The Brunswick Rif1emen met in
their armory last night with an unus

Interesting one.
During the evening Captain Robin

members of the command. in which
he incorporated a lecture delivered
to the First regiment by Col A. A.
Gordon in Savannah Tuesday night.
Capt. Robinson dwelt on the duty

RIOTS, mob violence. ETC.. and during

kindly give me his resignation now.
Captain Robinson then read the lee
ture delivered by Col Gordon Tues
day night, which. he said, he fully en-
dorsed. The lecture was a very
strong one and in part says:
Il am told that enlisted men have
excused a failure to protect prisoners

Oker and the Bear
A Story of the North Carolina
Mountains.
BY MARY GRAHAM MORRISON.

The little Andersons had come to
the mountains of North Carolina
the tall blue mountains whose tops
touch the sky-to spend the summer.
Jackie and Sophie were the names of
those little Andersons; and from the
day of their arrival their eyes were
in a perpetual state of roundness and
bigness over the bear stores that were
told to them by the old negro mann
N.Y."
So one day, when the met some
hounters who had come down from a
camp far up the mountains. their first
eager inquiry was as to bears.
No, they hadn't seen any bears, re-
piled the hunters; but they had
been almost devoured by razor-back
hogs.
There is one old fellow who wears
ell around his neck, and has lost
both of his ears, which gives him d
most surprising expression, quI:e like
an ogre, don't you know"
What is an Oker?" inquired Jackie
Hush, Jacket" whispered his wise
little sister. IAN Oker is something
that lives in a Fairy Tale book"
And this old rascal as the worst
thief in the lot" continued the man
in legg1ngS. He carries off anything
from a box of talcum powder to "a
bag of flour. Yesterday Barney ar

The men went on, leaving the chill
dren with a burning desire to
visit the camp and catch a glimpse of
the ogre.
Let's go!" they boldly planned.
The little Andersons were uncer-
tain as to what a camp really was,
but it sounded like Indians and wild
things.
1t was an awfully long way. The
little village street ran into an endless
white road, which filed ones slippers
with gravel; and then up, up the

reached.

nobody in sight, not even the ogre or an
Indian. Jackie could have cried with
disappointment.

cracks, but could spy nothing of inter-

He tried to reassure himself by sing

But the great bushes ratified dismally
overhead, and he was afraid to look
behind him; he was sure the bears were
creeping close.
Far over the mountain came a soft
"ting-ling!"
The sound drew nearer steadily; 1t
was home-like and companionable, and
Jackie sat up to listen. Out of the
bushes suddenly came a lank black
body. The small boy fell back and
rolled over in terror. A friendly ting

Starting up again Jackie stared at
the newcomer.
Are you the Oker?" he criad Joy

Crawling nearer he patted the
rough back, and gave a happy Jingle

at all. The Allison girls had come over

rocket if you can't shoot?"
Hurry up" said the skyrocket. and
Tommy forgot all about the willow
switch and the dreadful things that
happened to small boys who sent off
rockets. He held the stick up with
one hand and lit the top fuse with the
other.
Let go my tail!' cried the rocket,
as 1t began to sizz and splutter, but
Tommy was too excited to mind what
1t said. and all at once it shot up in
