| was a member of the Ninety-third
regiment of the Ohio Volunteer infan-
try. In the battle Of Chickamauga,
just at dark on Saturday, the 10Th OF
September, 1863, my leg was broken
by musket ball sent out by the
Johnnies In our front. This occurred
in the woods about half mile to the
west of Jays Mill, and we were falling
back at the time. Soon after our lines
had fallen back the Confederates es-
tablished their pickets for the night. A
squad five, If l remember correctly
were passing to the front about fifty
yards from where 1 had fallen. l call
ed to them. They halted, and asked
me who I was and what 1 wanted.
replied that 1 was a wounded Federal
soldier, and wanted to be helped into
an easier position, as 1 suffered from
broken leg. They came to me
promptly and assisted me as gently as
If had been one of their own men or
a brother to a large tree where would
be protected from the fire Of our own
men, first taking off my woolen blan-
ket and spreading it down for me to
lie on, placing my cartridge box under
my head for a pillow and spreading
my oilclOth over me.
The tenderness with which they had
lifted me touched me, and I said:
Boys, an hour or two ago we were
engaged in shooting each other, and
| now you are treating me with the
greatest kindness. 1 hardly know how
| to thank you for 1t in return" The
only reply they made was: "Well, old
fellow, we are doing to you only as
we should like to be done by. 1t may
come our turn next" and they passed
on to the front picket line for the
night. l was suffering so at the time
that 1 did not notice all the little de-
tails connected with this visit Of the
Johnnies that night; but the next
morning, when l awoke from a half
feverish, dreamy sleep, 1 found that
one of them had spread half Of a
homemade calico quilt over me, saying
nothing about 1t, and doubtless keep.
ing the other half to shelter him in his
nightlong watch on picket post. Was
there ever a more beautiful type OF
chivalry and Christian charity thar
tins? This incident grows brighter tt
me as the years go by. God bless you

love to have you for my neighbors.

Bury Your Troubles.

Train yourself to keep your troubles
to yourself. Don't pour them out upon
acauaintances or strangers. 1t isn't
their fault if you have troubles, and
they don't want to hear Of yours, be-
cause they have so many Of their own.
And besides-here Is a point to consid-
er-if you insist on telling other peo-
ple of your grievances they will at
length come to dislike and shun you,
because thereby you prevent them
from telling their troubles.

James, whose recent return to the work
from which she was driven by nervous

He is the Man Who Brought Out the
Facts in the Cotton Scandal.
(By the Associated Press.

(By the Associated PfeSS.-
Washington. d. c., August 2.-Wat-
terson Stealey, the well known news
paper correspondent sends out the
following with regard to matters af-
fecting the Agricultural Department:
1t is declared here that Secretary
Wilson has not entered into this in
VeStigation with the proper spirit and
that much more could be accom-
plished by the Secretary's leaving
Washington for a time. 1t is believed
that the President would not object
to the Secretary's prolonging this pro-
posed trip several weeks beyond, the
original time. Just al present the
fraud in the Agricultural Department
is being neglected ard al the en'r,,y
of the government is confined to try

seems to be rlore anxious To even

set a case against Holmes, and un-
cover additional rG,scality in. the de-

the exposures in his department. and

ing the Secretary about the leak in

Mr.. Cheatham, however, keeps

RECORD BIG FIRE
Scotland Neck's Largest
for the Year.
Ten Thousand Dollar Loss With Only
About One Thousand Four Hun
dred Insurance. Broke Out A.
ter Midnight.
Especial to News and observer.) }

(Speclal TO News ana observer
Scotland Neck, N. c., Aug. q
The second big fire this year occur
red here last night entailing a loss
of $4,000 with only $1,40O insurance.
Soon after midnight the alarm was
sounded and quickly the people of
the town were aroused to find that
a destructive fire was raging near
Main street i'm the business part of
the town.
The fire started in a small out-bulid-
ing in the rear of the store of S. !.
Stern and j. r. Askers. For half "a
block south from the corner of 18th
and Main streets the buildings were
entirely wood and it was at once evI-
dent that they must all go. About half
way the block is the brick store of
Edwards & Co., and the only hope
of checking the flames entered in that
building. With anything like
strong wind from the east or south
east, the entire block would probably
have been destroyed, including some
handsome residences facing Church
street, west of Main.
In an hour after the alarm was
given the destruction of four grocery
stores a sewing machine shop, shoe
shop barber shop, and cafe was COM
plete, all being burned to Edwards &
Co.'S. store which staid the flames.
The buildings destroyed We're: cor
ner grocery store of S. j. Stern, owned
by himself, most of the stock saved
but badly damaged, with $500 In
Surance.
Grocery store of ]. r. Askew, owned
by himself stock partially saved with
$500 insurance on the building.
]. H. Nusbon's grocery store, build
ing owned by Mrs @. Fl. Herring, no
insurance on stock or building.
Grocery store of A. G. Peterson
building owned by G. w. Bryan, stock
partially saved but no insurance or
the building and only $400 on stock
Mr.. Bryan also owned one or two
of the smaller buildings or sheds oc-
cupied as shoe shop, barber shop and
restaurant.
All the buildings were so crowded
and of such a kind and in such con-
dition that the insurance was so high
it was almost prohibitive.
There was not a vacant building
in the town and the unfortunate
victims of the fire had to pack their
goods away anywhere they could find
a place.
In the fire which occurred a few
months ago at the other end of the
business portion of the town Mr.. Pc
terson suffered a loss similar to the
loss of last night. Some of the owners
of the buildings being out of town
it is not known whether or not the
buildings will be replaced. The laws
of the town forbid the erection of a
wooden structure of any kind within
two hundred feet of Main street so
whatever buildings may be erected
in the burned district will be of brick.
