occurred before the battle of the Horseshoe.
 Early in March. 1914. General Jack son was appointed a Major General in the United States army, and was re- inforced by the 39th Regiment of Uni ted States Infantry. under command of Colonel John Williams. In the mean time a number of the Choctaws from the Tombigbee and Black Warrior, and some Chickasaws and a few friendly Creeks had joined General Jackson. Jackson moved on their fortified posi- ton on the 27th of March. and com menced the attack The battle lasted five hours.
 General Jackson's report of the bat tie was made to Governor Willie Blount of Tennessee and Is on file in the archives of the Historical Society of that State. at Nashville. Following are extracts from that report, dated March 31. 1874:
 "s I reached the bend of the Tallapoosa, three miles beyond where l had the engagements of the 22nd or January, and at the southern extremity of Newyonga, on the morning of the 27th. This bend resembles in it's curv- ature that of horseshoe, and Is thence called by that name among the whites Nature furnishes few situations SO eligible for defence. and barbarians have never rendered one more secure by art. Across the neck of land which leads into 1t from the north they had erected a breastwork of the greatest compactness and strength, from five to eight feet high, and prepared with double rows of portholes, very artrully arranged. The figure of this wall man. ifested no less skill in the projectors of 1t than its construction. An army could not approach it without being exposed to double and cross fire from the enemy, who lay in perfect security behind it. The area of the peninsula thus bounded by the breastworks in cludes, I conjecture, eighty or an hun dred acres.
 In this bend the warriors from Oakfurkee, Oakchaya. Newyouka, Hil- labecca, the Fish Pond and Eufaula

Icept three or four. The battle may be said to have continued with severity Tor about five hours, but the firing and the slaughter continued until 1t was | suspended by the darkness of the night The next morning 1t was resumed, and | sixteen of the enemy slain who had l concealed themselves under the banks. Our loss was twenty-six white men killed and 107 wounded; Cherokees, eighteen killed and thirty-six wounded | friendly Creeks, five killed and eleven wounded"
 The 39th regiment of infantry. com manded by General John Williams, had as lieutenants Sam Houston and Ben jamin Wright. The latter was just behind Major Montgomery when he was killed and was the first man to mount the ramparts. Houston received a wound in the right shoulder from an Indian arrow. which gave him pain all his life.
 The result of this battle was to for ever destroy the power of the Creek Indians. who had proved such formida- ble and determined foes.
 William Weatherford, Chief of the Creek Indians. who commanded the 1n- dians in Alabama, was born in 1770. and died in 1924. His father was a white trader and his mother Seminole or Creek Indian: On the 14th of April, 1874, he voluntarily surrendered to General Jackson. and. on making his surrender. he said:
 T am in your power. Do with me as you please. I am a soldier, I have done the white man all the harm could. I have fought them. and fought them bravely. If I had an army I would yet fight, and contend to the last, but I have none. My people are all gone: my warriors can no longer hear my voice. Their bones are at Talla dega, Tallasahatchee. Emuckfaw and Tohopeka. I have not surrendered myself thoughtlessly. Whilst there were chances for success I never left my post nor supplicated peace. But for myself and for my nation. The women and children of the war party who are now starving in the woods cali for peace"
 There was a crowd around General Jacksons tent who had listened to the speech. and some cried out. Kill him." General Jackson. in his peculiar, inn perious manner waved his hand and said: Any man who would kill as brave man as this would rob the dead"
 weatheford lived for many years on his plantation on Little Run. in Monroe County. Alabama. and retained tho respect of the white people

war with the United States. The Creek Indians. inspired and encourag- ed by their powerful allies, commenced depredattons on the whites. On the 30th of August they appeared before
 Fort Mims where, beside the families which had taken refuge there, more
 than 250 persons were massacred in the
 fort. On the 18th of the following
 December General Claiborne with 1000
 men, some of whom were friendly Choctaw Indians. under Chief Push mataha. attacked the Creeks under Weatherford at Eccanachaca, or Holy | Ground, and defeated them.
 General Andrew Jackson, who was Major General of the Tennessee militia. moved on the 10th of October, from | Huntsville. Ala, with 2,0O0 troops He attacked the Creeks on Tallahatchee | Creek, near the Coosa River. and de- | feated them, and they fled, leaving lS6
 warriors dead on the field, and eighty four were taken prisoners. The loss
 of the Tennesseans under Jackson was
 five killed and forty-one wounded. l The next engagement was near Tal- l ladega. where Jackson had a force of | 1,200 infantry and 800 mounted rife
 men. The Indian forces were about | 1000. The battle was fercely fought
 on both sides. and continued fer two
 hours. The Indians lost 300 dead or
 the field. while Jacksons loss was if | teen killed and eighty-flve wounded

Japanese Contract Labor.

 IT a person desires to employ a Japanese, or thousand of them, he does not make contracts with the in- dividual men, but with a Japanese con tractor. This is no new thing in Ceali- fornia, for our people were long &C., customed to make such contracts with Chinese bosses. There is this differ ence, however: When the contract was made with the Chinese boss the employ- CT knew that the work would be done precisely as specified in the contract. which was usually in writing. When we make a similar contract with a Japanese boss we do not know whether the work will be done or not If the men can do better elsewhere 1t must be expected that the contract will be repudiated and strike occur, so timed as to make acceptance of the revised terms unavoidable except at great loss.

 The Creeks, as a nation. for many years, under Spanish influence, had
 shown hostility to the American set tiers, yet, after the occupation of Louisiana by the United States, they
 had made treaties of friendship. Soon afetr the beginning of the War of 1912 with Great Britain. emissaries were dispatched by that government to the chiefs and head men of the Creek nation to excite them to an insurrec- tion against the Americans. The be- ginning of this movement was the

Rows of Corn on a Cob.

George Hanson Of this city is exhibit
ing an ear of corn grown on his farm
that is attracting a great deal of atteu-
ton. due to the fact that the ear has
an odd number Of rows Of grain-tNeuty-
three in ALL Several of the Oldest farm
ers in the neighborhood We're skeptica!
of the story until they were shown the
ear.
Rows of corn grow on the cob in even
numbers. and enc with an odd number
is considered an almost unheaTd of freak.
The ear in question is, however. we'll de-
yeloped, and the rows are straight and
even. Mr.. Hanson discovered it while
sorting corn for seed.
There is an old story to the effect that
once. in antebellum days. an old south
ern slave owner promised freedom to the
first negro who would find an ear Of
corn bearing an odd number of rows.
Among tue slaves was a young darby
who had a thought which he kept all to
himself. but when the corn was i'll the
roasting ear he went to the field and,
stripping back the husk from an ear,
he cut away one of the rows of grain
with a sharp knife. BY the time the
corn had reached it's maturity the wound
made by the knife had been entirely OBJ
liberated. and the ear showed an odd
number of rows of grains. The young
slave was accordingly given his freedom
and his cunning was not discovered IN
til he had gotten safely away.-ArcoIa
