THE NAVAL COLUMN CHARGING UP THE BEACH

the other side of the peninsula. Here
line of defenses was begun in order
to repel any advance of the Confeder-
ates from Wilmington 1t was seen
that the fire from the navy was doing
much damage, and an assault was de-
termined upon for the afternoon of the
10th. Terry was to send in three bri-
gades in columns of Il brigade front to
storm the land side, while 1000 sail
ors and marines should assaii the
works on the sea side.
The Confederate garrison Of the fort
numbered 1900 men. General Whit,
ing, Confederate commander of the de-
partment of North Carolina, had en-
tered the fort from Wilmington on the
18th, after the hostile armada and
troops appeared, and had told the COM
mandant, Colonel Lamb. that he and
his command were to be left to their
fate, for General Bragg was looking
for position to which to retreat and
would not aid in defending the fortress.
The preparations for assault We're
discovered in the fort, and an attempt
was made to confuse the Federal col
umns by firing grape. but the storms
of shot that swept the works from ma
Wy guns cut down the Confederates'
cannoneers at an appalling rate, and it
was evide1sa that the danger could only
, be averted by hand to hand struggles
on the walls. At 8 o'clock promptly
the signal for assault was given by the
noise of more than fifty steam whis-
ties of Porter's fleet, and the land col
umn sprang forward to the charge
General n. NJ. Curtis brigade had
khe lead in the charging line and push
ed forward to the northwest bastion,
near the river. The Confederates were
seen to man the parapets the moment
the naval fire ceased, which was done
to allow the Federal troops to move up.
Colonel Lamb judged by the soul stir
ring whistles that the hour had come,
and he desired to receive the assail-
ANTS on his torpedoes as soon as they
reached the walls. Leaving instruc-
tons with the commander of the north.
west front, he went to the angle of the
works where the naval column had
been sighted, fearing that that was the
vital point The sailors had landed
successfully and halted beyond rife
range under cover of the sand hills
that formed the surface of the beach.
The men were in one long line and
made formidable show, deceiving the
enemy into the belief that this was the
main assault and dividing his garrison.
At the signal the sailors moved down
the beach, sheltered by a line of sand
hills, and then turned squarely upor

morning of the 18th the New Ironsides

the ironclads reached as near as 700
yards and got into position under a
heavy fire. The landing of Terry's men
was covered by several vessels not en-

CATION of Bayou Teche from St.
Martilville to Port Barre. The

desired are fully described in the
report of Mr.. j +. Brownlee, AS.

forms part Of the document here.
tofore referred to 1t consists, in
brief, Of Ql dredging the Teche

The Teche is now navigable the

l am quite convinced from infOr-
nation gathered from reliable
sources, that the tonnage this
year will be fully $50, 600 tons, or
double what it was in 1899, six
years ago The tonnage recited
above, however, but slightly gives
an idea of the value of the traffic
Of that stream In the report at
tached herewith and forming a
part Of same are statistics collect
ed by Mr.. +. T. King, a man per
sOnally known to me, Of splendid
reputation for ability in this line
of business, employed by the po-
lice juries Of the Parishes through
which the Teche runs. And in
his detailed statement of the
| traffic on that stream is classified
by him as follows:
Total commerce directly
interested $26,S4O, 1895
Total commerce indirect
ly interested 100000. 90
Total commerce $4O,s4O. 47959
This estimate was made Zebra
airy 3rd, 1896. In making the es,
innate Mr.. King, to nay personal
knowledge, devoted several
months Of work travelling over
the entire territory and gathering
tho statistics from the most avail
able sources only.
The tonnage reported for the
year 1896 was scarcely half of the
tonnage this year, and of course
the estimate made by Mr.. King
included only the commerce then
directly or indirectly affected. 1t
is safe to say that the value of
that commerce was not Overesti
mated, because the products that
form the commerce along the
stream consisting of rice, lumber,
cotton, and sugar, all four of
which are Of great tonnage value.
The total amount of money
heretofore appropriated for the
Improvement Of the navigation of
this stream, commencing with
1870 mp to and including the last
appropriation in 1902, is $sS,5OO.
SO small has the appropriation
been, compared to the traffic on
that stream, that in the report Of
your Committee Report No 1856,
H. Il. 57th Congress, LIST session J
Bayou Teche is referred to as one
Of FIVE streams that has cost the
Government very little compared
with its traffic. And believe Mr..
Burton, the Chairman of your
Committee, made special reference
to this fact in his speech on the
Rivers and HarbOrs Bill of 1902.
The amount required for this
improvement (s245,O86) is very
small compared with the immense
advantages to accrue from the i'm
prOvements and | believe the
whole am punt should be included |
Ia the bill now being formulated,
as this Is practically the
lily stream in my District max
ing an effort and requiring any ap.
at this time. If the
,ntire amount cannot be provided
or in your present bill, a suffi.
'ient amount at least, should be
included to dredge the Bayou from
It. Martinville to Port Barre, and
o construct the LOCK gates at Port
Barre. The locks are estimated

WHISKY BY ANOTHER NAME
GOVERNMENT GETTING BEHIND
DRY COUNTY LIQUOR.
Makers of Patent Medicine Must Take
Out License, and So Must the
Druggists Who Sell 1t.

The commissioner of internal reve-
nue. at Washington has rendered de-
cision that will seriously affect
number of patent medicines composed
largely of distilled liquors. He has
reversed ruling of his department
made many years ago, and now de-
cides that the manufacturers of these
medicines must take out license as rec
filters and liquor dealers, and that
druggists and others handling them
will have to pay the usual retail liq-
uor dealers license. The commits
sioner, in a letter of instruction to
collectors of internal revenue, says
there are a number of compounds on
the market going under the name of
medicies that are composed chiefly of
distilled spirits, without the addition
of drugs or medicines in sufficient
quantities to change materially the
character of the whiskey.
While no statement is made by the
commissioner as to the medicines that
will be affected, it is believed that
several prominent ana nignly aQVer-
tised medicines will be affected by the
decision. In some instances the med
icines have been found to contain as
high as As per cent of alcohol, and
there are many on the MARKET it is
said, that contains % per cent of al
cohol. These medicines are said to
have immense sales in prohibition
communities, figures collected in Mas
sachusetts recently showing that
much advertised compound with a
high percentage of whisky had been
bought to the extent of 300, 600 bottles
in one year in prohibition commune
ties of one New England state.

the same time last year, and also
comparing the yield per acre.
On this basis the average for Texas
is shown as AL per cent. worse; In
dian Territory, l7.28 worse; Oklaho-
ma, IL 20 worse. This indicates a pro-
ductiOn of 2.2ll, 866 bales for Texas;
$50. 79l for Indian Territory and 2oO,-
40$ for Oklahoma.
Recent rains have revived the plant
somewhat in northern Texas and 1T is
again fruiting in most localities. Inc
actual production depends largely up
on the occurrence of frost. The crop
in the northern half of the state is IN
all stages of development, ranging
from bloom to boil, much OF 1t having
been planted late. Picking IS JusI De-
Ginning in the nOrthernmOst counties.
Midway between the northern ana
southern limits % to IS per cent. OF
the crop has been picked. In the
northern portion of the state picking
is well advanced, ranging from 30 per
cent to completion.
The output in that district is much
above that of last year and many
counties report the best crop since
1900. Plants have not fruited for some
weeks past. .,o
Farmers are preparing to burn the
stalks to prevent Information OF Wee
wills. AS a rule labor for picking is
plentiful, and the prices lower than
usual.

JEWS FOR SOUTHERN FARMS
HON. PLEASANT STOVALL ON THE
LABOR QUESTION.
Are an Agricultural and Industrious
People. Their Terrible Con-
dition in the Big Cities.

dition in the Big Cities.
Hon. Pleasant A. Stovall of Savan-
nah, in discussing the labor problem,
says:
In the columns of The Press we have
lately had the opportunity of seeing
the question of modern Zionism dis
cussed at some length, both pro and
con. The avowed purpose of this
plan is the alienation of the extremely
severe conditions under which the Jews
now exist in Russia through the es-
Establishment of a Hebrew republic in
Palestine. We have no desire to go
into the value or practicability of Iii
onism. We would, however, bring
notice to the fact that the Palestinian
scheme can but solve the problem of
the Russian Jew. There is a problem
of the American Jew, and for this Iii
onism offers no solution.
The Jew is the most conspicuous in
habitant of New York-conspicuous
by his multitudinous presence. And
the filth, the horror, the poverty that
exist in the east side-the district he
monOpOliZes-is matter of history,
and a cause of sorrow and heartache
to all in whose breasts the milk of
human kindness" has not run dry.
The great congestion is a serious men
ace to life, health and morality. And
with each arrival of a vessel from
some European port great crowd of
Jewish emigrants is added to their
already overlooking number. They
enter and stop in New York. No at
tempt is made to invade the vast coun-
try that lies beyond. Truly, we have
here most troublesome problem,
which Zionism will not solve. The
Jews once in America, and having
tasted of the joys of freedom and JUS
tice, will not depart to such an un-
heard-of country as Palestine.
The question we would put just now
is this: Can we not make use of the
Jewish emigrants in the south?
We can no longer depend upon ne
gro labor. 1t has not taken us long
to discover this. Poor, weak and I'M
trustworthy, the negro's work par
takes of all the elements of his nature.
Besides, he is becoming dissatisfied
with an agricultural life and is thrOng-
ing to the city.
Our farmers are crying for hands.
The Russian Jews are labOrers and
agriculturalists. They are, as race,
intelligent, sober, honest and indus
trious. They would be a very well
come addition to our citizenry. They
are just the kind of labor that the
south at present demands.
The Press, then, offers suggestion.
! The Jewish philanthropists in America
should organize company for colo
nizing their brethren in the south.
They will undoubtedly receive the
hearty cooperation of their christian
neighbors. Labor is high-waged and
| in great demand. Let US have Jewish
emigrants in Georgia.
