MARION'S BRIGADE
BY MAJOR J. H. ROBINSON

uie WITH MN, Willle Mrs. Martin attempt
ed to demonstrate with the soldiers; but
she might as well have spoken to the
winds Of mad tempest; opposition but
infamed their desire to pcrpetrate some
thing horrible.
| Cant you drag the gal away, some on
ye?' asked one of the soldiers.
"Of course we can,' replied one of his
comrades.
Stand back, miscreant - cried Kate,
drawing from her bosom one of the pis-
tolls which Sawyer had given her. "Ad-
vance another step, or presume to lay
your infamous hand on my person, and /
will certainly fire !"
The soldier paused and looked wonder
ingly at Kate, whose hand did not trem-
BILE, and whQee eyes did not cease Co flash
with determination.
Don't stir, my man. or she'll do it;
It's in her eyev cried the commander of
| the party, in warning voice.
One of the Dragons now cooked his
musket, but instantly, before he had time
to accomplish his fell purpose upon the
pastor without endangering Kate, Mrs.
Martin placed herself before him. 1t is
| impossible to tell what would have been
the result of these proceedings, had not
Joe Sawyer at that moment burst into
the room, exclaiming in very loud and
peremptory voice:
II come from Col. Ferguson. He wants
| you to hurry to the rendezvous with the
| prisoner as soon as possible; he's getting
in a terrible passion about your long abb
sence; he's threatenin' hard things, tell
YOU" E,~~
The leader of the squad had sense
enough to tremble at the mention of the
name of Ferguson.
ITO your duty, men!" he cried: "we've
been foolin' long enough. Set old Mar
tin ON horseback, and let us be off, or
we shall catch it, and no mistake
"And mark the rest : He says that no
violence must be offered to the rebel
prisoner; and you'll be answerable, il
there is" asked Joe.
Hurry, you rascais," said the officer.
THE best thing you can do, sir. I'll
help you get the prisoner mounted. Come,
Mr.. Martini" continued Joe, looking sig
nificantly at Kate, mount, and be off
with these tine lads. The colonel wants
to see you. Miss Martin, don't be a-hin-
derin' the kings men they have trouble
enough, without hayin' foolish women get
tin in their way in sich times as these"
Kate instantly fell back with CRATE
full look at Joe, who thereupon assisted
Mr. Martin out of the house and to mount
a horse. After some clustering the dra-
goons succeeded in getting into their sad
dies, and then rode away with their pris-
oner.
do you think he is safe with them"
asked Kate.
Joe replied that they would not now
dare to offer him any violence, on account
of the colonel, of whom they stood much
in fear. Kate then inquired IL he had re-
ally been to the Tory rendezvous.
"Not at ALL" he replied. II found out
that mischief was going on, and made
up the story to suit the occasion; and
it has worked very well, for tonight Ma
rion's brigade will rescue him."
Mrs. Martin and Kate did not neglect
to express their heartfelt thanks to Saw
yer for his timely aid; Kate felt that the
old adage was true, that kindness con-
ferred never fails to receive its reward.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct 1.-Two thousand
retail druggists. coming from all parts
of the Union and representing the
seventy-five thousand persons engag-
ed in that business in the United
States, are gathered i'm Atlanta today
for the ninth annual convention of the
National Association of Retail Drug
gists. During the four days the con-
vention will be in session the drug
trade will be thoroughly discussed
from commercial, educational and
scientific standpoints. There is like
ly to be some plain talk concerning
the competition to which the retail
druggists are subjected from dry
goods, department and other stores.
as well as from the cut rate empo-
RUINS that are now to be found in ev-
cry large city. Those wholesale drug
gists that are alleged to act as feed
ers" for cut rate stores will come in
for some sharp criticism. Another
matter 10 receive attention is the
present widespread movement de-
manning pure and unadulterated
drugs.
The formal opening of the conven-
ton takes place tonight in the senate
chamber Of the state capitol The
president of the association, NJ T.

and the delegates will be welcomed

one knows anything about it. 1t is
possible that the President already
has someone in mind and will name
him as soon as Taft finally declines
the place.
These and other matters will have
to be rushed through this month $50
that the President may be feady to
take his Panama trip as soon as the
election is over next month. AS the
President will not get back from Pan
anna until about the time congress
meets, it is necessary that he should
have the bulk of his message pre-
pared before his departure. He has
already done considerable work on
the message, and most public men
think they can foretell pretty well
what he will say to congress. They
take it for granted that he will devote
great deal of his message to his
plans for further regulating and con
trolling the corporations. They will
not be surprised If he asks congress
to enact at the short session n law
requiring every corporation doing IN
interstate business to take out a Fed
eral license. They are sure he will
come out strong for the Philippine
tariff bill, which the senate side track
ed last winter. He has already init
mated that he will espouse Senator
LaFollette's bill limiting the hours of
labor of railroad employees, and it is
pretty well understood that he will
press for some other legislation de
signed to reduce the number Of acct
dents on the railroads. j. viii not be
a surprise il he has something to say
about graduated inheritance tax.
Speculation is rife as to whether he
will discuss the tariff question. The
stand-patters ATE confident he will
not, while the revisionists arc just as
certain that he will come ont in favor
of doing something, ami OF doing il
right away.
On Thursday of this week the Pres
ident is to go to Harrisburg 10 attend
the dedication of the new Pennsyl-
vania state capitol. Afterward he is
to go to York to speak at the county
fair there. 1t is semi-oiiicially an
nomceu that the President will not
touch IIon politics in eI,1eI address.
The present state campaign in Penn
sylvania is very complicated affair,
with the reform" element of the Re
publicans fused with the Democrats
in bitter fight TO overthrow the old
time Republican machine that has
controlled the state since its organize
ton by the late Senator Quay. Both
sides have endeavored TO obtain The
support of President Roosevelt, hut
the latter has remained strictly ueu

to keep out of the fray

Washington, d. c., Oct Re
freshed by his summer sojourn at
oyster Bay, President Roosevelt re-
turns to Washington to find his desk
piled high with official business await
ing his attention. In the language of
the street there is certainly enough
business on hand ito hold him for
awhile
In addition to the Cuban problem
and other important questions with
which, of course, he has kept in per
sonal touch right along, there is a
large amount of business of more or
less routine nature that has been al
lowed to accumulate during his alb
sence from the executive mansion.
The Keep Commission, appointed a
year and a half ago, to investigate the
departments and make Recommended
tions for improvements, has about
completed its final report and this will
receive the early attention of the
President The Commission has been
through all the executive departments
and will make a good many recon-
mendations, none of them extremely
radical, but all of them of more or
less importance.
1t is an assured fact that the Presi-
dent will now give his personal atten-
ton to the enforcement of the reform
legislation enacted at the recent sess-
ion of congress. He is anxious that
the Interstate Commerce commission
shall get results under the rate law.
and he will support Secretary Wilson
in the enforcement of the meat in
spection law which goes into full
forced today. When he is not busy
with other matters he can spur on the
many trust Investigations he now has
under his command. 1t is well under
stood that he is particularly anxious
that the Department of Justice shall
make a case against the Standard Oil
company. The campaign against this
comp N has received his personal at
tend rom time TO time
Another matter that may be expect
ed to receive his attention at an early
date is the filling of the vacancy on
the Supreme Court bench caused by
the resignation of Justice Brown.
When Justice Brown resigned last
spring the place was unofficially of
fered to Secretary Taft, but Mr.. Taft
could not make up his mind at that
time as to what he ought to do, and
so 1t was arranged that Justice Brown
should sit until the end of the term,
thus affording the President an oppor-
tunity to keep the place open until the
court reconvenes this month. The
prevailing impression here is that
Secretary Taft will not take the place,
but it is only an impression, for no

Bangor, Me, Oct. 1.-Maine's deer
hunting season opened today and will
continue until December Is, Sundays
excepted. According to reports from
the woods, brought down by men who
have been camping and canoeing,
game is very plentiful this year. hav-
ing wintered well and enjoyed better
protection than usual this summer.
According to the figures Of the Fish
and Game Commission about twenty
thousand deer and five hundred
moose are killed every season in the
Maine woods. The best hunting is in
the regions about the Penobscot
river, Moosehead lake and Aroostook
county While the shooting Of big
game is a sport and pastime for the
men from the cities. it has come to
be regarded by the Maine country
folk chiefly as a source of revenue.
and as such is pronounced a great
success.

The "penny-a-line correspondents
of Alabama in Sundays papers report
ed the venerable Senator Pettus of
that State as having been the victim
of a slight attack of paralysis in Wash
ington, last week, and that he will
spend the summer at Tate Springs
for recuperatiOn of his health. The
correspondent then goes on in a vol
uble manner discussing the succession
to both the senators from Alabama,
with names of alternate candidates
who are seeking election to those po-
sitions. Senators Morgan and Pettus
are both quite old men-veterans in
the service of their state and dearly
beloved by the people-but they
should be permitted to serve their
terms out without being haunted by
the ghoulish politicians who are i'm
patient for them to remove from the
scene of usefulness.
Later dispatches state that Senator
Pettus arrived at his home in Selma
as vigorous as ever, and denies the
reports of his i'll health.

The Mississippi railroad commission

The Mississippi railroad commission
last week completed the assessments
of railroad properties in the State, re-
sulting in an increase of thirty three
per cent over last years assessment,
or a tax upon total valuation of S48,-
100000 as compared to $50, 800, 900 for
the previous listing. This may seem
to be an excessive advance, but in
reality the railroad properties are not
yet assessed as high as other property
in proportion to their values. On the
Illinois Central and Yazoo & Missis-
sissippi Valley roads, classed as of
highest values in the State, the as
sessment was raised from SO, 900 to
$4,000 per mile; the Mobile & Ohio
and Alabama & Vicksburg from S12,-
600 to 10000, and other lines in pro-
portion.

1t is said that President Roosevelt

internal revenue service in North
Carolina in the civil service class, in
order to break up the factional con
tentions in the Republican party in
that state. He is reported to have
said that appointments to revenue
positions in the South give him more
trouble than all the balance of the
Union, because there are only few
more Republicans than just enough
to fill the offices, and the "outs" and
the ''ins'' are in continual contro-
versy over the patronage.
