The deadlier blow thou would'st deal,
Deeper wound in thy hand is made

Enlisted at Ace of II.

Capt Eugene Merrick, now a resi-
dent of Los Angeles, Cal, claims to
have been the youngest soldier of the
civil war. He succeeded in enlisting
during the last year of the rebellion,
after being six times rejected by the
mastering officer, at Yorkville, ILL.,,
near which he was born and where
his father and three elder brothers
Joined the union ranks.
On the occasion of his seventh and
successful attempt to join the ranks
Merrick selected a time when a large
crowd was waiting to be mustered in
to service and the examination was,
as a result, less strict. He was then
only II years old and stood feet in
his stockings his age and size
being considerably below the mini
mum limit
However in the rush, he was passed.
He was ordered to Louisville and fol-
lowed Sherman in his famous march
from Atlanta to the sea, afterward
taking part in the battle of Resaca,
Ca, on the Ostinola river, where Wof-
ford surrendered to Steadman.
He was first Tn der fire at Nashville,
Tenn, and admits that his belligerent
spirits were considerably dampened
when the enemy's bullets began to
whisper around him. However, he
soon caught the contagion of the fight
ing fever and went bravely through
the balance of the campaign, being
mustered out at Savannah, Ga, Jan.
20, 1866.
Merrick is now So years of age and
does not look over 40. He was not
wounded in the war, though he partici-
pated in many fierce engagements

So suddenly sad in your eyes;

But it went to my heart like a knife.
Why was it? We laughed and were hap

What imp in the air came and prompted

To stir up ghost of the past?
Why could you not be your own sweet

And not waken old 1ongings anew?

Another Monument for Gettysburg.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 3-Returns
from today's state election indicate that
a light vote has been polled over the
state.
The Democratic ticket, headed by
Hoke Smith for governor, has been
elected by the usual majority, there
being no opposition except the Social
lists, headed by j. B. Osborne
The campaign for the nomination was
one of the most strenuous and bitter in
the history of Georgia, lasting over a
speeches in every city, town and ham
let in the state.
Hoke Smith was not at first a candi
date, but Clark Howell of the Atlanta
Constitution began to acquire strength
as candidate, a fact which angered
Smith. and caused him to enter the
race. He declared Howell to be the
candidate of the Southern railroad,
against which corporation Mr.. Smith
hurled his fiercest invectives, as the
Southern railroad had held control OF
Georgia politics for many years.
Smiths candidacy was taken up by
Tom Watson, the Populist editor OF
Watsons Magazine, and all the ele-
ments opposed to the Southern rail
roads domination at once combined in
support of Smith, who won out by a
tremendous vote.
Mr.. Smith had a platform which at
tracted much attention. He proposed,
among other things, that the Southern
Railroad company should be regarded
by the state as alien to the states in
terest and should be taxed so heavily
that Its stockholders would be com
PEELED to sell their railways to citizens
of the state, SO that the road might
pass into the hands of Georgians.
He also held that negroes should not
be permitted to vote and he favored
such state measures as would prevent
such voting.
Altogether it was a picturesque cam
paign and Hoke Smith became again
one Of the greatest an dmost pictur-
esque of southern Democratic leaders.
The election of Smith to the governor
ship was really settled at the primaries
