Ferguson Waiyei Examination.

Thursday morning Of last week
Games Cunningham Of Davidson
l2wnship, while going over his
tarm, was shot, the ball from a
PISTOL entering his left shoulder,
i flicting a wound which pro-
6uced no serious results. Cum
Bingham accuses Albert Fergu-
con of doing the shooting, and it
il understood Ferguson claims
t@ have been at home at the time
il was done. Before ESQ. J. D.
Faden Tuesday Ferguson waived
animation and was bound over
tc the grand jury under bond of
$500.
Tt is remembered that several
months ago Cunningham emptied
the contents of a shotgun into
Ferguson's body, causing SER

A WeII=KnOWn Minister Dead.

Rev. Frank r. Noe, a minister
Of the Methodist church, who was
well known and much liked in
this section, died at Auvergne,
jackson county, | a Friday

He was veteran Of the Confed-

Some Meat That May Cost
A Dollar Pound Or More.

A citizen of the Southern Dis
trict was in Evening Shade Tues
day securing legal counsel as to
the proper method OF securing
possession of one Of his swine
which he alleges his neighbor is
now in possession Of, in fact,
fatt9ning in his pen. The Rec
ord doesn't know, but perhaps
twIhoat in question is worth q
dollar bill, and we can easily
see that his shoatship will prob
ably represent an expenditure of
a hundred dollar bill TO the man
who gains him after he has been
dragged through the courts. 1t
has often been demonstrated,
however, that if the average man
believes the least of his great
American rights and privileges
are being trampled upon, he is
ever ready to let loose ten dollars
to get back one. Man is queer
animal, anyhow,

Thursday morning, in an ad-
journed term Of County Court,
Judge Smith appointed Prof.
W. H. Watkins of Evening Shade
county examiner for the South
ern District of Sharp county, and
Prof. D. G.. Billingsley Of Ash
Flat examiner for the North ern
District ,These appointments
were made with the understand
ing that neither party should ex-
anime teachers living outside of

to examine teachers living in the
Northern District. We under
stand the two appointees have
entered into an agreement to this
effect.

Why New York Need Not Fear
a Hostile Fleet
City Too Well Defended Suffer from Attack of Most
Powerful Foreign Foe.

The visit of Prince Louis of Batten-
berg to this country is now but q men,
ory-pleasant and picturesque-but
the question which the British admiral
raised as to the helplessness of New
York before a fleet of the most mod
ern and powerful battleships is still
living issue. In fact, like Banquo's
ghost, it will not down, at least not
until it is downed by the array of
formidable facts as to the defenses
of the great eastern metropolis.
Prince Louis is reported to have said
either in jest or in earnest-that the
Is battleships and cruisers which
sailed into New York harbor under
the command of Admiral Evans and
himself could reduce the city to heap
of ruins in less time than the chef on
the princes flagship, the Drake. could
prepare an omelet, and naturally the
remark created no little sensation, and
Father Knickerbocker nearly had
cold chill, notwithstanding the warmth
OF the reception given to the royal
guest.
Are the defenses of New York city
incomplete and insufficient?
Could such a fleet of fighting ships
as Britain might muster, or France,
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1906-01-10

or Germany, get within striking dis
thunderbolts of fire and steel as to re-
duce the city to heap of ruins?
These are questions that are being
asked these days not only in New
York city, but throughout the whole
country, for no such calamity as was
limited at by Prince Louis could befall
the eastern metropolis without affect
ing the entire nation. Perhaps these
Qucustions have been answered before,
but just now people want them an
swered again, if for no otner reason
than to prove that our royal guest did
not know what he was talking about.
The Is forts and batteries in and
about New York harbor answer an en-
phatic no to the questions PROFOUND
ed. There are nearly 200 massive, pow
erful guns mounted in those forts and
batteries, ready at an instants notice
to thunder forth such mighty denial
of the charges Of weakness and ineff-
cheney as to make a veritable sieve out
of every armorclad battleship that
would have the temerity to poke its
nose within speaking distance of the
American shore and New York harbor.
Nearly 5000 soldiers are on the alert
day and night and drilling constantly.
Every day the big guns are oiled and
polished and made ready for the time
when they may be needed.
A hostile feet approaching New York
would be greeted by the shot and shell
from Forts Hancock Hamilton, Wads-
worth, Rodman, Trumbull. Wright.
Terry. Slocum, Schuyler, Totten, Jay
and other powerful batteries, long be-
fore they could come to and get into
action. At Fort Hancock, on Sandy
Hook, the most powerful guns in COM
mission are mounted, and admitting
that an attacking squadron would be
able to safely run the gauntlet of
mines with which the outer harbor
would be filled, it would have to reckon
with them. One of the guns is a 16-
inch giant, capable Of hurting 2,400-
pound projectile q miles at the rate of
1900 feet per second. While this gun
Is not mounted, it being inexpedient to
keep it in training in time of peace, it
could be quickly placed in position and
sweep the harbor approaches with its
terrific fire. And even granting its in
effectiveness at the 20-mile range, there
is no question that it would be for
midable weapon at the 10 or 12-mile
range.
Should the attempt be made to reach

sense OF subordination, too, had been
tried by tales of sneering remarks
made by Gen. This or Col. That, and
it firmly believed that much of Fred
Benton's present trouble was due to
the fact that he wouldn't stand hear

his fellow staff officers and his crow

who rarely saw heroism in anybody,
who secuted the idea of needing q
champion and who pronounced one
general of the Army of the Potomac,
at least, consummate ass. They
were mad clear through when tAid he
had declared Benton disloyal-"had

they had been pulling Benton to pieces
among themselves, because of his ap-
parent neglect of them and prefer
ence for his new associates. Now they
were all afire at the idea of any one
abusing him. and there was wrath
and wonder in camp when it was
learned that by order of Stanton him
self Fred Benton was held n close
arrest, with the prospect, said rumor,
of being sent to that so-called bastile
of the war days-Fort Lafayette.
Oh, a beautiful case was this worked
up against Capt. Fred Benton, A. D.
c., if the rumors from the rear could
be believed, and strange it was, indeed,
that in the midst of all the wrath and
despond in all ranks, there should APP

the city by way of Long Island sound
the invading fleet would have to run
a gauntlet of forts, beginning with Fort
Rodman, near New Bedford, to Fort
Trumbull, at New London, and ON
down the chain to Forts Wright and
Terry, standing on islands that divide
the fairway of the sound into narrow
channels. But should the enemy get
into the sound, feat by the way which
the North Atlantic squadron failed to
accomplish during the naval maneu-
vers two years ago, he would still have
to silence the powerful batteries OF
Forts Slocum, Schuyler and Totten. By
reference to the map it will be seen
that Fort Slocum stands off New Ro.
chelle while Schuyler and Totten stand
sternly vigilant five miles nearer the

any ships which might possibly get

two forts there are 16 great guns, and
no battleship or company of them
could hope to survive their raking
fire.

modern warfare have been mustered

no man could plan and fight with a
string to his shirt-tail and Stanton and
Halieck a-pull at the string. Reynolds,
calm and sagacious, soldier and fighter,
had been rendered command, and po-
litely declined. Meade, his subordi-

Reynolds would none of it, and with
prayer and misgiying picked up the
reins dropped by Hooker in sight of the
Maryland shore. And the same hard

TRIBUTE.

Pay tribute not alone DER dead
Who claim the tears due sacred dust,
Whose lives to valor long were wed,
Whose deeds were wise and just.
Rather, o friend, pause in thy quest
For golden wealth, for wider fame,
And give to those not richly blest
Immunity from blame.
Pause thou and praise the men who try,
Albeit failure crowns their work;
And gladly sound the names on high
OF those who never shirk.
Some mt reward to merit give;
Great Kindness unto error show;
Commend the good in those who live;
Perhaps the dead may know.
Give flowers. fair flowers, to tender hands
That clasp thy love and speed it far;
And watching by the ebbing sands
Look up and see life's star.
And ever softly speak a word
To put new hope in those who fail,
For censure's voice is never heard
Where prayers alone avail
