Reco1lections of a
Confederate Soldier
By Capt. Geo. B. Lake.

Chronicle comes to me from my old
home. 1t is read with as much interest
as letter from dear friend; but so
often it brings the sad intelligence that
another comrade has passed over the
river 10 rest under the shade of the

Only the rear guard is left now. A
little while longer, after a roll call on
the other side, the report will be, "all

days ago, says, "Pugh Jones, an old,
confederate soldier, died yesterday

1t recalls just one OF hundreds OF in
cidents that showed the readiness OF
Southern SOLDIERS to obey orders, no
matter how much danger attended.
When Gen. J. L. Johnston learned
that Pemberton hal surrendered at
Vicksburg he fell back with his little
army Of about twenty thousand men TO
Jackson, and entrenched Sherman
followed with more than fifty thous-
and soldiers. Two days after the con
federates reached Jackson we were
skirmishing with Shermans men. The
fighting kept up more or less for nine
days. General Johnston had an arm,
more than twice the size OF his own in
his front and the Pearl river in his
rear. Near the Sharky House the con
federates bad two siege guns. The men
operating these guns were constantly
losing one Of their number, killed or
wounded by some Yankee sharp-shoot-
ers, who were in a house immediately
in front. About one hundred yards n

Lettei to j. III. Lewis,
Tazewell, Va.

D9ar Sir: We asked City Drug Co
Crystal Springs, Miss, TO sell Devoe.
They wanted to know, OF their own
knowledge, how it compared with
another paint they knew all about-it
was sold right there, and considered
good.
They painted the house OF w b Nc
Quincy two coats on purpose to test
the two paints against one-another:
one coat Devoe gallons; the other
coat OF that other paint 10 gallons.
Difference $40: 81 for paint, S13 for
labor.
That other paint is made in New
Orleans; is pure; is considered an ex-
cellent paint, and has good deal of
local goodwill.
But the standard OF paint has been
low all through the southwest That
paint is thin; it is, you see, six-tenths
of paint. Devoe saves $40 over it on
half small job.
1t is a case OF local best compared
with actual best.

RAISING SQUADS.

To make money in SQUAD W
care and attention must be given to the
work in hand. and the birds must be
properly cared for and wen
fed and looked after through the sea
son of growing squads. 1t is possible
from good. strong, large-sized breeding
stock to roduce squads at four weeks
old that will weigh from Z to - pounds
per dozen. size, weight and growth de-
pending entirely upon the quality OF
the producing stock, the care AND at
tention bestowed upon them and the
care and quality of food fed to the
parent pigeons. There is no question
that money can be made in growing
squads, IL properly done. SQUAD grow
ing has ecome, like the growing OF
poultry. a business, and not q pastime,
and 1t is possible for those who under
stand it to handle several hundred pairs
successfully
Wild pigeons and ommon pigeons
will do to grow squads, but the squads
are never so large or SO desirable for
market as are the young grown from
the large, strong, vigorous .homing
pigeons. 1t always pays best to OBJ
tain the finest and largest producing
stock possible, and the homing pigeons
seem to meet the demands best of all.
When starting in the pigeon business.
1t would be ratherN expensive to pur-
chase 100 to 500 pairs. 1t will scarcely
be likely that one unfamiliar with the
work would be able to handle SO many.
You had better start in with twelve, to
twenty-fpur pairs and practice with
these for h first year, Keep for
breeders the following season all that
you can grow from these. Gain the
experience at as little cost as possible
and secure more cheaply than you could
purchase an addition to our flock II
in a year from now you are satisfied
with the business and the progress you,
have made, you might then purchase
as many more fully mature birds as
you feel disposed to keep, with the as
surance of being able to handle and
succeed with them without making a
loss. Growing squads is a business in
which you had better make haste
slowly.

PEAT ALCOHOL as FnEL.

The question If alcohol as q fuel for
motors has recently been investigated in
a thorough manner by British experts,
and 1t has been found that the cost of
obtaining the fluid from ordinary grains,
vegetables, etc, is too great to make 1t a
substitute for gasoline from a standpoint
of price. 1t has been found, however,
that alcohol may be obtained from peat,
which is gathered in quantities in differ
ent parts of Europe and in the colder
climates of North America. 1t Is esti-
mated that peat alcohol may be marketed
for as low as 6 cents a gallon.
The process consists in mixing peat with
dilute sulphuric acid in definite quantity.
heating 1t to a definite temperature and
pressure for a definite time and thus OBJ
tanning an extract containing saccharine
matter which may be fermented. after par
tial naturalization with lime, by means Of
a special fermentation Of yeast. Similarly
the solid residue, after being drained and
dried, is distilled, apd made to yield am
monia and oils, the ammonia being subke-
quently converted into sulphate. Other bye
products are obtained at the same time.
including ether, suIphate of lime and
methyl alcohol, employed extensively as 4
denaturant for Industrial alcohol.
In the fermentation watts a special yeast
which grows in the peat bog and which
is found greatly superior to either beer
or win yeast for the purpose. COMPANIES
have already been formed in Great Bril-
tain and Ireland for the manufacture of
peat alcohol. the promoters Of which are
fluid in unlimited quantities and at q low
price.

NEW ORLEANS PLANS TO
SELL COTTON FOR CASH.
Wants Federal Treasury to Assist in
Transfer of Money Paid for
Crop in Europe.

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 1.-Several plans
for moving the cotton crop and thereby
nffording general financial relief were I'M
der way at NeY Orleans today. Unofficial
ly, word was received from Secretary OF
the Treasury Cortelyou that he will in
vestigate h possibility of paying out
cash at the New Orleans sub-treasury for
money deposited by European cotton buy
ers with United States fiscal agents
abroad. Several local exporters announced
that they stand ready to do immediate
business on this basis.
New Orleans bankers, acting in concert
with State banks, nave arranged to modify
the present stringent rules about paying
out cash so as to favor the movement OF
both cotton and sugar. This plan contem-
plates a Judicious distribution of available
cash to country tanks which in turn dis
tribute the o in an equitable manner
among planters and small farmers, en-
abling immediate sale of crops.
Handling of spot cotton continued here
todav.l although the banks were closed
on account of All Saints Day, a State
holiday. The future trading branch of the
Cotton Exchange also closed for the day,
but the exchange remained open for spot
business.

MILK TRAFFIC IN BOSTON.
Concentration of the Business Con-
stantly Increases-More Shops.

This city receives 1855, s49 quarts Of milk
daily, but not all Of it ie being used here,
says the Boston Transcript.
The Capitalization Of the milk traffic is
constantly increasing. This is we'll illus
trated by the rapidly lessening numbe Of
milkmen. At this time there are only
36 licensed dealers, a loss of twenty-eight
over the preceding year. This naturally
means more business for the remaining
milkmen. The number Of shops selling
milk shows an increase eof lit over 1905;
3,74s shops are now engaged In the sale
of milk in this city.
About 1913, $50 quarts are subjected to
commercial pasteurization daily, which
means the heating of the milk to between
$50 and ITO degrees Fahrenheit. The milk
Inspector does not approve this method
unless 1t is regulated by labelling the
product.
During the ummer months one Arm
claims to supply the customer with mill
twelve hours old and another concern de-
livers milk to a portion of its patrons
throughout the summer months Of the
same age. while the balance. of its Gus
toners receive their milk when 1t Is TWEEN
ty-five hours old. Another firm In winter
serves one-ha1f OF its family trade with
milk twelve hours old, while the remain
ing retail customers are given milk twen-
ty-four hours old. The greater portion or
the milk delivered by contracting firms IS
from twenty-four to thirty-six hours Old;
a portion of the milk supply of one large
firm is forty-eight, hours old. Another
large concern supplies milk to 10 per cent.
Of its stores and restaurants which IS
from forty-eight to sixty hours old. MIX
of forty-eight TO sixty hours old, TO De OF
good quality, must have been produced
