MAJOR FAUTNLEROY
No Drawer Man or More Gallant Sol
der Served the Cause Of the Confed-
eracy"

Vernon News: Many of the readers
of the News enjoyed the acquaintance
of Rev. I. K. Fauntleroy, now deceased
They knew him only as a preacher
There was another side to his character
with which only a few were familiar
No braved man or more gallant soldier
acy. M. B. Hilliard, correspondent of
the Times-Democrat, i'll writing from
Campt, Natchitoches parish, recounts
this thrilling experience in the career
of Major Fauntleroy. Speaking of the
location OF Campti, Mr.. billiard says:
1t is only a few miles below Grapes
Bluff, also on the Red river, where
Major Fauntleroy gave Admiral Farra-
gut such a hot reception upon his as
cending or descending Red river in the
General Banks expedition during the
civil war. Grapes Bluff was superb
defensive position and on it Major
Fauntleroy in command had fine bat
terry of Napoleon guns.
The bluff was high and close to the
waters edge. The river was narrow. The
river makes very sharp curve here and
Farragut with his feet was behind this
bend and sought to pursue his trip. TO
do SO he must pass for quite distance
within short range and under the
plunging fire of the majors battery. He
bombarded the majors position quite a
time so fercely, he said, that mosquito
could not live in the terrific hail of iron
above his battery. But SO admirably
chosen was the site of the battery that
Soon after the bombardment Admiral
Farragut moved out swiftly with his
fleet from the protecting bend of the
river, but the fire was too hot from
Fauntleroy's battery, and the admiral
quickly retreated to cover. He sought
to capture the battery by manning
number of barges with his marines so
as to storm the battery by landing at the
bluffs and ascending them The slaugh-
ter in this attempt was awful and had
to be abandoned. All day long Farragut
was imprisoned behind the bend and
after night slipped away under the cover
of darkness.
Admiral Farragut later addressed a
letter to Major Fauntleroy. 1t ran thus:
Commodore Farragut's compliments
to Major Fauntleroy, and begs to say
that with my feet and Major Fauntle-
roy's battery we could capture hell.
Major Fauntleroy had very small
number of men with him. In his youth
he was registering blade, desperately
brave and profane, scion of an emf
nent Virginia family For many years
he was minister of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, and has only
lately passed to where there are no con-
flicts.

First Mine Tn Alaska.

In 1882 Russian dog mail on it's way from the interior to Sitka dis covered traces of gold on the Anauk. An old trading post on the Koskokwim the ruins of which are still to be seen was the headquarters of Russian trade in that district. The Anauk river was known then as the Yellow river and SO appears today on the Russian maps For years this discovery was worked, but the Russians, never good pros peotors at best, abandoned gold mining as soon as the deposits in tho immedi ate vicinity of the original discovery were worked out Why the rich Hunker was abandoned will forever remain a mystery It has been claimed that all along the Russian government had records of the vast gold deposits in the neigbborhood of the Klondike and had that portion of the country been Russian and not British, the United States would never have had the opportunity to purchase Alaska but that must remain a speculation as Russian bureaucracy never gives up it's secrets. One thing alone is certain, that the gold deposits of both Yukon and Alaska were worked half century besore Skookum Jim made his famous discovery on the afternoon of August 16, 1896, and opened up new frontier kingdom for the troopers of the Lost Legion to conquer.

Hearing in the Southern Railway Rate Mitigation is Resumed and Expert Raiiroad Accountants Testify
 for the State.

Raleigh. N. C.. Nov. 2s.-The hearing in the Southern Railway rate litigation was resumed before Master Montgom- cry today. Chief Clerk Brown. of the State Corporation Commission, contin- ned his evidence, going Into details of figures and showing by his calculations that .he Southern Railway has not lost money on it's North Carolina business. nor will tho IA cents State rate prove confiscatory.
 The second witness for the State was W. c. Hiilman of Louisville, Ky, an expert railroad accountant, who has ex- amined the Southern Railways books for the State. His testimony was on a line to show the error and false prom iscs in the calculation of Auditor Plank. of the Southern Railway. who had tes- tified that on all business. 1t cost Il cents to earn a dollar and that on local business 1t lost 15 cents more. MT. Hillman held that the cost Is less than IS cents additional and that this amount should then be compared with the charges for local hauls. which are larger than for interstate business.
 His examination goes to show that IA cents passenger fare per mile will not be eonfiscatory, the point at issue.

FORAKER'S POSITION
HE WILL CONTEST OHIO DELEGA-
 TION WITH TAFT.
In n Letter to an Officer of Ohio Re- publican League. He Accepts
 Endorsement for Presiden- tiRl Candidacy.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Senator J. B. Foraker made it clearly known to- day that he will contest the Ohio dele gation to the Republican National Convention with Mir. Taft.
 This information is contained In letter to Conrad J. Matern. Vice-Pres- ident of the Ohio Republican League, which forwarded MT. Foraker a copy of the resolutions adopted by the Ad- visory and Executive Committee of the League. endorsing MT. Foraker for the Senatorship ID and for the presiden- tiaI nomination. In Senator Forakers letter. made public today, he defends his course in relation to the passage of the railroad rate bill and insist that the necessity of the railroads of the country to spend millions of dollars annually in increasing their facili- ties, makes this a bad time to hamper the roads in any unnecessary way by legislation.
 Senator Foraker says he is gratified bv the endorsement -of the committee al this time because it is flat rebuke to the suggestion that the office of limited States Senator is to be stripped of all the real honor attached to it by making it's incumbent mere agent to register the decrees of somebody else
 Referring to the recent meeting of tbe League which endorsed him for Senator and President. Senator For akr said:
 "It would not be insensible to such q mark of confidence and esteem if could be and could not be if would.
 But l do not want to even appear to be a candidate for two offices at the same time. and. therefore, forego inc double honor proposed. and with heartfelt appreciation, accept the sup port for the presidential candidacy which the committees nave so gener- ously tendered."
