CAREER OF LATE
JAS. R. RANDALL
AUTHOR OF MARYLAND, MY
MARYL AND, BEGAN LIFE AS
A SCHOOL TEACHER.

Jemes r. Randall, author of MARY
land, MY Maryland" one of the mos
noted war songs of the South, died il
Augusta. Ca. on the 14th inst. He
was a native of Baltimore and was
sixty-nine years old. At the outbreah
of the war he was teaching school In
Louisiana, and as it progressed he be
came greatly wrought up, his feelings
eliminating in the composition Of the
song as an inspiration. One night
says the Curier Journal, he was unable
to sleep, thinking of the
Northern troups coming South
and through Baltimore. Ris-
ing from his bed he wrote the
poem at sitting. 1t was set to music
of martial air well adapted to its
stately verse, and during the war was
one of the favorite and most inspiring
songs of the South. 1t was not as
universally sung as Dixie, but their
was depth OF feeling and loftiness Of
sentiment which was equaled by no
other composition Of the period.
Since the war Mr. Randall had pur-
sued the profession of journalist,
having, among other papers, been con
nected with the Augusta, Ga, Chron-
icle for nearly twenty years. In add
tion to the lyric by which his name Is
best known, he was the author of
of othe popular songs, among
which are THE Old Sentry" and
There Is Life in the Old Land Yet
During the past summer he visited
Baltimore after along absence and
was the recipient of very distinguished
recognition, being feted at jamestown
on Baltimore day, when Senator
Whyte read Maryland, My Mary
landv and it's author received very
fiattering ovation from the large au-
dience. The poem was written in
April, 1861, just after conflict in the
streets, caused by the marching OF
Northern troops on their way to Wash
ington the first verse abiding to the
incident:
The despot's heel is on thy shore,
Maryland!
His torch is on thy temple door,
Maryland!
Avenge the patriotic gore
That fiecked the streets of Baltimore,
And be the battle queen of yore.
Maryland, My Maryland!

MANY TURKEYS
STILL In COUNTY
SHIPMENTS OF FOWLS DURING
PAST WEEK HAVE BEEN
VERY HEAVY.

The local poultry dealers were
greatly surprised this week at the
quantity of live turkeys that were
still in the county. The price up to
the first of the week had been eight
cents and there were very few being
offered for sale, as the farmers would
not sell at that price, and 1t was sup
posed by the dealers that the supply
was about exhausted, but when the
price advanced to ten cents per pound,
there was no end OF turkeys. Up to
noon today $4,000 pounds had been
dressed and prepared for shipment to
New York by viii Barker, zesides
the other shippers had shipped sew
eral thousand pounds Of live turkeys
to the eastern markets. II the wealth
err holds good until the middle Of next
week there will be only stock turkeys
left in the county. but If 1t turns of
too warm and the price goes down,
the farmers will hold them as they
claim they can better AFFORD to hold
and feed and wait for better market
than they can AFFORD to sell at such
low prices an has been offered up 20
new.

VEIL OF MYSTERY
AROUND WOMAN
WHO FIRED SHOT AT ATTORNEY
IN CHICAGO.-PLACE
IN JAIL.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-Mrs. Thomas
Metcalf, who fred several shots at
Samuel R. Hamill, an attorney, OF
Terre Haute, Ind, and one the
counsel for John r. Walsh, in the
corridors of the Federal building here
Yesterday managed today to pre-
serve the veil of mystery in which
she wrapped herself Immediately
following the incident. She was
brought before United States Com
missioner this afternoon, waived ex-
animation and was held to the Fed
eral grand jury in bonds of $1,000.
Inability to furnish this bail resulted
in her being taken to the county jail
No friend of the woman appeared
when she was arraigned and no one
visited her in the Jail until late In the
afternoon, when a woman who gave
the name Frances Rush" was admit
ted to Mrs Metcalf's cell despite the
fact that it was after visiting hours.
The two held long conversation,
but refused to discuss ii afterward.
The visitors real name Is said to be
Lillian Gray, but her identity is prac-
tically secret.
Mrs. Metcalf only added to the puz-
zle by asserting that her real name is
Mrs Beatrice Thomas. However,
Mr. Hamill and several of his friends
knew her as Mrs. Metcalf. The wo-
man refused TO make statement,
but Mr.. Hamill gave out several dur
ing the day, in which he declared that
the trouble had arisen over a belief
of Mrs Metcalf that he had failed
to prosecute claim against
a certain estate in st. Louis, which
claim. Hamill asserts,h investigated
and found to be worthless. He as
serted that the woman is more or less
insane and said that she had previous
" threatened his life.
Several Chicago attorneys said that
he woman had consulted with them
the st. Louis claim.

HOT CONTEST ENDS
AT KNOXVILLE
FIGHT BETWEEN PERFORMERS
AND DEMOCRATS WILL BE
DECIDED TODAY.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Jan. Imam
moth rallies were held tonight by
both the Democrats and Citizens Re
form parties, which brought TO close
one OF the fercest municipal cam
paigns ever fought in Knoxville. To
morrow the election occurs, and it is
expected II the weather is favorable,
that between $500 and 5000 ballots
will go into the boxes. The Demo
Gratis confidently expect to elect their
entire ticket. and the reform forces
are equally sanguine.
The campaign has been marked by
the bitterest Of personalities. Demo
cratic orators have openly attacked
ministers of the gospel who were lead
ers in the reform movement, charging
that they we're using the church as
stalking horse, and that the only idea
of the reform leaders was to connect
with the city ofilces. The Democrats
have maintained all along that the
whisky fight has no part in this cam
paign. On the other hand, the re-
formers have charged that, II they do
not win, the good results of the wet
and dry election will be knocked In
the head.

ELEVATOR BURNS
AT GALLATIN

GALLATIN, Tenn, Jan. 19.-The
Payne elevator, located west Of town
and near the Louisville & Nashville
railroad tracks, was burned this morn
ing shortly after mignight. The nre,
the origin of which is unknown, was
discovered in the top Of the building.
The fire department responded
promptly, but because of the height
of the building, was unable to check
the flames. Facts relative to the con-
tents and amount of insurance can
not be obtained today, but it is ru-
mored that about 10000 bushels of
wheat were burned, and that the loss
is probably covered by insurance.
The building, which was large one.
was the property of the Payne-Gard-
ner Company, consisting Of Lewis B.
Payne, Of Gallatin e. s. Gardner, OF
Avondale, and others.

FRENCH AND MOORE HAVE 4
FIERCE TEN HOUR ENGAGE
MENT NEAR sETTAT.
MOSLEMS ARE BADLY DEFEATED
Showed Great Calamity, But Lost
Heavily in Killed And
Wounded.

TANGIER. Jan. 16.-NeWs has
reached here OF a terrific ten-hOur en-
gagement in a ravine near Settat yes
terday between French column un-
der the command of Gen. D'Amade,
and a column commanded by Mulai
Rachid. one OF the chiefs OF Mulai
Hafid's forces. The French gained a
splendid victory in the face OF heavy
odds, succeeding in dispensing the en-
envy and OCCUPYING Settat. Twenty or
the French soldiers were wounded,
but many of the Arabs were killed.
The latter not only offered logged
and fearless defense, but returned re-
peatedly to the battlefield after they
had been routed and attacked by the
French from three sides.
In the latter hours of the lighting
Mulai Rachids columns were sudden
ly reinforced by the powerful ChaouIa
tribe, which figured in the massacres
at Casa Blanca, and which had arrived
from the mountains at the very mo-
ment when Mulai Rachid was about to
retreat
Under the combined charge Of the
now confident Moors the French not
only held their ground but steadily
threw back the enemy, driving them
eventually in mad haste TO the hills.
The engagement followed immed-
lately upon a twenty-five hour march
of Gen. DAmade's column, and under
these trying circumstances the French
forces are considered to have shown
more than ordinary stamina and brav-
cry. The French wounded include
three officers.
After destroying the camps OF the
enemy at Settat Gen. D'Amade
pushed forward and occupied Kasbah

ALL SHIPMENTS MUST BE TAKEN

Route Carriers Have No

WASHINGTON. Jan 17-Seeont
Assistant Postmaster General Nc
Cleary upholds Congressman Sims, q
Tennessee, in his contention that IN
less that section OF the Penal Code ~
lating TO the postal service was
amended il would be mandatory upoa
the Postmaster General TO prescribe
rules and regulations whereby carriers
ON star routes would deliver intoxL
eating liquors.
When the House was considering
the pending bill relating to the re
vision of the Penal Code, Mr.. Sims
urged that Section 21S. as reported,
would make it mandatory to deliver
intoxicating liquors through the mails,
pointing out that in Section 1878 Of
the existing law liquids are classified
as non-mailable matter, while In the
the proposed bill specifying non-mail
able matter the words, "all liquors.
had been omitted. Mr.. Sims showed
also that under another provision OF
the bill as reported from Judiciary
Committee 1t was made mandatory on
the Postmaster General to receive In
toxicating liquors under such rules
and regulations as he shall" pre-
scribe, the word shall" having been
for may" in the existing
laws.
The Second Assistant Postmaster
stated to Mr.. Sims tonight
that unless the law was amended 10
he had suggested, intoxicating liquors
would have to be delivered by star
route carriers, as the Postofice De
partment would be without discretion
to act otherwise.

HE WANTS A JONAH"

''For Removal writing in the

that the Telegraph does not take
to his proposition of a high school
in the court house building at

OF getting that jonah at Hope. He
holds himself out as a friend to

jonah be moved. But how about
the balance of the county. "For

to do his duty and work for the
