MARY OF THE MOUNTAINS
GENTLE MOONSHINER WON'T
STAND FOR REVENUE MEN.
Woe to the Individual Who, Looking
Like an Officer of the Law, Puts
Foot on Her Territory.

woe TO the Individual Who, Looking
Like an Officer of the Law, Puts
Foot on Her Territory.
Beauty the women of old Ken
lucky certainly possess, and if there
are in that state many women like
unto a certain maiden moonshiner
then absolute fearlessness should
also be attributed to Kentucky femi-
nlnlty. Her name is Mary Fouts,
and she is very gentle and nice when
the revenue men are not in her vi
entity, but woe to the Iuckless indi-
yldual who looks like an officer of
the law and who puts foot on her ter
ritory. A few days ago at her still
at Beaver Greek she engaged in a
pitched battle with a whole posse
of revenue men. She fought lone
but winning fight, and when the
smoke of battle lifted the revenue
men were in full retreat down the
mountain, carrying two of their
wounded.
1t was the second battle the girl
mOOnshiner had fought in two weeks
against the representatives of the
government that denies it's citizens
the right to operate whisky stills
without a license, which is beyond
the understanding of the simple
mountain folk.
In the battle of two weeks ago
h.
men and mOrtally wounded Deputy
Marshall Day
The revenue officers made extra
ordinary preparations for the last at
tack, but they did not catch Miss
Fouts mapping.
She had stocked her mountain
fortress with guns of the latest mod
ell, magazine rifles with a shell in
every chamber and food and ammu-
milton enough to enable her to with
stand siege of months.
Miss Fouts was the first to sight
the foe. Luckily she climbed to a
great rock jutting out from the
mountain side, her slim, swaying
against the sky. United States Dep
uty Collector Mays, who led the
posse, called upon the gentle Mary
to surrender A long, low southern
laugh fell on his ears-a laugh so
sweet, so confiding and tender that
the deputy collector came a bit near
er the rock and just lodged a bullet
| from Mary's trusty rife. With much
speed and very little dignity the rev.
enue men backed away from the
damsel and through the bushes they
watched the sunlight fall in little
fiecks on her gentle face as, with true
maidenliness, she proceeded to load
stack of guns. The hardened men,
quite overcome with such a display
of womanly tranquility and serenity,
once more drew near the mountain
lassie, this time giving notice of their
|approach with a rain of bullets.
Mary FOunts merely stepped behind
a boulder and let them fire away,
in the meantime getting in few ac-
curate and precise shots on her own
account. AS fast as one rifle was
tempted she seized another and
brought it to her shoulder.
Henry D. Yates, deputy marshall
received a wound which may prove
fatal Another of the officers was
hit in two places. His condition is
not so serious.
Realizing that it would be useless
to attempt to storm the girls
stronghold in the face of her de-
termined fire the posse picked up
their wounded and retreated.
The battle had lasted a scant 80
minutes.

DISTRESSING IN CAROLINA.
Destruction by Flood on Many Plan
tations Was Total.

Advices from the South Carolina
rice districts are of a most gloomy
character. The floods in the half
dozen rivers that center about
Georgetown have destroyed 60 to IS
per cent. of the crops. On some of
the large plantations the destruction
has been total and not even seed will
be saved There seems to be just
one way of insuring the rice crops
in the river bottoms, and that is by
an improved system of dykes and
trunks. Most of the plantations
have banks that are sufficient for
ordinary water stages, but whenever
freshet comes along the damage
is great and widespread.

AN EXCEPTIONAL PREACHER.
Declined to Accept an Increase in
His Salary.

An exceptional preacher is the
Rev. Irving H. Berg, pastor Of the
Reformed church at Catskill, N. Y.
His congregation the other day vol
UNFAIRLY increased his salary from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year. When he
learned of this action Mr.. Berg called
a meeting of the church officers and
requested them to reconsider the
matter He said he did not need the
extra $500 a year, and that it could
be used in other ways to better ad-
vantage. The church officers looked
at Mr.. Berg in establishment, and
voted to postpone consideration OF
the question for three months.
