HIGH COURT TO MEET
PULLMAN CASES BEFORE SUPREME
 COURT.
Court Will Meet Tomorrow After . Recess of Two weeks--Third Division Will
 Ha

After a recess of two weeks the Su- preme Court of Alabama will begin to sit again tomorrow for another week. At this session the Court will take up the call of the Third Division. com- posed of the counties of Autauga. But Ter. Conecuh. Escambia. Lowndes and Montgomery.
 In all probability the Supreme Court will meet tomorrow for few minutes only, according to custom, and formal ly adjourn until Tuesday. when the hearing will be we'll under way.
 It Is expected that the Court will hand down a decision in the case Of Al Richter vs. State of Alabama, in- volving the sta tus of the saloon keepers of CuIlman County who have persist ently kept open their saloons since January i, 1908. On the latter date iiquor was voted out of tie county. or rather 1t was on that date that the county's dryness was supposed to have started by the result of an election held on December 9. 1907.
 The question to be decided by the Supreme Court is that of the validity of the 200 and more indictments pro- cured against alleged violators of the prohibition statute passed by the Ala bama Legislature at the extra ses- sion.
 This appeal from Cullman involves also another attack on the prohibition statute which has been once upheld by the Supreme Court, Justice Thos. c. Mcclellan having written the opinion.
 Other decisions of general moment are also expected to be put out this week by the Court.

 . In a six klrmish at Tarrytown, she re- ceived a sabre cut in the temple and four months later she was shot through the shoulder. Soon recover Ing her strength she returned to her duties. but a few weeks later she was stricken with brain fever. During the first few days of her Illness her mind was filled with terrible dread lest she sh ould lose her reason, and reveal her secret to those around her. She was taken to a hospital In Philadelphia and as her case was considered hope- less. less attention was given her than to some other patients. She recovered. however. and pr. Bfrney, the hospital surgeon, to whom she had confessed. took her into his own house. still al- lowing her to appear fin soldiers garb, and acquainting no one with his knowledge.
 3 At length. when the proper time seemed to have come pr. Birney sent her to General Washington with letter briefly explaining the case. How thankful I was to that great and good man. who so kindly spared my feelings" she often said in telling of their meeting. "One word from him at that moment would have crushed me to the earth. But he spoke no word and blessed him for It."
 He merely handed her a discharge accompanied by a letter of advice and a goodiy sum of money. After the war Miss Sampson married Benjamin Gannet. of Sharon. During Washing toms Presidency Mrs. Gannett was fr'- vited to visit the seat of government. and while she was there Congress passed a bill giving her pension and some lands, in recognition of her ser vices. Invitations to the homes of several high in authority bore witness to the esteem in which the woman sol- dier of the Revolution was held. She died in 1927.
 No wonder our children have the spirit of the Fourth of July and agree with Daniel Webster when lie said: "This anniversary animates and glad dens and unites all American hearts On other days of the year we may be party men, indulging in controversies more or less important to the pubic good We may have likes and dis likes and we may maintain our politi- cal differences, often with warm and sometimes with angry feelings. But today we are Americans all; and all nothing but Americans"
