i've just begun to fight
 Then active, brave and skit- tish. he sprung his battle calls and soaked the blooming Brit ish with big, fat cannon halls. In his poor old leakey kettle. with torn, bedraggled sails, he shot them full of metal. old junk and rusty nails. He heard the foeman shouting. outgen- eraled and outtricked. "Cut out your dog gone shooting, We know when we are licked . And so the foe surrendered like brave men without moans: the captain sadly rendered his cleaver to Paul Jones. "That grim encounters story" he said, ''i> hard to beat; you pull ed out gobs of glory, and pull ed it from defeat"
 We can't all be commanders lof stately ships of war. that float like swans or ganders, from Greece to Labrador. Nc can't all shine in battle. or toil with lethal tools for some must herd the cattle and some must whack the mules. We can't all save the nation or hit the scrol of fame, but we, whate CT our station. can show that We are game. When troubles have us sweating, we'll heave no signs or groans, we'll waste no time in fretting. but think of J. P Jones. We'll quail at no dis aster. but cry. as i'll delight: Bring on your troubles faster, we've just begun to fight"

The British guns had thunder ed and shot his poor old boat until the Britons wondered that it was still afloat. So. tired of blood and slaughter, upon that briny field. they hailed him o'er the water. and called on him to yield.
 The naughty summons found him upon his splintered deck, with dead men all around him. a scene of woe and wreck. But never a shrinking glance or sigh betrayed his plight, he sent them back the answer:

THE MINES's ATTITUDE

The political campaign is at hand. and already The Miner is in receipt of boost article af- ter boost" article from this or that source seeking to aid some prospective candidate or faction in the coming political campaign. Thus far. We have consigned them to the waste basket. and will continue to do so unless they come in as reg ular paid advertisements. The Miners editor. personally, i> T Republican. but his own poli- tical leaningS will have no bear ing on the policy of the paper. All parties will be treated alike and no preference shown. but they must pay for what they get, and the space for which they pay will be marked ad vertising. This paper does not think it a square deal to it's readers for a paper in small community like ketchikan with but one paper. for that paper to violently espouse either cause to the shutting out of the oppo- sition. and it will govern itself accordingly in he forthcoming campaign for the Delegate to Congress.

 Much heed is always paid the prospector. because much is al- ways expected of him. The say ing that every mine was once a prospect is never forgotten by men who understand, and the class which is given to finding the beginnings of mines, has the respect and prayers of all who are dependent on mines or mining for a livelihood. There is something about the we'll being of prospector which all most suggests the honor Of women: it requires a mean dis position to besmirch it.-The Mining Science.

Slaughter Dies In
Hospital as Wife
Is Brought in Sick

MACON, Ca. Sept. aust fifteen min
utes after his wife had been lifted from
an ambulance to cot beside him in
the city hospital, in critical condition
with typhoid fever. J. c. Slaughter her
husband, who had been a fever patient
at the hospital for four weeks, peaceful
" passed away, without either Of the
couple ever recognizing one another. The
two cases were the saddest handled by
the hospital doctors this year, and so
appealed to the sympathy of several Of
the nurses that they wept even as though
the deceased husband and sick wife We're
their own relatives.
The body was carefully rolled from
the bedside OF the wife to the morgue,
where it was delivered to local undertake
ers. The deceased was an ex-fireman for
the city and well known here. He leaves
his widow, who is not expected to sur
vive, one little daughter and one brother,
c. H. Slaughter. of this city.
The body will probably be inferred this
afternoon in Riverside. cemetery. The
sick wife Is being carefully attended be-
side the empty cot of her husband, en-
tirely ignorant OF the fact of his death.
The little daughter is being treated now
to prevent her probable illness with the
same malady that has stricken the en-
tire family except her.

SOUTHERN WRECK NOT
DUE TO FAULTY TRACK
Especial Dispatch to The Journal1

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
MACON. Ga. Sept. THE railroad
crew who had charge of clearing the
main line of the Southern railroad where
the wreck occurred Thursday afternoon,
near Holton, have stated that the wreck
occurred through no fault of the track
conditions, but because Of the sudden
lock of the wheels when the engineer
applied the emergency brakes. Another
cause of the wreck was the high rate of
speed the train is said to have been
proceeding when it entered the slight
curve.
Fireman James Burden, of Atlanta,
who was the most seriously injured of
any of the crew or passengers, will not
remain at the hospital here more than
week, according to the doctors at
tending him. No bones have been found
to be broken, although his wrist and
left leg are both sprained. His most
painful injuries consist of cuts about
the head, sustained when he leaped from
the rapid moving engine. All those who
suffered any injuries whatever and went
to the hospital for treatment have left
the institution.
The Inflated engine, No. 1900, and the
wrecked tender and combination car
have been hauled to the local shops
here for repairs. The engine will under
go many repairs, and several months
will be required to place her back into
running order,

TWO FULL REGIMENTS
ORDERED TO MEXICO
Try associated Frsss.J

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Two devel-
opments in the Mexican situation today
led observers of that situation to re-
gard conditions as grave, President Taft
ordered two full regiments of cavalry
to the border line and the Madero gov
eminent contemplated asking permission
Of the United States to II ansport its
loyal troops through Texas and New
Mexico to attack the scattered bands of
marauding rebels sallying across the
line and attacking American ranches and
stealing cattle.
After Maj Gen. Leonard Wood chief
OF staff of the army, had talked over
the telephone with President Taft at
Beverly, the Thirteenth cavalry from
Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming, and the
Ninth cavalry from Fort Riley, Kansas,
were put under rush orders to join the
border patrol.
NOT TO CROsy BORDER.
The president made it plain that UNI
der no circumstances we're the troops to
cross the line and that he still regarded
Intervention as an act of the very last
resort.
In addition to the two regiments,
Troop c, of the Third cavalry, was or
dered to the neighborhood of last nights
skirmish on the Victoria ranch and
Troop B. Fourth cavalry, was ordered
from Fort Huachuca to Arivaca, Arizona,
to strengthen the border patrol there.
The president authorized the export of
five hundred rifles and one hundred and
fifty thousand rounds of ammunition to
the beleaguered Americans in the Canaea
district. I'+
The United States probably would
permit the Madero government TO send
troops through Texas and New Mexico
into northern Chihuahua. Inasmuch as
the state department has demanded that
Mexico send federal troops into north
ern Mexico to protect Americans, ii is
assumed the United States will cooper
ate with MaderO in an effort to do so.
The Mexican congress, however, must
first authorize the sending of troops out
of its country. This was done in the
Madero rebellion.

R0CKMART AGENT
Is GIVEN TWO YEARS

NJ NJ. Bowling. the railway agent at
Rockmart, who dropped out Of sight last
fall and was found in Los Angeles with
$50 OF the Seaboard Air Lines money,
was sentenced at Cedartown Thursday
to two years in the state penitentiary.
The sentencing judge dealt with him
lightly because OF his voluntary return
from California. When Downing was
found after weeks of searching, he not
only agreed to return without the neces-
sity of requisition hut he came alone
with no officers to guard him.
Because OF this fact his attorneys en-
deavored to have his offense consid-
cred as a nisdemeanor instead of a fell
ony and made every effort to have his
punishment reduced 20 fine or TO jail
Imprisonment. But the trial judge held
that Bowling had been guilty of a fell
ony.
His arrest was brought about by the
National Surety company, by which he
had been bonded.

WAYCROSS, Ga, Sept. Thirteen
as a number for a store is undesirable
in Waycross. according to a petition
filed with city council and which result
ed in the changing Of few numbers in
a business block to give thirteen the
high ball
1t seems that the store was never
very attractive as a renting proposition,
because of the figures "13," which were
tackled over the door. This was the
regular number assigned to the store
in carrying out the city system of
numbering, but the owners of the prop
erty did not like it and asked for re-
lief.
By taking down a number on a store
that happened to have an opening on
another street and was therefore dou-
BILE numbered, the council committee
handling the matter managed to do
away with thirteen. And Immediately
thereafter the owners found their store
in great demand
