LIKE STROKE OF LIGHTNING
Veteran Soldier Tells How Wound A.
fects Fighter on the Field
Of Battle.

General Miles, in his book, Serving
the Republic" says that, like every
other soldier who has seen much &C
tive service, he Is often asked how 1t
feels to be wounded. He himself was
wounded four times, and twice almost
fatally, SO he is able to speak from
experience. He says: "One is often
asked how it seems to be wounded in
battle. The flight of a bullet is quick
er than thought. and has passed
through flesh wound before one real
ICES that he has been struck have
seen bodies of men dead on the field
of battle where the brain had been
pierced and death had been instanta-
neous. They would remain in every
position of the manual of arms, with
an anxious look. frown or a smile
on their cold and rigid faces. My
wounds received at Fair Oaks. Fred
ericksburg and Petersburg were flesh
wounds, and disabled me but a short
time. While riding down the line at
Charlottesville one of the enemy's
bullets struck my metallic belt plate
with great force. This caused slight
deviation as it entered the body. The
result was an instant deathly sick
ening sensation; my sword dropped
from my right hand, my scabbard and
belt dropped to the left; was COM
pletely paralyzed below the waist. My

Notice to Candidates.

At a meeting held April 8, 1912, the
Democratic committee of Grant parish
passed the following resolution:
On motion of C. w. Williams, Sec
onded by Richard Newton, the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the secretary of this
committee is instructed to insert a no.
tice in the Chronicle for thirty DAYS,
that number of the candidates who
made the largest deposits of money
with the chairman of the parish COM
mittee have signified their willingness
to let whatever balance is due them re-
main in the chairman's hands for use
of the committee, there being need for
such fund, for stationery, postage,
advertising, ETC., and the suggestion is
made that all of the candidates should
donate the committee any balance due
them. The amount is small for any of
the eighty odd candidates who made
deposits, the pro rata for return in
most cases being only few cents for
those who made deposits of $l.OO and
So. 90 with the chairman.
Resolved, That while the primary
election law provides for the return of
unexpended balances to the candidates,
there is nothing to prohibit the COM
mittee from accepting donations for
party campaign purposes; therefore no
tice is given to all candidates that if
they apply to A. A. Dean, chairman,
at Paramount, La, at any time before
May Is, 1912, for any balance that may
be coming to them, the same will be
returned, and that in the absence of
any such request or demand all balances
will be retained by the chairman.
There being no further business the
committee adjourned subject to call.
