AN AccouSr OF THE FIGHT or BAY
LoR's COMPANY AT CHARLES Town.
NovRMBER q. 1884.
By Captain George Baylor.

By Captain George Baylor.
onlthe night Of the 20th Of November,
1864, with 80 men Of Company 3, we
attacked the camp Of the Twelfth
Pennsylvania Cavalry at Charles Town.
Passing through the enemy's picket
line, through hollow just east Of town,
under cover Of q fog such 81 usually
hangs on autumn nights over the little
valleys near the river and pnohseryed
BY the sentry on the adjacant hills. We
sreached in safety the north side Of the
town and the. rear Of the enemy's
camp, and rode quietly TO point near
the block house, about twenty yards
from the camp Here the men DIS
mounted, leaving the horses il charge
of the fourth man in each file of tours;
and noiselessly gained the block house.
Steadily moving ON, the sleeping
camp was entered, and the occupants
aWolss TO And themselves pfisonsra-
There was sudden confnsioa and saalnr
pering among the enemy. Some tweu-
~ Of their number, lodged in a stone
shousd nearby, opened Gro ON us. Re-
ognizing the gravity Of the situation,
We rushed upon the house, and, seizing
the doors and windows, poured several
volleys into the building. just as
George Grayton, my brother Robert
w. Baylor, Jr. IA boy Of seventeen)
and myself entered the door, several
shots we're fred by the inmates, one
MORALLY injuring my brother and
another severely injuring Crayton.
After few minutes the cry Of surren-
der came from the group huddled to-
gether in the building: and the firing
ceased. My brother and Crayton were
removed to the house Of DR.. Mason,
who had been for years our family
physician, and where / knew they
would be well cared for My brother
died in few hours, but Crayton rallied
for ! while and died soon after the
close of the war. The loss Of those
two gallant soldiers was deeply deplor-
ed by their comrades, and especially by
myself. In this engagement we killed
and wounded II of the enemy, captured
"a prisoners and 81 horses and equip
ments.
II seems little strange In the light
of recent publication Of the War
Records that success attended Us in
this attack, for we find thatas early as
November 2Sd, the day after the at
tack at Reyes Ford. General Sheridan
dispatched General Stevenson at Har-
Peers Ferry as follows:
KERNsTowN, Va, NOVEMBER q, 1864.
General: It is reported that Major
Congdon, Of the Twelfth Pennsylyania
Cavalry, reports the enemy in fOss
at or near Charles IoWn. Find out If
he has made this qntrqthfvl report. #
the z Welfth Pennsylvania Cavalry can.
NOT keep that country clear Of guerillas.
I viii take the shoulder strapa of every
officer belonging "a the regiment and
disnount the regiment in disgrace.

Mania for Palaces.

The discovery of an intruder at Marlborough House, in London, is reminiscent of the adventures of the boy Jones" in the early years of Queen Victorias reign. In December, 1S40, he gained access to Buckingham pal ace and secreted himself there for several days. He was detected by the princess royals nurse and handed over to the police.
 The privy council examined him, but did not think there was any cause for alarm, and he was sentenced to three months Imprisonment as a rogue and vagabond. But no sooner was he at liberty than he made two other attempts to enter the palace. On the last occasion the magistrate gave him the chance of eNlisting in the navy, where he was speedily cured of his mania for acquiring royal domi- cile.

BATTLE OVER DARR0W JUROR
Substitution of Another to Relieve Sick Man Is StrenuousIy Op-
 posed by Defense.

Los Angeles, July 26.-The contro- versy over the continued serving of Juror Leavitt in the Darrow trial was renewed in court at the morning ses- sion. The defense urged alleged preju- dice on the part of Leavitt against Darrow, and also sought to have him excused from further service on the ground that his repeated illness has interfered with the progress of the case.
 The prosecution argued against the substitution of A. M.s Blakely, the thir- teenth juror, claiming the law provid- ing for an alternate juror does not permit the alternate to become regular juror except upon the death or incapacitating illness of the juror.
 District Attorney Fredericks stated that he thought the trial would be finished inside of two weeks.

Regulation

We have often wondered why the men who are 1 W ay $, and have been so lon g clamoring for the regulation of the liquor traffic, don't get it regulated. We wonder if they don't wonder why, too.
 Well, we don't believe it would take them long to learn why if they were only open to convic- tion.
 In fact it cannot be regulated, |, Why: Just because it is the na- ture of alcohol to unbalance men's minds leading to their spiritual degeneration and to the commitment of crimes.
 You cannot regulate the nature of "a thing out of a thing. Fifty years ago alcohol was supposed to be a food. Then we began to try to regulate it; but in the light ot modern science alcohol has been found to be a poison aud a poison only. So we can no more regulate the poison out of the al- cohol and make it safe to be sold as a beverage than you could re gulate the stale quality out of an egg and make it lit for t h e consumer So the only course topuraue is prohibition. and the way to reach that course is to elect men to office who will ad- minister the law when it is made.
 Thereme three general classes ol poioons. The narcotics, which affect the nerves; the irri- tants which affect the mem 0raneN and tissues. and the mar. couc'lrrltants which do both.
 Alcohol belongs to the latter 'aSs andis in the same list as Vocalne' chloral, morphine and oplom' Then what: Treat it socially and legislatiyely as we treat the drug narcotics with when It Is classed. Prohibit it's 'D0lScrlminate and beverage use.

Don't smatter a pint of brains oyer the vast field of art, science and literature. Don't think that a smattering of Greek and Latin Analytics and college wells make one learned man or fits him for business, and don't hitch a busi. ness brain to a Greek lexicon.
 Many man becomes nothing by trying to become all. The shot gun uses much more ammu- hilton than the rifle but it isn t half as effective except on little game.
 The professions are all over crowded; it requires half a life time for one to succeed in them, and half fortune to begin suc- cess. With business it is not SO'
 Get busy; do things; life's too short for business men to spend effort on dead languages and other things two thousand years old, when living issues and gold en opportunities are calling them on.
 The things that business men want you to know are not taught in a university. They must be learned in a practical business training school like the Tyler Commercial College of Tyler, Texas. A school that has for years studied the demands of the business world with its own special prepared text books and "learn to do by doing" meth. ods of teaching are meeting them.
 They are this year adding a course of business administra- tion and finance for those who desire the most thorough busi. ness training possible. Young friends there is no walk of life that you can pursue as success fully without business training as with it.
 Next week this paper will pub fish statements from many of America's greatest statesmen and business men as to the val ue of a business training
