1t must have been 10 o'clock. and.
Il I had slept at all, Twas scarcely
conscious Of It. All about me the men
lay outstretched upon the ground, still
In their s~hirt-sleeves, as they had
fought, their guns beside them. The
night was clear and hot, scarcely a
breath Of air moving. Here and there
against the skyline passed the dark
silhouette Of a sentinel. There was no
sound Of firing only an occasional
football to break the silence OF the
night. The wounded had been taken
to the field hospitals at the rear;
down IN our front lay the bodies OF
the dead, and among these shone the
dim lights Of lanterns where the last
searching parties we're yet busy at
their grewsome task. l was weary
enough to sleep. every mus lie of my
body aching with fatigue, but the eE-
citement of the day, the possibility Of
the morrow, left me restless. l had
received no wound, other than a slight
thrust with a bayonet, yet felt as
though ~pummelled from head to foot.
The victory was ours-the army real
lied this truth clearly enough; we had
repulsed the ~red-Coats, driven them
back with terrible losses; we had seen
rfelr lines shrivel up under our fire,
officers and men falling. and the rem
nant fleeing in disorder. It meant
nothing now that a force outnumber-
ing US yet remained intact. and in
strong position. Flushed with victory,

we were racing backward, firing as we
ran. and stumbling over dead bodies.
Maxwell rallied us beyond the
causeway, swearing manfully as he
drove us into position behind a low
stone wall. Again and again they
charged US. the artillery fire shatter-
ing the wall into fragments. Twice
we came to bayonets and dubbed
guns, battling hand to hand. and
Wayne was forced so far back upon
tho left, that we were driven into the
edge Of the wood for protection. But
there We held, out front a blaze Of
fire. 1t seemed to me the horror Of
that struggle would never end. Such
heat. such thirst. the black powder
smoke in our nostrils, the dead under
foot. the cries Of the wounded, the
incessant roar of the guns. Again and
again 1t was hand to hand; l could
scarcely tell who faced us, so fierce

It was not in flesh and blood to stand;
we cut the center Ike a wedge, and
drove them pell-mell to where Lee
had been in the morning. Here they
rallied, fanked by thick woods and
increases. Too exhausted to follow,

ground.

FROM THE EDITOR
He Forgot THAI He Had a stomach.

Talking Of food, there is probably no
professional man subjected to a greater.
more wearing mental strain than the re-
spOusible editor of a modern newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties constantly
in good working order, the editor must
keep his physical powers up to the highest
rate of efficiency. Nothing will so quickly
upset the whole system as badly selected
food and a disordere stomach. 1t therefore
follows that he should have right food.

SURETY COMPANY
 LOSER; MUST PAY 5 upreme 6 Court AHirns Judge of Circuit Court in
 Capitol Litigation. ON A SUB CONTRACT Claim Made That Contract Was Not
 Kept as Agreed With Contractors.
ON A SUB CONTRACT

Little Rock Oct. 2O.-Another piece of litigation arising out of the con- struetlon of Arkansas new 5000 ,OOC ate Capitol was settled Monday morning with the handing down of an opln on by the Supreme Court in the ease of the Bankers Surety Company Vs. William Miller & Sons Company whereby $2G,000 judgment given in he .'ulaski Circuit Court in favor ot tae Miller Company was affirmed.
 lhls case grew out of a contract in the sum of S50,000 for the fin shine of certain interior portions of the new stae building. The Miller company made a subcontraet with Eastman & JGhnstone Manufacturing Company of St. Louis for this amount to furnish all ma erial for plastering and mental furr,ng.
 Upon application of the contractor appellant, foreign corporation engag- ed i'll making surety bonds, execut- ed to appellee q bond in the sum of s29,ooo conditioned that said subcon- tractor should faithfully perform it's sa contract wi h appellee.
 The subcontractor failed to comply with it's contract, according to the record and appellee was compelled to furnish material and do the work un- dertaken, thereby sustaining damages, 1t was claimed, in excess of the amount of said bond on account of the cost of completing the work. The main contention of the defendant n the action was that the subcontractor had entered at the instigasion and up- on agreement of the plaintiff into a contract with one w. H. Harris for the supervision of the clustering work. The record states that as Har- ris vas unable to furn sh bond this under, aking rendered the subcon- tract between Eas man & Johnstone company void. Each side in the lower court trial requeste dthe court to ren- der the verdict in it's favor and to so instruc, the jury. The verdict was re. urned for the plaintiff.

Other Suits Pending Strengthened Ky Judgment in Initial
 Proceeding.

c. C Handley, the well known cot ton man of this city, was yesterday afternoon given q judgment bN $ jury in the circuit court against June s. Ingram and Jeff Hicks, trust of ticers of the defun2t Pine Bluff Trust Companq, for $5,91S.15-Walch repre- scnts premium stock purchased by the plaintiff in the bank and interest from the date of purchase. The jury was out about an hour and thirty minutes. The verdict carried with it the exact amount sued for. The plaintiff was represented by Attorneys Coleman and Gantt and the defend- ants by Attorneys Danaher and Dana her and Judge N. E. Hemingway, of Little Rock.
 The judgment in the Handley case practically decides similar suits that are pending in the circuit court against the defendants and which in- wolves about $S,000. The suits were brought by F. NJ. Roane, C. NJ. Phil pot, Mrs. D. H. Duncan and C. A Ringler.
 In the suit IIandley, who purchased 64 shares at $1.22 and later bought 96 shares of stock at $1.26 it was charged that the defendants signed fraudulent annual statements of the bank and had them published and that in purchasing the stock the plaintiff relied entirely upon the truthfulness of the statements. The exact amount paid for the stock by the plaintiff was $4,972, but the interest brought the sum up to nearly $6,0O0.
