BOOZE VETS STREET
 AT RUSSELLVI
SHERIFF DESTROYS CONTRA BAND LIQUOR BEFORE
 THIRSTY CROWD.

In the presence of curious crowd about 100 strong, Sheriff J. w. Dan. ley destroyed a quantity of contra band wet goods in front of the court house Thursday morning. Taking the bottles by the neck, he tapped them on the curb stone and allowed the con- tents to trickle down the gutter, send ng forth an odor which caused some of the bystanders to smack their ips longingly. Divers and various com ments were offered by those standing around the scene of destruction, some of the light remarks doubtless being made as bluff to hide the deeper feeling of emotion at the fragrant waste of good booze-if any booze can be said to be good booze. That depends, of course, upon the interpre- tation of the adjective good" And we are of the opinion that according to Webster even the highest quality of booze could hardly be classed as good"
 The liquor thus destroyed was the cargo brought in from Fort Smith some three weeks ago by Ted Martin and Bud Emerton. Martin was ac quilted when tried on a charge of bootlegging, but Emerton received a fine of $100. The $1O0 fine and emp ty suitcases which were returned them this morning is the only salvage from the wreck-Russellville Cou- rier- Democrat.

 SIDER RELIEF FOR HOT { SPRINGS SUFFERERS.

Little Rock, Sept. S.-At a mass meeting of Little Rock citizens held at the city hall Sunday afternoon for the purpose of taking action to- ward the relief of the fire sufferers in Hot Springs, there were about 75 of the representative business men of the city present.

GOOD ROADS, DAYS MAY
 BE ANNUAL OCCURRENCE

Little Rock, Sept. 5.-The good roads days, called by Governor Hays, have proven so eminently successful that it is probable they will become an annual institution in the state. That is the suggestion that has been made by R. G. Dye, state highway commissioner, who says:
 ''The reports coming into this de- partment thoroughly indicate that the interest over the state generally was intense, and that there were very few localities which failed to work the roads. The organization of the forces, while not complete, handled the work with wonderful effectiveness. 1 esti- mate that 2,000 miles of road was worked in the state. It should be made an annual event, and in that way we can keep alive a practical good roads spirit"
 Assistant Highway Commissioner High returned Thursday from Mena, having spent three days in going over Polk county with County Judge w. l N. Martin, organizing forces and making helpful suggestions. Last night he left for Brinkley to assist in the survey of the new DeValPs- Brinkley road, which has already been worked the greater part of the distance. It is being made ready for the logging party of the Southern National Highway Association, which is expected to pass along there be- tween September 10 and 15.

which has gone into history as ono
OF the most heroic assaults of all

When the third days fighting open

hundreds Of guns belching forth shot
and death from the batteries of both
contending forces. 1t is said that this
was the greatest duel engaged in by
field pieces during the four years of
the war between the states.
The Union guns at one time ceased
firing, and 1t is said that the southern
commander thought they had been
silenced. and then 1t was that Long
streets men made an assault and
Pickett's men made their charge. The
former generals objective was Big
Round Top, but his forces were driv-

In brigade columns and they moved

had no sooner come into effective
range than they were met by such q

land from invasion, condition which
military men say always adds a sub
tie something to the fighting quality
which is In any man. Some authors
ties have said that there were 100000
men in the Confederate forces at Get
tysburg to be confronted by 10000
Union troops. Another authority says
that the Confederate force was $4,000
and the Union force 10000. As 1t was
the armies were pretty nearly equally
divided in strength.
In June, 1868, General Robert q.
Lee began to move northward. Lee
concentrated his army at Winchester,
Va, and then started for the Potomac
river. which he crossed to reach the
state Of Maryland. He fully expected
to be followed by General Hooker's
army and so General Stuart with a
large force Of cavalry was ordered by
Lee to keep in front of Hooker's army
and to check his pursuit Of the Con
federates II 1t was attempted.
Late Nm June the Confederate force
reached Hagerstown. in the state Of
Maryland. 1t was General Lees In
tention to strike Harrisburg, Pa.
which was great railroad center
and city where Union armies were
recruited and from which all kinds Of
supplies were sent out to the soldiers

the morning of July 1. He dispatched
a courier to Meade saying that the
high ground above Gettysburg was
the proper place to meet the enemy.
Not long after this message was sent
to Meade General Reynolds who dis
patched 1t, was killed. He was on
horseback near patch Of woods with
his force confronting large detach-
ment Of Confederate troops which was
coming toward them. These troops of
the enemy we're dispersed by the
Union batteries and Reynolds was
watching the successful solid shot
and shrapnel onset when q bullet
struck him in the head killing him in

General Abner Doubleday succeeded
Reynolds in command of the troops
at that point Of the field. A brigade
Of Confederates, a Mississippi organi-
cation. charged the Union forces,
broke their organisation and succeed

men were recaptured and the Missis-
sippi brigade was driven back. por-

field or near 1t, one Union regiment,

and wounded 337 men out of q total
Of 446 in little more than quarter

General Doubleday fell back to Sem
mary Ridge and extended his line.
The forces employed against him
here were greater than his own, and
after hard fighting Seminary Ridge
was given up. The first days battle
was In effect and in truth victory
for the Southern arms. On the night
of July / General Hancock arrived
and succeeded In rallying the Union
forces and putting new heart into the
men. General Meade on that night
ordered the entire army to Gettys
burg.
Victory Not Followed Up.
For some reason or other perhaps
unknown to this day. what was virtu
ally Confederate victory on the first
of July was not followed up by Gen
eral Lee early on the next morning
General Meade therefore succeeded In
Strengthening his lines and In pre-
pairing for the greater conflict. One

30 OASHINGTON.-It is possi-
~ BILE, some people would say
probable. that the Battle Of
Gettysburg changed utterly
~ the course Of American his
kory. It was great fight between
.rmies of Americans, for probably
FULLY ninety per cent. of the men who
Fought on the two sides were born
natives to the American soil. The
bravery shown at Gettysburg was of
the order which Americans have
shown on every field and which re-
nects credit upon the hardy and
heroic ancestry of the men engaged,
no matter from what race they may
have sprung.
At Gettysburg there was nothing to
choose between the valor Of the North
and the South. The South lost the
nght, but It lost 1t honorably and
with the prestige Of Its soldiery un-
dimmed. The charges made on that
field have gone down into history as
assaults made under conditions which
every man felt might mean death at
the end.T The defenses made at Gettys-
burg were Of the kind which 1t takes
iron in the blood to make perfect. At
Gettysburg Northerners and South
erners replenished their store of re-
spect for their antagonists. The bat
tie marked the high tide Of the war
between the states. After 1t the
South largely was on the defensive,
but Its defense was maintained with
fortitude and in the face Of privations
which could not chill the blood OF
men fighting for what they thought
was the right.
The Northern armies were persis
tent In their attacks through the cam
paigns which after few months were
started aginst the objective point
Richmond. Brave men here and brave
men there, and after the end came II
was the qualities which keep com
pany with bravery which made the
soldiers Of the North and South sc
ready to forget and to forgive and tt
work again for the good Of com
mon country.
