SYMPTOMS OF CONSUMPTION
Yield to Vinol.

The medical profession do not be-
lieve that consumption is inherited,
but a person may inherit a weakness
or tendency to that disease.
A prominent citizen of Evansville,
Ind, writes: Il was i'll for five
months with pulmonary trouble, and
had the best of doctors; had hemorr-
hages and was in a very bad way.
Through the advice of a friend tried
Vinol, and I feel that it saved my
life. 1t is all you recommend it to
be. I believe it is the greatest medi-
cine on earth. I have advised others
to try Vinol, and they have had the
same results" (Name furnished Oh
request)
Vinol soothes and heals the infamed
surfaces and allays the cough. Vinol
creates an appetite, strengthens the
digestive organs and gives the patient
strength to throw off incipient pulmO-
nary diseases.
Try bottle Of Vinol with the un-
derstanding that your money will be
returned if it does not help you.

Others can see it, but they are blind to

have removed therein, but the work of
upholstering is not yet complete. The
work outside, such as grading, finishing
up the automobile road and the many
other drive ways is well advanced; and
when it is considered that this was a
hurculean task, to almost make the
wilderness blossom as the rose, one
must say that Capt. Mcgee has done we'll.
And yet he has not by any means com
pleted the work he has mapped out to do.
On Monday evening 'Citizen's 5 Meet
ing" was held in School Hall to discuss
municipal affairs, and to nominate a tic
ket to be voted for at the coming election
Several names were offered for nomina-
ton, and finally the Rev. DR.. Charles A.
Behringer, NJ. 7. D., was chosen for
mayor. James A. Belts and J. c. Lank
were nominated for councilmen. Antici-
pating this nomination, the Rev. DR..
Behringer, in his paper, the Milton Times,
of last week defined his position-if he
should become mayor-as the whole
shooting match" of mayor and town
council combined. In point of literary
productiveness the editorial is the best
one he has ever written for the Times,
but we think he assumes too much re-
spOnsibility at the outset. The election
will be held on the coming Saturday after
noon; and that will decide the battle. In
the meantime another meeting has been
billed to take place in School Hall to-
uight for the purpose of nominating an
other ticket. d. a. {.

Some Interesting Historical
Details.

n EAR SIR: 1 have received and read with in
~ terest your so-called novel" Bethany"
1t is a good thing, but no novel If you had made
Nellie and your Uncle Ralph marry and live ever
happy after, that might have given one feature
of work of fiction to it,
1T is evidently the history of a family covering
parts OF three generations, and is fine for an old
Georgia family-perhaps, as [ take it, your own:
as the writer claims to have been about the age
you evidently were during the war
Now, as an old soldier serving in Hoods Texas
Brigade, Army Northern Virginia, [ want to call
your attention to one two things that may
have a bad effect, if not explained at least by
foot-note:
First, as to the incident opp. 32O-23) on death
Tor desertlOn. You may be sure no such thing
occurred in fact. Even drum head court mar
tai, much less Generals Walker and Johnston or
Bragg would not have so grossly ignored so
merltorious reasons. There a soldier
shot in General Lees army for deserton, that
ever l heard of, and for three years | was cap
tain commanding Co. A, LIST Texas Regiment.
Lee shot the enemy not his own men.
Second, the incident you record ODD 31S-19)
is so wrong that historical facts refute it.
Sharpsburg, or Antetam, as Yankees say was
fought all on one day. There no dress
parade that day, and when General Lee recrossed
the Potomac (Sept 10, 1862 he filled the stream
with dead Yankees trying to pursue till the river
was blue with bodies. But the incident attaches
to Fredericksburg and the Rappahannock river
that fall and winter Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage in
vented it. The Rappahannock is a deep but mar
row stream and for months the two armies lay
on opposite sides in full sight and hearing of
each other. Pickets often met and conversed,
traded papers, sugar, coffee and tobacco.
| have myself heard the Yankee bands on many
afternoons at dress parade playing-alsO our
own on our side. Now, of course, while Home,
Sweet Home was often PLAYED it did not occur
dramatically as the great preacher framed it
up. He was picturing our home in heaven, and
making the narrow stream like crossing the river
of death in order to reach homes The
national airs of both sides were played "Star
Spangled Banner" and Yankee Doodle" and
"BOnne Blue Flag and Dixie" There is where
this incident occurred and | want to say that if
it had been left to the two armies, and the poll
ticans out-peace would have been made that
winter. All were willing and ready to quit of
the rank and file and fighting men,
You can revise the incident as you have it

GEO T. TODD,
Ex-Capt. Co. "a" list Texas Regiment, Hoods
Brigade.
The incident as to the deserter, pages 800
to 1913, is strictly accurate.
[ had the Details in writing from Captain
Phil. Carol, of Augusta, Ga.
The story was confirmed in writing, by
Major Joseph b. Cumming, member of the
court martial which condemned the soldier to
DEATH
Major Cummings postofice address, like
that of Captain Carroll, is Augusta, Ga.
The name of the soldier who was shot was
Chapman.
For some popularity of hair or COM
plexion he was called "Red" Chapman.
Soon after my book was published, sew
eral letters were written to me, by those who
were personally acquainted with "Red' Chap
man, and who knew of the manner of his
death.
For the information of those who have not
read Bethany" will state that cred" Chap

toned on the Atlantic coast, below Savannah.
He grew tired of idle camp life with the
infantry and transferred himself to the
Western Cavalry, where the fighting was go.
ing on.
While serving actively with this cavalry,
he was recognized by former comrade.
Arrested and tried as a deserter, he was
condemned and shot, under the most painful
circumstances, related in my book.
AS to the other incident-the playing of
"Home, Sweet Home" / followed the story
as related by the late Benjamin III. Hill, and
the late Gen. John B. Gordon.
To say that the Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage
invented it, is to make a heavy draft on ones
creduIity
The incident itself was we'll known and
had been used in oratory by Ben Hill
long before Talmage became the successor Of
Beecher, at the Brooklyn Tabernacle.
1t has always been my understanding that
there WAS a Sabbath Day of rest and slls-
pense, following the battle of Sharpsburg,
and the incidents of the bands happened on
that Sabbath.
Of course, it doesn't much matter where it
happened, the significance being in the in
cIdent itself.
So far as I know, it was first used by Ben
jamin H. Hill at the Delano banquet, in At
lanta, Ga, shortly after the Civil War
1t was IN the course of this speech that
Ben Hill used the phrase that put him down
and out, politically, for ten or fifteen years.
That phrase was: eff ever [ was Demo
crat, [ didn't go to be-"
1t was IN this banquet speech that Ben Hill
first expressed the New South idea which
Henry Grady afterwards elaborated, and
which was the gem of Hills own magnificent
peroration in his reply to Blaine, touching
the Andersonville accusations against the
Southern COnfederacy
OF course it is doubtless true that Captain
Todd heard the bands play on either side of
the Rappahanonck, before the battle of Fred
ercksburg.
After the battle of Fredericksburg, how
