Brown. He is the official representative OF
Georgia at the semtcentennial celebration, and
attended the preliminary meeting of the com
mission last May at Philadelphia.
For months now the Atlanta survivors Of the
famous battle have been on the qui vive in
anticipation of the trip to the old scenes, and
many have been the tales which have gone the
rounds in campfire fashion.
Colonel Mcbride, who commanded the Tenth
Georgia at the battle tells some interesting
tales of the historic conflict
I'VE boys were inhated-yes pulled up--over
our string of victories at Charlottesville and
Fredericksburg and Salem Church" said he, in
speaking Of the matter And we had no fear
whatever of the outcome of the conflict at Get
tysburg. Perhaps that had something TO do
with the result.
'The Tenth Georgia went into the conflict on
the second day of July. / remember the Incl
dent well We were ordered to the front at
Devils Dem It was here that took command
Of the. regiment in the absence of Colonel
Weems, who became ILL.,
We'll we finally got to Little Round Top,
where we charged, but without result, and here
it was that seventeen of my brave men were
killed by a bursting shell. We saw Pickett's
famous charge on July 3, and on the Fourth we
rested-celebrated the great day by being quiet
The retreat began on the night of the Fourth"
Colonel Mcbride tells not tale of war alone,
however. He tells IT a little romance whereby
he won the woman who was to be his lifelong
companion, Miss Fannie Johnson, of JOnesboro,
Ca who is still living The romance began
with the presentation of a flag to the company
in which Colonel Mcbride enlisted This flag
was later COMMUNICATION from bureau
drawer by Kilpatricks raiders, the Colonel says,

The camp comprises an area of 1913 acres on
which stand more than 5000 tents. Field hos
pitfalls, infirmary tents and bakery tents, repre-
senting an expenditure of $26O0O0 have been
erected also. Major James e. Normoyle, of
the United States Army. was designated to pre-
pare the plans for the encampment
This has been no small task, either, to erect
a tented city that will comfortably house about
AZ 600 veterans.

The celebration will add another chapter to
the history of Gettysburg, where the deciding
battle of the Civil War occurred, the place
where Abraham Lincoln delivered his master
piece of English oratory, and the meeting
ground of a huge peace conclave at which those
ties of friendship, broken by four years Of war
united shortly afterward, will be further ce-

Largest Horse Breeder In S. 3. States

Major Samuel Waton's Standard Bred Speed
ers in Ldurels
Major Samuel Walton. of Falls Mills, has
issued booklet scheduling a sale at Roa-
noke on the 26th instant of herd of his
standard bred horses, colts and brood mares.
Major Walton is the propr e.or of two stock
farms, he Walton Stock Farm, Falls Mills,
Va f, and the Edge Hill Stock Farm, Shaws-
vile, Va, from which he will select the
thirty-six head catalogued for this sale
Known to comparatively few yeople is
the fact that Major Walton, combining his
two farms, is the largest horse breeder in the
southeastern states. He has spent manifold
years in the building up of his magnificent
farms and in the acquisition of his superb
line of stock. His proposition involves an
investment of multiplied thousands of dol
lars. Expense has been no bar to his con-
sideration Of breed. He has sought the very
exclusive blood of the country. and in this
concentration of ambition and money, to-
day he proudly completes with the most au-
tocratic dealers of his trade. All through
the years he has been an inveterate stickler
to the development of speed, with the re-
cult that some of the fastest trotters on the
track today have come from the Walton
stock farms. He has uniquely equipped his
domains toward this end The Falls Mills
I farm has ons of the finest race tracks in the
south. AID Mr.. Walton has in his employ
the year round high salaried trainer who
devotes his skill to the>speed schedule with
the result that some of the highest marks of
attainment on the national bnlleiin board
have been reached by speeders whose feet
ness was developed on his farms He has
an elaborate selection of such individuals
and Culture prospects. Get to talking to
Mr. Walton about his magnificent racers
and the first and last word with him is
speed, for the highest notch that money
will raise that word to has been tie goal to
ward which he is forever uniting bis work
and wealth. His success in this effort has
come to him at dear price, but it has been
worth while with him. Horses imported
from European stables have gone down in
ignominous defea, in a number of speed
measurements against his.
Speed is the scale by which he weighs
their value and bis assortment in this phase
is equally as broad. His offerings range all
the way up to $500 per head, bat he turns
out some tieet-footed animals at exception
ally moderste prices.
A point of consideration is that the city
of Bluefield hardly appreciates the fact that
it has situate within about three miles of it

Knights OF PythiaS Home.

In some parts of the State 1t has been
pretty thoroughly published that the
Knights of Pythias of this State have a
movement on foot for the purpose OF
establishing Pythian Home in this
| Domain, and in other parts it has not
received very wide publicity. Never.
theless, 1t is fact that the Grand Lodge
has collected. and has on hand, in cash.
upwards of fifty thousand dollars for
this purpose. and said sum is being aug
mented each year by the earnirgs of
said sum. as well as by an assessment
of fifty cents upon each member.
AT the convention of the Grand Lodge
held in Charleston last August. it was
the sense of that body that steps should
be taken by the Board looking to the
proper location for a Home. and to that
end to solicit free sites or ash bonuses,
or both. therefor. and to report the
result thereof to the next convention
of the Grand Lodge. which will be held
IN Clarksburg next August.
Sometime since the Board of Directors
sent to the lodges. and other persons,
circulars. in which they set forth their
ideas as to of what property should
consist. as follows:
THAT it shsuld be a farm of from
fifty to hundred acres of land, con-
venient to some live, progressive town,
having business future before it; that
this should be located in some good
agricultural section of the State where
the price of living will be cheapest-that
is, reduced to minimum cost. that the
farm should have on it at the time it is
secured. if practicable to obtain such, a
hearing orchard and good, substantial
dwelling house, brick preferred, having
several rooms therein. and shou d be so
located as to give the residents of the
Home the best of public school advant-
a res, and convenient to GO water.
npht and heat supplies"
IF anyone in this vicinity has any
prop osition to make TO The Board of
Directors for said Home, we are inform
ed that the Board would be glad of the
opportunity OF presenting such offer to
thu Grand Lodge for its Consideration
at the Ciarkshurg convention, and any
offers in this connection should be sent
to L V. G Morris. Secretary. Pnlippi,
w. Va. and should be sent as soon as
practicable.

HOW COCA COLA REFREsAEs.

The remarkable success which has
attended the sale of Coca-Cola has been
explained in many different ways. Some
have attributed it to good advertis-
ing" others to efficient management"
others, to its delicious favor" and still
others to the fact that it was the first In
the field of "trade-marked" soft drinks.
In this connection, the opinion of
manufacturing chemist who has analyz-
ed Coca-Cola and studied its history for
many years, will prove interesting. He
attributes the popularity of the drink
in large part to its quality OF refresh
ing both mind and body without pro-
ducing any subsequent depression.
He points out the fact that the chemical
composition of Coca-Cola is practically
identical with that OF coffee and tea
with sugar added) the only material
difference being the absence of tannic
acid from Coca-Cola. He points to the
laboratory experiments of DR.. Holling-
worth of columbia University and of
DR.. H. C. Wood. Jr. OF Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the caf.
feine-containing beverages (coffee. tea,
Coca Cola, etc. relieve mental and mus
cular fatigue by rendering the nerves
and muscles more responsive TO the
will, thus diminishing the resistance
produced by fatigue. These expert
ments also demonstrate the fact that
the caffeine group of beverages differ
from the stimulants in that the use Of
the latter is followed by period Of de-
preston which calls for more stimula-
ton, thus resulting in the formation Of
q habit. ADV.

is practically Identical with people one meets in
the street every day. and this Notwithstanding the
great interval of time that must have elapsed
and the vastly different conditions of life pre-
vailing. Indeed, he found that the brain capac-
ity (some 1900 cubic centmeters) even exceeds
the presentday average. In this respect the skull

to which Professor Keith is inclined TO assign
an age of 10000 years. judging from the position
in which it was found, beneath 81 feet of strata.
He is also OF opinion that the Tilbury man and
his Haiiing neighbor are members of the same
race, averaging over five feet in height strongly
built, with well-formed skulls and a striking abb
sence of heavy ridges the eyes, a race which
Huxley described the "river.bed' tyne from
its apparent haunts. This type is known to have
lived in paleolithic times, since skull was lately
discovered in company with pleistocene fossils
buried in Derbyshre cave. The later portion
OF the paleolithic period is estimated to extend
back from some 25.00O for at least 100000 years
This race of men was immeasurably superior
In cranfnl development to the race represented
by the Piltdown skull supposing this to be human
and unquestionably hundreds of thousands of
years interviewed between the two. In compar-
ing the great brain capacity of the Halling man
with that OF the neothc skull discovered near
Waltonon-the-Naze, which is estimated to be at
most not more than 1000 years old we do not
fnd the development expected, since the latter
possessed a brain capacity OF but 1850 cubic
centimeters, whereas the skull of the Galley Hill
man, regarded as the Oldest British example lex
cepting the Piltdown) yet discovered has brain
capacity of between 1850 and 1,4O0 cubic cent?
meters. Professor Keith in his work on "The
ancient TYPES OF Man. notes that In average
modern man of the Galley Hill skeletons stature
one should expect "a brain of 145O to 1475 cubic
centimeters (and) there many men in England
today with smaller brains than the Galley Hill
man" These remarks will apply with still moro
force to the Hang man. Regarding such primi-
tive types as the Neanderthal. Gibraltar and Pilt
down skulls. their antiquity must be measured
by many hundreds of thousands of years, IL we
are to understand that process of evolution has
