Judge Neil who is closing the
saloons in Nashville deserves the
hearty encouragement and COM
mendation Of the good people Of
Nashville. If he does not receive
their endorsement and cordial sup
port, the town will deserve no
better fate than it has experienced
during the last few years. Judge
Neil with public sentiment to help
him will accomplish much, and
show to the state what one man
can do with the law and good peo-
pie Oh his side.

Mississippi river was out Of its
banks and we had to plunge in
and wade for a half mile up the
bottom to reach the place we we're
wanted.
We had not more than got there
before Col. Rucker sent request
to Col. Brown to send him detail
from his regiment to assist his
men to man the guns as his men
we're exhausted. Col. Brown re-
fused to detail his men as they
we're not drilled in artillery tactics
but called on Capt. Bryant for
volunteers. Capt. Bryant, w. E.
Madame, George Hill, Billy Adam $
Tom Dick Williams and others
whose names | cannot now recall,
promptly volunteered and with
Fuckers Instructions succeeded in
holding the fort until trained ar
tillerymen arrived. That night
we abandoned the position and
went back to camp.
A few nights after that during
a violent storm the Yankees sue
ceeded in running one Of their
gunboats past our batteries which
sealed our fate as the Mississippi
was on our front and Reelfoot
lake at our back. As we had
served the prrpOse for which we
were placed there Wit hold Gen.
Pope in check in New Madrid,
Mo-, until Gen. johnson could
fight the battle of Shiloh. That
battle having been fought 9TH of
April, on the eighth we we're
promptly surrendered prisoners of
war. OF the fourteen of Bryant's
company that escaped capture
only three returned to the com.
many after we were exchanged.
We were kept at Tiptonyille
day or two when we we're placed
on steamboats, and carried to Cairo
Illinois, thence over the Illinois
Central Railroad to Camp Doug
las near Chicago. The prison al
ready being full we were placed in
cavalry stables.
After remaining in Camp Doug
las a few weeks we were sent to
Camp Randall near Madison, Wis
consin. While stationed there we
lost by death two of our company
w. I. REYNOLDS and John W.
Gordon, brother Of A. @. Gorden
of the Ninth district of this county,
a noble hearted boy. Two of
Clark's company made their es-
cape and got safely home, w. H.
Bledsoe and Jon Watson, father
of Charley Watson Of Hunting |
don.
We did not remain at this place
very long, but we we're sent back
to Camp Douglas about the 1st of
June.
Here we lost four more of our
company and by death Levi Row
land and three by taking the oath
of allegiance to the federal gov
eminent. While stationed there a
tremendous pressure was brought |
to bear on some of the boys whose
people had espoused the cause of
the Union after they had left home. |
But be it said to their credit with
the exception of the three named
they refured to tBke the oath and

treated as we'll as could be expect
ed while confined there, but were
all glad when we boarded the cars
and started South to be exchanged

Arriving at Cairo we were met
by fleet Of Transports which we
boarded and started on our jour-

WILL THE BRYAN PRIMARY
LAW PUT GILCHRIST IN

Senator Bryan handed u.s. some-
thing which may be good thing or
just the reverse when he wrote the
primary law enacted by the late Leg
islature. 1t will be tried out pretty
thoroughly next year and If its pro-
visions which obviate the necessity
of a second primary shall operate to
really defeat rather than express the
popular will, as some people now
fear, the law is doomed unless radi-
cal amendment can save it. Some
student Of this law has been writing
to the St. Petersburg Times on the
subject and his conclusions do not
commend it to public favor as SIM
pie and effective way of getting at
the will of a Democratic majority in
the primary. We take the follow
ing from the Times:
Zone of the ablest political prog
nosticators in the State of Florida
writes us personally his size-up at
this stage as follows: The campaign
will be between Fletcher and Stock
ton-and Gilchrist is likely to win.
None can hope to get majority Of
first choice votes, he writes; and the
Fletcher support will vote for Gil
christ second rather than for Stock
ton; the Stockton support will vote
for Gilchrist second rather than for
Fletcher; and these second choice
votes added to his own considerable
first votes are likely to put Gil
christ over. The fact that only the
two highest can get into the second
count would make it necessary for
Gilchrist to be one of the two high
men in first choice votes to win un-
der this hypothesis, although our
prognosticator without saying any
thing upon that point seems to figure
Fletcher and Stockton as high men.
1t is just possible this new first and
second choice ballot is going to tan
gle up even the ablest of our prog
nosticators. y

The Times-Union laid itself wide
open for criticism in the following
Paragraph:
Lakeland will try commission
government. Should we be proud
when admitting that we are unfit
to govern ourselve3?"
And the Apalachicola Times
promptly replied to its careless die
tum as follows:
Commission government Is not
an admission that we are incapable
Of self government. On the contrary
1t Is reckoned as the highest type of
efficiency, and produces results su-
perior in every way to the obsolete
methods OF aldermanic government
The writer does not claim to be an
expert in this matver. but he has
read great deal both for and
against commission government, and
his reading has convinced him that
commission government is the best
that man so far has devised -
And the Times might have added
that the commission form is Just as
elective as the other and in no way
valves the right of self government
1t merely changes the form.

Why is it that every town or coun-
ty holding bond elections is com
PEELED to pay large attorney fees and
wait an interminable time to find
out whether the bonds that they
have issued are good or not? 1t
seems to be necessary under our sys-
TEN, and yet it doesn't look as if it
should be necessary. Can't some
system be devised which would
make bonds marketable without all
of this delay and expense? Yes.
yes, we are mindful or the constitu-
ton, and all that, but the system
seems to be a poor one at that -
Orlando Sentinel.
In the very nature of things there
can be mo remedy for the difficulty
mentioned by the Sentinel. Capital
is the most timid thing in the world,
and as nearly every town, city and
county in America gets money at
some time Or other on bond issues,
common prudence demands that
thorough examination by competent
lawyers must be made in every in
stance to assure the validity of the
bonds and that no legal obstruction
can be raised at any time against
their payment or the interest on
them. Put yourself In the place Of
the capitalist and see how minute
and thorough would be your inves-
tigation before you would exchange
your money for the Promise to pay
of some town or county you Prob
ably never heard Of before.
