However, in the construction of n Stag

During such procedure it is recon-

This likewise should be thoroughly

This is necessary because of the natu.
raj concerning qualities of Stag, and in
order to get it properly bound this ma

too often the case with most other road
metals, will gradually improve until
the entire roadbed becomes n solid

Historical Truth

1t seems remarkable that near
" fifty years after the close of
the Civil War historians are un-
able to agree as to the manner
in which General "StonewalI"
Jackson met his death. The
statement that he was shot by
one of his own men has the sup
port of indubitable proofs, but
it has been challenged by some
conroversialist. A recent dis
cussion of the subject has brought
letter to the Clarksburg Elk
p9nent from Theophilus x. Har.
ter, a Confederate veteran living
at Lone Tree, Tyler county, this
state, which clears u some err
rors.
Mr.. Harter says spent his boy
l.o2d near General Jackson
home and hat he knew him in
timately. He was in Jackson S
command when the war broke
out, and be remembers the cir
cumStauces of bis death as clear
~ as if it occurred yesterday.
Mr.. Harter's version of the trag-
edy is that the general, upon
learning that the Union soldiers
planned to surprise his outposts
at Charlottesville, issued an or
der fOrbidding the entrance OF
any person within his lines with
out having first given the coun-
tersign ovec the end of mus
Aet. " Subsequently Jackson
was reconnoitering with other
officers, and when returning &c
the Confederate lines was chal.
lenged by a sentry whom he at
tempted to pass. The sentry

the general in the wrist, iDflict,

serious wound.

Washington, January 26.-There has

the adoption of compromise With the

at the state department today from its
