action Atlast, convinced that the con
servatives were in full control and moth

GINA leave the Union, he went to Char
lesion, where hostilities were about to
break out. 1t has been said that a brief
but significant speech by General Prv-
or was among the most potent factors
IN .precipitating the crisis.
Scarcely less thrilling is the story of
General Basil Duke, Of Kentucky, an
other OF the ten surviving general Of
llcers. While still very young man,
General Duke enlisted in Missouri and
was named as captain. Under special
commission from the Governor of the
State, he was sent to Montgomery to
ask arms for the free Missourians, who
were willing to sacrifice for the Con-
federacy. Important missions follow
eel last until, in July, he was named as
Northumberland Of The famous Sec
ond Kentucky Regiment, under com
mand of John H. Morgan.
Following his intrepid captain, Gen
eral Duke participated in those raids
which rsade the name of Morgan as IA
nous in the West as were the names of
Stuart and Mosby in the East.
10 him, after the downfall Of the
Southern Confederacy, fell the solemn
but honorable duty Of escorting south
ward the President Of the dead nation.
This happened more by chance than
otherwise. Finding that it was useless
to battle longer in Kentucky, overrun

as was that State by the t'ederals. Gen
eral Duke took his brigade and marched
TO JON General Johnston, at that time
contendlng against the Overwhelming
1orce Of the victorious Sherman. Bit
before Duke could join Johnston, news
came that the hard-pressed army had
surrendered, and that further resist
ance was impossible.
But learning that President Davis
with a scanty bodyguard, was in the vi,
entity, General Duke pressed on and es-
corted Mr.. Davis to Washington, Ga.
near'Which place the President was
captured.
Perhaps the most able-bodied survi-
Vor OF the ten whose pictures we print
to-day is General William Rufin Cox.
OF North Carolina, well-known and
Well:beloved by reason of his long resi-
dence in Richmond.
At the outbreak Of the war, he
was named as major of the Second
North Carolina Infantry. After the
bloody Battle of Sharpsburg, he was
promoted lieutenant-colonel and, a r.
tie later, received his three stars. Thrice
wounded at charlottesville and COM
mended in the highest terms by Cen
eral Ramseur his division officer, he
returned to the service as soon as his
wounds healed and bore honorable part
IN the hard fighting from the Rapidan
to the James. For his gallant conduct
at Spotsylvania, he was made briga-
dler-general, and thereafter was in
trusted with important commands. In
the raid into Maryland, in the disas-
trous Valley campaign and in the
trenches around Petersburg his troops
never faltered.

The Lincoln County News has
discovered the right name for
THE Mexican Situation" It's
THE Mexican Mess" The News
recalls the fact that the "Mexicn
Mess" is an inheritance from the
Taft administration--that Taft
at one time started to put 20, 900
troops over the Mexican border,
when his feet got cold and his
heart failed him. Then comes
along President Wilson refusing
to recognize Huerta, the assassin
of Madero, and sending him some
sort Of an ultimatnm which
might have been but PREDATORY
remark for all the good it did.
Wilson also missed the chance to
do something at the opportune,
the psychological moment, and
since then the butchery Of whom
soever the greasers might choose
to kill has gone merrily on. By
raising the embargo on the ex
portation of arms and ammuni-
tion into Mexico, Uncle Sam will
dou btless be able to trace to him
self many murders pure and
simple that might not have hap
pened had the Mexicans been
left with none but their own
|primitiveweapons. The Lincoln
County News very aptly Gays
that argument with savage or
semi-savage does not amount to
much--when the savage has 4

Of what happened after Dewey

est Is SHOWN by an effort to d
something really worth while to
the farmers. By doing SO he
will have a right to expect the
commentator and endorsement
of his supporters. Ii he wants
to help the farmer he can do it
better by helpful legislation that
will enable the forces working to
make their work most effective.
The Department of Agricul-
ture despite the meager approp-
ration for its maintenance for
the past three years, can point
to practical work done, of real
valae to the farmers of the state.
Among other things it has Grad
icated the Texas fever cattle
tick from tee state, which was
causing loss of more than three
million dollars annually to the
cattle industry; it has eradicat-
ed sheep scabies, preventing
another great loss in that indus
try; it has made substantial pro-
gress in CONTROLLING the ravages of
hog cholera, tuberculosis aud
black leg in cattle and CHAMBERS in
horses; it has succeeded in plac-
ing live stock sanitary control
work on a sane, practical basis.
Correspondingly satisfactory
work has been done In the en-
forcement of the feed, seed and
fertilizer laws that will mean
the saving Of millions of dollars
to the farmers of Tennessee.
The nursery and orchard inspec-
tioD work has been in the hands
of competent man and the hon
ey bee has been recognized for
its true worth, not alone for hon.
ey production, but its even more
important work in the thorough
fertilization Of many important
crops.
The Department Of Agricnl-
tnre while restricted for funds
for its work. has not cost the
general tax payers Of Tennessee
one penny. 1t has, from it's rev
ennes from inspection. turned
Into the state treasury more than
$25, 900 net profit to the state an-
nually. This surplus as we'll as
every expense of every charac-
ter, is paid by a special tax by
the farmer, in addition to his
general tax, and the surplus
should be available for the De-
partment to increase the effici-
ency Of it's work.
The writer, who is now the
Commissioners Of Agriculture,
and has been directing the work
Of the Department of Agricul-
ture for the past three years, is
not making this appeal for more
liberal appropriations for the de-

morning paper reporter could have OBJ
tanned all the facts If he had taken

ton to organize permanently as all
Of those who wish to participate could
not attend the first meeting. Messrs.
Wheeler and Draeger simply acted as

one on bylaws and plan Of organiza-

has been sent for all interested to at.
tend the meeting next Friday night,
uher the committee on bylaws and

likely that the official family of the
