was able to use the ripened plant of
abSolutiSm for the destruction of its
authors country.
1t was Bismarck who, in the mid
die Of the eighteenth century, saw that
either Prussia or Austria must domi-
nate, and he set to work to insure that
domination to Prussia. Austria was
drawn into the spoliation of Schleswig-
Holstein from Denmark and Holstein
was assigned as her portion of the
spoilS, but it was not long until Austria
realized that she was threatened by
Germany. Bismarck forced the quarrel,
the war of 1866 followed. and in few
weeks Austria was humbled as, four
years later, France was humbled at
Sedan.
Bismarck used the Italian provinces
of Austria against her, but, because
he did not want strong Italy, Austria
was allowed to keep most of her Italian
territory. Yet her diplomacy had to
meet a new condition growing out of
the dominance of German absolutism.
German cooperation was necessary to
preserve the Teutonic influence in the
sion. Though it was the Car of Rus
STA who sent the army into Hungary
and crushed the uprising there, the
Magyars were numerous enough and
strong enough to secure recognition
as an equal partner in the empire
rather than as a dependency.
Prussia did not want an independent
Hungary, but the dual kingdom with
Hungary as an equal partner was also
an embarrassment to her. However,
she was forced to stand with Austria
because any impairment of Teutonic
Austria meant the impairment of Teu-
tonic Germany. The German war lords.
with their hatred of popular govern
ment, were in complete sympathy.

This Rev. Alexander Scott had a
brother, Rev. James Scott, who was
also a clergyman Of the Church of Eng
land in Virginia. The date of his COM
ing to the colony is not known. but his
arrival was before 1873, for there is a
record that early in that year he was
married to Sarah Brown. a daughter of
Dr. Gustavus Brown Of Port Tobacco.
Mrs. Brown was born Frances Fowke,
descendant of the Fowkes of Gunston
Hall. England. and was kinswoman of
the wife of George Mason of Gunston
Hall on the Potomac, about eighteen
miles below Washington. Alexander
Scott bequeathed his estates to his

piles of slabs and sawdust about it
and a half acre of broken bark and
splinters around it. In the southwest
angle is Swinks mill. now used as
barn, and with mammoth wheel at its
side. 1t is a wheel that has not turned
for generations. Men in that country
whose backs are beat and whose
boards are gray have not heard the
song of that mill wheel since they were
toddling children, and even then the
mill was so old that its wheel sang
with a rusty. creaking voice.
In the southeast angle of the pike

owner of the silent mill. Inscribed on

Bennett cap tured the car and phoned to Flower and Dixon to look out for the other car. which they did, capturing it a little later. It contained a large quantity of booze and was driven by a negro. A little later the man who owner the car captured by Bennett came in and was also taken into GUS tody.
