MRsFEITONS TALKS
CONDUCTED BY
HEas. WIZ FELTON,
The Money Of the confedcracy

A loyal reader of The Semi-Weekly
Journal appeals to me to tell the
readers of our paper what became OF
the cash and the valuables of the
Southern Confederacy when the col
lapse came and the president. with
his cabinet vacated Richmond and
started to Georgia, where President
Davis was captured by a squad of
Federal cavalry and carried to Macon.
There was considerable gold in the
treasury. and the rctreating party
carried it with them until they
reached the town of A3heville, y. c.,
where the very last cabinet meeting
was held in a lovely oldtime south
ern mansion, which was still standing
and in good order q few years ago.
| am unable to give the amount of
gold in reliable figures. There has
been much discussion of the subject,
both north and south. Many lies have
been told, perhaps, on both sides OF
Mason and Dixon line. The most
reliable statement that 1 have ever
seen in print tells of a division OF
this tres sury gold among the retreat-
ing authorities. Tho eXigencies of
the situation demanded the scatter
ing OF the company, which left Rich
monu as soon as it was known that
Generals Lee and Johnston could hold
on but a few days or hours longer.
If the gold had not been divided out.
all of it would certainly have found
it's way into the pockets of the VIC
lent pursuers. 1t seemed to be the
only possible way of preventing
rapine and loot. The people in charge
of it had manifest title to it above
and beyond any others then in evil
dence-who were then in pursuit. 1t
was never shown that Mr.. Davis had
more than an equal share, and facts
go to prove that he had, perhaps,
much less than some others. When
he was captured in Georgia and car
ried to Macon as a prisoner, with
his wife and official family, L was
a refugee. living within five miles of
Macon, Ga. Our family consisted of
my husband, myself and two Of our
children, along with perhaps fifty col
ored people that belonged to us, and
who had left home with us before
Sherman captured Atlanta. We had

wrists. l heard his captors say
We will finish him." and then
awolSe, drenched with perspiration,
and my husband calling me and beg
ging to know if I was in great pain.
When l ceased to sob and could
place myself, he said: Haven't you
got troubles enough without this
suffering on account of Mr., Davis,
who is far better off now than you
are?" We had a federal soldier in
the house as a military protection,
and the next day he went to Macon
and saw the procession enter the
Lapier house with Mr.. Davis a pris-
oner! When he came back eXultant.
and told what he saw, l broke down
completely. That dream has always
been ore OF my life mysteries. /
never have understood it's portent.
Mr.. Davis capture w3g almost then
occurring so near me, and I saw the
whole thing with agonizinG distinct
ness only in a dream.

HE DARKENED HIS
GRAY HAIR
Tells How He Did 1t.

Mr.. J. A. McCrea, a well-known
resident of San Francisco, who
was called Daddy and Grandpa on
account of his white hair, and who
darkened it with a homemade mix
ture, recently made the following
statement:
Anyone can prepare a simple mix
ture at home that will darken gray
hair and make it soft and glossy.
To half-pint of water add l ounce
of bay rum, small box of Barbo
Compound and 1-4-ounce of glycer-
inc.
These ingredients can be bought
at any drug store at ve"y little
cost. Apply to the hair twice a week
until the desired shade Is obtained

sticky or greasy and does not rub

to come to him. | wrote him /

ton away from home. Our cor
respondence grew less, and he began
to go with other girls. l saw him
again last fall and told him that he
would either quit going with the
other girl or he would quit going
with me. SO he promised that if I

long until he was back in the same

that he loved me? Thanking you for

wearing your hair low over the
forehead and puffed out about
the ears, though not too much.
I don't know anything that will

There are many drugs advertised

You might go to a good doctor

ANSWER-There are many causes
for the chicks to fail to break the
shell: low temperature in Matching.
poor vitality in the parents. too dry
atmosphere are three prime causes.
Fhe hen may be poor and the nest
cold and keep the eggs as cold as
an incubator with too little heat. A
lousy hen will not sit close to the
eggs Some nests are high and the
wind has fair sweep under them.
They should be lined with paper and
then the straw put in. for some hers
work their eggs around till they have
nothing under them but the founda-
ton. a hen OF cock has no ,vitalit''
after roup, and that was what you:
cOckerel most probably had. Take
ten of your best hens and mate with
all the Matching eggs you will need
Kill the sick cock and the hen that
has the swollen legs, unless it is
just scaly leg. That disease can be
cured by using crude or black oil
Every farmer has that for hog lice
Take a brush and rub the oil into the
scales thoroughly. There is a mite
causes the trouble. One application
is usually enough. 1t is also fine fo1
sore head. keep some in a tin
can and use an ola toothbrush for
the legs and a mop for the heads
l used the oil when my turkeys had
sore heads. ~
