* A FEDERAL FORT . * IN A . 1 * LOCUST GROVE. . * . * For The Keowee Courier. * ******** ** * i * * * I have been asked to describe a battle, but one cnn nardly do that. It simply is a chaos of noise and confu sion. Of what is going on one knows nothing. The din is appalling. The roar of cannon, the bursting of sholl, the hum of grape ana canister, the whistling of bullets, the shouts of the men, the cries und groans of the wounded and dying, created a migh ty roar that seemed to render think ing impossible. During battles that I witnessed in the late war showers <>F leaves would fall incessantly, great boughs of trees were ton\ away, and trees themselves some times came crashing down as a trunk was struck full by a shot or shell. The undergrowth would often catch fire, and the thick smoke, mingling with that of battle, rendered lt dif ficult to see or breathe. A soldier had but one thought-that was to drive the enemy from his front. I do not think a soldier in battle bas much thought of danger. The whole thing le somehow so tremendous that a man haB no thought whatever for himself. It is a s^rt of terrible dream, in which one is possessed with the single idea to get to a cer tain place. It was at the bloody battlo of Franklin that Gen. Hood, standing on an eminence, saw in the distance a Federal fort In a locust grove. He called his courier to his side and said, "Qo to Gen. Cheatham, give bim my compliments, an.i ll him that I ask at his hands 1 nat toi * in the locust grove. ' But the courier soon returned, saying that the gene ral could not be found. Ho then told him to "go to Gen. Cleaborn and givo him my compliments, and tell him that I ask at his hands the fort in the locust grove." off he Hew the second time, and again re turned, saying: "Gen. Hood, Gen. Cleaborn is dead on the held." It is stated that when he heard that lils great Irish leader had fallen in the battle, with tears in his eyes, and his great heard swelling with tender emotion, ho said to his courier the third time, "Go to Gen. Cocknal. ( who was at that time the youngest brigadier in the army), give him my love, and tell him that I ask at his hands the fort in the locust grove." Finding the young general, the courter said: "Gen. Hood sends you his love and asks at your hands the fort in the locust grove." It Is said the young Missourian raised himself up In his stirrups and cried with a loud voice, "First Missouri Brigade, attention! and every man stood in lils place, with teeth clinched, brows knit, and every nerve contracted, waiting for the second command, and it soon came ringing down the line as upon an electric wave, "For ward! Double (julck! March!" The Rebel yell was- raised to heaven, and across the meadow they flew, sweeping the held with bayonets and capturing the fort. It was then that Oen. Cocknall called his courier to Iiis side and said: ' no to Gen. Hood, nive him my love, and tell him that I present to him the Federal fort in the locust grove; but tell the general that lt cost tho best blood the Stato Of Missouri had to take lt." J.

Away out on the end of Newport's rock cliffs, where great waves break incessantly against the rocks, a World man found and talked with Ida Lewis, the aged keeper of the Lime Rock Light, who in... been sin gled out by the Society of the Ameri can Cross of Honor as the bravest woman in America, and so entitled to wear its cross. After clamoring up the rocky trail the visitor knocked a* the door. It was openod by a bright-faced little woman, hor hands covered with dough, her apron whitened with flour, but with a happy kindly smile. "I have received a letter from so ciety, telling me that I was brave, or something of that kind" she said, "but I get so many letters from all kinds of people that I did not pay any attention to it. So they say I'm brave"-and Bhe laughed a merry musical laugh. When asked to tell her rescues, she said : "All I can say is that I havo made eighteen from before th? war to 1896. But I don't care anything for records. If I -aw you out there" and she polntud out into the raging surf-"and your boat bad capsized, I would go to your rescue. "I was asked to take a medal last year, but I refused lt. I pulled a wo man out of the water off here. Her name was Miss Walker. She was dressed so handsomely that I was very sorry for her Her friends came and told me a lot of nice things, and that 1 must have a Carnegie medal I told them I did not care about medals. Then a committee waited on me and I refused to accept any medal. It was no rescue; nothing like tho others, and I never even numbered lt among tho rescues I had made." She related that lt was a summer visitor who had been capsized in a boat, and she went out in her boat and rescued her. "They told mo she would have drowned had I not pulled her out, but 1 did not care anything about that. It did not seem to me to be a rescue, so I refused the medal. I would try to save any one who was out there. That ls all there ls to lt. "I used to keep clippings of the rescues, but people borrowed them, one by one, and though they prom lsed to return them, they seldom did, and they are all gone. I was very sorry to lose th?m, but 1 never took the trouble to replace them. "I do not know the names cf those whom I rescued, except Sergt.Adams, whom I rescued in ..869. The others used to write to mo from time to time, but I guess they have all gone now. I don't get lette-s from any of them, nor do they visit nie now. "I have always been troubled with weak lungs, and 1 guess it is Lime Rock that has kept me alive and well so many years. I just love the old light and the sea breeze that blows here and lashes the s?fl Into such fury against the rocks. It is all my life, and I don't suppose I could be con tented anywhere else." Few women In the country are held in greater reverence at Newport than Ida Lewis Wilson. She has "tended" the light for fifty years. Her hair is but slightly tinged with Kray. She is of medium height, well formed, but inclined to be frail. She cleans, oils, and runs tho light that warns marin?is off this dangerous ledge, and never ha.o mariners found lt dimmed. Politicians often tried to get her job as keeper ol' the light until Con gress finally passed an act appoint ing her keeper for life.

Mest Marvelous Recori? is Ml*^0*^ of Anthracite Mining. Pottsville, Pa., Nov. 13.-Impris oned for 87 hours several hundred feet beneath the surface of the earth, almost directly under his own home, where his wife and children mourned for him as dead, Michael McCabe, of Gilberton, was to-day taken from his tomb In the Draper mine, barely alive, after one of the most marvel ous rescues In the history of anthra cite mining. Since Saturday afternoon, when the top of the chamber in which he was working caved in and caused a rush of culm and water from the surface, .olays of workmen toiled unceasing ly to reach him. Shortly after midnight the rescu ers detected a scratching noise which told them that McCabe was still liv ing, and with renewed vigor fresh reliefs were put lo work, and at 5 o'clock this morning he was reached. He had not changed his position from the time the rush occurred as he feared that by moving about ano ther rush of culm mlf,ht start, which would end his life. When rescued he said he thought he had been im p iso nod for at least a week, and was BO weak for want of water and food that he could scarcely speak. He was taken to his home, where the house of mourning was changed to one of rejoicing. This is worth Remembering.

Meeting a Sandstorm. ( Chicago News. ) What lt means to encounter a sand storm In the desert of Sahara ls de scribed by Mrs. Palmer Thomas: "Few things bring such a sense of utter powerlessness ns a desert sand storm, and 1 shall never forget my experience of one. Our dragoman one day suddenly called our atten tion to a darkening horizon line. 'See, he said, 'a sandstorm comes; no mau will ride in such.' We had barely time to dismount and make the cr.mels kneel in a circle on the sand before the storm was upon us. Bach man threw his kaftan over the peaks of his saddle, and crouched within the shelter it afforded and that formed by the animal's body behind him, while 1 nestled in the j liol low formed by my camel's neck and shoulder, drawing the folds of tile blanket-like stuff tightly over me. The wise beast, knowing what was coming, turned her long neck around and laid ber bead on my knees, seek ing tho protection of my clonk for her eyes against tho sand, which, driven by the fury of the wind,struck the fnce like powdered glass. "But 1 loooked out upon the scene as long as 1 could, watching what appeared to be a mass of brown eaufce veils streaming up across the sky, darkening the sunlight and gradually blotting out everything from our sight. An icy wind pre coded the cloud, Increasing in inten sity every minute, until the sound of its roaring made one's voice Inaudi ble, while the darkness became that of densest night. And so we sat silent to the noise and the blackness until the hurricane abated. Then looking out again 1 saw the brown ish mass of cloud dying before the wind away toward the Nile, some forty miles distant and the cloud let blue of a March sky in Egypt once more overspread above us. "But the legs of our beasts were all covered with the sand that had fallen, and notwithstanding my shel tered position the sand was lying on my dress and hat and was thick up on us. For some time we watched Gie brown cloud losing itself in the immensity of the desert, where the whitening l?mes of animals tell with sad frequency of the overwhelming fury of these sudden tempests; then We mounted and rode away."

Osceola went through many bat tles, writes Gen. Howard In St. Nich olas, but never despaired and never surrendered until the feanul battle came when the Indians were defeat ed by Gen. Taylor. Then the waters ran with the blood of Uncle Sam's quarrelling children, and Osceola's men were scattered to the four winds of heaven. Even then Osceola would not have been captured but for an act of treachery. He was asked to come to a conference at a camp not far from St. Augustine. He came with some of his warriors, trusting to the word of the commander, but he and his comrades were at once surround ed and carried to St. Augustine as prisoners ot war. Our officers said lt was right to do this because Osce ola had not kept his promise in peace or war, but we do not like to think that the officers and agents of Uncle Sam broke their word, even if an Indian chief did not keep his. Though Osceola fought in the inician way, he hated the treatment that the white people gave the Indians still we know he did not hate the white wo men and children, and constantly told his warriors to treat women and children with kindness. After he was t:.ken to St. Augus tine he was in a sad condition. His spirit was broken y defeat and im prisonment, and he grew feeble as he realized there was no escape. When he was taken to Fort Moul trie, in Charleston harbor, he knew that he should never see his own land again. i'hen he refused food, would pp? no visitors, and died, bro ken-hearted, after a short illness, and respected as he had been by the Indian nation, his manly nature was too proud to be longer under the control of the white man.

Miss Lillian Johnson Built Almost Every Hit of Her Residence. (Kansas City, Mo., Dispatch.) "I built it all myself, except a lit tle bit of botch work done by a lady carpenter." Miss Lillian M. Johnson, of No. 2848, North Eighteenth street, West .side, was telling how she built the ^nine-room house in which she lives. Miss Johnson began work on her house in the fall following th? flood in the Kaw Valley of 1903. She was a Salvation Army worker In Armour dale at the time of tho flood. She lost everything except $7. She went to a real estate Arm and arranged to buy on payments the 100 feet of ground on which her house stands. The first payment was $2 0, but she was allowed to take the ground on the promise that she would pay the amount In thirty days. She kept her promise, started canvassing for a medicated soap firm, and soon made enough to fence the ground. The cold weather forced her to seek in door work. Then she began, wrap ping candles in a factory. In May, ?904, Miss Johnson built a two-room box house, doing all the work herself and getting the lumber on payments. After moving into her new home she "received two women as boarders. She was able, by the first of July, to buy a cow.

However, her resources were not ex hausted. She began taking in wash ing. Through these various means she paid for the lot. But Miss Johnson was not satis fied. She. must enlarge her house. She graded her lot with a spade and wheelbarrow, laid the foundation, put up the frames, roofed, boxed, and she was forced to hire a carpen ter to make her window frames. She has finished the entire interior of the house, lay! * 'he floors and lathing. The plans e house were made by her, and ma..y original ideas have entered into it. She has a large cupboard in the dining room, which extends along the whole side of tho room. This cupboard has compart ments for ail the cooking necessities, flour, coffee, tea and spices, and a large shelf for displaying dishes. In her living room, Miss Johnson has a bay window, fitted up as a conservatory. In this she has many beautiful plants. The grounds about the house are well kept. A large arbor, fruit trees and flower beds with the bluegrass lawn made the pince attractive. "How did I learn to do carpenter work? Why 1 just loun 1 out I could do lt when I built r..y little two room box house, and I determined to try my hand on something better," Miss Johnson said. "I had only three tools when I started out-a hammer, hatchet and saw. As I mnde more money, I was able to buy more tools, and now I have a complete set.

AND ?LOO. PRIVILEGE TAX FALLS BEHIND. CoUcction8 this Year Probably ?IS, OOO LeKM Utan Last Year. (Columbia State.) Tho privilege tax, derived from the fertilizer industry by the State will probably fall $15,000 short of tho amount collected last year. The amount collected to date is $145, 918.71. Up to the same date last year the collection? amounted to $157,371.66, more than $11,000 in excess of this year's receipts. While the privilege tax is collected by the State Treasurer, not one cent of it goes into the general fund, but all is applied to the maintenance of Clemson College. While the collec tions will undoubtedly fall short of i luise of last year no fears are enter tained that this college will suffer on this account, as this college is well provided for in the amount thus far received. The grand total collected in 1906 was $167,158.39. A tickling cough, from any cause, is quickly stopped by Dr. Shoop's Congli Cure.
