The Sco By James N As I have said. T. had captured the three federal soldiers and brought them into our lines. One of the pris oners was a lieutenant and he had a very fine gold watch that he offered to T. and asked him to take care of it for him. He was afraid that some of oui- men would take it from him and right he was for thinking so. But T. promised him that he should not be robbed and he had some trouble in carrying out this promise. but he sue ceeded in saving his watch for him and when he left them this lieutenant asked T. his name and he gave him his name, county and state. He wrote it down in a memorandum. This was the last they saw of each other dur ing the war, and so far as T. was con cerned, he .forgot the incident until after the -war, in the days of recon struction here at the south when ev ery old Confederate was considered a Ku Klux and all that was necessary to have them arrested as a Ku Klux was, for a negro to go to the com mandant of any of the posts and swear out a warrant for any man and say that he belonged to the Ku Klux Klan, and he would be arrested and lodged in prison and never given any showing whatever. He was denied the right of. habeas corpus and had to lie in prison 'until his friends could ran som him or get him out some crooked way probably to be re.arrested in a few.~days and he would have to pay another ransom if he could. This caused a great many of our young men- to leave*and Seek homes in the west. During this time T. had settled down in his old home in Laurens coun ty and was trying to run a farm with newly freed negroes who felt their freedom too much and their responsi bility too little, which made them a hard lot to get along with. If you had any diffiulty with one, he would step into the yankee camp and report you as a Ku Klux, which would i sure your,arrest in a few days. T. had a difficulty with a negro boy and gave him a caning. The negro went to the yankees and reported him and swore out a Ku Klux warrant for him. T. left home and came to Newberry and in company with T. lM. Paysinger was standing on law range, near the offce' ,of the. commandant. They saw the o fficer coming to his office. He -stop ped and took a close look at T. and as he started to leave, he asked him to. come into his offie before he left town that he wanted to see him. The officer went in and left him and Pay singer talking. Paysinger told T. they had a warrant for him and that *he had better not go in. T. was eon sidera1y worried about it,' felt sure they had a warrant for him, and he did not intend to hide out and it was only a question of a short time before they would have him and he did niot relish the thought of having to lie in jail and, be denied the right of giving bail and probably .be in jail for months before he would be tried and doubtful of what the end would be, he decided to go in and see what the yankee officer wanted to see him about. So he mustered' up all his courage and put on a bold front and stepped in. The officer took another close look at him and asked~ his name and then referred to a little memo randum which he took from his pock et and remarked: ''Yes, that is the right name.'' He then took from a pigeon hole a bunch of warrants and ran over them and took one from among them saying, ''I have a war rant for you as being captain of a Ku Klux Klan and the names of sev eral -of your neighbors as belonging to your Klan. Now, I am not asking you to say whether youtor they are, or are not Ku Klux, but look over the batch and whenever you come to a warrant for one of your neighbors, you throw it to one side.'' As he did so, the officer wvould put a red cross mark on them and then took them up, bundled them together and put them into his pocket.' T. expected to be ar rested then, but he thought he would make out like he was going to see if he would arrest him, but instead the officer asked him to sit down that he wanted to talk to him a little more, so he sat down and the officer drew that old memorandum out and read the date and name, and .asked if he re membered capturing three prisoners do>wn in Deep Bottom and one of them was a lieutenant, ''and you kept your boys from taking his watch,'' he said. ''I am that lieutenant, although I am a colonel now. I feel ynder obliga tions to you, and want to do you a favor. Now, what I am going to do, if found out at headquarters, would ut No. 2 1 P1 ei itchell. fouglht against each otther. the war is over and I have you in my power. but I am going to show you that I haven't forgotten your kindness to me.'' and he handed T. that bunch of warrants against him and his neighbors and told him to put them in the fire and let him see him do it and in the fire they went. He never heard any more of them., and he and his neigehbors stayed at iomic in peace ever after. That sznne cohlnel was afterwards To0ved to Laurens and he and T. re newed their friendship with a social drink and he would ride out to T's. farm and-spend a day. When leavingi he would tell T. if lie and his freed men had any trouble, let him know and he would send a man out to see about it.

Ashland, Mass., April 19.-A large crowd was assembled near the bridge, Ashland, when the great Marathon Race under the auspices of the Boston Athletic Association started there at noon today. At the crack of the pistol in the hands of the starter lie runners started down toward the depot. each one acompanied by a bicycle rider, who has orders to assist the runner to whom lie is assigned in every possible way, should lie become disabled or be compelled for some reason or other to drop out of the race. Every man whose strength should give out, will be put on board of a train or trolley car and sent home under escort of his cyclist compainon. The course for the race. which is about twenty-five miles lon, rMS from the starting point toward the depot. across the tracks of the rail road. and in an almost straight line through South Framingham, Natick, Wellesley, Newton Lower Falls, past the large sign boards, through the Newtons, Chestnut Hill, past the Re servior, through Beacon street, into Exeter street and finishing at the Boston Athletic Club house. The runners, more than fifty of whom started this noon, all seemed to be in good physical condition, but it is expected that a great many of them will drop out before having cov ered the entire distance. Prizes will be given to the first eight men and a souvenir each to the following twenty five men who may finish after the prize winners. Souvenirs will also be presented to each caretaker of all contestants being placed. Emperor's Gift Causes Trouble. New York; April 19.-The Kaisex Prize of the Northeastern Saenger bund, the $20,000 silver statue of a Minnesinger, donated by Emperor William on the occasion of the Twen tieth National Saengerfest held in Brooklyn in 1900, is once more caus ing trouble among the German sing ers, as it has ever since it was donated by the Emperor. Among the socie ties which were entered for the con test for the prize at the coming Saen gerfest, are the Kreutzer Quartette club, Manhattan, the Concordin, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; Junger Maenner eher, Manhattan and Arion, Newark, cher, Manhattan and Arion, Newark, N. J. The latter society's musical di rector,.is John Lorenzo who is also the festival conductor and winner of the prize for the prize song. The other contesting societies de* manded that the Arion should with draw from the contest, because their director was the festival directoi and the composer of the prize song. The members of the Arion, however, could not see the logic of this demand and declined, so far, to withdraw from the contest. The decision has beer postponed from week to week, but the matter will be finally decided this evening, aftei- the concert, which the Arion is going to give tonight.
