be shot.
To guard agaIlnSL any surprise, ei
ther in front or in the rear, I sent
two men forward. and had two to foI
low in the rear, several hundred yards
toi give~ warning, shzould allything un
ualturn up. Abat tel o'eloek. we
c(cludd w hal a short whil e for
breakfa,;;t and res, . but ultSL tilen, the
Vdeites letIn the rea-.came runnn
up and reported. a body of horsemen
in our .ear. We were on a Wooded
bill wit.h a considerable valley be
tween us and the hill behind. so I
deployed my men as skirmishers on
either side of the thoroughfare, eon
cealing them behind the great trees
that covered the hill we were on. We
waited in breathless silence, listening
to the distant rumbling which we took
to be artillery. I had recently re
cruited my company with a large
number of young men from the boy
companies at Florence, and they be
came undulv excited and rattled at
the prospects of getting into a fight
with our own men.
A short while after getting the men
in position, we saw coming down the
opposite hill ten or twelve mountel
men, apparently examining our tracks
and behind the horsemen were a dozen
or more covered wagons,. six mules
to a team. I couldn't for the life ol
me make it out. When the troops
came up opposite, or rath-er inside o'
our cordon, I stepped out, and cried,
"Halt." Then came the clicking
down our line as the men cocked their
rifles, and of all the frightened men
I ever saw, these horsemen were cer
tainly the most frightened. When
they looked down the line and saw the
l>ristling guns, they fairly lost their
wits. They seemed to be all officers,
and when I questioned them as to
their business and purpose, they sim
ply looked at each other in blank
amazement. unable to make any reply.
I then told them we were soldiers that
did not wish to surrender and were
trying to make our way to the Trans
Mississippi, and that we would not Ie
turned back without a struggle. The-i
a great smile spread all over their
countenances. one of the older men
shouted, "'that's our tramp precisely.
We do not wish to surrender. and we
are taking these teams and wagons
back to our homes in Mississippi."
An understanding was soon reached;
we joined forces and took up our
march together. The wagons were all
loaded with sugar, coffee, meat and
Confederate cloth. They promised to
give us plenty to eat and drink and to
carry our baggage while we were to
guard and protect th-e train. I gath
ered from their conversation, that this'
train belonged to the Westein army
-and was under their control, that they
had selected the very best mules and
outfit, loaded up with the most sale
able and valuable goods, and were
making their way home; there to sell
The outfit and divide the money be
tween them. They were quarter-mas
ters and commissaries, and when they
told me of their designs, I determined
then and there, that we, too, would
have a finger in the pie when a divide
or separation took place. We traveled
along in good humor with ourselves
and our newcomers felt highly pleased
and satisfied at the idea of being
guarded by a hundred riflemen. They
fed us well and wve lived like lords
while it lasted.
We traveled along leisu.rely for
several days, witihout accident, until
we came to a large stream ,greatlyI
swollen by recent rains up the river.
We had been traveling in regular miu
,itary order, the wagon train in the
center, with our troops in front and
rrear. Inasmuch as I had command of
that branch of our little army that
had the fighting and guarding to do,
should we be set upon, the Mississip
pians very willingly turned the entire
direction of affairs over to my hands.
We went into camp for a few days3
at an old mill, wit'h the ford just be
low, to await the subsidence of the
waters. During this time, we heard
that the Yankees were on the other
side of the river and were picketing
every crossing of' rivers, north of the
state line. This information threw
the quartermasters and teamsters in
the wildest cofuio. They thou?h
to be eaught with govern,ment proper
tv in the.ir possession, would be a
criminal action and cause them to be
sent north for trial. I tried to allay
their fears as much as possible, as
surinw them I had sufficient forces to
iv'otect the train. But nothing would
sa.tisfy them but return, and I sawv
the. teams turned( round and wind
their way slowly over the hills with a
5(ore heart. We had set much store by
the outfit and intended to come in for
an equal distribution at the parting
of the ways. Had I known then, what
I larned later. I would have taken
osession of the train of wagons.
and let their cdheers and t eamlste:s 2'o
o the lad and report.ed no enemy ni
to the rivers further in our rear. We
all crossed over. feeling well rested by
our few days halt, and continued our
journey westward.

FLYEIR BREIAKS RBICORD.
Makes Seventy Mile Voyage, Longest
on This Continent.--Tries Fancy
Manoeuvers.
Washington, July 20.--Establish
ing a new record for aviation in
America, Orville Wright in the
Wright aeroplane late today at Fort
Meyer made a spectacular flig:ht of
one' hour. 20 minutes, 45 seconds in
duration. Th.e longest previous flight
*was of 74 minutes, made by Mr.
Wright at Fort Meyer last fall.
During the 'entire flight the machine
was under perfeet- control but several
times appeared to the spectators to
be on the point of diving forward.
The machine traveled a distance of
about 70 miles. it was estimated by
Wilbur Wright, and at one time dur
ing the flight the heigibt attained, be
tween 260 and 280 feet. exceeded the
ihest point ever attained by a
heavier-than-air machine on this con
tinent.
The most wonderful part of the
flight was the excention of three com
plete "tiziure-eig'hts." w:hich required
'a1'f'ul manob euvering in directing the
mahine.
A thrill passed through the specta
ors as the white fly'er, appar'ently be
einig' to dive to the earth, would
regain its equilibrium andl speed on
ward ;iround1 the oval above the pa
iade ground. After rounding~ the
~ouse half a hundred times. the avi
ator directed t:he machine around the
course in small double circles of
~"figure-eight.'' It was the first time
uring this season, and the second
time during his career that he has ex
e'nted this manoeuver.

W. F. Ewart, Johnstone-St., New

I used Doan 's Kidney Pills with such
good results that I publicly recoin
nnended them. Today I think just as
~highly of this remedy and I hope
other sufferers from kidney trouble
.will give it a trial. For some time my
kidneys were disordered and I suf
fered a g-rea.t deal from pain across
'the small of my back. The kidney se
cretions contained a sedim ent, were
unnatural and so frequent in passage
as to oblige me to arise several times
at night. I tried several remedies but
obtained no benefit and when I had
Doan 's Kidney Pills brought to my
attention I procured a box at WV. E.
Pelham & Son 's drug store. I used
them aceodn to directions and in a
