Warriors Once, Pals Now.
Two veterans of the Civil war sat
side by side on a long wooden bench
at the city hospital the other day.
One had worn the blue, the other
the gray. With forty-one others they
were waiting the wagon to take them
"over the hills to the poor house." j
"It's a pity," said the Union man,
as tears welled up in his eyes, "that
an old soldier who fought four years
.for his country has to go to the poor
house. It was on Sherman's march
to the sea?how well I remember it!
?that I was wounded the last time.
A rebel sharpshooter plunked me in
the neck at Rome, Ga.*' *
' " * u " Qnii + Viorn cnl

dier, "it is quite likely that I shot
you, for I fired many a volley into
the Yankee ranks before I myself fell
on the field of that battle."
The old soldiers were Charles
Wolf, aged seventy-four, who was a
member of the First Alabama Cavalry
of the Southern army, and Den|
nis Chapman, who enlisted from Cinr
cinnati.
While waiting for the wagon each
veteran showed his wounds to the
other. Wolf had bullet marks on his
head and left hip and Chapman had
scars on his neck, his right side and
left leg. He had been in the hospital
for several months. Chapman
who is seventy-eight years old had
been at the Soldiers' Home at Dan*
<7 ville, 111., but said he was ashamed
to go back there as his conduct had
not been creditable. He expressed
hope that he would be able to get out
of the poor house as soon as his next
pension check arrived.
Near the old soldiers listening to
their conversation, sat Gerald Hogan,
.-v also formerly of Mempnis. Alter
they had recounted their war experiences,
Hogan said:
"I am seventy-five years old now,
and ten years ago I was worth $50,000.
I had been a successful druggist
in Memphis. I was induced to
invest $30,000 in a railroad, to be
built into Memphis. The scheme fail
ed and I lost all. I then signed a
bond for a friend, he jumped the
bail, and I was forced to give up an ?
other $5,000.
"Misfortune followed mistfortune;
my relatives all died and my money
disappeared and here I am without
a cent."
Just then the wagon rolled up and
the two old soldiers, arm in arm,
marched out and took their seats together
in the covered vehicle. They
? were followed by Hogan and the forty
others. ?Exchange.
Hostess Was Badly Fooled.
A "farmer party" was recently
held in Chicago, the invitations read,
ing: "Please come like farmers and
wear farmer's clothes." The hostess
who hadn't been near a farm for
I twenty years thought that the guests
would ride to the party in ox carts
and wear overalls or other working
clothes. To her great surprise, they
came in automobiles and wore regulation
full dress clothes. All of
which goes to show that it is a great
compliment nowadays to be called a
' "farmer."
HUNDREDS DISAPPEAR.
Exactly 3,500 New York Persons Left
Their Homes in 1911.
During the year 1911 the New
York police were called to the aid
of families from which some members
had disappeared exactly 3,500
times, and during this same time approximately
1,000 women, most of
them young girls ranging in age from
fourteen to twenty years, have utterly
disappeared. Nor does this
number cover all the young women"
who drop out of the world of their
acquaintances suddenly. The police
say that not more than half the
"" "nl (Jioonnooranripc arP fnrmallv
(Jtlliai ui>9a|/i;^ui uuwu v
reported.
"During 1911," says a police official,
commenting on the figures, "we
have been confronted with hundreds
of cases similar in every degree to
that of Dorothy Arnold. Many other
cases are just as baffling as hers.
The young girls left absolutely no
trace behind. They made no preparations
for departure, and few have
since been heard from. We maintain
a bureau of missing persons especially
to carry on this work, of search.
"Our investigations show that
there are four reasons which cover
most of the disappearances: First,
severe home restraint; second, extreme
poverty; third, theatrical aspirations;
fourth, lured away."
Under a Serious Charge.
Spartanburg, Jan. 18.?The complaint
was filed Wednesday in the
suit of certain former stockholders
of the Farmers' Fertilizer company,
| against A. O. Simpson, the secretarytreasurer.
They charge that in violation of his
duty as trusted officer and in violation
of the obligation which he owed
to the stockholders, he ascertained
what the company's property could
be sold for, but instead of informing
them of the true state of affairs, kept
the facts concealed and misinformed
thp stockholders and led them to be
lieve by his statements that the affairs
of the company were in an embarrassing
condition, thereby inducing
the stockholders to sell their
stock at much less chan he knew he
would realize for the stock and at
much less than it was actually worth,
and that he purchased all or nearly
all of the stock from the individual
stockholders and then sold it together
with the property of the company at
a profit, and that Mr. Simpson increased
his profits still further by
retaining for himself a large number
of accounts due to the company and a
large number of tons of fertilizer on
hand.
The stockholders demand that Mr.
Simpson be required to account to
them for his acts and to pay them
the difference between the sum he
paid for the stock purchased by him
and the amount realized by the sale
of the property.
The complaint was sworn to by Mr.
B. J. Vaughan.
HEN TURKEY FIGHTS COBRA.
Protects Her Brood from Snake and
' Recovers from Bite.
London, Jan. 4.?The Field publishes
an interesting account of a
.fight between a cobra and a turkey,
written by the Rev. C. K. Towgood
from Selangor.
"I was gardening one morning,"
he writes, "when I heard the hen
turkey in violent conflict with what
I thought must be a fowl or duck,
frti. oho haH a vnnne hrood and was
1V1 0UV fc* J
very savage over it. I went up to
see what I could do. It was a huge
cobra, the most deadly of snakes.
She pecked him savagely over and
over agaan. He seemed quite frightened
when I called out. He scented
danger, reared his head and hood
and bit her all round the eye. We
killed the snake without much difficulty.
I quite expected to see the
turkey drop dead, but she followed
her brood, scratching her face with
her claws."
After a time the turkey got drowsy
as the result of the bite. Mr. Towgood
proceeds: "I rubbed her head
over with turmeric and gave her repeated
doses of whiskey and ammonia.
She got more and more
drowsy and at last lay down to die,
as I thought. This was about six or
seven hours after the bite. I went
up stairs for a little while and to my
surprise on coming down again I
found her staggering about the yard
with her little brood. It was really
'mother love' that helped to bring
j her around.
"vvnile sne lay aimosi unwusuuus
the little ones came around the yard
squealing for her. She answered
them and jumped off the veranda,
where I had put her. In a few minutes
she was quite well again."
Ramage Succeeds Rice.
Columbia, Jan. 22.?The governor
has appointed the Hon. C. J. Ramage,
of Saluda, a member of the State
board of education from the 2nd Congressional
district, vice Mr. H. F.
Rice resigned. This latter was chosen
as judge by the legislature the
other day.
TLKD TO RAILROAD TRACK.
Girl Placed in Peril After Refusing j
to Become a Bride.
Pittsburg, Jan. 21.?Julia Stematz, j
15 years old, daughter of a miner,
has roused the countryside near her
home at Oakdale by her story of how
two strange men held her up at the
point of revolvers, demanded that she
become the bride of one, and then
after she had indignantly refused,
marched her in zero weather and
snow for 12 miles and tied her to
the railroad tracks. She was released
just as a train came rushing down
upon her.
"I never saw the men before," said
Julia. "When they tied me to the
rails, I was cold and frightened, and
in my terror I saw phantom trains
bear down upon me. In desperation
I started to pray. After what seemed
a great time some one came. I think
it was one of my captors. He cut the
rope, raised me up, and I started to
run and kept on running.
"Down the tracks I ran until I
reached town. I went to the first
house I could see and told my story.
The woman there sent me to a neighbor's.
A constable was called and a
search began for my tormenters. I
stayed all night at the home of a
Mrs. Malone, and then came home
yesterday morning."
TO COLLECT BACK TAXES.
Action of Nashville Citizens Against
Alleged Liquor Dealers.
Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 22.?Sevral
citizens of Nashville, headed by the
Rev. H. B. Carre, president of the
Tennessee Anti-Saloon League, and
W. R. Hamilton, superintendent, in
their capacity as taxpayers to-day filed
a bill in chancery seeking to mandamus
City Comptroller Andrews to
assess and collect back privilege taxes
from 683 soft drink dealers for the
norin/i Hiirine* which thev held federal
liquor licenses between the date of
State-wide prohibtion, July 1, 1909,
and January 1, 1912.
The amount sought to be collected
is $432,539, the charge against the
several places ranging from $20 to
| $1,250, according to the time the
places were in business, on the basis
| of $500 a year, the tax effective
when prohibition became operative.
The bill states that since July 1.
1909, 683 persons have been openly
engaged in the liquor business in
Nashville, that this has been known
by the defendant; that they have
taken out federal licenses but the
defendant has failed to collect taxes.
The law in Tennessee, act of 1909,
makes the holding of a federal license
prima facie evidence of doing a li
quor business.
Chancellor John Allison granted a
writ of alternative mandamus ordering
the city comptroller to collect
the privileges or come into court and
show cause for not doing so.
FINDS HIS MOTHER.

Mourned as Dead for Many Years,
Man Learns Mother is Alive.
Waxhaw, Jan. 22.?Mr. Ralph Carraway
was a happy young man last
evening, when he boarded the train
in Waxhaw, to go as fast as it would
take him to see his mother, whom he
had not seen since childhood, and
whom he never expected to see again.
The life-story of young Carraway
IiLA o nomonno
1 CdUS 11 XVC^ CL 1 V/IUUIIV/V*
In 1902; Ralph Carraway and his
sister, when they both were small,
were "put in the orphanage at Charlotte.
They had no remembrance of
their father, who had died some years
before. The boy had not been in
the orphanage long before he ran
away, and drifted about, finally settling
with Mr. A. A. Haigler, of Waxhaw.
For the past ten years he has
made his home with Mr. Haigler,
working with him day by day in the
blacksmith shop, and was looked on
as almost-one of the family.
Ralph Carraway had often said if
his mother was alive, he did not know
it. He had not heard a word from
her or about her for ten years, and
it was his belief that she was dead.
The little sister, who was with him
in the orphanage, now a grown young
lady, he learns, is alive, and she and
the old mother live together at Gum
Neck.
Young Carraway appears to be
about 21 or 22 years old. He is industrious,
honest, kind, and will be

as well at the old Waxhaw
blacksmith shop, where for these
, many years he has been at the flanfing
forge and has made the anvil
ring.
Geese Opposed to Woman Suffrage.
Beloit, Wis., Jan. 22.?The cackling
of geese at the Beloit poultry
and pet stock show prevented Miss
Caroline McGill, instructor in political
economy at the University of Wisconsin,
from giving a talk on woman
suffrage. 'After trying for fifteen
minutes to make herself heard Miss
McGill yielded to the geese. The lecture
was given after the geese had
been removed.

| OVER UNDERWOOD'S PROTEST.
Committee Reports Public Buildings
Bill Carrying 16 Millions.
Washington, Jan. 19.?The house
committee on public buildings and"
grounds to-day decided to report an
omnibus public buildings bill carrying
$16,000,000. The committee
voted to restrict each member of congress
to one public building.
Chairman Underwood, of the ways
and means committee, and other
^ - 1 J/SMM A Ot>t?
UUUSt; itJttucis, auviacu agaiuov auj
public buildings bill. Mr. Underwood
made a speech before the committee
several weeks ago, in which
he indicated that should the committee
report a bill, it would undoubtedly
be a matter for a caucus deliberation.
The original estimates for public
buildings aggregated more than $30,000,000.
The Light Was There.
A well known New York clubman
was found by a police officer very
late one night in a pitiable state of
intoxication. The wretched fellow
stood beneath a lamppost, which he
was kicking with might and main.
Slightly amused, the policeman
watched him a moment. Then he
said:
1 "Here, sir, what are you doing
there?"
No reply. Only?bang, bang, bang,
?the tipsy one dealt the lamppost
three more kicks.
"What are you doing?" repeated
the policeman.
The man delivered another quick
volley of very furious kicks, and
then, looking up, he said:
| "Oh, I know she's in an rigni,
j 'cause" there's h?hie?a light upI
stairs."
