The particulars pt the affair ware
furnished the CxttLby Corporal R. W.
Gossett, who was an age witness, and
. are as follows: I
At rooming
a squad composefToT Corporal Gossei l,
Privatae
left Ibis dty for purpose of ar
be at bisJalber’s home near. Luella.
The party hoped W-Siake lira arrest
without any trouble, but they bad
orders from theiraffioers to bring the
deserter back if be., was found, anti
they ware prepared la obey orders. ’
It was thia® o'clock before the Diols,
ioson place was reached, aad Corporal
Gossett placed hit men around the
bouse and awaited tbe coming of day,
when it wesexpecledDlohinson wwild
come out. ' harass**- j
All wm sssifetN M grata ir thf
farmer’s cottage, Without • nothing
but theaigbing of tofWiuds through
the plots aad an occasional note from
some leathered songster broke the
stillnem of the morning hours. The I
landscape wo bathed in tbe bright
and baling effulgence of but
the quietude was toon to be broken by
the report of a rifle and the dying
groans of a human being.
When the inmates of the house
awoke they must bare detected —ths
presence of the determined guard sur
rounding the place, for ths door oped*
ed -ad Dickinson and two other de;
carters, Moore and Kitchens, stepped
out heavily armed with winchester
rifles and pistols.
Corporal Gossett recognised tbe
men and called on them to surrender,
which command they disregarded.
Borne tried to make thejx escape but
Dickinson raised his winchester to
fire upon Gossett as soon as be could
get a shot. A brother of Dickinson’s
came out of the bouse and happened
to get between Dickinson and Gossett>
and Gossett was unable to use , his
Springfield without shooting an in
nocent man.-.
Private Marsh saw tbe danger
threatening bis corporal, and remem
bering tbe orders raised his rifle to bis
shoulder, took a hasty aim and press
ed tbe trigger. There was a loud re
port and without a cry Dickinson
fiank to the ground.
In the confuseion that followed the
other deserters fled to the woods and
made tbeir escape.
The corporal and his squad went to
the fallen man and found him mor
tally wounded. The bullet entered
Dickinson’s neck just at the base of
tbe skull and came out of bis jaw,
tearing one side of bis face almost en
tirely away.
At last account Dickinson was alive,
but his chances for recovery are very
slim.
Corporal Gossett brought his squad
back to Camp Northen and reported
the affair to the officers, and while it
is deeply regretted by all, Marsh
was justifiable in what be did
Dickinson was about 23 years es age,
and left camp over six weeks since.

Improper F»H In Addition to Bm
uhr Rations Partly Responsible-
WabhimotoM, Oct. 13.—Tbe testimo
ny of Maj Geid Iraham before the
ioYoattg«Uq< flvmmission was com
plated yeater&y.
. »Major Graham attributed the illness
at Camp Alger Io the overcrowding of
tl)ua camp MR| the improper food used
by tb< aql<tt«i< in addition to tbeir
regtidaf raliohs. |
Tbe general Mid it was necessary to
issue orders fixing penalties for viola
tion of regulations in this respect.
Instances of inattention on the part
of vcluntee&oflicers were given, and
Major Graham recommended that
each volunteer regiment be command'
ed by regular army officers.
Major Gcabam -thought the want of
water fe» bathing purposes as well as
the babUe ottbe men in. eating other
food than that prescribed by the regu
lations had a deleterious influence. In
tbe beginning of tbe history of tbe
camp iheri were no bathing facilities,
but later titq men were marcbed seven
miles id'bikjlbde once a week for baths,
Tbs divUfoolfMpitala were established
soon and he considered these hospit
als superior to regimental hospitals,
as they were always in the bands
of experisnced army physicians.
There had been no lack of medical
supplies, but some of tbe medical at
tmidaiHHrere inexperienced and in
effioleiit. A portion were especially
negligent in furnishing descriptive
lilts when patients were sent from reg
{mental to division hospitals, and
these Were essential in promoting the
welfare if tbo men.
General Graham stated that while
the commissary supplies were plenti
ful the men were ofleh without tbe
prescribed food because the regimental
officers were not sufficiently impressed
with the importance of drawing their
food. ——
Thia wm especially true in the mat
ter of fresh meat.' In one case an offi
cer of a Kansas regiment had refused
to <txy> Iresh beef rslioua until he
could have a saw with which to cut i|
up Tbe general also found many of
them to be ignorant of tbe methods of
preparing tbe requisitions, notwith
standing a school has been regularly
organised for their education in these
matters. Re said that the corps was
for a time short on wagons for trans*
portation, owing to tbe shipments to
Florida. This deficiency bsd occa
sioned some hardships to the men.

NEGRO DYING OUT HERR.
Its Only Hope Is Emiffration to Africa,
Says Bishop Turnsr.
Bishop Henry M. Turner of Georgia
is an enthusiast on tbe subject of ne
gro emigration—a movement with
which be hae been closely identified
for several yeare. Eventually, be
thinks, the disouMion of the question
will bring about a grand exodus of
negroes to Africa. It is emigration or
extermination, in his Opinion. % Bo
said today In an interview :
"Africa is the negro’s fatherland,
the sooner be goes there tbe better for
him. Statistics show tb»t tbe negro
race is dying out, and it certainly is
not-growing healthier, wealtber, hap
pier, wiser, or anything else which
goes to make life worth living. Africa
proffers the greatest poasibiliiTes on
earth for the negro 4w emigrate ti,
that is, if be has any . idea .of being
giything this side ol tbe day of gen
eral account giving. Even nature io
invoking tbe negro to return to his
God given home. ~
The trade winds which oooe blew
.from 300 to 400 miles out at sea from
the west coast of Africa have mysteri
ously chsugod their course, and are
now fanning tbo shores, moderating
the equatorial climate, diminishing
the beat and humidity and driving
away the death dealing fevers.and ma*
laria.. I believe this is tbe work pf God
preparing Africa for the teception of
her children who are suffering in this
country-end who must return sooner
or later. It I bad $5,000,000 I would
invest every cent in ships, and would
see that every negro who wished to go
to Africa got there Now, tome of my
people want to know why Ido not go
to Africa and stay there. I believe I am
needed here, but tbe moment I can.
get 50,000 or 100,000 negroes to go
with me I am off like a quarter horse,
and will think it the best days’s work
I ever accomplished.”
‘‘Has tbe African emigration move
ment met with the approval of a ma
jority of the raoeT”
"No, indeed ; but, on the contrary, a
lot of ignarant negroes have opposed
it from its very inception. They
prate about tbe sickness of Africa and
many other things of which they are
in dense ignorance. Tbe thoughtful
and intelligent of tbe white race in
dorse tbe emigration policy, and it
will yet prove a success and of untold
blessing to tbe negro race.”—Wash
ington Correspondent N. Y Sun.
A Barefaced Bunko Game.
One evening while Colonel Riche’s regi
ment was stationed at the fair grounds a
bronxed and broad shouldered Texan walk
ed into the office Os the Commercial hotel
and, squaring himself at a table, began
the task of composing a letter. It was ev
idently a hard job. He stuck out his
tongue, scratched his head, changed pens
a dozen times and went through all the
contortions of a man with a bad case of
St. Vitus’ dance before he concluded the
epistle. Then he flshed out a black wal
let, unwound a strap a yard long and ex
tracted a |5 bill, which be carefully folded
up with the sheet. By that time the per
formance had excited the sympathetic in
terest of several bystanders, and one of
them pointed out the mail box in the
corner.
‘‘Just put your letter in there, my
friend,” be said.
"Hey?" exclaimed the Texan, glancing
UP.
’ ‘I said to drop yopv letter in that box, '*
repeated the other. The big immune bent
upon him a look of unutterable scorn-
"Well, I’ve heerd tell of all kinds of
O)ty bunko games,” he said slowly, "but
that’s ths durndeet, barefaoest one of the
hull lot! Don’t you say nothing, now, or
I’ll have to smash you. Say, mister,” he
called to tbe clerk, "kin you tell me where
the postmaster keeps his shop?”
He was given the proper directions and
returned beaming.
"Say,” be asked one of the hotel staff
confidentially, ‘‘do I reely look as green as
all that—like I’d bite at sech a game?”
He was assured that he looked like a
thoroughbred and went away happy.
“Hopetq dielf I ever give any more tips
tp a Texan,” was the c ment of tbe gen
tleman who pointed " tbe box.—New

Mr. H.A. Paas, Bowman, Ga., writes:
“One of my children was very delicate and
we despaired of raising IL For months

rest until we began the use of Pitts’ Car

Making Punctuation Buy-
Some boys and girls find it difficult
to learn the proper use of commas,
periods, semicolons and other punctu

apt to become discouraged and say:
*\>b, well, whal’o the use, anyway!”
Rut when they see the absurdity of
tome sentences whose meaning has
totally been changed by improper
punctuation they will perhaps become
ilpbued with new energy and resolve
to stick to the little dots and dashes
ugitii they are mastered. Tbe example
herewith given was “seC up” by an

THE EICBLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but alto
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Sybup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fio Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Catt
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satiafaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acta on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
i effects, please remember the name of
