FAMOUS DUEL RECALLED.
The duel between Andrew Jueksen
und Charles Dickinson wuh fought on the
banka of Red river, a Birmll stream near
what is now tho little town of Adnir-
vilie, Ky. Among the people of that
section the details of the duel have been
bunded down from generation to (fener
ation, until it is n neighborhood legend,
clothed in all the romance which such
folklore usually acquire, yet remarka
bly clear und true, even to tho small
details.
Jackson was one of the muBt re
nowned duelists ns well us notable
characters in many ways in United
States history. Rut all ngreo that he
was a man ef quick temper, firm con
victions, nnd always willing and ready
to fight. Hir severest criticH pay him
homage for his fidelity and devotion to
his wife, and it is a sad fact that their
marriage was under such circumstan
ces as to give rise to a scandal that was
magnified and used as political cupitul
during his first campaign for {’resident.
it was in defense of his wife's honor
thnt he fought his most notable duel.
IIis demeanor in this memorable en
counter is a true index to his implaca
ble enmity and his absolute fearless
ness.
At the time the quarrel with Dickin
son arose Jackson had located nt Nash
ville, Tenn. At the age of 21 he was
sent as public prosecutor to Pennsylva
nia, then a wild and unsettled country,
where lawlessness held sway, and
where his life was in almost constant
danger, yet he is credited with having
discharged his duties fearlessly and
well, nnd rapidly made himself one of
the foremost men of the times.
On reaching Nashville Jackson se
cured hoard with a Mrs. Donalson,
widow of John Donalson, a pioneer who
had been killed by the Indians several
years before. To the couple had been
born a daughter, Rachel, and, accord-

ing to the custom of those early days,
she had married at a very tender age,
hewis Robards being her choice for a
husband. Robards is charged with hav
ing a bearish disposition, and contin
ually found fault with his beautiful
young wife, and w.as insanely jealous of
any man who spoke pleasantly to her.
At one time he sent her back to her
mother, whore she remained for a year
before a mutual friend effected a re
conciliation.
So it was that when Jackson, then a
young lawyer, took up his abode in tho
Donalson home it was not long until
Robards grew jealous of him. So vio
lent was Robards’ passion that he again
sent his fair wife back to her mother,
and, two years later, in 1791, ,the Leg
islature of Virginia passed a bill author
izing tho Supreme Court of Kentucky
to try before a jury the suit for divorce
which Robards had brought.
After filing his petition Robards took
no further action for two years, but in
the meantime Jackson and Mrs. Rob-
arsls had been married, evidently be
lieving the divorce had been granted.
When Robards did really secure his di
vorce on Sept. 27, 1793, Jackson and
his wife were publicly married again.
Never was there the slightest sus
picion of conjugal faithlessness against
either Jackson or liis wife, save the
ambiguous conditions under which they
were married. Yet the public never
forgot or ceased to gossip, and it is said
that the overhearing of some of the
tules that were being told really caused
Mrs. JackHon's death.
During the first campaign her hus
band made for the Presidency, when
storieH were told and printed through
out the country that form a pitiable
commentary on the political ethics of
the day, Mrs. Jackson was in her room
in an inn at Nashville, and overheard
some men in an adjoining room discuss
ing her with easy assurance, and proba
bly recounting in detail the slanders
that were being circulated. The horror
of the revelation—for up to that time
Jackson had been successful in his ef
fort to shield her from all knowledge of
the scurrilous stories—brought on a
heart attack, and she died within a few
duyR.
Jackson's friends declared that Dick
inson, grown jealous of Jackson’s in
creasing popularity, had determined to
drive him from Tennessee, and seized
upon the marital cloud as a means to
that end. In any event, it is charged
that he circulated the current stories,
and bad blood was engendered, but not
to the point of an open challenge. Yet
only an opportunity was necessary, and
this was given in a quarrel arising over
a bet made cn a horse race.
The duel was fought early in the
morning of May 30, 1806, writes M. E.
Bacon in The Tennessean, and any one
living in or near Adairville can show
you the spot, point out the houses
where both duelists and their attendants
stopped the preceding night, and other
items of interest connected with the af
fair. Why Adairville was selected as
the meeting-place is not clear, unless it
was because it is just over the Ken-
tucky-Tennessee line, and the fighters
wanted the encounter to take place in
another State than the one in which
they lived.
Dickinson was a famous shot with
the pistol, ami between the time of the
acceptance of the challenge and the
meeting he did everything possible to
daunt his prospective adversary by ex
hibitions of his wonderful accuracy and
quickness, in his home he had a dum
my prepared of about the same size and
general build as the tall, spare form of
i Gen. Jackson, and would amuse his
friends who called to see him by ask
ing: “And where shall l hit Gen. Jack-
son this time?’’ No sooner would they
reply, “In the eye,” or “In the heart,”
than his pistol would ring out and the
bullet would go straight to the spot
named on the target.
On the road to the duelling ground
he entertained his companions and
those they would meet by shooting
small objects, even cutting small cords
in two as they swung free, or hitting
coins that were dipped into the air.
At one tavern where the uarty stopped
Dickinson went through his perform
ance and left the severed string with
the tavern keeper, saying: “If Gen.
Jackson comes along this road, be kind
enough to show him that.” But these
things did not disconcert Old Hickory.
Jackson and his party were the first
to reach the neighborhood of the duel
ling ground, and they stopped at the
home of a Mr. Miller, where travelers
were wont to be cared for. About an
hour later Dickinson and his party
stopped at the same place, hut finding
the others already there they wont a
short distance further, to the home of
a Mr. Harris, a son-in-law of Miller,
where they were taken in for the night.
Both of these houses are standing to
day. The Miller house is of brick, and
the earthquake of 1811 so badly cracked
the walls that it had to be largely re
constructed. The Harris house, a
rambling two-story frame affair, is
Btill extant, though plainly showing the
ravages of time.
The next morning dawned bright and
clear, in sharp contrast to the rainy,
disagreeable day before. Promptly at
the appointed time the principals, with
their seconds and a ourgeon each, met
near the Harris home. Adairville peo
ple will tell you that the place selected
was a pawpaw thicket, and that be
fore the duel could proceed the bushes
had to be cut away with penknives.
Be that as it may, the preliminaries
were soon arranged and a coin was
tossed for choice of positions. Dickin-
s in won and chose to stand facing west,
which put the sun at his back, giving
hin- quite an advantage. The distance
was measured off and pegs set for each
man to place his toe against. At the
word “Fire!” Dickinson levelled his pis
tol and pulled the trigger. The bullet
sped true and hit Jackson in the breast,
breaking two ribs, an injury which
weakened and troubled him for the rest
of his life. He showed so little evidence
of being hit, however, that Dickinson
cried out: “My God, 1 have missed
him!”
Dickinson, so tho tale of the Adair
ville people goes, then stepped away
from his peg, but his seconds forced
him back and made him standstill until
Jackson could fire. The latter calmly
raised his pistol, took deliberate aim,
and Dickinson fell, with a mortal
wound. Ho was taken back to the Har
ris home and made as comfortable as
possible all day in the shade of an
enormous elm that stood in the yard.
When night came on he was moved into
tjie house, but by that time his vitality
was nearly spent and he died about 9
o’clock. Dickinson’s grave is in a
small field near Nashville on the Bosely
or Whitworth lands, unmarked at the
present time save for a small plain slab
on which is no lettering to indicate
whose tomb it is.
Jackson walked from the duelling
ground back to the Miller home. On
the way he passed a spring-house, where
a maid was putting jugs of milk into
the water. He asked for a cup of but
termilk, which was given him, and it
was while drinking it that someone no
ticed blood from his wound and called
attention to it. Jackson replied \v*th
an oath not to mention it, as he wanted
Dickinson to die without even the com
fort of knowing that he had been hit,
and continued: “I would have lived
long enough to kill him if he had shot
me through the heart.”
Dickinson’s friends have always in
sisted that Jackson tricked his oppo
nent in the duel —that Jackson, who
was very tall and slight of figure, wore
purposely an unusually loose-fitting
coat, und thereby Dickinson was de
ceived as to the location of his adver
sary’s heart and aimed a trifle to one
side.
Chronic Stomach Trouble Cured.
There is nothing more discouraging
than a chronic disorder of the stomach.
Is it not surprising that many suffer for
years with such an ailment when a per
manent cure is within their reach and
may be had for a trifle? “About one
year ago,” say P. H. Beck, of Wake-
lee, Mich., “I bought a package of
Chamberlain’s Tablets, and since using
them I have felt perfectly well. I had
previously used any number of differ
ent medicines, but none of them were
of any lasting benefit.” For sale by

INDIGESTION OVERCOME
Overcome by Simple Remedy.
Hurried and carelesB habits of eat
ing, Irregular meals and foods that
do not harmonize, tend to weaken
the digestive organs and result In
different forms of stomach trouble.
If you are one of the unfortunates
who have drifted into this condition,
eat simple foods only, slowly, regu
larly and take Vlnol, our delicious
cod liver and Iron tonic.
Mrs. H. J. Smith, Thomasville, Ga.,
says: "I suffered from a stomach
trouble, waH tired, worn out and ner
vous. A friend advised me to take
Vlnol. My stomach trouble soon dis
appeared and now I eat heartily and
have a perfect digestion and I wish
every tired, weak woman could have
Vlnol, for I never spent any money
In my life that did me so much good.”
The recovery of Mrs. Smith was
due to the combined action of the J
medicinal elements of tho cods’ livers
—aided by the blood making and
strength creating properties of tonic
iron, which are contained In Vlnol.

A Bit of Counsel.
I love young girls—you know I do.
It is a trick I had of old, and it grew
upon me with the passing years; but,
loving them as I do, I want to see
them helpful and lovable and sweet. I
want to see them slow to wound an
other’s feelings, and quick as sunshine
atter rain with sympathy and tender,
womanly ways. I want to see them
brave, yet gentle; gay, yet kind; mod
est, yet self-reliant; fun-loving, yet
never loud or rude. I want to hear the
young men, in speaking of them from
time to time as they sit near me on the
train, apeak of something besides their
extravagance and their desire for show.
I want the world to be sweeter for
their tarrying in it, as a room is sweeter
that holds a blooming flower. And
what should make you sweet, dear girl?
Not fashionable gowns, nor dainty
clothing, nor beauty alone, nor grace
nor wealth, so much as usefulness and
constant thought of others. Don t grow
to think too much of what the world
would say about you; think more of the
real than any seeming, and don’t let the
lily of innocence wither in your hand.
Don’t be a flirt! It is better to be a
little bit old-fashioned than to know
too much of the ways of the world.
Don't be over cautious; it is better for
a young girl to be outspoken and quick
to voice her mind than to be polite and
guileful and hard to catch napping.

In the Boll Weevil Section.
W. F. Massey in The Progressive Farmer.
“Boll weevil has us; useless to plant
cotton. What do you think of Spanish
peanuts as a money crop in place of
cotton?”
I think that while you may grow pea
nuts, you do not want anything “in the
place of cotton.” In the sections where
the boll weevil has been longest they
have found that they can still grow cot
ton if they practice a good rotation of
crops and farm well. Of course, all
cotton, and every year cotton on the
same land, iB out of the question, and if
the boll weevil will only force good
farming it will be a blessing in disguise.
Farmers make money at farming when
they farm well in parts of the country
where cotton has never been grown,
and farmers in the South can do it if
they farm well. Stick to cotton, fight
the boll weevil, rotate crops, grow feed
for stock and improve the land by the
use of legumes, and after a little while
you will get over the scare.
