Lieutenant General Polk.
Lieutenant Oeneral Polk, of tuc
Western army of the Confederacy,
was also Episcopal bishop of Ixhils
lam. and atood very high as a church
man But the exalted position which
he occupied In no way Interfered
with his fighting qualities when he
became Involved in a serious diffi
culty with his superior officer, Gen.
Broxton Bragg, growing out of the
eventualities of the battle of Chlcka
mauga, he showed that he had both
the ability and disposition to defend
himself under all circumstances.
General Bragg achieved a magnifi
cent victory at the battle of Ohlcka
mauga, which. If It had been followed
up promptly, would have resulted in
nothing less than the total annihil
ation of ftosecrans'B army. As It was
the I'nton forces, badly defeated and
demoralised, fled precipitately from
the field, leaving their dead and
wounded, and retired behind thelf de
fenses at Chaitanooga.
Thus the Federal army was deileg
ed by the Confederates and had hut
one line of communications with
their base of supplies which was at
Bridgeport, Ala., and which was some
distance away. Moreover, Bridge
port was connected with Chattanooga
by V single mountain road that was
totally unfit for the transportation of
military stores.
Gen. Joe Wheeler.
I While the Federal army was thus
! shut up in Chattanooga a wagon train
I of 1.000 wagons, with supplies of all
l kinds for their relief was surprised
and burned. In the Sequatchie by the
Confederate general, Joe Wheeler.

THE BTRATFORD-UPON-AVON
PLAYERS.
The noted Hhakeapearean Company
from England, known as Stratford
upon-Avon Players, are now making
their first tour of thla country, and will
come to the Grand next Wednesday,
for a matinee and evening perform
ance.
There are forty actors In thla com
pany, making It the largest Shake
spearean organization that has visited
these shores, and the actors, almost
without exception, have taken part In
the Stratford festivals for the past six
or eight years. The two performances
to be given In thla city are as follows:
Matinee, "As You IJke If," evening.
"The Merry Wives of Windsor.”
from long Intimacy with the plays
these actors have Shakespeare at their
finger tips so that they give their per
formances with a remarkable zV»t and
spirit. It was the quality which led
Dr. Page, the United State ambassa
dor to Great Britain, to write: "To se
rious students of Shakespeare, and to
all lovers of the drama, I think no more
interesting gexpertence can come than
to see the most Intelligent and earnest
and even acting of this company."
The Stratford Players are particu
larly well adapted to give these plays,
for, though the company has develop
ed a great number of stars, its directors
insist on aiming at ensemble work.
For their first visit to this country
they have obtained art entirely new
scenic equipment. The properties and
costumes they use have been passed
on by the College of Heraldy and are
historically correct in every detail.
With two cars for the company, a din
ing car, and four baggage cars to ac
commodate the equipment. It requires
a special train to move them from city
to city. Seats on sale Monday, 10 a.m.
was one of Infinite peril, as they were
in great danger of being starved out
and having to surrender.
This, then, was the condition of
affairs after the battle of Chickamau
ga. The Confederates had faUed to
follow up their great victory and al
lowed the Federal army to escape
Into Chattanooga, but General Bragg
thought the victory would have been
more decisive if his orders had been
carried out to the letter. He has di
rected General Polk, commanding the
right wing to attack at daylight, but
the courier failed to deliver the order
to General D H. Hill, one of the di
vision commanders.
Oeneral Polk was then Joined by
some of the leading generals or
Bragg's army in complaining to pres
ident of General Davis Bragg’s in
competency In neglecting the pusuit
of Roeecranz. A climax to the trou
ble was reached when General Bragg
ordered Polk detached from his com
mand and directing to report at At
lanta. Thereupon General Polk ap
pealed to the Confederate president
and demanded a court of inquiry. The
matter was settled by Dr. Davis by
appointing General Polk to ar. inde
pendent command, at the head of a
department comprising Alabama, Mis
sissippi and Louisiana.
The Fighting Parson.
Napoleon the Great often spoke of
the importance of taking advantage.of
the opportunity to strike a decisive
blow at the moment of victory and
the almost universal neglect of the
chances of this description which re
sulted in loss of time and the enemy
profiting by it to recoup tots losses.
Recent examples of this were the
great battles of Fredericksburg and
Manassas when, In either Instance,
prompt action in following up the ad
vantages gained would have resulted
in the complete destruction of the
opposing army.
On September 19th at half past
eleven o'clock at night Polk sent or
ders to his division commanders to
attack at day dawn. Major-General
W. H. T. Walker and Major-General
B F. Cheatham were notified but the
courier failed to find Lleut.-Gen. D.
H. Hill, who had been transferred
from the army of Northern Virginia
and who had just arrived on the
ground. General Polk posted sen
tries and had fires built, in order to
direct Oeneral Hill to his headquar
ters, but General Hall's whereabouts
could not be located until 5 a. m.
When General Polk learned that Gen
eral Hill had not been communicated
with, the original orders were given
to Hill's division commanders.
It was then that General Bragg
sent to inquire the cause of the delay
In making the attack. General re
turned a reply In accordance with the
above stated facts and at the samp
time notified that tn consequence of
the difficulty in locating Hill, there
would be still further delay.
At 7:30 a. m., General Polk receiv
ed intelligence from General HUI
that his men were getting their ra
tions. He had left his tent at 3 a.
m to go to General Polk's headquar
ters and thus he had missed the
courier with orders from Polk. He
also missed finding General Polk, to
whom he had not been assigned until
after midnight. He was with hts
division commanders when General
Polk's orders came to them
Thinking his line was at right an
gles to that of General Cheatham.
General Hill notified Genera! Polk
that he could not attack until the
proper alignment was made and his
men had breakfast. Oeneral Polk af
terwards stated that General Hill was
In error tn regard to the position of
Cheatham's line. This Appears to bo
In subatance the cause of the delay,
which proved to be so disastrous to
his career as a commanding officer.
Polk'a Vigorous Defense.
Genera! Bragg, not realizing the
magnificent victory he had won at
Cblckamauga. Is aald to have been
overcome with mortification and fa
tigue and left the field in the com
mand of General James B. Longstreet
who did not feel authorized to pur
sue the enemy Into Chattanooga with
out specific orders to that effect from
hit superior officer. And General
Polk did not fall to make the most
of tbla feature of the situation In his
protest to President Davis against
hJa removal from command.
“Why," he demanded, "on a moon
light night, with hla troops In the
very highest spirits, ready for any
service.” had General Bragg followed
the enemy into Chattanooga. "Gen
eral Bragg did not know what had
happened, and allowed the whole
fruits of this whole victory to pass
frvjm him by the most criminal negli
gence, or, rather Incapacity, for these
nre positions where weakness la
wickedness.
This wholesale denunciation of Gen.
Rragg does not seem altogether mer
ited, since it Is evident that he found
out his error promptly and hastened
to repair the damage but not in time
to prevent the escape of the enemy.
But a commanding general that could
entrap his adversary and come so
near destroying him, Is not a com
plete failure after all. Nevertheless,
General Bragg was destined to be re
lieved of Southern generals Joseph E-
Johnston, one of the greatest of
Southern generals who figured in the
great War of Secession.
Polk Meets a Tragic Death.
General Polk, like Stonewall Jack
son, did not allow his religion to Inter
fere with his fighting when fighting
had to be done. Rather, he summon
ed all of the religious fervor In his
nature to aid him In fighting to the
utmost. "Fight, ever fight,” was his
exhortation to the troops When going
Into action at Chickamauga.
While on a reconnoitering trip to
the top of Kennesaw Mountain, with
Gen Joseph B. Johnston and a group
of general officers, he stood gazing
at the awe-inspiring scene, of the op
posing armies that lay spread out
upon the plain at his feet. As he
stood with eyes riveted on the ani
mated scene, he lingered a moment
after his companions had withdrawn
and a shot fired from a Federal bat
tery struck him squarely In the chest
killing him Instantly. This event oc
curred on June 14th, 1864.
The remains of Bishop-General
lAwnldns Polk, not being able to pass
through the intervening country
which was held by the Federals, were
brought to Augusta for interment.
He was buried here with the highest
honors, military and church. In SL
Paul’s, and a tablet let into the wall,
marks the spot where his ashes re
pose.

Reliable evidence is abundant that women
are constantly being restored to health by
Lydia E. PinkharrTs Vegetable Compound
The many testimonial letters that we arc continually pub
lishing in the newspapers —hundredsof them—are all genu
ine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom from suffering that has come to these
women solely through the use of Lydia E. PinkharrTs
Vegetable Compound.
Money could not buy nor any kind of influence obtain
such recommendations; you may depend upon it that any
testimonial we publish is honest and true—if you have any
doubt of this write to the women whose true names and
addresses are always given, and learn for yourself.
Read this one from Mrs. Waters:
Camden, N.J.—“l was sick for two years with nervous spells, and
my kidneys were affected. I had a doctor all the time and used a
galvanic battery, but nothing did me any good. I was not able to go
, to bed, but spent my time on a couch or in a sleeping-chair, and soon
became almost a skeleton. Finally my doctor went away for his
health, and my husband heard of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetablo
Compound and got me some. In two months I got relief and now I
am like a new woman and am at my usual weight. I recommend
your medicine to every one and so does my husband.”— Mrs. Tillib
\Vateks, 1130 Knight St., Camden, N.J.
And this one from Mrs. Haddock:
Uttca, Ok la. —“ I was weak and nervous, not able to do my work
and scarcely able to be ou my feet. I had backache, headache, palpi
tation of the heart, trouble with my bowels, and inflammation. Since
taking the Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound I am better
than 1 have been for twenty years. I think it is a wonderful medi
cine and I have recommended it to others.”—Mrs. Maky Ann Had
dock, Utica, Oklahoma.
Now answer this question if you can. Why should a
woman continue to suffer without first giving Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial ? You know that
it has saved many others—why should it fail in your case?
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for fe
male ills. No one sick with woman’s ailments
does justice to herself if she does not try this fa
mous medicine made from roots and herbs, it
has restored so many suffering women to health.
Write to LYDIA E.PINKHAM MEDICINE CO.
(CONFIDENTIAL) LYNN, MABB., for advice.
Your letter will be opened, read and answered
by a woman and held in strict confidence.
