The wonderful difference between
the aame landscape in winter and
in summer ia a phenomenon familiar
to all dwellers in the temperate
aones. The two great dements of
change are the presence of snow in
winter and of {eaves and grass in
rammer. If we could look at our
globe from the moon the variation
n ha aspect due to seasonal changes
wawld perhaps be era more strik
ing than it sppears to those upon
its surface.

The diCs rise between 1,700 and
>,OOO feet straight from the era
tar's edge, and, being composed of
gray granite, their aspect would be
entirely different from what it ia
hot for the presence of the lichen.
Coming to leas magnificent but
not lam beautiful scenes, the rocky
pass called the Oolden Oats In the
aelkwstooe National park owes its
rich color and its name to the yel
low lichen covering its lofty walls,
and the indescribable hues of the
rit hot spring terrace arise main
from the presence of minute
plants flourishing in the water that
•rerflowa them.
Considered as a whole, the vegeta
tion of a planet may give it a cnar
aeteriatie aspect as viewed from
■pace. Many have thought that the
led color of Mars may be due to
the existence of red instead of green
vegetation there.
That its broad expanses of forest
and prairie land cause the earth to
reflect a considerable quantity of
grwen light to its neighbor* is indi
cated by the fact that at the time

had a curiously malformed hoof.
"When your horse dies," said the
professor to the old darky, "I will
give you $3 for that hoof If you will
cut it off and bring it to me."
"Very well, sah," was the reply,
and horse and driver disappeared.
Two hours later, when the pro

WILLIAMSTON, N. C, FRIDAY, JANUARY 15.1904.
WAR EXPERIENCE;;
nwwvwvw/vvyvvvvwvMVt
This story was told some years
ago by a congressman to a reporter:
"I was rather young, a mere boy,
in Texas when the war broke like a
storm. Naturally, with my geog
raphy, I went with the Confederacy.
1 was in the artillery. One day we
captured a battery of three braaa
guns. It was given to me to com
mand, and the day I got that bat
tery was tho proudest day ia my
life.
"Such was my anxiety to get into
trouble with those guns' that I drag-
the Yankees
which I found prowling around.
We had a sharp, spitfire time of it
for a few moments, when a lucky
shot from one of mv guns tore a
hole in her in such a fashion that it
let the riTer in, and she filled and
sank.
"Butler had New Orleans at the
time, and, among other things, was
running the papers. Later I read
an account of my brush with the
funboat in one of Butler's journals,
t could not be called an unbiased
statement. It reviled me as a most
abandoned and bloodthirsty char
acter and declared that even after
the gunboat surrendered 1 kept on
pouring shot into her as if my one
purpose in life wss wholesale mur
der. Of course this was not so. I
wouldn't have fired on anybody aft
er he had hauled his fiag down, and
besides that I didn't hare the am
munition to waste.
"After I rejoihed the rest of my
battery following the exploit of the
?inboat I hunted trouble with the
aukees more zealously than ever.
One day I was fully gratified. We
were still in Louisiana. The sun
came up one morning and found
some 10,000 of us facing a largely
superior force of Yankees. We
couldn't hsve crawled out of s fight
even were we so disposed, but no
one suggested any retreat The fact
was we felt quite cocky and were
full of a belief that we could whip
the invaders. Tho fight began, and
I soon had my hearts wish. 1 was
in a peck of trouble with the Yan
kees, 1 and my battery. I had suc
ceeded in attracting the attention
and getting a hearing, as it were,
from three Yankee batteries all at
oncc. They'were a reasonably brisk
outfit, and it didn't take tneih a
minute to get my range. Then it
began to rain sorrow and hail de
spair for my battery.
"To show you how hot those Yan
kees made it ono only need to say
that they wounded or killed forty
of my aixty-six men and diamountcd
two of my brasß beauties in thirty
minutes. You might have planted
corn where my battery stood when
they got through, it was so plowed
and harrowed by the Yankee fire.
"I was in the thick of the battle.
I was standing near the No. 1 gun.
A man of the name of Thompson
was stepping forward with a shot in
his hands to load. Without a word
or cry he suddenly fell forward oq
the gun and then slipped to tho
ground, limn as a wet towel. A can
non ball hail torn through his chest.
"I ordered s man to his place.
Before lie was there a moment a
fragment of shell from out the sky
struck him on top of his head, and
he fell dead by the side of Thomp
son. It was such a whirl of smoke
and roar that I couldn't tell what
was going on at the other £uns,
Iftuch less in - other parta of the
field. I had been orur.] ts hold
my position and liad made up my
mind to hold it while a gun and a
man of my battery held together. I
ordered another to take the place
of the second lying dead under the
gun. This man got there just in
time to receive a rifle buljet in his
mouth. It came ont under his ear.
This man, however, didn't die. I
met him years after the war.
"Three men were all that were
arailabla for thi* especial duty.
They were dead and wounded and
rie, and I took the post myself.
don't know how long it was,
whether one minute or ten, when,
without the slightest feeling of pain
or warning, I was hurt, my legs gave
way, and I sank to the ground. At
the same instant an explosion like
forty batteries all uniting in one
discharge broke loose just to the
rear of me. A column of fire and
smoke shot toward the sky as if a
rolcsno had been loosed by the gen
era} jor and din of battle. It was
my smmunltlon wagon. I bad 9,000
rounds of ammunition In a big army
wagon. It had been placed about
fifty yards to the rear of my bat
terr. When we opened the fight I
had made up my B»ind to stay, and I
had brought up all my ammunition,
resolved tO'win or lose right there.
A shot from the Yankees had ex
ploded it. That was the volcano.
"As I look back I'm not sure
but the chance explosion of my am
of me and my battery. The smoke
swept down and ottered us up liks
a fog. The Yankees ceased firing
on us. They probably thought we
were wiped off tho face of ths ssrth
in the explosion. As the tmoke
drifted on, while it became clesr
sbout the battery, it bung like s
blanket between as and the enemy
snd scted the part of s shield. The
Yankees couldn't ase us, so they
didn't shoot.
'Two of my men earns slong and
dragged me to the tear, out of ths
way of immediate harm.
'''Are you hurt, captain?' asked
one.
"I told him I eouldnt tell. That
was the extent el ay information.
"He tore opsn coat and rest.
My shirt vas white, snd save for
powder Mains and the general grime
of battle it was white still. Not a
drop of blood reddened it. 1 held
ap my left boot.
" 'Pull off thst boot,' I said.
"Tho boot, a high cavalry sort,
came off. Not a twinge of pain, not
a color of blood.
"At this point I broke into a per
spiration. A fear seised me, the like
of which hss never overcome me
since. Hsd I fsinted swsy in the
midst of battle and in view of two
armies ? I felt no wound, was torn
by no pain. It came over me liko
some dream of horror that I waa
unhurt and had fainted, and that
in the sequel of the story I would
be branded a coward from one end
of the war to the other wherever,
soldiers built a campfire.
"I held up the right boot to be
removed. A cupful of blood ran
out 1 was never so glad to see any
thing in my life. 1 would not have
taken gold for a aingle drop of it,
such was ths relief it brought. I
hsd been pierced through the anklo
by a rifle ball.
"When night fell, whils we still
held our lines, we were whipped. It
hsd begun to rain, with s ssd, hope
less drizzle thst took the hesrt out
of a man. I was lying on some
blankets in ous corner of a negro
cabin. Over in another corner, un
der a blanket, lay my dearest friend,
dead. All about were wounded men.
The doctors had turned the place
into a hospital. At last a doctor
whom I knew came in.
"'Never while I'm alive,' I re
plied. I'm too young to talk about
going through life on one leg.'
"Then he told me the army
would have to retreat that night;
that he had no ambulances, no
means of transportation. The
wounded, including myself, would
hare to be left behind. They would
be prisoners to the Yankees.
"All at once, like a landslide, I
thought of Butler and that news
paper account of my firing on the
rinboat after it had surrendered.
made sure Butler would hang mo
like a dog, once he got hands on
me. It was at this juncture when I
determined he shouldn't get me. I
was as strenuously against hanging
as against amputation.
"We were on an old sugar plan
tation. Before the fight I'd seen
aomo rough, two wheeled sugar
carts. I made them hustle about
and get me a mule, a negro and a
sugar cart. They bandaged my leg
and put me in. The last thing the
doctor did waa to give mo a two
ounce bottle of morphine and show
me how to take it. Then he said
'Goodby,' and I could see that he
thought it was forever. lie prol>a
bly figured that if the Yankees did
not kill me the morphine would.
"All that night, all the next day,
all the next night that rough cart
jolted on through the rain. For a
whole thirty-six hours I lived on
morphine. At last jr# got to Shrevc
port. When I was lifted out of th(>
ta»t my ankle waa awollen ta ele

WHY THE JUROR HELD OUT.
■ 1 1 1 •
The ftaerat That Waa Imparted te an
English Chlsf Justice.
The most remarkable case of a
Jury "standing out" against what
seemed irrefutable testimony, and
all through the resolution of one
man, occurred before Chief Justice
Dyer many years ago. He presided
at a murder trial in which every
thing went against the prisoner,
who on his part could only say that
on his going to work in the morn
ing he had found the murdered man
dying and tried to help him, where
by he had becomo covered with
blood, bat when the man presently
died he had come away and aaid
nothing about it because he was
known to have had a quarrel with
the deceased and fiared he might
get into trouble. The hayfork with
which the man had been mur
dered had the prisoner's name on it.
In other respects his guilt appeared
to be clearer established, aud the
chief justice was convinced of it,
but the jury returned a verdict of
"Not guilty.'*
This was Chief Justice Dyer's
case, and ho put some very search
ing questions to the high sheriff.
The cause the acquittal, said the
official, was undoubtedly the fore
man, a farmer of excellent charac
ter, esteemed by all his neighbors
and very unlikely to be obstinate or
vexations. "Then," said the judge,
"I must see this foreman, for an
explanation of the matter I will
have." The foreman came, and aft
er extracting from hia lordship a
promise of secrecy proved at once
that the prisoner had been rightly
acquitted, "for," paid he," "it was I
myself who killed the mnn."
It had been no murder, for the
other hud attacked him with the
hayfork, and—as he showed—se
verely injured him, but in the strug
gle to get possession of the weupon
he had the misfortune to give tho
man a fatal wound, lie had 110
fears as to his being found guilty
of murder; but, tho assises being
(uit over, his farm and afluirt would
lave been ruined by a confession,
through lying in jail ao long, so
he suffered matters to take their
course, lie was horrified to find
one of his own servants accused of
the murder. He supported his wife
snd children whilo in jail, managed
to be placed on the jury and elected
foreman, lie added that if he had
failed in this he would certainly
have confessed to his own share in
tho business, and the judge believed
him.
I Every year for fifteen years the
judge made inquiries as to the forc
[ man's existence, and nt last, hap

Oaring Porgary That Figured In tha
Fimtui Tichborna Caaa.
It is ft rather striking fact that
the greatest deception of the last
century brought about ouc of the
most daring forgeries. While the
Tichborne case was dragging its
weary length the court waa stagger*
cd one morning by the receipt of a
letter purporting to be written by
Sir Algernon West at the direction
of Mr. Gladstone, his chief, to Lord
Chief Justice Bovill. The letter set
forth that the slow progress of the
trial was a public scandal and that
we could not fnil to become a by
word to all civilized nation*, tfr.
Qladstone, the letter ran on, added,
"He is aware that you are not in
any sense responsible for a state of
things which is a blot upon our civil
jurisprudence, but he thinks an
early expression of your and per
haps his opinion, front the high po
sition you occupy, would tend to
remedy a state of things which
threatens to result in a virtual de
nial of justice."
Balhintine used to say of Bovill,
"With a little more experience Bo
vill would be the worst judge of the
bench." lie believed the letter to
be genuine and summoned his broth
er judges to advise him how to act
in such an unprecedented interfer
ence with the administration of jus

temporaries nad the wisdom to sug
gest that the best course was to see
if the letter were really genuine be
fore considering tho grave constitu

upon they sent down to Sir Alger
non. He flew to Westminster. Of
course, the thing was n monstrous
forgery, and he was in time to pre
vent the precipitating of the thun
derbolt that would inevitably havo
left the bench had Bovill not been
wisely counseled. Tfyc author was
