SOUTHERN JOURNEY
OF THE THIRTEENTH
IT WAS NOT ALL A MATTER OP
HARDSHIP.
So Many Pleasant Features Attended

Get Tired of It They Are Loud In
Their Fralse of the Southern Coun

Its Reputation as a Rainmaker.
The Thirteenth Makes a Record in
Breaking Camp and on the Trip.
Special to the Scrnnlon TriBuii.
Camp H. U. M. Young. AugtlHta, Ga
Nov. 16. The trip of the recliui'iit from
Kcyscr, North Carolina, to the city of
AuffUHla wns one of lively Intftrost to
tli! men. They rented not for a mo
ment, but enRerly suiveyed the sur
rounding country. Kvcry foot oj
southern soil over which they passed
only made them the mine desirous of
not missing- anything. Their curiosity
had been raised to the hlphest point
und never died our for even jii in
ttunt. V reicliucl the city of Sotiiliciti
1'lnM, which ii known to many Sciun
tonlans, at half pan ten o'clock Tues
day moniiiiK, and It was noticeable
that old glory was more In cvldenco
there than In any other city or town
below the Mason and Olon line. The
white people showed th-'mseUeH and
waved to the hoy as th" train passed
along. This was the only plaep beyond
"Washington In whit h the white people
ulinwcd any moil- than 'i passing In
freest In the troops and reminded the
bovs Hcmewhut of home. The presence
of the more cxiltnll" and enthuslastli
colored peoplr ul other points seemed
to have a dPteriliiR, ilntiipenliiir effect
on the while population, and resulted
in their remaining nwiv entirely from
the depots and een restrained them
l'l im taking part In any attempt at
welcoming or blddlnyr a jjood-bye to
the boys in blue.
C'OTTONKIlJI.U SOl'VKNl HS.
Fiom Southern i'iner. vt made gnud

at 11 o'clock ami a hnlf an hour later
we arrived at a stald-Iookliicr. well
oitleied town named Hamlet. Here
th" train stopped !or some time and
coffee a served. Puring the wait
some of the boys waded Into a large
otton Held and picked handfuh of
"50JKla lotion, which they mill pre
serve as youvenhf. At flfleui mln
atea alter twelve wo crossed the Uee
Dee ilvcr, Menmlnt; Into Monroe at

to overj school boy and evorv school
Kill, wns called to mind hv actual c.
rmpllflcntlon and our train passed ov

into South Cniollna. Thence we mad.'

o'clock we crossed the Savannah ilv

South Carolina and fieorgln. passhiK
ihinush Auifiista sliorilv after and
ri'achlnir our destination at the "Mings,
holiday Talk
Not too eai ly to consider this prop
ositionChristmas is only some six
weeks forwaH. The holidays have
a direct bearing upon our business.
They create a demand for special
lines the many lines of novelties
and novel wares for gift usages. -
Hence the special efforts that
have been put forth months ago
and are now being put forth to make
Ibis year's collection and display
unprecedented.
It's too early to speak in detail of
the many lines, so only this men
tion of some of the exclusive sorts
that were gathered by our buyer
while on the continent during the
summer, and which are now receiv
ing here, for the first time, the
light of day on American soil.
There are Bronzes, Leathers and
Dresdens from Germany; Hand
Painted Toilet Articles, Nic-Nacs
and Jewelry from France; Ivory,
Cut Glass, Silver and Gun Metal
Novelties from England. All the
important art centers of the old
world have representatives in this
veritable pan-municipal show. It's
a duty owing to yourself to see ths
vast collection of Statuettes, Busts,
Vases, Toilet Things and Table Ar
ticles.
It's not a good time to av of
prices art is not measured by dol
lars and cents. Therefore it's in
consistent to shout "Cheap!
Cheap!" in the same bro.it h with
"Finest and Best." Yet in truth
we hold the matter of price as
highly important.
There is no sentimentality in our
prico.- ear h mark is based on a
business percentage of the cost, and
the goods cost less than you ex
pectthat's triumph enough.

Evidence Which Is Right to the
Point and Reliable.
Judge Prank Ives, of the District
Court, of Crookston, Minn., says: For
pome time I have used Stuart's Oys
pepsin Tablets with seeming Rreat
benefits with few exceptions, I have
not been so free from Indigestion In
twenty-five years,

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets has done
Its work, and I am again gaining llesh

O. K. Ransom, Iliistonvllle, Ky,: I
was distressed and annoyed for two
years with throwing up food, often
two or three times a day: hud no

ono mile fiom camp, at Ihiet In the
11101 IlillL,.
The routh Is Induid a strange, weird
country. The beauty Just now Is not
Imposing or majestic save In its vast
extent, but still It has beauty of its
own. Ttom the city of TVeldon, near
the upper boundarv line of Notth Car
olina to Auycista, we passed over an
unvaried plain, and your correspondent
lemembeis than In one stretch of over
one hundred milts not only was there
no mountain visible, but we could not
een see :i hill as large as Sanderson's
hill in Scror.ton. Such an unlterrupt
ed scene has a pecullar.everlastlng ef
fect on a person coming fiom moun
tainous Northeastern Pennsylvania.
BEAUTIFUL, AUTUMN.
On all sides as we passed wo could
see nedlcss tracts of perfectly leel
fields of cotton. The melJ-nvlmr hand
of autumn, which covers eveijthPig
It touches Willi i Ichest tints, seems
to have just completed its great work
and where cotton or corn does not grow
one can see as pretty a pletuiu as hu
man being lias ever laid eyes upon.
On one side nie pine forests, In which
every tree grows parallel to the other,
and on thnpposlt side are larp
tracts of many-colored, stunted oak
trees, over trpped heie and there by
chunks of green -ci owned pines, on e
ly one of which nature has used her
plumb line wUliunerrltigaecuracy. ThU
scene was continued mile after mile-,
and extended In every dlrectlor. far
ther than the eyes can see.
Th trip from Camp Mead- to this
place was icmaikable for the health
of the icgiment and freedom fiom m -e'dents.
It was so arranged that if
any one got rick on cither the first
or se-cond sections he would bo left
off at a station theie to b taken up
by the thiru section, to which was
attached a well-equipped, well-supplied
hospital cni'. in eharge of Major
Keller. No belter compliment can be
paid to the physical endurance of the
men than to sm that, under all condi
tions and Inconveniences, they travel
ed nine hundred and ten miles and only
one man was taken to .the hospital
car and his case was In no way -serious.
Three or four suffered from
headaches, c.ir sickness, but were soon
able to get around again.
l: piallv remarkable was the accident
rocoid. Only one man was hurt Pri
vate Thomas Kernan. ot Knst Hloom
llelil, Ontario eourty. X. y who acts
as t nef for Company ti. As the sec
ond section was having Hanlsburg
It pasvd clo-c to the City hospital.
Lieutenant .1. Harrington, of G, who
is still a fever patient in that insti
tution, went to a window to see the
regiment depart and to wave his faro
well to tho boys. TVhen the members
of his compnny saw him they leaned
out of the car windows. In doing this
Keinan unf, rtuuately leaned out too
far and just at that moment the tiain
passed : tlag station, which I? quite
mar to the track.
KOUTUNATK KSCAl'13.
As a result Private Kernan received
a slight gash in the center of the
forehead and the middle finger of the
right hand was wrenched at tho Joints.
The musclen ore simply strained nnd
the wound in the forehead, though ov
er an Inch In length, merely effects
the skin. The cranium Is unharmed.
Lieutenant Ulanehard. In charge of tlj
second section, rendered prompt aid,
dressing the wounds immediately. The
patient is now walklna mound. Ho
had a nanow, but very fortunate es
cape. Lieutenant Mcrrlmen. who looked af
ter the health of the rim section, re
ports that eteiy man under his chaiga
escaped flcknuss or mishap.
The thrld section, which was under
Major Surgeon Keller's sup'rivlslon,
was equally fortunate. To this sub
division of the regiment was attached
the hospital car, which wis supplied
with medical, suiglcal and food elu.-us,
and curled ten beds, ono hospital
steward, tfeigt-ant I'lnrk1 two lio;p.
tal .usititnnts and one vpert cook,
Private John .Stanton, of D Company.
It was a model hosoltul In every ie
fipett. but lacked patients.
One of the chief topics of iiiverca
tion new under discussion In enn.p Is
the vplendld record which the regi
ment made for it.ulf from tho begin
ning In end. Major Von S. hrueder,
who is chief uf transportation, and
who has been seeing practically the
cutlio Second army corps leave camp
dining several days previous, expicss
d himself without any solicitation to
the etcct that the Thirteenth, both
men and nfl.cers, was the incst order
ly, punctual and military. like regi
ment which had left the sldltn's nn to
that time. To this was ndded the test
imony of the railroad olllcl.ils. who. on
seveial ociarlons where stops were
made. iii(uiied as to what i-ugiment
It was. TVh'jti told they remarked that
It was the i,ulutest .'.ml best behaved
thick had passed. In justice and fair
ness it muse he said that this measut
of praise Is lar from being undeserved
which oen u casual comparison be
tween the Thirteenth and the other
regiments would snow. Major Von
tfchroeder's especially Is no Idle com
ptlineut. Tho last of the three section rolled
last night into a by-natlon named
T hcless Junction, which Is lust one
mile from here. All slept In the cars
during the night and this morning
the Thirteenth onco more proved its
populatlty with the elements which
have been pouring down rain since
early morning. This did not deter the
boys. They donned their overcoats,
and though deprived of their break
fast, started In with a rush to remove
their ramp equlppago from the cars
on to the army wagons, nnd In a few
hours they had everything here In
camp and their canvas up.
The hoys of the Thirteenth taught
the boys of the other regiments one
valuable trick In soldiery Ihey
brought their bunks along with them,
while the others gave them away at
Camp Meade, and when they arrived
hsre had to Meep on mother enrth.

PECKVILLE.
Pechvllle was In .darkness Saturday
and Sunday nights, caused by the
wires grounding und burning off with
the high voltage used. Trees must be
propeily Insulated where wires come
in contact and the construction com
pany should have seen that It was
done. The iiystem Is nil right and
when properly put up will be n decid
ed success.
Martin Hniloe, the borough's electri
cal engineer, will dining the next few
dayb go over the electric light sy
stem and make an inventory of it as
it now stands, so that the exact cost
up to dete can ! readily figured up.
im all estimates given out hertofore
linve been mere guess work. Mr. Harlot-
states that he is confident that
th' plant has not -o.t over $300 over
th" appropriation of $13,000, and he
also stands ready to take the plant,
run it for ono year, furnish it witli
everything throughout for the sum of
$3,000. He also states he will furnish
the necessary transformers, same to
be paid for as collections are made.
Th' dliectors and members of the
Odd Fellows' Hall association are re

Because Hood's Sarsaparilla
Built Up His System
Child Was Weak, Had Night Swoats
and Poor Appetite.
"Our youngest child was in a bad con
dition. Ono physician said the trouble)
was malaria and another thought it came
from tho stomach and liver. Meantime
the child kept growing weaker. He had
night sweats, poor appctito and various
othor troubles. We worried along for
two years, and then we determined to
try Hood's Sarsaparilla, and from the
first day wo noticed a change in our
littlo boy. TVe kopt on until ho had
taken about threo bottles. Today he is a
strong, hearty child, TVe have always
had to koep him indoors in winter, but
last winter he wa3 out with other children
and we found no trace of the old trouble
returning." Alfred HARsnncRQEB, 70
