MARRIAGE AND MOBILIZATION
Dealt with in the Instructions Issued
by the Provost Marshal
Saturday Night
(Associated Press)
Washington, Aug. 26. At the di direct
rect direct suggestion of President Wilson,
Provost Marshal General Crowder
telegraphed to all governors last
night a supplemental explanation of
regulations governing the status of
married men under the selective ser service
vice service law. No change is made, and
the purpose of the new statement is
to clear misunderstandings which
have arisen in what General Crowder
describes as a "few instances."
In a letter to Secretary of War
Baker President Wilson states his
opinion that the regulations directing
local boards "to establish the fact of
dependents in addition to the fact of
marriage ought not to be abrogated."
This leaves the regulations as they
are and the supplementary statement
is designed merely to make the ap application
plication application of rules conform among all
boards.
While the statement regarding
married men was in preparation or orders
ders orders were issued changing entirely
the mobilization arrangements pre previously
viously previously made. Congestion of r$il
traffic and the necessity of making
better provision for the reception of
the men at the cantonments dictated
the change.
Under the new orders, 5 per cent,
of the white men, preferably those
with military experience, from each
local area, will be started to the
camps September 5 instead of 30 per
cent. They will go in five daily de detachments

thereafter as practicable.

for next Thursday afternoon.
The town boys are good players
and are planning to retake the laurels
they lost in last Thursday's game.

no idea of losing any battle, on the

the coming game will be a stiff one.

AN IMPORTANT 'MATTER

A very large crop of sweet pota potatoes
toes potatoes is being raised in Marion county,
enough for home needs and much
over.
Sweet potatoes do not keep very
long, and right now is the time for
our farmers to begin to make prep preparations
arations preparations to market the crop.
It will not be possible to market it
to advantage without co-operation,
and in the Star's opinion this is one
of the things our county demonstrat demonstrating
ing demonstrating agent is best able to arrange. If
our farmers will report their probable
crops to him at once, and he in turn
will report either to the food com commission,
mission, commission, or firms competent to put
the tubers on the market, it's the
Star's belief that a gratifying result
will be attained.
At any rate, it is a matter of im importance
portance importance both to Marion county peo people
ple people and the entire nation, and our
farmers should get busy with it at
once.
Mr. .Nathan Mayo has a potato
drying plant at Summerfield, but it
will not be able to handle a tenth of
the surplus crop, so the situation
should be communicated immediately
to the food commission or some other
national agency.
In our opinion Florida's senior
senator, Duncan U. Fletcher, is, after
President Wilson, the biggest man in
Washington. Senator Fletcher can
always be found when he is needed,
and always on the right side of every
question. Sebring White Way.
This is about as compact a compli compliment

man. statesman. That letter of Catts' to Frank
Clark is a broad hint to people who
do not approve of the governor's
actions that if they do not keep quiet
tie will give them a dressing with a
hickory towel. There are a lot of
men in Florida who are not airaid
of hickory sticks or any other kind
of sticks, and some of them do not
approve of the political gymnastics of
Gov. Catts.

class of ignorant people, and the said
ignorant people have to suffer for his

H. C. Waldo, a railroad employee
of Apalachicola, has been arrested on
the charge of making scurrilous and
threatening remarks' about President
Wilson. Waldo is too old for the
draft, being about 40 years of age,
but is reported to have told at least a
half dozen people that he did not
want to go to war but would like to
take a shot" at President Wilson.
He is also reported to have employed
unprintable epithets in referring to
the president.

ognizable. recognizable. It belongs to the same fam family
ily family as carrots and parsnips. It has a
number of popular names, of which
the most common is "cowbane," or
"water hemlock." The plant grows in
wet places and is especially common
in some parts of the west along irri irrigating

take the form of a group of tubers.
The cicuta is most readily distinguish distinguished

the transverse chambers in the root
stock. These can be seen by making
a longitudinal section.
Only the root of cicuta is poisonous.
Cases of poisoning are more frequent
In the spring, partly because the roots
are more likely to be noticed at that
time and partly because they appear
to be more poisonous then than later
in the season. In cases of the poison poisoning

treatment Is to give an efficient emetic,
followed by a cathartic. Some form
of opium may be given to control the

room where General Alton was at his
deBk. Silently he saluted and waited
for some sign of recognition. He had
to wait some minutes before General
Alton, without looking up from his let
ters, said, "Well, orderly?"
"Colonel Curtis presents his compli compliments
ments compliments to General Alton, begs to report
matters of importance and asks an im immediate

The general laid down his pen
"Show him In, orderly."
As the colonel entered General Alton
rose, and the two grave faced men
looked questioningly at each other. In
those days "matters of importance'
generally stood for disaster and neces necessity
sity necessity for quick action.
"General Alton," the crisp voice of
Colonel Curtis began, "a prisoner, a
spy, has been arrested attempting to
pass the lines. In the search in his
shoes were found concealed a complete
and thorough drawing of the strength strengthened

The general turned to the speaker a
face full of interest. "That's bad, Colo Colonel
nel Colonel Curtis, very bad. Tell me some something

"I did not see him until the papers
had been discovered and the evidence
of his being a spy established. He is n
mere boy, not more than twenty years
old, I am sure. He has been a soldier
of that I am convinced and good blood
runs in his veins. I think him a native
of this section of Tennessee. His ac accent
cent accent indicates it."
"You ordered the search?"
"No; Captain Lawton did."
"The specifications and papers were
found in his shoes?"
"Yes, general, hidden between a false
sole and the true one."
General Alton looked gravely straight
in front of him. He was thinking deep deeply.

The prisoner was a mere boy with no

this work.
"You base your opinion entirely,
Colonel Curtis, on the character of the

"Yes, general. I urn persoi: illy con convinced

This mere boy has, I be -i eve, neither

work and could not possibly have ob obtained

Colonel Curtis waited patiently until
the general finished his work and put
maps and papers back into tbe drawer.
He leaned back in his chair with a
thoughtful, grave face. It was events
like these that made tbe business of
war so grim and dreadful.

the empty room, he faced the situa situation.

life is sweet beyond words. He had
bought for gold the information he
must give his life for. The traitor was
utterly unworthy of his silence, but he
had given his word.
Far away over the brown fields his
eyes and thou slits traveled. His home,
his mother and father and happy boy boyhood
hood boyhood passed in quick review in his
surging thoughts. Could he save his
life? Was this his one chance?
He had prayed for an answer. He
seemed to hear his father's voice giv giving

that was a part of his whole life, and
the words were familiar with long,
happy j'ears of memories. "It is not
worth while to gain a desired end by
an undesired means, iny son; it Is not
worth while for a Dabney."
"No! God helping me, no!" the boy
cried aloud in his anguish. "It Is not
worth while!"
"Corporal!"-called a voice from the
room. The key turned, and the guard
entered. Seton Dabney turned a set
face to the soldier in blue. "I wish to
speak to General Alton at once."
A moment later the prisoner Aood In
his old place. General Alton was now
alone. He saluted and waited.
"You have made a decision, Mr. Dab Dabney?
ney? Dabney? Think well," the older man went
on, "before you answer. There is still
time to consider. You can extend the
hour."
Clear and strong came the answer:
"I thank you, General Alton; I do not
wish more time. It is pafer for me t
answer now. I have decided."
The head was raised with a little ges gesture
ture gesture of pride. "I am an American and
a Tennesseean. I must die so that nei neither

The words were said simply. He
hesitated one moment and then sioke
again: "Allow me, General Alton, to
say the persons you claim sold me infor information

have shot them myself had such been
tbe case. I thank you for your kind kindness

General Alton rose. He came to the
boy and held out his band. There was
a strange look of sorrow in his face.
"My boy," he said -softly, "some day
perhaps your father and I will meet
again. You did not get j-our honorable
mention that day at Shiloh. You have
won it now."

The same thought doubtless was In
the minds of both men. The general
must order a court martial, which must
pass a death sentence on this boy, who,
after all, was doing the hardest and
most undesired duty a soldier is called
upon to do.
General Alton broke the silence. "I
have decided. Colonel Curtis, to offer
this prisoner his life on condition that
he reveals all that he knows about
these paiers."
Colonel Curtis rose, feeling the inter interview
view interview was over.

'We will make the hearing at
tomorrow morning, if you please, colo colonel,
nel, colonel, and I will have Captain Lawton
also present. In the meantime detail a
special guard for the prisoner and see
that he has comfortable care. Good
night."
The footstep" died away down the
long, empty hfSl, and General Alton
was again alone. It had leen a hard
day, and he was glad It was over. The
gravity of this last complication made
his face unusually old and worn. For
some weeks strange things of this kind
had come to light. Now this must
prove a solution of what had never
been understood.
"Can it be," he thonght wonderingly.
"that in all the world there Is a man so
base as to sell for money the informa information
tion information a soldier would die to preserve?"
Then he fell to thinking of the boy
whose life lay in his hands and of all
the stern justice of war. Involuntarily
his hand rested on a letter with a
northern postmark. It had come to
him from Prhiceton that morning. Be Before
fore Before him passed the eager, -pleading
words of his s3u urging; imrAoriiig his
father to let blm'give'up college "aMTgo
to the front. "The soldier blood," the
letter ran, "the blood of all the Altons,
is calling to me day and night, making
study Impossible. I do not desire to
grieve you by giving up my work with without
out without your consent, but I am no longer
sure of myself. Let me do what my
conscience urges me to do. When peace
Is declared I will take up my profes profession
sion profession if you desire it."
He must consent, of course. Richard
was a man now and must make a
man's fight for the old flag. Perhaps
some day In the fortunes of war his
only son, his fine, brilliant Richard,
would stand as this boy stood today
under the shadow ef death.
The prisoner in his well guarded tent
had spent one of those never to be for forgotten
gotten forgotten nights that most of us can re remember
member remember somewhere in life. There was
little doubt of his fate, and, with a
strange, awed look on his young face,
telling of the night's conflict, he waited
for the hour of the interview. He
knew nothing of the offer to be made
him and felt that it was only a prelimi preliminary
nary preliminary of hi3 death warrant. He longed
with a boyish longing for his uniform
to wear this morning. In that gray
and all it stood for he felt he could bet better
ter better face the worst.
General Alton, Colonel Curtis and
Captain Lawton were talking earnestly
when the orderly announced the pris prisoner
oner prisoner and his guard.
"How young, pitifully young," was
the thought that was in their minds as
the prisoner courteously saluted and
stood at attention. The excitement of
the moment had brought back a faint
color in the cheeks ami taken the wea weariness
riness weariness from the face.
General Alton faced the boy with
keen scrutiny. "You understand, do
you, that you are under the gravest
charge in military law?" the general
began, his voice full of the stern com command
mand command of the soldier.
"I do, General Alton," the boy replied
quietly.
The young officer, acting as tbe gen general's

notes. The examination had com commenced.

"Seton Dabney, suh."
"Where do you live?"
"My home is in Pulaski, suh."
The general paused in the examina examination.
tion. examination. There was something a trifle dis disconcerting
concerting disconcerting In the frank, boyish face
strangely suggesting that other boy in
a northern town restless for the life
which had brought this one to grief.
When the general spoke next- his
voice had lost much of the sternness
and impersonality. When General Al Alton
ton Alton chose to take that tone it was diffi difficult
cult difficult to resist him always.
"Mr. Dabney, may I ask, is your fa father's
ther's father's name Edwin Dabney, and was
he first lieutenant in the old Sixteenth
Virginia in the Mexican war?"
The prisoner looked surprised; then a
smile of. pleasure warmed his, face.
"Yes, suh; his name Is Edwin Dabney,
and he belonged to the old Sixteenth
Virginia. It was the delight of my
childhood to hear him tell those stories
of army life. When the trouble came
between the states I begged with all
my heart to go with my father in the
Ninth Tennessee. I was only eighteen
and the only son, and my father wished
me to continue my-studies at the Vir Virginia
ginia Virginia Military institute and so be with
mother while he was away. At the end
of a year he found it was no use. I
could not study. I had to be a soldier.
"I was in the battle of Shiloh," the
boyish voice went on, "and I did my
best for honorable mention. I did not
get it then, but if I could live I felt my
chance would come. This attempt to
gain certain details was necessary. I
volunteered for the task. I knew tbe
country well, for I had hunted all over
every inch of it. Perhaps for many
reasons it seemed wise to let me try,
and I was given my chance. I did my
best, general." and the voice broke a
little, "but-I failed; that is alL"
The boy stopped abruptly.
"Mr. Dabney" it was the general
speaking in tbe same courteous voice
still "it is a sad thins, these fortunes

duty, and as soldiers we must do ours.
