Jr. Editor:
Possibly some of your readers
nay be interested in some re
iniscenses from an old confed
rate in which a comparison is
rawn between his experience in
iospitals of the dates above men
ioned, for it so happens that
vithin the chequered scenes of
ife I have had experience in
hem, of both dates. On the 28th
[ay of Jnly 1864, in a battle
)etween Federals dismounted
avalry and threa brigades of
,onfeerate infantry, to wit:
ja ne's North Carolina, McGowa's
ind Kersh.w's South Carolina,
t or near a place ca'.led New
Jarket Heights. some twelve or
ourteen miles below Richmond,
.a., on the north side of the
Fames River, and Deep Bottom
from which latter place we had
een shelled out the day before
)v Gun Boats on'the river) I was
vounded by a minnie ball, which
esulted in amputation of my
eft arm that same evening about
unset, at the Field Hospital, by
)r. Simon Baruch, our Battalion
urgeon, who by the way
iarried a winnsboro girl, Miss
Volfe.
On this occassion I was put
uder the influence of chloro
rm, which I recall produced a
ery happy sensation, as I sank
to insesibility amid the seem
ig tinkling of myriad soft, sweet
>nea little bells . I have no
collection of any spain con
ected with the operation. Just
ere let me say what seems
,range to those who have not
perienced the amputation of a
or arm, that the sensation of
ie extremities, whether fingers
toes remains during Jife.
ter more than forty years I
111 feel it.
On the next day I was re
oved to the Jackson Hospital
Richmond, wbere I remained
3ring the long hot mouth of
ugust. I was WrW fprtynate
an hundreds of my comrades,
having for my nurse a member
my own company, whose
emory will ever be precious to
e; I refer to Davia Gladney,
Lbo was as kind and attentive
id tender with and toward me
emingly, as if he had been my
-other.
There were no trained nurses
eu; soldiers vh werq oonva
ert from sickness or wounds,
)t able to go to the front,
re detailed for nurses, and
me of them were quite effi
ent considering their limited
>portunities and the lack
~medicines and other neces
ry appliances for comfort, in
dyt to the popdlitions then pre
.iling in the Sou;th, What was
itfered by many a poor wounded
sick soldier ia Confederate
spitals has never been and can]
ver be told, AveU granting that'
r people did the best they
ud. Many a soldier went

ciies of the fiheld and canmp to
Le tre;atment he receve'd in the
>spital; I say this in no fault
2ding spirit. I ouly state facts.
ur dear goor women (Goud bless
em) did all in their power to
nehorate the sufferings of their
yand other women's loved ones,
:a pher ;arms were too short
d their meis too litited to
ach all. Happy beyondde
ription the father, husband,
other, or sweeIheart, who was
>fortunate as to get a farlough
me, where he could have the
inistrations of these angels of
ry.
We will for a shiort while con
der the n~ow, referred to in the
adig of this letts. As j;
ei knowu no rmany of my friends,
fell to my lot, under Divine
rovidence, as I believe, and
;on the alvice of resident
Eisicans her', to go to Bal
nore, where there are doctors
'large ex perience and emiuent,
tecess in surgery, for treatm~ent
d a eritical operation. O'i
outof my son being at the
edical school of the University1
Mryiand, and his having
it ten LUe of the connection af
ac ugo in that hospital in
lepro of Dr. iandlph
inlw I went there. The
alum'fbia Stete said I was iu the
olhn HoIcpkins: this was a mis
?.ke for which I aig not respon
ible. as my letter was not pub
shed. Leaving Columbia in
e evening of Jan. 29th., by the
,A. L, Ry., I arrived in Bal
more on the afternoon of the
thour train being about four
.ours late. I reported at the
ospital next mo~rrnng and at
ee placed m sself under Dr.
Vinslow's treaanmt. On the
rd., day of February after
horoug' emmination and pre
paration,1 was taken from my
room and hoisted on an elev-ator
to the operating room, placed on
the table, an ether eap placed
over my face and in less than two
minutes I should say, I had lost
consciousness and was utterly
oblivious to all surroundings, the
sensation produceI by tLe in
halation of ether issomnewhat.
similar, though not exactly the
samle as that by ejloroforn. it
seems to ine that the ether acts
quicker, and I sauk into a Iwo
found sleep without any tinkling
of bells or other seusation; and
in my case there was no nauseat
ing after effoets, as produced by
chloroform or morphine.
After the operation, which,
though terribly severe, I did not
feel, I was returned to my room
and laid on the bed, :,a Charies,
my son who, witnessel the
operation undertook to arouse
me from my death like slumber
by calling; "papa! papa',' and
slapping my fac2 and .shaking
me. After awhile I heard his
voice, as if he were a great dis
tance away, and finally I was
enough awake to ask how long
before the operation, and be
answ-ered: "oh! it is all over,"
From that time on until I left
the hospital, which was the
night of the 1st., of Mar., I found
myself in the hands of traind
riurses, modest, polite and
unassuming young la.ies, who
were to me as ministering angels
of mercy day and night. I had
but to touch a button at the head
of my bed and one would coni-d
and wait on me as kindly and
tenderly, as if she had been my
own daughter. And they did it
all so unpretentiously, without
any official stiffness. I under
took once or twice to apologize
for disturbing them 6o often,
especially at night, but the reply
was, it is no trouble, I am here
for that purpose and no apology
necessary.
Dr. Winslow and his assistant,
young Dr. Charles Bagley, were I
also kind and very attenti-e to I
we and were always very polite.
The kind treatment that I received
at this hospital, with the fact !
that'my son saw m- :era times t
every day, went far towards sooth- t
ing the pain and separation from I
home and loved ones. I make 3
no comparsion bctween this and I
othrr hospitals of t!:e present
day. I suppose they are ll
>ratty't4guch 'on the sanaelie
but I will say, that I1 do uot b
ieve the University Hospital of
Batitnore is inferior in any of its
ppointments, whether as to c
octors, trained nurses, good
food or any otber provisicn fori
he comfort or convenience of its r
atients, to any other institution ?
f its hind North or Scutl. The

undred patients daily. I
The University of Maryland is

onnected therewith was founded i

as been a ''rofes-or and operat
ng surgeon there for twenty odd I
yars. Dr. Charles Bagley, who
tended me after the operation
s also a gra luate of the Medical
ollege and assistant to Dr.
Winslow.
In conclusion let me say in the
ratnent of woundcs during the
ar at the general hospitals, it
as expected there should be a
~uppuration or discharge from
he wound of puss and bloody
orrupt ma:tter. it is quite dif
ferent now, the only treatment

Big Advertisements.
.Tot a year :go the News and
He r( i publisO A its first full page
adwr .smint; and as this was a
ew dLeparture, it attracted a
ure- dtal of attention on the
part of all its readers. It was
som, t.ijn entirely inew as far as
this pr'per was concerned. The
firim, etch ai Mercantile Compny,
who made this new departure,
were highiy pieased with the re
sults that came tO them in a
practical business way from this
large advertisement. This first
big full page advertisement was
run frr four weeks without
chan y. A littie later thie same
firm :sed a half-page advertise
men . a featunre which was by no
means .wW. With the opening
of the fa! seasom they used a
full pag. ajdvertisement again
for two times in succession and
just in a few wmeks repeated the
same dose. Another merchant
then camne in with a full page ad
vertisement . and serval otbers
both in Winusboro and in other
towns followed with half page
advertisements. Then in the
beginning of the year the Cald
well Dry Goods Company came
in with a two page adyertise
ment that was a good one sure
and others followed with full
and half page advertisements.
Within the past twelve months
there have appeared in the News
and Herald twelve full page ad
vertisements and a good many
more half page ones.
There is not a single one of
tliese large advertisements that
has not attracted some attention
on account of the good display.
This illustrates how well the
aiews and Herald office is
quipped for handling these
arge advertisements in a manner
hat will make them profitable to.

:heie the necessary 'ype, etc., but
io pains are spared to get all ad

Most Gratifying
Has been the result of our efforts to supply
the trading public with a higher grade of
furniture than ever before brought to the
Winnsboro market. Even our most sanguine
expectations have been more than met. For
instance that large lot of Fine Rock
ers which we bought with hesitation are
now about all gone and we are daily expect
ing a larger and more varied shipment of
Rockers of the same high grade, and even
finer ones. As to Mattresses, espe
cially those of the higher class, the demand
has been very unexpected, and it has been
necessary to make a third big order, and
these ase now expected. Those beautiful
H a l R a cks too have been selling ex
ceptionally well and still others are coming
in. In fact the demand for all kinds of- Fur
niture of the higher grades has been such
that we shall spare no pains' to keep at all
times the very best in every line. When you
are wanting strictly hi'gh grade furniture,
you can't do better than come here, and you
will find this the best place too for the best
medium grade furniture forithe money.
How about a Washing Ma
chine? The best one on the market.
Try it and return it, if you are not pleased.
