THE LEXINGTON DISPATCH.
Wednesday, December 19,1906.
In Memory of a Gallant
Soldier.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
It is with much sadness that I learn
of the untimely death of my old friend
and comrade, "Major E. R. Quattlebaum,
and it is through the columns
of your valued, paper that I would
like to add a few incidents and facts
to last week's sketch of his noble life.
It was my pleasure to know him in
the organization of the 20th S. C.
Volunteer Regiment, commanded by
Col. L. M. Keith, in October 1862, at
the old race track near Columbia, S.
C. He was only a few years my
n nnMo monlr rAnncr man
SC111U1 , CL iiu uiv. J wauij J vuug - "
and a perfect model of a soldier. We
became bosom friends and this friendship
never lessened to this day. He
was made sergeant-major of this grand
old regiment from the ranks of captain
in Harman's Co. K., and held
this position with great credit to himself
and his county up and until the
13th of October, 1884.
We were sent to reinforce Gen. J.
B. Early, in the .valley of Virginia.
By we I mean Kershaw's Old Division.
On this day we marched some 20
miles in the rain, arriving at this
point 3 miles beyond Strausbuxg, Va.
When we engaged the enemy behind
a rock fence we were, hungry, worn
out with fatigue from this force
march. After two hours of hard
fighting we dislodged Sheridan's
forces from behind this fence. When
our line reached this fence we held it
for some time against a fusilading
fire from the enemies' pickets behind
rail piles. M. T. Smoak and myself
of Co. B,, which was in the extreme
left of the regiment, passed
through this fence and took up a position
some aundred yards in front of
Leaphart's company ait the top of the
hill," where we kept up a continued
firing at these pickets. Very soon
Gen. James Connor, our commander,
and no braver man ever went into
war, rode Up to where Smoak and I
were and seeing the advantage of our
position, called to Sergt. Quattlebaum
to bring our regimental colors, then
carried by Sergt. G. D. Sellers. As
soon as he arrived the regiment cleared
the rock fence and formed line of
battle. Before the line was completed,
tnougn,a snen iromwieenemies guns,
stationed a mile beyond us across
Cedar creek, exploded near us and a
piece of this shell broke Gen. Connor's
ieg. Sergt. Quattlebaum, with four
others of "the litter corps, picked him
up and were carrying him to the rear,
when another shell from this same
gun exploded, killing one or two of
the men. A piece of it as large as
your hand struck Sergt. Quattlebaum
behing the right shoulder blade, carrying
away the blade and a lot of
flesh. He'too was carried off the field
as dead.
Our command marched back to
Fishing Hill that night and took up
quarters. The following day Col. S.
B. Boykin sent for me. He directed
me to get ud a list of the killed and
wounded. I made report of the casualties
of this engagement and reported
Sergt.- Quattlebaum mortally
wounded. I continued to fill this
position until we surrendered. In
1867, after mourning my friend as
dead for four years, I got on the train
at St. Matthews, S. C., for Orangeburg.
You can imagine my surprise
to meet him on this train, a hale,
hearty young man, on his way to
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., where he went
to school. I had never been able to
find him since. I loved him as a
brother. Therefore my deep and
heartfelt sympathies are extended to
his loved ones. F. M. Pooser,
Co. B. 20th S. C. Volunteers.

Tried to Forge Bill of Lading.
R. J. Coney and James Clark, two
prominent young men of Columbia,
were arrested on Thursday last by
Southern railway detectives for forg1ing
a bill of lading for ten bales of
cotton shipped from Pelion. Coney
being assistant chief transfer clerk at
the freight depot of the Southern in
Columbia, he transferred the cotton
to Augusta when it should
havp hpon <jhir?ripH C!r?lnmhia T^nt,
on account of' a defective air Hue the
cotton "failed to arrive on time and
Clark wired his partner accordingly.
The message went to Washington and
in this way the scheme was detected.
Both are of prominent families and
stood high in Columbia.

Tillman Snows 2?illine;y.
Senatar Tillman is probably the
only American statesman the woman
members of whose household trust to
select hats, gowns and oth^rmillineiy
dear to the masculine eye. The Soutii
Carolinian is somewhat careless about
his own attire, but in the matter of
feminine dress he has developed such
fine taste that his wife and daughter
depend upon his judgement in the
selection of their hat, gowns, wraps,
etc. He never goes to a large city
that he does not carry back home
some article of attire for Mrs. or Miss
Tillman, and, curiously enough, he
keeps up with the latest modes more
carefully than they do. It is a rare
treat to hear him criticise the dress of
women he sees in the streets* or meets
at social functions. With judgment
that is declared to be unerring he can
tell whether or not a woman finely
Hi C33CU 11C19 H iopici^ Cil guuu L*?uv '11
the cut of her gown, the style of her
hat or the combination of" colors in
one or both. For a man who has led
so busy and strenuous a life as Senator
Tillman few people would suspect
that he has developed 90 fine a taste.
In the matteruof flo\ve :s he is also a
connoisseur. "He has on his plantation
in South Carolina one of the finest .
flower gardens in the United States,
and his great chum, Former Senator
Chandler, enjoys nothing better than
a visit to the Tillman home, or a gift
of rare roses from the Tillman garden.
The Tillmans have great boxes of
these flowers sent to them about once
a week whenever they are in Washington

the things we always hanker for are

with the tinseled things that fool
and catch the eye."

Christ Would Abolish Xmas.
Chicago, Dec. 14.?"One of the first
things Christ .would abolish were He
to come back to earth would be the
holiday Christmas," declared the Rev.
Melbourne P. Bonyton in an address
to ministers.
"Christmas has become a burden
almost too great to be borne. Think |
of the many weary hours the business
world is now laboring overtime to
take care of the extra work entailed
by the proximity of Chritmas, many
a tender heart which longs to discharge
the obligations thrust upon it
by the gifts of friends in former years,
and yet which is unable to respond
to the expectation.
"This is all out of accord with the
spirit of Kim whose birthday we are
supposed to celebrate. Ho came to
lift the burdens from the hearts of
men, not to add to them. Indeed,
Christmas as it is observed amqng us,
has reverted to its paganism. It is
not Christmas.
