How **Squire" Lamb ]
Fit
I'o the .-Jitor of The State: |
Two years ago at the re.|UCHt of my
eou.rade and friend, Sheril! Thos. .J.
Duokett. I wrote (wholly from memo
ry) a brief history of the old Hag of
the Third regiment of K ershaw's old
briga-ie, which was read on Memorial
?Iay. This description wa- in essen
tial matter- correct, i said among
other things: "At the battle of Chick
am au {ta (Jen. Kersbaw rode up lo
"Squire1 Lamb, us we always called
bim and said: 'Sergeant, give me
(hat !~\?g,' proposing to lead the
charge, for which our lines were form - :
in- . to which the 'Squire' answered;!
No you c*o't gel this flag, general;
ryoiu: out where you want it to go, I 'll
?ta'; ;t. but you can't got this Hag.
?gen : al. <^r.nnd "Id Kershaw pointed
to (L tree a thousand yards i:i Iront.
"Now, s rgcant, straight toward that
tree Then I briefly described the
ilerrifjc asuault on Snodgrass Hill.
A short time after Memorial day,
???>0.'>, I learned that some members of
'the Third battalion, who had, I sup
never known or had forgotten
wjf the cpitiodc between Gen. Kershaw
<and Lamb, were disposed to discredit
i:uy statement and to confound it with
a similar incident on the same day at
fttie same hour, with Gen. Kershaw
aud Uolorbcarer Kvins of the battalion.
IPkifl ,'cd to some correspondence b< -
Iw. y?. myself and Stato Treasurer Jen
>.iinr?, who was a gallant soldier of the
taliou and commanded a company
I that field. From this oorrcspan
icoce I found that he, Mr. Jennings,
Lad never known of the Ker-haw
??aiub incident, as I bad never heard
of the. incident with the gallant Kvins,
or had forgotten it, if I had known of
?t. "\Ve both found also that there
was no conflict between us.
The story of how Lamb had refused
?to give up tho flag on that famous
eld had been known by our boyB as a
iiart of the unwritten history of old
?Uocipany G, (Laurens llriars) of the
Third regiment for these 40 years.
Sergeant Lamb was one of our com
ff*any. Although I had written wholly
tfwm memory, 1 knew I was correct in
essential particulars, but bearing of
?lue disposition of some persons to mix
?tttp with tho Kershaw-Kvins incident,
?T asked Squire Lamb the first time
? taet him (ho was present when my
article waB read in the Court House
^Memorial day) to give me tho particu
lars of Kersbaw's coming to him at
Ohickamauga. He Bays: "Ho didn't
iride, be walked, up to me and said,
"Sergeant, let mo have the flag.' I
tsaid, 'No, you can't get the flag; tell
?ine where you want it to go; I'll take
at there.' I pointed to the battalion
and said, 'There, general, is tho trou
ble,' meaning that the battalion was
ilosiog its direction, or oausing the
brigade to lose its direction, wherc
?"xpon Kershaw pointing to the wooded
(freights of Snodgrasa Hill, now to be
snade i'ainous for a thousand years by
'this heroic assault and the perhaps no
ileeo 'heroic defence by Thomas, said:
^Sergeant, select a tree or an object
-sft-aight to the front and march di
s arectly to it, and hurrying to Color
Nearer levins 1 think that he got hold
} ?3? bis flag."
'. This is borne out by Mr. Jennings
? *Jffb.o says that Kershaw did get hold
I exf the battalion flag. It must not be
I ?<KigoUen that all this was the work of
\ is. very few minutes in a long sight less
I time than it takes to writo it, and
<wfei?e every man in tho brigade waB
?u?iing toward the front and under
rire, and was all done by Gen, Ker
ahew to rectify his alignment to
?change-somewhat the direction of his
cmrch, and while crossing that large
?jpuaing at the farther side of whicb
W3?c received the first deadly volley of
musketry, and in crossing which we
ever afterward said that we had exe
cuted Korshaw's order changing the
direction <of tho march as if we had
been on un ordinary parade.
N?fJoe survivors of Company Gl;
t (Briars), were together here on last
Wednesday, 26th, when I brought up
che question on purpose to learn their
c ecoilee.tkm -of the occurrences at
Cbickamatrga. "Several of tho number
mhs> were there, remember the Ker
^"haw-'Lamb incident, among the num
luer A.. Y. Thompson, a man of splen
Sid memory. Judge Barksdale of
Louisiana, .TirBt sergeant of the com
vaQY 'A^&Hant soldier who lost an arm
?ftrere, was present. Ho recalls Ker
jf&aw waving either flag or sword,'but
ra?i ' right in front of our rcg'me.nt,
Millich seem* to bear out the idea of
>X ec&haw lnvinu waved the battalion
tfag, after leaving Limb.
In a contribution to The News and
t?ieraid of Winnsboro of March, 1903,
*. -copy of wbioh I procured -some
months after my write-up of the Third
rregiruent flag in April of that year,
yEIoc. It. H. Jennings says of this
JSpisrVdo: "Kershaw walked up to
ijtvvns and taking the 11 .g from him
'ORI HS,
Relused to Grive up his
? it
I walked out in front of the li'.e, so
that the liag could he seen from all
parts of it. F,\ius thinking perhaps
that th<- general had an idea that he
was going to waver, walked alonir with
Kershaw and pleaded with him to
'please give him the flag,' and just
point out to him where to go, and as
suring him that he would go there or
die. Gen. Kershaw kindly trave it back
to him and pointing to a large green
pine :il the toji of the hill paid: 'l>o
you see that pine? 'Ves,' said
Kvins. 'Go directly t" it,' and he
went."
At the time of the correspondence
between comrade Jennings and my
self, referred to. we agreed that some
thing explanatory should be published
about this nppareut, but in no sense a
real conflict. Hut as most of us have
done with regard t" tin- priceless
treasure of our glorious history I went
alonir. and neglected i*. Again last
May while, at the State Democratic
convention in talking the matter over,
myself and Mr. Jennings, we agreed
that something ought to be published
\ and 1 again resolved to write, and yet
1 may never have be. n sufficiently im
pressed with the necessity for it had
it not be.-n that last autumn, by acci
dent, I learned that at the last annual
i session of the Stale organization of
the If. !>.(.-. some Udy?unwittingly,
of course- disputed or challenged the
1 (Jhickamauga flag story, so far as it
connected Sergeant Lamb with it. 1
' then once more resolved that 1 would
publish something that would, oral
least should, set the matter at test.
I Another thing that made mo hesitate
was n natural aversion to rushing into
print. But 1 am satisfied that it
'; should be explained for tear that after
all living witnesses arc gone, and that
will not be long, some of the younger
generation might be misled to believe
that some survivor might have been
vain enough to fall into the egregious
error of trying to appropriate to his
command honors that justly belonged
to another. Fortunately for all con
cerned, for t!ic living and for the dead,
there is glory enough for all. If the
old Third regiment was wanting in
glory, the Third battalion could well
spare some of her laurels with plenty
left. This history of one is the his
tory of the other, they fought and
marched and bivouaoked side by side,
shoulder to shoulder, from Sharps
burg to Frcderioksburg, Chancellors
ville, Gettysburg, Chiokamauga,
Knoxville, the "NVildorness; Spottsyl
vania, Cold Harbor, Fisher's Hill and
on to the end at Greensboro.
Briefly the explanation is, that on
that famous field, the bloodiest in
percentage of losses of the war, there
were two flag iueidents between brave
old Kershaw of the FirBt South Caro
lina brigade and two of his no less
brave color-bearers, Kvins of tho
Third battalion and Lamb of the
Third regiment, brought about by the
effort of Kershaw to change the direc
tion of his march and under fire and
ahilrt every part of thw brigade was
pushing to the front in that famous
assault on Snodgrasa Hill, as before
! said the bloodiest of the war of tho
sixties, not excepting the railroad
cut slaughter at Stcood Maoassas or
the bloody lane at Sharpsburg, the
stouo wall, Marye Hill at Fredericks
burg or the third day at Gettysburg.
I write solely in tho interest of
keeping tho record straight and for
the truth of history, and trust that I
have made it sufficiently plain to re
move doubts or misapprehensions as
to these occurrences, and in writing
hope that I have not left ground for
impression that any one in either
command was lagging at Chiokamauga,
or that there was call for personal ex
ample by Gen. Kershaw; far from it,
fori have always said that, although
it was but a little more than two
months after the groat reverse at Get
tysburg, I never saw our boys in bet
ter spirits, never saw them go into
battle in batter shape. Both Lamb
and Kvins were stricken down badly
wounded in this battle.
The Third regiment never had its
flag captured in battle. The old flag
I was spirited away from Greensboro at
! the time of the surrender, the 26th of
April, 1865. And our former cap
tain, 11. P. Todd, then lieutenant
colonel, being in command of the Third
! regiment, and the "Briars" being ono
of the eolor companies, the flag was
brought home by our company and
has ever since been, and is still, in
our care.
? I send this to'your widely circulated
and justly popular paper, hoping that
some at least of those who have felt
sufficient interest in this matter to
discuss it heretofore, may see it, and
will ask our country papers to re
print it.

As the Civil war recedes farther and
further from the present day there
looms larger and larger in the story of
it the figure <{' Gen. Robert K. Lee,
the adored leader of the Confederate
armies. There is Bcaraely a houae
hold of importance in the South io
which some story of him is not proud
ly told, but few illustrate the quali
ties for which he was beloved better
than these which the New Orleans
Times Democrat received from a wo
man who met the general on his la^t
retreat
The army had halted two miles from
Petersburg, on the road to Appomat
iox, and General Lee and his stair had
been asked to dinner at the home of a
well known jurist at Summit, iced
inint-julip was the favorite beverage
f Virginia gentlemen in those days,
and when the stall and guests had as
sembled, just before diuuer wa9 an
nounced, the glasses were passed.
encrai Lee was iu conversation with
a young lady. He offered his glass to
her. after the old >ty 1 e, then barely
raised it to his lips, and set it down
untasted. He took up and drank in
stead a glass of water. Looking
round the room, where all the mer.
were drinking with relish, he said:
"Do you know, I really believe this
glass of water refreshes the inner man
far more than the julep.-'
Kven his host's famous'liquor could
not tempt him. It was said that a
bottle of brandy presented to the gen
eral before the war was returned to
the giver unopened after the surren
der, with the ret pues t that she would
use it in some ease of need.
At the dinner General Lee took a
cup of coffee and added sugar and
cream. It was especially fine .Java,
brought in before,the war, and his
hostess exclaimed, "Oh, General Lee!
Do you take cream in your after-din
ner coffee."
"I haven't tasted coffee for so long,"
h<- said, smiling, "that lam afraid to
take it iu its full strength."
"It is true," said one of his staff,
later. ' Kvery bit of cotlco that has
come into his hands he has always
sent it to the hospital."
As he rode away from Summit on
famous horse, Traveler, he passed the
home of a poor old woman who had
sent her sons to the army. The
youngest, whom she called "Dolly,"
was her special pet. Like every poor
Southero woman, sho believed Gen
eral Lee was the personal protector of
her son. When she saw bim she rush
ed out and caught his bridle.
"O, General Lee," she oried,
"What's become of my Dolly?"
Although he was even then without
hope of saving his army, and was en
grossed with plans for making the last
desperate stand in the faint possibility
of a union with GeneralJohnston, tno
irreat leader, divining at once that
"Dolly" must be a soldier son, replied
in his gentlest manner:
"Madam, if you tell me Dolly's
name and the name of his company
and command, I will try to find out fori
you."
His hostess said that as ho rode
away all the tales.she had beard and
read of warriors and their deeds rush
ed to her mind, and sho felt that
never were their qualities of courtesy
and chivalry personated in another as
in the South's general.?Youth's

Her Nightmare.
"I had such a horrible dream last
night," said Mrs. Gushington, acoortl
ing to tho Chicago llccord-Herald. "I
shudder every time I think of it."
"I never mind dreams," replied
Mrs. Ka Flippe. "They don't mean
anything. What they arc depends on
what you've been eating."
"Yes, I suppose that's true, but
this one sticks in my mind.' It hes
made me fcsl depressed ail day."
"What was it?"
"I* dreamed that I was dead and
gone to heaven."
"Dear me! Still, as long as you
went to heaven I shouldn't think it
would make you feel so bad.' Per
haps heaven wasn't what we've been
taught to expect it to be. No streetB
paved with gold, no angels with wings,
no?"
"Oh, yes, it was perfeotly grand, as
far as the looks of the plaoe went.
There was the loveliest music, and all
the angels were as beautiful as they
oould be, and everywhere, as far as I
could see, the scene was just?well,
heavenly) Nothing more splendin
oould possibly be imagined. But there
wasn't a deok of oards in the whole
plaoe aod there wasn't anybody there
who would even talk about bridge.'

Potato Which is Fruit
San Francisco, May 4.?The Ex
aminer Bays that Luther liutbaok,
of Santa Rosa, lias succeeded in pro
ducing another wonderful creation
which will come under the head of
potato experiments and is known as a
potato fruit. Briefly summarized, the
evolution is a matter of planting a
tuber and gathering from the potato
vine a lusciou> white fruit, one that
is delightfully palatable and makes
excellent preserves.
Mr. Burbauk has named the potato
fruit "pomato." When compared
with a tomato the pomato is smaller
in size and its meat is white instead
of red. It is highly flavored. In
other words, it is a flavor of a fruit
rather than a potato. Mr. Burbank
speaks of the creation of the pomato
as resulting from the turning of the
plant life in an opposite direction.
"Instead of cultivating the tubers
we now cultivate fruit, aud tubers are
of secondary consideration," he said.,
''the fruit on the vine being the main
object."
Mr. Burbank has now some 10,000
varieties of potatoes with which he is
experimenting. Most of them 'are
hybrid seedlings of his own creation.
A Joke That Went Wrong.
"The "hunch," which may be call- !
ed a premonition, is a wonderful
thirjLr. That it exists there is no
doubt. Almost everybody has
"huoches" now and then, and they
usually say they "worked out." Hay
Clark, a traveling man who is at the
Coates House, was in a sleeper bound
for Texas recently when he had a
"hunch" that an accident was about
to happen. "It worried me so I dress
ed and went into the smoker, three
cars ahead," said Clark the other
uight. "Fifteen minutes later a
broken rail wrecked the train and the
j sleeper turned completely over, in
I juring two dozen people. I ebcaped
without a bruise." A doctor who lives
at the hotel smiled at this. "I had
a queer 'hunch' once myself," he
said. "I was in Denver and was
walking along a very dark street about
midnight. Suddenly a 'hunch' told
me to turn oft the street or I would
be killed by a footpad. I pulled my
self together and scoffed at it. Half
a block further a man stepped out of
an alley and raised an iron pipe over
my head. The blow, I knew, would
kill me.v i;What happened?" asked
Clark. "Why," replied tho doctor,
"the 'hunch' 'made good.'. The pipe
came down on my head and knocked
my brains out." The doctor slapped
his sides and laughed heartily. Clark
was silent a moment. Then he said:
"Well, doctor, I've often wondered
what was wrong with you. That'ex
plains it." The doctor did not join
in the laugh that followed.
The South Needs Immigrants.
South Carolina, with 14,000,000
acre? of unoccupied land, has come
forward with a plan that seems to of
fer much in the way of solving the
immigration problem. The State
needs new white blood to work tho
mines and fields, and while this situa
tion has beten made known for many
years in tho usual way, it has not
brought such results as are desired.
Now the Slate has opened, headquar
ters in New York city, under the
charge of the State commissioner of
immigration, and an effort will be
made to direct new comers to the op
portunities in tho South.
It is a fact that a very large propor
tion of the immigrants reaching New
York have no definite idea of where
they can locate to tho best advantage,
and the result is that most of them re
main in the cities to eke out a miser
able living. Could they but know
that broad aoros awaited their willing
I hands, and that rewards for labor in
thai, direction would exoeod anything
offered by the big cities, it is believed
that they would gladly take advantage
of the opportunity.
The South is peculiarly suited by
olimate and resources to the people of
Southern Europe, but they are not
generally informed Of this. The con
sequenoe is that section has failed to
receive its share of the immigration,
while other parts of the country, and
the large oitics, are being ovororowd
ed.
Yet it cannot be said that there are
too mauy people in this country so
long as vont tracts of land remain un
tilled for lack of workers, and, after
nil, it may be that the moBt serious
problem in connection with immigra
tion is that of distribution. If South
Carolina should get enough immigrants
to work her 14,000,000 aorcs it is ob
vious that the situation would be
much improved at onoe.- Minneapolis

A Soldier's Nerve.
Ooc day an army surgeon was dress
ing -the wound of a sjldier who had
been shot in the neck near the carotid
artery.
Suddenly the bloodvessel gave way,
and just as quickly the surgeon thrust
his finger iuto the hole to stop the
flow.
"Doctor," said tb<5 soldier, "what
does that mean?','
"It means death," Baid the surgeon
calmly.
"How long can I live?" asked the
soldier, whose mind was perfectly
clear.
"Until ? remove my finger," said
the doctor.
The 6oldier asked for pen and paper,
wrote his will and an affectionate let
ter to his wife, and when the last
thing was done said quietly:
"Let it go."
The surgeon withdrew his finger,
the blood rushed out, aod in a few
moments the man was dead.
She Recognized The Bishop.
Bishop Coleman of Delaware, the
Episcopal dignitary who every sum
mer makes a two or three weeks' tour
over the country, trauipi?g incoguito,
is a man of tremendous appetite, and
is proud of it. But a story is related
of a Kent county housewife who got
the best of him. She was the learned
prelate's hostess on one of his tramp
ing tours, and knowing very well who
he was, set before him a dinner fit for
a man of gre-t labors. The bishop
appreciated her cooking highly and
told her so, but he was unprepared
for her rejoinder: "Bless ye, bishop,
eat your fill, for I love to see you eat;
eat till ye bu'st; I wish you would!"
Dividing The Work.
Elder Elgeconib was for many years
pastor of the Tree Baptist Church in
Vienna, Maine, in which town lived a
simple minded man, named Perry
Wood.
. (Joe hot Sunday in the summer the
parson had occasion to admonish 6ome
of his hearers for going to sleep during
the service. The next Sunday while
the minister was in the midst of his
sermon, he h<?ard something whizz
across the room aod strike the wall.
He continued his sermon, but kept
one suspicious eye on the congrega
tion. Soon he saw tbft ?impie minded
Perry, who was nittiog in the etove
room in the rear of the church, rise,
take an apple from his pocket and
bring his arm back preparatory 6 for
a throw at the head of a sleeping dea
con.
"Perry Wood," exclaimed the irate
parson, "put that apple up, and if
you ever throw another one in this
church I'll?"
"You hold right on, elder," broke
in the excited Perry, "you tend to
your preaching, and I'll keep them
awake."?Boston Herald.
The Reformative Looking Glass.
Some time ago a very clever story
appeared in one of the magazines. It
told of a desk mirror given by her
pupils to a public sohool teacher
wherein the teacher could look to see
hew pretty she was when oho smiled
aud how ugly when she frowned. The
mirror, so the story ran, transformed
the teacher from a crabbed and cross
charaoter to one that smiled and be
came popular.
The story contains a truth.
The problem in making tho world
better and brighter is to get people to
see themselves as others see them.
If, then, we could provide looking
glasses at every turn of life we almost
would be able to reform the world.
Ho who fumer, and fusses and
frowns over his task, being provided
with an ever-present mirror would be
able to size h m self up as others size
him. And. he who gets drunk, or
makes an ass of himself, could note
the process and be ashamed,
And she who is peevish and sour
and sulky might look and hate her
ways. For no matter how plain the
woman's faoo if ahe be but bright.aod
cheery her faco will be beautiful.
And no matter hew handsome in fea
ture the woman may be if she wears a
visage of discontent and moodineas
she will show herself ugly. The
handy mirror would reveal the ugli
ness and the woman?touched at a
v5u! pciut?-would redeem her fea
tures.
It is said no woman can pass.a mir
ror without looking into it?a good
habit that men might profit by. .
People are well behaved before
their mirrors. If the looking glass
could be kept before them frequently
enough they might bo uniformly well
behaved,

for vanity's sake, but character's.

Man in The Year 6C00 B.C. I
Tbc lcogtb of time man bas been
koown to inhabit this earth has been
proved to be at least 8,000 years. A. ,
M. Arneulinoau has issued ths Sr?i ,
volume of the history of his excava- ,
tioDS at Abydos, the sacred r?sidence
of Odiris. Here he has found pre
historic tombs, and from their con
tents he knows that they date back
8,000 years. Fortunately for the ex
plorer, thi Egyptian of that day
thought of death as a state so closely
allied to life that he would have
need of all tbe necessities und com
forts he bad used hpre. Consequently
these were placed beside him in his
tomb, and from them the nineteenth
century explorer can tell bow I
tbe people of the year 6,000 B. C.
lived, what they ate, how tboy dress
ed and v?hat was the range of mind
and civilization in that anoient time.
Cereals liko wheat and rye prove
tbe agricultural tastes of these people.
Date stones evidence the growth of
the palm. Ox and gazelle bones bIiow
that these men were not vegetarians.
Democratic iustinct was then alive,
for there are many specimens of or
naments which show great skill; beads,
metal bracelets and rings of various
sorts. Pottery, both for kitchen use
and for ornament, show that at first
this art was practiced before the knowl
edge of the potter's wheel and after
ward with its aid. The furniture was
found only in fragments, for most of
the wood bad rotted away, but the
ivory legs of sofas remained and are a
valuable find. They show that the
hippopotamus, whose tusks formed
these legs, was hunted by these early
Egyptians.
But one illustration shows us how
nearly those people were akin to the
people of today. This is the disoov- ;
ery in one of tbe tombs of what must
have served as a baby's nursing bot
tle in that far-away time and place.
It is au eanhern vase, with a hole in
the bide into which a bit of cloth
could be inserted that tbe baby might
draw milk from tbe vase.

Substitutions of Leather.
Leather is becomiog more and more
of a puzzle to retailers. Substitution
of leathers is now bo deftly practiced
that undoubtedly many a buyer iu
completely fooled. The tricks of the
tanoers are innumerable, and as these
are masked behind the practices of the
shoe manufacturer, the shoe retailer
has a tough proposition to ascertain
whether or not he is getting real or
imitation goods.
Cowhides and sheepskins are among
the cheapest hides and skins in the
market, but by a few clever manipula
tions tanners make them valuable. A
cowhide is tanned* Then it is put
through the splitting machine, which
machine is so delicately adjustable
that it will shave off leather as fine as
tissue paper.
For the tanner's practical purposes
it splits leather into any weight de
sired; a fine kid for a woman's shoe,
a heavier calf weight for boy's and
men's shoes, or even heavier stuokfor
workingmen's shoes. The lightweight
split is given a vici kid finish, the me
dium a vclour calf, while the heaviest
weight may be grained. Other splits
may be chrome tanned and given a
patent finish, and may be sold as pa
tent colt.
A sleek leather, especially cabretta
stock, is made into imitation of kid,
and large quantities of it arc sold as
suoh. Sheep leather is even given a
patent finish and sold as colt and kid.
