<+ ? ' ? 4 V ^ I ? ^XPEML.NIES IS SOL- t1 <y DIEK LIFE. < > ? ?e> By Dr. It. c. KiDier. v -$> 4- <$ ?> ^ $ < > <? <j> <$> <s> v?> & ?$> <e> <$> / In a preliminary way, I want to say that for sometime no article has appeared from me. I kaive not been so /ell, and Rev.. Y. von A. Riser, who is my stenographer and editor, has fceen busy; but I tope to write a few more war articles. I am now at my brother, J. A. C. Kibler's, where I have lately come on an extended visit; but L my home is still in Decatur, Ga. r Two days' maroi out o. Fredericksburg, Va., one night I was on picket all night, and so close was the enei Bay that I could hear the men talking, r J felt rather lonely out there all by myself. But it was not my first experience on picket lines; so I knew I could do it, even if I did get a little ?cared sometimes. About midnight everything got quiet, and I got sleepy. Actually I in ad to put tobocco juice into my eyes to keep them open. That was decidedly the longest nigit of the war for me. When long?looked-for t Joxr ns>ma el/vwlv vprv slowly. from r ^ ? ' the east I went to where the camp had been. To my surprise there was nothing there 'but a few straggling men, most of them picket men like myself, 1 suppose. *For a while we did not *now what to do nor where to go. The Yankees had been right over ^ tfc-ere, and our army was now gone; the Yankees might swoop down on ?s few men at any time and kill us Icr take us prisoners. I did not like either foorn of the dilemma; so we finally trailed off on the track of our men, who had gone towards Fredericksburg. We learned later that the | Yankees had retired that night. We marched all day. Tirea and sleepy we were, but we never stopped anywhere long. We wanted to l catch up. Have you never heard a R> littlp r\hi]r? fallip? behind its parent F?r friend, cry and say: TvVlait for me! Wait or me! Boo, roo, hoo! I say wait for me now!" Well, that describes the feeling we ?'".ad. Tfce Yankees --were somewhere near us, we thought, and our men gone on ahead, we did not know how far. If our men could hai.e heard us we might 'have said: "Wait for us now. You had ho business to leave us." That night or very !ate in the day, we caught | up. We went into camp for tne nig t. k I knew I could sleep anywhere: so 'I got three fence rails, laid t/em across a ditch. Wrapping myself up in my blanket, I stretched out my ' "weary limbs on the rails,i and there, i in tlie rain, over rushing and angry waters below, slept ti e sleep of the | just. The next day we were up early and marching towards Fredericksburg, which place we reacthel that nitfhi. fe It <was rather late \v en we got into cart: p. I was so cold that I tremble J L'-like a leaf. 1 was so cold I did not Y tee' like making a fire. I looked L around, and Company E . ad a good fire. I asked them to let me warm. V I knew most of the men in that comW ,?)any, and they let me warm. After warming up, I sat down with my back to a tree, still near the fire, and went to sleep, thinking only to remain there a lit^e v.< ile. When I -woke it was day Tie next night I had to dig breastl wo: is. One hundred and fifty men. I more or less, worked w:ere I did all ' night. Tnat was another pretty long night, but 'hard as the work was it "was better than fighting with, "bullets flying around you all the time. At daylight the next morning our regiment was called up, and we were am-ong them, as tired and sleepy as twe were, and set in battle array. As ?6on as the fight began we were taken S out of that part of the field and sent to another place, where we "were fe needed worse, I suppose. We were ^aaarched along tie road that led to the city. Several Yankee guns of big calibre were shelling that part of the road just then and a number of shells fcurst near us. One struck a post TK)st near me and. exploding shattered - me post into splinters; many pieces shell and "post fled about me; one K fragment of shell struck Lieut. Peis ter; taking off his lef at the hip, He fell mortally wounded and expired W in about 20 minutes. He was a great I man and a good soldier. 'Now the fight was on in great earyv* r* -n*r? n iw*\a^a4^ n V O ?? 1^'T CI J III d II Y> CA^CVtClU t to do his duty. I tried to do mine, k and all the owners I saw did the same, M^wccept one man. I will not tell his Bie. He Ciad tried to dodge out of ^fight, but was being driven in at froint of the bayonet of Mr. George 'Strange to say, that man, Kd into the fight, as he was, was Hd almost before the fight began. Rnisrht rave hart a nrp^pntimp-nt nr I Imagined he had, and held back on count of it. I have heard some men hr they believed in presentiments, K I have not said I did; yet there [gilt be something in it. That man was the only man -we lost * ? that day. We had the advantage o. fi'.t ting behind a stone wall?after we .got to it. Tat welcomed stone wall, , it seemed to me, was a mile long. We lay there and let tae enemy come up to take us, and at 70 yards we let them have what we had for their ; reception, and tney fell?poor fellows I?like autumn leaves. We were glad j to kill them there to keep them from killing us; lbut rt was awful! Six times they came, and six times they i were shot down. Not many returned I tn their ram,i>s They did not attack us the ne:xt day. : On the nig* t aft er t're carnage I could hear the wounded Yankees pitifully calling to their friends, the enfcmy, anybody, for God's sake, to bring them rwater?"water, water." They called for some one to take them away, but fc'e Yankees were afraid to i ar.proach. A* lot of those poor men +V10+ ?JcrV?+ f/\y a <rr/\n rt/? xcfl? i * V/V U11CLI/ ^ i VMUU ? ??w covered 'with snow and ice. The next morning I went out over the field of battle. It was ghastly; Dead men everywhere! In places tfne corpses were piled up three or :our on a pile. The space was about ten acres., I never saw suca a sight anywhere else. We went into winter quarters there, | A'ith the Yankees still in t':e city be; fore us. Gen Jackson wanted to shell 'the city, but Gen. Lee would not consent, saying there were women and children there. A Yankee lieutenant! ' told me afterwards that if we had shelled the city we would fcave gotten ; all tte Yankee troops, as they were in | no position to make much of a defence, j During our stay there I had a good ; time, receiving boxes of good things | frorcn home, soaring with my fellows ^ and ibemg shared with. * White Ribbons Echoes. The Woman's Christian Temperance i union of the State of South Carolina,1 held its 31st annual convention in tte First Baptist church of Florence, Oc-; to?er 30-Novem?>er 1. It was a most enjoyable and helpful occassion. The homes of iFlcreace vied with each other in the hospitality shown us; \ and a pleasant social tea was given s by the local union at t':e residence ol their president, Mrs. W. M. Waters.! The automobile drive to tlie different points of interest in the city, particularly to the State Re ormatory, was appreciated. Here we examined carefully the baskets, ^porch swings and chairs made bv these bovs. and the processes gone through in the making were exp]ainel We visited the dormatory with its double-deckers, where three of t'.'-e little fellows were a-bed sick. Florence is cursed with two dispen- j saries; it seems that the wide-awake president cf the local union (I was j told rhat she is a jewel) and tve num- j erous churches of all denominations, j cusM to have made this impossible. ! 'The Srete president o-f Plentucky W. j C. T. U. ^rs. Francis E. Beaud; amp, j was our principal speaker and she j made several fine addresse to crowd j ed houses. Her address Sunday morn-! ing at. t" e Baptist church, treating the subject of temperance from the stand-1 point of science, was one of the best | presentations of the kind I ":ave ever j heard. Sunday evening the exercises j were held in the largest church in the j -"x? .n? Al ^4- ; cilj?Lilt' utrdUL.iUi ucv> ;viui< uujol? | but the crowd was so immense that! the s.'ides to the S.

' The singing all through the conven-! tion was unusually good, "being lei 'by ! 'Mrs. J. L. Wysong with a large choir, i The children's exercises, Saturday j evening attracted a great crowd. The very large space next tfce organ could not hold the choir o: children, many of whom had to help sing from the ' hrvdv of thp church. The cutest thing: was the 3 or 4 year old boy of Mrs. Wysong's standing ia the front row ,and singing with all his might and main. rPbe white ribbon tied around the arm of Mrs. C. A. Waters little j two year old formed an interesting I feature of this entertainment. What j j took Mrs. Beauchamp's eye was the j use made of young boys just budding j into manhood in a rollicking quartette j Saturday evening and again in a re-j j ligious quartette Sunday afternoon at j citizen's meeting. She said we ought to make just t':is use of boys of this age before they become so self-conscious as to break down before a j crowd. One of the most thrilling o" j the duets was "My Mother's White Ribbon.*' Because tlbere were not a sufficient j number present to mafc-e a quorum j (six being required) the regular ^ ^ j J2& IB -Mr iIBSBB \i & Every individual flatters himself that KS he knows how to select clothes.
