k IUYi.\G WAR SAMPS AT ELEVENTH HOI K i Rl'SH OK LATE PIKCHASERS ALMOST SWAMP OFFICE Only One Paymaster Help;n? as Yet. ^ Many Returns Filed Are Del'ecitve. i The State, Dec. 1. T.:e emergency revenue act passed by congress October 22 to make up the deficit in tariff receipts caused by I the war in Europe will go into effect today. Tv.e time for making returns under ihe act without incurring the 50 per cent, penalty expired last night at midnight. The office force of Duncan Clinch H-eyward, colector of internal revenue for South Carolina, 'has been working j night and day for the last ween in i the effort to keep pace with the demands made upon it by the provisions of the war revenue act. During the last three days over 2,000 letters have been received in the office, asking many questions about the scope of the emergency revenue act. Besides tnis heavy mail, the office forr;e Cias had to answer many inquiries over local and ! long distance telephones about t ;e new taxes imposed by the govern ment. Yesterday for hours the office was crowded with people who had Tvs it Art a?; ion? as oossible before buying the documentary and proprietary stajips which must be affixed to many articles sold today. .^lany Returns Defective. ^ Collector Howard said yesterday t^at he would consider any letter of inquiry received before midnight last night a tentative return and wonid I Iask the treasury department not to j impose the f>0 ptr cent, penahy upon ! citizens who had tried to inform then-. selves about tneir liability :o pay I taxes under f.:e war revenue act. He i j has mailed hundreds of blank or ins | to citizens who declared their identity \ I and their liability to taxation. About 40 per cent of the returns when sent j "back to his office have been found de- | lective in one or more partic iarsJ A frequent mistake was tae iauur ! I ? of t.:e citizen:^ waiving tne returns to j tave the form attested by a norryi public. These defective returns j have to be sent ba a l > the men wno 1 made t"em for correction In the j meantime the collector is holding the j cli?-.ks spnt in with V\-i detective re- | t:.rnt- r'ese amount to several | thousand dollar , I Yesteraay tue collector'^ entire of- i cficc wj-; kept seiling i stamps 10 *neet the local demand. He | lad given **ide publicity to ?:e lac* that postmasters and barters could lielp the revenue office aci oblige their customer* 1st orderir.-^ stamps and putting them 021 sale. Charleston Postmaster Helps. However, J. M. Poulnot, postmaster at Charleston, was r <e only postmaster who ordered a supply of the new revenue stamDS. Mr. Heyward had a \ large consignment slapped to>him yes-! terday. In consequence Charleston-j ians can buy revenue stamps today at the postoffice in thesr .city. Despite the wide publicity /iven " e provisions of C:e emergency revenue act, many citizens liable to taxation under it waited until the last moment to make iheir returns and to buy stamps. This has made the office force of the collector work under tremendous pressure during the last few days. T^ie office ftas been open for j the last two to three morning until | 4 a. m.

Longstreet got orders at midnight to have his men at a certain place by daylight to relieve our men already tkere of heavy pressure from jthe enemy. Our men there had been falling hack. The long roll was sounded. Longstreet's men had been asleep, but got up rubbing their eyes and scenting the battle afar. 'TJhey rolled up their blankets, strapped them, as they had done .so many times before, to th-eir harks and srot. in line. Talk about being brave?it is hard to be brav-e after being asleep like that; but we were ready for anything. At a time like t?at the North, South, East and West get mixed and a soldier steps high like a blind horse. There was a forced march of 14 miles. It was tramp, tramp, tramp the balance of the night, and no rest for the weary?and we were weary, but not always conscious o: it. When v;e got there, the sun had risen a little above the farthest trees. -As before a storm breaks everything for a brief time is strangely still, so one coukhhave heard a pin drop on a leaf just before we got into the fight at the Wilderness. General Kershaw ^ - 1 J ?- ?. ? AV * mm A J T11 *-* lOOKea aowil t-it; iuau. JUSI ullcii c, cannon boomed. Whirling his horse round, he commanded us: "By the right face, into line! Load at will!" Then we were in the Wilderness. It was a place thick with bushes, vines and trees. It was an awful place to get into line and keep in line, but we did. Longstreet and Kershaw could get us to do almost anything. Just about that time a line of our Confederate brethren, who ought to have been better soldiers, came out o.' the 'Wildreness past us. I am ashamed to tell it, but they were retreating, and were as scared as rats. We shout ed to them to stop and help us, that Longstreet had come, and had brought his "Bull Dogs" with 'him; but they went on, as the negroes say: "Whar they were gwine." Although they were so scared, they did manage to tell us not to shoot the line of men behind them. Directly another line of chickenhearted men?an Indian would say they were women?r>asced by us, following ! the others. V?* ried hard to get them i to ston and hell) us. but they would i not. Their eyes looked like the full! moon in August. They were whipped i all over. Longstreet did not have many men like that?no; nor Longstreet.

Keep in line, there!'' It was hard for them, as well as :?r us; but harder for them. They were moving forward, and we were standing still.; At first we could not see them, but' after a little we saw their feet approaching slowly, w:en t:~e enemy was 40 yards .away. Our orders were to shoot low, and take them at tie waist. Being: ready for them, and. they not knowing we were there as yet, we gave them a surprise vol ey and a hot reception. They did not wait for the second volley, hut liter-; ally fell and rolled back faster than they had come. They tore their uniforms on the snaggs, and vires scratched and cut them, as they fell over one another getting out of our "way. Bvery minute must have seemed an hour to them. The wounded Yankees who became our prisoners there told us that one of their commanders said: "Hell is J 'sere! Hell is here! It's Longstreet's men!" How lie knew Longstreet was there is more t':an I can say; but the prisoners said they knew as soon as tihat volley was fired that it was Longstreet's men. One poor wounded Yankee lay there begging for water. I went to him and poured some water irom my canteen into his. He drank and drank. He pulled out his purse and gave it to me. I looked into it, on/3 tVi ctTd woe o crnnrl .hi cr mil nf hillS! I a.iU Wi V/i V " UiJ U QWV/V4 W* Q * w**, v * w~--? ; but I gave it all back to him. He said he was going to die, and begged me to take it, as some one else would get it any way. I would not take his money, because I thought he m.gU not die and would neec. it. Afterwards I wished many a time, especially when in prison, that I had taken some and left ?him some; but it was too late. NOTICE TO CREDITORS.
