We were first put in warehouses near where the Jefferson hotel now stands, and fed on baker's bread antf boiled ham. In a few days we were carried to "Fair grounds." Here it was drill and guard duty. We were then ordt-red to Lightwood Knot Springs, seven miles from Columbia, on the Charlotte road. Before leaving Columbia some of the boys got in town without permissior and quite a number of them got in th^ guard house and a court martial was ordered to try them, but Col. James H. Williams reached the camp from Arkansas and the cases were dropped. After remaining for some time at this camp our regiment was transferred to the Confederate service. We were then giveif a few days at our homes and then we assembled and were carried to Richmond, Va. At Richmond Col. James H. Williams appointed this scribe his orderly, tvi* aftpr spending one day at regimental headquarters I deserted my post and returned to my company and got Capt. Davidson to get Col. Williams to excuse me. From Richmond we were carried to iVanas?as and farched from that pl?<^ to Fairfax Court House, wherp wo relieved Col. Gregg's six months troops and from this on we were where the fighting was usually the heaviest. W. G. P. Newberry Motor Company. i'Ihe Xewberry U.'otor Company handles the Oakland Six and is making good headway in building up a new automobile distributing agency in Xewberry. The company is a new organization, and is just now making demonstrations of this excellent medium nrir-pri and well recommended car. They also sell the well known and attractive Maxwell car. Both, of these cars are popular with the people who want a higher grade car at a medium price. Mr. C. L. Watkins is the manager of the new company. He has secured sales rooms just north of the Hotel Savoy, where he takes pleasure in showing the demonstration cars. Mr. Watkins has been in the automobile business now for eight years, four in Camden and four in Newberry, and he is in position to know a good machine when he sees it. He is a practical as well as a theoretica. man and has selected these two cars as dmcng me lii<k, iue xautuij' iuiuo out and he feels confident of a satisfied customer when he places either one of them and for that reason can heartily recommend them to the trade. There are no better cars mad-e than these?the Maxwell and the Oakland? and the prices are reasonable. Why pay more when you can get Just as gcod, or better, and more serviceable car for less. 4 ?
