REMINESCENCES OF JOHN C. BEliLERH. Mr. Sellers Writes Interestingly of u Peri?Ml When History Was Being Made. November 1864 at the age of 17 years, I was a student at the Citdel. 1 had just comleted the oourse of the first year at the Arsenal in , Columbia, (on the lot where the Governor's mansion now stands) and had begun the studies of the third class at the Citadel when the whole batallion was ordered to Talafinny Creek on the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, where a large force of the enemy from Beaufort were trying to get possession of the railroad. Fighting began early in the morning and was going on about two miles south of the railrno A whnn . M4? si Tf ucu i?c miuicu IU uie ttiternoon. The train was stopped where the firing could be heard, we hastily disembarked. The batallion fell in and we were doublequicked towards where the fighting was going on. Soon the whistling of the minnie balls could be heard, and when they became more frequent, some of the boys, all of us going at double quick, threw their deck of cards away. The road was lined with cards and when the fighting was all over, several days afterwards, there were only two decks of cards in Company "B" and I was the proud possessor of one of these decks. Until others could be procured at the Butler's tent, 1 was the most popular boy in company "B," for the boys would come in droves to my camp fire to play my cards. The firing on both sides ceased before we arrived at the scene of the fight and we fell back to the railroad where we spent the night. The next day our batallion with the 4 7th and 32nd Georgia and a battery of artillery moved towards the 1 coast and about three miles from the railroad we struck the Yankees, j and a hot fight ensued which continued until late in the afternoon, i One of our boys was killed and a number were wounded. While we were off fighting the Yankee's breastworks were thrown up near the parallel with the railroad, and that night we fell back and slept in j the breastworks. In a few days a| large force of the enemy appeared and charged the breastworks, behind which we were lying. Maj. J. B. White, who afterwards lived and died in Marion, was in command. He acted with great coolness and bravery that day . He would canter up ! and down the line on his horse, | commanding us to hold our fire until the word of command was given. | The Yankees came on a run, yelling j and shooting, while we lay perfectly still behind the breastworks, and when the Yankees got through a swamp in our front and out into an onen fipld Moi WliW? , amuj. " UUV JUCC 1ULU his stirrups and gave tbe command, "Attention Batallion, ready, aim, fire; continue firing." We had been well drilled for a year or more, and when the command, fire, was given, it sounded as only one gun was fired. Such was the effect of the tire that the Yankee troops (negroes! fell back in great confus. ion and with great loss. All the wounded, and there were a great many, fell into our hands. ILc Yankees never tried to cut the railroad any more during the war, but contented themselves with running up a battery of artillery about a mile from the railroad which point they shelled every passing train. The only casualty from this shelling was on W. D. Palmer, a member of Company B and now a afominent farmer near St. Stephens, who was struck <>1. the hand by a solid shell I and to-day Js a one arm Confederate soldier. I was within a few feet of him when he was hit. In fact, he was in the act of bringing my frying pan back to my fire when he was struck bv the shell which did not happen to explode. Our camp was in the woods north of the railroad. We had no tents, our covering was no more than the clouded canopy and the starry decked heaven, and it was very cold that winter, but there was plentv of wood to burn, and so we got along fairly welt. Near Christmas the Yin kees withdrew their forces and we were ordered to James Island, where we did picket duty, twenty-four hours on and twenty-four hours off, till uie night of February 17th, 1865, | when Charleston was evacuated and i all the troops on the coast were hastened to Cheraw where we got in front of Sherman's army. From Cheraw, we marched to Fayetteville, N. C. When we got to Fayetteville j a I was so completely fagged out that j 1 was sent to the hospital while my i command passed on across Cape : Fear river. The next morning just before day, 1 was put on a flat car with hundredth of others and car-, ried to a place then called Egypt and now Cuninod and then the term-i nus of the railroad in Chatham county, N. C. There were about I 200 of the sick ones and we were j quartered in a large open barn I where there was plenty of hay to make comfortable beds. In a few days it was reported that the Yan-i kees were in a few miles of the place, and to avoid capture, 400 of us who were able to travel, were transferred to the Raleigh hospital sua we struck off through Chatham and Wake county in the direction of Raleigh. It was a splendid country through which we passed, and the people were very kind to us, giving us all we could eat, of which they seemed to have an abundance. As good rations and rest was what I most needed, having been almost starved and worked to death for four or five months, I began to improve wonderfully. I reached the railroad a few miles above Raleigh at a place called Morrlsville and just as I Bat down on the steps I heard a train blow, and when it rolled up to the station, to my surprise and great joy, my command was on board on their way back to South Carolina, under orders from Gov. Magrath. A member of my company who was with me from Fayetteville stopped just before I got to Morrlsville and I have never seen him from that day to this. We went on to Greensboro, N. C., then down to Charlotte, N. C.. and from there to Chester, S. C. Prom Chester we marched across se the country to Shelton where w%e re boarded a train for Spartanburg and th were quartered in Wofford College, su when we heard of Lee's surrender, wl While we were at Wofford College, th one of our boys died, Tom Johnson, wi of Newberry county. The other nc member of our company from New- fo berry was George Johnson, now the be leading criminal lawyer of the at State. From Spartanburg we marched across the country to Greenville, Cs where on April 29, we were given a co 20 day's furlough by Major White so and we have not reported for duty th yet. From Greenville to Alston I in had transportation by rail, but from na Alston home 1 footed every step, tic reaching home the night of May 4, 1865, just 4 6 years ago. My peo- |>| pie had not heard a word from me or know where I was from February 17th, when Charleston was evacuated till 1 got home. You can imagine there was joy and happiness in that househould that night. The other member of the Citadel Cadets from Marion District (as r then called) were R. K. Clark, who ' had two years of service in the ar- *e my of northern Virginia previous ? to his admission to the Acedemy. i * He was afterwards Clerk of Court ' and Treasurer of Marion county . S? 1 ,? - wi utiu ib iuu? siul'c ueaa. 1 ue oiner ^ was James Ferrel who came from . the west side of Pee Dee, and I t think now lives at Salters. He, too, * had seen service and lost an arm . in Virginia, but cirppled as he was, . " he stayed with us to the end. . It is a sad commentary on the educational enterprise of Marion . District previous to the war that !l there was only one graduate of the Citadel before I860, and that was Washington Pinckney Shooter. . a brother of AJlbert Shooter. When \ war broke out he had just been " admitted to the bar and was editor V'? of the Marion Star. When Company ^ E., the first Company from Marion. ' he was elected 1st Lieutenant, Matt *" P.. Stanley, Captain, and was the drill master and brought the com- .. puny to great efficiency. Upon the ,u, re-oiganization he was elected Cap- 1 ' tain, and with his company went to . Virginia as a part of Gregg's fam- ? oils Regiment, 1st South Carolina Volunteers. successive promu- ^5 tions he was made Lieutenant C??*- tJ w.i* i ui nit* '.igimeni, and on Muy " 1 2, lstf4. was killed while in comniiind of the regiment. On the same t. day his brother Evander Shooter, . was killed, as was also Frank Rob- 1 erts, John Hodges, Hurdy Lewis, ' Calvin Moody, all of this county. : * Col. Shooter's brother, Charles, was ' killed only six days previous. I 1 am glad to know that since the re-opening of the Citadel in 1882 Marion has furnished a large num- ? ber of young men who hold diplo- . ' mas from that splendid institution. J; John Sellers. F] MAN SHOULDN'T WED. U~ j Let Wi/ey Stay in Bed, Take Her Chocolate, Advises a Chieago ) udge. Chicago, June 21. ? The spoon that stirs the soup is the symbol of domestic felicity and the husband should learn to use it as well as ^ the wife, said Municipal Judge Ce Goodnow to-day when he was called te on to censure a man who, unable to tlr cook, had forced his wife to Pa arise at 3:30 a. m. to get his break* last. The judge is a good chief w' himself, and is proud of it. The man that can't cook shouldn't *18 think of getting married," said *? Judge Goodnow. "He is a pitiable co object. Let the June bride be- alj ware of her husband if he cannot toss the piping flapjack or coax the ntl flavor from the carrot to the soup. \ alj MTho 1 ' tu6ttScu e?rj usually does; not consider in her beautiful dream of things as they should be the te drowsy breakfast time. That's to where the husband's business of cooking comes in. *** "L?et him jump cheerfully from or the bed, tell the wife to snuggle ve comfortably in the blankets and ag then let him go down and turn out Ca a mess for himself and wind up by |?f carrying her a cup of chocolate before he hikes for the 7:15. Don't you see that her harmless illusions will thrive and help their married i life? Yc "I'm a mamma boy, if that what ch it is, and I'm proud of it." fit Sea Island Cotton in Louisiana. 1 CI Yc The following dispatch from New Orleans will be of interest to plant- *? ers in this section of the country: 1 "It is now entirely probable that jth the growing of sea island cotton will become general in Southern Louisiana parishes. Planters are watch- v' ing the one hundred acres of the *1 long staple planted by George Jur-.?' gens in Plaquemine Parish which are said to be better developed and in much better condition than the fo stands of ordinarv stanio nearby fields. "Jurgens experimented with small patches and was rewarded with ex- \V cellent results, New Orleans grad-1 ers rating samples as high grade and worth 4 0 cents a pound. The ra one hundred acres are separated ! tb from the boll weevil infested fields I PI by a large cane-producing section is /extending over forty miles. The1 e\ seed was secured from the Caroli- ni nas. It is predicted that thousands sf of acres will be put in sea island es cotton next season in the southern bt section of the State." * ' The seed with which the experi- oi ments in Louisiana were made came nj from the sea iBlands of this State, ' if our information is correct. The pi I grade of the cotton, however, is not di (the best, being of a type similar to th . that used in Georgia and Florida. Only in favored spots even on the th islands is it possible to produce the ti< very best grades at a profit, large- w 1 ly because the better the grades the th smaller the production per acre. T1 i With the seh. island cotton market ri , in such shape that everywhere the oi I planters have been turning to m short cotton to help them out, it in is difficult to Bee juBt how Louis- th j lana growers expect to make a sue-, cc i cess of their undertaking. They fii | may be able to counteract the ef-i O | fects produced by contracted plant- gi ing in the present sea island area,; ra though that will be of no advantage in to them, but the reverse. Yet if b? Louisiana should become a great p< a island cutton State the untimate^ suit would, we think, be good for i I e entire industry. It would a?-|| ire spinners of a better supply, hich should have a good effect on < e market, and it might in this (s ay enlarge the demand. No mo- < >poly is profitable unless a demand ji r the thing monopolized has first1' eu created, and a strong demand < that. < The sea island industry in South irolina is not in an encouraging J ndition and has not been for1 me time. Is there any reason why | e crop should be more profitable Louisiana thun in South Caroli- j i, its natural home and the loca>n of its developments?
