The trip on the cars from Fort Mill to Pinners' Point was a delightful one. The rain which was falling when we left Fort Mill must h.we been general, for all the way the air was cool and pleasant. We left Charlotte about 5.30 p. m. andd began our long journey. The route which the officials Hn<1 selected was by Danville, thence to Mocksvilie and on to Norfolk. The train made only two stops between Charlotte and Danville, a stop of a few minutes was made at Spencer to change engines and a short stop at Greensboro. Colonel Lewis showed good judgement when he asked that the train give Salisbury the "high ball." We reached Danville at 12 o'clock and in a few minutes the second section came in. I might here say that the regiment was traveling in two sections, the companies from Port Mill, Rock Hill, Yorkville, Horn well, and the Quartermastjr's department being on section lumber one, while the rest of he regiment was on section num)er two. After a few minutes >tay at Danville we were transferred to the Mocksvilie division >f the Southern. As this was a new section of he country to the most of us, a ihort description of it might be nteresting to Times readers. ?he railroad runs through a low, evel stretch of country filled with orchards and fields of corn and >eanuts. There were a great nany apple trees in these orhards filled with apples, but the vritcr did not see over a dozen >each trees with any peaches on in them. As we neared the bay, he country began to fill up with n ATT 1 n ? ? mi initio, xn un. i, wc jseiw mure nmber on this trip and more nills in operation than we had ver seen before. One mill in articular had nine smokestacks, nd the whole yard was filled nth oak, pine and chestnut lumber. At about 8.30 Thursday mornr.g we reached the Point and at nee went aboard the boat for he sail across Hampton Roads o the exposition grounds. This vas the first time that some of he boys had ever been on water ind they certainly did enjoy heir sail. In fact, vtre all enoyed it. It was a pretty sight is well as an inspiring one to ee GOO men on one boat with he United States and South Car lina flags flying in the breeze, vhile the band on the prow of he boat was playing that heartvanning piece, "Dixie." There vere a good many pleasure oats in the Roads besides the ishing smacks. All of them :ave us the customary salute of hrce short blows of the whistle, vhile the boys would answer hem with a cheer. The captain of our boat was a :ood jovial fellow and seemed to ake a delight in answering the oys' questions. Whenever anyhing of interest would come in ight he would tell us about it without being asked. As we amp near the exposition grounds 1 he battle ships came into sight, ^hey were the "Texas," "Brook yn," "Maine" and a Monitor, nd three Brazilian men of war. Ve did not sail close to them, so ould see very little of them. At ibout 9.15 our boat anchored at >iney Beach pier and we at once lisembarked and took up the narch to camp. After being in i cool sea breeze for 45 minutes, his march certainly was hot. fortunately. Col. Lewis had orlered each man to fill his canteen ind we suffered no hardship from thirst. Our cam]) was about a quarter >f a mile from the exposition grounds. The camp ground was evel and sandy, but too low for m ideal place for a camp. As oon as we reached the grounds, ve began to prepare for our stay. The tents were already up. Each nan was issued a cot, mattress md blanket and soon we were all omfortably housed. Our only lardship on this day was the ack of something to eat. For iome unavoidable reason we were ssued no rations until late in the , rpL .. * uieiuuuu. j. ue umcers, nowev!r, were very considerate and jave us permission to go up town o get something to fill the inner nan. Besides the hardship, or ather inconvenience experienced he first day, we experienced ony one other hardship. On Frilay night it simply poured down ain and on Saturday there were ibout eight inches of water in ?ur mess hall. The boys, howiver, offered no objection to eatng their meals on the woodpile >r ground. All they asked was hat "the bull be put to thein." )ur mess hall was a long tent :over^d with rubber roofing and veatherboarded with gauze wire, t contained two long tables with >enches on each side. Our fare vas better than could be expect J our duties might show how w ' passed the time. Revielle wa 1 sounded at 5.30. To some of u ' j this was the most unpleasar ' sound that we had ever heart] ; To roll out of a nice warm be and answer roll call was not muc i fun. We then had to drill fror ;' 7 until 8. At 0 o'clock guar I mount took place. My! but vol i unteers do hate guard duty. Nc one of the boys grumbled or com plained or offered an objectioi i but still all certainly hate to d it. After guard mount we wer free until 5.39 in the afternoon At six o'clock we went on dres parade. From 7 until 10.50 a night was our own. I forgot i | say that we had dinner at 1 o' clock and supper at seven. The exposition is very pood j The majority of us had nevei 1 seen one before so we do no know whether it compares favor j ably with other expositions o: : not. Of course the first tiling ' that we hunted up was th< | South Carolina exhibit. It i: | situated in the States' Exhibi Building and is a credit to th< | State. The agricultural anc manufacturing developments oi the State are shown off to good advantage. We heard one Yankee say in that peculiar brogue of theirs, "By God, that darr little State raises everything." To judge from our exhibit one would think that he had spoken the truth. We looked everywhere to see what Fort Mill and The Fort Mill Manufacturing Co. were doing but so far as I could see there was "nothing doing." It is really an education to go ir this States' Exhibit Building and | one could spend two days there ! very profitably. The writer foi ' example, had no idea that there ! were such line pecans grown in the State. We wish that we hac : time and space to go more into ! the details in regard to this exhibit. The side shows are not as good as they could be. There are three shows on the War Path, the "Battles of Gettysburg," "Manassas," and the "Merimac and the Monitor" which are well j worth the price. The first twe pictures are elycloramic paintings ' They are indeed fine pieces of T<- : ~?M.i_ iii - <xi 1-. It 1? LU IU1I tnt actual ground from the canvass. ! We remember especially that ir | one place a rail was half on the canvass and half on the ground S and no one in the crowd could , say for certain which half was j on the gronnd and which was on the canvass. The battle between the "Merrimac and Monitor" is a moving picture battle. It certainly does excite one to watch | the two ships manouver back and ' forth. There is one other good show and that is the Wild West , show. Here one can see good | riding and shooting besides the war dances of the Indians. Wc would advise all who go to the I exposition to see these shows. The members of Co. "K" were especially proud the last twe days we were there to see our captain act as major of thebatallion. Private Bradford hit the nail on the head when he said, "By Gosh, it's Major Spratl now." Well, "Cap'n," Co. "K" should hate to lose you as hei captain, but when there is to be a promotion we want to see yoi our major. We think that we express the sentiments of all when we sa> | that we all enjoyed our trip te Jamestown more than any we i have ever before taken. Everybody was in good spirits fron the time we left until we gol back home. Some amusing things tho' did happen. IJ ! everybody in the States of Nortl ; Carolina anel Virginia does noi kiiow now 10 square a circle anc play "Hikey-Spikey" it certainlj : is not the fault of Corp. AIve Parks. The frogs of Virginia certainly did worry Sergt "Mat" White to distraction one night. ; Finally he and Corp. Windk made a systematic light on th< whole hunch. Scrg't White : especially was worried because of the appearance of the white one. Corp. Windle says thai when Serg't got hold of a white one he certainly would squeeze it. Very few of the boys were taken in hut our honoreel Mayor they say, went fishing and paie one elollar for every bait. His Honor had little to say on this subject. Serg't Ladson Massej was dreadfully grieved because so much chocolate was wastee in writing the word "Ohio' above the entrance to the Ohie exhibit, when told that Ohie> wa the Buckeye State and Buck eyes sometimes looked likechoco ; late candy. He had no more t< sav. Some of von cef gnru-'f Pi Bailes and Mayor Hall togethe and ask the Mayor how tin Serg't blistered his foot. In conclusion it must be ; cause of gratification to the peo pie of Fort Mili to know that no a man of Co K was drunk eithe going or coming on the train The men were a well behavet set of gentlemen and were i credit to our town.
