THE F. M. L. I. AT THE EXPOSITION.
A Member of Company "K" Writes
Interestingly of the Trip and Encampment
at Jamestown.
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
