SACRIFICES MADE
BY GENERAL LEE
How Confederate Leader Went Hun
gry in Battle in Order to Give
Hia Food to Soldiers.
( (New York Times)
It was spring in Virginia. The
flowers and birds had come, and
across the wide streets of old Fred
ericksburg the great arms of the lin
dens and naples were reaching, as
if to greet one another and show their
new, delicate green garments.
Nature was at her best, but man
was at his very worst, for it was May'
of 1864, the last May in our history
when brother was to be arrayed
against brother and father against
son in the great war between the
states.
For three years the legions of Mc
Clellan. Hooker, Lee and Jackson had
marched and fought in the Valley,
Piedmont and Tidewater sections of
the Cld Dominion, and now the Army
pf the Potomac lay on the southern
bank of the Rappahannock, facing the
Army of Northern Virginia. Lee and
Hooker were about to begin their
duel.
It is a far cry from the spring of
1864 to the late summer of 1925; from
the Valley of the Rappahannock to
the Valley of the Shenandoah; but the
distance can be bridged, and at the
country club near Winchester an ex-
Confederate soldier is telling Major
Gen. Sir Frederick Maurice of the
British army, a biographer of Lee, a
story, of the Southern leader: ■,
“It was on the afternoon of the
second day’s fighting, in May, 1864,

PROPOSE CONCRETE
BRIDGE AT CAPITAL
Highway Officials To Ask Legislature
For It. Will Coat Three Hub-
■ dred Thousand. ~
Columbia, Nor. 80.—The legislature
will be asked to make an appropria
tion, probobaly of $300,000, to build
r. concrete bridge across Brood river
at the northern edge of Columbia to
replace the wooden bridge burned sev
eral days fgo. Chief Highway Com
missioner McGowan stated today.
Commissioner McGowan's statement
was made following a conference be
tween state highway and county high
way authorities. No definite plan
was decided on, but it was said that
I* temporary structure might be built
on the site of the burned budge to
serve traffic until a permanent struct
ure is erected.
Meantime traffic from njith cf
Chapin on Highway No. 2 is being
detoured by Chapin and Lexington to
Columbia. Representatives of the
State Highway department; have been
placed at the Gervais street bridge
over the Congaree between Columbia
nnd New Brookland to regulate travel
ever that bridge. They have been in
structed, Commissioner McGowan said,
“to see, first, that not too many mach
ines are ou the bridge on account of
the increase traffic caused from the
detour, and, second, to warn them
about going very slowly as that bridge
has long ago been condemned and i.v
known to be literally very shaky.’'
Mr. McGowan^ statement follows:
• “Mr. H. fl. Kestcr, maintenance
engineer, has put up signs at Chaoin
that a cousin of mine and I were out. ond Lexington and barricades upon
foraging for something to eat. We' each side of the bridge to detour the
entered a little farmhouse a few miles tiaffic. These are rough signs but
from Fredericksburg.
“An old lady met us at the door,
and with all the kindness that could
ever have been shown to dirty and
ragged soldiers, asked us to enter, as
she was ’just about to feed some
other of the soldiers.’
“We asked her to allow us to wash
up first, and that then we would come
into her kitchen. Having removed
the, outer dirt and making shift to
straighten up what was left of our
uniforms we entered, and to our sur-
he is preparing better signs to be put
up at New Brooklond, Chapin, etc. He
had men there last night instead of
signs to keepA*affic out of the yiver-
“Traffic coming from Charleston
thru Columbia, Spartanburg, Green
ville, etc., will detour at New Brook-
land, using Routes 12 and 6, whiffh
will make the distance about 42 miles
longer. The traffic from above Cha
pin will come by Lexington, using
Routes 12 and 6. Local traffic be
low Chapin can cut over from Irmo

RESIGNS
OM SERVICE
Widely Known Prohibition Agept Had
Disagreement With Caudle About
Doing Dry Work in Georgia.
Pickens, Nov. 25.—Jake Gosnell, far
famed dry agent, announced here to
day that he had resigned from the
federal prohibition service, because,
as he termed it, he was ordered to
work in Georgia with “men of lit type
Butt I consider a disgrace to the pro
fession of a prohibition officer.” Mr.
Gosnell recently bought a large faxra
near Pickens and said today that hfe
was going to retire to the quiet life
of a private citizen.
Shortly after the reorganization of
the fedreal prohibition department re
cently, Mr. Gosnell was ordered by
the Greenville administration office to
do prohibition work in Georgia with
several agents and detectives who are
well known in upper South Carolina.
Gosnell 'states thqt he told P. M. Cau
dle, in charge of the Greenville office,
that he would Quit tjie service before
he would “work with men, of such
character” as those with whom he
would be associated in Georgia.
Mr. Caudle-is then said to have de
manded Gosnell’s resignation which
was refused. Gosnell was later given
a commission to wflrk with Capt. R.
Q. Merick in the Chicago district, but
says that he finally decided to quit
the service and retire to private life.
Jake Gosnell has been an enforce
ment officer of the national prohibi
tion law for several years, and has
served in New York and on the Cana-
dian border. At one time he was as
sociated wit^i Izzy Einstein, the noted
dry sleuth.

“Here was a pretty kettle of fish—
the Commanding General of the Con
federate Army and one of his cavalry
chiefs paired with two dirty privates.
“Now, the discipline of the South
ern Army was very different from
that of any other army the sun ever
shone upon, So stammering ‘Good
morning, gentlemen,’ we backed to
the door. , But we did not get out.
We were stopped by General Lee, who
said, ‘Men, you need this food more
than we do; sit down and help your
selves. Come, General, we will be
moving on.’
“That, General Maurice, was the

the one we hope soon to start across

“There will be at all times, day and
night, a representative of the State
Highway department posted at each
end of the Congaree river ‘bridge to
see, first, that not too many machines
are on that bridge on account of the
increase in the traffic from the de
tour, and, second, io warn them about
going very slowly as that bridge has
longe ago been condemned and is
his home here a number of years and
has a number of friends who will
learn with regret of his passing.
Cop: ‘ Don’t ya see that sign no
says it ought to cost about $300,-^swimming! I’ll arrest you when ye

Man: “But I’m not cornin’ out.”

Too many people suffer lame, aching

is due to faulty kidney action and
there’s danger of hardened arteries,

Don’t let weak kidneys wear you out.

Doan’s are a stimulant diuretic to the
