BURNING OF COLUMBIA
IS RELATED IX LETTEI
Interesting Article by J. T. Boifeuillet
In the Macon TelegTapr?Character
of War Waged.

Just now whan the anniversary o!
the burning of Columbia, February.
17, 1865, is fresh on the minds of the
people the following, written by J. T
Boifeuillet in the Macon Telegraph
will be of interest:
"Yesterday I was conversing with
a prominent lady of Macon, who, with
her 9ister, also a well known resident
of this city, were eye-witnesses oi
the burning of Columbia and sufferers,
too, from this terrible act. She
furnished me with cvidenoe of the
process by whh-h the union waj restored,
in the shape of a copy of a
letter whjch was found In the street
of Columbia immediately after thf
army of Sherman had left the ruined
and plundered city. "Hie lady informs
me that the original la still preserved
and can be shown and substantiated .t
anybody desires. The name signed tc
the letter was that of a lieutenant ii
Sherman's army and was addresser
to his wife at Boston, Mass. I am
indebted to the Macon lady for the
following copy of the letter, which
was handed to me with the request
that it be published on the 42nd anniversary
of the destruction of the fair
and beautiful Columbia. 1 can add
nothing in the way of continent on
such a document. It 9peaks for itself:
" 'Camp Near (famden, S. C.
" 'February 26, 1865.
" 'My Dear Wife: I have no time
for particulars. We have had a glorious
time in this State. Unrestricted
license to burn and plunder was the
order of the day. The chivalry ha*
been stripped of most of their valuables.
Gold watches, silver pitcher
cups, spoons, forks, etc., etc., are as
common in camp as blackberries. Thr
tferms of plunder are as follows: The
valuables procured are estimated b
companies. Each company is required
to exhibit the result of its operationf
at any given pace?one-fifth and finr
choice falls to the share of the con
mander-in-chief and staff, one-fifth
to the field officers of the regiments
and two-fifths to the company.

from a Mr. DeSaussure. who is one of
the F. F. V'b of South Carolina, and
was made to fork over liberally. Officers
over the rank of captain are no
made to put their plunder fn the estimate
for general distribution. This
is very unfair, and for tn.it rea-on.
in order to protect themselves, subordinate
officers and privates koep

Sherman has silver and gold enough
to stAri a bank. His share in gold
watches and chains alone at Columbia,
was two hundred and seventy-five.
" 'But I said I would not go intc
particulars. All the general officers
and many besides, had valuables of
every description down to erabroidored
ladies' handkerchiefs. I have m
share of them, too. We took gold
and silver enough from the d?d rebels
to have redeemed their infernal
currency twice over. This, the currency,
whenever we came across it we
burned, as we considered it utterly
worthless.

has could be carried to the 'Old BayState.

Editor Cheraw Chronicle:
j Your last week's issue contained i
article over the signature of J.
Hartzell whldh does me a great inju
tice. In writing about the Sund;
morning fire which destroyed Ms
, Gilespie's barn, the Reverend gentl
man criticised praotically everythii
from the town council's backbone
1 the water works system.
As I am responsible for the efflciei
cy of the latter I feel that a reply '
his article is proper in Justice to til
i city's water department, to the gener
public and to myself.
Let me say in the beginning that
am not, nor is the water departme!
opposed to criticism when it is true ar
Just, this is helpful and will be appr
elated.
He writes: "There was no prcssui
on the water when the alarm wi
rrl l'ftn nrtrt Ko Hmh xvpc ni
on the big barn and concents wei
completely destroyed. Why Is not 01
water system kept at a hundred p<
cent efficiency so that a fire can be pi
out at any tlmje."
The flrBt sentence of the above
absolutely incorrect Let mo cxplai
that in a water system such aB out
with an elevated tank, every schcx
boy knows or should know, that an
water coming from the tank will t
under pressure. The appearant
of water when hydrant Is ope
ed is complete and Indisputable ev
denoe of pressure. Thi^ is the law <
gravity, a condition of nature, an
faileth not If there were only ten ga
Ions 'of water in the tank this muc
would be delivered at the hydrant ui
der pressure quite adequate for fix
fighting purposes.
The fact is that when this alarm wj
given the tank was two thirds full (
water and the pump was in operatioj
In further dispersion of his prittl
prattle, fire chief Thomas tells me th:
on this occasion the pressure wa
splendid and Chat the fire departmei
succeeded in saving a great deal
thd Major's cotton altho' the barn wa
j destroyed when they arrived.
As to the efficiency of the water sys
I tern and of the service it renders I wi
I say that the system has been in oper
tion almost nine years and during a
this time it has successfully met ever
demand that has been made upon i
and the city has never been withoi
an adequate supply of waiter and nc
ju-t water but good water, the samp]
sent for examination being frequentl
commented upon favorably. If this i
not satisfactory service I should 1
to know what is expected of a fate
work system.
Oh, well, there are some people wfo
will enter the "Pearly Gates" wit
their mouths full of criticism and sue
gestionn for great changes if, pt
chance, they are allowed to enter wit
their beloved earthly necul-triUe!
Witlh theee facts before toe peopl
of Cheraw, whom I am doing criy be?
to serve faithfully and well, I am sc
they will be able to determine l'u
themselves whether or not the w:ia

received.

Fire Alarm Boxes or Telephone. * G
' Editor Cher&w Chronicle:
In your editorial last week you a'
vocated installing a fire alarm system bi
instead of an all day and night Sunday tl
! telephone service. I am more in fa\ al
' cr of the all day telephone service w
because the expense is less, and any w
one can give an alarm from his ov te
nouse instead of running a block m
in alarm box: and no false n'i m wil rz
be rung in by fools who wish to hear &<
the fire whistle and see some fun. Yoi s(
can catch up with a guilty party by sc
his number when a false alarm is h<
given. -to
But fires on Sunday are not the only pi
things that call for an all day Sun- th
day telephqne service. Circuxetan. to
ces may arise when one wants a doc- cc
tor in a hurry. About a year ago on oi
a Sunday Mrs. C. fell in a faint. There x.
was no telephone service, and Mr. C. v.
had to leave her an drun for a doctor, \r.
I old and stiff as he was. That took R
limo?time enought for one to die. m
though fortunately Mrs. C. did not die
Then, there is not a Sunday whet f<
, someonw does not wish to know about to
! the afternoon trains, and by knowin;
save himself or herself the misfortune 1 ye
of having to wait at the station, supperless,
from one to three hours.
Other reasons may be added, not the
least of them that thfs is no longer a
little cross-roads town, and shoul ?
I Si
! not be treated as such.
