The Charlestonlan was wit ness of the actual commencement of the battle, one of the hardest fought and practically a hand to hand fight of this section during the war. * - The federal forces, in open form ation has approached the Confeder ate lines to within probably 50 feet, the Charlestonlan said, when a sol dier at his side called to a man1 slightly in advance who those ap proaching was. The answer came back, "A friend." "A friend from where," asked the Confederate sol dier, and upon the name of Rhode Island being called, the Confederate soldier answered, "we got no friends In Rhode Island," and discharging his gun, the Union soldier was kill ed and then the shooting and fight ing toOk place in earnest. The vet eran who has been $sked to remit the money to the Rhode Island wi dow Is not the soldier who pulled the trigger and started the battle. He was merely a witness to ah his torical event. Of course ~he partici pated In the fight and contributed all that he could to prevent the fed eral forces from effectnig a Suc cessful landing on James Island, to wards Morris Island. A False Alarm.

And Johnny left, crying as he went: "I wag only going to say that he had his army clothes on." ? Ladles' Home Journal. PAY YOUR CITY LICENSE NOW.
