Old Prison Recalls
.Civil War Events
1 ~ ______
Down in Sumter county, Cla., between
Americus and Montezuma,
ihere is a little tract covering the
urea of a small farm, surrounded by
a brick wall and dotted with monuments,
writes Dudley Class in the
Atlanta Georgian.
If you are old enough to have been
a boy within 20 years after the War
Between the States, you probably
heard the old folks talk of it, as we
did. That is equally true if your
folks were from a Northern State or
from the South. It was the topic of
a gre&t deal of discussion in those
days, and it helped to keep alive the
bitterness between North and South
long after the war.
It is the old Andersonville military
prison, at the edge of the town of
Andersonville. The relocation of
route 49 places it on the main highway
for the first time, it is .officially
called the Andersonville Nn!
tional cemetery, bec'nuse here sleep
some of the thousands of Union sol-]
diers who died not fromrbullets but
from privation. But it will always
best be remembered as a prison.
It was a prison without walls of
stone. An open field, surrounded by
guards. Food was scarce in the
Confederacy in those days. Even
water was scarce in the prison, until
a spring was discovered?a spring
reputed to have burst forth miraculously
from the earth after a stroko
of lightning.
The death list of prisoners at Andersonville
was frightful. But so
was that at Johnson's island, a Union
prison for Confederate captives. So
was the death list at Camp Alger
during the Spanish-American war,
where young American soldiers died
like flies from "embalmed beef."
After the war Capt. Wirz, commandant
of the prison, was executed
by Union order. Not many years
afterward the Southern ^olk erected
a monument to his memory in the
center of the town of Andersonville.
Its inscription bears testimony to the
sectional hatred of that day. So-do
the inscriptions on some of the monuments
within the park erected in
memory of the United dead.
It is perhaps well that through all
these years And.ersonville has been
forgotten, unvisited, save by the official
care provided by the government.
But it is almost ancient history
now?that it is a spot too interesting
to be passed hurriedly by motorists
who find themselves near it.
In "My Personal Column" in the
Albany Herald, H. T. Mcintosh recently
wrote of the new highway and
the old prison. He said in part:
"Some of the inscriptions on these
memorials are not pleasant to read
for they were carved in a period
when bitterness between the North
and South over the war was still
acute. It was that same bitter spii it
which caused no little resentment in
the North when the Wirz monument
was erected?not in the national
cemetery, of course, but in the middle
of a street of Andersonville.
"Wirz was the Confederate commandant
of the Andersonville prison
camp. The record is clear that he
did the best he could in a difficult,
even desperate, situation. He could
not obtain medicines for sick Union
prisoners, for medicines had been
made contraband of war, and the
South could neither manufacture nor
import them. The principal ration
of the prisoners was what their
guards also ate?bread made from
corn meal and salt pork, with a limited
ration of fresh vegetables when
they could be obtained. It is now
the solemn verdict of medical science
that it was pellagra that caused most
of the deaths in the Andersonville
^prison?pellagra caused by the steady
corn meal diet. There were more
Union prisoners in Confederate detention
camps than there were Confederate
prisoners in Union camps,
yet more Confederate than Union
prisoners died, according to the official
records."
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president
of Columbia University, New
York, opines that "thoughtful men
evebrwhere are alarmed at the stupendous
borrowings which are going
forward" over the world. He says
that these borrowings must some day
be met, either by payment or repudiation.
Neal Myers, pharmacy student ot
the University of Oklahoma, at Nor^
man, is charged with the death of
Miss Marian Mills, co-ed beauty
queen of the university, 20, who died
last week at the home of Mrs. Hazel
Brown, fraternity house cook, who
told authorities that the girl had
been taking drugs in an effort to
avoid motherhood. Myers has not yet
been arrested.
Pennsylvania is asking for the extradition
to that state from Roanoke,
Va., of Robert C. Kent, Jr., who is
being held in the Virginia city on
suspicion of having murdered Mrs.
Mary Jane Hastings, whose dead
body was found near Stroudsberg,
Pa several weeks ago, not long after
Kent had left Roanoke with the woman
in hi* car. He returned to Roanoke
without her and a few days later
her dead body was fouad.

Lightning Bolt Does
Many Queer Things
A freak bolt of lightning Wednesday
afternoon struck a ehinaberry
tree at Jenkinsville, snapped the head
from a moccasin hidden in a hole in
the tree, jumped some eight feet to
a parked automobile and made two
small indentations in its top, plowed
up the ground for some ten feet and
threw dirt to the top of a house
about 80 feet distant. The flash was
followed by a deafening crash of
' thunder.
E. L. Wright, Jenkinsville, an agent
for the Equitable Life Insurance company,
working out pf Columbia, was
telling about the bolt yesterday. He
said he had gone to Jenkinsville, in
Fairfield county, to take dinner
with his daughter, Martha, on her
12th birthday and with other members
of the family. He parked his
coach near the ehinaberry tree and
[about 4:30 o'clock the bolt struck.
About five minutes before Martha had
gone to the car to put up the windows.
The car was about 30 feet
from the house.
The lightning first struck the tree
and jumped to the car, striking it on
top above the driver's seat and coming
out under the right front wheel.
It tore a furrow about ten feet long
"as though a plow had made it," Mr.
Wright said.
Mr. Wright rushed out to the car
which was covered with sand and
loaves and-bark from the tree. By
the steps of the house the head of
a snake was found, and a boy climbed
in the tree and in a hole found the
body of the moccasin. Mr. Wright
got in his car and drove it off, it
apparently being undamaged except
for the small scorched area where
the bolt struck. No rain fell from
the cloud, which was apparently some
distance away when the bolt descended.
It is. rare indeed when an automobile
is struck by lightning, they being
insulated by the rubber tires. An
insurance man, asked about the percentage
of insured cars struck by
lightning, said, "Never heard of a
car being struck by lightning."
Mr. Wright had his car in Columbia
yesterday and showed to his acquaintances
the marks made on the
vehicle by the bolt. The ignition was
not damaged in any way, apparently,
nor were the lights affected.?Friday's
State.
A bolt of lightning striking an
electric wire at Camp Jackson killed
Jesse L. Diekerson, of the 117th Field
artilery, Alabama national guard,
Wednesday afternoon. He was 20
years old and his home was in Evergreen,
Ala. Nobody else was injured
by the bolt of lightning.
'*
Two young girls, love sick, attempted
to take their lives in Atlanta,
Ga. One was successful with a
bullet in her breast; the other seriously
shot might possibly recover.
They were disappointed in their love
. ilTairs.
College Wins Cup
For Fifth Time
Clinton, S. 0., July 21st.?For the
fifth time the Presbyterian college
K. O. T. C. unit has won the General
Proficiency Cup offered for the past
twelve encampments at Fora McClellan,
Ala. This cup is given to that
unit having the highest total rating
in military and camp activities. No
other school in the Fourth Corps
Area, comprising the states of Louisiana,
Alabama, Mississippi, Ceorgia,
Tennessee', Florida, North and South
Carolina, has won the cup more than
three times.
The P. C. unit, consisting of the
men of the rising Senior Class in tjie
Reserve Officors Training Corps,
were trained by Capt. R. E. Wysor,
Professor of Military Science and
Tactics, and Capt. W. B. Blanton,
who accompanied the corps to camp
for the past six weeks.
In addition to the Proficiency Cup
the Blue Stocking boys had the highest
ranking in rifle marksmanship.
James Dooling is the new head of
the Tammany Society of New York
city, succeeding John F. Curry, who
was kicked out. It is now said that
Tammany is dominated by the national
administration, the first time
such a thing - has hapened since the
War Between the States.
Farm wages in North and iSouth
Carolina are the lowest of any state
in the nation, the department of agriculture
announces.
Brewer Gold Mine
To Open Again
The Brewer gold mine, near Jefferson,
will soon l>o worked on a
large seale. A mining corporation
from North Carolina has secured the
mining rights and a plant is now being
installed there and* will soon bo
in operation.
A newly discovered process will bo
used. The plant is managed by an
expert gold miner from the Klondike.
Brewer mine, one of the . largest
in the state, has been worker! intermittently
for more than a hundred
years and the gold ore in sight has*
hardly been scratched. The Government
has record of more than a million
and a half dollars worth of gold
that has been produced by the mine.
A hoot 1KP0 the mine was owned
by Senator Hearst, of California, and
was shut down in 18'dti under injunction
on account of the process used,
as the cyanide that wont .from the
stump mill into the creek destroyed
vegetal ion.
It is expected that a large number
of men will be put to work as soon as
the installation of the machinery is
completed.?Choraw Chronicle.
