When 36,000 Yankees J
Came To Town J
,l
What happened when 36,000 troops
suddenly descended upon a rural area I
where the blgg?>?t town wuh a village, t
Curtilage (population 1.481), Is in- t
tlmately described by a cltUen, Ruth t
Tyson, in the Moore county (North 1
Carolina) News. f
"When the soldiers poured into Car- 1
ihage In such numbers a-' the town '
hud never seen the like of before, water
was what they wanted most?wa- c
tor to drink, an/l jwator to bathe in. 1
Thirty-six thousand soldiers wore sta- a
tinned In the various enrols around H
Carthage?at Hlllcrtst, the fair- 1
grounds, near Sheriff McDonald's, '
Will Warner's and at other points. >
"They came in Wednesday and left '
Thursday noon. With the thermometer
soaring into the nineties on
Wednesday, the hottest October day *
in many years, the soldiers had travel- 1
ed in the heat and dust from the (
Wadesboro camp with only one can- 1
teen of water. They wanted a drink
and they wanted a bath. The 22 '
showers at the swimming pool had 1
been placed at their disposal.
'"All day long and far into the night *
there was a long line of soldiers at (
the showers waiting to get in. During
the two days 17,000 gallons of water
were used at the showers. For tho
entire town for the two days 100,120 (
gallons more were used than the nv- (
erage use of water for tho town in
normal times. '
"Luckily for the town, the water 1
works system provides an ample supply,
and this was no drain at all upon 1
Its resources. The reservoir still
overflows 20 hours out of the 24.
"Many people took five and six soldiers
to their homes for a bath.
"One soldier went to the Jail and
asked to be allowed to take a bath.
" 'I got mine at the police station',
he told someone. i
" 'Well, you can't say now that you <
have never been In jail.' was the reply.
" 'It was my first time', he said.
"Some of the supply wagons, or field i
kitchens, or whatever you call them, i
had got lost from their units, and the :
boys were hungry. The hotel, cafes
and hoarding houses were cleaned out. !
Many of the townspeople, not only.
| took soldiers home for baths, but gave
! them supper, and had them stay all
'night, too?the John Wilcoxs, ^ the
Idraveses, the Underwoods and many
ot hers.
"Mr. Joe Willcox took a hungry,
uuty soldier home to supper una a
ath. Ah they sat down to the table
u aakod the hoy his name. 'Joe Will*
ox', he said. Wasn't that a coluoL
lence?
"Some Holdlera naked Mrs. it. (1.
frye. Jr., If she knew of Home pli.ee
hey could get to Htny all night. Phu
ook them out to her mother's. Decor
and Mra. Underwood had retired,
>ut they got up, made hot aundwld ea
or them and put them up for.,.JUv
light. And they were delighted to do
t, too.
"Mrs. Lang aorved friod chicken,
ountry ham and hot blaculta to more
Ugh officers than you could ahako a
Kick at. She also took care of thirty
toldlers. They took hatha, played the
tiano, and made themselves at home,
iefore the evening was over, they
vere calling her 'Mother', and patting
ler on the back.
"What I appreciate moat is your
u*luf-awt-good to my boys. They don't
lave to have any bars on their ahould)ra
for you to bo nice to them, the
olonel said, as he hunted her up to
hank her.
"All of the businessmen and townspeople
praise the soldiers for being
.veil behaved, and so appreciative of
my courtesy shown them. Moat of
he boys were Either from Now York j
?ity, New York state or. New Jersey.'
"They would buy just anything. One
>oy bought a tin tub. Another, a mop.
lie went up and down the sidewalk I
leaning off the streets with it, and
utting monkeyshines.
"Wednesday night the town was a
light to behold. It literally swarmed
with soldiers. People had been told
low it would be, but nobody could
*ealize it. 'Swing Is believing,' was
:he general opinion.. We believe now."
Night Hunters Are
Apprehended
Friday night one hunter was arrested
ind a warrant sworn out for another,
charged with night hunting. The men
were apprehended by county game
wardens last night and three young
deer taken from them. As Is the custom
these deer were sold at the court'
house this morning. In another offense
of the same ftature, four men
have also posted bond.
Game Warden Steve Crosby said I
that night hunting has been prevalent
in the county and that the game wardons
are going to do everything they
can to stop this practice. A few days
ago, night hunters seriously wounded
a mule.
Railroad Crossing*
Cause Many Antics
(Continued from first page)
hoys who received tho surprise of
thier life when their truck hii the
west crossing and catapulted theui up
against the canvas r5of. And upspoedaisy
again on the second crossIiik
and then back again on the third. H.
That there has uot been a serious
accident at this trio of crossings is
n miracle. Hut one will happen some
day unless the Southern Railway H
takes sieps to relocate tho tracks so
as to eliminate the present hazardous
conditions.
War Guns Disturb
Slumber on Sunday
(.Continued from first page)
drive# fsatd. "a tough experience."
Tanks and other mechanized equip- I
ment of the army moved without
lights and created a hazard for the |
motorist?who, as a matter of fact, j
had no business in the area.
Some of the curious from Camden j
were in the area wherein Lieutenant i
General Hugh Drum was captured by !
the 2nd reconnaissance battalion of , I
the second armored division. The
throe-star general was out of the war |
as a prisoner for about an hour. It
was the first capture of such a high
ranking officer In the war games. Tho [
general w^a nabbed when he was '
caught inspecting his troops as thev
were seeking to cross the Pee Dee I
river in the face of a swift air and
ground attack.- >
The skirmish in the early hours |
Sunday was interesting for the reason
that it was the first time since the I
Invasion of Sherman of the sabred H
precincts of this city that combat fire j
was heard here. , !
