PICKETTS CHARGE

SHT ANI SHELL
COULD NOT BE CHECKED
The Grim Dram* of War Never Lift
ed Ita Red Curtain Over a More
Spectacular Scene Than When the
Confederate* Made Their Heroic
Charge at Gettysburg.
The third day’s battle at Gettys
burg was the fiercest and most des
perate conflict of modern times. It
Inspired prodiglee of valor and reap
ed a harvest of awful death. Those
fifteen immortal minutes at the stone
wall on Cemetery Ridge marked the
high tide of the Confederacy. An
eye-witness, an officer who served
with the Northern army, tells of the
nightmare of that long, awful silence
that preceded the beginning of the
artillery duel as the two armies faced
each other before the final death
grapple. Then came the signal and
Lee’f 120 guns on Seminary Ridge
opened with a roar that shook the
hills from base to crest. And the
reverberating thunder of the guns
was heard 140 miles away. *
"No sound of roaring waters, nor
wind, nor thunder, nor of these com
bined, ever equaled the tremendous
uproar, and no command, no order
no sound of voice, could be heard at
all above the ceaseless din of thou
sands of shrieking shot and shell
falling thick and fast on every side
and bursting with terrific explosion,
while others by thousands came
bounding, skipping, racing and ehas
tog each other over the hill and
down ths slope, hissing, scoffing
spitting and moaning like relsntleot
demons as they dashed through the
detachments and went onward to
crash among the reserves far back In
ths rear The air was filled with
clouds of dust, and volumes of sul
phnrous, suffocating smoke rolled up
whits and bluish gray Ilk* frightful
storm clouds, and hung like s pall
ovsr ths fisld. through the rifts and
rests ef which the sun with dim light
looked down upon the ghastly scene
All the world knows what fo(lot
ed. It is written In letter* of flam*
on the annals of war—ths chargs of
Pickstt'a division, the flower of the
Confederate army, against the Colon
left center held by the tried veterans
of Hancock's eorpe The grim drama
of war never lifted Its red curtain
ovsr s more speetarular scene than
whea Pickett's devoted regiments
crossed the plain to atom amid a
hell of ahot and ahelt the heights of
Csmttory Ridge A third of the dis
tance had not been covered before
the Federal guns to right and left of
them opened with terrible fury, leer
ing fearful lanes through their ranka
Rut on they rare* yelling like de-
mons. Across the Kmlttaburg pike,
driving In tb* Union skirmishers, at
fall speed, on they dashed.
Then from 20,000 Union muskets
cams a blinding, tlg-xag burst of liv
ing flame that mowed down the
charging Confederates like a death
scythe. But on they came, their tat
tered battle flags nearer and nearer
to the coveted atone wall, while from
the Federal artillery, double shotted
with grape and canister, burst volley
after volley In spurting flames no feet
long, biasing Into the very faces of
the assailants. rutting horrible
■ watha through the ranks of the Con
federate*. while from both flanks
death and destruction was hurled In
to the desperate charging column
Rut on the crest of this fierce tide of
Invasion still came the gallant Armls-
ted with some hundred of his men
Up to the wall and over It with the
cold steel of the bayonet they dashed
in the exultant madness of the flush
of victory and for a brief moment
Armistead’s battle flag waved over
the guns of a captured Union bat
tery. For a moment only. Hall’s
splendid charge through Wedd’s
shattered lines ended in a hand-to-
hand struggle with clubbed muskets.
Armistead fell slain on the gun he
bad captured, and when Pickett
reached the crest he saw at what aw
ful cost he had pierced the Union
line. From every side troope were
rushing* up to aid the beleaguered
Second corps. He aaw his men sur
rendering in masses and with his
heart breaking in anguish he ordered
a retreat of the few that remained of
that magnificent column that so
shortly before had left the lines of
Seminary Ridge. The Charge had
failed and from that fateful moment
the Confederacy became the Lost
Cause.
Had It not been for the activity
and splendid courage of the Union
cavalry upon both flanks, the stoty of
Piskett’s charge might have had a
different ending. Lee had planned,
simultaneously with the assault oh
the left center, attacks by Longstreetv
on the Union left aad by Stuart on
the right where the Confederate ea-
bres had been posted In position to
_break through the Union right and
"'■trike the Federala In the rear. But
Kilpatrick kept Longstreet buy and
prevented aid from reaching Pickett

He Had to Die, But Came Away
Well.
The United States public health
service was instructed by unanimous
consent of the Senate Tuesday to in
vestigate the Dr. Von Ruck vaccine
following a resolution by Senator
Overman. Opposition of Senktor Gal-
llnger to the resolution caused Sena
tor Overman to say in support of the
resolution that a Senator on the floor
had been cured by the remedy. The
immediate curiosity of the senators
caused him to say that Senator Kern,
Democratic floor leader, was the man
he referred to. The fact that Sena
tor Kern made no denial of the story
caused the resolution to go through.
Senator Kern told The News and
Observer correspondent a few min
utes later that he had gone to Ashe
ville in the fall of 1906 fully con
vinced that he had to die, after sev
eral diagnoses had shown tuberculo
sis. He even had a cough. He left
there four and a half months later a
well man, after gaining thirty
pounds. He was to come back in
June for more treatment but became
busy In politics. In 1 908, as candi
date for vice-president, he returned
after having spoken every day for
seven weeks in the campaign. Dr.
Von Ruck told him he need never
come back.
Such distinguished testimony to
the merit of a remedy on the floor of
the House Is perhaps unprecedented
Senator Kern said he was sorry to
have been mentioned In such a way
hut that he certainly had the greatest
faith In the remedy of Dr Von Ruck
Senator Gatllnger'a opposition was
based, he said, on the principle that
there were Innumerable serums on
the market, and all could not t** In

was produced

that the Investigation showed enrour

It was here that sixteen men of the

he fought his w r ay through, as the
chances were that he would, and fell
upon the Federal rear at the moment
when Pickett reached the crest of
Cemetery Ridge, Meade’s army w’ould
have been close to crushing defeat.
The cavalry saved the day for Meade
at Gettysburg and turned to naught

of the Confederacy.

"Bocial Lobbying" Most "Insidious
and Powerful Kind, Hays Iowa Sen
ator, Who Cqpodemns General Prac
tice of Flattering Senators With
Dinners and Theatre Parties.
"Social lobbying” In Washington
Justifies every word President Wilson
uttered in regard to the presence of
an “Insidious” lobby at the Capitol,
Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, declared on
Senate Investigating committee. It
was the first unequivocal statement
in support of the President's attitude
since the Inquiry began.
The Iowa Senator explained that
he believed the most “Insidious” and
powerful lobbying possible was the
practice of flattering Senators by hav
ing them out to dinners, to theatres
and on automobile rides. Ingratiating
the host with the distinguished
guests. Pointing to the sworn testi
mony of Edward Hines, “a lumber
king”, before the Lorimer election In
vestigation, that he entertained Sena
tors at a local hotel at dinners at a
time when the lumber schedule in the
Payne-Aldrich bill was before the
Senate, Senator Kenyon declared it
was his belief that Senators were be
Ing entertained In this ■'insidious''
way at present
He also denounced Ex-Senators for
capitalizing their privilege of the
floor by usinir It to lobby Referring
to one Ex-Senator, representing many
railroads In Washington and often

Senator Ransdell. who received
one of the letters, said the American
Cane Growers' Association had been
In existence for ten years or more;
that It maintained an office In New
Orleans and conducted an open cam
paign In behalf of the sugar produc
ers of Louisiana. He added that for
several weeks the organization had
kept an office in a Washington sky
scraper with its name over the door.
Senator Llppltt testified thaW he
owned about one-quarter of a cotton
cloth plant, capitalized at $6,000,000,
and located at Providence, R. I. He
had tstlke dwith other Senators about
the cotton tariff. He furnished a list
of twenty-five tariff visitors.
Senator Llppitt declared that he
had not tried to Influence any one im
properly, nor had any one tried to In
fluence him. Common stock of the
Manville Cotton Company, of which
he was manager, has gone down prob
ably 50 per cent, because of the
threatened tariff reduction, he said.
“Is it true you prepared the cotton
schedule as it appeared in the Payne-
Aldrlch tariff bill?” aaked Senator
Reed.
“I am perfectly willing to say I ap
peared before the ways and means

ers did not ask for increased duties,

Was Caught and Is Now in the Aiken
Jail Charged With a Moat Heinous
Crime.
Elliott Jackson, a negro of about
thirty-five years of age, captured by
the Aiken police after a search last
ing several ho^ura late Saturday night,
is In Jail charged with a heinous
crime.
r About dark Saturday evening the
thirteen-year-old daughter of a farm
er who lives Just outside of the city
limits of Aiken was sent by her moth
er to a store near their homd and on
the edge of what is known as "Bap
tist Bottom”, a negro settlement, in
the lower part of the city, for a pack
age of coffee.
The little girl went to the store,
made her purchase and had started
back home when she was overtaken
by the Jackson negro, who had evi
dently been loafing about the store
and saw her leave there alone. Al
though It was rapidly growing dark,
the little girl suspected nothing when
the negro spoke to her and walked
by her side until the negro suddenly
caught hold of her and placing his
hand over her mouth to stifle her
screams, bore her to the ground.
The child struggled in the grasp of
the fiend, who, at the sound of some
one approaching from the opposite
direction from that In which they had
come from the store, r* leased his in
tended victim. Crying for help, the
child ran in terror hark to where the
light of the store glimmered. Ter

THE SENATE’S INOUIKY
Chief Weight Will be Felt in Conner*
tion With Sugar and Wool—Free
Listing of Articles Which Enter
Into Dally Life Calculated to Re
duce High Cost of Living.
The Washington correspondent of
The News and Courier says neither
President Wilson nor the Democratic
managers of the two branches of Con
gress could estimate Sunday night
what effect the Senate’s remarkable
"lobbying Investigation” is to have
upon the progress of the tariff bill
the currency reform plan, or other
business of Congress.
In the six days of grilling, to which
it has subjected Senators themselves,
the investigating committee lias se
cured information and opened up
channels of investigation that- are
likely to have an important influence
upon the whole course of legislation
in the future. President Wilson's
charges that an unusually large
•‘lobby" was engaged in trying to in
fluence changes in the tariff, formet
the basis for the inquiry now under
way; hut it has run far outside th
scope of the tariff, and has brought
the Senate committee up to the edg*
of what is expected to he one of tlo
most searching inquiries evr con
ducted into the question of 'legisla
tive influences"
Progress on the tariff hill has no'
been hindered during the week to
the lobby investigation, hut It is b»
li*«ved Sunday night that before th-
reconstructed Underwood MU final!'

probably will be bold next week, thto
week being taken up by the final
meetings of the finance sub-eommit-
an<T the Tnrettng of t-Ke fuR <*©»-
mittee to pasa on the revised sched
ules.
As they will go to the Democratic
caucus, the tariff rates wlil be the
lowest in history and the free list will
be the longest ever known, longer
than the list as it passed the House.
As revised by the Senate sub-commit
tees and likely to have the approval
of the finance committee majority,
the free list will contain, among oth
er articles, the following:
Meats, flour, livestock, wheat,
probably with a countervailing duty,
oats and oatmeal, barley, rye, lum
ber, coal, boots and shoes, breads and
biscits, raw # wool, sugar to be free in
three years, .buckwheat and buck
wheat flour, cocoa, coffee, tea, corn-
meal, fish, bananas, lute, hides, India
robber, indigo cotton seed oil, castor
oil, and liver oil, potatoes, sago, veg-
etble ivory, sewing machines, type-
writers, print paper, steel rails, pig
iron, ferro manganese, used in man
ufacturing of steel, photograph films
and many chemicals used in manu
facturing.
Free listing of these articles, which
enter into the daily life of the aver
age American, it is cal "! t'ed by the
Democratic makers, will materially
decrease the cost of living. Many-
other important articles will he given
lower rates than the Underwood bill
gave them.
