Mix- soji, a lad of fourteen years, living in the cojint\' near the town of Barn- well, was^plqwing when a wagon load of men passed by «n their way to Orangeburg, where the famous Ha- good First S. C. Volunteers were oa - - ganized. This lad of fourteen drove his horse into a fence, and, a- he said, jammed and loaded Yumself on the wagon and proceeded to Orangeburg. When Johnson Hagood looked the hunch of volunteers over and spied the boy, }ie said, “Frank, go back home. Too small now; you will do later.” Bark home Frank went but two months later he' 'quietly went to Charleston and joined Company I, in which his brother, J. S. Mixson, was First Lieutenant.
