Engine “Knock” Wag a Scared Mechanic Chatham. Maas.—Police Chief dverett visited a local automobile as a prospective customer. Take that car out for a spin and trj It,” suggested the salesman, point- lag to a machine which waa parked, ■rich motor running. Ir. the yard. mftredge hopped In and drive away. Shottly afterward he reappe red. “I wouldn’t buy a car that knocked Jdm way this one does,” he com- eRalned. At this point, I.eo Leblanc, grimy -fkced mechanic, crawled from beneath the automobile, it developed that he bm< bean working under the car and, i*Brtng the trial run, had saved him- •elf from Injury by holding himself Upended between the drip pan aod mm axle. The “knocking" resulted when he rapped with a hammer la a frantic atffort to warn the driver of bis plight WHY J. GREEN BARKER WENT TO THE YANKEES Editor, The People-Sentinel: Please allow me space In your valued paper for the following account of the incident that culminated' in J. Green Barker going over and joining the Yankee forces in the fall of 1864. Our picket line was about half a mile below our lines, and Major Mana ge was in command of the picket line at this time, and about this time we had a little skirmish on the Mne and Major Manago was wounded and cap tured. He had previously made an or der or permission for one man to go to the camps for breakfast and other things for the men each morning with out getting permission fr6m the lieutenant, as it was as far to the lieutenant’s headquarters as it ' was loathe camps. Our company vra* on James Island, near Charleston, at this time. The next morning Major Wallie was put in-command of the picket line, and when he visited the picket line early in the morning, he found the man on post 44 missing, he having gone to the camps for breakfast. This man waa named Kit Stallings. The major asked the lieutenant if he had given Stallings permission to go to the camps and he said no. The lieutenant remarked to some of the men after the major had left that he knew he had done wrong, that he should have told him yes. That night after dark Stallings was tied up by the thumbs for two hours. Major Wallie did this without ever countermanding Major Manage’* ordera. Our company came together and decided not to submit to any such punishment and cut Stallinga down. Green Barker was the man who cut him down. Love Pitts was put under guard of Stallings while he was strung up, and he had to indenti- fy some members of the party who cut Stallings down or bear the punishment himself. He reported Delias Ray, O’Neal Sanders and Allen Robinson (the 4th man, I can’t remember.) Sgt. Stephen Sanders and Sgt. George All carried the four men to Charleston for trial. Capt Hunter was hired by Sgta. Sanders and All to defend the four men, aod he was successful in clearing them. After Robinson told pft Green Barker as the man who cut Stallinga down, Lieut. C. C. ftuah, of Blackville, came to our camps and told Green Barker to “clean up and go to the Yankees,” that that ws g the only way out of it. Early the next morning Barker fixed up and made for the Yankees, and the writer went with him and saw him get to the Yankee picket post and shake hands with them. He would not take up arms against his counter, hut Hired to the Yankee* as a “horae doctor.” Major Wallie had said that he in tended <o hive Barker court maitialed and shet. When I got hack to the camp* a detail of men was there to arreat Barker, and I told the detail that they could find Barker on Bat tery Island (Yankee tenitory.) Gieen Barker has had to unjustly bear the name of a deserter for the past 65 years. If anyone should doubt what I have said in regard to the above incident, I refer them to Rev. R. W. Sanders, of Greenville, and George Anderson, of Dunbarton. This incident on the part of Major Wallie caused our company to lose two good soldiers. H. B. CAVE. Kline, S. C., Nov. 11, 1929. WHArs NEW.

The Jews hated the Romans b# cause they were under bondage ts them. Peter, the head of the apoe tollc group, was s Jew of stronf prejudice. The time had now conn for the removal of the wall of parti tion between the Jew* and the Geiv tile*. To do thla God chose a high- grade and Influential Gentile to mak< the transition. Cornelius was a de vout man. though not saved. In removing thla wall, two vision! were given; (1) To Cornelius (Acts 10:3. 8) While engaged In prayer, an nnjre. from God announced to him that hit prayers and aims had come befort God as a memorial, and Instructed him to send to Joppa for Peter, wlu would tell him what to do. (2) To Peter (Acts 10:9-16). It his vision Peter saw a certain vessel containing clean and unclean ^ ani mals, let down from heaven and heard the command, “Rise, Peter, kit' and eat.” Against Peter’s protest God said, “What God hath cleansed call thou not common.** Thla vessel let down from heaven and taken hack again indicated that both Jews and Gentiles were accepted on high. Tin spirit of God bade Peter to go witto the messenger* of Cornelius. Upoa arrival, Peter explained to Corneliui how God had removed his Jewish prejudice and then, being assured that they were ready to hear the mes sage from God, he preached Jesus Christ to them.
