(Rev. John Kershaw in the Sunday
News.)
In the summer of 1863, when I was
II years old. my father wrote to my
mother that I might ride his horse,
"8tone." out to him in Virginia. The
horse had been shot through the neck
during the fight at the stone wall near
Frederlcksbur.r, December, 1862, and
had been sent home to recruit. He
had got entirely well and was as
frisky as a colt. Some men of the
7th S. C, cavalry were then at home
on a "horse furlough," as it was call?
ed. I. e., had obtained leave of ab?
sence to go home and procure horses
In place of those killed In battle or
disabled, and It was arranged that
I should go with these friends bark
to Virginia so soon as they had se?
cured their mounts ."Stone" belonged
first to a surgeon In the Federal army
by that name, and the manner in
which he came into father's posses?
sion was this: It was at the first
battle of Manassas. when, about three
In the afternoon, father's regiment
was ordered in. He rode by the
side of Company A, on the right of
the regiment. This company wore a
blue uniform,, as also did my father.
As yet Confederate grey had not been
adopted as the general uniform of
the Southern armies. This may have
deceived the surgeon, who rode up
to father as the regiment was push?
ing forward, and said In a tone of
deep Indignation and anger, Colonel,
why are you retreating, sir?" to
father's Intense astonishment.
He replied with great emphasis,
"Retreating, sir? I'm not retreating.
I'm advancing. Who are you, sir?"
"I am Surgeon Stone, of the
Rhode Island regiment. Who are
you. sir?"
"I'm Colonel Kershaw, of the 2nd
South Carolina. You will please dis?
mount and consider yourself a pris?
oner."
So Surgeon Stone became a prison?
er and his horse father's property.
"Old Stone" was a great favorite
with his new owner and with the men
of the command. He was well train?
ed, strong and handsome, would have
made a crack hurdle racer, and loved
a fight The fine description of the
war horse in the Book of Job, 39 th
chapter, fitted old Stone perfectly:
"He smith among the trumpets. Ha
ha: and he smelleth the battle afar
off. the thunder of the captains, and
the shouting." In 1864. at Fisher's
Hilt. In the Valley of Virginia, the
noble horse was killed In the thickest
of the fray. It was in the afternoon
of the day that made Sheridan fa?
mous by reason of his ride from Win?
chester, his rallying of th-i scattered
Union forces, and his conversion of
what had been a great victory for the
Cenfederates into a terrible defeat.
In the charge ordered by Sherman
eld Stone was struck, once by a
Mints ball and afterwards full in the
chest by a grapeshot. He fell upon
his knees, giving father time to dis?
mount, and dragging himself painful?
ly along until he reached the shadow
of a wide-spreading chestnut, he
stretched out his great limbs and
died like the hero he was. I am
glad to have the opportunity of pay?
ing this tribute to an animal that was
almost human In his comprehension
and brave as a lion.
Rejoicing at the permission given
me to visit my father, especially in
the MMMMf indicated, I was soon
made ready f?.r the expedition and
set out one fine summer morning,
with one cavalryman as companion
and guardian, for the town of Che
raw, where the other m- n w. re order?
ed to rendezvous. The day after we
all marched for Virginia. Among
the men I became acquainted with
was a felb.w named Page, who had
exchanged from a regim-nt BOlng
duty along the South Carolina coast
to one In Lee's army. This man bul?
lied me considerably from time to
tlm*. but twice I "got even" with
htm f>n whl'o hithlng In a river
that we crossed, he tried to "duck"
mo. He being clumsy and a poor
swimmer, whllo I was light, active
and entirely at home In the water,
nesrly drowned him by way of retali?
ation Tho next and last time was
while we were in camp at Staunton,
Va? where he began by throwing
chips at me. 1 retorted in kind.
Kroni chips It came to brickbats as
Urge as a man's flat, and I succeed?
ed In belaboring him unmercifully,
much to the amusement of the other
men who were watching tbla duello
with great Interest. I'age and 1 be?
came good friends after that. Flnal
ly we reached the army nt Culpogpef
Court House, after three days'agony
at Oettyaburg. The next day I saw
from tho piazza of a little Inn at
Stevensburg a cav.ilrv tight which In?
terested mo extremely. Our people
wer? driven hick about two miles or
mor*?. and until the T'nbm cavalry
camo In sight of our Infantry In line
of battle. They then In turn re?
treated When T went that after,
noon to Inquire for my friends with
whom I had gono on, and who had
been engnged In the fight. 1 was
much Imprcessd by learning that som^
had been wounded and some captur?
ed. It was the first time I realized
what the fortunes of war were. Some
of those men never saw home agai'i
until the war was over.
While on the piazza at Stevens
r*arg a man rode up whom I recog?
nized as a relative, a famous scout,
reported killed a few days before.
One of his companions?the only our
to escape, so it was alleged?had told
father that he had seen my cousin
fall and was sure that he was dead.
Father had written and mnlled a let?
ter of condolence to the young man's
mother, giving such details as lie
could gather from the supposedly sole
survivor of this ill-starred MOUtiUg
party, and we had mourned hlrn us
dead. 1 had not veen Dim for two
years, and therefore it was not sur?
prising that I should h**M hesitated
before speaking to him. especially
MtCT all we had heard >f his certain
i!ea*h. He was eyeing me quic at
OlOaClj as I was him, and at last, with
growing conviction, I called him by
name. He responded by calling mine.
I said. "I thought you had been
killed."
He explained by saying that his
horse had been shot and had fallen
on him in the affray. He got on his
feet and took refuge In a swamp, but
was finally captured. He had the ex?
treme good fortune to be exchanged
In a very few days, and was then
on his way to Join his regiment, hav?
ing surprised and captured a Union
picket and his horso as he came
along. I told him of the letter that
had been mailed to his mother, ana
he went with me to father's quarters,
where he was received as one risen
from the dead. A telegram telling
the good news was lmemdlately sent.
It reached his mother before the let?
ter. She did not understand the dis?
patch until the letter arrived. There
was great Joy In that house when
the facts were duly ascertained.
When the time came for me to re?
turn home father said, "I intend
sending you to the Military Academy
next year. You are too ycung I
think to go into the army row. At
the Academy you will be drilled and
disciplined in the school of the sol?
dier, and should the war continue
you will be called upon after a while
to serve in the ranks. Promise me
that you will not run away and go
into the army. If u find yourself
at any time so anxious to go that
you cannot resist the desire, let me
know and I will arrange for you to
come to me."
I gave the promise, and that was
how I became a "cadet in grey."
n.
Charleston In '63.
One not himself an eyewitness of
events and happenings in and about
the famous old City by the Sea from
the summer 1863, when the Federal
troops got possession of Morris Island,
until the close of the struggle, could
hardly believe In the truthfulness of
the description I am about to give.
From Hasell street to "the Battery,"
as White Point Oarden Is called, was
practically deserted. West of St.
Philip street, from Wentworth street
south, a few people lived, but the ma?
jority of Charleston's old Inhabitants
were refugees In the Interior of the
State, and the most of those who re?
mained lived In the northern and
western section of the city, out of the
range of Olllmore's shells. Grass and
weeds filled all the streets, and to
walk along those silent thoroughfare
was like travesing a city of the dead.
Every few minutes there would be B
deep boom, followed by the shriek of
the falling shell, a crash as the heavy
missile struck house or pavement, and
a tremendous detonation as the shell
exploded, carrying destruction In its
wake. The yards and gardens in the
summer of Itfl were full of fruit,
figs, frapet and peaches, and the < a
AetS got their full share of these.
Whoever else went without. There
was no one to gainsay them?none
to molest or make them afraid, if v
except Qlllmore'l messengers, and
many was the raid the hoys went on
during those hours of recreation In
which, as on Saturdays' and Sunday'*
they were given leave to go beyond
"garrison limits." The spires of St.
Michael's church and St. Philip's
were the consplclous objects of Gill
more's attentb ns, and hence the most
dangerous portion of the distance we
had to past over In getting to the
fruit was at and near the site of these
churches, We would await annul the
Market until a shell had fallen, ; nd
iri the five or ten minutes Interval be?
fore the next we would push rapidly
on until the danger point was passed,
when we would fall into a more
leUurely g;ilt and proceed to plunder
Often at night we would go upon
I he roof of the Citadel ;,,,?! watch tin
Shelling. We COUld see the flash of
the gun on Morris Island and the
burning fuse as the shell mounted
Up and tip towards the zenith, until
it would look as though it would nev?
er stop. We noticed that Just as the
?hell would begin its downward
course the sound of the gun's "boom''
WOUKI be heard, and then the tern"',
nolae ?>f the des. ending shell, brew?
ing louder and nrnn? loud until i!
druck the earth and burled Itself,
either to explode with deafening e m
eusalon or. as would nometlm"* occur,
f; ii to explode, Frequent fi ? s re
suited from the sheling, and tlid oil
volunteer lire department would be
called out to extinguish the flames.
As soon as these fiery tongues shot
into the air, Illuminating the sky, the
shelling would be redoubled. Fight?
ing fire Is In no circumstances a
pleasant or easy undertaking, but It
was made doubly perilous at such a
time as that. Members of the signal
corps occupied St. Michael's steeple,
as well as the old Bathing House, off
the South Battery. From their eleva?
tion the whole harbor lay liko a
panorama before them. The block?
ading lleet In tho offing, the grim and
silent walls of Sumter, Morris, Folly
and Sullivan's Island, with the white
tents of the opposing armies, and,
nearer, Castle Plckney and Fort Rip
ley, with James Island and its nu?
merous batteries to the south, were
all visible. Next the sea wall of the
Battery was an immense gun carry?
ing a shot weighing seven hundred
pounds, the largest missile then in
use, I presume. It was much admir?
ed and it was thought no vessel of
any sort could withstand the Impact
of such a shot. This gun burst at
the first shot, and the concussion
damaged the houses near it more
than did the grear earthquake of
August 31, 1886. The reason for tb's
was that there wa* an air chamber
in the breech by the powder. This
fact was not known to those loading
the gun and the powder was rammed
against the breech by them. When
it was fired the gun burst.
The monotony of the siege was
occasionally relieved by the arrival
and departure of the blockade run?
ners. The wary fellows were caught
more than once by the vigilant fleet.
One was beached on Sullivan's Island
nearly in front of Fort Moultrie. The
soldiers relieved her of most of her
freight during the night. Next morn?
ing she was soon battered to pieces
by the fire from Morris Island. A
quantity of liquor being part of the
cargo, the garrisons of the several
forts on Sullivan's Island were In
a state of helplessness during that
night and the day following.
Academic exercises went on unin?
terruptedly during the earlier months
of 1864. One became accustomed to
the regular boom of the big guns in
the harbor, and it was difficult to
realize that we were living in a be?
leaguered city. But early one morn?
ing a rumor gained currency that the
battalion was about to be ordered
into service. Great enthusiasm pre?
vailed among the cadets, and when
it was ascertained to be true that we
were really going to James Island to
resist the advance of the Federals
from the Stono River the military
ardor was immense We embarked
in light marching order on a dilapi?
dated transport steamer and were
landed on James Idand near the
noted "Hundred Pines"?a group of
tall trees that were a well known land?
mark for many years, but at this
writing not a single one remains. It
was springtime and the dewberries
were in the greatest abundance. We
noted this as we marched along, and
mentally decided to feast upon them
when we should pitch our camp. By
the time we neared Secessionville
there was many a footsore cadet, and
one man had fainted on the march.
We were finally taken to the rear of
u large earthwork not far from the
Stono, and there went into camp. We
did not then or at any time during
our fortnight on the island encounter
the enemy, but the sandllies and mos?
quitoes and fleas! How they waxed
fat upon us! The boys bathed and
ate the berries besprinkled with
sugar, served ont as rations, drank
dally a vile compound termed
"prophylactic," supposed to be a pre?
ventive of fever, and did picket duty
on outposts where they were not al?
lowed to light a fire, but had to en?
dure the assaults of the unterrifled
sandfly throughout the long hours of
the night. We used to gather arms
ful of broom-grass, roll them into
a tight ball, light them and sit in
the smoke to escape the plague of
fies and mosquitoes, Pipes were
plentiful among the cadets, and we
were served rations of tobacco. These
helped to drive away the pertinacious
insects In a measure. The boys
would roll themselves head and feet
In their blankets to escape them,
but the necessity of making an oc?
casional opening to get breath also
allowed the little nuisances to effect
an entrance and sleep was Impos?
sible.
One night we all suffered for wa?
ter, and parties went In various dir
ections to look for it. Finally the re?
port came that some had la-en found.
We all eagerly repaired to the spot
and drank deeply of What tasted
sweeter than any nectar, as we es?
teemed it. but when we were going
hack to camp next morning we pass?
ed the spring at which we had slaked
our thirst and a muddler, more re
pulslve and foul pool of water none
of us had ever seen. In front of the
works were large but shallow pools
of water, In which lived great green
frogs, whose hind legs are esteem
uch a delicacy by the gourmands.
Some of the boys tried a fricassee
and pronounced it "better than
chicken." This argues a great scar?
city of that sort of food among the
cadets. Mm ept when a box came
tfoin home laden with toothsome dell
aclea the boys never saw anything
in the line of food beyond tough |
>eef, salt fish, sorghum syrup, hominy
rice and corn bread. The usual bill
of fare was hominy, beef, corn bread
and coffee for breakfast; beef and
rice for dinner; corn bread, syrup and
coffee for supper. Yet we were very
happy, had excellent appetites and
there were few "hospital rats" in the
corps.
As soon as practicable the cadets
were relieved from active duty In the
held and returned to the Academy. It
was difficult to begin again the'
routine of study after such a frolic
as we had had, but such was the dis?
cipline that after a few days it all
seemed like a dream to us?the tented
field, the picket duty, the redoubt at
Grimball's Causeway and the sand
files!
Soon after this we were detailed as
provost guard in the city, where our
duty was to picket the wharves,
guard the several commissary depots
and patrol the "New Bridge" over the
Ashley, which Connected the city
with St. Andrew's Parish, and that
with James Island by means of a
bridge over Wappoo Cut. Thus the
summer drew on and in July the
cadets were furloughed until the
autumn, leaving only a guard at the
Citadel. Later on, yellow fever hav?
ing been brought in by a blockade
runner from Nassau, and threatening
to become epidemic, the remaining
cadets were also furloughed and the
doors of the Institution closed.
(To be continued.)
The Liquor Issue.
What is the liquor issue about
which we are hearing so much from
certain candidates for office in South
Carolina this summer? Simply this,
and nothing more: Shall the Gen?
eral Assembly spend its time during
the next two years wrangling over
the question of whether or not the
six counties In South Carolina now
"wet" shpll be compelled against the
wishes of the people of those coun?
ties to become "dry?"
That Is the whole matter In a very
few words.
The election of a candidate espous?
ing State-wide prohibition would set?
tle nothing. However, it would, of
course, be construed by the prohibi?
tionist leaders as indicating the de?
sire of the people of South Carolina
that the entire State be made "dry"
by act of the Legislature, and they
would exhaust every effort to make
the members of the General Assem?
bly see the matter in this light.
What would be the result? Most
probably, one of the bitterest legisla?
tive fights the State has witnessed
for years. No very Intimate acquaint?
ance with the facts is necessary to
make that plain.
It Is, understand, less than a year
since, on August 17, 1909, to be ex?
act, every "wet" county in South Car?
olina was given the opportunity to
vote liquor out. Six counties elected
to continue the county dispensary
system.
Candidates espousing State-wide
prohibition now urge that these six
counties be compelled to discontinue
the sale of alcoholic beverages.
The question, understand, is not
whether a majority of the people of
South Carolina think prohibition a
good thing or a bad thing, but
whether a majority of the voters of
the Palmetto State desire to precipi?
tate a legislative contest which would
most probably engender much hard
feeling and preclude the possibility
of proper attention being given to
matters of the very largest Import?
ance to the entire State.
Unless T. G. McLeod Is the next
Governor of South Carolina our peo?
ple may anticipate a period of such
dissensions as has not been known
in this State for considerably more
than a decade. Can we afford it?
Will it be fur the good of the Com?
monwealth? Will it help the cause

LEE STATUE TO REMAIN.
President Taft Approves Attorney
General WtckershanVs Opinion.
President Taft has approved,
without comment, an opinion by At?
torney-General Wickershara to the
effect that there is no provision of
law by which the statue of Gen. Rob?
ert E. Lee, in Confederate uniform,
can be removed from Statuary Hall,
in the Capitol at Washington.
In addition to deciding the ques?
tion on a purely legal basis, Mr. Wick
ersham argues the matter from an
ethical point of view, declaring that
Lee has come to be regarded as typi?
fying all that was best in the cause
to which he gave his services and the
most loyal and unmurmuring accept?
ance of the complete overthrow of
that cause. That the State of Vir?
ginia should designate him for a
place in Statuary Hall as one illus?
trious for distinguished military ser?
vice, the Attorney-General says, is
but natural and warranted under the
reading of the law.
Mr. Wickersham's opinion was call?
ed forth by protest to the President
from the Department of New York,
Grand Army r?* the Republic. In
his opinion, addressed to and ap?
proved by the President, the Attor?
ney-General says:
"I have read the resolutions adopt?
ed by the Department of New York,
Grand Army of the Republic, at
Syracuse on June 23, and the com?
munications of Hon. James Tanner
with respect to them. The act of
July 2, 1864, referred to, provides for
tho creation of suitable structures
and railings in the old hall of the
House of Representatives for the re?
ception and protection of statuary,
which is to be under the supervis?
ion and direction of the chief of en?
gineers in charge of public buildings
and grounds, and the statute authori
des the President to invite each and
all the States to provide and furnish
statues in marble or bronze, not ex?
ceeding two in number for each
State, of deceased persons who have
been citizens thereof, and illustrious
for their historic renown or from
distinguished civic or military ser
vces, such as each State shall deem
to be worthy of this national com?
memoration; and when so furnished
the same shall be placed in the old
hall of the House of Representatives
in the Capitol of the United States,
which is set apart, or so much there?
of as may be necessary, as a national
statuary hall for the purpose herein
indicated."
No Limitation In the Act.
"It is probably true," continued the
Attorney-General, "that when this
act was passed Congress did not con?
template that any State would des?
ignate one or more of its citizens who
were then engaged in warlike rebel?
lion against the Government of the
United States as persons illustrious
for their historic renown or for dhv
tinguished civic or military servcea
whose statues should be placed Id
this hall. Nevertheless, perhaps In
the hope that what Mr. Lincoln so
fittingly described as 'this scourge of
war' might soon pass away and that a
reunited country might be realised,
Congress placed no limitation In the
act upon the exercise of the discret?
ion of any State in selecting those
persons whom it 'may deem to be
worthy of this national commemor?
ation.' It is now 45 years since the
Civil War closed. Robert E. Lee has
come to be generally regarded as
typifying not only all that was best
in the cause to which, at the behest
of his native State, he gave his ser?
vices, but also the most loyal and
unmurmuring acceptance of the com?
plete overthrow of that cause. That
the State of Virginia should desig?
nate him as one illustrious for dis?
tinguished military servce is there?
fore natural: that his statue should
be clothed in the Confederate uni?
form, thus eloquently testifying to
the fact that a magnanimous country
has completely forgiven an unsuccess?
ful effort to destroy the Union, and
that that statue should be accepted
in the national Statuary Hall as the
symbol of the acceptance without
misgiving, of a complete surrender
and that a renewed loyalty, should
surely provoke no opposition. But
at all events, Independently of the
question of taste, the act of Congress
places no restriction upon the desig?
nation by the States of those whom
they may desire to honor in this way.
nor does it vest in any official any
censorship concerning the designa?
tion of the costume In wheh a statue
shall be depicted.
"Therefore, under the existing law.
I am of the opinion that no objection
can be lawfully made to the placing
in Statuary Hall of the National
Capitol of a statue of Robert E. Lee
clothed in the Confederate uniform."

Presidential "Hint" Given Secretary
of Interior By Crane.
Beverly, Mass., Aug. 4.?Senator
Winthrop Murray Crane, of Massa?
chusetts, met Secretary of the Interior
Baliinger at Minneapolis yesterday,
and acting on the initiative of leaders
in the Republican party, with the
tact acquiescence of President Taft,
suggested that the Cabinet officer ten?
der his resignation before October 1.
From a source of the highest au?
thority here today comes this explana?
tion of the "accidental" meeting of
the Massachuetts Senator and the
Secretary of the Interior yesterday.
Several days ago Senator Crane
paid a mysterious visit to Beverly. At
that time the news leaked out that ba
was going West "on a mission" the
nature of which was kept secret.
Great pressure of late has been
brought to bear on Taft to hint to
the head of the Interior Department
that he should retire, on the ground
of extreme political expediency. Lead?
ers in the party got together and se?
cured a tacit acquiescence from Taft
and yesterday the Massachuesetta so
Ion put the proposition to Balllnger.
Senator Crane, according to au
thorative Information, told Bal?
llnger yesterday that he must step
down within a few weeks after the
report of the Congressional investi?
gating committee is made public.
The committee meets at Minneapo?
lis during the week of September 11.
Its verdict on the conservation contro?
versy exonerating the Secretary will
be given to the public almost imme?
diately. Balllnger is expected to re?
tire to his law practice in Seattle
and at some time prior to the wind
up of the Congressional campaign.
Taft has felt a peculiar delicacy
about informing Balllnger of the tre?
mendous pressure brought to bear
upon him to change the present re?
gime at the Interior Department, ajid
the plan of having the proposition
put to Balllnger by party leaders was
the outcome of much thought on the
part of the President's political ad?
visers.
At the Executive offices today no
information was vouchsafed in regard
to the matter, and it was stated that
Senator Crane had no appointment
with the President. The Massachu?
setts Senator, however, Is one of the
few for whom the latch string on the
Taft cottage always hangs out, and he
is in the habit of dropping In very
often.
