l1 aii latter was his mother's eng

Sims Haskell a few of the nem in
rallied, charged and recaptured him !
and brought him out in front and
across the saddle. Co). Haskell
kV possessed a very fine sword, double
edged, (horned) this he wielded to
JS perfection, skill and great success. r
It was said by eve witnesses that he .
killed from ten to fourteen of the
enemy. He was a fine rider and a ]
magnificent specimen oi a man and ,
greatly beloved and admired by the
ontire regiment. Ho fltill lives in '
the city of Columbia. ^
While the enemy was retreating
many of them took to the woods for "
protection and evasion. Many were s
passed in our rush. Bill Going, B
mounted upon a diminutive pony, a
n could not keep up witii the fastest h
horses, came upon six FOTeral officers (
3 ranking from major to lieutenant. J
Bill said, "surrender." One of them s
said, "Is there any more rebels in the c
reir." "Yes," sajs Bill, "there is j
full brigade in support." One re- 0
marked: "Hadn't wo better sur. (
render." Bill says: '"Yea, and you I
had better be quick about it " They B
lt complied with his request and he sue- s
ceabfully delivered them to tho proper J
'J authorities. He was a most excellent f
' soldier. I don't know thatjBdl was
an expert poker player but he played r
? it on this occasion successfully. u
In this charge I witnessed a piti- fi
|8 ful sight. One of the 0:h S. C., t
( Chester Blues, I think, was mortally c
jt wounded, lying immediately in our h
front as we moved forward. lie /
manifested great agony, rolling and b
>8 tumbling, calling at' the top of his a
voioe, "Lieut. McFadders, Lieut, r
8 McFadders, help me." 1 greatly a
desired to help the poor fellow, but (
^ under the circumstances I could not. r
On this occasion our Company was d
commanded by our gallant Lieut. G. o
H. Jeter. While lying behind the I
fence awaiting orders, Frank Mill- a
wood crawled back behind an old t
18 stump some six or eight feet in rear r
ef; of line. This did not exhibit cow1
ardice, it was practiced by all,
0 besides he was a good soldier. On
the sharpshodtrraTmtn? wj-- ?..tp?,.i,
' to crawl back to the stump again. {
Lieut. Jeter, ever alert on sucn occasions,
saw it. He arose to bis feet ;
jj. and with a great deal of emphasis,
e(^ says: ''Frank, keep in line." Just
ke as Frank got fram the stump a shell
eft struck it, tearing it into numerous
>ld fragments. After the fight, Frank
Jre approached Lieut. Jeter and said:
' ''Lieutenant, I thank you very much
for ordering me from behind that
ka stump, if you had not there would
not have been any of poor Frank
tux This he said in a joke, of
)ur which he was an expert,
arp In this engagement we captured
)Wn eleven pieces of artillery with their
;her entire team of fine horses and many
?ent prisoners.

a good citizen, once a brave, honorable

died upon the battlefield but for the
love, devotion and heroic deed of his

but these daring and heroic deeds
were common with Confederate soldiers.
After our retreat to the edge
of the woods we halted and formed a
permanent line and threw up breastworks.
Bill Bevis came to me after
we had formed the line and said he
lef'. his gun where he and Story
took up Marlig, that his initials
were cut on the ^stockj of thejgun,
which was the first and only gun hs
had ever had since he first enlisted
and that he had . intended to. carry it
through the war if he- should live to
get through, and he wanted me to
go with him after the gun, although
ic was ngnc under the tire of the
\ ankees, he and I went and got the
gun which Bevis carried till the 17th
of June following when he was
severely wounded in a charge in
front of Petersburg and then he had
to give up his much loved enfield
rifle never to see it any more. Story
died a few years after the war and
Bevis died in Atlanta five years ago.

God moves in a mysterious way,

Many of the farmers have succeeded
in planting some cotton and corn, before
> our last rain. Every one expected to be
i done by this time, but the God of nature
prolonged the time. We stopped and
t listened at the whip-poor-will's merry
) tur.e, for we all remembered the time it
i ivua th? hrfiakintr of the winter, but;ahl
a yet it snowed on the 22nd of April. This
d unexpected cool snap startled our every
n thought. Y ou can look from hill to
v hill and view the beautiful green fleltjs
e of wheat as it flourishes at the will of
God.
y Mr. James Burgess has the finest
wheat in our neighborhood, also hM
ly some cotton sprouted. He lives on Mr.

lis Hero and there can be seen a yard
*r. covered with little chicks, which marks
jit a place of a thrifty family. In each

for another murk of industry,
ere Rev. S. T. Creech will preach at the
