Capt. Frank W. Greer, of Pacolet,
Writes Interestingly of the
People of the Island.
MADE FRIENDS OF THE SENORITAS.
Mr. Joiin It. M ath is,
Editor Union Timks, Union, S. C.
Df.ar Sik:?Your kind letter of
t)?e 17?h in^r. mvitiuirnie to write of
njy experi?nce in the Philippines received
1 appreciate the h<?ii'>r of
cnntiihutinp to your paper, for <>nce
upon a tune 1 was a member of its
force, and 1 hope. Sir, that I may so
write that it will interest every
reader of The Times, many ot whom
are old acijaintances and fiun friends
of uiiue. 1 tiust that those who are
prone to criiieise will not be too se\ ere
upon what 1 say, -and remember
4,that we arc many people wilh many
opinions" and as American citizens
we are free to express them. Many,
do doubt, have read the interview
which I gave the Spartanburg Daily ;
llerald, and which was reproduced ,
in This Ti.mks last week, so therefore,
I will not repeat it here.
I was a member of Co. F. 42nd
U. S. V., which regiment was organized
at F-rt Niagara, in the
Western part of the State of New
York and within a few mties of the
iambus Niagara Falls. 1 enlisted the
18th day of September, UH. and
asked to be assigned to this regiment,
for 1 greatly desind to see the falls
whicli I had the gieat pleasure of
doing many times during ilie da\s
that we stayed at this old historic
lort. The people in the vicinity of
Fort Niagara are thrifty, well to-do
farmers, ami gi ow an immense amount
of fruit which was ready for gathering
at the time we were organized and to
which we received cordial invitations
to help ourselves. Many of us had
the pleasure ot taking dinner with
souie of the families, at which it you
hailed lioiu "'Dixie's Land" y<.u were j
made to ftel more than welcome, and |
the way they would ply you with j
questions was enough to make you I
imagine you were a witness against
the prosecution. llut they aro good \
and intelligent people, and do not j
believe any more in the social equal- j
l/. ttion of the races than we of South 1
Carolina do. In fact they see clearer !
t"day than they did fdKy years ago
that the South arose upon her dignity
for honor's sake and the perpetuation
of white supremacy. And 1 believe '
they are sorry. lie that as it may, i
1 never felt prouder in my life of the
achievements of the South in the ;
late rebellion and never spoke with
a prouder emphasis than when I told 1
those of the North that I was a son '
of a Confcdeiate- soldier. Hut j
enough of this, everything is over
now and wo are a united people with j
one country?one fhig.
I have not the time here to give i
y<-u a detailed account of our
j urncy across the continent, suthce
b it to say that it was tiresome mtkI
long, fiom Oct. oOth to Nov. ,

about 10 o'clock on the morning of 2
Nov. 8th, and marched in sets of w
furs through this thoroughfare. 0
which was crowd'd upon the side
walks and on house tops many c
thousands of people cheering us on tl
to the battlefield as it were. Th?- 2
Sun Francisco Chronicle had a small t
cannon up in a window and they jr
fired us a solute of 13 guns which tl
made every man of us step with > \V

hand piayed a march winch has u

"Dixie" combined in it We re- J]
mained at San Francisco till Nov. h
30th when we went aboard of two ,J
transports bound for Manila, 8,000 ft
tnihs from our western shores. The r?
transports were the "Columbia" and 0!
a tramp steamer belonging to the It us \,
sian government and fixed up to ac ai
commodate Uncle Hani's boys, named %
"Dalncy Yo.*tock." I was upon tin- K

we were marched through the city ?o tX

day. We remained hero until Mon- b
day (at Honolulu) when we proceeded b
on our journey. On the 15th the y
sad news was signaled us lrom the w
"Columbia," which stayed a mile 55
ahead of us, that Private Ilall, of h
"L." Co., had gone to answer "re- o

Christmas caught us five days from
Manila harbor, hut wc had a 1 ice j.
time listening to songs of the light p
hearted boys w ho thought of their 1,
mothers and sweethearts at home M
across the mighty deep, and who
from these thoughts sang son^s which b
in every way seemed to he appropriate v
for the occasion. Christmas night
a musical conceit was given by the ti
enlisted nun which all enjoyed very w
much, December 50th irt about 10 Ui
o'clock we steamed into the harbor X
of Manila, passing upon our right the ?
hat 1 cry of Cavite. which saluted us <,
with 1-3 guns, and immediately after k
getting that salute tic heard a gun 1,
roar on our left, and on looking in Sl
t'oit direction we saw the three bull ii
d->gs of the Navy, the Nashville, t|
Brooklyn an<l Oregon, who were e
doing sentinel duty in those waters, u
We spent New Year's day upon the ^
transports, landing the morning of ?
the 2nd of Jan., 1901, and marched a
to wiu?t was known as the line of I
defense, which was from North Manila e
ro South Manila, and which was kept p
us a precaution against the insur w
rec'O's entering the city. It was J
ut>?mir five indes from Manila and f(
about ten miles long. We remained y
here untd Saturday evetiing, the u

t.ike three days rations and proceed ti
to Santa Cruz, a distune- of 100 p
