4 Regiment Of Soldiers WHO Toak Ouinine
to Save Their Lives.


In the month of July, 1864, the Fifth
, Georgia regiment, Confederate army,
was stationed at James island, near
Charleston, S. c. During that month
the regiment was ordered 70 Charles
ton, 10 take charge OF ten thousand
prisoners who had been removed
from Andersonville to Charleston At
that time, the yellow fever was raging
in the city with some violence. The
federal prisoners in charge Of the regi-
ment, were located at the Washington
race course, situated between the Ash
ley and Cooper rivers, and about ono
and one-half miles from the city prop
er. AS safeguard against the men OF
the regiment taking the fever, 1t was
ordered that at surgeons call, which
was sounded at an early hour in
| the morning, each company Of the reg
iment was to be marched to the sur
geon's tent, and dose of quinine ad-

soldiers the system was thoroughly
cleansed by taking doses Of castor oil,
before taking the quinine.
The regiment remained fully a month
| within cannon shot OF the main portion
of the city. while the fever was raging
| in an epidemic form, but in that time
not more than three or four men of the
| regiment were stricken down with the
disease, the result. no doubt, OF their
own imprudence in visiting the city
after nightfall.

A REMARKABLE STORY.
An Old Couple Who Bought Themselves
Out of Slavery Twice Over.

Old Aunt Jenny Mathis, or Aunt
"Ginny" Buck, as she was called by
every body, a good old colored wom-
an, well known to the citizens of Haw-
kinsviIle and vicinity, died at her
home in this place not long ago, aged
about seventy-tve years. Aunt Jen-
ny's history is remarkable one. She
was born a slave, and was owned in
her young days by a planter in NiLkln-
son County BY working in her leisure
moments, and saving every penny she
armed she accumulated enough to pur-
chase her freedom about 1897. She
kept a restaurant or hotel here, and
was literally patroni2ed by the white
itizens. Many prominent citizens
boarded with her. and hers was the
leading, and, in fact, the only hotel in
Hawkinsville fifty years ago. Aunt
Jenny's husband known as old Uncle
Buck, assisted his master, a Mr..
Mathis, around his store, and saved
money and, with the assistance of
Aunt Jenny, who sold cakes,
etc, in addition to carry
ing on her restaurant they
were enabled, in few years, 10 purchase
Uncle Bucks freedom, paying about
$1,000 in gold. About the time they
bought themselves law was enacted
by the Georgia Legislature prohibiting
the buying of slaves by themselves.
The former owner Of Aunt Jenny and
Uncle Buck turned over bill Of sale
to them to a gentleman named Nc
Combs, who went to Macon and died
there very suddenly. The bill OF sale
was found among his effects, with no
explanation. and through some process
of law Uncle Buck and Aunt Jennie
were again put into slavery. For sew
eral years they worked as slaves, and
at length secured money enough and
again bought their freedom, paying
between $1,000 and $1,000 the second
time
In the meantime their son Sam was
born to them, and he was sold off and
carried to louisiana After buying
themselves the second time Aunt Jenny
and her husband went to Louisiana
and tried to buy Sam, but his owner
refused to sell him. They then moved
to Ohio, and lived there several years,
but became dissatisfied and returned to
Hawkinsville, saying they preferred to
live in Georgia, though it was slave
State. The war came on and their son
Sam was freed and came to Hawkins
vile, where he now lives.-HawEinS-

Mr.. Palmer, Pittsburgh natural
gas expert, has made the calculation
that each day 600, 100000 cubic feet of
natural gas are drawn from the bowels
of the earth for use in that city. This
amount weighs over Il, 900, 900 pounds,
of which 100000 pounds is carbon.
Mr.. Palmer is of the opinion that, with
the withdrawal of so much material,
something will give way. Already,
since the development of natural gas
in Western Pennsylvania, there have
been several shakes
