Army Into Mexico and 1t was the
Palmetto Flag that Held the Place
Of Honor.
The Atlanta Constitution devotes
three columns in recent issue to writ
ing up the wire grass region of Georgia,
which is described as land Of plentiful
promise. 1t is said that immigrants
are pouring in and that agriculture and
horticulture flourish.
At the Atlanta Exposition we saw o
sign in the Georgia building which
read as follows: "Cedartown welcomes
Northern settlers" We presume no
Southern or Western men are wanted
in that section. Poulan, the new set
Element, does not seem to be so exclu-
sive as Cedartown, for we see that Col.
John G. McPhaul, genuine Tar Heel,
figured conspicuously in the cere-
monies attending the laying of the
corner stone of this new enterprise,
which is in Worth county. The Tar
Heel raised the stars and stripes and,
according to the correspondent, his
"place as the developer Of this section
must now become matter Of history"
Speaking of this flag business the
correspondent says;
ga significant part of the days pro-
ceedings was the unfurling of the old
fac to the breeze. 1t was fitting that
in county named for the gallant man
under whom the American army enter
ed Mexico, and who carried that flag
to its first victory in foreign war,
should assemble her people under its
folds as the protection under which it is
possible for individualism to accom-
plish its best results. While there were
in the assemblage many new citizens
from north of the Ohio, who may have
felt that it was to them that this acs was
due, yet. when they looked around
them and saw some Of the identical vet.

turn.
The Georgians get their historical
facts mixed. Gen. Worth did not lead
an American army into Mexico. just
before hostilities commenced, in 1S46,
be became miffed about some point OF
military etiquette, handed in his resig-
nation and went to Washington. While
he was there the victories OF Palo Alto
and Resaca- della Palma were gained.
As soon as he heard the news in Wash
ington he withdrew his resignation, but
did not get to the seat OF war until these
two battles were gained and the city
of Matamoros was taken. From that
tine on Worth did good service, but the
flag that foated over Chapultepee and
Mexico was Palmetto standard. Gen.
Worth was q merchants clerk when he
entered the army and was not West

SUGGESTIONS BY FURMAN.

Let Confederate Soldiers Write
Sketches Of Their War Records for
Their Families.
The memory of the Confederate war
is fast fading away. Many who glance
at this issue of the State will live to see
notices like this In the paper: C.
died on the = inst He was one of the
last surviving soldiers who fought in
the Confederate army" It is to be re-
gretted that 80 much history relating to
q cause which was fought for
so grandly should utterly perish.
How much do the school children
Of South Carolina know of Fighting
Bick" Anderson, one OF the bravest
men who ever drew sword, and who
received warm thanks from Robert E.
Lee, one Of the noblest men who ever
lived. Yet Fighting Dick" Anderson
was Q soldier who would have been an
honor to any country or any time, and
I am proud indeed to tell the school
children Of Sumter county that he be-
longed to our county. If were able,
I would publish, in monographs form,
succinct biographical sketches of every
ex-confederate soldier now living in
Privateer township. I would have
each sketch accompanied by likeness,
and would entitle the volume Sketches
Of Confederate Soldiers Living in Pri-
vsteer Township, Sumter county, South
Carolina, in 1897" would not COM
pile such volume because I hoped
to reap pecuniary reward, for I know
only too we'll how little interest our
people take in historical or biographical
works relating to our State, and such
work ss have described would not
even pay the expense Of publication: on
the contrary, it would be most costly
undertaking. Still, wish that such a
volume could be compiled about the
living Confederate soldiers Of every
county in South Carolina. Volumes
like these would not only be Of inter-
est and great value to the future his
torian, but also as genealogical matter.
I am truly glad that South Carolina is
doing the part she is in preserving Con-
federate records. Money spent for this
purpose is we'll spent.
I want to make this suggestion to the
Confederate soldiers of South Carolina:
Write succinct sketches of yourself and
give all of your descendants copy. If
you are unable to write the sketch your
self, get some one to write it for you.
Nothing elaborate need be written,
form like this could be used:
C. son of -. He was born at
or -. Attended school at -.
Belonged to Company -, and served
in the Confederate army = years. Was
present at the following battles -.
Married -, and has the following
children -. This sketch is written
by him for his descendants.
Such q sketch as this could be easily
written, and in future days would be Of
inestimable historical value. But this
is not all; children would feel more
veneration for father who would give
in tangible shape an account of his war
record, and when that father WAS dead
aud gone. how much they would prize
the sketch.
Perhaps this suggestion will not be
followed by single sketch, but I do no
harm in making it, and I make it for
the cause of history. .-McDonsld Fur
