Capture OF DE Gre>s Battery.

Since December, 1896, the Atlanta
Camp, No. 159, United Confederate
Veterans, has been investigating the
evidence as to which Confederate or
ganization captured the famous De
Gress battery in the battle of Atlanta,
on June %, 1864. Judge Robert L..
Rodgers. the historian of this camp,
has made diligent search, taking the
testimony of living witnesses and the
official records of the battle. At the
December, 1893, meeting of the camp
he made his report, giving due credit
to Manigault's brigade, and naming
them as the captors OF the battery.
His sympathies must have been with
the claims of the Georgia contestants,
and it speaks highly for his indepen-
dent and manly spirit, and the strong
evidences in favor of the claims of the
gallant brigade of Manigault, that he
shoald have been forced by the evi-
dence to decide lis he has done.
His report was accepted by the camp
and the discussion. it is hoped, is now
closed. In summing mp at the end of
his report Judge Rodgers says: IL call
special attention to that part of Capt.
DE Gress' report where he says that
the rebels were repnlsed in his front,
but. breaking through the centre (of
the line,l changed front and charged
his battery and captured it. This
would seem to show that the troops
who went behind the Battery A at the
railroad are to be credited with the
capture of De Gress Battery, H. What
command was it, and who were those
daring soldiers who got i'll the rear of
Battery A, and caused such confusion
and stampede among the Yankees at
that point? The evidence seems
to sustain Col. C. I. Walker as to the
capture of De Gress' Battery being
made by his regiment. or by the troops
of Manigault's brigade. The terrible
struggle of the Georgia troops was
south of the railroad, and there does
not appear to be any evidence that the
De Gress Battery, H, was at any time
that day ON the south side Of the GeOr-
gia Railroad"
1t is fair to Gen. Walker to say that
he has never made any claim that the
10th South Carolina regiment captured
tie De Gress battery, but has always
claimed the credit for Manigault's bri-
gade as whole. He has always and
only claimed for the 10th South Caro-
lima regiment individually that the
regiment captured the four guns of
Battery A, which were north of the
Georgia Railroad.
The gallant men Of Manigault's bri-
gade, composed of the 10th and 18th
South Carolina and Gath, 28th and 34th
Alabama Regiments, are pleased that
their splendid achievements on this af-
ternoon have been acknowledged in
the city in whose defence they fought.

LANCE in awhile see something
" funny in newspaper, and this
is the greatest joke of the century,
said Mr.. Sweet, up at our, boarding
house. He was looking at the morning
paper, which was folded and propped
against the strip pitcher in front Of
him. AS he spoke he seemed almost
pleased. The expression of saturnine
ferocity softened into one of malignant
glee.
Miss Baxter, the art student, Mr..
Crosby, of the wholesale grocery, and
Miss Dixon, the stenographer, looked
up in surprise. No wonder. Mr.. Sweet
did not often praise any work of man.
He had an especial contempt for puns
and witticisms. He WINGED at the
repartee which sent the young women
into hysterical giggling. Therefore, for
Mr.. Sweet to say that he had found
something funny was altogether out Of
the ordinary and for him to give the
opinion that certain joke was the
greatest of the century, was simply
astounding. s.s 4,

Hare Hunting.

J. Hare hunting is undoubtedly a, more
antique sport than the chase Of the
fox. Xenop hon pursued it with delight
in ancient Greece, and in Britain the
hare was for centuries looked upon as
a far more worthy q arry than the fox,
which, until the time Of Queen Eliza
beth, and even later, was regarded as
mere vermin. Nicholas Cox, author Of
"The Gentleman's Recreation "a work
on sport, publ shed in 1917, writes thus
enthusiastically: 'sAs of all chases the
Fl makes the greatest pastime, SO ii
is a great delight and satisfaction to-
see the craft Of this little poor Beast
in .aer own self-preseryation. Z And it
is to be admitted that in those shifts
and exp dients which afford to lovers Of
hounds the true delights Of hunting the
timid hare is at least as fertile as any.

all right. Suddenly a big man comes
down the hallway and grabs him by
the hand and says: Admiral, I don't

dinner at the same table with you at
Old Point Comfort is years ago.. Me
and few of my friends is about to

about you. One of 'em had brother
at Manila. Well, then, look here! If
you can't go with us now, where can we
meet you tonight after the show?' And
all the time, mind you, this big fellow
has been trying to pull him over and
get him into the elevator.

gets to his room and locks the door?

needn't bother him. He can throw
them into the waste basket if he wants
to. Probably that's what he'll do. Then
he'll drop into a chair and say: Atslast
I can have moments peace!' Just
then the wardrobe door opens and out
steps a tall woman carrying a hand
satchel. She says: Admiral, my pen
name is Susette Gall. Of course you've
read my articles. I have come to get
your life-mask for the Sunday paper
It goes into the colored supplement, and
/ think we shall do it in pink That
is properly his finish. That is when he
begins to get his rest and quiet in
chunks. Now, Mr.. Crosby and ladies,
I may have a perverted sense of humor,
but do you sit there and tell me that
you don't see something; excrutiatingly
funny in the suggestion that Admiral
Dewey return to this country in order
to get away from all responsib ility and
excitement? Which do yourecommend
