We had not seen the fight Of the cav

IN Harper's Monthly, because we were
cot at the front. We would not let it
happen again. We Sung our packs and
most industriously plodded up the Via
del Rey until we got to within hailing
distance Of the picket posts. and he
said: "Now, Frederic. we will stay
here. They will pull of no more fights
on which we are not a party of the first
part" And stay we did. If Gen. Law
ton moved ahead, we went up and Guilt
vated Lawton; but il Gen. Chatfee got
ahead, we were his friends, and gath
cred at his mess fire. To be popular
with us II was necessary to have COM
rnInd Of the advance.
But what satisfying soldiers Lawton
and ChaffPe are! Both seasoned, pro-
tessional military types. Lawton. big
and long, forceful and with iron deter
mination. Chaffee, who never dis
mounts but for little sleep during the
darkest hours of the night and whose
bead might have been presented TO him
by one Of Williams Norman barons.
Such head! We used to sit around and
study that head. 1t does not belong to

JACKSON, Mss, Nov. 4, 1879
G C. Broome, Esq. Wesson Miss:
NV Dear Sir take pleasure in giving
YOU the desired information. At the SEES
sion Of the General Assembly held in Co
lumbia, Marion county, February So,
bill was introduced to remove the seat Of
government to Monticello for the next en-
suing June session 1t passed the lower
house by a majority Of one. The senate
would doubtless have passed it also but the
rule requiring all bills to be read on three
several days could not be dispensed with,
and they would have been compelled to sit
another day
At the session of November, 1921, the re-
port Of the Capital Commissioners, ap-
pointed under the act Of February, 1921,
located the Capital at what was then known
a, .,LeFleur's Bluff, but the act creating
the Commissioners provided that when the
selection was made the place should be
named Jackson, in honor Of Major-Gen-
eraI Andrew Jackson" And so when the
last session Of the General Assembly was
held at Columbia in June, 1922 it adjourned
to meet i'm the town Of Jackson on the
23d of December, 1922 80
[ have several times had occasion to cor
rect the impression that Monticello was at
one time the Capital Of the State 1t just
did miss the honor.
Prior to and including the Constitutional
Convention July, 1917, the town of Wash
ingrou in the county Of Adams was the
seat of the territorial government. That
Constitution provided that the first ses.
sion of the General Assembly shall com
mence on the first Monday in October next
Usl0, and be held in the city Of Natchez
and thereafter at such place as may be rli'
rected by law
At the fourth session in Nschez, Janu
airy and February 1871, an act was passed
to change the seat Of government to Co
Iumbia An amendment substituting the
town of Washington was rejected, Is to q
A motion to substitute Natchez was re
iected 10 to To substitute Liberty
rejected by II to II. And Columbia wor
by vote of II to 10. So that the next ses
sion Of the General Assembly was held il
that town in November, 1921; the next il
February, 1922, and the third and last il
June. 1922 Cordially yours,

senator Hardy, in 1898, introduced a
bill providing FOR IA record of Niss's-
sippi soldiers in the civil war. II pro
vided that the secretary Of state should
have a special clerk for two years
whose sole duty should be To collect
aud compile such records in the way OF
company rolls, sketches of regiments
reports of battles, casualties, etc, as
could yet be obtained. Nearly every
State North and South, commenced
this worl, many years ago, and quite a
number have complete history OF
every organization, and of every man,
from the beginning to the end OF the
war. When the Confederate congress,
in 1854, created the Office of supertn-
tendent of army records this writer
was appointed for Mississippi lie sue
ceeded in completing one brigade
HUMPHREYS consisting Of the Thir-
teeuth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth ana
Tweuty-frst regiments, and obtained
many rolls of Davis brigade, lie was
making fair progress with Harris
brigade, but the rolls of that brigade
were lost in the evacuation Of Peters
burg
The legislature, just after the war,
passed an act TO continue the work, but
military rule did not recognize the
utility Of rebellion records, although
the government has spent millions
since in getting them up Later on the
law was revived. and Col William H.
McCardle was appointed. He spent
some time in Washington, in ISIS, and
made a report to the legislature, but
the matter was closed for the want OF
further appropriations
The bill prepared by Capt. Hardy
passed the senate, but some of its
phraseology didn't suit some members
Of the house, and several of the old
rebs on the floor, who thought the obs
iectionable words expressed sound doc
trine, would not consent to striking
them out. and SO the bill was killed in
the house of its friends A special
committee Of the Mississippi Division
u. c. v. headed by General stephen d.
Lee, addressed the house in behalf OF
the measure. And it seems that the
General still cherishes a hope that
something may yet be done In letter
dated Columbus, Nov. l, he says:
My Dear Col Power have in my pos
session the Report of the Historian OF the
Confederate Records to the Assembly OF
South Carolina for the year 1885 also ac'
count of the raising of troops in South
Carolina for State and Confederate service,
1861 49,
II give this information still hoping that
an effort will be made by you and Others
to get the coming legislature to give you
an assistant to compile and publish the
Confederate records of the state. You are
assured of my hearty cooperation,
with kind wishes, your friend and com
rade, STEPHEN D. LEE.

STARVED SlxTY-F[VE DAYS

A~D. Hendrickson of GAINESVILLE,
Wis, has for siXty-five days partaken
CT no food, and there is no telling
when he will. MI. Hendrickson is 81
years old, but his long fast does not
seem to disturb him in the least. He
says he feels perfectly we'll and is not
at all hungry.
The case is attracting the attention
of physicians and is said to be with
out it's like in the records. On Dec. |
the octogenarian was stricken with
paralysis. For several days he was
unable to eat, but he soon recovered
the use of his muscles. He then re-
fused food and has lived on water
ever since. His pulse is normal, he
sleeps we'll and seems in no need of
nourishment. OF course he could be
forced to take food, but his family is
disinclined to adopt extreme measures
so long as the patient is in no. appar-
ent need of nutriment. Mr.. Hendrick-
son came here from New York in 1855,
and has been prominent as an educa-
tor in industrial and penal schools
since then. He was sent to England in
