Gen. Carr's War Record.

1t is a pitibla reflection on the
manliness, truthfulness aud intel
ligente Of some North C~aroIinians
who say thai Ger. Carr was never
in battle. I am one of III Sc who
think Il at when a man has an or
portunlty TO know the truth End
fails to get it and tell it he is as
false as ths man vino wiifully tells
a lie. Gen Carr was in the Third
North Carolina Cavalry. I know
of my own personal knowledge
that on the day that General
Pearam was killed he carried to
Gen. P.gram ona of the last mess
sages that be received, just before
1e died, ard Gen. Carr was then,
as Gen. Pegram always was, under
q terrific fire and in the thickest
of the fight.
] know of my W personal
knowledge that on the occasion Of
the raid of Gen. Warren's infantry
corps, with a great division of
Federal cavalry, to destroy the
bridge at Weldon and otherwise
depredat is our own State, Julian
S. Carr rode with his company at
the head OF the Third North Cars
DINA Cavalry in as fierce and
deadly a charge and conflict as the
North Carolina Cavalry was ever
engaged in, and that at night was
beset with a fearful ambuscade.
/ know of my own personal knowl-
edge that in camp,on picket and IN
battle he was as faithful and duti-
fdl a soldier as North C4rolina
had in the ranks, for | saw these
things: and any man desiring to
know the truth, for the love of the
truth and above all personal pref
erences, could have easily learned
them from many sources IN North
Caroline.

seem TO forget that the assertion
that Gen, Carr a never in bat

1t is understood that General
Julian S. Carr, Of North Caro-

famous Complete Flour" and
every minister Of every denomi-

General Carr's use of the -four,
tallying with the opinions of a
long array of bankers, jurists,
physicians, presidents of colleges.
and ministers as to its value for
brain workers and persons with i'm

it into thousands of parsonages.

To the Ed.tor:
The e appeared an article in
The Morning Post on the 18th,
written fion Hamilton. N. c., by
"Sergeant Siade," no tries to
make light o. the war record of
my townsnan, julian S. Carr. In
the Post of yesterday he calls
upon Csrr 10 state what company
be belonged TO, aad there seems
to be some controversy between
himself and Lieutenant Ridoiek,
of Youngsville, as to the company
10 which Carr served.
AS Mr.. Carr is away from home.
I will answer Sergeant Slade aud
state that j. S. Carr and l were
both members Of the same COM
pany during the war, and it was
Company K; but the statement of
Lieutenant Rldd,ck is not far
from correct, inasmuch as COM
panies I AMI X constituted one
squadron, and we usually operated
as a squadron and not as a single
company, except when in camp.
1t was While serving in squadron
[ that we would b3 under Captain
Robertson and Lieutenant Rid
dick, officers of Company |, who
were senior and ranked above
Company K. As pr, viously
stated, officers of Company I
were our while on active duty,
as a squadron.
I remember well that Julian S.
Carr was by ny side during the
battle Of Belfeld, Va, which was
in progress at MISUNDERSTANDING
and marching-for two weeks.
Carr was also. to my personal
knowledge, in the battle of Stony
Creek, Va, aud also il several
skirmishes. II gives me pleasure
to testify 10 his fidelity as Con-
federate soldier, and I now call
upon Sergeant S ade TO name, if
he can, q single incident where
julie Carr failed to perform his
duty or answer a roll call. II he
does otkncw Of failure on Cars
part, it seems to ne he would
have been engaged in better bust
ness than he was inswriting to
the Morning Post of the 18Th, in
which he tries to create the i'm
preston that julie Carr was moth
ing but a "tin soldier" when it
is a fact that Julian S. Carr was
true TO his State in war as he is
faithful in times Of peace. It will
be one OF the proudest acts Of
my life to vote for him for Unis
ted States Senator on November
9Th. In ali these years that, be
has been my comrade, neighborl
and friend, my admiration forj
his character has steadily grown.
