Till GA[P77Q[RE OF AzA
AAA GEN[ERGA]L El@17E@.
[W. p. Bloodworth, in Atlanta Evening News.

Near the little village of Goggans
in the upper part of Monroe county
Georgia, lives one of the truest men
and bravest soldiers that ever fought
for the Stars and Bars and followed
the cause of Jackson and Lee.
Though unknown to fame, for a
modest man is this hero in gray, he
performed one of the most notable
deeds of the civil war by capturing
General, afterwards President, Ruth
erford b. Hayes, of Ohio.
When the war came on, w. G.
Gardner was young farmer, just
thirty years of age, living on the
same little farm that he lives on
now. His humble cottage home
was frightened by the presence of a
sweet young wife and two little
children. But he answered duty's
call with sturdy and willing heart,
and went to the front as q private
soldier in Company a, Fourteenth
Georgia-thc old Quitman Guards.
DR.. Ethridge was the first captain
of the company, which was in Gene
raj Thomas brigade, A. p. Hills
division, Jackson's Corps.
But sitting in the golden sunshine
that floods his humble home, with a
smile lighting up his kindly face as
he bids you welcome, this knight,
in homely garb, shall tell you his
story, just as he told it to me.
''It was at the battle of the
Wilderness, on the sixth day of
May, 1864. On the 5th we had
marched thirty-two miles, and at
evening came up with the enemy,
That night we rested on our arms so
as to be fresh for the coming fight.
"All night long we could hear the
noise the Yankees made as they
worked away, throwing up intrench-
ments. Toward day the noise
ceased, and, save for the lonely
tramp of the sentinels, all the
Yankees were asleep, thinking they
were safe.
Just as you could see day begin
ming to break, General Thomas
ordered an assault on the breast
works. He led the charge in person,
for Thomas always stuck to his boys
How we did go al those fellows {!
We found them nearly all asleep,
their guns stacked against the en-
bankment, with huge piles of cart
ridges lying around them. They had
meant to make it hot for us, but We
were too quick.
"That fight was short and hot,
and soon the Fcderals were running
through the woods with our boys
right behind them. | saw that their
general, who commanded the rear or
reserve line, was on foot, holding his
frightened horse by the bride,
vainly trying to rally his men and
reform the line. Another minute
and the horse got away from him
and plunged off through the brush.
81 rushed toward the general and
demanded his surrender, lcvelling
my gun at him.
"Tll surrender to no private he
shouted f; 'I'll die first
"'Two can play at that game,
general said. you'll have to
surrender
F" Bring an officer, them

wanted to get back into it with the
boys. Il haven't time to waste in
talking l yelled. 'Surrcnder!
Gle was only about twenty steps
from me, and raising his sword,
started toward me. I fired, and the
ball cut the tip of the first finger OF
his right hand. His sword dropped
to the ground. l made motion as
if to run him through with my bayo-
net. lie saw that meant business,
for he said, 'I'll surrender
Come, get over behind those

and | followed him, carrying his
sword. We lay there for some little
time, the bullets still whistling above
us. Those are your guns he said,
your men are firing back this way
| told him that the fire came from
his own guns, for our boys had no
such guns.
"Presently he asked: sWhose
command is this ?"
81 told him that it was General
Thomas command, and that we
were all Georgians. 4 might have

up the line, and saw Thomas shell
tered behind the same embankment
that we were, giving orders through
his aides as they came and went.
'Yonder he is. Crawl up the line,

see him now
General | said as soon rs we
had reached him, here is a gentle
man to speak to you lie turned
around.
"'Why, hello, general Then for
the first time / found out that my
prisoner was General Hayes, of Ohio,
and that he and Thomas were old

Hayes with Thomas and get back to
my company, but General Thomas
told me to stay with the prisoner. If
the general said so, that made it all
right. General Thomas wanted
Hayes sword mighty bad, but l
thought ought to keep it and sur
render it with the prisoner. General
Thomas said afterwards that I might
have kept it for myself.
'General,' said Thomas, with a
sly grin, 'these Georglans are pretty
good fighters, aren't they?"
They are damned good fighters,
said Hayes.
"After q while General Thomas
told me to take General Hayes to
the rear by the plank road, to get
him out of the firing line, and wait
for the provost guard. | did go, and

Birthplace Of Our Sailors.

Secretary Long, of the Navy De
partment, has had compiled table
showing the proportion of native
born and foreign born sailors in the
United States navy. This shows
that during the Spanish American
war, out of a total force of 22,828,
the total Of nativc-born sailors was
15,406 and of forcign-bo 1922
The percentage Of native-born sail
ors was G5, and, including foreign
crs who had become Americans by
naturalization, the percentage was
80. The statement also shows that
of the foreign born sailors more than
half have become naturaizcd or have
declared their intention Of becoming
citizens. Tho statement further
shows that the navy is more cxclu-
sively American than is generally
understood.
