In Saturday evenings Journal there APP
peared an interesting review of blue
Grass and Rhododendron," a new book
written by John Fox. Jr.. and published
by Charles Scribner' Sons.
Judging. from the extracts given, this
book Is written in a pleasing and force
full style. but some of its statements are
not to be passed over as mere differences
of opinion from other southern born au-
thors, because they are perversions Of his
tory. II is true that the mountaineers Of
West Virginia, North Carolina, Tennes-
see and Kentucky were thorn in the side
of the Southern Confederacy. But ii is not
necessary for their admirers to magnify
the achievements of these people at the
expense of the truth. Captain Robert Gar
nett, a native of Virginia and graduate
of West Point, soon after the secession of
his state was commissioned as brigadier
general and sent beyond the Blue Ridge
and the Alleghanies into West Virginia.
The mountaineers for the most part did
not like the cause which he and HIS army
represented, but they were not very ac-
tive in his presence. The soldiers of the
First regiment of Georgia volunteers (Col-
cnel James Ramsey one company of
which consisted of brave mountaineers
from Lumpkin county, served under gen
eral Garnett. No West Virginia loyalist
opposed their march over mountain roads,
which in many places offered tempting
opportunities for ambuscade. and the loft
erers on the march who were physically
unable to keep pace with stronger COM
rades, and often got into camp late in the
night, suffered no inconvenience from
lurking marksmen.
Garnett's defeat was caused. not by the
active work of these mountaineers. but
by an army of four times his own num-
pers raised chiefly in the states formed

was enough. Criticise as you may, the
people think all mistakes wiped out when
a splendid victory is won. And the peo-
pie are right.
When president Mckinley was on a
visit of inspection TO one of the army
camps, in order to test the discipline of
the troops enlisted for Cuba'and the Phil
lppines he approached sentinel with
out giving the pass word.
you can't pass here. sir. without the
countersign," was the prompt words OF
the recruit.
But you don't know who 1 am, my
man; am President Mckinney"
II don't care IL you were as big a man
as old Dewey himself, sir. you can't pass
here"
And the president was pleased. Of
course. Now that soldier tells the size Of
Dewey and Schley in the eyes Of the peo-
pie.
When a man leads a fight as Schley
led It at Santiago. when he does the
work the country wants done. and does
IL grandly as Schley did it; woe to Samp-
son, Long Maclay. ct id omne genus, who
ignore slight or attempt to belittle him.

captain can, becomes his captains cap

The people say: IF schley did not COM

whe d.
Schley fought and won. Too late nov
to talk about coaling. loops and retrograde
movement. The people will forever say.

from. the old Northwest territory, the gift
OF Virginia to the union. s~
Garnett was killed in a battle fought
by his Virginians and Georgians against
men from Ohio and Indiana and some reg
ularly enlisted men from West Virginia.
and this battle was fought at Carrick s
ford. near the town of st. George, more
than 100 miles to Tie west OF Harper 5
Ferry.
The defeated army was not harrassed
by the mountaineers with Squirrel rifles,
but after their battle at St.tGeorge even
the victors ceased their pursuit, and other
regular volunteer soldiers Of the union.
who were expected to stop their progress
and compel their surrender, kept safely
at a. distance and gave the Confederates
an unobstructed road to a safe rallying
point at Monterey. From this place, after
being reinforced, they again marched
across the Alleghenies. and for months
served in the land Of these mountaineers,
without any soldier of our brigade, at
least, being killed. or even shot at from
ambush by any of the squirrel rife people.
The vast majority of mountaineers Of
our state rallied around the banner OF
southern rights and bravely battled under
the starry cross.
AS TO the neglect of the mountain dwell
lers of Georgia. 1 have this to say: Public
and private schools are numerous and
taught by faithful teachers. and there is
hardly a corner so remote that IL has not
been penetrated by the Jealous preachers
Of the Methodists and Baptists. whose ar
mics of church workers under able lead
ers are ever on the advance in domestic
and in foreign fields, spending also much
more of their time and money on the
harvest ready for the sickle at our. own
doors than on that in alb the heather
lands of the earth.

The Passing of
Stoneman S Rad

have been an interested reader of all
that has been written by the old soldiers
in The Journal, and have been very anx-
ious TO see something written on the pass
ing of Stoneman's raid. / was boy at
that time, but there is nothing in the dim
and misty past that has been more clear
ly stamped on my memory. Stoneman's
raid came down on the west side of the
Ocmulgee river and crossed at several fer
ries in the lower portion of Jasper coun-
~ in November, 1864 For three days and
nights they were passing and using every
means in their power to destroy the coun-
try, and we'll did they succeed, but 1t is
the amusing incidents / wish to refer TO
in this sketch of their passing. My moth
er was churning when the first one came
in the house. He asked her for some
milk. Thinking she would get something
TO pour II out in that he might drink 1t
and go his way, she turned around, when
he turned the churn up to his mouth and
was drinking TO his satisfaction, when
another turned the churn over his head:
four gallons of milk and all.
My father was a dear lover of game
chickens and had just got him pair OF
fine Baltimore reds. He watched them in
the destruction of his property without
saying a word, but when ne saw them
kill his chickens his anger knew no
bounds, and he cursed them to all he could
think of. Instead of killing him. as we
thought they would do. they pointed their
fingers at him and laughed at him. We
had a pair of large hounds, one of which
was very fond Of them and delighted in
running chickens and hogs for them;
the other one never ceased trying to bite
them, and succeeded in nearly tearing the
calf Of a leg off of one of them. With
his other foot he gave the dog a kick,
saying, THAT d. dog don't like Yanks."
My mother held her tongue as prudent
sensible woman should. knowing II would
do no good, until she saw one take
fine Counterpart from a bed and convert
It into a saddle blanket. She told him no
man of a good principle would do the
like, in time of war or peace. WELL"
said he, 'Ht does look hard, but Morgan
is doing our people in Ohio worse
than this, and we can't catch him either"
One day so or more came to our house
with their noses and eyes swollen out of
shape, some could scarcely see their way.
The next day we learned they had tried
to rob some bee gums of a widow woman
near our house. Wars are dangerous.

SURRENDERED
To Hot Biscuits and Warm Pies.


Bombarding the stomach with hot bis
cults and warm pie. plenty of butter,
bacon, greasy potatoes, and a few other
choice delicacies wlil finally cause the for
tifcations to give way. Then how to
build back on good food is worth know
ing.
A man in Factoryville, Pa. attacked
his stomach in about this way and says:
THE sign of surrender was plain in my
white colorless face. At that time every
article of food distressed me, and heart
burn kept me in continued misery. I
liked all sorts of breakfast foods but they
did not agree with me. OF course, much
of the food that / ate contained nourish-
ment but my stomach could not get the
nourishment out. tried pepsin and other
aids to digestion which worked for "a
time and then gave out.
Finally reasoned, when in an extrem-
ity, that If the stomach could not digest
the food why not take some food that was
started in on Grape-Nuts and the new
food won my taste straight away and
agreed with me beautifully.
THE heavy, expressing feeling disap-
peared and / became thoroughly impress
ed with the new food and began to i'm
prove at once. Little by little my strength
came back and slowly and surely | gain
ed my lost weight. The wasted tissues
and muscles built up, and today 1 am
well. bouyant and strong.
Il unreservedly give the chief credit to
Grape-Nuts which met me in crisis and
brought me over the dark period of de-
spondency. Nothing else did II for moth
ing else could be endured.

DR.. CURRY HoNoRED
BY QUEEN OF SPAIN.

DR.. j. L. M. Curry. prominent in south
fern educational circles, has recently been
given a very distinguished honor by the
queen regent of Spain. Dr. Curry is we'll
known in Georgia, and has many friends
in Atlanta who will be delighted to learn
Of this very high mark of appreciation
which has been paid him by the Spanish
sovereign. The Washington Post tells the
story as follows: s
Hon. j. L. NJ Curry, of this city, who
is too widely and too honorably known
to require an Introduction to the country
at this time, has just received new dis
tinction. On Friday he was informed by
the secretary OF state-and 1t is easy to
imagine the felicitous terms in which the
Information was conyeyed--that the pres
ident wished him toIg to Madrid as his
representative on the OCCASION of the
young kings coming of age
"Dr. Curry has every right to regard
this as a special honor.3The appointment
is strictly personal, since he and the pres
ident are notsin political accord, and one
may safely assume, therefore, that 1t has
been inspired by DR.. Curry's successful
service as nited States minister TO
Spain during the Cleveland administra-
tion-'s5-'S9 It is we'll known that DIR. Cur
rvs relations with .ne Spanish court were
at all times most cordial and that both
he and Mrs. Curry were admitted to an
intimacy very rarely accorded TO for
e1gnerS not OF rOyal DlOOu AS MATER
of fact those relations have been kept
alive ever since and persona gratissima
is the term that will most compactly and
faithfully describe Dr. Curry's standing
In Madrid today The arrangement
moreover Is peculiarly happy from an
other If a more sentimental point of view,
for what American could so appropri-
ately represent the United States at the
celebration of the young kings majority
as DR.. Curry, who was present when the
king made his advent into this world?
This appointment will give general sat
isfaction throughout the country. 1t not
only constitutes a reward Of faithful and
eficient public service. it answers all the
logical and sentimental requirements of
the situation. Dr. and Mrs Curry will re-
ceive in Madrid at the hands of the royal
family more intimate and cordial well
come than any other Americans could
hone to command. They Will. at the same
time. represent their country With grace
and tact and dignity"

HOW COMPANY r
GOT ITS FRESH MEAT

Apropos of Comrade Waite's story of
the hog in last Saturdays Journal l am
reminded OF another hog story. After the
Stony Creek raid in early 1865, the Eighth
Confederate cavalry, Col. Joel X. Grimm,
commanding. was encamped then, one OF
the seven Georgia companies IN that reg
iment was Company. F, composed OF men
and boys. from Washington, jefferson,
Burke and Richmond and probably some
other counties. There had been severe
freeze and being near the creek, Jim
Fountain decided we would take a tur-
key hunt. The boys were allowed to pass
the lines to get straw for bedding, so we
gathered our tent fly and Informed the
officers that we were going to get US
some straw. Taking along our guns we
were soon in the swamp, honestly hoping
to find drove of wild turkeys, but un-
fortunately after tramping nearly all day,
not a turkey could we see. Rather I'M
eXpectedly we ran upon a couple or nVe
or six months old unmarked pigs that
the Yankees had either failed to see or
were too much hurried to take along with
them. We held council of war and de-
bated the question. We wanted some of
that meat and we did not know exactly
what to do. We knew we could not pass
off shoat for turkey. We knew we could
not revel in fresh meat and the officers
not find 1t out.
We argued mat the noBs were Win dc
they were not marked.
we further thought that the Yankees
might come back that way and get the
hogs. and why should we not have some
of that meat? So after considering the
matter we decided that we should have
some of that meat. 1t was arranged that
/ should accidently discharge my gun,
kill the pig and Jim was to skin 1t. place
Il in a bundle OF straw and carry IL to
camp. He was also to cook 1t. and was
to manage the officers. So next day. Jim
had the shoat cooked to a turn, for he
was fine cook. 1t was ready just about
the time the captain sat down to his
camp fare. I took a nice ham, immedi-
ately to the officers tent and without ex-
PLANTATION asked II they would like to have
a little fresh meat. AS they were then
eating they asked no questions and
slipped out. After dinner Captain Jones
came out. picking his teeth and feeling
