RICHMOND, Va. Nov. 21.-The state
ment by New York paper that Collier,
the colOred guide to President Roose-
welt in his Mis- sissippi bear hunt. was
the only one OF his race that ever en-
listed in the Southern army is a mis-
take.
This announcement, as well as the
claim that Collier served in a Missis-
sippi regiment. will call forth much
criticism from Southern war veterans.
Just before the close OF the war the
Confederate Congress, at the suggestion
Of the ablest leaders in the Southern
army. authorized the enlistment Of ne
gro soldiers.
A company OF colored men was raised
In this city and for a time drilled on the
