CHARLIE BANKS AT FORT SUMTER
A Heroic Wilmington Boy Outdid
Sergeant Jasper's Deed of Hero
ism-Thrice He Replaced the Con-
federate COIOrs on a Flag Staff in
the Face of Flying Shells.

In the early midsummer days of 81.
Charlie Banks enlisted in a battalion
of South Carolina artillery. Recruiting
officers visited various sections of North
Carolina for volunteers in the confed-
crate service.
Charlie Banks a Wilmington boy, a
native with numerous relatives. fond of
excitement and adventure, full of patri-
otism, reported for duty at Charleston,
S. c.. The battalion was ordered into
camp on James island. to assist in de-
fence of the historic old city.
After the fall of Sumter and while
IN the possession of confederate forces.
the battalion was ordered to the fort to
defend it or die.
Calamity the boys responded. In the
hourly, daily. constant hail of balls and
shells, hurled so necessarily with d.
structive effect, Sumter" bravely re-
sisted every attempt of assault, recap
ture or demolition. Gun after gun dis
abled and fire raging within it's enclo-
sure presented q fearful issue in the
contest.
In the many engagements. o o the
flag staff fall5-the proud. defiant
STARS and Bars ceased to 1utter in
the breeze. Volunteers were called to
replace it. Charlie Banks responded
n CALAMITY mounted the staff nailed
the flag to the masthead, only to have
it shot down and lowers ed again by the
continuous torrent of shell.
The conspicuous ensign was a target
for the malignity and hatred of the fed
eral fleet and the brave volunteer
climbed again the staff replaced the
flag to bid defiance to the hated enemy
Thrice in the day the same deed was
heroically accomplished, commanding
admiration of he enemy and cheers OF
his noble comrades.
The admiral of the federal fleet, see
ing the heroic action of this boy, order
ed the fleet TO cease firing when the
third ascent o. the flag staff was made,
| remarking that such heroism should be
respected.
Such heroic deeds should not be per-
rnitted to ass INTO obscurity or to be
forgotten but heralded as an example
of the chivalry, pluck and sacrifices Of
the confederate soldiers
