bodies Of the drowned soldiers and the
sunken vessels. Bowling, In q dugout
(this is followed log or a canoe, as
1t Is variously called,) padded himself
out to receive the surrender OF this
transport with thousand men. The
commander Of the vessel expressed his
surprise at such reception OF his
white-fiag token, and asked why the
commander of the fort didn't come In
person to receive his surrender. Dowl-
Ing replied, II am the commander and
have come in person." to which the
captain said: well, what do you
mean by coming this way, in a canoe
by Yourself" Bowling answered: Il
have no other way Of getting here, and
hence I came in my dugout." He re-
ceived the surrender, paroled the pri-
soners, for he could not take them In
charge, and went back to his comrades.
OF these forty, only one had received a
wound at all, though the gunboats had
shelled the little mud earthwork dill
gently.
In the history of the world nothing
similar, unless 1t be the battle Of New
Orleans, has ever happened, and yet,
such is the large carelessness OF the
southern character in recording Its
wonderful and numerous deeds OF
heroism, that but little notice has ever
been taken Of this extraordinary bat

1t gives THE ENQUIRER pleasure to
introduce to its readers an honored
citizen, who though he has passed the
eighty year limit and has lived in York
for the greater part Of his life, is per-
sonally known to comparatively few
men in the present generation. This
citizen is Mr.. William Andrew Carson.
Mr.. Carson was born on Sandy river,
two miles north Of Chester, on August
q, 1917. His grandfather, William
Carson, came to this country from
ireland, and did service in the war OF
the Revolution as a Patriot. He
fought the British in many battles,
including the battle Of Briar Creek, In
Georgia, and the battle Of Brattonsville
in which the bloody tory Houck was
defeated and killed.
Mr.. William Andrew Carson, the
subject Of this sketch was brought
by his father to York county when
he was about one year old. The
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1903-06-10

family settled on Fishing creek and
lived there for many years, acquiring
a nice landed property and establish
ing itself in comfort. Mr.. Carson still
owns certain lands that were owned
by his father.
Owing to the almost complete crop
failure of 1S45, Mr.. Carson moved to
Mississippi, then a comparative Will
derness, which was being rapidly open
ed up by new blood from all parts OF
the country. He remained In Missis-
sippi during six years and was getting
along very nicely until he contracted
what was then known as the "Asiatic
eye disease" The disease was quite
common in the section in which he
lived, and hundreds Of people lost their
eyes on account Of it. A physician ad-
vised him that his only hope Of saw
ing h.s,-eyes was to return to South
Carolina and he did so.
Mr.. Carson was not married until
1865, when he chose as his life partner
Miss Mary S. McElhaney. Ten chill
dren were born as the result Of this
marriage, and Of these only six are
now living. They are Messrs. Samuel
L., James M. and John F. Carson; Mrs
Harriet Isabella Cain, Mrs. Ida Car
son, and Miss Laura Carson.
Mr.. Carson went to the war as
member of the South Carolina re.
serves; but on reaching Charleston was
discharged for disability. He has al.
ways been a steady, patient worker
frugal and temperate in his habits
and has enjoyed good health. His
home is in the Delphos neighborhood
about five miles south of Yorkville.

THE BATTLE OF FORT BOWLING.
An Achievement Of tho Civil War OF
Which Little Has been Written.

An Achievement Of tho Civil War OF
Which Little Has been Written.
Where the Gulf Of Mexico comes In
to the Sabine Lake, on the coast OF
Texas, near the Louisiana line, there
is a narrow channel Of water which Is
about four hundred yards wide. On
the north bank of this little channel
today one sees the smokestack, a few
feet above the water, of sunken boat.
Just opposite to it, on the southern
bank. there Is a dirt wall, square In
its shape, and about ten feet high, and
over this a painted sign that reads
Fort Dowling." That Is all that now
lives as evidence Of a thrilling drama,
the equal of which the world has new
er seen, and that was played out at
this place back yonder in the closing
days Of our civil war.
Gen. Banks with plenty of men and
boats and plenty Of ammunition ano
supplies had gone up the Red river In
to Louisiana and was hammering klr-
by Smith and Dick Taylor into de-
struction. The Federal government
conceived the idea that Smith and
TAYLOR might be attacked in the rear
by an expedition landed on the shores
of Sabine Lake, and consisting OF
some ten thousand, men, who would be
transported to their landing by part
of the Federal fleet. To reach the
banks Of the lake. Of course, 1t was
necessary to 60 through Sabine Pass
this narrow channel Of which
have spoken. Richard Bowling, IN
command of about forty men, was
acting as a scout for Smith and ray
lor. and saw the evidence Of the COM
ing of this fleet Of gunboats and trans
ports and with his forty men, took pos
session of a little mud fort at the
mouth of the pass, in which there were
three or four six-pounders and per-
haps a siege gun. There he waited
with guns loaded and instructions CIV
en- to his men that they must not fire
until the gunboats came "ell abreast
of him, only about 300 yards away
His plan Of action was not to shoot
until they were Immediately opposite
and then to discharge his whole battery
at the gunboat. This was done sue
cessfully; her boilers were exploaed
and together with hundreds Of soldiers
she sank to the spot where she now
rests. Many died from the steam that
scalded them, more from the water
that engulfed them.
| Loading his guns, he sank the next
vessel with the same disastrous result,
to the enemy, and, loading, yet again
he turned his guns on the transpor.

She allowed her hand to lie Imply In

chair. When her hand was near his

Slowly he raised his eyes to study her
face. finding that hers were closed, the
semblance of a smile touching her lips

madness of love rushed into his heart;
the expectant hand was forgotten; his

"Graustark welcomes the American
prince"
He sank to his knee before the real
princess, kissed the hem Of her robe
and arose with face pallid. The chasm
was now endless in its immensity. The
princess gingerly seated herself on the
throne, placed her elbow on the broad
arm, her white chin In her hand, and
TRANQUILITY surveyed the voiceless Amer
lean prince.
"You have not said Thank you,' "
she said finally, her eyes wavering be-
meath his steady gaze.
II am only thinking how easy 1t
would be to cross the gulf that lies be-
tween us. With two movements Of my
body 1 can place it before you, with a
third l can be sitting at your side. 1t
is not so difficult after ALL" he said,
hungrily eying the broad chair.

upon this throne" she said.
"You have called me prince"
"Oh. jested," she cried quickly, COM

you!"
Her command came too late. for he
was beside her on the throne Of Grau-
stark! She sat perfectly rigid for q
moment, intense fear in her eyes.
do you know what you have done?'
she whispered miserably.
"Usurped the throne" he replied, as
suming an ease and complacence he did
not feel. Truly he was guilty Of un-
precedented presumption.
"You have Observation-Disclosures!
Do you hear" she went on, paying no
attention to his remark.
"Peccavi. Ah, your highness, / de-
light In my sin! For once am a pow

will not have me abdicate in the zenith
of my glory? Be kind. most gracious

you? Had he been the possessor Of q

found himself so weak that he could

BILE meaning.
"Why should you wound me? she
asked plaintively. You have no right
to treat the throne occupy as SUBJ
ject for pranks and indig.lities. l did
not believe you could be so-forgetful."
There was a proud and pitiful resent
ment in her voice that brought him to
his senses at once. He had defiled her
throne. In shame and humiliation he
cried:
Il am a fool, an migrate! You have
been too gentle with me. For this
despicable act of mine l cannot ask
pardon, and it would be beneath you to
grant it. l have hurt you. and l can
never atone. forgot how sacred Is
your throne. Let me depart in dis

the throne he had stained, but she,
swayed by a complete reversal Of feel
ing, timidly. pleadingly touched his
arm.
"Stay! 1t is my throne, after all. l
shall divide It. as well as the sin, with
you. Sit down again, beg Of you.

Laredo Times:
A half dozen years ago cotton
growing along the Texas Mexican
road was a thing unknown. Grad

this year an enormous crop has
been raised. While other sections
of the State have been infested with
the boil weevil, this pest unknown
In Nueces and adjoining counties.
Undreamed of possibilities are
before this section and, while now
and then we get a black eye from

to despond over the future pros
poets of South Texas. Each recur-
ring season brings the regular rain
belt that much nearer and in time
we can bank as solidIy upon good

pitch his camp with US for land is
cheap and rich and few more of
