A story of great interest to Southerners
Is told IN Raleigh by Col. Il. P. Smith,
Travelling Passenger Agent of the Sea
board Air Line. whose fathers life was
saved by General Albert Gallatin jenkins.
the father of Miss Alberta Gallatin, the
actress who last night won the hearts of
Raleigh theatre goers. Col. Smiths father,
Capt. James H. Smith, was an officer in
the Federal army and is now stationed
IN this city as superintendent of the Fei

On yesterday Miss Gallatin received
calls from the Smith family, and then it
was that the story of such human interest
was told again.
LEFT ON THE FIELD.
To be left on the field wounded. dying
perhaps, was bad enough. but with a be-
lief in recovery and a lingering death in
prison, half fed half cared for, was
worse. At such time few officers would
think of their men, and give the order by
signs to leave him to his fate, rather than
strew the field with his followers. Such
an instance occurred during the Civil
War at cambridge, Tenn. A few troops
of dismounted cavalry, not exceeding 200
men had been stubbornly resisting
charges and flank movements for several
hours. falling back as rapidly as possible
yet determined to save their Chem use
less artillery and ambuances until the
artillery could get into position where the
cavalry (mounted) could render support.
An open field was in their rear, and the
enemy, heavily reinforced, was advanc-
ing to crush them when these dismounted
men charged their position across the
dreaded open field.
Among the last men to cross was Cap
tain James H. Smith of Troop G, Second
Michigan Cavalry. 1t was narrow field,
a high lane fence, barn and corn crib
offered temporary cover on the other side.
Away rushed the 200 knowing well that
a vclley would follow and many of their
number might go down; yet most of-them
escaped with slight wounds. Not so with
their leader. In the middle of the field
Captain Smith fell as though hit by a
hundred bullets. Hastily examining him
self ha found his thigh broken and leg
shattered and useless. His men had
gained shelter and had commenced to
pour a destructive fire upon the advanc-
ing enemy. He could hear his men ask:
who's missing, etc Then q few hasty

to this were sundry and various select

threat being repeated time and again.

When we scarce know what to do.
