CoOLNEsS AND DARING.
Fine Exhibition of Courage when
Lightning Got In Amongst Sher-
mans Ammunition.

"All soldiers" said the captain, in the
Chicago Inter Ocean, talk good deal
about their experience at bloody angles
in storming forts, charging breastworks,
and in breaking through abatis and other
distractions in front of an enemy. This
is natural and creditable, because, as a
rule, the great things of war were done in
the heat of such conflicts. But the finest
exhibition of courage and daring and
cool headedness that came under my no.
tice during the war was not in fight at
bloody angle, nor in the turmoil and
excitement of a charge.
'In May, 1864 our brigade was at
Resaca and had just changed camp from
the north side of the river to the south
side when a furious storm broke upon us.
Our regiment was not far from the rail-
road sheds in which were stored the am
munition for Sherman's Atlanta cam
paign. Boxes of cartridges and shells of
all sizes and kinds, kegs of powder were
piled high in the large shed, and were
closely guarded. We knew that the safety
of that ammunition meant thesuccess of
Shermans campaign, and fell in with all
the strict regulations looking to its
safety.
"On this day as was busy securing
my tent. which had just been pitched,
there was binding flash of lightning
and an appalling crash of thunder. AS
looked out from my tent l saw hundreds
of men moving off in a crouching posi-
ton, with faces dazed and eyes turned
backward toward what all seemed to re-
gard as point of common danger. I
stepped out and saw that the great pile
of ammunition had been struck by light
ming, that the boxes on top had been
thrown helter-skelter, and that the tow
in some of those torn open was burning.
81 knew then why the soldiers of our
fighting brigade were running away, and,
stunned by the thought of what might
happen, awaited stolidly the explosions
that were to destroy Sherman's chances
for success in great campaign, and pos
sibly the lives of myself and all about
me. But there was no explosion. saw
a single man scale the pile of ammuni-
tion, and another come to his assistance.
| saw one of the men snatch the smolder-
ing tow from the box of shells and wave
It as a signal to the flying men that the
danger was over.
ITO my mind the man who climbed up
that pile of explosives and put out the
fire that endangered Sherman's ammuni-

DISOBEYED THE ORDER.
Union Prisoners Were Not Robbed,
but They '.Traded" on Their
Belongings.

Gen. Longstreet used to tell good
many stories to show that the men Of
his command always treated captured
union soldiers with as much consider
alton and kindness as was possible un-
der the circumstances. He said that
his orders on this point We're very
strict, ard he never knew any of his
men to disobey. AS he went on to ex-
plain how proud he was of the record
of his men on this point, listener en-
ployed in one of tho departments at
Washington interrupted him.
Undoubtedly your orders were
strict, general" he said, but | happen
to know that they were evaded. For
example, iE East Tennessee you order
ed your men to respect the belongings
of the prisoners, and this is the way
some of them did it. | wore a good
pair of army shoes, nearly new One
day good-natured fellow in gray with
no shoes to speak of walked along olr
line looking intently at the shoes Of
the captured unionists. He put his
foot by the side of mine, and, remark
ing that / was just his size, added, old
Pete UongstreeD says he will have
every man shot who steals anything
from a prisoner. To save my life,
won't you trade shoes with me? for
/ must have them shoes OF course,
| traded, as did other prisoners"
At this Longstreet spilled, but insist
ed that the story didn't prove anything.

In Galloway county financial matters dur
ing the civil war and at one time in 1862,
contained $4,000 in gold. Conditions
were very unsettled and bands of preda-
tory soldiers and bushwhackers were
prowling over the country in every direc-
ton committing many outrages, as well
as fighting with one another. The Of
ficials of the bank, of which MIR. Curd was
president, got nervous for fear one of
these bands should make a raid on the
town, crack the safe ard take all their
gold. The directors held several con-
sultations and it was at last agreed that
Mr. Curd, Col. w. T. Srell ard Ed Parker
should make a secret disposition of the
treasure. One man suggested that it be
buried in haystack, but this scheme
was rejected.
81 ventured the idea" says Mr., Curd,

where the Adams block is now and the

my suggestion was adopted. wanted to
throw the gold into the well loose, but
the other two thought it best to put 1t
In sacks for fear it would get so scattered
that we would rot find it all.
81 told them that had separated the
gold in its raw state from the dirt in Cali
fornia and felt sure that could find 500
gold pieces in what came out of we'll
here at home. But they had their way and
the $50 900 was divided intoseveral parts
and each part wrapped in sack and tied
securely and put into the well. There it
stayed for about two years and when the
terrorSl of the war had about subsidized and
1t was thought safe to raise the treasure
we tried to bring it up by attaching hooks

coin caused them to break and, after all
the water had to be taken out and loose
coins gathered together again. The secret
regarding where the money was hidden
was not known to anyone but the three
who placed it in the well-not even by
the other directors of the bank. When
the well scheme was first preached it was
said that the bu, hwhackers might in
some way hear of its being there ard
would dip the water out and secure the
booty. but told them that while gang
was dippirgal the water we could surely
get posse enough together to make mat
ters uncomfortable for them"

don and Judy. Judy, In her best dress,
hard-earned and many times washed
white swiss, was serenely happy, and
no good that fell on her from the
weighty Rachel.
Look at Big Ski" whispered one
young wench to another. "Lawd,
wouldn' let losin' uh beau Pat me in de
sulks!"
81 'clah she look lax she mournin'-
mebbe she gwine come tho tonight"
said the other, derisively.
1t proved to be an unusually tu-
multuous meeting. The "mourner's
bench" recently heightened by the ad-
dition of three new benches, filled up.
The air became fervid. High above the
songs of the younger ones could be
heard the happy shouts of the elders;
the invitation hymn was sung again and
again, and while it rolled upward in
melody-unctious, strong-a long
drawn murmur of surprise checked the
voices. Big Six had risen and was maxi
ing her way to the mourner's bench!
greater wave of excitement swept
over the throng; keen-Yoiced negress
changed the song,
"Ol' Satan thought he had me fas',
But has broke his chains-Tm free at
lasl'
AS the congregation took up the re-
frain the saints all over the house shout
ed anew in their joy. Some reeled in
their excitement and fell over the
benches-not few rolled on the floor
in joyful frenzy. and near the door four
men were compelled to hold slim ma
tron to prevent her from overturning
the fireless stove and injuring herself in
her excitement.
Suddenly Rachel flung up her hands,
and her call could be heard above the
loudest shouts of the multitude.
GLORY! Glory! Gimme de glory!
Use convince O. my ongodly deeds.
Gimme de glory now!"
Come on, friends an glib de hand to

and the crowd surged toward the mourn

scious of those who clasped her hands,
but when Judy stood in front of her, she
was apparently seized with another
paroXism of joy.
"Glory!" she shouted, plunging for
ward, Il got de glory now!" With one
hand she struck off Judy's cherished
straw sailor and trampled it under her
feet. With the other, she gave one
mighty jerk, and the white swiss waist
was hanging from Judy's trembling
shoulders.
GLORY! Glory! Use boun' fuh
Glory now!" she calculated, and with
lightning rapidity her fat hand dealt a
binding blow in the face of her unfor-
tunate rival. Then lowering her head,
like a charging bull, Six literally but
ted screaming Judy out of the open side
door and stamped her disheveled body
before the confused negroes realized
what she was doing
Jordon leaped to the rescue, and while
willing hands pulled off Six, he lifted
the limp and helpless Judy, whose torn
dress was dyed with the crimson tide
that crept from her maltreated nose.
The meeting broke up in confusion.
Those who rejoiced most over the ap-
parent conversion of Blk Six were
loudest in condemnation of her method
of announcing it.
Don b'lieve dat mig ubbah thought
O. bein' converted-she jes' hypocrited
to git chanst to hurt Judy!"
This was the universal verdict loudly
proclaimed.
Next day Jordon sat by Judy's bed
side, his face map of contrition and
anxiety.
EFF you'll jes' say you kin fuhgive me
fuh cotein' dat wicked creetuh, Judy"
he whispered "Tll nubbah ask nothin'
else O. you whilst llve!"
Judy looked at him with a little gasp
of apprehension.
81 sho' thought you'd ask me marry
you now, Jordon!" she said, with a
sob in her voice.
"Oh, Judy, darlin', I nubbuh thought
I'd dast!" cried Jordon, bending over her
with face full of surprise and delight.
"Kin you mex up yoah ming to marry
me ahftuh all whut's happent?"
And Judy answered, happily: "I sho
kin!"
