Through the courtesy of Col
onel Robert l.. Rodgers, histori-
an of the Fulton County Confed-
crate Veterans Association, the
Constitution has been placed in
possession of story of the bat
tie of Franklin, written by Col
onel Robert Gates. The article,
which was in possession of Col
onel Wallace j. Barnard, of Ma
~rietta, is well worthy of perusal.
THE WORK OF CHEATHAM'S MEN.
Colonel Gates, after giving a
history of the many engage
ments the division participated,
during the four years service,
goes direct to the great and un-
precedented battle of Franklin,
where Cheatham's old division
of Tennessee sealed with blood
and stamped with glory forever,
its record of steadily, dashing,
heroic courage.
The battle of Franklin was
fought November 80, 1864. The
federals, under Gen. Schofield,
occupied a strong natural posi-
tion, which they made stronger
by first class earthworks. The
approaches were through open
fields from a mile to mile and a
half in width. In front of the
position assaulted by Cheatham's s
cid division, groves of locust
Wees had been cut down, behind
which the first line of federals
received the assault, General
Cheatham was commanding the
corps, and Gen. John G. Brown,
the old division,
The division moved to the as
sault with it's left on the Colum-
b;a pike. Moving parallel, with
it's right on the Franklin pike,
was Cleburne's division. There
had long been a generous rivalry
between those two superb COM
mands. Owing to it's splendid
achievements at Ringgold, Gle
burne's division "held the edge
on the famous Tennesseeans.
Hence again at Franklin, as on
the 22nd of July before Atlanta,
these two divisions raced for first
prs. In splendid style, then
6&eers gallantly urging them
on, the crack divisions of the
western army moved through
shot and shell to the desperate
work before them. 1t was g
splendid sight. The entire fielC
was in full view, over which the
eighteen brigades of Hood army
moved to the assault. From thu

Mr. Edltor: AS your paper has
from time to time, for several
years, been giving "reminiscences
OF the civil war from various
writers, | wish to add a few
recollections to show what kind
of men Union county had in that
great conflict and how faithfully
they discharged their duties.
In talking lately with my old
comrade H. S. Porter, of Kelton.
who was a member of McKis-
sick's cavalry, he refreshed NV
memory with some incidents
which may be of interes1 even as
In the winter of 1862 and '63
the Holcombe Legion cavalry (of
which our company was a part)
had to guard long line of de-
fences reaching from York to
James river through New Keub
and Charles City counties. Ours
was the only cavalry in that part
of the field except a detachment
of Robinson's battalion which
belonged to the Legion and was
then part of our bri sade. This
command was made up of rem
nant of Wheat's old battalion
and other light duty men who
had been discharged from the
infantry service and mounted.
They were a rough set of fellows
not much men-for many of
them deserted. 1t was the or
ders from headquarters not to
put any of them on guard unless
a number of the Holcombe Legion
were on duty too at the same
point. The line ran from the
confluence of the Pawunky and
Mattaphone rivers where they
form the York river to the
mouth of Chickahominy where
it empties into the James river.
Thus it remained throughout that
winter except as it was advanced
or drawn in as emergencies de-
manded.
The citizens, especially the
ladies, of that country through
which our line of defences rar
were Confederate to the core
and would do everything they
could for the Confederate cause
and Confederate soldiers. Thu:
duty on the lines became a de-
light to the soldiers, even though
they were in danger of beinf
shot down by federal scouts al
any time. AS time advanced
and the citizens and soldiers be
came more and more acquainted
a stronger attachment for eacl
other became more and NOR,

Strange Story of One That Blossoms

the quiet little episcopal city of Wells
rises a lofty peak, called by the Celtic
natives a tor" 1t is conspicuous for
miles around, with the tower of an an
cient chapel on its top and with a neat
little country town and the ruins of a
noble old abbey.
Sufficient evidence remains to show that
the abbey was of vast proportions, oc-
cupying In all sixty acres of ground. 1t
was founded by Saxon kings and further
endowed by the Normans und Plan
tagenets. The grand chancel and it's fine
chapels We're built in the finest style Of
later Norman architecture, but now little
more than cru1nbling walls and pillars
testify to the once great beauty Of the
abbey.
The porch of st. Joseph's chapel. how
ever, is in a fair state of preservation.
Outside there grows the famous Glaston-
bury thorn that blossoms but for one day
in the year, and that Christmas day. This
tree hasa strange history.
During his long journey from Palestine
st. Joseph of Arimathea visited the dis
trict, he and his twelve companions hay-
ing been sent by ST. Philip, the apostle.
to convert the then heather nation of
Britain and to cast out the Druid super-
stition.
ST. Joseph and his followers found their
way to Glastonbury, then known as
"1hiswytry." They were all a-wearv
and, arriving on the summit or tha li;,
Joseph, who was using a hawthorn stick
as a walking staff, stuck it into the
ground. and It burst into bloom The
present Glastonbury thorn is an offsboot
by continued grating of ST. Josenb of
Arimathea's walking staff.

COMMUNICATION FROM
Red CROSS PHARMAcY.
Offer to Refund Money If Hyomei Does Not
Cure c1tdrrh.

Offer TO Refund Money If Hyomei Does Not
Cure cdtdrrh.
To the editor of The Commercials
We have been asked recently if the
advertisements printed IN your col
umns regarding Hyomei were true,
where we offer to refund the money if
this treatment does not cure catarrh.
We wish you would please print this
letter in as conspicuous a place as pos
sible in your paper, saying that we abb
solutely agree to refund the money to
any purchaser of a Hyomei outfit If it
does not cure catarrh.
This outfit consists of an inhaler of
a convenient size to be carried in the
vest pocket so that the user can
breathe Hyomei four or five times
daily. With this is included medi-
cine dropper and bottle of Hyomei.
The outfit sells for 100 and is most
economical treatment, for the inhaler
lasts lifetime and there is enough
Hyomei for several weeks use, while
extra bottles can be obtained for SO
cents.
We trust this letter will settle any
doubts that may have arisen as to our
willingness to refund the money for
Hyomei outfit, in case the purchaser
is not perfectly satisfied.
We wish to say emphatically that
our guarantee on Hyomei holds good,
and we will refund the money to any
dissatisfied purchaser who simply
states that he has used the treatment
according to directions and not been
helped. Respt. yours.
