here our readers might be willing to
change off from agriculture to war for a
little while, especially SO when so many
of our readers will recall the trip to and
from Gettysburg. Remember that 1t is

the valley that DIVORCES from the Cum
berland valley a Mechanicsbnrg, and the
enc in which Gettysburg Is located is also
a great valley for wheat. | have long
wanted to visit this section. There Is an
cid gentleman living over on the South
Highlands In Birmingham q am sorry
can't recall his name) who was a captain
In the Confederate army, and on several
occasions he talked to me about his ex-
periences at Gettysburg and the great ar

Field of Gettysburg.
Now | want to say here that l am sorry
that | have not time or space to write the
half 1 wish to of this great battlefield.
But there were so many Alabama banner
troops in this battle that some of them
may see and be interested in what /
may say. The clouds of war have long
since passed away, and nature and time,
the great healers, are doing all they can
to cover over the wounds Nature has
spread her green mantle over all the
field, and time has healed the sears on
most of the trees. Bullet marks are
searcer and scarcer each year. The birds
no longer fear the cannon but come and
build their nests In them. The dove with
the olive branch of peace comes too and
builds her nest and raises her young. The
shield has been beaten into q plow~ share
and the sword turned to sickle TO har-
vest the golden grain. Here the old sol
diers of the blue and gray travel together
again over this field and talk Of the days
of the past. They stop once more and
again they drink Of the cool waters from
the historic spring at the foot Of Culp
Hill. for here during the battle nearly
forty-two years ago, the blue and gray
met at this spring for water and 1t was
the understanding that both sides should
Use water from this spring unmolested.

tablets near this spring, which was CHS

on this field on one of the days Of tie
battle.
A young Union soldier met a Confeder-
ate with one arm shot away, and the
remnant i'm a swing. The Union soldier
had eanteen of water fresh from this
spring; with his right hand he grasps
the well hand of the old Confederate and
with his left holds the canteen to his
mouth until his thirst is satisfied If any
of our readers ever visit here be sure to
go and see this picture. Any guide will
point it out to you.
There are many other pathetic scenes
The war is thing of the past. its his
tory is written and we cannot change 1t
If we wanted to. Standing upon this field
today, however, some things seem to us
strange, and we are reminded of the say
ing: THE sadest thoughts of word or
pen are these: 1t might have BEEN" Again
we are led to think on how small a mat
ter some times hangs the destiny of a
country If only some things which it
seems now might have happened had
taken place here, the history of our coun-
try today would read differently. Now
even the Union officers, as well as pri-
Yates, whom stalked to here all agree
that If Lee had pushed up his victory of
the first day instead of allowing his army
to stop in the village In the late evening
he WOulu nave COiupelitu tue Union army
to surrender Fortune knocks once at the
door of everyone but If turned away the
opportunity is lost
Story of First Day.
The story as related to me by those who
were living here at the time is that the
Confederate army stopped at o'clock
D. IN. on the first day of the battle. and
this gave the Union forces time to rally
and entrench themselves, and to hurry
fresh troops upon the field. The chance
for victory was thus forever Lost. 1t is
also stated now that the Confederate
army was nearly out Of ammunition, and
that II the Union army had only followed
up the victory and forced the Confeder-
ates to fight few hours longer the sup
ply would have been used up, and Lee
would have been compelled to surrender
But of course these are all speculations;
we do not know or dare not say what
might have been We only know what did
happen.
I visited the many places OF interest--the
Devils Den. the little ravine where the
boys from Alabama went up on their way
to Little Round Top, but could only reach
the foot of the hill, for, as one Of these

old Alabama veterans said, Here on the
field We intended to go on up to the top
of the hill, but there were some stub
born Yankees up there that would not
let us come up"
Then there is the wheat field and the
peach orchard and, strangest of all, Is
the position which Sekles occupied. lie

the ground covered by Pickett in his

quite plain to me. ] wanted to see that
old rock wall, the little clump of trees
tnow fenced in with iron railing which
was the mark for his center and where
now a monument stands with the nscrip-
ton: '"fhe High Water Mark of the Con-
federacy." II is stated that Pickett went

Fate of Jennie Wade.
But like all battles there were sad
scenes and the killing Of Jennie Wade
was a tragic affair a beautiful young
lady was In the kitchen baking bread
when bullet came crashing through and
snuned her life out. A monument has
been erected to her memory, she being the
only non-combatant killed. She was en-
gagged TO be married, and her lover a
soldier in the Union army, was killed the
day before

In Memory of Lamb.

l.. M. Speers of Newberry has been
awarded the contract for erecting a
monument in the cemetery at Laurens
to VIM. Il. Lamb, the color-bearer of
the Third South Carolina Regiment in
the Civil War. The monument is to be
a marble shaft eight feet ten inches on
a suitable pedestal. On the monument
will be an engraving of the Confeder-
ate battlehag and the following in
scription, Sergeant w. b. Lamb,
Color Bearer of the Third South Caro-
lima Regiment. Born Feb. a, 1929.
Died May 10, 1904. Erected by the j..

nous words to Gen. Kershaw at the
battle of Chickamauga will also be in
scribed on the monument-"Just tell
me where to go and I'll go here" =
The occasion of these words was the
following: While the regiment was adj

noise of battle the command was not
heard. Then the general rushed for
ward and took hold of the flagstaff to
turn the line toward the left. Ser
geant Lamb grasped the staff and said,
"No, Stree. Just tell me where to go
and I'll go there; but no man gets this
flag as long as | am able to carry it,"

Some Questions.

The discussions in the Board of Di-
rectors of the Equitable Life Assur-
nce Society, it is said, have been set
tied.
While the quarrel was in progress it
was disclosed that many thousands of
dollars of the Company's money were
spent for dinners. This is not denied.
Meanwhile, although there are evil
dences of ~eXtravagant and even profit
gate management, no one doubts the
solvency of the company. The policy
holders are perfectly safe. The com
pany has enormous assets.
If the management of the Company
has been extravaganza, has it not never
theless sold insurance at as low prices
as other companies?
If it has SO sold insurance, could not
the Company have sold insurance lower
than other great companies, with econ
omical management?
If other great companies have sold
insurance at prices as high as the
Equitable and their management has
been sound and economical, why have
not their prices been lower? In the
cases of mutual companies, why have
not the policy holders received larger
dividends? AS a matter of fact has
Equitable insurance cost more han that
of most other companies? We think not.
If, then, extravaganza in the Equita-
BILE has been a fact how are the policy
holders of other companies to be con
soled, knowing that they could have
done just as well in the Equitable?
How are policy holders in cold line"
companies generally to escape the con-
clusion that they are paying extrava-
gantly for insurance?
Can those of us who cannot afford
500. the plate dinners at Sherry's af-
ford Delimonico insurance?
We have never had great faith in
fraternal order insurance but we are
being submerged with explanations of
how their low rates arc possible.
What are we and you going to do
about it?

BY Way of a Suggestion.

A great deal is being said and writ
ten these days about the "City Beauti-
full" THE ADVERTISER has been asked
to suggest that something be done be-
fore the 10th of May to beautify and
render less unkempt in appearance the
Getty OF the Dead"
This could easily be accomplished by
private parties who have plots in the
City Cemetery, having their own
squares weeded out and put in order.
If a general response is made to this
suggestion the cemetery will wear a
greatly improved appearance.
Far be it from any one not an eX-

ABOUT

There are few diseases that infict
more torture than rheumatism and there
is probably no disease for which such a
varied and useless lot of remedies have
been suggested. To say hat it can be
cured, is, therefore, a bold statement
to make, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
which enjoys an extensive sale, has
met with great success in the treat
ment of this disease. One application
hundreds of sufferers have testified to
permanent cures by it's use. Why suf-
fer when Pain Palm affords such quick
