There are many false accusations against
Captain Wirz. Northern histries do him
grave injustice, and like many mythical and
malicious statements in other things, those
histories will never teach the Northern people
the truth, but keep falsehood running down
the line for ages to come.
AS to Captain Wirz, can say from per-
sonal knowledge Of and close association with
linn, that he was kind, tender-hearted man.
Yet, as a soldier, he made all things sub
servient to duty. He had to appear severe to
the thousands Of prisoners; it was in itself
help, a power, in the control and keeping Of
them.
Three small regiments of boys and old men
with inferior guns to hold twenty-three thou
sand enemies We read and hear much of
"tho horrors of Andersonville." Let's put
the blame where it belongs We all thought
it horrid as it came to us then. I was d.
rectly under Wirz, stockade sergeant, call
ing roll daily Of 1920 men, and did not know
twenty Of them. We all felt that it was tough
times. AS for myself, [ ate my twenty-four
hours ratlons as soon as it was handed me-
1t wouldn't keep!' Everybody too hungry.
Now, how about the highest death rate at
Andersonvilleq A hard fact, but plain
truth. At the cook house, near the gate, out
side the stockade, there were on patrole of
honor several men to do the cooking Salt
was issued to go into bread, and for boiling
beef. The salt was kept out by the paroled
men, who would slip down to the creek and
sell the salt to parties on inside, through spaces
between the logs for the water to pass, and

the mountain top, overlooking Ellerslie, has
been surmounted by plain marker. The
mound was built because in the days Of the
original survey it was impossible to get a
marker up the mountain. 1t would be almost
impossible today were it not for the train

the buyers would sell the salt, the next day,
by the teaspoonful, at exorbitant prices. All
could not buy, for many had no money. How
could the death rate be other than terrible,
when eating corn bread and green beef with
out salt, and drinking limestone water in the
summer time. Now for Caesar!
General Grant refused every proposition to
exchange prisoners; even refused to take them
and keep the Southern prisoners, saying,
'The Southern soldiers will go back into
ranks and those guarding prisoners will do
the same if we accept those in prison"

to Captain Wirz; he in turn told his secre-
tary, Martin, to write an order, and for
Smidt" to tack up inside Stockade, that
anyone offering salt for sale, that the salt
would be confscated and the party put in
stocks.
Within forty-eight hours the death rate de-
creased wonderfully. Wirz furnished tools
to dig wells. The prisoners dug out Of pris-

FUTURES ON COTTON,
Or
Brother Ben and Joe.


Two honest old farmers, a few weeks ago
(The one christened Ben and the other named
joey
While talking Religion we're naturally led
To consider the subject Of futures ahead.
1t is proper to state, and with much due re-
spect,
They were brothers devout of the very same
sect.
1t is true, their religion said Futures were
Games,
Called it gambling and SHINING and other such
names,
But they needn't tell every one, besides, why,
darnation,
mans got right to small speculation!
They talked the thing over-resolved once for
To be ''busted" or rich fore the first of next
Fall
And decided between them that Farming was
rotten,
And fortune lay only in Futures in Cotton.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-02-06

Brother Ben dreamed that night, that at last
it was Fall,
He was gently reclining in some marble hall.
He was playing the fiddle-the strains seemed
to weep,
And he trilled out the Op'ra Of Crock me to
Sleep"
tered around,
Brother Joe had just counted pile on the
ground.
He was rich! Oh how beautiful all things
now seemed!
And he woke but to hope for the things Of
his dream.
Brother Joe dreamt of Hades-that terrible
Where the Jew and the Gentle must both
''gine the band''
He had never before been in such hot cline,
And in rage asked the Keeper to tell him his
crime?
Said the keeper, MY Devils, poker quick
hotten!''
And he wrote with the poker: Futures on
Cotton!'
az 1doI CdlIle tHG I1u1uSS one evening III May
They had anxiously looked for the tidings all
day.
Joey read the thing frst turned as pale as
sod
Turned it over to Ben and cried "Busted by
Ned!"
Ben wept for his heart was now cruelty rent
And he said "Brother Joe, they don't pay
worth cent"
Brother Joe broke in earnest and left all his
debts
To be paid by friend Ben, from the Future
assets
So great this misfortune, that Brother Ben
sighed
AS he saw Brother Andrew "a bay horse as
tride)
Coming up to his house Che supposed to con-
dole)
So thinking confession was good for the soul,
He told his futures, his hopes and his all,
Of the dream and the fiddle he played in the
hall.
Brother Andrew sighed deeply-oh! Goddess
Of Pelf!
He too had tried futures and "busted'' him
self.
