A GALLANT SOLDIER
VETERAN WRITES OF COL. o. NJ.
sDANTzLER's DEATH.
He Was Brave, Generous and Kind,
and Every Man in His Command
Was Devoted to Him.
To the Editor of The State:

TO the Editor of The State:
Seeing an item in the Columbia
State of the reunion at Orangeburg,
containing some remarks about the
gallant Col. o. NJ. Dantzler brought
to my memory the event Of his death
and all about his charge he made on
chat fateful moring. I belonged to
his regim ment, the 22nd South Caro-
lima, Company +, and remember dis
well as if it had been yesterday his
movements. When he was prepar-
Ing for his charge he came to our
trenches, where We were lying, and 1t
seemed. to me tha. he wanted to
pick his men. He was notlong form-
ing his line for the purpose Of cap
turing the picket lilr in front Of US.
He made his charge and it was
through the woods. In his charge
i.e -cau-c 20 ! regiment lying in the
woods all in line. 1t was said it was
a North Carolina regiment. {. He made
no halt. but charged on for the Yam,
kee liue and captured it aud took
some prisoners. After sending back
his prisoners he wanted to go on
and charge their main line, but from
some cause the regiment In reserve
did not rally and come to the front.
He had taken from one OF the
prisoners he got a repeating rife and
he lay down behind large cluster
of chinquepin bushes and opened fire
on the main Yankee line. They soon
found where the fast firing was CAM
ing from and they centred all their
fire on him and soon killed him.
When our boys returned without him
we soon hoisted a flag of truce. 1t
was accepted and his body was
brought into our lines. He had $50
in his pocket and gold watch, and
these were undisturbed. They cut
one of the stars of; of his collar and
kept it. That was all that was miss
ing.
Col. o. NJ. Dantzier was brave,
generous and kind. His entire COM
mand loved him. Had We known Of
his stand he was, taking by himself
we certainly would have tried to
bring him away. The odds were too
great except that he could have or
.dered up the regiment in reserve in
the woods in the rear.

sibilities of this startling story and

mantle drama Is the most talked Of

THE FARMERS WHIPPED HDI.
Cotton Association Made 1t Too Hct
For John Hyde.

j. = u. . - - f,,. = ~ 3 - . b.
Inability to cope With the Southern
Cotton Association which, he says,
&, was a wagging q '.tremendous fight.
against him was the reason assigned
By John Hyde; former statistician
Of the Department OF Agriculture,
for his resignation Of that Office upon
the disclosure OF the famous cot
ton leak scandal about Ave years
ago. !.
Explaining the attitude Of the
Southern Cotton Association, he
said: '.The association. whose most
active officer was subsequently shown
to have been at that very time spec
ulating on the cotton exchange, was
making a tremendous fight against
ne as statistician simply because a
recent official report of mine was ad-
verse to certain personal interests
OF this officer. l was on the verge
of physical collapse due to neuras-
thcnia, and fel: unable to continue
the unequal struggle against so
powerful an organizations.
Had I continued the fight, how
ever, | should ccatainly have come
out on top, as Developments clearly
proved. 3ut WAS assured Oil the
very hi-:hcst medical authority that

that time, ordered a stay in Europe,
and eventually urged long sea voy-
age. went from here to Japan,
and was six weeks at sea. AS the
result Of an entire change Of work
and environment, am now In better
health than have enjoyed for 20
years.
Referring to the suspicion that at
tached to him In consequence OF his
resignation and long absence, and
particularly on account Of his ab-
se,lce during the trial Of the offen-
ders, he characterizes 1t as uufound-
ed and grossly unjust. 1.-The secret
service men cleared me of all sus-
picion." he said.
