(Shortly before his death. Mr.. Geo.
A. Langford, Of this city, who was an
eyewitness of the murder of Calvin
Crozier, was asked to point out the
exact spot of his death. In company
with Jno. K. Aull, of The Herald and
News, Mr.. Langford went to the spot
and located the exact positions OF
Crozier, of the negro soldiers who
murdered him, and of himself, and,
standing upon the scene of the dark
tragedy, he described it viVidly and
in minutest detail. The story, which
is reprinted here below, was written
for and published in the ladies' me-
mortal day edition Of The Herald and
News Of May II, 1906.)
Though hallowed by as heroic blood
as was ever spilled on Southern soil,
it is probable that very few people in
Newberry have an idea Of the exact
spot within the city limits where CAL
vim Crozier fell, murdered by negro
soldiers from the North because he
had sought to protect a Southern wo-
man from their brutal insults.
The remains of the Texan private
now rest in Rosemont, and his mem
ory is as fresh as the wealth OF
wreaths and garlands borne toGay by
the marble shaft that marks the spot.
His first grave was a ditch, not far
from the building of the Southern Cot
ton Oil Mill, into which he fell when
shot, his remains being covered over
with leaves, ruth1essly raked upon his
body by the negro soldiers with their
feet. There he remained for only a
short time, however, the body being
re7erently borne by those Of his own
race to the to- of the hill near by,
and prepared for Christian burial,
which was had in the old village
graveyard. Later the remains OF Croz-
ier were removed to Rosemont, and
the monument erected whereupon are
recorded his deeds Of heroism, and the
loving appreciation Of the people OF
Newberry.
There was one eye witness to that
dark tragedy on the morning OF Sep
tember 8, 1865, who recalls it as vivid
~ as If it were but yesterday. Then
but fourteen years Of age, the minu-
test details were burned into his mem
ory. He is Mr.. Geo. A. Langford, Of
this city, who was within thirty feet
of the soldiers when they fired, and
within about the same distance OF
Crozier when he fell. The relative
positions of Mr.. Langford and the
soldiers and Crozier placed them at
each angle of an equilateral triangle,
and the whole scene was before him.
The exact spot was pointed out to
the writer by Mr.. Langford. II a line
were drawn from the center OF the
water tank of the Southern Cotton
Oil mill to the west corner Of the
hull house of the Farmers Oil mill 1t
would pass through the spot pointed
out by Mr.. Langford as that on which
the Texan stood. It is almost exact
ly half way between, but probably a

little nearer the water tank. Crozier
was facing almost south, his back to
the place where is now the Southern
Oil Mill building. Mr.. Langford was
to Crozier's left, the soldiers were in
front of Crozier, and to Mr.. Lang
ford's left. The officer in charge Of
the soldiers was between Mr.. Lang
ford and the soldiers. Mr.. ~ Lang
ford says when the command was
given to fire his glance was across
the barrel of every musket that
pointed toward Crozier's breast.
South of the place where Crozier
stood, toward the Farmers Oil Mil,
is a little knoll, where stood the
tents OF the officers of the negro
troops. Down this slope he was be-
ing marched by the negroes when
first seen by Mr.. Langford, who was
just approaching the place from the
east. He was marched to the little
ditch, which still remains. He was
not allowed to cross the ditch, but
was placed just on its edge, about
10 feet in front of large white oak
tree, the stump of which may still be
seen.
Mr.. Langford took up his position,
as stated above, resting against a
tree, about ten steps to Crozier's'
left. The stump Of this tree still
remains also.
Mr.. Langford then gives vivid
description Of what followed. Croz-
ier was caused to turn around, fac
ing the south, and he stood erect and
folded his arms across his breast.
Five negro soldiers were lined up
thirty feet in front Of him, their Of
fcer to the right of the soldiers. The
command was given to fire and the
rain Of lead poured into Crozier's
breast, each of the five balls taking
effect between his arms. He fell in
stantly, and while he was struggling
in the agony Of death the negro Of
fcer walked up to him and sent a
pistol bali speeding through his
brain, saying, with an oath, "NoW,
you will lie still" Crozier had fall
len into the' ditch behind him, and
with their feet the negroes raked the
leaves over his body.
1t was a clear morning in Septem-
Der, shortly after sunrise. Mr.. Lang
ford put the time at little before 7
o'clock, probably.
Mr. Langford and some others car
ried the body to the top Of the hill,
where the face was bathed in warm
water to remove the dirt. Mr.. Lang
ford said that his recollection is that
Mrs. Lathrop, who lived only a little
distance from the spot, acrosss the
hill, supported Crozier's head, that
he supported his feet, and that he
thinks a negro was secured to help
bear the weight of >the body. There
were probably others who assisted,
he says, but be does not recall them
positively.
Such was the death Of the chiVal-
rous private of the Lone Star State.

THE BOYS IN GREY"
By Francis w. Higgins.

Exalt your hearts, lift high your
heads,
Eyes front, and steady stand,
For we are gathered here today
In memory Of a band
Of heroes, than whom none hraTer

From break of dawn, creations

With grander souls, no matte- when,
No matter in what way.
II.

wheels,
Let all things rest today;
Let cen the suns rays gently fall,
This proudest day of May;
This day of all the troubled year,
From early morn till night
Be- consecrated, set apart,
To heroes, and their right
III.
They live, yes, in our deepest heart
We know they'll ever live
So long as Gods o'erfowing hand
Hath mercy yet to give;
Until the Angels trump shall sound,
Until the latest test,
Their fame will all DER earth resound
AS bravest, truest, best.
Oh! let. then swell your throbbing
Bring forth earth's brightest flow
erS,
And lay them not on graves, but
shrines
Of these brave boys of ours.
Yes, lay them proudly on the sod
On this our halloWed day,
And shout, aloud, your thanks to God
For such grand Boys in Grey"
Such boys as knew how best to live,
The immortal way to die,
So that tho dead they are living still
In heart, in soul and eye.
Yes, living in our love warmed hearts,
Our souls, their mansions be;
With radiant eyes, we see them yet !,
And will for eternity.
Lift high your head, ye Southlands
son,
Ye Southland's lass and dame,
For God ne'er gave prouder gift
To shield your lives from shame.
It mattered not, to them, how fast
Came shrieking shot and shell,
They always knew just what to do,
And alway did it we'll.
Tho hungry, not word they said,
Tho ragged, tired, torn,
They bore, for love Of homeland's
veal 4
The things that should be borne
Without a shelter DER their heads,
In rain, in storm and cold,
They fought for loved ones, back at
home,
These boys, with hearts Of gold.
VIII.
Thank God! we'll see them yet again,
Somewhere, sometime, someplace,
Well clasp them in the arms OF love,
Well see them, face to face.
Not hungry, cold and tired then,
But clad in bright array,
Well shout our glad hosannahs when
We join our boys in grey.

REGULARS"
 WEAKENING Getting in With Insurgents To Reform House Rules AN AM|CABLE SETTLEMENT
Probable Adoption of Rule. To Prevent Smothering of Bills in Committee-In- surgents Talk of Dethron- ing Speaker Cannon

Washington. June l6.-Out of the three sided battle line in the house of representatives over reform rules. there appears something like an ami cable settlement After a session of the rules committee lasting most of the day and two sessions of insur- gents and republicans, it looked to- night as though tomorrow they might evolve plan upon which practically the parties and factions can unite.
 The rules committee delibeTated for hours over the Clark CherIey resOlu- tiOn which seems tO provide way for member to bring into the house a measure being "smothered in com mittee" Chairman Dalzell and other regular republicans of the rules committee joined with the democrats in attempting to formulate a rule that would work out the end desired.
 The fact that the regular wing party exhibited a willingness to join the re form" movement was generally com mented upon as indicating that a rule would be adopted before adjournment that the regulars had decided that it was the better part Of valor to join It rather than to resist it.
 It is stated that the dethrOuement of Speaker Cannon was discussed at the "insurgent" gathering but. that no def mite decision was reached. Many in- surgents are opposed to the attempted removal of the speaker. although if the matter is forced on the floor they ad- mitted they would vote that way.

THEORY STRENGTHENS CHARLTON IS MURDERER
NO TRACE OF HIM FOUND IN THE LAKE.
He Is Believed by Italian Authorities
 to Be on High Seas.

Como. Italy. June 16.-AlthOugh divers worked all day in the water of Lake Como, their labors were not re- wardcd with the finding of anything that would aid in solving the mystery of Mrs Mary Scott Castle Charlton's murder or serve as a clew to the fate of the woman's missing husband, Por- ter C. Charlton.
 Nothing was discovered today that in any way would justify the suppOsi- ton that CharltOn's body was in the lake. and the search has tended to strengthen the belief entertained all along by the police that Charlton has left the country and may be now on board some outward bound steamer
 Temporarily the examination of Is pOlatoff. the Russian suspect, has been suspended while the efforts of the prosecutor now are being directed to d thorough investigation of the scene of the murder and of the domestic and social relations of Charlton and his wife.

FINANCE AND COMMERCE

New York, June 16.-The stock mar ket was abandoned to dullness and ne glect today. Immediate developments were ignored and the professional leaders were driven to framing con lectures over what might prove to be the markets response to expected happenings in the future It was urged that the enactment of the railroad bill ought to open the way for some activi- ty in speculation.
 A more influential factor in the de pressiOn of speculation is the contest to be waged over the coming attempts to secure higher freight rates. The symptoms of acerbitv among the rail road executives in the discussion of the question of retrenchment and the broad insinuatiOn by the president of the Great Northern that the stock market policy rather than operating agencies govern were some of the propositions advanced and were taken as suggestive of the direction in which the rate contest might influence the stock market.
 Bonds were irregular. Sales. S1,064, 00O United States bonds were un- changed.

MIR. HADlEYS EXPECTATION
He Believes That Policies of Republican Party In Coming Campaign Will Be Announced Without Any Delay

St. Louis. June 16.-That Theodore Roosevelt will announce the policy of the republican party on which the next campaign will be conducted, as soon as he arrives on American shores, was the declaration of Governor Herbert :. Hadley here tonight at a banquet of republican clubs.
 II expect" said the governor. that immediately upon his return to our shores the greatest political genius ev- CT produced as well as the first citizen of the world today. to hear from the lips of Roosevelt an announcement of the policies of the republican party which can be adopted by all.
 Prior to 1896 the republican par ty was one of progress. but at that time it became the conservative party and remained so until 1901, when it came under the domination of ROOse- welt. At that time it became the party of radicalism, and I hope 10 sec it continue so in the future"
