Anniversary of DoneIson.

On the anniversary of the capture of
Fort Donelson Comrade John T. Con-
nell. of Carthage. n. Y, felt reminis-
cent. and gave the papers of that city
an interesting story. He belonged to
Co. A, Chicago Light Artillery, and took
part in Is great battles. At Shiloh he
remembers passing Gen. Logan, wound
ed, with hundreds of others, as his bat
terry galloped into action and checked
the rebel advance by blizzard of can
lister. Floyd, Pillow and Buckner had
masked their troops, but the guns cut
great windrows thru them.

At the Battle of Atlanta.

On the following day occurred the
battle of Atlanta, the greatest battle
Of the whole campaign. In that battle
our regiment lost nearly SO per cent of
its men in killed, wounded and cap
tured, and Jim Henry was among the
captured. He was doomed to endure
the horrors of various prison pens until
the war closed.
On Aug. Z5- while on the picket line,
Christy Warren. who knew green's" SO
well. didn't know enough to keep all of
himself inside the rifle pit, and was Sc
Verely wounded in the arm near the
shoulder, and ever since the war he
mas oeen proud of the fact that he
stopped the last bullet that came into
Co. E." But to my mind the glory OF
mat achievement is largely. offset by
the other fact that at the same time he
sacrihced the last man in the squad.
From July to Aug. % all of the six
members of the squad had been wound
eo' not only so, but two had been
WOUNDED twice, one three times and
one taken prisoner, making casualties
enough for IL men if impartiaIIy dis
tributed. Yet all of us lived to come
marching home" at the close of the
war. ie

the squad, came back utterly broken in

A Suspicious Accident.
It was natural. therefore, that he
should want to put away childish
things" and for some time he had vain
ly 'petitioned. demonstrated and sup
plicated" for permission to lay aside
his drum, shoulder a gun and take his
place in the ranks as became a man
and veteran. But one day FORUM
ate accident solved the problem in his
favor. While playing lively tune one
of his sticks went thru the head of his
drum and put it out of commission. AS
new head could not be obtained, he
was given the much-coveted gun.
At this distant day no harm can
come of my saying that, in confidence,
Mel told the squad the accident was
premeditated, but the sequel showed
that he made very bad move, for on
July t. while we were skirmishing to-
wards Turner's Ferry, on the Chatta-
hoochee River, a spent ball struck Mel
just south of his nose, enabling him to
keep stiff upper lip" in the literal
sense, and the poor boy soon had great
need of doing so in a fgurative sense,
for early the next day few shot struck
him in the abdomen.
Now, about 20 DAYS later was in the
division field hospital, and by my side
lay a big Texas rebel soldier, who was
not only a prisoner, but also minus a
leg. On comparing notes, we found
that his command, aided by some Geor-
gia State Militia, had contested our adj
vance along the Turner'S Ferry road
| on the 5th.. and he said that some of the
militia were armed with shotguns,
which explains how Mel got his turkey
shot. They did him no permanent in
jury, but at the same moment an ounce
ball crashed thru his knee and caused
the loss of his leg.
In the afternoon of the same day
Mac Richmond was wounded in the
hand. On July 81, in a charge near
Atlanta, Co E had three men killed
and IA wounded, three of them NOR

informed, though not by any member
of the court, before making the Quat-5
tlebaum recommendation, that neither
Judge Copes nor Judge Memminger
could be assigned to hold the Conway

cation Judge Copes would preside at
the Richland court in Columbia, this

lesion, the Judge having informed the
court, upon it's inquiry, that in the OPP
inion of his physicians he was not
physically able to go to Conway.

there was talk of an Indignation meet

1t is estimated that the failure to
hold court at this time has cost the
county $500, to say nothing Of the ex-.
pense incurred by a number of citiz-

as defendants witnesses. Clerk Of
Court W. L. Bryan today issued pay
warrants to jurors and bailiffs aggre-
eating $325.30. The many States wit

petitor of any power, the most gigan-
tic monopoly on earth, that could
raise the price of its products only a
few cents on the gallon and realize
millions over night! Yet we get bet
ter oil and cheaper oil than ever
known before.
These are all private concerns, deal
ing in no necessities, only luxuries,
yet if they should raise their prices
arbitrarily, without good and sufl-
cient reasons, see how quick the
courts would come to the rescue of
the common people. They would find
a way. The supreme court it is true,
has held since Justice Marshal's time,
that a charter is contract, and a
contract is Unavoidable. But the su-
preme court only recently reversed
itself in that particular, and held that
contracts can be changed, when ef-
fecting the public interests
Now, it is a little surprising that
the city attorney, as familiar with
all these facts, usually so clear-head-
ed, progressive and unbiased, should
advise in almost prohibitive restric-
ton against this great public utility
coming into city. 1t is to be expect
ed that when this great uloneyed Or
ganization undertook to develop the
powers, which they proposed selling
throughout the country, they laid out
their plans, their regulations, their
terms, and considered what they
could do and what they could not do"
Now is it to be thought for a mo-
ment that this great combination would
change their plans, or give benefits,
or binding promises, just to enter
small town like Newberry? If they
made exceptions for NeWberry' they
would be accused of favoritism, and
other towns and cities very justly
would demand the same treatment.
Then, again, if our mill men, who
control millions of dollars worth Of
property, are willing and anxious for
the advent of this power company,
they must have figured it out that
a foreign concern could deliver them
power cheaper than they could make
it themselves. Then, why should
they not have it?
If other towns and cities are will
ing to agree to the power companys
terms, and see DC danger, why should
our city be ever cautious, and shy at
remote possibilities?
All the council should exact is a
fair and square deal with other bene-
ficiaries, and this the court will see
that they get There seems to be
some fear of the fate Of tine city's own
power plant. Why, if a foreign COM
pany can come in and sell light and
power cheaper than the home concern
does, by all means let them do so. Is
the home plant paying expenses now
and laying by any dividends for the
taxpayers? We doubt it. Now, I may
be wrong in all my surmises, wrcnc
in my conclusions, and wrong in my
views, but it is the way it seems to a
Locker On.
