the present rail rate New Or
leans to Shreveport, the open
rate being on first class 60 cents
though contracts were made at
whatever less figures was neces-
sary to get the business. In
other words contracts were made
covering first-class New York
to Shreveport at 80 cents, where
as today the same service costs
from New York SLIP and from
New Orleans 60 cents and on
lower rated freight, lower rates.
In most all cases these rates was
sufficiently attrative to induce
all-rail lines to meet these rates
via all rail routes.
Figures Showing the Rates to be
Secured.
The fact that Shreveport has
water rates if responsible for the
fact that the rates from Shreve-
port to East Texas are now so
high because TO maintain the
present high rate from other in
terstate points to Texas it has
been necessary for the railroads
to advance the old rates from
Shreveport to Texas points. l
mention Shreveport because it is
the head of practicable naviga-
ton and now enjoys water rates
The use Of the old rates from
Shreveport to Texas points
would lower the present rates
from most all interstate points
to East Texas points; with navi-
cation to Jefferson shipments
could be unloaded on the wharf
at Jefferson and moved from jeff
erson to it's Texas destination on
the rates prescribed by the Rail
road Commission of Texas. The

and Gen. Butler worked against the
iniquitous measure The force bill
meant that the South must surren-:

war without an Appomattox. While
serving in Cuba on the peace COM
mission, Gen. Butler was told by
President Mckinley not to resign
as major general in the United
States army, because he wanted him
to retire on half payH $4,000 year.
Butler declined, saying that he vol
unteered to fight for his country,
and not for a pension.

leading his gallant men.on to vic
tory.
The Hon. F.. W. Pickens was the
first war Governor of the State. A
short while before the war began,
he was appointed minister to Rus.
sia, and just before leaving for his
distant post he married the beauti-
full Lucy Holcombe, the belle of the
Southwest.
Gen. Bonham.
Gen. Bonham commanded the
first South Carolina brigade that
went to Virginia, Kershaw's old
brigade. While in the field he was
elected Governor of the grand old
Commonwealth. After his term of
Office as Governor expired, he was
again commissioned a brigadier gen.
eral by President Davis. He was
our second war Goyerner.
The war over, we had recon-
struction, which was in the strictest
sense of the word the ''abomination
of desolation."
When that wizard of the saddle,
Gen. Forrest, organized the Ku
Klux Klan, Gen. Gary commanded
the Order in this State. 1t was this
very Order that made 1t possible for
Hampton, Butler and Gary to lead
the people to victory in 1875. This
generation will never-1understand
the great work that this trio accom-
plished in ridding. the State of seal
awags and carpet-baggers. Hamp-
toms suayity and Judgment, But
ler's boldness and magnetism, and
Gary's dash and quick parts, made
it possible to unite the white people
and RUN the carpet-baggers away,
and place the grand old Common
wealth again in the, hands of her
own people, those to the manner
born, who will die before they
will ever again permit her to be
surrendered into. the hands of
aliens.
1t was due to the persistent work
of Gen. Butler that the Jetties were
built in Charleston harbor. With
the exception of Senator Hale. of
New Hampshire, Gen. Butler did
more than any one else to establish
the United States navy oniits pres
ent footing. His greatest effort in
the Senate was when he killed the

False Witness.

There are people who would not
steal a pin, would not hurt a horse

intoxicating liquor for beverage,
but who thinks nothing of robbing
man of his good name, sticking

boris neck, and passing around a
bottle of libelous drink about an abb
sent human brother. Here is vice
to which good people are addicted

mands. They rode with military
primness, and were mounted or
steeds of delicately shaped limbs
with glistening eyes and full of fire
At their head rode NJ. G. Butler
then in the full bloom of manhood
and looking every inch the soldier
that he was by nature. His men
loved him, because they saw in him
a good eye and kind countenance,
the index of his benevolent heart.
And they rode forth so glorious in
array,
So mannerly and full of grace.
That every tongue would be COM
PEELED to say
They were the noblest of noble
race.''
Gen. NJ. c. Butler.
When M. G. Butler was born into
this world, he was born soldier.
This great cavalry leader had way
of. winning battles that was terrible
for the Yankees to behold. Gen.
Lee consulted with him like he would
Longstreet, Hampton and Stuart.
On the soth of May, 1864. Gen.
Lee issued an 6rder to Butler to
find out all he could about Grants
army; and, after being posted by
Butler, he set the trap into which
Grant was led by the gallant Caro-
lian. $4,000 Yankees we're shot
down in half an hour, while Lee lost
only 800. This was the battle of
second Cold Harbor, which was
fought on 3rd of Jane, 1864. AL,
Enough both Hampton and Fitz
Lee were present, Gen. Lee issued
the order to Gen. Butler instead of
to either of them. I have in my
possession the original order.
Mart Gary.
One of the most dashing officers
and original men in the Army of
Northern Virginia was Gen. M. w.
Gary. He inspired his men to
fight, and was beloved by the peo,
pie on the Chickahominy as was
Marion on the Santee during the
Revolution. Gen. Gary met Yam
kee general under a flag of truce on
the Chickahominy, and, when their
business was finished, Gen. Gary
saluted the Yankees, to whom, af-
ter they had gone about a hundred
yards, he called and said: Hold up
there. I am coming over to-mor-
row and give you fellows hell. "
And sure enough he did. He was
always striking and harrassing the
Yankees when they least expected
him. On the 9th of April, 1865, at
Appomattox, Gen. Gary refused to
surrender, and cut his way out. He
never surrendered, and never got a
wound during the war. He was
great criminal lawyer. In 1875
when our State lay PROSTATE in
ashes and wee, hedid for her his
finest work.
Gen. Abner Perrin, like Butler
and Gary, rose from captain to gen.
eral. He was killed May -, 1864,
at Spotsylvania Coult House, while

In the secession war 5000 Edge

were four generals: NJ. L. .Bonham,

were: A. P. Butler, Elbert Bland,

One of the bravest menin the a. N.

killed the goth of September, 1853,
on the bloody field of Chicka
mauga.
To the spanish-American war,
1898, Edgefeld furnished a major
general, M. c. Butler, and Col.
James IF. Tillman.
We all like to look at a comely
face; it is our spontaneous tribute
to the fairest thing God ever made,
lovely woman. The Edgefeld
Soldiers Relief Association during
the Warrior Southern Independence
was composed of such women, who
were: Mrs. NJ. L. Bonham, presi-
dent; Mrs. J. A. Bland, vice presi-

Gave Rebel Yell.
One day, in 1866, Gen. Lee was
riding old Traveller, his celebrated
war horse, along the road alone.
At sudden turn in the road, he
met one of his soldiers coming
from mill on horseback who, on
meeting the general, raised his hat
in salutation, and then, after pass
ing on few yards, stopped and
said: Hold on, General; won't you,
please, let me holler for your"
Then he began with the Rebel yell;
and, about the third or fourth
| whoop, the tears were trickhng
down the cheeks of the great gener-
al as well as. those of the Veteran
private, who had fop d Gen. Lee
over all the bloody battIefelds, from
Richmond to Gettysburg, and from
Gettysburg back to Richmond, to
Petersburg, and to .Appomattox.
Thus it happened that the old time
yells, which stirred Southern hearts
to valor and alarmed Yankee ones,
passed into sobs. Brother Vete-
rams, you understand how Gen. Lee
and that old soldier felt better than
can explain.
Old Edgefeld sent to the war
over 5000, just such men as was
this gallant private who cheered
Gen. Lee in the road. She also gave
to the cause two war Governors and
four generals.

this State ever produced was Gen.
