What the Warrant Warehouse Com

The Warrant Warehouse Com
parry was organized in May,
1905, soon. after the Cotton States
convention in New Orleans, at
which the urgent necessity for
improved methods of warehous-
ing and handling the cotton crop
of the south had been discussed
at great length.
How well the Warrant Ware
house Company responded to this
call is story of engrossing in
terest.
The company was organized
by leading business men of Bir-

increasing business offered them.

The morning Of April 9, 1865. at Ap.

on the front line. a half mile or so
from the Mclean house.
A mounted orderly came down the
line and informed us that flag Of
truce had come in and the war was
over and for us to rest in place until
further orders, or words to that eff.
feet. In our front. in a little valley.
was small body OF the enemy and
several army supply wagons. Having
nothing else to do. and desiring to
see a rebel camp, I, with Comrade
Gardiner, on detached service from
the 22d Mass. crossed to the enemy's
line and entered their camp after Gen.
Lee had gone to the Mclean house.

We were the first Union men inside
the lines at that point. We talked
with the men and officers. but they
did not seem to be In very good hu.
NOR. remembered an officer said
to me: "You have not whipped, only
overpowered US, and inside OF 20
years we will be at you again."
. We noticed some of the Johnnies
cutting an apple tree to pieces. which
stood near the fence OF a small or
chard. We stood by until several had
cut and split out quite large pieces OF
the tree. heard one Of them say, as
he shouldered his portion: Gen. Lee
may surrender II he wants to. but he
isn't going to surrender me-" Then
he started of across the country and
disappeared.
When the tree was nearly all cut
up and distributed asked an axman
why they were doing that. He in.
formed me that Lee and his generals
had sat under this tree and held a
consultation before the surrender.
! asked for the ak and cut ou,
several pieces for myself and com.
rade-partly roots. SO nearly had the
tree already disappeared.
BY this time 1t was wise that we
were getting back inside our own
lines. for two reasons-first, the enc.
my, who had gathered around in
great numbers. looked and acted as
II we had no business there: second,
we had gone inside their lines out of
curiosity and without permission. and
had been absent some time. We did
not see another Union man while we
were inside the lines.
