GALLANT SOLDIER
OF CONFEOERACY
CROSSES THE BAR
COL. H. G. EVANS JOINS HIS COM
RADES ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE RIVER.
FUNERAL, SERVICES TOMORROW
End Came While Trying to Help a
Fellow Comrade and Was charac-
teristic of the Man-Commande
Regiment az a Beardless Youth.

Col. H. G. Evans, gallant veteran
of the Confederate army, and one of
the most prominent citizens of Maury
county, died this morning at l O'Clock
in Nashville as the result of a para
lytic stroke which he suffered while
in that city attending the independent
state convention ON Wednesday.
Col Evans remains were brought
from Nashville this morning and TAX
en- to his home. The funeral service
will be held at the First Presbyterian
church tomorrow morning at 1920
o'clock and will be conducted by his
pastor, DR.. J. G. Molloy. The inter
ment will be at Rose Hill.
Col Evans is survived by his wife
and six children, William Evans and
Miss Annie Evans, of Columbia; Fred
Evans and Berry Evans, Of New Or
leans, La; Henry Evans. Of Mont
gomery, Ala, and Mrs. Charles s.
Jackson, of Mt. Pleasant.
No more gallant soldier followed
the fortunes of the Southern Confed-
eracy than Col. Evans, and he was
one of the youngest regimental COM
manders of the Confederate army,
being Lieutenant Colonel of the for
ty-eighth Tennessee when but little
more than past his majority. He was
born Sept. 20, 1912, and was there
fore only nineteen years OF age when
the great conflict between the sec
tions commenced. He served with
marked gallantry In numerous bat
ties and did not surrender until the
close of the war when Johnson's ar
my yielded to the inevitable at
Greensboro, N. G.
He enlisted in the Confederate ar
my at the outbreak of the conflict
and rose steadily by promotion until
when but little more than a beard
less youth he commanded a regiment
His comrades in arms have ever been
ready to testify to his sterling worth
as a soldier Of the South.
After the war Col. Evans was for
many years a travelling salesman
and had lived continuously in Column
bia where he was we'll known and
highly esteemed by all. He number
ed his friends by the hundreds and
was a gentleman Of convictions and
of loyalty and honor but the proudest
YEARS of his career were those when
he served meath the starry cross.
He received the fatal stroke while at
tending a state convention in the in
terest of a comrade who with him fol-
lowed the stars and bars. No man
was ever more loyal to the memories
and traditions and soldiers of the
Southern Confederacy than Col. Ev-
ans.
Col. Evans was a member of the
First Presbyterian church, Mason
and knight Templar and numbered
his friends by the hundreds.
The following friends will act as
pail bearers: Frank Swansburg,
Charles A. Parker, Jr., w. B. Wooten,
Walter P. Woodbridge, Ulna H. Foster,
and w. Andrew Dale.

ten minutes they had Bailey on board

were thronged with cheering crowds as
the boat was hoisted in and the purser
met Bailey as he stepped to the deck.

il that II has been found necessary to
take measures for the visitors protec-
ton. A stout rope has been run all
around the pool at distance OF about
ten feet from it, and behind this rope
the people now stand to watch the por-
poises in action, and they are In action
all the time.
Sometimes a big porpOise will jump
clean out OF the water, to drop back into
il with a great smack, or with its great
body curving to dive back into the
pool smoothly. Despite their great size
they are supple; II Is common thing
here 10 see porpoises turn complete
somersaults in the water, backward ana
forward. They swim around In the pool
in their natural position with their
great dorsal fin sticking up out OF
water like a big ploughshare: they
turn over and swim on their back ana
wave their pectoral fms in the air and
they roll over in the water as they
shoot through 1t.
The porpoise's broad and powerful
tail, like that of the whale, and unlike
the tail of fishes. is set in horizontal
plane. Sometimes when porpoise
Jumps out of the water It will bring
that big tail down on the surface with
a mighty smack. Often you see por-
poise here apparently standing on It's
| tail with it's head and four or hve feet
OF it's big, powerful body standing
straight up out OF water, or you may
see a porpoise apparently standing on
it's head with half or more OF the tail
end of It's body rising straight up and
with it's tail waving at the summit.
These porpoises have fine appetites.
They eat altogether about eighty-hve
pounds of food. consisting Of whole her
ring and cut up goldfish, daily. an aver
age of about seventeen pounds apiece.
They are fed twice a day, at $3.50 A. NJ
and 4;3O p. NJ, the food being tossed
into the pool.
No other Aquarium in America or In
Europe has pools as large as the one In
the New York Aquarium in which the
porpoises here are now disporting, and
II Is indeed doubtful II there are any
where any other porpoises in captivity
at the present time.

Ore Of the few remaining stall
warts Of the Civil War, General
SickIes was long cefore the public as
a character Of prominence, tor he
never tagged in his vitality and his
activities Even when aged and
overtaken bv misfortune and by &c
ceniricities Of character, he wa.a man
Of firm resoluteness and Of the stern,
gruif nature that had made him the
indomitable leader Of men in the ba.-
ties Of the republic. He possessed
rare qualit es that gave his name
permanent place in connection with
the campaign of Gettysburg, and other
bloody fields which made him a fig
ure Of vest interest.
General Sicklss was man of wide
sociability and man VINO hal been
given the widest tokens of regard
BY the government and by the publis.
His passing removes one Of the great
soldiers Of the republic and his name
will be enshrined on the taJlature of
history. Despite temperan. entail in
cidents developed IN late life he will
always be remembered for the quail
ties Of heart and Of character that
made him, during and after the war,
a man to be reckoned with 10 the
mighty movements for the preserva-
ton and TOR the reforming of the re-
public.
In death as in life General Sickles
will be regarded with tender affec-
ton by those were his compatriots in
strife, and honored by those who met
him as toes upon the battlefield.

ALL TRUE TO TnH FLAG.

This year marked the httieth an
niversary Of the great battle Of
Gettysburg and practically the close
Of the bloody internal strife that per-
meated every sphere ii th $ country
Though fey are left Of tn men who
fought for Moth and South during
that bloody conflict it is gratifying to
notice in the daily pless that many
Of those old warriors on both sides
have offered their services to Uncle
Sam to fight side by side in defense
of the flag in event Of war 10 Mexico.
This offering OF their services by
those men who fought one another
like grim death during the four
bloody years of the Civil war to their
country now shows that no longer
animosity reigns in the hearts Of
those men but that the, lave put be-
hind them the hatred and feeling Of
that time and are now as they have
been since that war true and loyal 20
their country. Il shows that the
american flag is loved, honored and
respected in the highest degree by
those whp fought for the South as
well as those who fought for the
North and it further shows that the
flag has nor truer friends and loyal
supporters than those who battle for
the South. Though many Of the
men who gave their services to the
North and South in that war are
physically unable to follow the ranks
yet they are heart and soul with the
boys at the front now ready to fight
for their country and Its flag, The
patriotism of these men cannot but
be greatly admired by every true
american citizen and it is with great
feeling of happiness that the Peep e
OF this country receive the nagnani-
nous offering Of these men ard the
demonstration that the animosiiies
that followed so long after the war
are wiped out.

BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT,

III our columns tliS week we pu-
blish notice Of meeting 10 be held
at Waldorf on Friday, May sfb, for
the purpose OF forming Boy Scout
movement
Boy Scouts have been organizer
in other parts Of the State and have
proved wonderful success from
many standpoints and it is to be
hoped that the boys in our county
will take an interest 10 this move
ment and puih it ahead as we are
assured that its results will be- mani
fold if the organization can be
brought about. In its third annual
report the Boy Scouts of America
give the following among other things
rs its aims.
sThe world interest in the Boy
Scout challenges the intelligent I'M
de.standing Of everyone, and yet
many people still ask sWhat is
Scouting?" What do Boy Scouts do?
The Boy Scout idea is move
ment rather than an organization. 1t
aims to supplement existing organi-
cations.
Scouting means outdoor life and so
health, strength, happiness and prac-
iical education. BY combining whole
some, attractive, outdoor activities
with the influence Of the Scout Oath
and Law the Mover. ent develops
characte-.
1t develops the power Of initiative
and resOuIcefnlness.
1t helps boys.
1t insures good citizenship.
The Boy Scout Movement health
fully and sanely offse.s the disAdyan-
tages which civilization has caused.
Conservation of our national re
sources is universally approved, but
Of what value would material re-
sources be unless we conserve the
moral, intellectual and physical future
of the coming generation
Prevention is recognized as better
and less expensive tnan cure. This
character building movement will
help abolish the pr ,blem of juvenile
delinquency.
We want to help the boys on leav
ing school to escape the evils Of
ablind alley occupations = that is,
such work as give the boy mele
wage for the moment, but leave him
stranded without any trade or ha ,di-
craft to pursue when he is man and
SO send him as recruit Of the great
army OF unemployed and, what is
worse, the unemployabe.
Scoutcraft includes instruction in
First Aid, Life Saving, Tracking
Signalling, Cycling, Nature Study,
Seamansbip, Campcraft, Woodcrafd,
Chivslry and all of the handicraf,s.
In Scouting the boy does not
stand still. The opportunity and in
centive for progress is always at hand. |
