Beringer started the game for A.

Dear Sir-Replying to your favor OF
the 9Th instant with reference to mine
OF the I'd In the matter OF changing
schedules on the Fort Worth division,
asking II we could not arrange for To-
cal freight trains 32 and 80 to handle
divided coach between Bryan and Val
ley Junction, beg TO advise that we
are only operating these trains be-
tween Bryan and Valley Junction ev'
cry other day. train leaving Mart
Monday morning running through to
Bryan and returning Tuesday etc,
this due to the fact that we have In
sufficient business to require two To-
cal freight trains daily. In fact, we
do not have tonnage for the one train
each day, and assume II would not
be very satisfactory service to run
the coach on this train from Valley
Junction to Bryan one day and return
from Bryan to Valley Junction the
next day.
notice in the last paragraph Of
your letter that you are in doubt as
to whether one train each way per
day was adequate for proper accom-
mediation OF the travel in that par.
tlcular section. I beg to advise you
that one train each way daily is all
they have ever had on that part OF
/ the line. and I am sure you would not
think for moment that We need
more service between Bryan and Val

in the past several years.

1T does not matter what was said in William
Blacks lecture, these 4th degree subjects of
foreigner had no right to murder him for it.
If he slandered anybody, or used obscene
and vulgar language, our laws provided way
to punish him.
On account of his being an ex-priest, the
foreign law of the Italian pope authorized
American Catholics to kill him, and that IS
the lar those traitors and 0Ss0Ssi1ls acted
0nder.
But we cannot submit to the Roman priests
and the Knights of Columbus. when they
carry out this foreign law against American
citizens.
Since the infamous Ne tcmoye decree of the
foreign church was introduced into this
country, several years ago, the priests have
been forcing Catholic husbands to desert their
Protestant wives, and Catholic wives to de-
sert their Protestant husbands.
This has been done so quietly that our peo-
pie generally have not noticed it.
But | can give you instances, right here in
Georgia, where this foreign law of the pope
has been used to nullify our own laws, destroy
happy homes, and cause women and children
to be abandoned by lawful husbands.
The 4th degree knights of Columbus are
most dangerous body of men, not so much be-
cause they are the sworn subjects of foreign
potentate, as because, being alien enemies to
our religion and our lars, they are permitted
to exercise all the rights and privileges Of

The Burning OF Columbia During
tlle Civil War.

n recent issue Of the indianapolis News,
there is an illustrated article, on the above
named subject, based upon the rec0llectOns
of NJ. c. CARRIER, Jr., who, as a boy of four
teen, was with Gen. Sherman's army at the
time
[ quote the following part of the descrip-
ton;
Colonel CARRIER, as chief quartermaster had
orders from the general commanding to get all
valuable machinery, stores and supplies and to
take charge Of all captured property. He i'm
mediately entered upon that duty, and I, being
left footloose, walked over to look at the new
statehouse and see what was going on.
ION this journey l saw white citizens standing
at their front doors offering liquor to passersby.
l took none, but the soldiers did They also broke
into saloons and liquor houses to get it. There
was wholesale footing of the stores I entered
but one, a hardware store, thinking l could get
a pocket knife, but they were all gone. This store
was being robbed by low whites and negroes Of
Columbia. They Quarreled and, as there were no
soldiers in there at the time I became afraid and
left. | saw drunken Union soldiers lying asleep
in stores, overcome with liquors, and l have
doubt number of theme were burned to death in
the great cOnfagration of the night.
MY first recollection Of the fire is that of be-
ing awakened by my father and getting out OF
my comfortable bed reluctantly. The entire city
seemed to be burning and the flames appeared to
reach to the zenith. General Sherman and his
staff, including my father, were I'D and at work
giving them assistance. Woods division had first
occupied the town and Hazen was ordered in.
Troops traversed all the streets company front,
reaching from wall to wall or fence to fence, and
arrested every soldier not in regular command
under officer. Many soldiers were drunk some
violent and few criminal. Major Dayton,
of General Sherman's staff, shot of our SOL
diers for attempting to assault woman. Two
men were killed. thirty wounded and $40 ar
rested during the clean up. Very few outrages
were committed against women.
Colonel CARRIER, in his diary of the march,
says:
'The fire was terrible, the scenes too horrible
to describe. Large quantities Of whisky were
found, which the men drank to alarming extent.
My estimate is that forty blocks were burned.
So much for giving soldiers liquor.
The large and valuable stores which I had
secured, were destroyed, to the great loss and
detriment of the government
"The sack Of the stores and the burning of the
best portion of the city of Columbia is not to the
credit of the federal arms. Doubtless most of
those who justified it at the time when the pas
sons of civil strife were raging, would condemn it
now were they alive"
/,
If understand this description, its author
means to say that he himself saw citizens Of
Columbia handing out liquor, "at their front
DOORS" to the soldiers of Sherman's army,
and that in search of more liquor the soldiers
"broke into saloons and liquor houses to get
