Was Youngest Captain
In Confederate Army

The distinction of fighting through
out the Civil war as the youngest
man Of his rank in the Confederate
army belongs to Captain Richard
Fuller Manly, of Birmingham, Ala,
a venerable messenger at the South
ern Baptist convention in Atlanta,
who was honored by election to one
of the vice presidencies of the body
last Wednesday.
Captain Manly, who has been at
tending gatherings of his denomina
tion since the present convention was
founded more than fifty years ago
tells a graphic story of his unique
experience as commander of a com
pany with General Robert E. Lees
Northern Army Of Virginia.
After safely following his great
leader through many decisive battles
of the four-year struggle, the young
captain suffered a bullet wound in
the head nine days before Apo
mattox. He had held a sector of the
trenches before Petersburg for many
days previous, and when the federal
army set off their famous mine there
he was partially buried in the crater.
When what proved to be the last
retreat of Lees army began with
the evacuation of Petersburg, Cap
tain Manly helped make the Con
federacys' final stand, holding the
line with orders to expect no re-
lief while the troops passed through

London Is Planning
Great Victory Fete

Huge pyrotechnic displays are to
be the chief feature of England's cell
ebration of peace. In addition to
chains of bonfires on hills and
heights, civic authorities throughout
the country are arranging brilliant
spectacles of fireworks, and the de-
mand for fireworks for private sub
urban displays is already greater
than the manufacturers can supply.
The police of the country, espe-
cially the London department., are
strongly encouraging the fireworks
plan as against an aimless wander
ing about the streets of vases of
people in holiday mood, as duripg the
armistice celebration week.
1t is proposed to, have five or six
pyrotechnic exhibitions in parks in
various parts of the city. making all
the displays Of equal interest so that
people will remain in their own dis
tricts. 49,.
The scheme Of the committees in
charge of the celebration is to pro-
duce Examinations that can be- seen
from long distances. The giant bon
fire flares will be accompanied by
rockets and other effects
