OLD GUARD OF
ANDERSONVILLE
REFUTES TALES

CORDELE, Ap ril21.-A j. Child
ress, who was a sixteen-year-old
guard at Andersonyille prison one
year of the Confederacy, is here on a
visit from his home in Rutledge. He
went to Andersonyille the other day,
the first time since he left the mill
tary prison. The preposterous in
formation he gathers from the monu
ments erected there makes him burn
with indignation.
The intimation that a bloudburst
opened up the spring in the prison
grounds for water for the imprisoned
men was resented by Mr.. Childress
who saw the spring running in all
natures purity before even the stock
ade was completed The site was
chosen because of the fresh water.
He defended Major Wirz as a braze
and fearless officer full of human
sympathy and well qualified for his
duties, and performing them well and
faithfully. He recounted that this Of
ficer was courtmartialed and shot af-
ter peace, an Illegal procedure that
made his death a statuatory murder
Mr.. Childress declares, he knows of
the fact that Major Wirz would have
been given his liberty if he had re-
vealed the whereabouts of President
Davis Of the Confederacy That test
was put to him and he chose to die
rather than betray his leader. Major
Wirz was a Swede, but fine man, Mr.
Childress declares.
Mr.. Childress says the prisoners
got as good as the Confederacy could
give as PROVISIONS and none of them
suffered from hunger or thirst Only
one man was shot during the exis-
tence of the prison. and this was a
crazy prisoner trying to escape and
whose mental condition was not
known to the guard who shot him
He says he distinctly remembers
the stockade, the hospital, and the
daily ration. The stockade, he believes,
and ALSO the hospital, were both
approximately what they are in mod
ern warfare, much the same as those
used today with the armies fighting
Germany, so far as he has seen.
Mr.. Childress was at the north
gate of the prison, not far away One
time he was standing on his rail at
his stoop at rest, the only relaxation
allowed. He heard a rumbling. This
was possible to hear because he was
on the stoop and bending his head to
the rail- He called for the corporal
of the guard and a deep tunnel was
disclosed with men in it cut off from
behind by the fence wall of heavy
timbers which had dropped into the
upper wall of the tunnel. These
were prisoners trying to get away.
Mr.. Childress is now 70 years OF
age and is often questioned on mat
ters concerning treatment of the pris-
oners at Andersonville. He is val
liable to the Confederacy today as a
historian and what he has to say as of
his year as a guard at Andersonville
should become part of the perma-
nent records whcih are kept in the
South as a refutation of the Northern
claim that Andersonville was an in
ferno for federal prisoners.

ing cents a pound for them in bulk,
or 6 and1-4 cents sacked F. o. B. cars
at Georgia shipping points.
This price which amounts to $120
and $125 per ton, respectively, is con-
sidered good, in view of the recent
market in Georgia and is about in line
with what the bureau stated they
should bring, when it advised the
growers last fall, to let them go at
the low prices then prevailing.
While in st. Louis few days ago
on business for the market bureau,
Director L. B. Jackson called on this
firm of peanut shelters and secured
the foregoing offer. The company
desires a strictly high grade white
Spanish Peanut, as they are to be
used as food The market bureau
will be glad to put in direct touch
with the st Louis firm anyone who
has peanuts of this character for sale.

made by the State Market Bureau.

information regarding the leading
brokers and fruit dealers in cities all
over the country, and through them
to keep posted on the actual market

melons and cantaloupes, and TO have
on file at the State Capitol in the De-
partment of Agriculture the name and
address of each grower, the acreage
planted, the probable yield IN carloads
and when they will likely be ready
for market. Having this Information
it will be a comparatively easy mat
ter for the bureau, in touch with the
leading markets, to notify the lloGuc-
er promptly where the best prices are
being offered.
The bureau is glad 70 perform dis
service for the prodrears and only
ask that they Gll send in, a. seen
as possible the necessary information

or number of growers in any com
munity who have, at any time, a car

the markets paying the highest prices.
| Investigations have been made by the
bureau in this direction, and it is
prepared to furnish growers of hogs
with information that will be of ma
| terial advantage to them when they
have carload lots of hGEs 20 offer.

WEEKLY GRAIN & PROVISIONS.

Chicago. Jan. 18.-Rapid downward
swings in the cor market have taken
place this week owing chiefly to re-
ports that Great Britain and France

supplies in the United States, and
that corn prices here and in Argentina
would be brought nearer together.
Corn quotations this morning COM
pared with a week ago were down
5 1-S to 8 5-8, oats off 2 1-2 to 2 81
and provisions varying from $3.50 de-
cline to "a rise of 35c.
Bearish sentiment dominated the
corn market the greater portion Of
the time after word came of the ac-
ton of Great Britain and France re-
gardtng food contracts, especially az
the news was almost Simultaneous

States food administration that all

and by the continued big receipts of
