Veteran Visits Selmer

jim Haynes of the 18th dis
trict, and member of Phillips
Legion of Georgia Cavalry, and
one of the leading citizens of the
county, spent Monday night in
Selmer, as the guest of the ed
itor of the Independent.
He gave US many chapters of
unwritten history. No soldier
who followed the flag of the Lost
Cause can unfold a more interest
ing narrative. He was under
Gen. Stewart and knew Gen. Lee
personally. He was in the aw
full slaughter of the I'd Manas-
sas, and saw the forces Of Nc
Clellan stop the mighty rush Of
the northward march of Lee at
Antietam. He fought in the
Wilderness, and helped to make
the conditions that brought forth
from the immortal Grant the un-
dying declaration, Il propose to
fight it out on this line if it takes
all summer!" He felt the earth
shake when the mines under Pc
tersburg exploded, and rushed
with his comrades into the BAT
tile Of the Crater" He was with
the command that got within
three miles of Washington. He
was with Stewards Division when
the entire Confederate forces
around Richmond and Peters
burg numbered only 36, 900 men,
surrounded by an invincible Fed
eral army numbering 280, 900 men
and reaching in its circuit down
into North Carolina. He was at
| Gettysburg, the real decisive bat
tie of the Civil war, and heard
the shouts of the Confederate
soldiers under the dashing Pick
EFT in the charge which made him
Immortal.
| Several days after the battle.of
Gettysburg, Gen. Dan Sickles,
who had lost a leg, was carried
into the presence of the great
Lincoln at the White House,
when the General gave in detail
the history of the fight. The
President replied that he had as
surance Of that victory in prayer
before the fight began.
Mr.. Haynes can give more au-
thentic history of the Civil war
in three hours than can be OBJ
4 tanned from some of the histories
! in three weeks.
He IS 81 years old, hale and
hearty, and we wish him many
Years more Of happiness and use.
