"REMINISCENCES OF THE CIVIL WAR
By w. B. Fuller, Mountville, S. c.

AS Bill Arp used to say, while
Illuminating this rainy morning, my
thoughts or mind runs back to the
Confederate, or as some call 1t, "The
Civil War"
Now fifty six years since Lee sur
rendered at Appomattox, and Long
street, at Greensboro, N. G.
Our company left home November,
1861, as remember, 40 strong, live
ly boys and men. j. G. Williams, our
captain, was loved by the entire COM
Dany. No conscripts were in this com
pany. We all bid our mothers,
fathers, sisters, wives and swecthearts
goodbye all bouyant and full Of life,
expecting to conquer the Yankees in q
few months and return to our loved
ones with great honor: But, Oh! how
different.
We served from November, 1861, un-
til August, 1862, in Columbia, S. c.,
and in and around Charleston, S. C.
Then we received orders to go to Vir
ginia, and some Of the men and boys
got old fast, few had palpitation of
the heart, some got Off to come home.

Very early in the morning we sur
prised the enemy in camp, killing some
, in thoir night clothes and took some
! prisoners and capturing a quantity OF
rations. Our men were very elated ov-
er their capture Of the rations 1--WE
thought the enemy had been com
pletely routed) when we were ordered
to follow them. We had thin line to
press them with but we followed them
for nine miles. Then the enemy re-
ceivcd reinforcements from Winches-
ter and they charged our little band
What stampede back to Cedar Creek!
remember one of the boys saw Gen
cral Early standing on mound look
ing with his spy glass and the boy
said General, are you going to make
stand on Fishers Hill? Damn
FISHERS Hill and you too" was the
Generals reply, SO we left in a hurry.
The nwe went back to Richmond,
october, 1864, and stayed on the lines
until Christmas. Immediately after
Christmas we were sent to Charleston,
5. ", and were forwarded to the Salt
kehache River, where Thad Brown of
our company was killed. In going
back through North Carolina, at
Avcrysborrough and Bentonsville and
all the way up we had little skirmish
cs. At Greesnboro, we surrendered
on the twenty-seventh day OF April,
1863. We spent a few days at Green's
boro to fix I'D papers and to get ra-
tons. We walked to Laurens in three
days and on home that night Oh!
what a big day the next day with
our mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers,
sweethearts and other young friends.
And too, | wish to say this: All those
loved ones that were at the feast that
my mother and father gave me on the
day after | returned from the army,
are gone, except one, Mrs. Lettie Walk
er, who was the daughter of Tillman
Fuller. also wish to call your atten-
ton to the fact that every young lady
that attended the feast wore dresses
spun and made at home by their
mothers or aunties. One girl said that
she wove her Ofwn and by the way,
later married that sweet girl.
l am urged, by neice who is very
proud OF my war record, to add this
little incident. not only because OF the
honor bestowed upon myself, but as a
matter Of history. For it is not gen
orally known that the Yankee Gencr-
al requested each Confederate Captain
to bring forward the most deserving
soldier in his company. that he should
be presented with his own gun and
all accessories. Capt. w. s. Pitts Sc
lected your humble servant to receive

dawning when the night of death

Not Neuro Soncs.

Most people fancy in vague way
that stephen Fosters songs are ne
grold or were Inspired by the negro
music. But "Old Folks ut Home" and
the other Foster melodies are about as
unlike negro music AS anything could
possibly be. That their words are
often IN negro dialect and express ne
gro sentiments is simply a historic ac-
cidcnt due TO the fact that in Fosters
day the negro Ministries. real or
"corked," were the OILY means OF
bringing music before the public.

Beware of Eye Strain.

Irrltability of the stomach, loss OF
appetite, dyspeltIc symptoms after
partaking of food, dizziness, nausea
and vomiting are often caused by eye
strain. After the eyes are examined
and glasses are worn the symptoms
disappear. Children during the period
of school life who frequently suffer
from headache, loss of appetite ana
dizziness and are behind in their work
should have their eyes examined and
the eye strain relieved by prescribed
glasses.
