old house. At the Burgess fight Is
where General Hampton's son was
killed. General Hampton dismount-
ed from his horse and knelt down and
kissed his son and then remounted
and went into the battle.
Another incident, the enemy ad-
vanced and fought in our camp on
that day and our Colonel Jeffords was
killed and the enemy withdrew leav-
ing their dead and wounded in our
care. Col. Jetfords' body was laid
out in the tent in which he camped-
a similar incident is not recorded in
the entire war.
While talking ON the fight, want
to relate little incident: The Bur-
CESS family has moved away from the
above named house, and when re,
turned to Petersburg, found out the
Burgesses were living there. l called
Mr.. Thomas Burgess over the phone
and requested him to come to the
hotel. He came at once and | talked
with him about his old home; and
when | told him about General
Hampton's son being killed, Mr.. Bur-
CESS answered and said: II remember
it well, as l assisted in making the
coffin that Hampton's son was shipped
home in."
Ny command after serving around
Richmond was transferred to South
side James river, near Petersburg and
it was every day business to fight
We engaged in the following fights
Boydton Plank Road, Reams Station,
Stony Creek, Armstrong; and Bur-
CESS Mill, Jerusalem Plank Road and
others
About September 18th Hampton
went on raid down Scoggins Point
and captured $500 head Of fine cat
tie.
In six months service around Rich
mond and Petersburg my regiment,
5th South Carolina cavalry, lost four
hundred men killed and wounded and
fifty captured. Our chief fighting
was done on foot with Infeld rifles.
1t will not be long before all Con-
federates will have passed over the
river to rest under the shade of the
trees.
Just to think how good our Savior
has been to HE. Ny Company "K''
numbered one hundred and seventy
six men, and all have passed over
but three, their names are K. c Whit
mire, Cross Keys; Smid Lynch, Cross
Anchor, S. c., anl. myself.
Richmond deserves great credit for
the glorious time given the old vets.
Reached home safe.

met a great many friends and ac-
quaintances from all over the South,
and a few camps of Confederate vet
Grams from Northern states, and all
seemed as enthusiastic for the South
as the day when Lee and Jackson
surrendered.
Our regiment, 5th South Carolina
cavalry, went to Virginia in May,
1864. We first served on the north
side of James river in and around
Richmond We were in all the fights:
Charles City, Second Cold Harbor,
White House, York River, Chicka-

With some friends, we went over
to Petersburg to visit the Crater,
where so many South Carolinians
were blown up, and so many lives
lost. When we reached Petersburg
we were met by Mrs Tucker White
and her nephew, Frank, to whom we
are under many, many obligations
for driving us from one place to an
other, to show Us all the points Of
interest. We first went to the Crater
and saw the breastworks and where
the explosion was. At this Crater
there is an old Presbyterian church
called Old Blanford, built in 1871. In
this old and we'll preserved church

PLAYED PART OF GHOST
 FOR PURPOSE OF PHOTOGRAPH

Naples. Me. July S0.-The wrath of Ghost mountain. whose ectoplasmic out lines were photographed recently by H. Allen Lushear of Newark. N. J.. was materialized for the benefit. of summer boarders. Mrs. Pearlie Chapin. owner of the haunted house on top of the noun tain, admitted today. There was more than ectoplasm to the Newark mans ghost picture. Mes. Chapin said, one of her boarders having played the part of spook for the purpose of the photograph.
 A party of eight persons from the New Jersey city paid a nocturnal visit to the haunted house. which has legend pre- served through passing generations of summer visitoCs. According to this tale. unhappy couple lived there and when the woman died her ghost returned to haunt the husband. The nightly visita- tions finally drove the man Insane. but the ghost continued to walk.
 Lushear and his party were not disap- pointed. They described the vision they saw as "A cloudy. unsubstantial form. in shape not unlike the mass that gathers on the candlestick as a candle melts" Lushear according to the story. snap ped the ghost and then the party went swiftly away from that place.
 This is not the first time summer wis | itors have been entertained with spirits Mrs. Chapin said. Each summer for 2
 number of years manifestations" have
 beeen staged, but not always with equa | success

SETTLEMENT OF RAIL
 STRIKE REGARDED CERTAIN

Chicago, July 30 (By the A. P).- Peace terms have been agreed to in the countrywide railway strike and formal ratification has been assured through President Hardings efforts, it was as- serted tonight by man in close official touch with the situation.
 All that now remains before the strike, which has cost the workers upward of $40, ,00o, ,OO0 in wages, passes into history, it was asserted. was the formal indorse- ment of the terms of>settlement by the railway executives meeting in New York and the strike leaders who will convene in Chicago at the same hour.
 "The acceptance of President Hard ings proposal was a foregone conclusion before T. Dewitt Cuyler issued the call for the meeting of the rail execu- tives in New York, and Bert Jewell, head of the striking shopmen. summoned similar meeting of union chiefs for the same date," this man, who has been in closest touch with the entire situation declared.
 "The rail executives will finally decide to yield for the good of the country, sweeping aside the seniority issue he continued, but their gesture will give little consolation to the men who walked out on July l, for besides their loss in pay they will lose some of their seniority rights to the men who remained at work. see their original grievances returned to the United States railroad labor board for re-hearing, and the question of a na- tional adjustment board and certain other points taken up by congress,
 '-The exact terms rcobably will not be known until after Tuesdays meetings, but whatever they are the objections of a minority on either side will not be suf- fciently strong to obstruct or prevent their ratification by both side. I lnn sen iority issue has been raised since the be- ginning of the strike, it must be remem- bered. and it is not as great a stumbling block as it has seemed at times. When the time comes 1t will be disposed. of with justice to all and to the satisfaction of the great majority of the workers"

LODGE TO ENCOUNTER
 OPPOSITION TO REELECTION

Boston, July 3o-(By the A. P.)- Six Massachusetts citizens have de- clared their willingness to wear the sen atorial toga in Washington, in the be- lief that thirty years service there Is enough for Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and that he ought to be retired next March. But they have different ideas as to how this ought to be done. The matter will be submitted to the voters of this state at the primaries on Septem- Der 12, and they will decide whether Senator Lodge shall make a sixth ap- pearance as the republican nominee in the November election and which one of four democrats shall represent the op- position.
 Joseph Walker, former speaker of the house of representatives, is contesting the republican nomination with Senator Lodge. He was at one time allied with the republican nomination with Senator Lodge. He was at one time allied with the progressive wing of the party The candidates for the democratic, nomina- ton are Former Governor Eugene N. Foss. Colonel William A. Gaston, a banker, and long active in his party {; Sherman L. Whipples, leading attorney Professor Dallas Lore Sharp of Boston University and John Jackson Walsh, a former state senator. All are Boston men,
 Mir. Walker bases his candidacy upon the argument that Senator Lodge has ''reactionary" tendencies and does not properly represent his party. Colonel Gaston in recent address laid particu lar stress on opposition to the tariff bill which he said was being forced through an unwilling congress under the leader ship of Senator Lodge" Mr. Whipple in announcing his candidacy; asserted that the senior senator from Massachu- setts represented the power of organiz- ed money interests and had been lead ing directly against the great wing of progressive principles" Professor Sharp includes in his platform abolition of war, industrial peace, prohibition, low tariff, the independence of the Philippines Walsh has described himself as political idealist who be- lieves that all things can be better than they are He has urged liberal individ- ual financial support" to the democratic party which he said must become self supporting"
 As nominations for the primaries do not close until next month the lineup in the various congressional districts is not yet defined.
 Governor Charming H. Cox, republican, is opposed for the nomination by Attor- ney J. Weston Allen. It has been the usual term. but Mir. Allen has pointed out that Governor Cox is the first Massachusetts executive to be chosen for twoyear term and asserts for this reason the precedent does not hold. The attorney general was awarded an hon orary degree by Harvard university last month in recognition of his prosecution of two district attorneys which resulted in their removal from office for maifeas- ance.
 On the democratic ticket John F. Fitz- gerald, former congressman and form CT mayor of Boston, Joseph B. Ely of Springfield, and Mayor Peter F. Sulli- van of Worcester are candidates for the nomination forf governor.
