WHITEVILLE, Jan. II. - Don
''Humpty' Cavilla, last survivor OF
Pickett's charge at Gettysburg,
who has earned his bread for more
than II years by furnishing antics
in the form of a buffoon for the
crowds of Barnum and Bailey and
other famous circuses, recently
celebrated mis- Goth birthday, and
enjoyed his first birthday party at
Whiteville
Cavilla is a native of Charles
ton, S. c., and besides being Il
veteran of the great circuses of
the world, he has clowned, sung,
laughed and cried his way into
the affections of Whiteville resi-
dents, who find him a link with
the past and an example for the
present.
When the Hartford, Conn, fire
put Ringing Brothers circus out
of business for while last May,
Cavilla was assigned to the Bar
mum shows and continued with
them until they completed their
1914 tour in Lexington last Nov
ember.
The 96-year-old clown came to
Whiteville at the invitation of the
Civitan club to entertain Columbus
county school groups during the
winter months, and h already
adopted the town as where I'm
from when people ask me-" He
says the people OF Whiteville are
the most gracious he has ever
met.
On the occasion of his last birth
day, January 6, he was given a
surprise party, complete with a
cake and SO small candles. The
party was given in the boarding
house where he is living, and
among the gifts from Whiteville
residents was hearing device,
two suits of clothing. and a gen.
erous supply of socks, handker-
chiefs and neckties.
The man whose business it has
been to make people laugh f o r
more than 70 years suddenly found
himself in tears, and his admirers
cried with him.
cts the first birthday party
I've ever had" he confessed.
With some effort he reminisced
a little, and told the guests about
his fiance, also with the circus
She was claWed to death by &
tiger in 1888, three days before
their marriage.
This is the first affection showr
re since she died." he said.
The tenseness of the party was
not broken until one Of the gift

The action particularly affects
railroads traversing New York
state, Ohio, upper Pennsylvania

Johnson's action was not an

erection. There was no immediate
indication here how many passen.
