WAR SI
How an Up-Country Town Wi
oral and His Hor<
Columbi
In thc town of Anderson, situated !
in upper Carolina, an old gcntlemau,
his wifo. two daughters aud a sou had
taken refuge during tho war. They
resided in rooms of au old hotel, com
paratively comfortably situated to
many who had alwo left pleasant and
luxurious homes. On the first of
May, 18lii>, they were pondeang the
questions of provisions-one of grest
consideration in those day? of scar
city. Thc Inrder boasted of a little
flour, small quantity of grist and a
well stripped ham bone, and (the great
treat then) some sorghum. An alarm
had been sounded the day before,
"the Yankees will probably reach An
derson tomorrow to raid the town!"
Of course it was illegal, peace having
been declared, and wc ought to have
been free . from any molestation of
enemies. Said one of the ladies, a
stately dame: "If the raiders do come
there will be some satisfaction in har?
?Dg nothing for them to take."
The May day dawned upon us in all
its loveliness; the air so bracing, the
fragrance in woods and valleys every
where gladdening us after sad win
ter's reign; the sun shone down as if
in blessing. Pionios were the order
of the day among schools; all seemed
cheery, at least for the Laorn, for not
many heeded the rumor of tho pre
vious day. But, ah, what a reign of
terror was in store ere the day closed;
nono dreamed of it. About lp. m.
thc rumor assumed r ^ality and every
one bethought how they might save
just what they would teed most from
the despoilers. My sister and I busied
ourselves oolleoting some jewelry
prized, putting it in a glass jar, and
proponed to bury it near a spring a
little distance from us. On our way
we stopped at a friend's house,
asking advice, but before we could de?
cide we found ourselves surrounded
by the raiders, who had oomeinto the
town in all directions. We had gone
lo the back of the house to secrete
our treasures, but saw them across the
street. Sister (the bravest of the
two) hid them about her perron-;t
was a dangerous aot, for we had heard
of very rude treatment in some in
stances. Our friend's house was be
set with the vandals, coarse, ill bred,
dirty men, not one who looked re
spectable or gentlemanly. They cool
ly took the watoh our friend bsd on,
went to the stable and stole a fine
pet horse, leaving a lame and blind
mule instead. The watoh was valued
much for its antiquity in the family,
but they did not beed that. We were
! in great perplexity a? to our getting
back to our home on the square. Four
j thousand men uuder on J Geo. Brown
had crowled our pretty, peaceful
I town. Gen. Brown was not io a con
I dition during his stay of two days and
nights to oontroi or command any
thing, rauoh Jess his men; the families
of the town were at their mercy.
They tried lo gain protection, asking
for a guard in almost every home. 1
asked this wonderful conqueror to
givens protection. He said, "There
is BU ah ? demand for guards that
we should have ever so many more
men."
We reaohed our home to find our
dear mother greatly distressed and un
nerved, having risen that morning for
the first time in three weeks from ?
siok bed, hoing an invalid for some
years. Father, my dear, patrio tie,
good father, had been robbed of a fine
gold watch and roughly handled/ Two
young demons had entered the house;
one girdled with numbers of dirks,
pistols atad other articles of violence,
began flinging but everything/ lora
a trunk of mother's, looking for arma
and money, destroy i og clothing and
vases that woro ??ut ?w?y there. When
asked, "Young mao, do you ?v?r
think of God?" Lo turned and with aol
oath pointed a pistol at hor, saying,
"This is a Yankee's god." 8he was
alarmed and ran to Sud help; just
then a man, who seemed to he an offi
cer of some sort j came in and ordered
these wretches out; Ono of them
stole our servant's watch, A silver one,
that he had given his young roaster in
charge, hoping to h?ve it- rep^ed.
When he knew they had taken it ha
was enraged and said, "Well, well, is

j all thc provisions, deebing, bedding,
etc., which bad been stolen from the
whites. A lady who had started for
Williamston with her little daughter
wap stripped of her bonnet and outer
wraps; theBc were given to some negro
I women who were about tho depot; her
trunk was broken open and some line
dr^atps and money were also taken.
They fired into the cars and prevent
ed their departure. Some of these
ruffians entered my father's room;
they fouud an old rusty rifle, one he
had used years before, and, after ridi
culing it, presentid arms and told
him: "You can kill as many rebels as
you please with this, we don't want
it." At about tea time (near 7 o'clock)
a puffy looking Irishman, with a toler
able good face, came into tho pas
sage, and aekef* for some water tore
fresh him from dust and beat. We
told our man servant to pu., a basin,
soap and towel there for bin use. He
seemed very glad to have it and after
using it said he would rest a little.
Of course it was the best policy to
accommodate him, so my father,
(whose courtesy waa always notice
able) invited this Capt. C-, as be
styled himself, into our sitting room.
He took his seat on our broad, old
fashioned sofa and plied father with
some questions, asking: "Do yon
know that Lincoln was killed, mur
dered?" And did he over hear any
thing about tho war? And did he
know of the surrender? It greatly
amused my patriotic father, who
had kept himself well advised in ali
important matters and told this fellow
so.
Tea was served and, though the
merl was a simple and soant one, he
was asked to join us. He declined,
much to our gratification, and said:
"I will not interrupt you, only wiah
to rest and will just sit where I am."
Be was marshal of the unruly horde,
and we had asked him for protection
and was glad to have him near. We
took our seats to partake of our mea*
-tea, biscuits, grist and Borne sor*
ghum, (the latter a deliaaoy during the
war.) When we went to help our*
selves there was nothing like a spoon
or fork there; no silver of any kind.
Sister, who presided at the - waiter,
oalled Lawrence, (our waiting boy, a
tall, comely blaok of 16, well trained
in bia oalling), to get the silver, and
wondered why he had omitted it.
knowing it was needed. He waa very
obstinate, refusing to place it, kept
twisting sideways and turning his
back to the captain, and making all
the signs secretly bo could do without
deteotion from the captain. The en
tics and signs were too, ridiculous,
and we were . foll of laughter. At
last sister ordered him to gb at once
and stop bis nonsense. He brought
them and kept a vigilant eye upes the
oaptain, and^ as spov> as we were
through the mr<al, instantly, as wo
rose, grabbed up each article and rush
ed wildly, out of the foons* hid them
up an old unused chimney. We
found out that he was *?ery sure the
captain might rob us and tried to pre*
silver-headed mahogany stick, put*
ting it under the rafters of the roof.

Tte Surrender nt Apponiat:ox
To the Editor of The -Newa and
Courier: Forty-one years ago today I
will ever be remembered by the Con
federate Veterans, especially those of
Seo. Lee's army, as it was on that
day that Gen. Lee surrendered to ,
Gen. Grant at Appomattox. The day ,
was pretty much suoh a day as this ,
and about the same temperature. The
surrender took place in the forenoon
and just After the formala surrender
Gen. John 2. Gordon rode along in
front of our lines (as we were still in
line) and made a speech in which he
reviewed tho whole of the four sears
of the war, and his keen, commanding
voice, whioh was familiar to the whole
cf Lee's army, rang oat aioog the line
as he rode back and forth for more
than an hour, until every eye was j
wet with tears and every heurt was
ead.
After Gen. Gordon's speeoh we I
wero marched to a woods near by and ]
went into camp, where we remained j
until tho evening of the 12th. During
this time wo turned over our arms aod
accoutrements to the Federal a.niy j
aod received our paroles. Wb,en we J
went into aamp tho evening of the 9ih I
it was under different circumstances j
from army ruies, for it was the first
time during the four years that we j
had not placed sentinels around our j
camp* I was orderly sergeant and j
also in command of my company, A,
10th South Carolina Volunteers, and
Lieut. Gol. W. B. Allison, who was
common di D y tho- regiment, called for j
a guard at night to guard his horse, j
whioh had been tho role all through
the war. I told the next man Of the
company for duty, who was my own j
brother, what Col. Allison wanted, J
and that it was his tura togo on duty. I
He replied with an oath that he j
wouldn't do it, that the wur was over. |
I told him I thought he was abont
right and that was the end of it. The
colonel's black horse had to go with
out a guard. j
We lay down in the woods on our I
blankets, tired, hungry and nearly j
worn out with bard service* for al
night of rest, but we were disturbed
by a cold rain that commenced in the
night and we had to got np. We
stretched our blankets, making fly
tents, and huddled down under them
till morning. . We were promised ra
tions by the Federal officers, bat vre
only got a little hard tack, and on the
12th we received oar paroles and were
told to take caro of ourselves as best
we could, and every mother's' son of
ns started for home.

Simple Way to Cure Catarrh' by Hy.
omei Without Stomach Dosing.
It ta tko height of folly to dose the
atomtob with internal medicines to
euro nasal catarrh. It cannot bo cured
except tho oatarrhal germs that are
present in the nose, throat and lungs
have first been killed.
The soothing air of Hyomei heals
tho smarting and raw membrane of
the air passages in the nose, throat
and lungs, kills off the oatarrhal germs
and uds the system of tho last traces
of catarrh.
The compl?te Hyomei outfit cousists
of a hard rubber inhaler whioh can bc
carried in the purse or vest pocket, a
mcdioinc dropper, and a bottle of Hy
omei, and costs only one dollar, while
extra bottles can be obtained for 50
cents.
Evans Pharmacy positively guar
anteo a cure when Hyomei is used io
accordance with the simple direotions
on the package, or they will refund
the money. This certainly shows
their faith and belief in the virtues of
Hyomei.
