THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1925 "THEN AND NOW" Reminiscenses and Historic Romance, 1856 to 1865 BY JUDGE D. F. MORROW Rutherfordton, N. C. Notice Copyright CHAPTER 16 Patrols, Run-a-Way Negroes and Other Things, 1860-63 Annie Lightfoot and William Bus ter had, as we have seen, been sweet hearts for a long time and like many others in the walks of sweetheart hood, had their ups and downs. And it seemed since the war broke out their troubles had increased about themselves as much as it had about other matters, like the Battle of Sev en Pines, the negro rising, which was coming off the 13th of December and the running away of old Tobe. For Annie and William had split up again just after the muster in July a year and more ago, it was said. Any way they had not been seen together since a few days after the muster, but every body knew that they had made up at the muster. For that was the day William had catapaulted Sid Gitsome away and run Sid's crowd! off with him. Folks said that Annie wanted William now to join the army and get to be a Captain, and William would not, for he said he was not able to stand the service. And this was on the way home from the muster ground that William told Annie that he would join but could not stand the hardships of war. This of course made Annie mad again CALL 18 FOR TAXI or U-Drive-It System Gat, Oil Tire* and Accetories, Trouble Car and WRECKER B. & M.

He wouldn't, and they split up again. But after they parted William decid ed, as he rode home, that he would go to Rutherfordtown next day and volunteer and be a Captain, if he could pass the examination as to his health. He did go and the doctors told him that he could not go for he had "drapsy" (dropsy) and could not stand the war, but he might see the Home Guard and do duty around home. Of course you know he would not tell Annie that he had failed to pass the examination and to get to be Captain as she wanted him to. So he bore his troubles alone, but did what the doctor told him to do and got in the home guard and was made lieu tenant. William Buster was, as we have stated before, a very large man more than six feet tall and large frame and looked to be the very picture of health but was not. You have seen those kind of folks that just looked all right but when it came to the show down there was something wrong and William knew it, but for Annie's sake was willing to take the risk and go to the war, if the doctors would let him. Of course Annie for a long time knew nothing of his com ing to town and the result of the examination. But just before her corn shucking in the fall of 1863, some of the women of the settlement had told her that William had made application to join the army and had been turned down, because his health would not allow it. This of course made Annie sorry for what she had done about trying to get William to be a Captain. And she knew if she asked him to come to the corn shuck ing, that under the custom of the country, he would come for she felt he would want to come and now she knew she wanted him to come bad for she wanted to talk to him. It is no wonder then that she fainted when he came and fell in the door the night of the corn shucking and the shoot ing. And it took her a long time to get over it, for she learned the reason he had not come to the shucking sooner in the day. He had been out as lieu tenant of the Home Guard and gotten them together and it was William who had suggested to the guard that they had better go that night to Annie's home and throw the guard around the house; but a way back so no one would know they were there. And they were in this position about a hundred and fifty yards from the house when old Tobe had made the break for liberty and run right out by William and William had tried to catch him when Tobe had run over him and caused the dirt and blood to be on William when he came and fell in the door. For William had found out some how" that Sid Gitsome and some of his crowd were to be near the house somewhere and meet Tobe and all the negroes who would come out and run away with him to his cave and then be sent to the Yankees. There was now no question but that not only was Sid Gitsom at, or near the corn shucking at Annie's on the night of 29th of November, 1863, but that Pope Ganes was with him there. Now Pope Ganes was the fel low who said he came from South | Carolina to see about getting help to guard his folks down there on the night of the 13th of December against the rising of the negroes. But it turned out that he was not in the settlement for that purpose, but was acting as a spy. For he had not gone to see any of the other captains but had gone to see Sid Gitsom. That is what was told on him. He had made arrangements and was boarding with Sam Cannahan and had for a month or more been seen at different times and places but appeared to be dodging. Once he was seen by old Charles at the lower end of Annie's farm just before the corn shucking, talking to old Tobe where Tobe was pulling corn. Char les said that when he got in sight of them Tobe jumped back over the fence and went to pulling corn again, but that he saw Pope Ganes go off down the river toward Cannahan's farm. When he asked Tobe who that was he was talking to, Tobe said, "nobody." But Charles had told An nie about this incident, for Annie and Charles both knew Pope Ganes for he had passed there the day after he had been to see Captain Morrow about getting help to go to South Carolina, and he had stopped and talked with Annie and Charles about the same thing and told them he was going to Sam Cannahan's that day to see about boarding a while with him. From these and other facts it was clear that Pope was not what he said he was and that the Captain was right when he said that he was a spy. Wil liam Buster had been to see the Cap tain after the boy went after him, but as usual it took William a long time to be convinced that Pope Ganes was a spy, but finally he came again and told the Captain that he was sat isfied that Ganes was a spy, for he had told him he was going to Squire Flackens when he left his house but that he had gone to Sam Cannahan's and was boarding there. William said he had told Ganes not to go to Sam's for Sam would not do, for old Sam and his boy both were leaning toward the Sid Gitsom crowd; and that every body believed that Sid sometimes came to Cannahan's at night. This is what William had told Ganes.
