NAVY OF CONFEDERACY
PAID $3 FOR ITS BEEF
Old Offlcal Records Show Bread
Soared to $1 a Load From 1861 to
1864.
Washington, Fob. —Two chests
of official records of the Confederate
navy, which probably were brought
to Washington from Richmond, Va..
in 18(15. recently were found among
other old record* long in the posses
sion of the navy department. These
were stored in the attic of the state,
war, and navy building and \v«re
moved from there to the navy de
partment buliding at 18th and B.
streets, NW, several years ago. As
most of the Confederate papers per
tained to financial matters, it was
thought they were not of much naval
interest and they have been put
away awaiting their urn to be
examined, inspected and filed.
The office of naval record* is ar
chiving all the old manuscripts so
they may be available for historial
purposes, and, in searching .through
the material these records were
brought to light. They will be tiled
and placed so as to be available for
ready reference on questions per
taining to the history of the Con
federate navy.
In going through these papers,
which are financial accounts such as
authorizations for the purchase of
supplies and mat ‘rials for the Con
federate navy, orders for travel, pay
rolls of their ships and stations,
much new information has been gain
ed ns to the activities and personnel
of their navy as many record have
been lost.
Names Added to Ralls.
A register of officers of the Con
federate navy was made by the navy
department about 25 years ago.
These newly found papers have in
dicated numerous additions to the
register as a groat number of names
of officer* were found either in lists
of ships' crews, or attached to
vouchers and travel orders. A revis
ion of the register will be necessary
to include the names now available.
Long lists of enlisted men and the
, employees at the ship yards and
other industrial plants are also
among the papers.
As many of .the southern states
have granted pensions to the widows
of the men who served in the Con
federate forces, the United States
navy department has had many re
quests for information concerning
liersunnel of the Confederate navy.
In a great number of eases it has
been forced to reply no information
concerning the officers and men was
available. These newly found lists
will enable the navy department to
give information about a much lar
ger number of officers and men. In
every ease where a name is found,
either in a payroll, on a travel order
or on authorisation for supplies, a
record is made of the name and all
information concerning the man
that can be obtained from the docu
ments is noted, ami these will be kept
in a separate file for referenre.
Authorization's for the purchase of
building materials to be used in the
construction of ships have been
found. From these papers, as well as
from the Rais showing supplies pur
chased in the outfitting of the snips,
the list of known ships of the Con
federate navy is being enlarged.
These papers, in some cases, throw
new light on movements ami activf
, ties of their ships, as much of this
information has nefer been compiled.
Original orders and letters, some
of them signed by the Secretary of
the Navy, 8. B. Mallory, were found
in the chests. These give informs*
1 tion on the regulations of the nagal,
' service and the rates of pay. efc.
The list of supplies bought for the
ships and the prices of clothing pur
, chased for the men show the differ
ence In price paid by tbe Confederate
navy during the four years of tbe
war ami the steady increase of cost
from 1801 to 1805.
One of supplies, dated 1861,1
shows bread cost 5 cents a loaf/ but I
the price increased until, in July, |
1864, bread cost $1 a loaf. The bills
«sr‘ the purchase of beef shown a
greater increase Beef eost 10 eeuts
n pound in 1801. but by July 1, 1804,
was costing $3. The same price was
paid for a pound of park and lard.
These were for large quantities of
supplied and were wholesale prices,
f Another bill 1 isteel eabbage at 75
rents a head, a lock for S2O. and a
team of mules, with wagon and har
ness at SI,OOO. Meal at $7 a bushel,
eoru at $45 a barrel, .wheat at sls
a bushel are among the items re
ceipted for in 1804. Apple brandy at
SSO a gallon was among the supplies .
i bought. Suit cost 40 cents a pound
lin 1804. soap $2 a pound and bills |
dated July 1804, show flour cost the !
Nary $l5O a sack.
The cost of clothing, shoes espe
cially. is shown steadily increasing
during the war. In 1801. a contract
was signed for shoes at $1.70 a pair.
In June, 1804, "cotton shoes” were
listed at $0 a pair and in 1864
“Knglish shoes” were purchased at
35 a pair and a later bill shows that
the price rose to S3B in August,
1804. * ■
One officer's bill of expenses in
curred while traveling from Hender
son to Oxford, which was paid by an
officer at Halifax. X. 0., contained
the item "board one day at Hender
son, S3O" Similar expense lists show
approximately the same amount was
paid for n dny’s board in other cities.
Among the items lister was one
for tomato seeds for the marines to
plant which cost fifty cents for a
small package. Wood in 1804 cost
S7O n cord.
There are records of the building
of the gunboats at New. Orleans, the
construction of vessels at Mobile, Co
lumbus and Augusta. Industrial rec
ords are included too, as well as rec
ords showing the ordinance manu
facturing activities about Richmond.
Atlanta, Montgomary, Selma and
other cities.
Many of the papers contain in- '
formation about the Confederate
marine corps. Rolls of men in bar
racks and on ships are included, also
hills for supplies purchased for them.
Very little information about this
branch of the service has been avail
able heretofore, ns ninny records
were lost.

Well'Known and Popular Lee Street
Lady Finds Relief From Stomach
Trouble Through the l T ae of HERB
JUICE.
“I was in such a nervous condition
as a result of constant suffering from
nervous indigestion that I couldn't
rest day or night. I just barely exist
ed on nervous energy for a while, but
this condition was making terrible ih
roads on my system and had it not '
been for the precious HERB JUICE \
medicine I would have giveen up com- ,
B's,” said Mrs. C. O. Riley, of i
Lee Street, Salisbury, N. C., 1
when telling the HERB JUICE man 1
of her condition and the benefits she ]
had derived from use of HERB i
JUICE. Mrs. Riley continued as i
follows; “Any one can appreciate my 1
condition who has suffered with gas j
pains, sour, bloated stomach as much ]
as I have. I was never entirely free i
from pain. Everything I ate would i
hurt me. My digestive organs were 1
completely out of order and it just '
seemed that nothing I ate would di- \
gest in the natural way. A friend i
told me about HERB JUICE helping i
her so much and urged me to try it,
but I was a little skeptical at first, '
for I had tried so many remedies \
without getting any real relief. But ,
finally my suffering got so bad that
I decided as a last resort to try 1
HERB JUIOE, and I must candidly
admit that this medicine has done
more toward giving me real genuine
relief than anything-I have ever used.
Today I feel 100 per cent, improved in
every way. I have no more of those
awful indigestion pains or gas at
tacks and now I eat most anything,
enjoy my meals and digest toy food.
Ibis I could not do before I took
HERR JUICE. 1 have also found
that HERB JUICE is a wonder when
it comes to gelnlating the bowels and
stirring np a lasy User. HERB
JUICE is a great system cleanser
and regulator, for it has certainly
toned up my entire system and put
toe in better condition than I have
been in many a day, I can not rec
ommend HERB JUICE too highly for
all it has done in restoring me to good
health, and I trust that every sufferer
may bear about H, take it and be hen-
