THE SEMI-WEEKLY ROBESONIAN CIVIL WAR TIMES. Some Experience During: the Trying Time 47 Years Ago. fm the Editor of Ibe Robaaonian: Just 47 yf ars a)?o today was fought the bloody battle at Fort Fisher ard I was captured and carried to Point Lookout, where we suffered still more from cold, till the 4;h of June, when we were set free. This day reminds me of my txperi-nce while in prison there, as the snow is deep here an i it was the eldest d-i.v Saturday I cn rernembVr since we left I'oint Lookout. So I thought 1 would write a piec lor The Kohestmian about war times. We of c many L) w re sr tioned at the gte that is known as the Bloody (iate and of course we were the first to be captured in our face to-tace battle on Sun day afternoon, January 15 Then we were all surrounded by fed eral men and kept there until Wednesday. Many ot our brave and noole boys fell at that Rate while fUhtin fearlessly for their country and there we lot our brave and gallant captain, James 8. McCormick, who fell in that axeat struggle between the Con federates and Federals. The first man that crept to that nrm atrous parapet was Edward Wil IiamsofCo. D, ll7m regiment of Nev Xork volunteers, out a bullet sent him to his death 2 weeks later. According to their own statement tne Federal rei- ment went into tne Fort Fisher battle 2.855 itrong, of which 108 were killed or wounded. I am sorry" t6 say I do hot reThember just how many we lost there Colonel Lamb told us at the re union in Wilmington, but mv memory is not so good in my lat ter days and I can't be positive just how many he said we lost. But many of our brave noble boys gave up their lives there Tor their country in that one great battle. Colonels Lamb and Whiting were both wounded there and so was General Curti of the Federal regiment. He lost one eye and with blood pouring from many wounds he made the first entrance to the-' fort. Hs climbed the battlements by stick ing his sword in the ground to get up and we must admit that he was a brave foe. There was everything but peace and plenty to eat at Fort Fisher for three days after this, then we started by way of steam r to Point Lookout and reached there the next Sunday, and we were overtaken by a seven storm going round Cape Hatter as, and the sailors almost gave np in despair. They eaid we ;jere earried 50 miles out of our -way by th-j storm and I have often thought of the way Rev. James Smith, of Wilmington now, stood up by a post and made the most solemn prayer that night to G )d that not one Hfe on that ship should be lost. And I always have believed that prayer had something to do with the saving of our steamer and lives on that terrible night ol j torm-tosst-d billows and foam; and he was not a minister then, '. as he is no vv. You see, he was only a youthful soldier in gray We called him "Little Jim" then, but that name will not do for him now. The last time I saw him he was large, and we now eall him the Rev. James Smith But the storm was not all we had to contend with. Many of out men were terribly seasick and one of them died of seasicknes?, by the name of Daniel McNeill. He was a distant cousin of m.v i'e ar d the son of Sheriff Hec tor McNtiil of Cumberland coun ty, who was a noble Christim man, luvcd ai.d reverenced hv all who knew him, from the leas; child to the .lde-t man of hi county, was Sheriff McNeill, and his grandson is r o.v bheriff ct Cumberland county. Hector Mc Geachy of Fajetteville. I will doit- as I Can't write much of a letter. If "Aui.t Becky" or "Happy Jack" luitw as much of war battles as I do they could write something worth . while, but it just seems like I ean't get it together right. Be sides, it is my first attempt. I will wnit till some other time when I will not be so cold and maybe I can do better. - ,t J. C. Smith, Veteran. Red Springs, R. F. D. 2, Jan.' 15, 1912 A Hero In a Lighthouse For years J. S.

Verse 7 Do we need to do any thing special, except doing cur every day duty, to help God bring to pass at the exact time and place whatever he has planned for us? Give your rea sons. (S.) Why was it the plan of God that Jesus should be born In Bethle hem in a stable, and cradled in a mar ger? (9.) Does God have more interest in the masses or the classes, that Is in the poor or the rich? (10.) How do you account for it that no person gave up his room in the inn, and that no private citizen offered hospitality to a woman of such respectability, in such a serious condition? (11.)
