m EHJOYABIE TRIP.
This wntar lias recently enjwy-.
ed to the utmost a. fcmg-hoped for
trip to the battlefields at Gettys
barg, Sharpsbarg andin the She
nandoah valley of Virginia, and,
while our anticipations were very
great, yet they were all fully re
alized. Of course we will not at
tempt to give the details of such
a trip but a brief description may
interest our readers. The jour
ney was made in an automobile
from Washington, D. C, to Get
tysburg, Sharpsburg, Williams
port, Winchester, Strasburg, New
Market, Luray, thence back to
Winchester and returning to
Washington via Harper's Ferry
and Frederick. The distance
travelled was nearly five hun
dred miles in four days, so that
no time was lost either in travel
ling or in sightseeing. Nothing
whatever happened to mar the
pleasure of the journey. The
weather was as favorable as
could have been desired, there
having been only one shower of
rain and that wa3 on the last af
ternoon of the trip between Fred
erick and Washington, and even
that did not interfere with the
comfort or progress of the jour
ney. Such a hurried trip could have
been possible only in an automo
bile, which at times rushed along
at the rate of forty-five miles an
hour over a smooth turnpike road.
The roads travelled in Maryland
and Pennsylvania were free to
travellers, but on the turnpikes
in Virginia Heavy tolls were
charged, twenty-five cents every
ve miles-for an automobile. These
toKs were collected every five
mites by some old man or woman
by the roadside, and a long pole
was placed across the road at
each of those places, which could
be lowered or raised as occasion
demanded. The turnpike in the
Shenandoah -Valley is owned by
the state and a company, the
former one-third and the latter
two-thirds interest. The collec
tion of these tolls reminded this
writer of the toll gate3 thatjused
to be on the plank-roads leading
out from Fayetteville nearly six
ty years ago. Our party con
sisted of the editor of The Rec
ord, Capt. W. L. London, H. M.
London and Lieutenant J. J.
London, of the U. S. S. May
flower, who owned and drove the
automobile in which the trip was
so pleasantly made.
Our party left Washington
about 9 o'clock in the morning
and arrived at Gettysburg (87
miles distant) at 1 o'clock. Most
of the road was in fine condition.
although parts of it reminded us
of our Chatham roads, being
quite hilly but not so rocky. The
country along the road between
Washington and Gettysburg was
rolling and undulating, and on
each side were fertile and well
cultivated farms, with magnifi
cent fields of corn. Although all
the wheat had been cut vet some
had not yet been hauled out of
the fields, and the large and nu
merous shocks indicated a heavy
yield and bountiful

pulling nearly all the wagons

The first place visited at Get -
L Urf.ua ?mner was the ' The government has expended

ernment commissioners (who proving the battlefield which em
have charge of the battlefield) braces 26.000 acres of land, and

is idefitlfied every place and ob-
jecj of interest on the battlefield,
and which gives a very clear un-
derstanding and explanation of j
the movements of the contend
iuz armies in that great battle.
After leaving that office a guide
was obtained.Mr. H.W. Long, who
was fully informed at to all the
details of the three-days' battle
and could tell the regiments com-
jDosSosevesy brigade m both the
TTnim and Confederate, armies.
. - t was thef
monument erected to Gea.
noldsof the Union army on the
spot where he as killed. It was
near this place where the battle
began and where the 26th North
Carolina regiment lost so heavily.
When there we could but think
of the many gallant sons of Chat
ham county in that regiment who
were there shot, Next we visit
ed that part of the' battlefield
where Daniels' North Carolina
brigade fought so bravely and
lost so heavily, and of especial
interest was the railroad cut in
which so many Union soldiers
were then captured. The fight
ing on the first day was on the
north and northwest of Gettys
burg, our troops returning from
York,- Carlisle, Chamber burg and
other points to the north and
west of that town, while the
Union army was advancing from
he southeast from the direc
tion of .Washington and the Po
tomac river. As is well known
our army drove the enemy back
through and beyond Gettysburg
in that first dav's fight, and if
that success had been followed
the Union army would have met
a disastroust defeat.
After visiting this part of the
battlefield our party next visited
that part south of the town.Culps
Hill. Devil's Den and Little
Round Top, where there was such
heavy fighting on the second
day of the battle. From the sum
mit of Little Round Top (which
is quite a mountain) there is a
magnificent and extended view
over the battlefield and surround
ing country. From there could
be easily seen the noted peach
orchard and wheatfield in which
there was such desperate fight
ing on the second day, and from
which that part of the Union
army under Gen. Daniel E. Sick
les was driven with , heavy loss
"Devil's Den" is well named, for
it is a high hill covered with
huge rock boulders over which it
seemed almost impossible for any
man to climb when not encum
bered or opposed, and yet over
which our soldiers fought their
way most desperately.
The most notable spot, or rath
er that which is most talked and
written about, is the "bloody
angle" where our troops were
repulsed after a most desperate
but unsuccessful assault. Many
monuments are erected all along
the Union line of bati 1 at and
near that point and an iron fence
incloses the clump of small oak
trees to which Gen. Lee pointed
when directing that unfortunate
charge as the central spot for
our assault. After viewing the
ground over which that charge
was made we wondered why it
was ever undertaken. The dis
tance traversed by our men in
that charge was about one mile
through an open country with
fences to cross, with nothing to
protect them from a most mur
derous fire of small arms and ar
tillery from their front and flank

and graves are unknown.
The town of Gettysburg con
tains only about5.(KKKiihabitants,
and It ist said that the chief source
of revenue for the town is the
money expended there by the
thousands of visitors wfao anu-
viifc the hatt!efielL The af-
t - -r - -
Key-Jtemoon of our visit there was a
very exciting game of baseball
plaved between the local team
and one from some other rival
own, and this contest seemed to
excite the peaceful town almost!011 tne PePle ot tne united
as much as when Lee's army ap-
preached !
This was the first visit to Get-
tysburgthat had been made(by i
Capt. W. L. London since the j
battle (fifty-one years before), !
, , , ..
m which he had commanded the
sharpshooters (300 in number) of
Daniels brigade and was highly
complimented in the official re
port of that officer.
The scene witnessed by him on
this visit was so very different
from that in which he participat
ed over half a century before
Then the air resounded with the
roar of cannon, the firing of
muskets, the bursting of shells,
the cries of the dying and the
shouts of men battling for their
lives. Now. on this visit, the
fields that once ran with human
blood and were strewn with the
dead and dying were green with
growing corn and yellow with
wheat stubble on which cattle
were quietly browsing. What a
contrast !
In our next issue we will give
some account or the visit to
Sharpsburg and the Shenandoah
Valley.
WAR IN EUROPE.
The greatest war the world has
ever expenencea is now being
waged in Europe, in which many
thousands of human lives will be
sacrificed and indescribable suf
fering endured by millions of in
nocent men, women and children.
And what will it profit? Who
will be benefited? Hardly any
war has ever been begun with so
little excuse or justification. It
really does seem almost incredi
ble in this enlightened and pro
gressive age that all the great
nations of Europe should now be
waging such a war. Many op
timists had hoped that such a
war was impossible and that in
this age of advanced Christianity
and civilization all international
disputes might be settled without
bloodshed. And yet in all the
large cities of the countries in
volved excited crowds of citizens
were parading the streets and
enthusiastically clamoring for
war. How little did they know
what war means!
Never before in the world's
history have so many men been
at war and at such an incalcula
ble cost. What the result will be
no man can now predict, except
that thousands sf men will be
killed, others maimed for life
and millions upon millions of dol
lars worth of property destroy
ed. So mighty a conflict is con
vulsing the. civilized world and
arouses intense interest every
where. The troubles in Mexico
now sink into utter insignificance
and no longer attract the slight
est attention. Vhi!e all Europe
seems more or less involved in
this gigantic struggle the pr-ople
of the United States are fortunate
in being able to be mers lookers
on, and that our republic will not
join in this terrible shedding of
human blood. God knows that
this country suffered enough
from 1861 to 1865. and we can
sympathize with the "people of
Europe who will suffer so much
from this war. ;
While the recent assassination
of the Austrian Archduke Ferdi
nand by a Servian fanatic may
have been the spark that so sud
denly caused this explosion, yet
some of the European powers,
especially Germany and Russia,
have long prepared for (and we
may 3ay desired) a war. Other
wise why should they have been
supporting and training such im
mense armies? England seems
to have earnestly and sincerely
desired a peacef ul settleme nt and
our sympathies are entirely with
her and France as against Ger-
j many and Austria. It ie?ms
' Quite strange that England and
France should now be on the
same side, when those countries
have been ancient enemies for
centurLs, except when they uni
ted in the Crusades and in the
Crimean war with Russia in 1854.
The Emperor of e Germany, who
has, been so ardently pretending
to be for universal peace, sterna
now to be the most desirous fir
war. Car which he has been so
tang ana so vigorously preparing. spHtetf, a vout svstem immediately

Prophet Predicts Blizzards.
Atlanta. Ga , Aug. 4. Prof.
A. L. Snider, of Atlanta, the most
famous amateur weather prophet
of the country,' is out with an
other forecast. He slips over
severe startling prognostications.
Professor Snider says August
will be hot and dry, with some
showers and much lightnintr.
This is considered . rather prob
able by most students. .
He says fall will come late. and
a hard winter is on the way. He
predicts blizzards that will sweep
from coast to coast, and that a
great comet will light the heav
ens and be plainly visible to the
naked eye.
Hading Them to SdiooL
From the Marshall News-llecord .
Bancorabe county board of ef
acation is trying out a new ex
periment this year. In the Haw
Creek and Chun's Cove district
the school children will be car
ried to the school in a watror.
There will be a school officer
whose duty it is to go around
with his wagon and team to each
school and gather up the children
and haul them to school, and at
the close of school in the after
noon he will carry them back
home. In the west and north
this has been a custom for a good
while.
