WAS A RIFT IN THE CLOUDS
Happy Moments In a Soldiers
Life, After All.
THE PRESENTATION OF THE FLAG
Miss Peyton's Letter and Captain
Gray's Letter of Acceptance An
Inspiration to The Boys.
Camp at Lands End, S. C. Aug. 22
Editor Evening Telegram.
Dear Sir Under the leadership of
the fairest of the fair ladies of your
progressive city, a beautiful silken
flag has been made and presented to
the brave boys who left their homes
and went to the war with the Greens
boro company. It was my good for
tune to witness the presentation of this
flag, and after reading so many ac
counts of battle, disease and hardship
undergone by our soldiers in the war,
it may be pleasant for your subscrib
ers to read of one of the rays of sun
shine which sometimes rift the cloud
of a soldiers life.
A pleasant ride by boat from Port
Royal sound, the finest harbor on tbe
Atlantic coast, past the naval station
with its mammoth dry dock and ma
chine shops, past the quarantine sta
tion nestling in a grove of beautiful
Palmettos, where are encamped the
South Carolina naval reserves, past
the monitor Nantucket manned by the
Wilmington naval reserves, past the
torpedo boat Winslow on which the
gallant Bagley died and other war
vessels had brought me to St. Helena's
Island.
This is one of the far famed sea is
lands of South Carolina and appears
to the appreaching visitors as a strip
of golden sand surmounted by a
wealth of rich green verdure, above
which at frequent intervals rises that
most graceful and picturesque of all
trees, the Palmetto. The troops were
drawn up for their regular Saturday
afternoon inspection, each man in bis
brightest and newest uniform and there
was a generous crowd of onlookers.
Soldiers from the engineers and hos
pital corps on the island, marines
from the naval station, sailors from
the war ships in tbe harbor, citizens
from the neighboring towns of Beau
fort and Port Royal, the whole sur
rounded by a black fringe of natives
of the island made a motley and pic
turesque group indeed.
The flag was brought forward and
appropriately presented, Captain
Gray reading the letter of presentation
from the Girls Home ' Guards and the
letter of acceptance as, follows:
Capt. R. P. Gray, Co. D, 2d Regt.,N.
C. V.;
The Girls Home Guard of Greens
boro, appreciating the patriotism and
state pride which impelled the officers
and men of your company to volun
tarily undergo the hardships, priva
tions and dangers of soldier life, pre
sent this Sag to your company. We
feel sure that it will be "defended with
honor" and that Co. D, by its behav
ior, under whatever circumstances and
environment it may be called to act,
will reflect honor upon the"01d North
State" and upon the donors.
Charlotte A. Peyton,
Treasurer.
Aug. 12, '98.
Lands End, S. C, Aug. 20, '98.
To the Girls Home Guards of Greens
boro, N. C:
Company D, Second- North Caro
lina Volunteer Infantry, accepts the
beautiful silken banner presented by
the Girls Home Guard of Greensboro,
and in accepting this beautiful token
of sympathy we assure the lovely don
ors and our fellow townsmen gener
ally, that we do so with a full appre
ciation of the faith and trust they
repose in us. The glorious record of
the North Carolina soldier, bis cour
age and sense of duty, his faithfulness
to every trust, is unexcelled in the his
tory of the world. We know what is
ezpacted of North Carolina soldiers
and we shall do our duty, whether it
be to meet the enemy on some foreign
soil or to remain at home for the -defense
of our own fair land. Your
sympathy," fair ladies, is an inspira
tion for us We will gallantly defend
your flag, and will always carry in
our hearts the tenderest feeling for the
Girls Home Guard.
On behalf of each and evsry mem
ber of the company I am very respect
fully and gratefully yours,
R. Percy Gray,
Capt. Sec. N. C. V. I. Commanding.
The soft sea breeze caught its silken
folds and spread the gorgeous flag in
all its beauty to the gaze of the as
sembly, then there burst forth from
those lusty throats cheer after cheer,
ending with three cheers and a tiger
for the Girls Home Guard.
The parade was dismissed just at
sunset amid the booming of oannon
and the soul-stirring strains of 'mar
tial music by the garrison band and;
your correspondent left the field think
ing that there are sometimes, after all,
happy moments in a soldier's life,
which lessen its hardships and priva
tions. A Subscriber.
CAPT. BBSSENT GOES HOME.
He Is Off On a Ten Days Furlough.
He Is Lookins Well.
Jolly, jovial Capt. J. C. Bessent, of
the Forsyth Riflemen, spent last night
in the city and went to his home in
Winston this morning to visit his fam
ily. He is off on-a ten days furlough.
Capt. Bessent called to see "the
boys" in the Telegram office this morn
ing. He is looking splendid and gives
a good account of the members of his
company. In fact the whole of the
First regiment hasenjoycd remarkably
good health.
There have been but three deaths in
the First regiment since it was mus
tered in. They were Barbee, of Dur
ham, who was killed by the train while
enroute to Florida; Corporal Adams,
who died from an operation for ap
pendicitis, and another member died
of typhoid fever. This is a remarka
bly good record.
Captain Bessent thinks the first reg
iment will go to Cuba as a part of the
army of occupation, probably some
time in October.
REV. DR. BYRD ILL.
Condition Was Critical, but Is Im
proved Today.
When Rev. Dr. Charles W. Byrd,
pastor of Central M. E. church, south,
called at the Citizen office yesterday
afternoon at 4 o'clock he was the pic
ture of health and apparently perfect
ly well, except that he complained of
trouble with his eyesight. He spent
some time in the office and later
went for a call on Rev. E. L.
Bain at the parsonage of the North
Asheville church.
While there Dr. Byrd was suddenly
seized with an attack of congestion of
the brain, his condition being such as
to greatly alarm those who were with
him. Drs. Carl V. Reynolds and G.
W. Purefoy were hastily summoned
and gave all possible aid to the strick
en man.
For several hours Dr. Byrd's con
dition was exceedingly critical, but
finally he began to show signs of im
provement, and today be was a great
deal better. It was expected that he
would be so far improved as to be re
moved to his home this afternoon.
The members of his congregation
and the people of Asheville generally
will hope for Dr. Byrd's speedy and
complete lecovery. Asheville Citi
zen.

"Refreshing"
and "Delicious"
are words tuat are often heard after
people have tried Orange Phosphate
at our fountain. Orange Phosphare
is so common that it takes something
extra to call forth such remarks. The
secret of ours is that we are careful to
have fresh syrups, made from the best
material we can find. Fresh syrup
means syrup made not longer than
the day before you taste it.
Our Orange Phosphate
is delicious because it hasn't that
celery pine wood taste. It has that
acid taste that pleases.
