Many thousands of North Caroli na's bravest and best dropped their swords to light no more during the seven days struggle around the Con federate capitol. Ninety-two regi ments constituted the divisions of JackBon. Longstreet. D. H. and A. P. Hill these were the forces that diove the men in blue to their ships and 16 of these regiments came from the "Land of the Long Leaf Tine." .Mr. Hill sums tip our losses In that terrible 7 day struggle around Rich mond: "Every tilth Confederate flag floated over a North Carolina bayonet; every fifth man who drop ped a gun in death was grieved for in a North Carolina home; Nearly every fourth wounded man who limped to the wre:ched hospital In the rear or wai borne off In a litter wore a North Carolina uniform. Of the bullets that laid low 15.813 Federal soldiers, ev ery fifth one was sped from a North Carolina musket." I On September 17th Of the second vear of the war the bloodiest one-day battle of ihe whole four years was foutht the battle of Sharpsburg. All day long the to mighty armies strug gled to gain the advantage and when twilight fell 11.657 men who wore the blue and beside them S.niiti of the choicest men who wore the grey were still in death. All day long the N Carolina uniform was seen .?:..: the thinning ranks of Lee'a army. At dawn with Jackson they fought to the left; eventide found them bravely standing their own. They died in plie to shatter Sed wlcka attack and made 'forever fa mom the road in which they fought. The Wounding of Jackson. On May 2 and 3 the battle of Chan rcllorsvllie was fought and it would have been a battle of triumph had it not been tor the wounding unto death of the immortal Jackson by a mistake of his own soldiers men who wetl.1 gladly have died for ihtlr beloved commander. On this field North Car olina wot. undying fame, although she paid for her glory by rourt:ir4 as her own son one-third of those slain. The battle or Ream's Station wae one of the most brilliant of the war In many respects. Gen. Lee ordered A. P. Hill to drive Gen. Hancock from the fortified position which he had gained. He tried to carry out the command, but after two determined and bloody assaults the attempt wai still a failure. Then daring privates under Cooke, McRae and Lane bogged lo be led to do what their comrades had failed to do. Their offlcera con- doubt that North Carolina was the most loyal state in the I'nlon during , t he World War. lr. Loveland of New j York made the same statement last I week from the Chautauqua platform, j Is it simply chance that makes our state stand pre-eminently in the war records as the most loyal ? Do you I not think your sons and your grand- i sons w ere living up to their heritage j when they were largely responsible for smashing the Hindenburg tine? With pardonable pride we boast: "First at Bethel, farthest to the front at Gettysburg and Chickamauga. last at Appomattox." In the sixties North Carolina enter ed the conflict with the thought: "My country! Right or wrong. My Coun try." To the man North this meant the I'nlon; to a North Carolinian It meant his state. When the call to arms came In 1917. to ihe North Carolinian it meant the call of the Stars and Stripes and he answered the call grandly, so among all the stars In the fietd of our Star Spangled Banner, North Carolina's star flames the brightest with loyalty. CONGRESSMAN' SLASH KS THROAT William H. Frankhaiiser, of Third Michigan District. Taken Lire. Congressman William H. Frank hauser, 58, or the third Michigan district, committed suicide In a san atorium at aBttle Creek, Mich., the other day by cutting his throat with a razor. He was found in a bath tub by his attendant, some time aftet slashing his throat. Despondency over 111 health is believed to have prompted the act. Mr. Frankhaiiser, whose home was in Hillsdale, was elected, to congress last November to succeed Represeuta tlve J. M. C. Smith, who retired. He became ill sometime after hla election and never had taken his seat la-congress. Mr. Frankhaiiser was operated on at the University of Michigan hospital In Ann Arbor about two months ago for removal of gall stones. He came to the sanitarium here May 6. Raby Die After Swallowing Paint. The two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Morgan, living near Car thage, swallowed some paint Monday afternoon. The child became deathly sick at once, and Doctors Grler and Watson were summoned, arriving about one hour after the baby had swallowed the paint. Measures were taken to save the baby's lire, but It died in a short time after terrible suffering. Like t,he foundation of a building, any philosophy can be undermined if we dig deep enough.
