MERCHANTS & FARMERS BANK MARION, NORTH CAROLINA, An Interesting Old Letter. Id lookiD^: over some old papers recently, Mr. E. G. Goforth, of Nealsville, found an interesting old letter written during the war by his uncle, the late C. C. Goforth, to his father, John E. Goforth. The writer, C. C. Goforth, be longed to Wade Hampton’s Corps, Barringer’s brigade, Cowles’ regi ment, and was a member of Capt. J. C. Blair’s company, 1st regi ment N. C. Cavalry. He was well known in'-this cbunty, where he is survived by many relatives, Mrs. Nannie Groyne oMhis place being a daughter of Mr. Goforth. The letter, written over 52 years ago, reads in part as follows: “Sept. 24th, 1864. “Dear Brother:—As I have a little idle time, I again embrace the opportunity of dropping you a few lines, informing you that through the.grace and mercy of God I am still in the land of the living and in better health than at any previous time since coming to Virginia. I hope these few lines may have a speedy conveyance and find you all enjoying a full portion of God’s blessings. Things have been quiet since the "Hampton Raid’, as it is called, an account of which you no doubt have seen be fore now. You can get more of the particulars from the papers than I could give you, although I was along. Our regiment was not I engaged in any fighting, the first time that when there was fighting to our regiment escaped. Our brigade is considered the best fight ing brigade in the Confederate service and the 1st North Carolina is said to be the best on a charge. It was no doubt thought so, for the position we were sent to was most dangerous. “There was about four brigades alnng in the raid. We went from camp west of Reams Wednesday around south of the enemy in a circular route, keeping everything still from the Fankees. Thursday we stopped and rested and took a nap. At 11 o’clock that night we were awakened by our officers (the bugle was not allowed to be blown as usual) and we started on ouf march at midnight. We marched 15 miles by daylight when the charge was made, part charging the camps of two battalions guard ing beef cattle. They had a pretty sharp little fight but succeeded in capturing everything. And at the same time we charged the pickets of the main force, our brigade and a Virginia brigade capturing most of them, then pushing on and cap turing the picket reserve camp. Most of the men got away but all their camp equipment fell into our hands. Our brigade was behind in the charge, consequently we did not see the fun. The object was then to keep the main force in check until the spoils coufd be re moved. We immediately took a Administrator’s Notice. Having qualified as administrator of “the estate of JohnH. Simmons, deceased, «11 persons holding claims against said ^tate are hereby notified to file them with the undersigned on or before the ^5th day of Feb. 1917, or this notice will he plead in bar of the recovery of the ^xne.

Mta,Can. position, threw up good breast works and waited for the Yankees but they were so badly frightened that they did not attack us soon. Leaving out with the cattle, we marched some20 miles unmolested, when the Yankees ran down the plank road and tried to cut us off. A Virginia brigade again met them and kept them back. We return ed to camp Saturday and got the cattle some twelve miles east of Petersburg. “It is uncertain when we will have any more fighting to do. If the enemy makes an attempt to advance of course we will fight, but don’t think we wi!l attack them in their present position for awhile. There was another hard fight in the valley but I don’t much about the particulars. A great many of the soldiers are very tired of the war and think our prospects for independence soon very dark. For my part I would, be glad if it could be wound up now, honorably. It goes hard with me to be way from my family. I want to get home this fall but don’t know how it will be yet. C. C. Goforth.” “The Birth of a Nation.” This eighth wonder of the world comes to the Auditorium, Asheville, for three nights beginning Thursday night, Feb rnary 34th, with a matinee Friday and Saturday. The seat sale will open Tues day. Money orders or checks on Ashe ville banks will have immediate atten tion. Cutain will rise at 8:15 nights and 3 p. m. matinees. This will be the last time this wonderful spectacle will be seen within 100 miles of Asheville this season. The prices will range from 25c to $1.00 at matinee and 50c to $2.00 at all night performances. “The Birth of a Nation” brings forth D. W. Griffith’s wonderful new art of pictorialized spectacle with music. The first half of the production, which was susfgested by Thomas Dixon’s ^*The Clansman,” exhibits the salient events of the War between the States. The formation of the Confederacy; Lincoln’s call for troops; Sherman’s march to the sea; the battle of Petersburg; Lee’s sur render to Grant; and the awful tragedy of Lincoln’t assassination at Ford’s Thea tre, April 14th, 1865, live before the spectator in the Griffith Drama. In the second half the South’s “Second Up- riMng”—this time against the carpet bagger regime—is shown in a thrilling story of Reconstruction days. The ro mance of the ‘ ‘Little Confederate Co lonel,” Ben Cameron with the Northern er Elsie Stoneman, and that of the Un ionist Captain, Phil Stoneman with Mar garet Cameron, the South Carolina Las sie, maintain t\yo threads of continuous love-interest throughout the story. But the great out-of-doors is Mr, Grif fith’s special field. Tremendous battle scenes and the wild rides of the Ku Klux Clansmen are staged with thousands of participants. Eighteen thbtLsand actors and three thousand horses were em ployed in the making of the picture, which cost half a million dollars and took eight months to produce. Some idea of its immensity is gained from the fact that there are no less than 5,000 distinct and individual scenes. On the musical side Mr. Griffith at tempted what was previously unheard of in connection with motion pictures. This was the synchronizing of a com plete symphonic score with the appear ances of the important characters and the enactment of the principal scenes This magnificent instrumental music is played by a large orchestra of thirty musicians. The Best Recommendation. The strongest recommendation any article may receive is the recommenda tions of those who have used it that makes Chamberlains’ Cough Remedy so popular. Mrs. Amanda Gierhart, Way- nesfield, Ohio, writes, “Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has been used in my family off and on for twenty years and it has never failed to cure a cough or cold.” Obtainable everywhere. Twenty-five million pounds of dynamite were used for agricultu ral purposes in this country last year. Something Good. Those who hate nasty medicine should t^ Chamberlain’s Tablets for constipa tion. They are pleasant to take and their effect is so agreeable and so na tural that you will not realize that it has been produced by a medicine. Ob tainable everywhere. OH! MY BACKI The Ex'pression of Many a Kidney Sufferer in Marlon. A stubborn backache is cause to sus pect kidney trouble. When the kid neys are inflamed and swollen, stooping brings a sharp twinge in the small of the back, that almost takes the breath away. Doan’s Kidney Pills revive slug gish kidneys — relieve aching backs. Here’s Marion proof: C. C. Boone, blacksmith, State St., Marion, savs* “My kidneys acted ir regularly and were weak. My back aehM and it waS hard forme to straigh ten after stooping. I got Doan’s Kid ney Pills at Streetman’s Drug Store and they fixed me up all right, stopping the pains and regulating the action of my kidneys.” (Statement given February 19, 1912 ) DOAN’S ALWAYS EFFECTIVE. Over Two Years Later, Mr. Boone said: Wheneyer my back starts hurt ing me, I take Doan’s Kidney Pills and they give me quick relief.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t sim ply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Boone has twice publicly recommended. Fos- ter-MilburnCo., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. Notice!
