Mr. Editor, its very gratifying to
me to be able' to write these lines,
though they 11133- not be -of much in
terest to the readers of the Post
Dispatch, but will say what we have
'to say about what we have seen and
learned.
We hear of so many car crashes
;that its getting almost unnoticeable ;
I but the people will say did any one
I get hurt? The answer will be, "yes,
i got one arm and leg broke and head
fractured," Oh that was bad and
i that's all so common.
I Well, the worst is yet to coiut.
Some will learn and some will not,.
The law is "slow up at the crossing,'
but instead some get faster and
crash !
As usual everything is very quiet
at this Roberdel and if the people
can't make full time they take care
of what they make. They are care
ful and not run to death with debt
like they are at other mills. The peo
ple at this Rooerdel have ni:mey af
ter Monday. They do not ride it out
like they do in other places. Jr, be
hooves all to take care of their hard
earnings. Some waste what they
make and then say the company don't
! pay. I say the company will pay
j you for all you do, but not for loafing
or throwing away your earnings.
J Our Sabbath School at this place
j is very good and all worth counting
j go. Some people will be nothing
matters not what- opportunities they
have.
We have visiting the people of this
vicinity from Charlotte Mr. Childres
and son and daughter; Mrs. LeGrand
and children of Charlotte are visiting
her mother, Mrs. M. K. jGibson. Sor
ry to learn of the illness of Mrs. Cop
pedge who got hurt in wreck. Hope
she will soon be better. She is loved
by all.
Its interesting to hear those fel
lows tell of the good times they had
on their trip over fifty counties; they
had a good time. They tell of the
fine crops where they have been.
Mr. Ruffin preached a very inter
esting sermon and spoke of many in
teresting things. Says he had a very
interesting meeting up the country
where he has been helping a brother.
Miss Annie Marks sang so delightful
ly. I want to learn if I can take les
sons. We will be short as we are short of
news.

term of his Senior year to volunteer
for active duty). On June 27, 1863,
Rodes' division reached Carlisle,
Penn., the town farthest North ever
occupied by any Confederate troops,
and occupied the U. S. Barracks
there. Large supplies of cattle, pro
visions were obtained there, and on
the march, but no private property
of any citizen was forcibly taken.
In' his official report, Gen. Rodes
stated that the good behavior of his
troops "astonished the people along
the lire of march.
geenrally expected to be treated by
us with the wanton cruelty generally
exhibited by their troops when they
are upon our soil." This official tes
timony as to the conduct of Confed
erate troops when on the enemy'.-
soil should -be a source of pride to
every Southerner.
ours in range, calibre and quality.
We. sent 11,000 men across . a e'eared
mile and a quarter field, wich the
Yanks massed by the thousands at
the top of Cemetery ' Hill, behind
stone and earthern" earthworks. The
picture of this assault is sickening;
no, there was never a chance. But
the men of Pickett-Pettigrew's divi
sions did make that charge, and over
70 men actually got through that
storm of shot and shell, climbed over
the stonewall at the Bloody Angle and
one North Carolinan got 80 yards be
yond this wall before being shot
down! That is history; that is Norht
Carolina's claim to "farthest at Get
tysburg." ;
And now for Pickett's charge.

32nd Regiment Complimented
And while at Carlisle the 32nd N.
C. regiment was complimented out of
all the regiments in the Confederate
army, with the honor of being pre
sented and entrusted with th irst
flag made according to the design
adopted by the Confederate Congress
a few weeks previous. The tiag had
oeen made by Richmond ladies and
sent to Gen. Lee, who in turn was to
bestow it upon the regiment m st
worthy of receiving it. Gen. Lec
sent it to Lt.-Gen. Ewell (in com
mand of Stonewall Jackson's old
corps), and Gen. Ewell sent it to
Major-Gen. Rodes; the latter in turn
sent it to Brigadier-General Daniel
and he oidered it presented to his
32nd N. C. regiment! And it is this
flag flown by the 32nd N. C. that had
the honor of waving aloft further
north than any other Confederate
flag during the war.
Was It Pickett's Charge? 1
The now famous charge of the 11,-
These latter were j 000 Confederates the afternoon of
July 3rd, 1863, over a mile and a
quarter of cleared ; space against an
enemy heavily entrenched behind
stone walls and breastworks, is gener
ally known as "Pickett's" charge.
However, that is of small moment.
No matter from what state, the
charge surpassed the ; .immortal
"Charge of the Light Brigade." But
it should go down in history as the
Pickett-Pettigrew-Trimble charge, or
Longstreet's Assault, for 15 of the
participating regiments were from
North Carolina!
In fact, thero were no better troops
in any army than composed Petti
gre w's in which was the 2 6th regi
ment, with two companies from Cha
tham, one from Moore and one from
Anson. ':. - -
You recall that at Thermopolae
there were 300 Spartans, 700 Thes
pians and 300 Thebans. The latter
went over to the enemy, but the
Thespians died to a man at the pass
with the Spartans. -Yet for 24 cen
turies, Epic song and story have pre
served the memory of the Spartans,
while the Thespians are forgotten.
And so jerhaps with the Pickett's
Charge. But there was glory for all.

On to Harrisburg
This Rodes division reached Carlis
le June 27th, rested there two days,
and intended on the 30th to advance
on Harrisburg, the capital of Penn
sylvania. But in the meantime, Gen.
Lee changed his plans, decided that
his forces were too badly' scattered
(70,000 men over a 100-mile area),
and ordered a concentration in the
vicinity of Gettysburg. Rodes march
ed on the 30th 22 miles to Harris
burg, then next day to Gettysburg,
arriving shortly after, midday. But
in time to take part in the First Days'
fight.

heights of Cemetery Hill, Gulp's Hill
and the two Round Tops.

The Message from the Dead
The second days' fighting was most
ly favorable to our side. The fierc
est fighting took place in attacking
Jthe so-called Culp's Hill, on the nor
thern end 01 the enemy s range of de
fences. And it was in this attack
that the immortal lines ol t3ol. Isaac
Erwin Avery, of Morganton, were
Farthest at Gettysburg
All my life I, have heard the
"First at Bethel, Farthest to the
Front at Gettysburg, and Last at Ap
pomattox." And here at Gettysburg you can
see certain tablets in bronze erected
by the Federal Park Commission,
locating the position and statine tlMJ
services of Hoke's brigade on the
second day, and Pettigrew's on the
third day which amply vindicate the
justness of this claim. The first
shows where Hoke's brigade charged
Culp's "Hill," wnere Col. Isaac Avery
was killed. The second reads, "July
3. In Longstreet's assault this (Pet
tigrew's) brigade occupied the right
center of the division and the course
of the charge brought it in front of
tbe stone wall north of the Angle and
SO yards further East!"

Scattered over the battlefield are
around ,500 monuments and markers.
The U. D. C have' raised $10,000, and
the last Legislature donated $50,000,
to erect a suitable monument on this
battlefield to the memory of the sol
diers from North Carolina. A com
mittee visited the battlefield this
week to finally select the site but
when I was there in early July, I was
shown the spot that had been tenta
tively selected. This is beside one
of the many hard-surfaced roads or
streets that run through the Park ;
it is at the foot of Culp's Hill, 'at
the northern end of the battlefield,
and is where Hoke's men fought so
valiantly. A very fine site, it seems
to me. Despite the: awe-inspiring'
heights of Culp's Hill, our North
Carolina t?oops came marVelously
near in their effort to turn Gen.
Meade's right flank. In fact, there
is a spring (from which I had
to drink) around which the troops
of both sides fraternized during the
night of July 1st and 2nd. The
spring nestles in a clum of rocky
boulders on the side of Culp's Hill.

London-Bynum Wounded
Capt. W. L. London was in com
mand of a company of sharpshooters,
in this second day's fight Culp's Hill,
and was badly wounded. In this
company was Mr. A. J. Bynum, of
Pittsboro, (father of our townsman,
Fred. W. Bynum), and he too was
wounded right there a bullet in the
knee that was not extracted until it
worked itself out 20 years later!
The Third Days' Battle
And now comes the third days'
battle, and the "turning point of the
Confederacy." The Federals were
massed upon .. Cemetery Hill, Cuip s
Hill and Little and Big Roundtop. As
a matter of fact the two roundtops
and Culp's Hill are not hills or high
elevations; on the contrary, they are
steep mountains slopes, and the
very idea of any set of men thinking
they could capture them seems ridi
culous. It was never anything but
a forlorn hope.
Insofar as the charge on the third
day by Pickett's men against Ceme
tery Hill, there was never a chance.
The Federal cannon outnumbered
Sip Hart's Heroism
And now as I leave the subject of
the Gettysburg battle," and next week
speak of Washington and its sur
roundings, I will close with a refer
ence to Rockingham's oldest citizen
E. S. Hart, more generally known as
"Sip." Mr.-Hart is about 94 years
old, and is hale and hearty, walking
up town (a mile Jfrom his home )
wheneve rhe chooses.
At the battle of Spottsylvania
Courthouse May 12, 1864, the 23rd
reghnent took a prominent part. In
Grant threw 20,000 men- against a
front held by Gen. R. ' D. Johnston
with only 2000. In this battle, fight-
ing took place ' hand to hand. : Sip
Hart was flag bearer for the 23rd
regiment, and again and again rush
ed forward with the colors, which
never for a moment were lowered ex
cept when Sip was felled by a
elubbed musket , in the hands of a
stalwart Tank. , : , "
Among the captured in , this fight
was Capt. A. D. Cole, of Co. A. 23rd.
He with Lts. Coggin and Bullock,
were sent by the Federals in a bunch
01 buu vonieaeraie oincers w ue un
der the Confederate, fire at Charles
ton for several weeks in 1864, and
to endure the horrible tortures in
flicted upon them by starvation at
Port Royal a little later. The stint
of a gill a day of spoiled meat and
pickle on which they fed for 40 days
ended by killing Lt. Coggin, and
bringing -Capt. Cole to death's door
a poor climax to three years of
gallant service in the field.
