TELEPHONE NO. 168 WEDNESDAY ...pril 20, 1898 HAD ft HIS FEELING Veterans of War Say Fight ing Is Not a Picnic- GOVERNOR TYLER S FBI BS If He Ran to See the Holes the Shells Had Made In the Ground Rev Dr. Lalferty Tells of Some of His war Experiences. From the Richmond Times. Persons who have served In the army and have been in battle, as a rule, wish to avoid fighting if they can il'j so with honor. "I remember very well that those who were most anxiuus for war in 1S61 were not to be seen when fighting act ually commenced," said a battle-scarred veteran yesterday. "And I sus pect that those who are now trying to bring on hostilities with Spain will, if war comes, leave the fighting to be done by those who have advocated peace. War is a fearful thing. The young men who are anxious for an opportunity to win glory and renown If they go to battle will wish they were far away from shot and shell, Is a man afraid to go to battle? This question is a very appropriate one at this time. Governor Tyler, who was a trallnnt soldier was asked to answer it. "I always felt when I went into a light that I would be killed," he frankly replied. "Of course a man when he faces danger is uneasy. It is not cowardice, but a fellow doesn't want to die. He will fight all right but the truth is he would rather be out of reach of shot and shell than in a position where his life might be tak en from him in a moment." THE GOVERNOR'S EXPERIENCE. The Governor, was asked to tell nh'tnt the first buttle has w;l.h in. "Whet' a youth and before I volunteered I had my first experience under fire," he re plied. "I was at the battle of Fred ericksburg and I was with my father. The enemy fired upon General Early's forces and the shells struck the ground not far from us. I ran to the spot to see how big a whole had been made in the ground. My father warned me that I was within the range of the guns and I made tracks away from ti : I SIill." Did you get use to seeing men killed and wounded? "In a certain sense I did. Of course. I saw many of them. But It Is a fear ful thing and I don't think any one would ever get so used to It he would not be affected by the groans of the dying." "Did I get scared?" asked Mr. Wil liam Snellings. who participated in pome seventeen battles. "I should say I did. The man who says he was not shaky," when he went into a fight is handling flie truth eurolesslv. The oftener a man Is under fire the cooler he becomes but everyone In every battle has a mighty nervous feeling." HE HAD THAT FEELINCi, TOO. Col. "Hob" Northen fought his first battle at Seven Pines. "I ;im ready to admit that my feeling was not a com fortable one," he said. "It Is enough to make any one tremble when he realizes that in one second a bullet may end his existence. Certainly, a fellow gets somewhat used to battle Just as he gets accustomed to chewing tobacco and drinking whisky. They make him sick at tirsl lull he can stand the effect better after a while. War is terrible and I am not hanker ing after another battle. "Yes. I was in battle." said Mr. Cus. R Delante, "and I assure you it is not a pleasant position for anyone. I would fight again If necessary but I am not one of those who think tightins; Is a picnic." AS DH. LAFFEKTY VIEWS IT. "It is not a task of easy discharge to tell of personal behavior under lire for the hist or last time, said Rev. Dr. J. J. I,afferty. "There may have been men coot as a cucumber. They were never in my neighborhood, when there was 'music in the air. The soldiers nn der my eye had a lively sense of their environments and ot the danger of meddling with cold Iron' or warm lead. "As to myself. I was not contented. I never thought Jhat I would be hit. Get ting captured was the harm I dreaded. .. I was usually more concerned aboue be ing thrown by my mare, (for she used . to walk around on her hind legs like a member of Congress, when the 'zip' of the bullets got to buzzing) than be- ing knocked out of the saddle. She -via a nervous creature, high strung Slaughter Flekllng Rtnelr. out of old Bennett, and when a shell turned Inside out, she monopolized my attention by her exertion to Imitate a Pegasus by rising and remaining In the upper air. ff'n I reckon I passed frr a calm person for the reason you get a baby's best photo by taking his mind off this seri ous business. "It Is all 'leather and prunella' about t men? Indifference to danger. The peo ple who didn't care, if their skulls were perforated during an engagement, never associated with me. It seems at this distance of time, that the restless depression, the nadir of courage was watching the skirmish line retreating before the advancing enemy. The cer tainty of a battle took hold on you. The .question: How will It end flashed through the mind and fevered every nerv Physical movement stimulated courage. The crack' of your own rifle Inspired you. . The rattlt of the mus ketry of your own ranks elated. A wild ardor to beat the foe seised the brain. The appreciation ot danger nearly vanished. It was a common thing for men to be surprised at the blood from unfelt wounds. "To a raw recruit, a wounded picket is a 'skeery sight After a first battle a dead man or a disabled one was a matter of course. The plentiful corpses seldom drew attention. A mashed fin ger in an iron mill will excite the fel low workmen more today than a barn full of bloody men taking turns with the surgeons in 1864. A GETTYSBURG INCIDENT. "At Gettysburg, I rode with Major Locke beyond the line of battle, passed, as 1 recall It, between the Twenty-fifth and Thirty-first Virginia Regiments, to get a good look at the other fellows, an college, I think, as you stand at Cashtown. tlap. Our horses were bit ing some growth over the fence. Cer tain sharpshooters had crowded through a wheat field. They mistook us for generals. Two of them rose, levelled and tired before you could say 'Jack Robinson.' 1 slightly ducked my head in the effort to catch the loose reins and the lead went into a sapling on the plane of my cranium. Locke's marks man, as usual, In a hurry shot too high, cutting a twig that fell on his hat. The nearness (thirty yards), and the sud denness, the stream of fire sent in our directions, disturbed us, and we were, like the logician of the Arkansas Leg islature (whose diaphram was curved 'inwardly, and outward' after the fashion of the plates of the Maine), by a specimen of 'old red sandstone,' un concerned, for the balance of the day, as to the further tactics of General Meade. This affair would have evoked much talk In 1861, didn't elicit interest in our camp, so familiar had veterans become to such matters. Nerves lose insolation, carry scant current. Fight ing goes on with a sense of danger, but not with flutter of the valves of blood pump. Man slowly becomes a machine for killing. And for this reason I re utter the recent weighty words of a great citizens, ex-Senator George F. Kdmunds. of Vermont: "War Is one of the greatest evils, and is usually the greatest of crimes.' " IS1-YCI.E HEART. From the British Medical Journal. Several well known French cyclists have lately, it is said, been rejected a unlit for military service by reason of hypertrophy and other diseases of the heart. Medical men will be rather surprised that the numbers are so small. There must be few of us who have not seen the ill-effects of over-exertion on a hi i ycle. Tiie commonest is palpitation and temporary dilation: but even this if sometimes very difficult to cure. In a rase which occurred recently a lady or dered for a fortnight's change of air after inlluetiza, chose to spend it in bicycling aluillt fifty miles a day. As a result, she has had. ever since that lime- now nine months ago-a pulsi which on the least exertion rises to VI" though she lias not ridden again. That temporary dilution occurs is enough ti siiow tiie great strain put upon tin heart, ami it is an added danger that the sense of fatigue in the limbs is so slight. The rider is thus robbed of the warning to which he is accustomed ti a: tend, and repeats or continues the strain upon the heart. As in other simi lar cases, the effect is to render that dilation permanent, which was at tirst but temporary, and to cause an increase ll tiie muscle of the heart by repeated exertion. The heart produced is id' largt dimensions and of thick walls a condi tion which may, perhaps, give little un easiness to its owner, but which may perhaps, give little uneasiness lo its owner, hut which a medical man will view with considera ble distrust ami apprehension. Week ly and elderly people cannot be tot often told that no exercise is more easily abused, though if taken in sen sible measure few are more healihfu' or enjoyable. l'iU A ST 1 1 A 1 1 ' T IT FHU'T.

It is patent to ail that Butler is up to the same sort of game again, and he is pprhaps working Mr. Bryan this time to accomplish his ends. SPANISH SPIES STRIKE SANFOftD. From the Sanford Express. Last Friday at noon a party of for eigners drove in town from towards Carthage. They claimed to he evnsies and soon attracted a crowd who listen ed to them as they Jabbered to each other In a foreign language. The party consisted of men women and children. iney were of dark swarthy complex Ion and looked like Spaniards or Ital ians. They were traveling in buggies and wagons and carried their tents, beds and cooking utensils and other things necessary for camping out. It could not be learned whv thev wnm strolling around over the country and it nan oeen suggested that they may have been Spanish SDles. After re maining here a short time they left go ing in a norineriy direction. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAT . Take Laxative Brmo Quinine Tablets All druggists refund the mnnev if It rails to cure. 25c. The renulno hu I. B Q on each tablet LAW vs. MORALS. From the Sylva Democrat. We are of the opinion thai before the acceDtance of the resignation Mr. Caldwell had the legal right to with draw the same.The question of moral right is a different one but as mat rarely, if ever, enters into the consider ation of Governor Russell or any of the Die hunting brigade that now domi nates the good old State of North Car olina, it would seem aerrectiy useless to discuss that aspect of the case. This sauabble between Governor kus- sell and Chairman Caldwell Is only an other instance of the utter unfitness of the whole concern that now sways political power In this State, to give the people a decent and clean govern ment. Russell's administration, so far, has been a succession of broils and strife, dog-biting and cat-fighting be tween a heterogeneous mass of scurvy politicians in a series of encounters over plunder and spoils. From the be ginning the Governor, established him self autocrat and it seems to be his chief delight to make all men bow to his imperious will. In this case it is only another exemplification of the homely maxim of dog eat dog. and is another one of those things calculated to restore reason to the people and a return of our State government into the hands of decent white men. TWO BIG JOKES. From Scotland Neck Commonwealth. The Commonwealth thinks jokes are rather dangerous in their tendencies, and s seldom even repeats them atter others: but we have caught the whiff of two political Jokes for North Caro lina, that we venture to report. One is, that some Democrats have actually approached Governor Russell and suggested to him the happy (?) combination of a national ticket with William Jennings Bryan for President and Daniel Russell for Vice-President! The other joke is, that William Jen nings Bryan has written to some one in North Carolina and asks that Ine press of the State let up on Marion Cutler! Now, both these statements strike us as extremely jocular. The idea that my Democrat in North Carolina should suppose the possibility of Dan Russell going on a. presidential ticket is cer 'ainlv too absurd to be entertain 'd for 1 moment. Whoever could belie ve such 1 tring doubtless does not know that the war is over (not the war with pain) and is a veritable Hip Van Winkle. And as to the press of the State be ;ng asked to let up on Butler one can scarcely believe that a man of intelll ;ence outside of Butler's own party ouid make such request. If Mr. Bry in has made such request he certainly does not know llutli r's standing be fore the Democratic party in this Sla'e. OVERHAULING THE NANTl'CKET. Froiii tie' Wilmington Dispatch. The old monitor Nantucket was brought over late Saturday afternoon from the mud bank on which slip has been resting on the west side of the river.
