" Distinguished Confederate firl : adier Oeneral Writes Interest InjS Letter to Gaston Veteran Holds the Old Twenly-Elihth In Fond Bemembrance. ' Mr. R. .W.' Carson received a few days ago a letter from Gen. James If. Lane, who was one of the Confederacy's ' brave and gallant brigadier-generals during the civil war.

'.; Following is the letter: Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Ala. July 13, 1907. Mr. Rufus W. Carson, . Gastonia, N. C. , My Dear Sir I was glad to bear from you, as I . always am from any of the brave men I had the honor to command in so many battles. The old 28th especially will "always have a warm spot in my heart. I hope all of its survivors, wherever theyjtnay be, are prosperous and happy. Kindly remember me to Col. Morris and others who may be living near you. For an old man; I enjoyed good health until recently, when I had an attack that deprived me partially of the use of my right leg and arm. My kind doctor says it is " a warrant of co-ordi nation," and that my recover will be very slow. My arm has improved more rapidly tnan my leg. . I was anxious to attend the reunion in Richmond, but could not do so on account of college duties and physical dis ability. After my long service in this institution twenty-five' years its board ol trustees did me the honor to retire me as an "Emeritus Professor" on half pay. At first it made me sad to think that my life's work is done, but I am becoming better reconciled. I write with diffi culty now and very slowly. My walking is slow and uncer tain though I use a cane. Wish ing you long life, prosperity and unalloyed happiness, I am Sincerely your friend, James H. Lane. Gen. James H. Lane, Profes sor of .Civil Engineering atid Drawing. Moore Cotton Mill.
