Lightning Hits Two
Negro Homes Here
Lightning during the thunder
storm Thursday night struck two
homes in the Negro section of
Mount Olive, causing light damage.
A bolt of lightning set curtains
and shades on fire in the home of
Bryant Plymouth, but a son quick
ly extinguished the blaze with
water before serious damage re
sulted. Another lightning bolt
struck Ben Howard’s home, caus
ing minor damage.
Telephone and electric services
in some homes were disrupted for
several days.
YANKEES

ision known as the Army of the
Mississippi, moved into the little
village on the Wilmington and
Weldon railroad to set up his
camp. Here at Mpunt Olive he
would await completion 'of repairs
to the road that would bring him
supplies and recruits from Wil
mington. In the meantime, wagon
trains would come from Kinston
with necessities and new outfits.
Here, at Mount Olive, General Kil
patrick would rest from his bat
tles; count his gains and losses;
set up a hospital tent and allow
his sick and injured to be treated;
here too, he would bury his dead—
all who died in the hospital tent Of
sickness and wounds incurred be
fore reaching Jhis place. Here he
would quarter his hqrses, not just
the regular cavalry horses, but
great droves of work animals that
his forces had Swept before them
from every pasture and barn they
had pasteed on their destructive
route up from the South. And here,
he would put into effect his new
est orders! But, that is another
chapter.
Headquarters
There is reason to believe that
some of the wagon trains began
arriving in Mount Olive on March
22 bearing sick and wounded from
Averysboro and Bentonville, for
there is authentic record that one
Private George E. Burbank of the
10th Wisconsin Battery of Light
Artillery died of disease here on
that date—and is buried here—on
the very day that Sherman entered
Goldsboro. But there are other
records that show the 10th Wis
consin Battery of Artillery under
the Command of Captain Yates V.
Beebee did not reach Mount Olive
until March 24th, at which time
Major General Kilpatrick, with
other regiments, arrived.
As the main force of this army
entered Mount Olive they were at
once converged on the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Lemuel W. Kornegay,
where General Kilpatrick and staff
informed Mrs. Kornegay that they
were taking over her home as their
“headquarters.” They next instruct
ed her to have a meal prepared
for them This order was passed oa
by Mrs. Kornegay to her servants
but when the meal was announced
that lady was further affronted by
being told she was required to
come to the table and eat some of
every dish that had been prepared!
With all the dignity that she could
muster she complied with this de
mand. At length, the officers, con
vinced the food cantained nothing
that would impair their health,
summarily dismissed Mrs. Korne
,gay and consumed the food them
selves! 'About this time Mrs. Kor
negay either expressed the desire
to stay with relatives or friends
elsewhere,during the occupation of
hgr home, or the Yankee officers
decreed it. But the meal must have
been very satisfactory, or perhaps
General Kilpatrick now wished to
assume the (for him) new role of a
“gracious benefactor” ... as the
beginning of a metamorphosis be1
was to undertake before leaving
Mount Olive ... at all events he
is said to have now assured Mrs.
Kornegay that her home would not
be destroyed that she could take
her valuables and personal be
longings with her, and leave in her
carriage . . . furthermore, she was
afforded a military Escort to assure
her safe travel through a country
side now oyerrun by detachments
of soldiers, bummers and strag
glers. It may here be added that
General Kilpatrick remained true
to his word: the Kornegay home
was not destroyed and when the
Yankees departed Mrs. Kornegay
returned to live out her days in
the historic old house. j
The location of the Lemuel W.
Kornegay home in March of 1865
could be described today as about
the middle of the city block now
bounded by W. Colleget, N. Chest
nut and W. John streets and Brea
zeale avenue. It faced south-west
j wardly to a point on' the public
! road about where W. John street
and Breazeale avenue (Highway
117) now cross. A commodious, one
story dwelling at that time, it was
the largest and finest house on the
west side of the railroad. A long
lane led up to it from the Old
Mill Path which bisected the Kor
negay plantation and was the chief
road leading northwestwardly from
the village. In later years this
house, with a second story addi
tion, faced for a time the present
corner of W. John and N. Chest
nut . streets before being turned
completedly around and made to
face West College street, where
it stands today.
Camp Site
While Yankee officers were mak
ing themselves at home in the Kor
negay residence, troops under their
command were engaged in setting
up camp in the pine woods that
then covered the greater part of
all the land that forms the western
half of Mount Olive as we know
it today.
Beginning at a point where
Wooten street and W. Main street
now converge near the high school,
and running eastwardly to hear
the present location of the Presby
terian church, then northwardly
along the aforementioned Old Mill
Path, for “considerable area” the
tents were pitched.
It was wet that Spring of 1865
and the Yankees took precaution
to dig encircling trenches around
each tent, mounding the dirt with
in. As late as the year 1919 these
Yankee tent-sites could still be
seen in the vicinity of Robert
street between W. James and W.
John streets for the land here was
never cleared, in the accepted
sense of the word. After the great
pines had been bled for turpentine

remained, just a “cut-over” wood

Records
From records and data in the
possession of the writer it is indi
cated that, before leaving Mount
Olive, Major General Kilpatrick
had gathered together his forces to
an aggregate of 9,223 men; 253
commissioned officers, 42 non-com
missioner staff of reg.; 11 hospital
Stewarts; 774 sergeants; 750 cor
porals; 100 musicians; 7944 pri
vates. There were 135 companies.
Three officers and 45 men were
reported sick.
Brevet Brigidier General Thomas
J. Jordan was in charge of the
first Brigade; Brevet Brigidier
General Smith D. Atkins was in
the Second Brigade. The Third Bri
gade was commanded by an offi
cer named Spencer, but his full
name and title is not discernible.
And, as previously stated, Captain
Yates >V. Beebee was in command
of the artillery.
Some other officers whose names
can still be made out include: Maj.
L. G. Estes, assistant Adjutant
General; Quartermaster Major G.
E. Dunbar; Surgeon S. C. Walker;
Capt. Charles H. Fatton, 3rd Bat
talion Indiana Cavalry; 1st Lieuten
ant W. G. Weidenger, 16th U. S.
Infantry; Maj. Clinton Woten (or
Walen), in command of 96th Illi
nois M.I., E. R. Dunn, Wm. H.
Davis and E. M. Hayes, all captains
in the 10th Ohio Volunteers.
Records of some of General Kil
patrick’s “losses” also reveal the
names of other regiments in his
command: John Boal, captain, 9th
Pennsylvania Cavalry, killed in ac
tion; Clinton Simmons, lieutenant,
?th Indiana, killed in action; Lieu
tenant W. D. Wechell and Lieuten
ant Amos N. Griffin, both of the
5th Kentucky Cavalry, killed in
Action; while Lieutenant A. T. Ham
ilton of the 9th Ohio Volunteers
died of wounds or disease. While
we have not obtained authentic
1 record of just where he died it is
believed that he was one of the
several known to have died in the
hospital tent here and to have been
buried here in Mount Olive.
Route
One officer under General Kil
patrick gave a brief account of the
route his particular force followed
in order to arrive at Mount Olive:
“ . . March 1st, the Brigade was
encamped at Taylor’s Crossroads,
in Lancaster district, S. C. March
2nd, took up line of march, con
tinued day after day with no fight
ing of importance until on the
morning of the 4th had severe
skirmishing North of Chesterfield
C. H.. which was continued until
we reached the Peedee River, which
we crossed on the Pontoon Bridge
of our infantry. We then moved up
the river and passed through Rock
ingham towards Fayetteville, fight
ing continually until we reached
that place (on the 12th of March)
and found the enemy had evacuat
ed. After resting until the 15th,
moved out towards Raleigh, N. C.,
in advance of our infantry. 16th,
fought Battle of Averysboro, 10th
at Battle of Bentonville, then mov
ed on to Mount Olive on the Golds
boro and Wilmington railroad
where we arrived on the 24th, and
remained in camp during the
month of March.”

The above report was only for
the month of March but other rec
ords indicate that a considerable
number of these regiments, if not
the entira command under General
Kilpatrick, remained in Mount Ol

UNION LEADERS
ARE DODGING THE ISSUE
IN THE TELEPHONE STRIKE
f
They are issuing a lot of misleading statements
about the company's position on arbitration.
These statements don't check with the facts.
Look at these facts
Ever since we've had a contract with the union, the true intent and mean- j
ing of every provision of every agreement between the company and *
the union has been subject to arbitration.
BEFORE THE STRIKE STARTED
BEFORE THE STRIKE STARTED, Southern Bell proposed that any disci
plinary action resulting from violations of the no-strike clause demand
ed by the company would be subject to arbitration.
BEFORE THE STRIKE STARTED, Southern Bell proposed that all suspen
sions of employees, regardless of the cause, would be subject to arbi
tration.
In spite of what union leaders have said, the truth is that BEFORE THE
STRIKE STARTED, Southern Bell proposed full and complete arbitration
on every type of discipline that could be imposed under the new con
tract.
In fact, not only all discipline but practically every other item in the
new contract proposed by the company BEFORE THE STRIKE STARTED
was made subject to arbitration. The only items on which no arbitration
is available under the company proposal are the pension plan, leaves
of absence, company compliance with health, safety and fire protection
laws and demotions and discharges during trial periods-matters
which the union and the company have agreed over the years of col
lective bargaining should not be left to the final decision of an arbitra
tor. This is all a responsible union should want.
BUT THIS UNION WANTS STILL MORE
They are going so far as to demand that an arbitrator be called in now
to decide WHAT THE TERMS OF THE NEW CONTRACT SHALL BE. He
would, in effect, write a whole new contract and his decision would
be final.. There his responsiblity ends.
Southern Bell's management is charged with the sole responsibility for
providing communications services in the area the company serves. It
cannot surrender that responsibility to others. Our obligation under the
law cannot be delegated. We must retain the right to make the final
decisions essential to the sound and effective management of this pub
lic service^ *
The issue in this strike is simple and clear — will union leaders live up
to a contract once it 4s signed?
Southern Bell guarantees good wages, good working conditions and
other benefits. In return it asks only that union leaders agree not to dis
rupt services to the public by strikes while the contract is in force. ,
This they refuse to do on any reasonable basis. They still demand the
right to call workers off the jobs whenever it suits their purposes, while
the contract is in effect. They want the contract to be binding on the
company but'not on them.
