Hollowell Tells of His Trip to the Confederate Reunion In Ills Own Original Way, Editor Argus: I am just back from "The Land by Orange Blossoms Shad ed where Sammer ever lingers on the air" and I take this method of thank ing my friends who generously con tributed the funds to give your "Uncle Bill" an outing. Thank you all. I boarded the train here Sunday night, in the language of Bill, Robin son, Solus, Alone, for I believe I was the only Goldsboro man that attended the grandest reunion of United Con federate Veterans ever held, went to Wilson and changed to the .Short-Cut, and aboard of a flyer shot through without stops and arrived at Jackson ville the next day at 2 o'clock. ; The trip was a pleasant one, barring one little incident that for the time did a little upset me. It was in this wise: When I got aboard I took a seat in a coach marked "white", filled, or par tially so with white men. Pretty soon I coiled up on the seat (occupied by me alone) and went to sleep.) I did not awake until next morning about 4 o'clock, near Charleston. When I awoke I found I was in a coach mark ed "colored," and my only travelling companion, was a negro woman. Here is where the mystery was, I knew it was a white coach when I entered altogether white, not like Capt. Jack Collier's train when a chalk! mark across the floor is all there is 'to dis tinguish a Jim Crow car from j a first class car for whites exclusively was dumfounded for a fact. I t?ll you Joe. uDOn the honor of a man, had not touched a drop. Well, I have al -ways contended that ghost sights and other mysterious happenings on:y needed to be investigated to clear them up, and I resolved that I would. incs tigate. I called to the conductor (who happened to be passing through) at the time) and asked him what was the matter, he seemed to be thunderstruck at my question, asked so seriously and said, "What do you mean?" l; told him,-1 went to sleep in North Carolina where every body believes that a white man is as good as a negro; even Col Baker used to say they were if they behaved themselves, and had I waked ud In South Carolina where I always understood thai, the same sentiment prevailed. Even Cole Blease, the pres ent Chief Magistrate, held to that be- .lief, for he said that no white man should ever be molested for killing one who committed C-.-!un crimes. (to which I -said amen); although he has nearly emptied the penitentiary by pardon, pardoning a negro convict and discharged the guard because the negro raised his hat to the Governor as he was passing, and the guard flogged him for it that in thej space ot a few hours, by some mysterious juggling, I had been turned to a negro placed in a Jim Crow car and given a negro woman as sole traveling com panion and I assured him I had not touched a drop. Well, Joe, he ex plained it all just as nice, as tbc Tin tfh man said, "as never wusl" He said that at Florence it became n. c essary to have a first class Jim Crow ""coach, so they covered the ( word "white" with the word "colored" -moved the white up a car, and he sup posed I was overlooked, being asleep .at the time. Now, Joe, this relieved my mind, the explanation was all sat isfactory, I thanked him, took my grip., bid my "companion good night and moved up and joined the boys again.! We arrived at Charleston about sun up. We were backed into the j depot, remained there a very short time, pulled out and sped away towards Sa vannah. I did not see Charleston, of course, as we only went as far as the depot, which i3 not strictly in the city. Where, 52 years ago, our command changed cars for Coosahotchie Station, betwen Charleston and Savannah, on a side track, with marshes all around, is now a manufacturing district, the majority of which are fertilizer : fac tories. I was anxious to see Old Coos ahotchi Station and ourcampof 52 years ago it was there just as it was then, only more so, as the Irishman would say: the most God forsaken looking place you ever saw, and I am about ready to apply the same remark to the whole line from Charleston to Savannah, and even on to the suburbs of Jacksonville how people live along the line I can't see." Where there used to be large bodies of land covered with long leaf pine, is now a barren waste. There is hardly pinel poles enough along the line to make, stack poles enough to hold the bay and fod der that could be raised on the same quantity of good land here, and what few there are, are boxed or cupped, for they use cups instead of cutting the box in the tree as of old time, have to for they are not large enough to cut a box in. Joe, they are trying to get turpentine out of trees so; small that I would not cut one of them if I :waa out looking for a tree to J make Roosevelt another big stick, too small. Now this is no joke, I saw trees boxed and being chipped not as large as Arnold Wright's leg, and in j some places they grow so sparsely that a man would have to dip over a mile square to get a bucket full. I thought, will this land ever be valuable !again. hardly; especially so if the predictions of some of the present day wiseacres are to become true, that in such and Riirh a vear, some ume in mt ue- future, the whole thing is to be wiped but; if, however, as scientists- tell' us the world is millions of years old and in all probability will remain mil lions of years to come; this particular section of country may become the garden spot. For the present it is out of business for a fact I thought what an easy job it would have been to have built the Panama Canal if they had just chosen this place for it, no cuts, no fills, simply a big ditch with no scarcity of water, for .in some places they have to bank up around the pond to keep the water in. (Continued from last Friday's paper.) Now, Joe, you may say that I am giving this section a black eye, not so, It had it before; I am just telling it, that those who have never seen it may know it, for I flatter myself in believing that no body believes me to be an Annias. j Well, Joe, I am- going to leave it for we are now at Jacksonville, inside of the surburbs and she is a city right named in honor of Old Hickory, and if he could rise up out of his grave he would feel proud of his namesake. She is a hustler It is, in fact, the metropolis of Florida and while it is not in the orange belt, (I sawl none growing), it is the key to that part of Florida that makes her noted, for oranges, grape fruit, citrons, pine apples, aligators, fish, etc., and now and then a good crop of northern health seekers who go there and leave, their money to build her up. It is a "great railroad center, a big city the largest I ever saw- I will not dispute your word if you say that London and New York Is larger, but you need not tell upon me to prove it. Her citizens, I they are always like they were dur- hg the reunion, are the biggest heart- Id people I ever was among. They have spared no pains, nor money to make this reunion the grandest ever held. At all times her people were out insisting that you get into their autos and take a spin in and around the city, all free it seemed to give them as much pleasure to ride you as did you to ride I had several rides out to the different parks and places of amusement. Joe, did you ever see an alligator? I went out to the Ostrich and Alligator farm I saw 50 or 60 ostrich, saw them nesting, saw them hatching, young ones in incubators and alligators I saw from a foot long, said to 'be one year old to 12 or 13 feet long said to be 250 years old; I did not find any one who could verify this for everybody said they did not see these old ones hatched, and I be lieve it,'-' : ' v.-"V ; : f :! Joe, I don't propose to-give Florida the black-eye, It is Georgia and South Carolina I have been speaking of, but I was asking a gentleman from down in the orange belt how the soil was; was. clay near the top in any placee or in fact was there any clay und Florida, he said he did not know, he had never been to China, there migttt be clay there and that it was said to be under Florida, that he thought; that if a man wanted clay from under Florida it would be cheaper to have it shipped over from China through the Panama Canal, than to undertake to dig for it, for it would be a d big lob to get it that way it might , be a shorter route but a more hazardous one. . Joe, I saw many things that are grand; the city Is just an ideal spot and I would Judge, a fine place to live at, if one had the means, but taking all in all, Joe, I did not come back fully impressed with the idea that it is my duty to sell my little home., humble though it be, and invest the proceeds in lands that I saw, especial ly in any that I saw from Charleston to the suburbs of Jacksonville, j I'll not do it; I'll live and die in the Old North State and board the chariot here at Goldsboro; for the only better place. Heaven, and pray for a success ful voyage. I have nothing but praise for the city and citizens of that grand city, Jacksonville. I Joe, I went because I wanted to go and because my friends wanted me to go; to them I am thankful for the opportunty. I wished to look up a lot of our folks that had gone out there ! and settled. I saw some, but it is no. small job to find a man in a city of 100,000 citizens augmented with 100,000 visi tors, it was said there were that many there; but, Joe, I did find a friendliv- ing in Jacksonville that did me good to corner of Riverside Ave. and May St., shake his hand Col. Cay he was at my home a few months ago with my good friend Jno. M. Grantham anc Capt.' R. P. Howell, and though it, was the first time I ever .saw him it left me with a desire to see him again. It had been arranged that I should ac company Capt. Howell to the reunion. and we were to be the guests of , Col. Cay, but unfortunately, Capt. Howell's wife was very sick at Asheville, so he c-uld not go and I felt that I would not be treating CoL Cay, my friends Grantham and Howell, - right not to call on Col. Cay, while there. I went to his home; I found the Col. much imtroved from what he was when he was the guest of John Grantham, and the occasion of my acquaintance, (he was then on crutches), he now Bhuf- fles around all right and Is looking well. It did me good to meet him and his good wife God bless her. I want to say to you, Joe, If you ever go to Jacksonville, call on Col. Cay, and tell him you are Jno. M. Granth am's friend; this Is al1 the introduc tion you need, you need not pull your hat off. When he finds you are John's friend, he'll pull It off for you and sit you down so earnestly that you will thank your stars you are not made of glass. John loves Col. Cay and believe the love is mutual, as an evi dence of John's love, he named the most of his children after him- and only regrets that he has no more to name for him. . The Colonel's house was heaquart- ers for Wheeler's Cavalry during the reunion. When I went in it reminded me of army days. There were a host of former colonels, captains, aids, etc. setting around, all courteous and clev er.! None of the haustiness of them days. I introduced myself as Private Hollowell from the Tar Heel State, and such hand shaking! The Colonel '' . . . . . . . . x was not ud. lit wan eanr in me aavi.i but when, he learned through bis brother that I was' out In the Diazza he sent me word to not leave until he could dress, and in a few minutes he was down he had not been to break fast and insisted upon my breakfast ing with him I had been to breakfast and declined to further mortify my stomach, but he would have me to go to the table and talk with him while he ate. After breakfast he would not be satisfied unless I would agree to be sandwiched in between two or three Colonels and Captains of Wheeler's Cavalry. I protested against hisplac ing a private Tar Heel among such high ones. I finally consented pro vided he would use as excuse therefor that he put the Tar Heel in to make the cavalry stick, he said good and in I went. We were a little late in joining the parade and had to fall In in the rear and we had to wait one and a half hours for them to pass. It was said that there were 1,500 autos, numerous carriages, infantry and cavalry in thej parade, constituting a column of 8 miles in length. This procession waf witnessed by a throng of people spread out along this line of 8 miles, standing on each side of the street from 5 to 10 deep it was the grandest parade I ever saw.1 : When I was leaving the Colonels, he handed me a bundle of cards to give out; to his friends as souvenirs of thr Jacksonville reunion, one of which I am giving to you Joe, and you may copy it (with the endorsement on the - c . . c-.. .i. them out and while on the cars when t was HiHr.tr anmo nwnv a miinie nf ladies, unknown to me, asked me for one' They said they did not know what it wac, hut thpv wro enttsfiAr. . .., j . . it was something good.

Said I to be 500 in the city, not to mention the wholesalers, and yet there was little drunkenness. I have seen as many men drunk in Goldsboro at a I circus or . other big day as I saw I there, and I was almost persuaded that it is the pure cussedness of men. wishing to violate the law, that makes! them seek to get It from a blind tiger, I never wanted a drink while in the army until there was an order that it I should not be carried Into came So you see I got full of that same cussed-j ness myself. Well, Joe, I expect I'll tire your I readers with- my poor effort to give them a synopsis of what I saw and . . 1 . heard at the grandest reunion ever held; so I will quit.
