Uncle Sam in Mexico
Back n 1846 and 1847
On December 29, 1345, Texas, after
the long wrangle between the United
States and Mexico regarding its polit
ical status and ownersnip, was formal
ly aniexed to the American union by
an act of congress. immediately Pres
ident P’olk ordered General Zachary
Taylor to proceed to occupy the dis
puted cerritory between the Nueces
river and the Rio Grande. Something
resembling-a state~of war existed from
then o, though actual hostilifies be
tween the American troops and the
Mexicans did not open till the follow
ing April, when all hope of avoiding a
confliict had been abandoned by
President Polk.
On April 24, 1845, General Taylor
sent out a party of #2 dragoon 0o
watch the course of (he Rio Grande
above Matamoras. The dragoons were
watchad by the Mexicans, surprised
and either killed or captured. This
was the first collision of the war.
Other skirmishes foliowed, though
the United States wxas yet unaware
of being at war. On May 8, the first
real engagement of the war, that of
Palo Alton, was fougbt. In this bat
tle the Mexicans outnumbered the
Americans almost three to one, Gen.
Taylor having at most 2,300 men
and ‘he nexicans numbering about
7,000. Losses were heavy on both
sides, and the battle was continued
the next day at Reszca de la Palma,
with heavy Mexican losses and the
advantage remaining with Uncle
Sam’s men. The bombardment of the
two fieids before Matamoras by the
American army lasted 168 hours, or
exactly a week, which up to this
time was almost a record for artil
lery. A few days later, President
Polk, huving received cispatches from
the border, informed congress that a
state of actual war existed between
the two countries, and the formal de
claration of war by the United States
on M:xico followed on May 13, 1846.
Rapid Preparations Made.
Rapid preparations for carrying
on the war were made. General Win
field Scott, the head of the army,
was called in the numerous consulta
tions that followed, and an army
the largest the United States had
ever lad under arms at one time up
to that period, was recruited. Before
the war ended the United States had
in arms in all services 97,000 men,
including 67,000 volunteers.
Leaving Taylor to fight his way
into Mexico, Scott, after having form
ed an expeditionary force, sailed for
Vera Cruz in November, 1846, to take
supreme command of all the armi€s
in the field. Taylor was working his
way through northern Mexica, while
it was Scott’s plan to make a desperate
journey across the tablelands and
mountains to the capital using Vera
Cruz as his base.
Taylor fought a big and decisive
battle at Beuna Vista on February
22. 1847, against 22,000 Mexicans
led by Santa Ana. Part of his troops
had hLeen sent to reinforce Scott,
and for a time the tide seemed to
turn against the American arms.
The final routing of Santa Ana, how
ever, tettled the conquest of northern
Mexico, and all attention was now

bestowed upon the operations of Scott
in the south.
Scott arrived at Vera Cruz on
March 9, 1847, with lLas army of in
vasion. He lander three division of
about 1,000 men between sunset
and 10 o’clock that night, and began
to place his batteries of 10-inch mor
tors so that they would command the
fortifications of the port. Having
called upen the governor to surrender,
he began to bombard the forts on
March 24. On the 27th overtures for
a surronder were made and on March
29 the American flag floated over the
forts.
Then hegan Scott’s work of cutting
his way to the City of Mexico in the
interior of a high national road, a
treacherous way through the moun
tains, and his prozgress was stopped
daily. Several heavy engagements
were fought and the incessant fight
ing and the heat so decimated the
gallant American host that by the
time h 2 reached the outskirts of the
capital, Scott found that his effect
ives nuainbered little more than 5,000
men.
The assault on the Mexican capi
tal began in September. On Septem
ber 12 was fought the desperate bat
tle for tne fortress of Chapultepec,
where tne Mexicans made their last
stand. The fighting was dramatic
and deiermined, but finally the
fortifications and the city lay before
them.
On ihe morning of September 14,
1847, Scott, at the hicad of his vic
torious troops, marched into the City
of Maxico. The war was at an end.
Peace was signed at Guadalupe Hidal
go Febraay 2, 1848. Under its terms,
Mexico ceded the provinces of New
Mexico and California, for which the
Unitel States agreed to pay her $15,-
000,000, and gave up a'l claims to Tex
as, reccgnizing the Rin Grand as the
southern boundary of Uncle Sam’s do
main.

TOBACCO CROP RUINED ‘
REPORT IN DECATUR
Bainbridge, July 18.—It is believed
that tho> Flint river has done its worst
as there has been practically no rise
in the last twelve hours. It is expect
ed that it will begin talling by morn
ing. Reports from the western purU
of the county state that the Chatta
hoochee has begun falling, while the
Sprinz creek began to show a decline
vesterday. ;
‘ Decatur county has no doubt suf
fered mbdre than any other Georgia
l(-oun'~y on account of having three
large streams flowing through it wiih
iu troniage of at ldast fifty miles on
each. The Chattahoochee touches on
1l)u( one side, but perhaps more good
|lands iie along that river than either
lof the others. Reports from there
state large numbers oi fine live stock
were lost, the bodies of fine .'Jerse_v
cows being seen floating down the
stream. While all the farmers have
lost because of the rains, it is probable
that the tobacco men have faced the
greatest loss. Their crop is almost
a total loss and some are near ruin.
Those who planted heavily in cotton
also suifered greatly. Live stock men,
cveept those along the river bottoms,
excape:d with the least damage.
PLAINS SHIPS 9 CARLOADS
OF MELONS, ONE CAR OF HOGS
Plains, Ga., July 18.—The import
ance of the western section of Sumter
county n the production of profit
bringing products was demonstrated
most ‘orcibly yesterday when nine
carloads of watermelons were shipped
from Plains to market points in the
North and East, while a full carload of
swine was shipped to the big packing
house at Moultrie, Ga.
It is stated that excellent prices
were obtained for the melons, which
were sold f. o. b. Plains, and the hogs
will bring a good round figure from
the Moulirie packers.
This makes five cars of hogs shippeid
from Plains to the WMoultrie packing
house recently.

DIES AT 111 YEARS.
Bainbridge, July 18 —When “Aunt”
Clindy Butler died in the Pine Hill
district of Decatur county this week,
the oldest inhabitant of the county and
possibly of the state had passed away.
“Aunt” Clindy claimed to be 111 years
old and some of her relatives insist
ed that she was still older.
[t seems reasonably certainy that
the old woman was well over the cen
tury mark, for she remembered when
“de white folks went away to fight de
British"—referring to the war of 1812,
She was a grown woman . when the
gtars fell in the early thirties.
“Aun.” Clindy came from South Car
olina to this county.as slave woman
in the forties and had cut lived all her
childr=n except one son, Andrew But
ler, one of the oldest men in the coun
{y. She remained vigorous and ac
tive Jiroughout all the long years of
her life and recalled with vividness
events ¢i the earlier years of her life.
CHIEF MELDRIM FOUND
GUILTY ¢~ CONTEMPT
Savannah, July 18.—Tliere was
great ‘nterest today in the session of
the recorder’s court because Chief
Meldrim, of the Savannah: police
force, had to appear before, the re
corder on a charge of contempt of
court.
The ~hief had been cited by the
attorney for J. L. (lements, a ne
gro, to show cause why he should
not turn over to Clements a rather
large collection of whiskey and other
hooze that had been found in Clem
ents home, and which, the negro
said was for his personal use.
The recorder rendered an opinion
fining Chief Meldrim $25 or 10 days
in jail.
There has been a grecat deal of in
terest ‘n this hearing because it is
the first of its kind in the state
since the new prohibition act went
into ~ffect.
Heavy eating like heavy drinking
