Roaster of Americus Volunteer
Rifles, Organized Just 60 Years
Ago, Contains Only 2 Now Living
One thing is quite certain; no
one enjoyed the reunion at Albany
more than did Capt. H. D. Watts,
Sumter county treasurer. When the
captain dons his uniform of gray,
his shoulders straighten, his head be
comes erect, his spirits stir and his
miml is flooded with memories gay
and sad. If one gives the captain a
chance to become reminiscent and
leaves off asking him questions abou*
the reunion at Albany, there is an
opportunity to learn of some thrill
ing experiences, some hair-breadth
escapes and the exhilarating joys of
the victories, as well as depressing
stories of defeat experienced by him
and his company in the Sixties.
On June 11, 1861, just sixty years
ago, the Americus Volunteers Rifles
was organized with Capt. J. M. 1).
King as its commanding officer.
Capt. King was 23 years old, dash
ing and popular. He brought to the
defense of the Confederate flag the
flower of Sumter’s youth, ranging
in age from 15 to 36 years. Among
those gallant boy Capt. H. I). Watts
was numbered. He was then 20
years old. Reference to the muster
roll of the company which is on file
in Book N in the county clerk’s of
fice, will disclose the names of many
young men whose sons and daughters
are now wortffy citizens of the coun
ty. There will also be found many
names of young men who never re
turned.
This company stands out unique
in the history of the Civil War as
having been in the thickest of the
fight in nearly every battle of im
portance. Capt. Watts relates that
in the very first battle most of the
original officer ; of the company were
killed.
The company was attached to the
9th Regiment of Ga. Volunteers with
General Longstreet’s Corps. In this
company was Joseph Allen, father of
County Clerk IL E. Allen. It is re
lated that at one time in a fierce
conflict, all the officers were killed
and the company was left under the
i command of Lieut. Joseph Allen.
It is of special interest at this time
to know that from among the 85
original members of the Americus
Volunteers Rifles, only two are now
living. These are Capt. H'. 1). Watts
and W. M. Mims, a we’l known citi
zen of Americus, who now conducts
a business on Cotton avenue.

ROTARYPASTOR
GETS PASSPORT
Rev. Silas Johnson To
Leave 1 or Scotland
Wednesday

the Americus Rotary club has just
received his pas-port enabling him to
sail on June 1 for Edinburgh, Scot
i land, as the delegate of the local
! club in the international convention
Mr. Johnson will leave Americus
probably Wednesday of this, week
going directly to New York..” As he
plans to visit France and Belgium
while on the other side, it will be nec
-1 essary to secure from the French
I consul in New York a vise of his
I passport before he will be permitted
’ io land in France. In order to accom-
I plish this detail, he plans to reach
I New York Friday evening or Satur
i day morning, since Sunday and a
i holiday Monday intervene before the
sailing date, making it necessary lor
; him to complete his arrangements
in advance.
He will embark on the Cunard lin
er Cameronia, which, with its sister
ship, the Caronia, has been chartered
by the Rotarians of America lor the
trip across. The party will land at
Glascow. From there Mr. Johnson
will-go to Edinburgh for the conven
tion, after which he will start on a
brief sight-seeing tour of Scotland
and England, thence going to the
battle fields of Frame and Belgium.
The entire trip wil consume seven
or eight weeks, three or four weeks
being consumed in traveling and
sight-seeing. Although a chaplain in
flie war service, Mr. Johnson was not
fortunate enough to bo sent to
France,
Mr Johnson will have as a compan
■ ion Rev. J. A. Thomas, Columbus
pastor, and former resident of Amer
I icus, who is delegate from the Rotary
club of that city.

Jack’s “Rabbit Punch” Won’t
I Touch Carp, Says Kiibane
BY JOHNNY KILBANE
Featherweight Champion of The
World
You've heard a lot of talk about
the “rabbit punch” with which Jack
Dempsey is credit
id with having fin
shed Bill Brennan.
It may be on
lisplay when the
‘hampion show. 1
tis wares before
he crowds that
go through the
gate to watch hint
train at the At
lantic City camp.
>ut Dempsey won’t
get a chance tc
use it in his fight
with Georges Car
pentier, July 2.
The “r abb i t
■
.
Y. -WT-’H

fe&Nl .HRil
punch” is an overhand punch to the
back of the neck. It gets its name
from the similarity to the method of
killing rabbits by holdnig them up
and cracking them back of the head
with the side of the hand.
The punch produces a knockout as
surely as will the familiar uppercut
to the chin, because it reaches the
nerve centers that communicate with
the brain in exactly the same way,
leaving the victim helpless.
It can be used to advantage only
when an opponent is covering, with
arms drawn in to protect his abdo
men and with head drawn forward
and down within the shelter of his
inai.k This leaves the vulnerable
spot on the back of the neck wide
open for a big fellow who has the
reach that Dempsey has.
But. Garr iitiep's style of fighting
will make il impossible for Dempsey
to use his “rabbit” in the champion
ship go. lie can drive in the punch
onh; when the Frenchman is
covering. And Georges won't cover.
None of the classy fighters who are
fast on their feet need to cover. As
a matter of fact, many of them dsn’t
even know how, never having needed
to learn th o “rabbit punch” for
that same reason couldn’t be used
against fighters of the type of Ben
ny Leonard or Backey McFarland,
while a boxer who was adept with
it would have an easy time making
it count with men like Sharkey, Bat
Nelson or Ad Walgast.
Dempsey probably will depend for
a knockout on slugging Carpentier
early in thb fight into such weak
ness that he can break through with
the crashing rights and lefts to the
jaw that toppled over Big Jesse Wil
lard and a host of others.
And, in doing so, he will only be
following the trail :>f fistic history,
for never to my knowledge has a
heavyweight title changed hands by
a ‘‘rabbit punch,” a “backhand
punch,’ or any of the other dozen
or more freak blows about which
various boxers boast.
