LAST CONFEDERATE CHARGE
i - s
MORE EVIDENCE THAT IT WAS LED BY
CAPTAIN KAIGLER.
General Evans Tells of the Valor of the
Dawson Veteran. Made the Last
Capture of the Civil War.
In a recent issue of THE NEWS an
aceount was given of the last charge at
Appomatox, in which it was stated
Captain Kaigler of Dawson partly led.
Further information not only coufirms
this but even goes beyond it in relat
ing the bravery of Captain Kaigler,
ascribing to him almost the entire
glory of the charge.
Below is copied from the “#Confeder
ate Veteran'' a letter receiyed by
Captain Kaigler from General Clem
ent A. Evans, the latter having writ
ten it some twenty-five years ago:
CAPTAIN WILLIAM KAIGLER—My
Dear Captain: Yours of the first inst.
inquiring about the last attack made
by the Army of Northern Virginia at
Appomatox has just been received.
T reply with great pleasure that
there is no guestion in my mind of the
truth that the last shot fired and the
capture of the army by General Lee
were through you and your picket
corps of sharpshooters. On the morn
-Ing of the surrender I received orders
too attack on the line that crossed the
road to Lynchburg. We moved for-
ward, driving before us for nearly or
guite a mile the enemy inour front—
most of this in open field. At a certain
point we were suddenly threatned by .
a new line bearing down on our right,
which would have taken us in the flank
ifany further forward movement was
made. At that juncture it became
necessary to change front under fire,
a most difficult maneuver, as all know;
but it was done promptly and without
confusion. At the same time your
sharpshooters, thrown out on flank and
iront, were brought iuto collision |
with a body of the enemy, and made
captures that surprised all. . . ... I
haye not the slightest doubt, Captain,
that you burned the the last grain of
powder and directed the last Confed
e rate bullet from the great old army
of Gen, Lee.” l
In addition to the above isaclipping
from the Philadeliphia Times of Jan.
13, 1833, also published in the “*Veter
an,” and speaking of Captain Kaigler’s
dashing bravery. ltsays:
“On the morning of the surrender
Gen. Evans was ordered by Gen. Gor
don to place his divison in order of bat
tle across the Lynchburg road. Capt.
Kaigler, commanding the division
skirmishers, moved in front and the
division itself followed soon alter. In!

The death of Mrs. Olin S. Pace oc
curred Monday night at 2:30 o'clock at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. R. E.

MAD DOG KILLED.
A Rabid Canine Chased Down
Main Street By Armed
Men and Shot.
A mad dog was the cause of consid
erable excitement Thursday. The ca
nine belonged to John Escridge, and
Its rabid condition was discovered sev
eral days prior to its being killed, but
it successfully eluded the gun until
Wednesday, when it was discovered
on Main street.
Steps were at once taken to shoot
the dog, and it was chased down
Main street by a crowd of armed
men. It was not killed however
until it reached Rosstown, where a
load of gunshot put an end to its life.
No one was bitten by the dog.
FARMERS CAN'T GET LABOR.
One With Seventeen Plows Has
Only Two Hands.
While the farmers of Terrell county
are not complaining more than usuai
this year of the scarcity of labor, some
of those of adjoining counties seem not
to be so fortunately situated in this
respect.
The Americus Times-Recorder says
the farmers of Sumter county are in a
quandary regarding the labor sitnation
and from the present outiook hundreds
of acres that might be eultivated will
lie idle. On one plantativn, where sev
entern plows are ready to be operated,
there are only L 0 negro lavorers,
while on anotber plantation of seven
nlows there is but one negro a d the
owner can cat no more help. This
condition presails very generally, as
trmers fing itijust impossible to se
cure labor at any price.

COL. WILKINSON AN APPLICANT.
Dawson Attorney Wants Position of Referee
in Bankruptey.
Colonel H. A. Wilkinson of this city
is a candidate for the position of refe
ree in bankruptey for this district,
made vacant by the recent death
l of Colonel Arthur Hood of Cuthbert.
Colonel Wilkinson is one of Dawson’s
leading attorneys and one of the most
capable young lawyers in this section. :
His appointment as referee in bank- |
ruptey would insure that position be
‘ing ably filled, and his friends hope
that he will secure the place.
$lOO,OOO NOT ENOUGH.
The Number of Widow Pensioners Prom
ises to Be Surprisingly Large.
Pension Commissioner Lindsey has
about completed the payment of all the
pensions except those for the indigentl
widows, who come under the new law
adopted by the last legislature. Up to
date $670,000 has been paid out for pen
sions by the state treasury and only
White; Lincoln and Irwin counties re
main to be paid. These are small coun
ties, and there will still be a small
amount left of the $690,000 when they
are paid. The indications are now that
there will be twice as many appli
cants for pensions under the new law
as were expected, and that the $lOO,OOO
approriated will not be enough to go
around. In that eyent, the pension
commissioner says eitber the payments
will haye to be deferred or less than $6O
will be paid to each pensioner.

A SCARED THIEF.
Left an Overcoat He Had Stolen
at Mr. Chas. Deubler’s
Front Door.
Alderman Charles Deubler’s oyer
coat was stolen Saturday from Messrs.
T. J. Hart & Co’s. buggy and carriage
repository on Main street. Immedi
ately upon missing the coat Mr. Deub
ler recalled a negro who had been in
the biilding while he was attending
to some business near the front, and
‘his suspicions were fixed upon the
flouns’er.
He followed the clue with such vig
or that the thief was alarmed and re
turned the coat Saturday night, throw
ing the garment over into Mr. Deub
ler’s yard, where it was found early
Sunday morning. This act, however,
did nov deter that gentleman from hav
ing justice visited upon the negro
whom he thought was the thief, and
he had John Albright, the object of
his suspicions, arrested. He confessed
to the theft.
DEATH AT DOVER.
Mrs. Nancy Culpepper Passes
Away at an Advanced Age.
DOVER, February 25.--Our people
were made sad on Monday morn
ing last when it became known that
Mrs. Nancy Culpepper, an aged and
highly esteemed lady of this commu
nity, had died at the home of her son,
Mr. J. P. Culpepper, during Sunday
night. Mrs. Culpepper had been in
feeble health for a year or mcore, grad
ually growing worse all the time until
a few months ago, when her condition
became alarming. Hence, her death
was not unexpected; but even though
we are expecting the Death Angel to
appear momentarily 'tis always sad to
part with those we love. All that lov
ing hands and medicine could do was
done, but to no avail. She had
served her time here below—she had
finished the work that God had sent
her to do—and when He called her she
was ready to go.
Her sufferings were terrible to bear
during the last few weeks of her ill
ness, but she bore affliction with pa
tience and thus set an example which
it would beHoove us all to follow. |
The following brief and touching
lines were written by a young lady, an
intimate friend to the family, and
handed us for publication :
Dearest one from us has gone,
The voice we loved isstilled;
Her place around our fireside is vacant
And can never more be filled.
God in His wisdom has called
The one His love had given,
And though her body rests here
We know her soul has gone to heaven.
Mrs. Culpepper was the mother of
eight children, six of whom are living
—Messrs. J. P., E.R. and John Culpep
per of this county, Allison and Steph
en Culpepper of Donaldsonvilie, and
Mrs. Black of Colquitt county.
Had she lived one week longer she
would have been 71 years old, and for
over fifty years she bad been a consist
ent member of the Primitive Baptist
c¢hurch.
We extend our heartfelt sympathies
to the bereaved family. May they look
upon Him who deoeth all things well,
tor there alone they can find comfort.
