You Don’t Know What It Will Do For You!
That's true. If you knew how much actual
<ash it saves, you would buy an Intemnational
mmotor truck because you could hardly. make
a better paying investment. If it atdded only
twenty-five cents a day to your net profits—that
would be better than 10 per cent mterest on
the price of a Model M.
An International motor truck will save more than
#hat for any man whose wo.rk keeps two horses busy.

HGHTING 70 YEARS I
|
|
~ A6O THIS MONTH
| Mayor Bridges Smith, of Ma-‘
lcnn. writing in the Telegraph,
gives some interesting history of
|the Mexican war of seventy yearsi
ago, in which a volunteer com
pany of that place served for al
short time. He writes: |
| Seventy years this month, the
iwar department at Washington
lcalled on Georgia for her quota
luf troops to enlist in the Ameri—'
,can army on the Mexican border.
{ This was in 1846, and a war with!
‘Mexico was brought on by the!
|;umcxatitmof Texas. As soon as|
ithe news was received in Macon,
|the Macon Volunteers, under
i Capt. Isaac Holmes, offered their
iservices for .six months and at’
once began making preparatiens|
lto. leave. The Floyd Rifles were,
tas quick to respond to the ca 1.1,!
ibut in the midst of their prepara-
Itions it was discovered that thcl
| war department would not receive
[troops for less thania year’s ser
jvice unkss the war closed prior
|to the expiration of that time.
2 The Volunteers and Rifles were
made up of the best young men in
| Macon, and the news of their go
{ing to Mexico was received with
'man_v heartaches and tears from
{their families. In those days
{Mexico was a far distant land,
by reason of inadequate means |
|of transportation and the Mexi
(can bore as unpleasant a name for
gtrcac}ucry a 8 Now.
! Raises Volunteer Company
| Then, when it was learned that
(these companies would not go,
Ithe young soldiers were disap~l
pointed. Capt. Holthes, in his
cagerness to respond to his cmm-}
itry’s eall, he being a thorough
{snhlicr, decided to raise a com—l
pany among tlfe young men who
were not connected with the mil
itary, but were ambitious to serve
in the army. This independent
company was named the Macon
Gards, and Capt. Holmes umani
- mously given commamd. l
. One handred men emdisted i
three days. "Phe ladies of the
city presemted the company with
a flag, which was feelingly receiy~
ell. Under escort of the Volufl-‘
teers and Floyd Rdfles, the mew
- company marched to the Bfl;b‘
campground, at the foot of :P,iac‘
strget, wherg a bountiful supper
fmd been prepared. There the
.company camped that night. .
After the organization of the
regiment, it matched from Colum
bus to Chehaw, Ala., where they
were transported by rail to Mont
gomery, thence by steamer down
the Alabama river to Mobile. As
they approached thdt city the
citizens were celebtating the
Fourth of July, and the arrival of
|the boats bearing the soldiers ad
jded an unusual feature, that of
|ctlebrating the Fourth on the riv
‘er. s
i The regiment remained in Mo
‘bile ten days and ‘then embarked
ton the steamer Joseph Day ffi'l
Brazos Island, mear the moutk of
(the Rio Grande. On this Island,
the regiment encamped about two
weeks, and thém maccfed to camp
' Belknap, up the river. Here. #foy
remamied for several weeks bafore
proceedimg to Camarage, a por
tion going on foot and others by
steamboat.
There were no landings with
supplies of fuel along the Rio
Grande; and when the fuel gave
out the boat would tie up until the
soldiers could cut wood from the
forests. o
Fuel Boxes for Coffins
There was much sickness among
the troops while encamped at
Camargo, which was a very un
healthy place, an 'many soldiers
died. A new supply of guns were
received here, and the boxes in
which they had been shipped were
used as coffing for the dead. The
regiment marched to Monterey,
guarding a money train carrying
$200,000. Writing frem Monte
rey, under date of October 11,
1846, Maj. Charles J. Wililams
said :
“The ranks of our regiment
have been terribly thinned. We
marched across the Chattahoo
chee river with 910 men and ofk
cers, and today the regiment, all
told, barely numbers 600. Though
we have discharged many from
sickness and disability, still we
have deposited nearly seventy be
neath she chaparral, all" in the
short spage of four months. \We
have now arrived at a healthy
place, and health blooms in every
cheek, though 7,080 soldiers, from
every part of the United States,
are here, encamped within the
short space of two miles.”
This was seventy years ago, be
fore the laws of sanitation were in
vogue in the army.

It-was at Camp Monterey that
Capt. Holmes died and Georgia
lost one of its best citizens. Be-

sides being a gallant captain of
the Macon Volunteers, he had
heen Mayor of Macon, and was
universally beloved. His remains
were brought back under an es
cort of honor, and they now rest
in Rose Hill.
The regiment remained on
guard duty at Monterey, guard
ing trains and performing any
duty assigned to it. Later it was
sent to Tampico and Vera Cruz.
Ilager as were these soldiers to
fight, enlisting for that purpose,
they were never given an oppor
tunity to engage in battle. After
the battle of Cerro Gordo, and
while on their march to the City
of Maxico, their term of service
expired and they were dismissed.
Same Loyalty Now
It is from Butler’s history of
Macon that I get the above facts.
So it appears that the Volun
teers and Rifles may yet go to
Mexico. The members of these
gallant companies are just as loy
al to the flag that floated at the
Alamo, in Palo Alto, or Chepul
tepec seventy years ago as were
the young men of 1846. They are
soldiers and they know their duty.
But what a difference in the
times! There were but few rail
roads and army training in those
days amounted to notling more
than the manwal of arms and
stout legs for marching. And the
difference in the arms! And in the
equipment !
- Many improvemsents in arms,
‘munitions and me#hods of warfare
have been made in the past seven
ty years.
