ROOSEVELT’S ACCOUNTS OF THE ROUGH RIDERS IN THE CHARGE. Who Ordered nnd Who Led (he Churßi* The Hlntorlan of (lie Koukli Hitler* llxi.s l*u( Forth Three S(orie* of (he ICven(. [Copyright. 1599, by G. L. Kilmer.] *" st oßa in I, iulde • ■'■AM.j ; .wy| ata te m ents to draw upon, cannot take Roosevelt as the sole and the infallible authority upon the battle career of his regiment. From the accounts popularly accept ed of the charge up San Juan hill one gleans that the rough riders, lec| by their colonel, initiated and carried home*the charge, clinching the victory by heroic defense of the crest. This is not the view of the officers and soldiers outside of the rough riders. The regi ment did well—for a volunteer regiment unusually well—but deserves no more praise than the others. After describing the march down the road to the San ,7nan river Roosevelt tells in two offi cial reports and in his magazine narra tive how the charge originated and the part the rough riders took in it. In his magazine story he says: “I sent mes senger after messenger to try to find General Sumner or General Wood and get permission to advance, and was just about making up my mind that in the absence of orders I had better ‘march toward the guns,' when Lieu tenant Colonel Dorst came riding up through the storm of bullets with the welcome command ‘to move forward and support the regulars in the assanlt in the hills in front. ’ ” ' Roosevelt says that the instant he re ceived the order his “crowded hour be gan. ” He formed the regiment in col nmn of Troops, deployed in skirmishing order, and took his place with the rear. Somehow—the reason given is not clear —he forged his way to the front of his own regiment. The Ninth cavalry was in frcnt, the First regulars in the left of the rough riders. In his narrative the colonel says, “And these went up ‘Ket tle' hill with my regiment. ” “Kettle” hill is the name given to the outlying spur of the ridge which was first cap tured. Roosevelt’s first report is not so clear as his second, and this last states distinctly: “We charged the blockhouse and intrenchments on the bill to our right against a heavy fire. It was taken in good style, the men of my regiment thus being the first to capture any for tified position and to break through the Spanish lines. ” This statement is in the report dated July 20, and from similar verbal ones probably originated the extravagant claims made for the rough riders. Get ting into position, Roosevelt says he waved his hat and gave the order to charge the hill in front—that is, “Ket tle” hill. This is his literal statement of what followed: “Out of my sight, over on the right, Captains Mcßlain and Taylor of the Ninth made up their minds independ ently to charge first about this time, and almost at the same moftient Colo nels Carroll and Hamilton, who were oif, I believe, to my left, where we could neither see them nor hear their men, gave the order to advance. But of all this I knew nothing at the time. The whole line, tired of waiting and eager to close with the enemy, was straining to go -forward, and it seems that different parts slipped the leash at almost the same moment. The First cavalry came up just behind and partly mixed with my regiment and the Ninth.” Having previously stated in this narrative that the Ninth and First went up “Kettle” hill with the rongh riders, it is clear that Roosevelt claimed too much in his official report in saying, “My regiment .thos being the first to capture any fortified position.” The real difficulty is td find among ail the statements just what the rough riders did as a regiment. There was gallant work and heavy loss. Roosevelt carries the narrative to a critical point, then rambles off into statements of what the Ninth or Tenth or First or Third regulars did. One may glean from his account that the Tenth cavalry actually led the charge on “Kettle' hill, but farther on the verbose colonel says tha't the guidons of some of his Troops were first planted on the hill. In the same sentence he says, “On the ex treme right of the hill, at the opposite end from where we struck it. Captains Taylor and Mcßlain and their men of the Ninth were first up. ” Now the right of the hill was where the house, miscalled a blockhouse by Roosevelt, stood. It was not a blockhonse. There were some trenches, but the Spaniards made no defense. The loss sustained by the charging columns was dne to firing from the main ridge. “Kettle” hill was not in the Spanish line of defense, but was an outwork, and its capture did not constitute a break in the enemy’s line, as claimed by Roosevelt. The capture of “Kettle” hill was gal lantly done, and it was timely, for it proved a vantage ground for attack on the real Spanish positions beyond it. But the rough riders seem to have had no specially brilliant part in it. The regiment's place was on the right of the second line. Roosevelt and the two companies with him went up the left or southeast knee of the bill; hence marched obliquely across the field. It was said in camp that Rooseveit iost his A French journal is authority for the statement that the best re cord for the speed by an automo ble is held by the Jeantaud electric vehicle, which has gone a kilome tre is 88.45 secouas, or a mile in 58 seconds approximately. The best performance for petroleum mo torcycle is a kilometre in 57.85 seconds, and for a petroleum car riages, one minute and three sec onds, or in the neighborhood of a mile iti a minute and a half.

For thisreason he deals in generalities in his report, and really accounts for but four of his eight troops, two only of these being with him “personally.” The most important events of the day for the cavalry followed the capture of “Kettle” hill. Roosevelt’s first report says: “When the men got their wind, we charged again and carried the sec ond line of intrenchments with a rush. Swinging to the left, we then drove the Spaniards over the brow of the chain of hills fronting on Santiago.” Bearinu in mind that this is the official report nf the rough riders by their commait iiiiL officer, it must lie taken as niuami).: that the rough riders “carried ? s c ond line” and “drove the SpuiiLmb over the brow. ” In his second report Colonel Roosevelt says that after Foil San Juan was taken a large force was assembled on “Kettle” hill, not only of his own regiment,, hut of the Ninth and portions of other regiments. This U well known. He then states: “We then charged forward under a heavy tire across the valley against the Spanish in trenchments on the hill in reaT of San Juan hill. This we also took, capturing several prisoners. ” He received orders to halt and hold the crest. At the time he had fragments of the Sixth cavalry and an occasional infantryman under him, 300 or 400 men all told. The rough riders numbered 542 and lost 87 in all, making about 475 on duty. But there were other troopers than the Sixth and rough riders with Roosevelt at the time. Either Roosevelt is confused as to the order of events <fr he and his rough rid ers had nothing to do with the capture of the second ridge, or San Juan hill. He places his rush forward after Par ker’B Gatlings opened on Fort San Juan. At that hour the cavalry advance was rushing along the swale toward the sec ond ridge. Roosevelt says that when he saw’ the Spaniards abandon Fort San Juan he called upon his men to charge the hills in front, that is, north San Juan ridge. His details of what follow ed, coming from the colonel of the regi ment reported to have done wonders that day, need no comment. Roosevelt jumped a fence and went on alone, thinking the men would follow, but at the end of 100 yards found he had bnt 1 five rough riders with him. He told them to stay where they were while he went back and brought up the rest of the “brigade. ”( ?) After a spirited col loquy the dilatory rough riders begged to be led forward, but Roosevelt want ed the “otht regiments to come, too,” so he ran ba<% to General Sumner, com- A ROUGH HIDKR. manding the division, and asked if he (Roosevelt) might make the charge. According to Roosevelt, Sumner told him to go ahead, and he (Sumner) wonld see that the men followed. Just what men he meant is uncertain. Sum ner had already ordered the First caval ry and battalion of the Third to re main on “Kettle” hill. The Sixth was moving np the hill in touch with the infantry, and a battalion of the Third was climbing the slope in front of “Ket tle” hill while Roosevelt was going throngh these motions evidently to get his own regiment into shape. Roosevelt finally got to the crest of San Juan ridge. Meanwhile the Third cavalry had formed a line in the V shaped ridge or salient, subsequently called Rough Ridqrs’ hill, bnt which they did not capture. Roosevelt says he had a mixed force and about SO of his own men. This corresponds to the state ment of Captain Morton of the Third cavalry Morton became senior on the front line by the wounding of Major Wessells and went along the crA:t from right to left to find out his strength. He located 40 to 45 rough riders at 8 :30 p. nd. A soldier of the regiment who had been on duty at headquarters went in search of the command that night and reached its colonel and all there was of regiment about 10 o’clock. He said that what surprised him most was that there were “30 few rough riders there. ” In his mind the rough riders should muster 500. barring the fallen. Now tbe rough riders lost on July 1 and 2, 87 killed and wounded. They did their share of facing Mausers and earned a share in the gloty. The regulars ac cord them this willingly. Bat the true story of the rough riders is yet to be written. Their colonel has made three attempts at it, but he apparently saw little of what the regiment was doing as a regiment on July 1. Yet he was colonel over 500 men as good and brave as ever stood behind a gun. George L. Kilmer.

The Genuine Article Can in No Way Com pete With the Pro duct. Washington, June 7.—Consul Muhin, of Reichenberg, Austria, under date of April 21st, quotes an account in n local newspaper of a process for making artificial cotton from the wood of fir trees, j It appears that the wood is re duced to thin shavings, which are placed in a wishing apparatus and exposed to the influence of 9team for ten hours. They are then subjected to a strong prep aration of sodium lye and are heated under great pressure for thirty-six hours. The wood is now chang d to pure cellulose, and to give this a greater resisting power some castor oil, caffein and gel atin are added. The substance is then put into an apparatus and made into threads which are reeled. The article concludes: “Artificial cotton can be pro duced so cheaply that the genuine article can hardly compete with it and one cannot say that it is a sham, for it is composed exactly as the natural cotton, of pure cel |lulose.” Mr. Muhin adds : “In a country such as this, where forests of fir trees abound and are made perenial by constant planting as the large trees are cut down, and where all the cotton used in the numerous factories must be brought from India and the United States, such a device should be profitable.” The State’s Big Farm. It is said that the state convicts will make a fine crop this year on the farm purchased by the state 1 near Milledgeville. Only women, young boys, old men and cripples are worked there, the able bodied convicts being hired out. The state farm contains 8,000 acres, and the crops this year are divid ed up as follows: • Eight hundred acres in cotton. Eight hundred acres in corn. Fifty acres in goobers. Four hundred acres in oats. Twenty-five acres in wheat. One thousand acres in peas. Ten acres in sweet potatoes. Ten acres in cabbage. Five acres in beans. Five acres in onions and beets. Ten acres in watermelons. Five acres in cantaloupes. One acre in rice. Twenty acres in sorghum. LIKESTHK AMERICAN COM PANY’S PRESS. I An Arkansas Eirm Used it East Season tVilh Great Sat isfaction. From the Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Thru. A. 3. Clements, of the firm of Clem ents A Daniel, cotton ginners of Eone oke, Ark., was in the city yesterday. Mr. Clements was seen by a Commer cial Appeal representative in the of fice of the American Cotton Company, in the Continental building, and he talked very enlhusiai-tically of that company’s Roundlap hale press, which he has been operating at hts gin the past season. He compressed about 4,- 000 bales on his Roundlap bale press, and the cotton was all sold at the press at Memphis prices. Mr. Clements says that a Roundlap hale from the Ameri can Company’s press will net from $2.50 to $3.00 more than from the old press. In fact, a farmer a few months ago, made a test of the matter, bring ing the exact number of pounds of the same quality to Mr. Clements that he did to a square hale press, without let ting either gin know he was making I the test, and, the Roundlap bale net ted just $3.75 more than the square hale. Mr. Clements says that one season has satisfied him of the merits of the American Company’s Roundlap bale press. It is a good thing lie says, both for the ginner and the farmer, and his fil m will continue its use and abandon its other press entirely. Three game cocks were brought hack from Porto Kico by Admiral Sampson for his boys and placed at the Sampson home at Glen Ridge, N.

A Letter Prom Arkansas. Moiuum.ton, Ark., May 81, 1899. Dicar Reapers: Seeing several letters from various parts of Geor igia, I will give a few dots front j Arkansas. Arkansas is divided into three j great nlnsiogjaphic divisions —the | mountain, plateau and low swamp j lands. North Arkansas is poetic ally known as “The Land of the ! Ozarks,” whose towering peaks are covered with forests, and the pla | teaus and valleys with rich vege tation and great varieties of choice timber. The mountains parallel with each other, like the waves of the sen, and silver streams murmur unceasingly o.” their way to the mighty father of waters. The valleys and plateaus are unsur passed, while the wonderfully sa lubrious climate, pure water and other rare combinations make Ar kansas one of the most delectable spots beneath the stars of human habitation. Turning to the material side of this locality’s natural wealth, we find that in addition to the pro ductive soil, magnificent climate and pure water, our forests con tain nearly one hundred varieties of wood, and a great variety of minerals. Traces of gold and si I- , ver have been found, while zinc, lend, copper, iron, granite and marble are mined. Hills, valleys, , rivers and forests all conspire to > make tfie scenery lovely and rest ful to the eye. The surroundings ■ in Arkausas are such as to inspire man with noble aspirations, pure thoughts and gentle actions. He ; is near nature’s heart; everything 1 blends in perfect harmony, and 1 the romantic scenery seems to J blossom with joy. The field of opportunity is as j wide here as in any other country, ' and wider for the poor man who '• is not afraid to work. If you want to raise hogs, sheep or cattle get a small farm near the moun- 1 tains and turn them loose. If • you want to.raise turkeys, geese or chickens, you can do so with 1 scarcely an effort. Onr agricultural resources are beyond calculation, although de velopment is in its infancy. This is in the no distant future des tined to become one of the richest portions of the United States. The conditions of Arkansas are partioularly/avorable for the pros perity of the human race. Al though we have a few drawbacks, they are counterbalanced by great advantages which a bounteous nature has bestowed upon us. Among our farming products cotton is of most importance. The average yield is from 800 to J6OO pounds per acre. Corn is also raised to a great extent. Other crops are wheat, oats, po tatoes, grapes and strawberries, together with a large amount of peaches and apples. Crops are looking well, taking into consider ation the amount of raiu and hail j storms we have had this spring. Manufacturing interests are a lit tle behinti the times, but ata rap idly coming to the front. New factories are being built, also new railroads to various points in this and other states. Most of our Georgia people think this a “chilly” state. The health of this country is as good if not better than that of North Georgia. Band is cheap—from $2 to $25 per acre, owing to location. We have good markets for country produce, good schools, churches pnd church-going people. Why not several rfthar colonies of good Georgia farmers migrate to this state ? In this tremendous rush of events no mortal can foretell what a year may bring forth. Changes come quickly. A year, if we recoil time by its results, may outmeas ure centuries of olden times. The old maxim “Strike while the iron is hot,” is particularly applicable to those who desire a home or a profitable investment in Arkansas. The time is now hot—just the proper heat —strike! Clifford Wood. There was a country wedding out in Ford county, Kansas, one day last week which was attended by 800 guests, and the following spread was placed before them: One large beef had been slaugh tered and cooked, three bogs had been roasted, seventy-five pies and fifty cakes had been baked, fifteen gallons of canned peas bad been prepared, ten gallons of pickles were set- before the happy throng and thirty chickens were cooked, and, besides, there was bread, ham and vegetables in proportion. JUNE, - JUNE! The dull and sultry month of June, known to the Southern retail merchant as being one among tile dullest months of the year for bus iness, is now upon us. Now, we, ns persevering merchants have de cided to try to change this monotony in our business. But frcm past experience we realize that something must be done to induce people to trade. After carefully studying and investigating the subject, we see hut one solution of this problem, and that is PROPER INDUCEMENTS IN GOODS AND PRICES. This we are preparing to give.

Huntington, the grant railway magnate, believes there is a surplus of “higher edu cation.” In an • interview the other day he said : “It is almost heresy to say it, but I do not mind taking the re sponsibility. I refer to the in crease of higher educatihn for the masses. “The Anglo-Saxon has easily outstripped all his competitors in those things which make for the commercial growth and success of nations, because he has been above all things practical. While preparation for professional life requires advanced knowledge, it seems to mo that the vast majori ty of our young people spend too many of their vigorous years of youth inside schoolrooms and not enough in the practical work of life. “The years from 15 to 21 are immensely valuable, for they are years of keen observation, individ uality and confidence. In many cases, quite too many, they are spent in cramming the mind with knowledge that is not likely to help a young man in the work he is best fitted for. “How many young men with college educations are standing about waiting for something that will never come because the work that lies nearest at hand is not to their liking? Somehow or other our schools teach young people how to talk, but do not teuch them how to live. People need little, but want much. “Sons of farmers are forsaking the fields because the cities are more attractive to them. Slowly, but surely, there is growing up a stronger wall of caste, with good, honest labor on one side aud friv olous gentility un the other.” . -J u: I U. —II . > .«■■■■ MM News-Herald |ani> I (Mini'll BJSMI !

Build Up The Country. Thqro is much unnecessary talk about building up cities unit towns. As a rule, such communities will tuke care of themselves. They will go forward or backward, , or stand still, under their natural laws of growth or decay, and | when it is possible for human ef fort to advance their interests it is always Hafo to rely upon the active work of those who expect to be personally beuefitted by the progress of the municipalities where they reside. We need more talk about the upbuilding and the development of the country districts—the rural communities. The present steady movemont of the farms and their children to the town is one of the worst signs of the times. It will ruin the country. The best way to build up a town and make it prosperous is to develop, the farm ing district around it. The government eucourages manufacturing, but it does very little for agriculture, beyoud giv ing the farmers advice and garden seed. Millions of dollar# are ex pended in giving cities and towns satisfactory mail facilities, but the farmers are not much better off iu this respect thau tbeir grandfathers were a century ago. —Current Review.
