San Antonio, Tex., Fob 2 '9 5
“Wo we t out to San Pedro
springs and to the old Alamo
Thursday. Ban Pedro springs is a
very pretty place, several very large
springs, a small lake and a zoolog
ical garden. The Alamo is perhaps
the most interesting place in the
United States or the world; not in
its beauty or grandeur, but its his
tory, for in the "Id Alamo took
place one of the bloodiest and most
brutal massacres that history has
ever recorded ; even Thermopylae
had her messengers of defeat, the
Alamo had none The Alamo was
built in 1718 by the Spaniards, be
ing one "f the line of Missions that
was built to protect this country
(which at that time was claimed
by Spain) and to christianize the
Indians and make them subject to
Spain
All of these Missions were built
out of stone and were combinations
of fortress and church. There are
three of these missions near this
place; San Jose mission is about
f iur miles from here and the Mis
sion Concepcion about two miles
below; but the Alamo is the most
historic of all, except, possibly the
olio at Goliad.
1 will give you as near as I can
remember the story told me by
the old man who acts as guide and
relates to every man the horrors
of the massacres of Travis, Bowie,
rockett and Bonham with 180
brave men who preferred to “cross
the line” and die like the heroes
Uiey were, rather than surrender
and be shot like dogs. Travis was
in command of the I exans at that
ime and was surrounded by three
houeand Mexicans and Travis had
opt them at buy for ten days, and
n March 3rd, the Mexic ns kept
p a terrible cannonade all dy i
ltd just about sunset the firing
■used and Santa Anna ordered
is men to withdraw some distance
Torn the Alamo. Travis knew this
; is the lul before the real storm
inti he ordered his men to parade
in single file. Then followed .me
1 ihe grandest scenes history re
'• r«is In a voice trembling with
'motion Travis told his men that
death was inevitable and made a
long speech to them and when lie
had finished, the silence of the
grave reigned over all. Drawing
his sword he draw a line in froti
of his men and cried : “Those who
wish to die like heroes «nd patriots
come over to me,” and in a few
minutes every man but one had
crossed. Even the wounded had
dragged themselves across the fatal
lino. Colonel Bowie was sick with
fever and was too weak to walk
but he said “Lads, carry my cot
acr< ss the line.” On March 6th,
between midnight and day. an or
der was given by Santa Anna to
take the fort at any sacrifice, and
the Alamo was surrounded hv Mex
i leans. Just after midnighy amidst
: the roar of cannon and the trum
i pets sounding the awful notes of
the “deguello,” signifying no quar
ter, Santa Anna's troops advanced
to the attack. The Texans fought
like demons; killing them as they
scaled the walls, as they leaped
'ithin, as they raised their weap
ns and as they used them, and as
they killed their companions. The
court ran with blood but as long
as a hand was strong enough to
use a weapon no Texan fell una
venged. Crockett left a score of
bodies around him to 6how his
work; Bowie, too weak to riselrom
bed, shot two fiends who were pre
paring to kill him. Every apart
ment was a battlefield, every room
a fortress where death alone was
the conqueror. Death and Santa
Anna held the place finally, and
by order of Santa Anna the bodies
of the Texans were collected in a
huge pile and burned, while the
dead Mexicans were taken to the
cemetery for burial. As the Sab
bath sun sank slowly in the west,
the sm ke from that luneral pyre
of heroes descended to heaven.
From that sacred fire sprang the
flames that lighted all Texas, that
consumed many Mexican lives and
caused even the “Napoleon of the
West” (Sama Anna styled himself
so) to bow low his haughty head.
To stand on that cold, damp ground
m the court where so many lives
weie lost, and to listen to the sto
ry told by the old man, one feels
almost like he is in the presence
oi death.
The Alamo stands in the midst
of the city in front of the Alamo
Plaza, a silent yet eloquent remin*-
der of the Texas Thermopylae. At
the entrance of the old capital at
Austin, stood a monument built
frum the ruins of the Alamo and
dedicated to the heroes who per
ished there. One side b* re thi9
inscription : “To the God of the
fearless and free i 9 dedicated this
altar, made from the ruins of the
Alamo”—on another, “Thermopy
lae had her messengers of defeat;
the Alamo had none,” on another
side, “Blood of heroes hath stained
me; let the stone of the Alamo
speak that their immolation be
not forgotten,” and on the oilier
side, “Be they enrolled with Leon
idas in the host of the mighty
dead.” In the court of the Alamo
is recorded the last words of Crock
ett, Travis and Bowie. Bowie:
“Carry my cot across the line boys.’
Travis: “Who will cross the line
and die with me?” Crockett: “Be
sure you are right and go ahead.”
I wish I had space to describe
the interior of the Alamo, but I
will give you a general idea of it
as it stands now. The court is
about 35 feet wide aud 70 feet long
and on eithei side are small rooms
with dirt floors and rock wal'sand
partitions, and it looks very gloo
my, especially after hearing the
history of the terrible struggle of
those brave men.
The next most brutal outrage
was at Goliad. I was there about
teu days ago. Col. Fannin was in
command of Texaus at that place,
and was ordered by Gen. Houston
to go to Victoria, so he started and
got about 9 miles out and stopped
to rest his teams. This stop was
made near the Colito and in about
an hour found himself surrounded
by Urrea’s troops Fannin ar
ranged his men in a hollow square
and made ready to meet the attack
of twelve hundred Mexican infan
try and seven hundred cavalry.
(Fannin had four hundred ) They
fought for several hours and as the
Texans h*d no water thei' cannons
got too hot to use. At dark the
Mexicans withdrew. During the
night the Texans suffered untold
agony. The moans of the wounded
and their pitiful pleading for just
one drop of water was heard. Fan
nin was severely wounded; all the
teams had escaped during the bat
tle and every hope of retreat under
shelter of darkness was destroyed.
The next morning Urrea received
four hundred fresh troops and two
cannons. When Fannin saw the
recruits and cannons he knew there
was no chance to save his men so
he surrendered on condition that
the s- ldiere were to be treated as
prisoners of war according to the
usage of civilized nations, the
wounded to receive proper atten
tion and their private property re
spected and restored. These con
ditions were signed and sealed
with every formality so no one
thought of their being violated.
Fannin’s men were hurried to Go
liad and put in the old fort or mis
sion. Their food was beef without
salt or bread. On the night of the
26th, Fannin's men, most of whom
| were Alabama and Georgia, spent
j the evening in merry conversation
| concerning their return home,
j Suddenly a rich tenor voice began
SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, FEBRUIiaY 19,1896
singing “Home, Sweet Home.” The
jest ceased, each manly heart beat
in a responsive chord to those
sweet words, many an eye grew
dim as one after another, took up
the soft refrain. Even while the
song was on their lips, there came
an order from Santa Anna to mur
der all the American prisoners,
aud as the patriots lay down to
sleep and dream of the far away
home and loved ones, the servant
of the Prince of Butchers prepared
to execute his command. The next
morning was Palm Sunday, and at
dawn the Texas troaps were order
ed to file out. They were divided
into three divisions and marched
in different directions under a
strong guard. After going half a
mile the officers commanded a halt.
The next moment a volley of balls
hailed upon the unarmed Texans
and continued until not a man
was left standing. Fearing all
were not dead, the Mexican caval
ry rode over the field and pierced
with sabers all who gave any sign
f life. Even the wounded were
dragged from their beds and mur
dered in the fort. As a fitting close
to the scene, the bodies of the Tex
ans were partially covered with
brush and set on fire. Fannin was
last to be sacrificed ; he made three
requests. That his watch should
be sent home to his wife, that he
be 6hot in the breast and that his
body be given a Christian burial.
He was shot in the head, his watch
remained in the pocket of the offi
cer and his body left unburied.
But Houston got even at the
battle of San Jacinto. In a few
stirring words Houston told his
seven hundred brave men that he
was going to lead them against
Santa Anna’s one thousand and
six hundred veteran solders. The
news was received with joy. They
were prepared for a charge against
the enemy. In the Mexican camp
all was quiet, most all the officers
were asleep, as they thought Hous
ton would n>tbe so foolish as to
attack. There was no martial mu
sic to cheer the hearts of the Tex
ans, but he who looked iuto those
Hashing eyes aud read the resolu
tion written on those brows and
lips knew they had no need of drum
or fife. As the Texans neared the
camps and saw before them the
butchers of their friends aud loved
ones, a fierce cry of vengeance,
burst from every heart—“ Reme
mber the Alamo! Remember Go
liad !” For a second the Mexicans
shrank back in terror but soon re
covered and gave the Texans a
deadly fire, and before they could
reload the Texans were within pis
tol shot; then seven hundred
death bearing bullets winged their
way into the Mexican ranks, then
turning their muskets into war
clubs they grappled hand to hand
with their foe. When these were
broken they used their pistols and
after they were empty they hurled
them at the enemy and drew their
bowie knives and again raising
the dread battle cry, slaughtered
right and left in savage fury. The
Mexicans fought bravely but soon
found they were struggling with
demons, and not mortals, and fled
in every direction while the Tex
ans followed Many a Mexican
fell on his knees and pleaded, “Me
no AUrno; me no Goliad,” but
they were shown no mercy, for the
Texans had vowed to offer a
bloody sacrifice to the memory of
the martyred Travis, Bowie, Crock
ett, Bonham and Fannin. In
front of the hotel in Goliad is a
plot of ground with a monument
erected to Fannin and the brave
heroes who were murdered with
him
It is impossible to write all the
interesting things ab.-ut the war
between Texas and Mexico, but it
is an interesting study and very 7
interesting to visit the places where
so many g-ve up their lives for lib
erty and country.

SUES FOE THE ASSAULT.
Miss Maggie Henderson, Victim
of a Convict Trusty, Asks
For SIOO,OOO Damage.
A suit for 100,000 damages was
filed in the office of the clerk of
the Fulton county superior court
last week by Miss Maggie Hender
son against the Dade Coal Compa
ny of which Mr. Julius L. Brown
is president. She is represented
by Mr. Seaborn Wright and Mes
srs Watkins & Dean, of Rome, and
Messrs N. J. & T. A. Hammond, of
Atlanta.
Miss Henderson’s home is in the
mountains of Dade county near
the camps of the coal company
where the long term convicts are
worked. One day some months
ago she was passing from one point
to another on the mountains when
she was set upon by a burly negro
convict and assaulted in a most
brutal manner. The girl had been
knocked senseless and was then
carried into a sheltered place on
the mountain and again battered
by a large stone and left for dead.
The well nigh lifeless form was
found by friends and the crime
was laid at the door of Neal Smith
one of the trusties. He was charg
ed with having committed the
crime and confessed it. A howling
mob surrounded the stockade and
demanded the convict, threatening
to release the entire lot of convicts
if he was not turned over to them.
He was brought out and after be
ing tied and having his ears cut off
he was burned for the crime he
had committed.
The girl, afterdingering between
life and death for some weeks, re
covered, and now she has entered
suit against the convict lessees to
recover damages for the injuries
inflicted upon her by the convict,
who was allowed to have so much
liberty.
