SUNDAY. MAY 31.
3RD AND 6TH CAVALRY VIE
TO LEAD MEXICAN ADVANCE
Each Have Honorable Records a Mile Long—Are at Present
Chafing on the Plains of Texas and Wondering to Which
of Them Will Be Given the Honor of Leading the Way
From Vera Cruz to Mexico City.
Washington. —Two regiments of
cavalry, each with honorable records
f- ’mile long, are chafing down on the
plains of Texas and wondering to
which of them the powers that be
here in the national capitol will
award the honor of leading the way
from Vera Cruz to Mexico City.
There was some stir —in fact con
siderable hubbub—in the ranks of the
Sixth Cavalry a few weeks ago when
a certain piece of news floated down
the line to Galveston. It was learn
ed that Colonel Augustus E. Blockson,
commanding the Third .Cavalry had
made formal application to Lindley
M. Garrison, secretary of war, on be
half of his officers and men, to be
lead the advance.
Old Defendant.
“Why not the Sixth?” howled the
khaki clad hosemen of that persua
sion. “Aint’ they always depended
on us before. Didn't we fight thir
teen brands of redskins, not to speak
of the Philipinos and Chinks and toe
Johnny Rebs back in ’63?"
So the claims of the Sixth were as
consistently lobbied in the state, war
and navy building as had been those
of their rivals and at the present
writing the men of the Sixth appear
to have a shade the better of it.
They’ll probably have the first taste
of those seaside plains of Vera Cruz,
several degrees hotter and dustier
than the Texas stretches over which
Colonel J. A. Gaston has had them
trekking for many a moon.
Little to Choose.
In records there is little to choose
between the two bodies. But the
Third has the unique distinction of
having been the advance guard of the
United States troops when General
Scott in 1887 marched and shot and
sabred his way to Cerro Gordo and
Chaputepec and finally to Mexico
City.
The regiment was organized on
May 19, 1846, as the Regiment of
Mounted Riflemen. The designation
was changed in 1861. Its first colo
nel was Persifer F. Smith, who later

became a brigadier general.
Early in November, 1846, the regi
ment was ordered to Mexico. A
month before two companies went to
Point Isabel, thence to Monterey and
later to Tampico joining at Lebos Is
land, the little peak of beach in the
gulf which came into international
prominence recently when Huerta put
out the light and United States
sailors lit her up again.
On March 3, 1847. the regiment
sailed from Lobos Island and six days
later they landed at Sacrifices Is
land. Then they led in the invest
ment of Vera Cruz, which was even
less of a picnic than the landing a
couple of months ago.
Numerous Deeds.
On the march to Mexico City the
cavalrymen performed numerous
deeds of valor and lost four officers
and forty men killed and had a large
number wounded.
The Sixth Cavalry is even better
known than the Third. It won dis
tinction in the Civil War, the Indian
wars, the Spanish-American war, and
the Philippines.
The regiment was organized May 4,
1861. Like the Third it has changed
its title. Curiously, too, the Sixth
was organized under the name of the
Third Regiment of Cavalry. Five
months later the Sixth received its
present designation.
The regiment participated in the
Peninsular campaign under the com
mand of General Stoneman. It earn
ed perhaps its first fame at the battle
of Williamsburg which is opened.
After this engagement it pursued the
enemy through Yorktown.
Later the Sixth was at Malvern
Hill, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, the
Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court
House, Winchester and Appomattox
Court House, besides numerous less
important but often right sharp
clashes.
Chased Bad Redskins.
After the Civil War the regiment
set out after Indians and was chas
ing bad redskins for many years. It
gave a taste of steel to the Chey
ennes, Kiowas, Comanches, Apaches
and Sioux. Its famous colonel, Eu
gene A. Carr and many other officers
won medals of honor in these Indian
wars. Lieut. General Adna R. Chaf
fee retired, was an officer in the
Sixth Cavalry for twenty-five years
and won the brevet of lieutenant-colo
nel for his gallant service against the
Indians. Major General William H.
Carter, recently in command of the
Second Division at Texas City, and
now in charge of the Hawaiian De
partment, won a medal of honor for
bravery while a first lieutenant in the
Sixth Cavalry.
And the Third Cavalry hasn’t much
right to crow over the Sixth on the
score of Mexican experience. This
will not be the first time that the
Sixth has crossed the border. It
went right into the Mexican moun
tains after Chirachuas Indians in
1882.
In March, 1883, General Crook took
Troop I under Chaffee who was then
a captain, on his famous expedition
to the Serra Madres in Mexico, re
turning in July. They marched 900
miles and brought in three head
chiefs and about 400 hostiles.
To Florida.
At the beginning of the Spanish-
American War the regiment was sta
tioned in Nebraska and It was sent
to Florida. Here it became part of
the cavalry division of the Fifth Army
Corps. It sailed for Cuba on June 14,
1898, one troop remaining behind.
The regiment distinguished itself at
San Juan and Santiago.
After that war the regiment was
stationed in New York, Alabama,
Kansas, Oklahoma and California
until 1900, when it was sent to the
Philippines. Several trooi>s of the
regiment also went to China to help
put down the Boxer uprising.
The regiment has been in the Phil
ippines several times since then.
For some months it has been in the
Sixth Brigade at Texas City. When
its colonel, Chas. M. O’Connell was
detailed to the Inspector General’s
Department and assigned to duty in
the Central Department, Chicago,
Lieutenant Colonel Thomas B. Dugan
took charge for a time.

WANT HE GROCERS
10 CLOSE HIP.II.
Clerks’ Request Be Granted By
Those Not Already Closing
Early if Found Practicable,
The Retail Clerks’ Association of
Augusta has petitioned the retail
grocers of the city to close their
stores not later than 7 p. in., every
day except Saturday, throughout the
summer, at least. It was learned
Saturday through the Merchants and
Manufacturers’ Association that this
action will he taken up at once by
the retail grocers.
A meeting of the retail grocers was
held in the roooms of the M. and M.
Thursday night at which time a reso
lution was adopted by those present
to grant the request of the clerks,
who contend that 7 p. m. is late
enough to work, specially during the
warm summer months. It s under
stood that the majority of the local
retail grocers close now not later
than 7 o’clock, and that the remain
der of them will do so if It is found
to be practicable.
The early closing is asked by the
grocery clerks only between June Ist
and August 31st, inclusive.
