MONDAY, OCTOBER 2b,
instructive Address on “India” to
School Children by an Englishman
Mr. H. Palmer, Who Lived for Five Years in India, an Inter
esting Talker, Spoke on Subject That is Particularly In
teresting at the Present Time.
Th.# children of the Houghton Grant-
B>ar acfroel were recently given a very
flno leoticm on ' India." by Mr. H. Pal
trier. Irfeo la a native-born Englishman
and who spent five years in India. He
is thoroughly acquainted with the cus
toms and modes of living of the people
of India and his address, which is re
produced below, is exceptionally in
-1 structive and interesting on its sub
ject, which, at the present time, is im
portant from the fact that England has
already drawn on her forces from'ln
dia, and these are now fighting with
the Allies in France.
After delivering the address Mr. Pal
mer exhibited one of the odd-looking
weapons the Indian soldiers used in
time of war.
After telling briefly of the govern
ment of India, etc., Mr. Palmer said:
"The relatives of India are many
of them very handsome and striking
looking, having fine features and the
woman are often beautiful though
dark skinned. They have many re
ligions, the chief ones being those of
the Mahormmedans and the Hindus.
The Hindu religion consists of many
classes or castes of which the Brah
! min is the highest. They are chiefly
vegetarians and a Brahmin might be
1 a beggar begging in the street and yet
he considers he is doing the others an
honor when he accepts their pence and
he would not sit down at a meal with
even a rich rajali if he were not of
his caste. The sikhs are very particu
lar that no shadow from other people
shall fall on their food and will throw
it away if by any chance this happens.
The climate is very varied, the plains
very hot especially during the summer
but the hills have a delightful climate,
and there are many towns in the va
rious mountains 6 to S.OOO feet high
such as Simla Darjeeling, Mussouri
and Otacamind, etc., which are much
resorted to by the white population
during the hot weather on the plains
and are called Hill Stations.
When War Was Declared.
When war was declared between
England and Germany, Indian was one
of the first to come forward with of
fers to help of every kind, including
troops, money, etc. One Rajah of
fered everything he possessed even to
his private jewels and another wired
to His Majesty. King George, “What
orders from His Majesty for me and
my men?” When it was known that
I-ord Kitchener had accepted some of
these offers ttie news was received
with great enthusiasm in England. It
is not the first time that the Indian
army has taken part in Great Rritain's
quarrels outside the bounds of the In
dian Empire. Indian bayonets have
flashed in the fierce sun of Egypt and
the Sudan and in the waterless deserts
of Somaliland, in the dark forest of
Uganda and in the mountain snows of
Tibet, in the inhospitable regions of
Afghanistan and on the desolate shores
of the Persian Gulf and in China but
never -before have they been levelled
against Europeans. For the first time
in history Indian soldiers are to fight
against white men. The Turcos and
the Spahis of Algeria have already
crossed swords with the Germans and
our Indian soldiers would have been
justly disappointed if they had not
been allowed to do so too.
Army's Strength.
Most people have but little idea of
the great war weapon which we pos
sess in our native Indian army. Its
actual strength on the first of April,
1912, which I quote from an English
paper called “The War" was as fol-
Reproduction of the Crucifixion
Wrought by Convict in a Bottle
A negro named Jim Bussey, who is
at present anti in fact at all times on
the chain gang, being what one might
call a chronic convict, has fashioned
and made with his hands a curious
and interesting work of art, on which
he has worked in his spare time, in
Sundays and rainy days, for heaven
only knows how long. It is one of
those mystifying and never fading
•ources of wonder constructed and put
together in a bottle, for which prison
ers seem to have a particular lean
ing. The endless hours that the out
side world waste in what is known
as the exercise of liberty, prisoners
often utilize in making intricate and
delicate things in bottles. The flight
of time is nothing to them. It is a
negligible quantity. And they are ca
pable of feats of patience and pains
taking which wquld stagger the imag
ination of the most industrious person
in the world who is free. There aro
recorded instances of men with life
time sentences who have vameil the
rats which came into their cells and
trained hem to do all sorts of tricks.
One prisoner had a small company of
rats which he taught to drill like sol
diers, vlth miniature muskets and
swords which he made out of the bones
left from his Sunday dinners.
But this Is off the point. Jim Bus
sey has achieved a feat which has ru
excited the wonder of the authorities
that his masterpiece will be exhibited
at the negro fair.
Inside a gallon vinegar bottle he
has set up a miniature reproduction
of The Crucifixion. The whole is
carven out of wood nnd consists of a
platform which occupies the bottom
of the bottle, on which stand three
er'sses. The Inrgest cross Is about
six inches high, with a cross piece of
about two and three-quarter incher,
carefully mortised, glued and nailed
to It. The other two crosses are an
Inch lower. On these are crucified
three 1 tie figures, ‘-ach about two
and a half Inches long, with their
hinds and feet nailed to the cross.
There arms had to be made with
shoulder sockets, so that they might
p,ss through the three-quarter Inch
neck of the bottle. On the platform
at the foot of the cross stand or knee!
eight little figures representing sol
diers and angels.
The angel* have purple robes and
spreading golden wings, glided heave i
knows how or by what means. Jim
Bussey never asked or received any
help whatsoever In the construction of
this strange little group. It seems tj
have been a matter of pride with him
to make It entirely without outside
aid. by his own cunning and Ingenuity
and with his own old pocket knife.
Finally, the bottle contains a atoppe.’
with a crosswise peg of wood driven
through .t where the bottle opens out
below the neck, so that the stopper
can never be removed except by break
ing the bottle.
Having completed his labors, Jim

To continue quoting from this
paper, it says:
During the twenty years which have
elapsed since 18S5 the army has wit
nessed many reforms and augmenta
tions, due chiefly to preparations for
resisting the Russian menace. Un
warlike men have been weeded from
the ranks and replaced by those of a
more virile stock, “class" companies
and regiments, consisting of men of
tlie same caste or creed, have been
formed, great attention has been paid
to training, supply and transport have
been Improved, and the pay and allow
ances of the troops have been raised.
Our native troops are recruited from
fcvery warlike class in the peninsula,
and, as may be imagined, a great va
riety of races are found in the ranks.
The little swarthy mountaineers of
Nepal known as Ghurkas, beloved of
our Highlanders whose pibrqchs they
borrow, and the Sikhs whom Ranjit
Singh “the lion of the Punjab” made
the terror of India, are organized in
“class” regiments. There are Rajput
regiments recruited from both Oudh
apd the United Provinces; Jats, Do
gras, Mahrattas, descended from the
old predatory hordes of the blood
thirsty Sivjai; Pathans of the north
west frontier devoted to fierce gueril
la fighting from the cradle, Heluchis,
Hazaras, and Mohammedans from all
parts of India. Most of the native of
ficers rise from the ranks, and in
many of the cavalry regiments the men
find their own horses. It is from
men of fighting races that Dord Kitch
ener has made his choice of troops to
uphold the Union Jack on French bat
tle-fields. British officers attached
to the native army are always enthu
siastic about their commands, and have
not the shadow of a doubt that they
will proye themselves worthy com
rades to the British heroes of Mons
and Tornai.
Little But Sturdy.
Now I will give you a little descrip
tion of the Gurkhas or the Highland
ers of India as they are sometimes
called. They are little men but
sturdy. Their homes are amongst the
mountains of Nepal in the Himalaya
mountains and therefore they can
climb like wildcats. At first the
English tried to make them use only
the rifle and the bayonet but this was
found to be a mistake so they were air
lowed to keep their beloved Kukri
(which I will shew you presently) as
well as the rifle. They are crack
shots and have absolutely no fear of
anything. They have a partiality for
our kilted corps and very firm friend
ships, have been established between
the Gurkha Rifles and the Seaforth
and Gordon Highlanders and other
kindred regiments.
The Gurkhas have always given
much attention to military work and
they are born soldiers. There are 50,-
000 of them in Nepal, besides the regi
ments in the Indian Army which num
ber 20,000. They are the best fight
ing material in the world and their
courage and loyalty are known every
where.
The Sikhs and Pathans on the other
hand are big men, nearly all over six
feet. They are also good fighters ano
lo not fear death.
seems to have lost interest in the fin
ished work, and says he would be glad
to sell it if he could get a few dollars
for it. It will be on exhibition at
the negro fair.

MR. JOHN E. MUNDY
DIED ON YESTERDAY
Young Man of Sterling Char
acter Passed Away After
Long Illness. Was Son or Or
dinary and Mrs. P. B. Mundy.
In the death of Mr. John E. Mundy
at his home six miles from, Grovetown
yesterday afternoon Columbia county
loses one of its most sterling young
men. Mr. Mundy was 27 years of
age, a native of Columbia county and
the youngest child of Ordinary and
Mrs. P. B. Mundy. He was a young
man of the very highest character, a
strong personality and an ability to
make friends and keep them. His death
will bring sorrow to a large circle of
relatives and friends.
The funeral services were held at
Grovetown this afternoon and the in
terment was in the Grovetown ceme
tery. Hundreds of friends gathered
from all over Columbia, from Rich
mond and from other counties to pay a
last tribute to the young man whose
unfailing courage through years of ill
health was the admiration of all who
knew him.
A graduate of Hephzibah High
school and a student for two years at
Mercer University, Mr. Mundy was
well equipped for a most useful career.
However, he was attacked by an ill
ness which has baffled the' greatest
Physicians of all time. He made a
game fight against the dreaded dis
ease throughout and never gave up.
He had spent several years in western
Texas and Arizona and last spring
came home to spend the summer.
He had planned to return to the
West early in November, but two
weeks ago he suffered a severe atack
which put him in bed. He seemed to
rally, but it was not to be permanent
and Sunday afternoon the end came.
He Is survived by devoted parents, a
brother, Mr. H. B. Mundy, and two sis
ters, Mrs. R. W. Thiot, of Newbern,
N. C., and Mrs. G. V. Baxley, of Grove
town. Mr. W. W. Hamilton, of Qrove
town is an uncle.
The deceased was a young man of
noble Impulses, unselfish, kind and
thoughtful of others. His considera
tion for his mother was a chief char
acteristic. Never a week went by
when he was in the great Wild West
that he did not write to his mother
and his principal thought was to give
her as little worry as possible over his
condition.
The community and section In whloh
he lived suffers a great loss In the
death of John Mundy.
