Smith re-lives the days of that
bitter conflict when Southern sol-
diers. clad in scant uniforms dur-

enough food to keep them alive,
fought for their cause and lost. His
eyes are flled with fire, and he be-
comes again the patriotic youth
fluenza a few years ago to retire
from any active work, although he
is still in good health except tor
falling eyesight. Smith spends his
time recalling the bitter days of
the Civil War and delights in tell-

tles and-bls activities during those
tragic years from 1861 to 1885.
