Capt J W Mathews, well known old Confederate Veteran, now eighty years of age, was here Saturday from his home at Alvon, looking well and, as he thinks, now on the way to complete recovery from rheumatism from which he has suffered for months. The Captain informed us that he is one of the 9 survivors of the "Immortal 600" placed by the Federals under fire of Confederate guns in Charleston harbor during the war - one of the barberous incidents of the Civil War yet well remembered. Capt Mathews has with his as his guest his brother, Judge C R Mathews, of Custer county, Neb, now 84 years of age.
