Carter was in a battle at Corinth
in which he and his men took eight

veteran remarks that he dodged ap-

However, he escaped with only a
slight wound in his right arm. v.

Many people today have been
misinformed about, the treatment

lived.
When Carter was only six years
old he could sing all the verses in
the Battle of New Orleans song and
remarks that he attended every
singing school near him until he
was,60 years-old. ,
Professors at the Ballinger high
school state that Carter is still a
genius at mathematics and that his
mind is very alert for his
years. Although Carter has ’
90 years he still believes tiiat the
Golden Rule is the best philosophy
of life and that every person should
follow it. Carter is a great reader
of the Bible and believes firmly In
its teachings.
