We would remind our Nashville
contemporaries that the Memphis
papers and people, to the best Of
our recollection, while. sustaining
the action of the Ohickasaws at
Huntsville in declining to drill,
have treated 1t merely and only as
a misunderstanding of terms be-
tween gentlemen, and have INDUCED
in no impolite remarks or unkind
criticisms in regard to the Porter
Rifles or the Nashville people. Each
city is naturally proud Of its crack
military company and ready to
champion its cause. In doing SO,
however, it is not necessary to be-
come excited and indulge in Ian
guage that gentlemen would not
use face to face in polite society.
We must think that our Nashville
friends will look at it in this light
after the warmth of earnest discus
sion has subsidized 1t is in bad
taste as well as poor judgment to.
say that either company was afraid
of the other. Each had been victo-
rious in turn on its own ground,
but the losers never felt that there
was any disgrace in defeat. The
contest for the championship of
Tennessee was purely friendly, and
there was no reason why it should
be otherwise. When it was agreed
to make a final contest on neutral
ground, in the presence Of strangers,
it was natural that the members OF
both companies should put forth
their utmost endeavors to win. 1t
never occurred that either side
could be very badly beaten where
both were composed of such excel.
lent material and so we'll drilled.
3 The honor Of winning was well
worth striving for, but was not
I worth quarreling over. Better tc
