A NEW THOUGHT ON GETTYSBURG.
The New Orleans IImes-Democrat has
found a new reason for the victory at
Gettysburg. 1t is:
Our great Gen. Lee was the victim of an
Indigestion, and it cost the South dear. 1t
lost us the battle of Gettysburg! The bat
tie of Gettysburg is singular exception to
Gen. Lees battles. 1t wasn't Seen. Lee"
who fought it; it shouldn't count against
him. His usual skill is wanting at Gettys-
burg. There must be cause for it. He was
sick, and not in possession Of his usual
equanimity and fine mental powers.
The writer goes on to explain that for
long time before marching into Penn
sylvania Lee had been faring very
poorly y.
Gen. Lee was very fond of old Virginia
fapjack S-wondrous cakes of African in
vention-thin as wafer and big nearly as
a cart wheel, and when made of new -four
and served hot with fresh butter and maple
molasses and folded and folded, layers thick,
they are feast for the gods But Gen. Lee,
the best and tenderest of men, rs we'll as the
greatest, hadn't it in his heart to fare well,
much as his ample means would have al
lowed, when his men were suffering for
food; and if one wanted a poor dinner he
had only to drop in on Gen. Lee at that hour.
He lived butlittle better than his men. This
greatly disturbed his darky cook, and when
the army advanced into Pennsy lvania, flow
ing with milk and honey and other good
things edible, he said: Well Use gwine to
git something good for Marse Robert for
once, if he never gifts none no mo-" So,
skirmishing around, he got up the necessary
ingredients for the Generals favorite cake.
The darby, in his pride as chef and jealous
love for his master, ontdid himself on that

Union! Some time ago it was "craze" to
find National flower; why not have Ma
tional cake? / suggest that at Thanks

the pumpkin pie!
Perhaps some day the Southerners
will comprehend that the real reason
that the rebels lost the battle of Gettys-
burg was through no accident or Gen
eralship or lack of Generalship on either
side, but from the fact that we had there
some 10000 mighty good men of the
Army of the Potomac, who went thither
for the express purpose of winning a
victory. The rebels bucked up against
them with $4,000 very good men, but
not SO good on an average as those who
wore the blue, and the inevitable result
was they were whipped. That is the
history of the battle in very few words.
Nothing could have changed the result
from the hour that the Army Of the
Potomac was concentrated on the hills
around Gettysburg, though the defeat
of the rebels might have been made
overwhelming if Gen. Meade had been
more aggressive.

the Ninth Corps, and lost 81 killed and
Sc who died from disease.
The 3oth Mo. did not go out until
August, 1864. A month later 12O men
and 2 officers were massacred by the
guerrillas at Centralia, Mo. Altogether
it lost 1872 men killed and Ga from dis
ease. The 44th Mo. did not go out until
September, 1864, but lost 65 killed and
173 from disease.
These facts show that when man is
casting slurs on the latter-day, big
bounty men," he simply does not know
what he is talking about. While it is
true that a number of these regiments
saw little or no fighting and suffered but
slightly, the undeniable fact is that a
majority of them got into as hard fight
ing as there was during the war, and
that those that did 20 showed as much
gallanty rs any others, and that they
suffered appalling losses in a very short
time. Those which did not simply had
that luck. They were subject to the
orders of their superior officers, and
went where they were sent. None of
them had any choice in the matter.

OUR TOWN FIRST.

The Weekly Advertiser takes up the

gested ny THE TIMES, and editOrlally
commends it as good thing. 1t goes
on to say, in yesterdays issue, that
"the day and Occa sion will be observed
June !, 1898, on st. Simon"
Right there, THE TIMES, which is
for Brunswick first, last and all the
time, takes issue with its weekly
neighbOr. THE TIMES is. in fact, very
much surprised that the Advertiser
should place itself in position which
is, even indirectly, inimical to its
own city. 1t is perhaps unnecessary
to remind the Advertiser that the Sa-
vannah papers, in discussing the cele-
bration, did not suggest Tybee. for
the simple reason that they are for
their city first, and their resorts Incl
dentally. Such has been the TINES
idea in advocating the bl-centennIal.
This paper will always be found say
ing good words for the islands, except
when they conflict with the interests
of Brunswick. The OglethOrpe cele-
bration must occur in Brunswick.
There should be and will be side trips
and accompanying demonstrations at
st. Simon, but the scene and center of
the bi-centennial will be in this city.

The Shakers have made q discovery
which is destined to accomplish much
good. Realizing that three-fourths of
all our sufferiDgs arise from stomach
troubles, that the country is literally
filed with people who cannot eat and
digest food, without subsequently suf
fering pain and distress, and that
many are starving, wasting to mere
skeletons, because their food does
them no good, they have devoted much
study and thought to the subject. and
the result IS this discovery of their
Digestive Cordial.
A little book can be obtained from
your druggist that will point out the
way of relief at once. An iDvestiga-
ton will cost nothing and will result
in much good.

OMITS BRUNSWICK.

THE TINES dislikes to disapprOve Of
things that are intended to do good,
but it feels it must give our friend, P.
j. Moran, of the Constitution, a gentle
nudge, and call his attention to the
fact that he has done Brunswick q
very grave injustice.
Mr.. Moran has been "writing up" the
wiregrass and South Geol gia for the
Constitution. His articles have been
most interestingly written, and reveal
the splendid material development of
this GOd-favored section of the state.
They have fulfilled special mission
in making this development known to
the world, and thus placing new fea-
Their in the cap of the Constitution.
In his article in Fridays issue, Mr..
Moran publishes an extended list of
the developing industries OF South
Georgia, the enterprises that make
communities and give them that push
aud activity without which they can
not thrive. Aud here Is where THE
TIMES protest comes In. In his three
llumns of enumeration Mr.. Moran
does not mention single Brunswick
industry or give the slightest intlma-
ton that there is such town as
Brunswick or such county as Glynn

To go into few particulars:
The article mentions five barrel fac
tories, three at Savannah, one at Cor
dele and one at Helena, emitting the
two large plants which give employ
