Yet there was nothing to indicate that he

would swear if it were not for the rubber
dam in his mouth And at that there was
something in his gurgles that seemed to in
dicate that the dam was not all rubber

The News undertakes to defend Mr. john
son in connection with the school loans. 1t
says that when the lands are sold the
money will be used to pay off the liability.
The lands have been offered for sale, and
no one will purchase. The point is that Mr..
Johnson loaned $1,000 each on lots assessed
at an average of less than $500; that he
violated the law in loaning upon the lots
twice their value instead of half; that he
knew that the sale of the lots the day the
money was loaned was bogus transaction;
that he wrote the name Jordan Freeman,
his mark" to a paper in connection with the
loan which Freeman has declared that he
knows nothing about; that all the money
loaned on the seven lots was paid to Land
ers or some other party to pay the in
coming county treasurer. and, finally, that
he could not have been ignorant of the fact
that the transaction was in violation of law.
If he did not know it, he is not fit to be
county auditor.

The testimony of the witnesses heard to-
day did not add materially to that taken {
other places by she board. Chief Quarter
master Howard gave a detailed history OF
the work of his department, and said the
corps was as well equipped in July as any
body of soldiers that ever took the field.
Colonel Allison testified that the quality
of rations issued at Camps Alger and
Meade was excellent. He claimed Ignorance
of cooking among the volunteers was the
cause of much of the sickness at Camp AL
ger and suggested that the commissary SER
geants be appointed from the noncommis-
stoned officers in the regular army. He said
there would be less sickness among tho
troops if they did not eat dainties shipped
to them by friends at home. Colonel ALI

turn to the commissary department OF

Gen. George w. Davis, commander of the
Second Division of the Second Corps, said
Camp Thomas, at Chickamauga, was one
of the best camping grounds in the country,

at Camp Alger to keeping the men there too
long and camping them too closely together.

sickness. There was no failure OF the COM

Gen. James A. Beaver left this evening
for his home at Bellefonte, to remain until

with the location of Camp Meade, and say
they have no fault to find with anything
they saw here. General Wilson thinks 1t
would be a wise movement to bring the
troops here next spring if they are not
