If Congress would adjourn and GO
home jingoes might quit shaking red
rags at Spain. 1t is right for the
administration to put the United
States in position to protect hel
ports from invasion, and all of ou1
defenses should be as strong as pos.
sible, but we see no good reason tc
precipitate a war; it would be disas.
trous to the South, because the pro-
ducts of this section would be para.
lyzed. We are cotton growers, and
cotton has its principal market on
the other side of the Atlantic. II
this country becomes involved in a
war with foreign power, our ports
would be blocked and general stag.
nation would set in. The grain
growers of the West are differently
situated, and if war is declared, their
produce would be consumed and
prices would 60 up with a bound
Then another view is, that should
hostilities begin, our Southern ports
are much nearer to the enemy than
the ports of the North, East, and
West and we will be the first to re.
ceire the fire from the Spanish fleet
We therefore see no good sense in
the Southern people rushing pell-
nell into conflict which will make
them the breast-works for the North,
West, and East. The North, with its
arms and ammunition factories, can see
big money in a war; the West, with
its food supply, can see the prospect
for wave of financial prosperity
should there he resort to arms, and
the East with factories, ship yards,
and cool, calculating and scheming
people, can we'll afford to pat the hot
blooded Southerner on the back ard
encourage him to stir up the row.
There is absolutely nothing in it for
the Southerner, nothing but the glo-
ry of making history for future SEN

A Mr.. C. B. Smith, from where we
know not, nor do we recollect ever
having seen him, comes out in the
Columbia State to express an opin-
ion, contrary to the one we hold re-
garding Colonel George Tillman's
physical condition. Mr.. Smith gives
Uncle George certificate of health
and assuming that he is competent
to Judge of such matters, we are graf
fled to learn even through Mr.. Smith
that sUncle George" is active and
can make q strong race. A man OF
seventy-three years of age may, if al
lowed to enjoy quiet, add several
more years TO his life, but when at
that time of his life he is brought for
ward to take an active part in polt-
ical campaign, through sunshine and
rain, at season OF the year when
the heat often prostrates young men,
not to say the harrussing that he will
be subjected to, we think it wrong
and an injustice done the man. There
is no man in the State who has won
our admiration more than Hon.
George D. Tillman, we regard him
an intellectual giant. His public
career has been al honor to himself
and to his State, but he has filled
his mission, his race is run, and he
should be permitted to enjoy q we'll
earned rest in the shades of private
life, and we reiterate what we have
said upon a former occasion that it
is not at all creditable to those, who
are responsible for Colonel Tiliman S
candidacy.

Bert Spencer Writes in Most Entertaining
Fashion About the Experiences Of a Kan
sas Boy in the Great Mobolizing Camp.

EDITOR REGISTER: 1t is pretty
hard TO keep tract of time here, but
l think we arrived a week ago. You
know we were camping in awful mud
at Topeka; it is quite different here,
the most recent rain being the one,
apparently, in which our friend Noah
took an active part The great trains
of army wagons through the Park
have made it exceedingly dusty, and
the mercury stands in the neighbor-
hood of 100 degrees all day, going
down to about zero at night. Water
is scarce and there is loud Kansas
roar going up from the 2lst about
1t. They are building a pipe line to
supply US with water, and / suppose
the line will be built by the time the
war closes.
The 2lst is now suffering from an
epidemic of measles. We had eigh-
teen cases yesterday, but today eight
of them were returned to duty and
the others are dong well. Aside
from this, the health of the command
has been very good. Major Arm
strong, of Ell Dorado, the surgeon of
this regiment, is accompanied by his
wife. She is very charming woman
and expects to share all the perls
and hardships the regiment may en-
counter during the war.
We have now drawn our uniforms
and l think that the Kansas troops
will compare very favorably with
any on the grounds. The men were
all marched down to the creek where
they batbed and then threw away
the remnants of clothes they had
been wearing. The change in their
appearance was marvellous.
This regiment has one of the best
camps here. The camp is directly
around the monument which marks
the spot where Gen. Preston Smith
was killed, and where some of the
hottest fighting of the great battle
took place. Chickamauga Park con-
sists of over 1000 acres and nature
has been very lavish in her gifts, for
it is certainly an exceeding beautiful
spot. Magnificent government roads
wind through the Park in all direc-
tions and at every conceivable angle.
The white tents of the soldiers are
arranged along these roads without
any apparent system. Many anus
ing incidents have arisen over the
difficulty of moving about and find
ing desired locations. 1t is the
easiest thing in the world to get lost
here and very often men have tc
spend the night in the guard house
of other regiments, being absolutely
unable to find their way home.
Col, Fitch got quite serious fall
from his horse yesterday and was
quite badly bruised. The fall was
not due TO his lack of knowledge Of
horsemauship, for he is splendid
rider. He is very popular and
capable officer. His fall was unfor
tunate for his face was bruised, anC
has temporarily spoiled the looks o
one of the handsomest officers in tn,
army here.
