CAMP JOHNSTON.
ofhcers of Third Are Happy That Regi-
 ment Will Not Be Mustered Out.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald. Camp Johnston, Mobile, Aug. 23.-,rhe of hcers of the Third regiment have been on the anxious seat the past week on ac- count of the published rumors of their early mastering out. This anxiety how
 ever, has been somewhat allayed in the
 last day or two by the receipt of informa- ton that they were to be retained in the service.
 To muster out the Third now would entail considerable financial loss on the ofi1cers who went to great personal expense Tn raising their respective companies. For instance, there are twelve companies in the regimnt, not one of which cost it's commissioned officers less than $500, and one or two of them running as high as $SOO These expenses were incurred while assembling the men for examination and sustaining them until their arrival in Mo- bile.
 Thsce of the twelve companies came from birmingham, and parts of two others. These three companies cost their officers between $l 200 and $1 300. The officers of the regiment are unani- mously in favor of remaining in the serv- ice, and now have a committee in Wash ington urging the presit and the war department not to muster them out The committee has been in Washington since Friday, and have already sent very en- couragng telegrams.
 The regiment is now fully equipped and if ordered to move tomorrow could do so in good condition. Guns were issued to the Third battalion Friday, and Kharki uniforms were shipped from the north several days ago and will be supplied the men as soon they arrive. It is the opinion among the officers that tho Third will be ordered to either Cuba or Porto Rico within the next thirty days, and they are all anxious for the order to come. They have asked to be sent to some country either for active service or garri- son duty.
 Payrolls for August will be made out this week and payday will follow soon after ! the first of September. AS some of the companies have not yet received any money the paymaster's arrival will not be unwel- come
 The camp is exceptionally healthy, there being at present less than one per cent of the men sick and the little sickness here is of a very mild type. There is no typhoid fever in camp.

He was here today and published the following challenge to his opponent through an afternoon paper:
 Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 23 1898. Hon. Willis Brewer, Hayneville, Ala. Dear Sir I am candidate for the demo- cratic nomination for congress from the Fifth Alabama district, and 1 am informed that you are a candidate for the same po- sition. There are issues upon which you and I widely differ.
 I, therefore, think that the democrats of the Fifth district are entitled to hear us on the issues of the day before they select either of us to represent them in con- grss, and l hereby challenge you to joint discussion before the democrats of the Fifth district, the time and place to be mutually agreed upon.
 l presume the democrats of Lowndes county will give you the delegation from that county, and I understand that you concede the delegation from Chambers and Randolph to me. Now I would sug- gest that we confine our discussions Gas the time is short) to the counties of Clay, Coosa, Tallapoosa, Macon, Fillmore and Au- tauga-

b. +. Tillinghast,s Forthcoming Work on
Rock Island Arsenal.


b. F. Tillinghast's new work,
Rock Island Arsenal in Peace and in
War" is soon to be issued from one
of the biggest publishing houses in
the country at Chicago. Mr.. Tilling
hast, who was in Rock Island yester-
day, said he expected the book to be
out early in-the month of December
by the 10th at the outside. The man
uscript is now in the hands of the
printers, and the $50 illustrations
that are to embellish the publication
will be completed this week Mr..
Tillinghast has closed all his con-
tracts, that for the paper. which
is to be of an especially high
grade and superior finish having gone
to Massachusetts, mill which is to
make special quality and design.
As to the exact number of copies to
be printed Mr.. Tillinghast has not
vet fully decided. He has i general
idea, but the expense is so great in
connection with the publication he is
naturally not anxious to have any I'M
necessary surplus of copies, and hence
is now making a hurried canvass of
the tri-city field before determining
this one point which is still open. He
finds that he can leave this question
open for two weeks more, and
in the meantime orders for
copies or for space may be sent
to his Davenport address. In Daven-
port through the Business Mems as
sociation, the banks, the manufac-
turers and jobbers, subscription has
already been made for 5000 copies, it
being the purpose of many to send
the book out as Christmas souvenirs.
The book will include 200 pages
and 250 illustrations, and the fact
that it bears the sanction of the war
department and that the material
gathered at the great shops at the
arsenal. whether descriptive or illus
trative, was with the approval
of the department, through Gen.
Flagler and Maj. Blunt, gives it
an authorativ and official standing that
adds to its value. 1t is to be in
sense historical, although it will deal
more particularly with Rock Island
arsenal of today and its possibilities
for the future, what it is ordinarily
and what the war has demonstrated
it may be. In the hands of so capable
an author and painstaking compiler,
Rock Island Arsenal in Peace and
in War" cannot fail to fulfill every an
ticipation and every promise that may
be made for it.
