The Augusta Chronicle refuses to boost
the ambition Of the governor of IRE rgia
to become brigadier-g general. $50 far
as our knowledge of Governor Atkinson
goes" it says, che has had no active
participation IN military beyond riding
horseback, accompanied by members OF
his staff, on various public occasious.'
If Governor Atkinson's military expert
ence consists in being able to stick to a
horse his longing for a brigadie"-g ener-
alship seems a little fantastical. TIE

That DeIuge of BnIIngsgate.

From the Waynesboro True Citizen.
All! That deuging of the state with
political literature to prove the brave
old soldier, Gambler, liar and a VILLAIN
will bear fruit at the polls, we think
for Gambler. His courage, his honesty
his love for bis people have been tested
Instead of giving him credit for it, the
greed for political preferment has
brought out those who can publish these
ISLANDERS. These days the people do not
read them, but they resent them all the
same. Colonel Gambler is as honest, as
capable and as true patriot as any of
his tTaducerS.

choice of the two candidates tor com
missioner of agriculture The two
candidates are Hon. r. 7. Nesbitt, the
present incumbent, and Hon. O. B.
Stevens of Dawson. Eight years ago
Mr.. NeSbitt defeated Commissioner
Henderson on the plea that Mr.. Hen
derson bad held the Office long enough.
Mr.. Henderson had then been commits
sioner eight years, Mr.. Nesbitt has
made an efficient commissioner, but if
eight years (taking Mr.. Nesbitt's ar
gument) is the limit that an incum-
bent may hold the office Mr.. Nesbltt
deserves no reelection. Mr.. Stevens is
a practical and successful farmer. He
has recently represented his distric5
in the state senate with honor and
will make the state an efficient and
successful commissioner of agricut-
ure.

LENGTH OF THE WAR.
Judge Mackey Thinks It VIII Extend Over
Three or Four Years.

Hon. Thomas J. Mackey of South Car
DINA, who was captain of engineers in
the confederate army, and did splendid
service in the structure OF the fartifica-
tions at Richmond and other points, was
seen in Washington recently.
In 1866 he Tade a thorough examina-
ton of Moro Castle, and the plans there
of, drawn by him, are in the war depart
mant. Judge Mackey will no doubt 90
to Cuba in very short time as an eugi-
neer in The United States army. IN a
conversation with a Washington Post
reporter the judge took very different
view OF the probable length of the con
tict from that generally entertained.
81 think said he, "that our war with
Spain will extend over period Of three
or four years, and probably much longer.
To achieve final victory we Will be forced
t. lard an army on Spanish soil, aud
that will bring on the greatest battle in
the annals of history. A quarter of a
million # men will be engaged on either
side. The taking of Cuba and Puerto
Rico, instead of marking the termination
of the struggle, will only be its inception,
and the enemy is wise enough to have
disc counted the loss of this territory.
Spain has population of 10 900, 900, and
as @aTlike race. Unless we administer
crushing blow on their own soil they
will not stop fighting for the next thirty
years."
