Vainly Kicks Against Colonel Rays
Third Regiment Going to Santiago.
Macon. Ga. August Ex-senator Ba-
con to-day sent Il long telegram TO the
War Department protesting against the
movement of Colonel Rays Third regi-
ment, United States volunteers to San
tiago de Cuba. Following was his teIe-
gram:
Macon. Ga. August ). 1898.
Hon. Russell y. .Alger, Secretary of
War, Washington:
1T is distinctly understood through
out the whole country tina the Third
regiment, United States volunteers. al
though called immune" are no more
immune from yellow fever than any
other volunteer regiment. 1t is COM
posed almost exclusively of GeorgianS.
nearly al Of whom are very young men
and many Of them minors. When enlist
ed. the Government subjected them to Il
rigid physical examination. but no proof
was demanded or desired as to their i'm
munity from yellow fever. 1t is not
even pretended that a man in the regi-
ment has ever had yellow fever. To
send these young men and boys to San
tiago at this time, with no enemy to
fight. is to expose them to the same
deathly peril from yellow fever as is
now said to confront those who having
reapcd the honOrS are now demanding
to be sent to Il northern seaside. If
more troops were needed now at SANTA
90. or if fighting We're to be done the
order for this regiment would be APP
proved by all, but it is a wholly differ
ent matter to send them into Il peStil-
nee that other soldiers who are prob
ably more nearly immune than they,
may be rcmoyed from the danger. \
solemn sense of my duty to those young
men impels me. therefore,. To request
most earnestly and urgently that the
order for their rnmoval to Santiago be
revoked. | SEND this without the knowl-
edge Of any officer or man in the regi-
ment.
tSigned.) "A. O. BACON,
Omitted States Senator"
Against this Colonel Ray. who had not
been consulted most vigorously protest
ed. saying it was an unwarranted in
reference on the Senator's part. He
declared his regiment had not been or
ganized on an immune basis, and that
it was not Il Georgia regiment ut all.
All the officers of the regiment signed
Il protest against any revocation of or
dcrS. and as neither Senator Bacon nor
Colonel Ray have received any lnforIna-
ton to the contrary the regiment will
move tomorrow night to Savannah and
sail from that city Sunday morning for
Santiago.

POLITICS IN GEORGIA.

wrangle in which a woman takes up the
cause of Populism. The outcome of the
argument is being watched with interest.
Reidsville Journal: Some of our Popu-
list politicians imagine that they are 10
inch guns in the campaign, but Oct 9Th
will reveal the fact that they have only
been firecrackers loaded with gas.
The Democrats in Oconee county will
not run a candidate for the legislature
against the Populist nominee Mr.. w. P.
Elder, the Populist nominee, however, will
have opposition. Mr. w. w. Price, who,
up TO two years since, was Populist, but
who Is now an Independent, will be his
opponent. Mr.. Price is running as an In
dependent and will make good race.
Fitzgerald Courier: The address of Gen.
Clemant A. Evans to our citizens on Sat

Douglasville New South: The leaders of
the Populists party expressed themselves
almost to a man, against the use of money

but right. But how silly it sounds, when
we know that they are preparing for the
hardest battle in their history and those
two things are essential to success in
Douglas county politics. They have used
it, and they VIII use 1t again. Watch them
