.sDoes it rain much in that country,
Mr.. Studley?"
ssI should say it did. Nearly every af-
teruoon, about 8 O'Clock, for the past
two weeks and long before then, 1t
would start in and pour down on the
camp for Is or 20 minutes and afterwards
steam would rise from the ground and
tents in perfect clouds. "
Returning to the sickness among the
men, Mr. Studley referred to the
story that had been advanced that seeds OF
disease were unearthed when the ground
was upturned for the sinks. etc, required
BY the command. 1t is we'll known that
Chickamauga was an old camp ground
for various troops in the years past, and
the soil being of hard clay might not be
of a purifying nature. This being the
case it is worthy of speculation whether
or not many of the cases of fever, mala-
rial and typhoid especially. may not prop
erly be traced to the germs of disease de-
posted on this very site during the war
of the rebellion.
In response to the inquiry as to chow
the South Portland boys were gettin
along" Mr.. Studley said. he was "glad to
say that most of them have pulled through
all right. To be sure there have been a
few deaths but the percentage Of sickness
among them was smaller than the aver.

care there any red cross nurses in the
hospitals?''
"No. All of the attendants are ia ker
from the regularly enlisted corps and
men are detailed on extra and special
duty from the diff erent companies and
they do the very best they can. Our regi
mental hospital is one of the best cared
for on the ground, and all the men have
good word to say for DR.. O'Neil who
is painstaking in his efforts to minister
to the wants of the sick and nothing that
he could do to make things comfortable
| for the boys who are unfortunate to be
taken sick has been overlooked by him.
"Have you changed camp many times
at the campf" was asked.
"Yees, was the reply, ''four or five
different times and the fates seemed
against US, for about the tims our camI
was struck and we got ready for the
change, rain would visit us although
we thought we had always picked fine

the camp at Chickamauga 1 weighed
fully 143 pounds. After being there two
weeks I tipped the scales at just 105
pounds-the result of the facilitating and
enervating effects of hot Southern sun
to one not acclimated. My case was not
an exceptional one, for most everyone
suffered more or less, and some looked as
if they had been drawn through KIN OF

Chow about the food and water at the
caJnp?" was then asked.
"When we first went there" said he
"there was a good deal OF complaint
about both. but of late the water is bet

food has been decidedly improved"
SIS there much sickness at the camp?"
"Yes," replied Mr.. Studley. 81 have

morning at sick call 40 or 80 men from

Waco, Texas. February 1s,--Tho county
democratic executive committee met today
to elect county chairman. A few Of tho
members of the committee came in last
night and others this morning, the call
for the meeting being for p, M. Consid-
cradle interest was felt in the meeting. as
one or two local questions were involved
and the interested parties have been eager
ly watching the trend OF affairs In the
first place. MS stated in these dispatches
some time ago, the congressional race has
figured in the discussion of n county chair
man, the anti Henry people throwing down
the gauntlet by offering candidate in the
person of r. l.. Johnson. The friends of
MIR. Henry have entered protest against
the election of Johnson on the ground that
he is a strong partisan of r. II. Harrison,
Mr.. Henry's opponent. They have insisted
that the committee ought 10 elect chair
man from among their number. Mr.. .. l..
Strihling, Congressman Henry's law part
ner, announced last night that il the COM
mittce decided to eject a chairman from
outside Of the committee and Mir. Johnson S
claims were still urged, he would announce
tor the place himself aud lei the commit
II
Henry man.
Another contest that has caused some
feeling is the race for Judge of the Fifty
fourth district. Judge Sam r. Scott. the
present incumbent, Is candidate for re-
election, and Hon. Jae W. TAYLOR. OK
county attorney, is his opponent. Judge
Scott lives at Marlin, Falls county, and
Joe Taylor lives in Waco. Falls and Me-
Lehman counties compose the district, Me-
Lehman having twenty one votes In the
convention and Falls twelve. II Is 81 d
