FEAsTING OF THE SOLDIERS.
L Was a Most Successful and Fully
Appreciated Event.

camp John B. Gordon. ST. Simons Isl
and Ga. Aug. 26.-The biggest thing in
the way of a barbecue ever attempted in
this section was successfully carried
through at this camp to-day when the
citizens of Brunswick and Glynn county
entertained the Second North Carolina
regiment and the Texas boys In all
nearly l,500 people We're fed, and at its
conclusion, there was sufficient left over
Tor two meals for the entire crowd in
camp. Such open hearted and generous
treatment is unparalleled in this war, and
the soldier boys are as enthusiastic as
they can be over the way they have been
entertained.
Inc barbecue was originally proposed by
Mr.. Hal Jennings some weeks ago. and
almost every citizen of Glynn county con-
trlhuted in some way towards making ii
success. The ladies of Brunswick ex-
efted themselves and the men of the city
ana county gave beeves sheep and all
KINDS OF meat for the cue Ii required
a large amount, and it is estimated that
-,9OO pounds of meat alone was cooked
ms required twenty-five cords of wood
Tor the fire, and the time consumed in
getting il done was many hours.
IN addition 10 the barbecue there were
many tables spread with lunches and
sweet meats, while lemonade was furnish
ed by the barrel, for each company.
Tonight when the Morning News CORE
spohdent made tour of the camp he
Iound every man in il. from the highest
oIhcer down, praising the people of Bruns-
WICK and saying that this camp has re-
celVea more consideration from private
cltlzehS than any camp in the country.
ErlNate Nash of q Tb tr1
Texas, superintended the barbecue assist
ed by Messrs. Townsend Berrie and
others, and the manner in which the meats
We're cooked was perfect. Each company
had its tables spread in its own street and
twenty ladies waited on each set of tables
The chairmen of these various committees
were Mesdames Hoodenpyle, Bailey. RAY
mond, Conoley, Anderson, Kennon, Pear
son, Blanton, Horton Misses Lula Baker
Kate Dillon. Mrs. Jennings was chairman
of the dancing committee, and Col Bur
gwyn allowed the band to furnish music
for the occasion. He also issued an order
dispensing with dress parade for the day
in order that the music could continue
on uninterruptedly.
Another feature of the day was the is
suing of an order releasing all the Dris-
oners from the guard house, so that they
could enjoy the festivities.
The barbecue was opened with PRAYER
by Chaplain Osborne On behalf of the
citizens of Glynn county. DR.. w. b Bur
roughs delivered an address, in which ne
told of how much the people appreciated
the soldiers, who had left their homes to
go to war and were now amongst us
This speech was responded to by Mont
gomery M. Folsom, editor of the Times.
on behalf of the soldiers.
During the time the feast was on there
was frequent speech and toast-making.
and the day closed with one of the great
est successes to the citizens credit that
has ever been noted here.

PERSONNEL OF COMMISSION.
How the British Look Upon Presi-
dent McI[inIey's Appointments.

London, Aug. 27.-The Times this morn
ing. referring editorially 10 the American
Peace Commission, says: The commits
sion is strong in personnel and in policy,
and must be taken to represent President
McKinley's concurrence in the inclination
of the Republican party towards policy
of colonial expansion. The nomination o.
Mr.. White may be due to the Presidents
resolve not to ignore the interests aud
suscepubihties Of the Church of Rome in
the final settlement of the Philippines
IF it be true that President Mckinley
is, as he seems 10 be, resolved to hold
something more than Manila, the logic of
the situation will probably lead him in
the end to occupy the whole of the arch
ipelagO. Moreover, berefI of Manila, the
Philippines would obviously be nothing
but a costly burden which Spain would
soon probably attempt TO relieve herself
of in a manner little acceptable to the
United States especially looking to the
immense war bill Spain has to pay and
The absolute necessity for retrenchment."
