MON to hearing the testimony Of DR. Hof, chief
surreon Of the Third Army Corps stationed at

ing Commission gave the remainder Of to-day to
the reading Of papers submitted by Secretary
Alser with his statement concerning the conduct
Of the war. The papers include orders for the
movement OF troops. communications to the Sec
rotary Of War from the officers in the field and
documents bearing on the subject of the invest
CATION.
The documents reveal the fact that General
Miles recommended the occupation of the Isle of
Pines about the time Of the battle OF Santiago
and that Secretary Alser disapproved the sug-
Sestion 1t also appears that General Miles rec
commended that some point between Santiago
and Porto Rico be taken previous to the begin
ming OF either campaign The correspondence
also revealed the fact that there was an appar-
cnt conflict OF authority between Generals Miles
and Shafter at Tampa before the Santiago cam
paign was begun 1t also shows that orders
we're issued by the Secretary Of War that II
General Shafter should be disabled by sickness
or other cause the command of the troops at
Santiago should devOlve on General wheeler
and on the next in command in case ooth smarter
and Wheeler were disabled
The Commission has requested Major Louis
l. Seaman. a surgeon in the LIST volunteer En-
c;neers 10 appear before it, and he is expected
10 testify at to-morrow's session.

had each a specked apple. The first
recognized the defect, and threw the
fruit into the nearest stream. The
second cut away the bad part and ate
what was left The third sat him down
bemoaning the fate that sent the rotten
ness until the whole decayed. Some of
us, like Judas Iscariot, discover our
character-specks and throw away our
lives; others, wiser, like the Prodigal
Son, discard the worthless portions as
soon as they are seen to be worthless,
and henceforth live only on the good
and wholesome things; and there are
others, who have neither the decision
of Judas, nor the good-sense of the
Prodigal. They make one wrong
choice, and spend the rest of their lives
bemoaning it. The bow is bent, but
the arrow which was to have hit the
quarry, has clicked" and wounded the
over-eager hand. Thereupon though
the game be plentiful; though the
keeper put the bow once more into the
still useful hand, though other arrows
rest in the full culver, the game passes
unheeded, the bow warps for want of
work, and the arrow-heads rust in idle
ness. For one false shot, therefore, a
quiver-full of arrows is lost and an
empty larder cries out upon the faint
hearted one. How many of us are here
described!?

Florence, Ala. Herald.]
The Touring mill is assured, as all
the details have been arranged and
the Foster Manufacturing Co. s
plant bought for $500. The factory
is fine piece of property, admir-
ably located on the NJ. & G. railroad
and L. & n. railroad, in East Flor
ence, with a good landing on the
Tennessee river. The main build
ing is a two story brick with spIen-
did boilers and engines and eleva-
tors and is admirably suited for
a Touring mill. Machinery will be
bought for 100 barrel mill, which
will be increased later, as the build
ing has floor space for three times
that capacity. The building was
bought of j. T. Montgomery, Taun-
ton, Mass, through his agent, A. E.
Walker. The gentlemen who will
own and operate the mill are Messrs.
j. @. Rea, I. j. Rea and ]. j. Flem-
ing OF Columbia, Tenn. Mr. j. G..
Rea is president and 7. j. Rea will
be resident manager. Mr.. j. G..
Rea has been book keeper in one of
the Columbia banks for the past
three years. All the gentlemen are
substantial business men aud are
successful in their various business
pursuits. The mill will be in opera
tion by the first of July, in time to
handle the wheat crop of Lauder
dale county. The mill will create
local market for wheat and en-
able the farmers to have their own
wheat ground. ]. G. Rea q Co., will
also put in a grain elevator and
ware house and operate a grist mill
in connection with the -four mill.
The locating of the mill here, means
much for Florence and the farmers
of LauGerdale county.
