The ThIrd Reeiments Omeers.

1t is by no means certain that Col John
S. Gambler win command the Third Geor-
gia Regiment. He has phy -ical disabilities
which may prevent him rom getting
commission. All reports a@ree that ne Is
an excellent gentleman, laorough soldier
and man Of ability, but f. IS claimed tha'
his physical disabilities ar such that ne
could not lead his regimen in battle. HIS
afiictIon is such that ne alks with dill
fculty
Notwithstanding the fact mat Col. Cand-
Ter is a good soldier and wants to serve the
country, a commission ought not TO be IS
sued to him if the authorits which have
charge of such matters ar satisfied that
his disabilities would not nermit him to
discharge his duties as satisfactorily as he
would discharge them if he were thorough
ly sound physically. The men OF
the Third Regiment should not
be subjected to any unnecessary
danger, and 1t is probable that
they would be subjected 10 such danger
if their colonel could not keep in touch
with them on the battle field and direct
their movements
In passing upon Col. Gamblers case, the
fact that the lieutenant colonel of the reg
iment has had no military experience must
be taken into consideration He is brill
liant man and will learn rapidly, but 1t
takes time TO make a thoroughly capable
regimental officer out of a civilian.
Col Gambler has a great many friends in
the state who would like to see him occu-
by any position TO which he aspires, but 1t
is doubtful if any of those who have rela-
tives or friends in the Third Regiment
would be willing for him to command 1t II
they should become satisfied that his disa-
bilities are such that his usefulness in the.
time of battle would be interfered with.
When not in battle he, could of course,
make use of a horse to get about, but 1t
would not be advisable to appear on horse
back, leading an infantry regiment, in the
face of the enemy. If the military au-
thorties at Washington pass him, there
will be no ground of complaint, unless I
appears that they were influenced by the
request Of the Governor but if they pass
him, knowing that the army regulations
are being violated, there win be good
ground for protest, not only by the volun-
teers of the regiment, but by the people of
the state generally.

The Spanish soldiers Surprised.


The Rough Riders" composed of cow
boys of the West and dandies from New
York clubs and ball rooms, surprised the
Spanish soldiers. Richard Harding Davis,
in his letter to the Philadelphia Ledger,
giving an account of the battle between the
Rough Riders" and the Spaniards on the
road TO Santiago quotes a Spanish pris-
oner as saying of the Rough Riders:"
They did not fight as other soldiers.
when we fired a volley they advanced
instead of going back The more we fired
the nearer they came 20 US. We are not
used to fighting with men who act So"
1t is not to be wondered at that the
Spanish soldiers were surprised, and that
they skedaddled
What the Rough Riders" did shows
that they are not ordinary soldiers. There
were only about 800 of them. They were
on a narrow trail and were attacked by
fully 1900 Spaniards, who were in am
bush. They not only stood their ground,
but they steadily advanced, and finally,
after two hours hard fighting, routed the
Spaniards and drove them from the field.
If they had retreated when they found
that they were being attacked by large
force in ambush, they would have done
just what ordinary, well trained troops
would have done-in fact, they would have
done what prudence dictated But they
are not ordinary soldiers. as they have
shown, and as they will show again when
the opportunity presents itself
, 1t was repeatedly said when they were
enlisted that they would not submit to
discipline, and that in battle they would
not obey their officers, but that each one
of them would fight in accordance with
his own notions. They surprised their
critics as well as the sSpaniards, because,
according to MIR. Davis account, they OBJ
served perfect discipline and acted with
GOODNESS and intelligence. Such soldiers
are invincible. The example of the
Rough Riders" VIII inspire the whole
army to deeds of daring. There are more
surprises in store for the Spaniards.

Hearing of some talk that he might be

Ohio says he has not made, nor does he

seem he got them without the knowledge
of the chiefs. One of the belts is of the
time of Hiawatha, the famous Iroquois

The Democratic Ticket.

There was not a great deal of interest
in the state convention of the Democratic
party, which met at Atlanta yesterday,
because the primaries of June and June
% made it certain who the nominees would
be- There was a large attendance, how
ever, Of representative members of the
parry, showing that there is no lack Of
interest in the party.
Il does not look as If there would be
much life in the campaign. The ticket is
satisfactory, and there is no doubt that
it win be elected by a large majority.
That is why the campaign will, in all
probability, be quiet one. If there were
and doubt of the success Of the ticket
the campaign orators would be heard In
every county from now until the election,
and the campaign workers would be zeal
Gus and active, but there is no ground
for thinking that the Populists hope for
success for their ticket or that they will
make much of an effort in its behalf. 1t
is doubtful if they would have nominated
a ticket if they had moi thought 1t advjs-
able to keep up their organization in order
TO take part in the Presidential campaign
in 1900.
1t would be a mistake, however, for the
Democrats TO take the position that it is
not necessary to do anything towards
arousing Democrats to the necessity of
voting for their ticket They ought to
have enough party pride TO help give
their ticket a large majority. BY staying
away from the polls they lead their polit-
ical opponents to believe they are dissat-
sfied with their party, and thus encour-
agement is given to the opposition.
Col. Gambler, the nominee for Governor,
and the other nominees will, of course, do
what they can to get out the Democratic
vote, but they cannot do all that ought
TO be done. They have a right to expect
that Democrats in all parts of the state
will exert themselves in behalf of the
ticket. They are capable and thoroughgo-
ing, and will give the state a good and
economical administration.
The Platform is, of course, in harmony
with the national Democratic platform It
gives the war with Spain a hearty in
dorsement. The war is being Endorsed by
all political parties. 1t could hardly be
otherwise, in view of the fact that all po-
uucal parties united in the demand for
the removal of the Spanish flag from
Cuba.

The snuire,s BED -

An old Highland chief. finding his
youngest son, a mere boy. sleeping on the
battlefield with a huge SNOWFALL under
his head, kicked it away, exclaiming:
''What do We want wi pillow? I'll nae
such efeeminacy in my familyw A sini-
lar aversion TO ''efeemiuacy," says the
Youths Companion, marked Charles Wa
terton, an English squire who in early
life had wandered through many lands as
a naturalist intent on making collections
of birds reptiles, insects and wild beast.
The bed room where the squire slept,
and also prepared the specimens in his
natural history collection, was in the roof,
and open to the rafters. Across a stretch
ed rope was thrown a striped blanket and
his working clothes. The furniture was
rough, coarse and scanty-an old deal Ia
bic, three crazy chairs, a deal clothes
press and a chest of drawers. The floor,
deal boards, was uncarpeted.
Mrs. Byrne, who narrates the incident
in her volume, Social Hours with Cele-
brities,' on surveying it, remarked on the
anomaly of bed room lacking bed.
i've long learned that a bed is a use
less luxury" said the squire, drawing
from corner an obong block of oak, two
feet long, ten inches wide, eight inches
deep, followed and polished in the middle.
Then ne pulled down the striped blanket,
rolled it around him and lay down on the
bare boards, resting his head on the block.
There, that's my bed! It's soon made,
and I'll answer for it none of you sleep
more soundly than l."
For thirty years the block and blanket
had been the squire's bed summer and
winter, in health and sickness. When
travelling, as he could not carry about his
timber pillow, he used the best substitute
he could devise. Once he was Mrs.
Byrne's guest in London, and, as usual,
retired to rest at o'clock The German
maid. not supposing that he had retired
at so early an hour, went into the bed
room to take in the can of hot water. She
gave a scream and rushed out. The next
morning her mistress asked for an expla-
nation.
ZACH, veil may you ask! 1 vent into de
room, and vat did 1 see? A long body roll
up in a blanket on de floor, and a cray
head on a portma nteau."

The story about Gladstone and Bright,

When Mr.. Bright was sitting for his por-

hazarded the remark: ''It must be a very

Married Daily for Three Days.

A couple were married on the north side
last week for the third time within three
days, says the Chicago Journal. And 1t
happened this way;
Invitations had been issued for an up
to-date wedding, with a reception to fol-
low. The young people, to be sure they
made no mistakes on the all-important
night, decided to have a detailed rehear-
sal two days beforehand. incidentally,
the groom-to-be secured the marriage Ii
cense, so as to have all things in good
time.
A minister who was not overwise was
sent for and at the request of the couple
went through the whole ceremony with
them. The young man solemnly prom
ised to take this woman" to be his we'd
ded wife, and the fair one by his side
promised to Honor, love and obey"
To be doubly sure that no mistakes
should occur the ceremony was rehearsed
again in the same way the following even
ing:
When the few friends had departed a
thought flashed through the mind of the
bride-to-be.
Mother" she exclaimed, 81 don't see
why 1 am not as much married now as I
ever will be!'
The mother was aghast at such sug-
gestion but the father and the neighbors
couple were at that stage married not only
once, but twice.
The wedding, however, was solemnized
as intended, and the little god of love rests
happily over the home of the lovers, who
are more contented if anything, because
they are, it is thought thrice bound to-
gether.

The santiago Situation.

The dispatches yesterday stated that
Gen. Shafter could take Santiago in forty
eight hours, but that it would cost a good
many dives. The inference from this is
that the attack upon Santiago will be de-
layed until Gen. Shafter gets his siege
guns in position. That it is not the plan
to attack that place Immediately is also
shown by the fact that reinforcements are
being sent there. These reinforcements
cannot reach Gen. Shafter before the first
part of next week, at least the reinforce
ments which have been ordered from Tam
pa cannot. If it was the purpose 60 at
tack Santiago at once It is hardly prob
able that reinforcements would be sent.
unless upon the sqpposiion that the ct
tack might not be Immediately success
full
The plan of the war department is al
legged TO be to use part of the troops
now at Santiago for an expedition against
Porto Rico TO hold Santiago after that
place has been taken only a few thousand
troops will be needed. but quite large
army win be required for military opeaa
tons In Eastern Cuba. In that part of Gu
ba there are about 10000 Spanish troops
at different points and TO these Gen. Shat
ter will probably turn his attention as soon
as he mas captured Santiago.
A quite positive statement is that Gen.
Miles will go to Santiago within the next
day or two. He will not go there 10 di-
rect operations against Santiago. He win
simply advise with Gen. Shafter. in whom
the war department has confidence. and
who will have the direction of the war
in Eastern Cuba. Gen Miles, after the
fall of Santiago. viii go to Porto Rico
He will command the expedition for the
capture Of that island. 1t is not expected
that he will remain there after the purnoea
Of the expedition is accomplished. II is
the understanding that he will command
the expedition against Havana. The move
ment against that city will be begun in the
fall it is said, provided Spain does not
get enough Of the war before that time.

State Entomologist Scott, who has just
made a tour of the fruit growing sections
of the state. is quoted as saying the San
Jose scale is present in large numbers in
nearly all of the orchards, and that con-
siderable damage is being done. He says,
however, that the scale has many natural
enemies, and that with their assistance it
is possible for the farmers to keep il
down. He holds out slttle hope of the
eradication of the pest; indeed. he says it
is practically impossible to get rid of it
entirely, but that by persistent effort the
scale can be kept down to such extent
that the trees will bear fun crops Of fine
fruit He recommends spraying in the
winter with kerosene and water, one part
of oil to three of water about a gill Of
