Overfed They Are Anxious to
Become Real Soldiers.
CAMP ALGER, Va.
T1isaa IN 1903


EDlToRs LEADEn In order that
our friends in Upton county may
know Of our situation since we left
them, we wish to state through your
columns that our treatment by the
officials of the State OF Tennessee
has not been altogether what the
volunteers of State like Tennessee
deserve.
We left C0vington with q hearty
fare well and landed in Memphis to
spend the first night, sleeping on
the floor with no blankets, being
ordered by our captain to leave ev-
erything at home, being assured
that we would be supplied with.
clothing and everything needed in
d short time. This continued for
one week when we were taken to
Cherokee Park, near Nashville.
After. few days we were taken to
the Centennial grounds, where we.
ent camp. During this whole time.
we have not been supplied with
more than half fations and received
no cIothes-of any description until
about one week ago, when we got
lsome OF us) uniforms, shoes, under
clothes, leggins and hats. AS we
brought no clothes or money with
US, we have not been able to clothe
or feed ourselves. We enjoyed this
at first, but as things did not i'm
prove, many Of as feel that our SER
vices are not appreciated.
We wish TO say that there we're
several of the boys who failed to
pass the physical examination, and |
to them we send our good wishes |
and hope they will be considered |
by those at home as true and brave |
as any of us who we're physically /
able to stand the required test
Our former captain has been pro-
NOTED and now has the honor of /
commanding the third battalion.
Capt. ] E. Walker is at present our
captain.
Our duties in camp consist of
guard on the picket lines,
from five to six hours per
day, cleaning our quarters and
serving out extra duty.
Each delivery of the mail is await
ed anxiously, and many a heart is
made happy each day by letter
from parents or sWeethearts.
There was great rejoicing ID camp
yesterday when the boys of the
sixty fifth Pennsylvania brought US
about $50 loaves of bread These
boys found out that we were little
short on bread, and, being well sup
Piled themselves, did manly thing
and now there is not a man in the
second Tennessee who would not
fight for them.
E. B. Baptist, private secretary
Of Hon. +. w Carmack, has made
himself a favorite in Company by
keeping us in smoking tobacco and
stationery since we have been here.
We wish also to say In conclusion
hat none of us wish to leave the
cause, but are growing more anx-
Gus to go to the front.

Meeting Of the Executive Committee

Mec5ing OF the Executive committee
The Democratic county executive
committee held q session shortly af-
ter the convention adjourned Tues
day evening and organized by elect
ing j. c. Walker chairman, r. b.
Baptist secretary, and J. 7. Talley
assistant secretary.
We are informed that there were
some remarkable proceedings In the
committee. Mr.. j. T. Talley was
requested to allow his name to be
presented for secretary, but told the
party that be doubted the wisdom
of SUCH a proceeding and asked that
it norbe donesE1Ie was told that be
would be elected secretary. He
was according elected, so we are
told, unanimously and then il was
suggested that he was gold stand
ard man. He was then voted out OF
the office without further ceremony.
The principal place was then given
to Mr.. r. b. Baptist, and Mr.. Tai
ley elected assistant secretary.
Mr.. Talley and his friends think
this most remarkable proceedings

without the solicitation of himself
or friends and then bounce him
without rhyme or reason. Mr..
Talley would have made one of the
the most efficient and popular secre-

more apparent every day. The ALI
ance platform is right; the Wall Street
platform is wrong"
1t is the truth that there is need Of
a radical change in our financial system.
The only way to secure that change is
to vote against all gold-bugs for Con-
gross and quit trying to help elect them.
In North carolina the Democrats have
nominated only free silver and anti
monopoly men, for Congress. If they
are elected, they will every one vote
against the gold standard and against
monopoly.
If the Fusionists win, the Republicans
will have seven of the nine Congressman,
four straight Republicans and three
so-called Populists who are known to
be nothing but Republicans.

between them, and in many ways their
interests are identical. When the Popu-

in both parties joined it in the hope of
getting reform.

in Randolph recently, the Populist mem

SUES FOR FALSE ARREST
Kansas City Man Wants $4,000
From Santa Fe and Missouri
Pacific.

Kansas City, Dec. 24.-Harry z. Mil
ton, one of the men arrested on sus-
piciOn of being implicated in the Leeds
train robbery last October, but who
was released from custody after being
held four days, has filed suit for $4,000
damages in the circuit court against
the Missouri Pacific and AtchisOn, To-
peka & Santa F'e Railway companies.
Milton claims in his petition that he
was arrested just after the robbery and
taken to No. 2 police station. He says
he was in his shirt sleeves at the time
of his arrest and was not allowed to get
a coat. After being held four days he
was released, as there was no evidence
to connect him with the train holdup.
Detectives of the two roads sued made
the arrest. Milton is in the employ of
the Maple Leaf.
