coNFEDERATE VETERANS.

Judge Sweat Advises Them 40 Organ
i've Home Guards i'm Every County.
Waycross, Ga, April 19.-On being asked
by the Morning News correspondent as TO
the attitude of Confederate veterans in
case of war between the United States and
Spain. Judge ]. L. Sweat of the Brunswick
circuit. who is a veteran and commander
of South Georgia Camp No. S19, United
Confederate Veterans, said: War is de-
plorable, and yet there should be an end
of Spanish rule in Cuba; and the destruc>
ton of the Maine and death of our sea-
men call for redress against Spain by our
government The navy and our regular
army, with additions of the militia OF the
several states. will az first have the brunt
of battle to bear, and then, if necessary,
able-bodied volunteers, between the ages
of Is and 45, will be called for. OF course,
others who feel inclined may volunteer,
and their services would doubtless be ac-
cepted. My own idea is that Confederate
veterans of this section al least should
only volunteer in case of an attack upon
our sea coast or attempted invasion of
this country and then every man of us
should rally to the defense of our coun-
try. Until then, during my encumbencY
of the bench, 1 expect to continue in the
administration of public justice, uphold
ing the civil authority and maintaining
law and order in our midst, and shall ex-
pect the hearty support and cooperation
of every good citizen. And / would like
to see the Confederate veterans in every
county perfect their organizations. and in
case of war, form each camp into a conf
pany of home guards, equip ! and ready
not only to aid the civil authorities in
maintaining law and order at home, but
ready if needs be to go to the front to
repel invasion by the common enemy
where / will be found standing with them
shoulder to shoulder

Interest of His Candidacy.

Thomasville, Ca, April 19.-Superior
Court convened here to-day. Judge Fansell
presiding 1t will continue through the
week and possibly longer.
Judge Spencer r. Atkinson, candidate
for Governor. addressed the people in the
court house from 1 to 3 o'clock yesterday.
Judge Atkinson discussed the tax ques-
ton at large, claiming that the way 10
decrease the tax rate was to search out
and levy taxes on the vast sum of per-
eonal property which now escapes taxa
ton. He estimates such property as equal
in value to the present assessed valuation
of all visible property. Judge Atkinson
makes no effort to play upon the passions
of his auditors, but. discusses every, topic
in a lucid and judicial manner
