Georsia's Quota

In the can for 10000 volunteers Geor-
gas quota is 1920 1t is stated, however.
that the plan of calling upon each state
for its quota will not be followed, but
that volunteers, up to the required mum.
Der, win be accepted from any and all
parts of the country.
However, it is probable that each state
will feel a certain amount of pride in fill
ing its quota, and, hence, we may expect
that efforts Will be made here in Georgia
TO raise the states full quota If that
should be the case it is to be hoped that
an effort will not be made to raise a regi
ment of cavalry. Nearly all the members
of the cavalry regiment of the state mi
litia are residents of this section. the
homes OF many of them being in sparsely
settled counties.
This section has already furnished more
than its share of those who have already
volunteered in the infantry and artillery.
In the first call for volunteers Savannah
and the adjoining counties responded with
about 800 men. The northern part of the
etate, therefore, should be looked to main
ly to fill the states quota in the last call.
But if a cavalry regiment is called for
the lower counties of the state viii have
to furnish the greater part of the men
for it because, as already stated, The most
ot the cavalrymen of the state militia are
residents of those counties.
South Georgia cannot spare so many of
the members Of its militia companies.
Emergencies may arise demanding the
presence of militia force in this section.
In that event the situation might become
serious if all tie lower counties should be
drained of the members of their militia or
ganizations As already stated, these
lower counties have responded literally
and nobly in filing the states quota OF
10000 volunteers. To call on them for
the greater part of a cavalry regiment
would be requiring too much of them.

Good Annnintment.

We are sure that there will be no dis
sendng voice when We say that the APP
pointment of Col W. W. Gordon to the
position of brigadier general of volunteers
is an eminently fl one. In selecting Col.
Gordon for so conspicuous and responsible
place the President has made no mis-
take. He makes it clear that his aim is TO
have only competent men in places where
ability, experience and soldierly qualities
are demanded. That Col Gordon has all
Of these no one who knows him doubts.
In the civil war Col Gordon was noted
for characteristics which indicate the true
soldier, and through all the years since
that war he has been enthusiastically de-
voted to military matters. The cavalry reg
iment Of which he is now in command is a
superb organization. 1t is doubtful If it has
a superior, if an equal, in the country out
side of the regular army. Its high stand
ard of excellence is due to the knowledge,
experience and untiring efforts of it's col
onel.
Some Of the Presidents appointments
those of sons of millionaires and senators
have been quite seriously criticised; be-
cause il was evident that they were not
made on account of fitness. Sull it is
worthy of notice that these appointees
were not named for places in which their
inexpcrience and inefficiency would great
ly interfere with the work of raising the
army to a high standard of excellence or
of the army's success in battle.
Col. Gordons appointment, however,
will not be criticised. 1t will be commend
ed in the North as well as in the South,
because his qualifications as soldier are
well known to military men in all parts
of the country
Savannah is known as a military city.
The reputation of her military organiza-
tons is not confined to the limits of Geor-
gia. Her military marksmen have cap
tured the prizes from the best sharpshoot-
ers in the land In this war thus far she
has furnished more volunteers than any
other city of her class in the country, and
it is not too much 10 predict that the off
GERS and private soldiers which she sends
to the war will make records of which
she and the whole country Will be proud.

A Washington War Scene.

A young man with a red eye and berry
complexion, who has been in Washington
off and on since March 4, 1897, seeking an
ONCE showed his way through the crowd
standing at the counter of the Arlington
Hotel awaiting an opportunity to register.
and shouted in a gruff voice to the clerk
who was rooming the new arrivals:
Gimme The key to my room Come
quick dammit, don't keep me standing
here all night
The clerk took no notice of him until he
repeated the demand in an even more
boisterous manner and considerable pro-
1anity, says the Washington correspond
ent of the Chicago Record
What name?' inquired the clerk. polite
ly, ana the berry young man mentioned
one that has appeared frequently upon the
pages of American history during the last
thirty years. AS his key was handed to
him he lunged against the bystanders in
a rude and offensive manner and disap-
peared toward the elevator. One Of the
guests asked the clerk if that was the
son of Gen. So-and-So
Yes; he has been around here for a
year or more, living on borrowed money,
trying to get an office, and the President
has just appointed him to staff position
in the volunteers. lie has been fun ever
since, and his friends are trying to sober
him up so that he can go over and thank
the President for the appointment"
While this conversation was going on a
tall, slender young man, with a pale face,
shadowy mustache and deferential man
ner, stepped modestly toward the counter,
and, catching the eye of the clerk, whis-
pered in an undertone over the shoulders
of those who stood in front of him: Kind
ly hand me the key to TO-
who is that?" asked the new arrival,

Four days ago it was reported that Col.
Cook, the commandant at Fort McPher-
son, Atlanta. had forbidden the sale of
pies to the troops upon his preserves, on
the ground that pies cause dyspepsia. For
three days we have watched the public
prints for a denial of the report by or on
behalf of Col Cook. None has been forth
coming, therefore it must be reluctantly
believed that Col Cook has pronounced
against pies. Possibly the gallant colonel.
because of his preoccupation with military
duties, is not aware of the fact that the
pie is the great national delicacy; that il
is distinctly and distinctively an American
dish, and that to deprive ain American of
his pie is to deprive him of his blrthright.
1t may be a fruitful source of dyspepsia.
the doctors say that 1t is; nevertheless the
Yankee and his pie are inseparable. ana
the military commandant who enforces a
periodical abstinence from pies is apt to
win for himself the reputation of being
soulless martinez

Complaints of poor food are coming
from the volunteer camps-not from the
volunteers, but from visltors-in too great
volume to be longer disregarded. Some
thing should be done at once to improve
the quality of the meat served to the SOL
ders. There cannot be a shadow of a
doubt that the government is paving
enough money for supplies to warrant
serving good wholesome and toothsome
meat to the men, and if that kind is not
being served, somebody is to blame for it.
There must be no jobs, and peculauon
and fraudulent contracts in this war. The
men must be treated decently and fed de-
Gently. The people and the press will not
tolerate anything else.

Nearly all the Southern members. who

There IS a movement which is gaining
adheEnce in Washington, looking to the
end of enforcing a boycott by this gov
eminent against the French exposition in
1900. Would our remaining out of the ex-
position hurt France more than il would
u.s. Are we thinking about going into the
exposition for frances benefit or for our
own? If it is for Frances benefit then
there ought to be no appropriation for an
exhibit under any circumstances; if it is
for our own benefit, then our war with
Spain should not in any manner influence
our action.

From the Elmira Facts.
Have faith in the boy, not believing
That he is the worst of his kind,
In league with the army of Satan,
And only to evil inclined;
But daily to guide and control him
Your wisdom and patience employ,
And daily, despite disappointment
And sorrow, have faith in the boy.
Have faith to believe that some moment
In life's strangely checkered career.
Convicted, subdued. and repentant,
The prodigal son will appear;
The gold in his nature rejecting
The dark and debasing alloy,
Illumlns your spirit with gladness
Because you have faith in the boy.
Though now he is Maynard and stubborn
And keeps himself sadly aloof
From those who are anxious and fearful
And ready with words of reproof;
Have faith that the prayers of a mother
His wandering feet will arrest,
And turn him away from his folies
To weep out his tears on her breast.
The brook that goes dashing and dancing
We may not divert from its course,
Until the wild, turbulant spirit
Has somewhat expended its force;
The brook is the life of the river,
And if we the future might scan,
We'd find that a boisterous boyhood
Gave vigor and life to the man.
All! many a boy has been driven
Away from the home by the Thought
That no ore believed in his goodness.
Or dreamed of the battle he fought;
So if you would help him to conquer
The foes that are prone to annoy,
Encourage him often with kindness,
An show you have faith in the boy,
Have faith in his good resolutions.
Believe that at last he'll prevail;
Though now he's forgetful and needless
Though day after day he may fall.
Your doubts and suspicious misgivings
His hope and his courage destroy;
So, if you'd secure a brave manhood.
