The talk Of snivelling Peckniff of
unfolding the administration hands in
these war times at the Congressional
elections is not only sickening in its
contemplate hypocrisy, but, as it has
already been truthfully described, an
insult to every Democrat in Congress
who has supported the administration ms
war measures without question, and
every Democrat who has periodically
volunteered his services 70 mis- country
ct the front
This war is not a party question, and
the effort to compass g2lf ii partisan
ends by false and misleoains appeals
TO the peoples thoroughly roused patri
otism is quite worthy of Pecksniff.
Such miserable and sneaking parti
sanship, however, can only excite the
deep disgust of decent and patriotic
Republicans and Democrats, to whom
alike it is grossly insulting, for there
are no such things as Republicans or
Democrats when it comes to question
of upholding the flag against foreign
foe In that case we all alike are
Americans.
The next Congress will deal with 9TH
er than war measures, and 1t is Of vital
Importance to the welfare of the coun-
try that a Congress be chosen whose
political complexion will guarantee
that the important questions arising
shall be settled in accordance with the
best interests Of the country. And this
being the case those interests will best
be served by a Congress whose major
ity shall be guided by the Democratic
principles of Jefferson and Jackson.

Wheat as g Regular Crop.

Wheat farming is not business to
be taken up one year and abandoned
the next. The crop has legitimate
place in the rotation Of mixed farming,
aud it should be grown every year with
out reference to the selling price or
even without regard to the probable
yield of the crop. This is true in al
most every portion Of the country, and
the Southern States are not an excep-
ton, for there are suitable lands to
grow wheat in every State, to greater
or less extent. Forty or nifty years ago
in large part of South Carolina wheat
was raised to meet the home consump-
ton entirely, and we do not read of the
importation of -four until after the rail-
roads were built. This year has been
exceptional for the wheat crop, both as
to yield and acreage, and we are glad
to learn that the farmers are consider
ing the policy Of making wheat regular
crop on their farms. This is a most
encouraging sign of the times, and be-
tokens the achievements Of diversified
farming as the rule and not the excep-
ton in this section of the State. It is
hardly necessary to argue with farmers
whose tables in the last few months
have been supplied with biscuits made
from home grown wheat as to the de-
STABILITY of the bread or the economy
in household expenses Imported -four
may be winter and doubtless there are
brands that are just as pure, but it is
an open secret that -four is often adul-
terated with different substances, and
some Of them, such as white clay. are
positively deleterious to health This
practice has become so common, accord
ing to the Birmingham Age Herald that
a barrel of absolutely pure -four is said
to be the exception, Notwithstanding
the legislation of Congress on this sub
ject The remedy is homegrown wheat
and home ground -four.

BAKER. ALIAS BATES.
Member Of 6 Wealthy New York Fam
ilY Who Drifted to Brunswick.

The Atlanta Constitution says news
reached Brunswick Thursday from
Huntsville, Ala, that the body of Viii
lam Baker, alias Bates, Il private Of
the First regiment: who died seven
days ago. had been exhumed at the re-
quest Of the father and that the dis
tracted old man had discovered in the
buried man the remains of his only
SON The story went on to tell how
Baker, alias Bates, had left home years
ago and come to the South His father
was Wall street capitalist and the
home that Baker, alias Bates. left was
one Of sumptuous luxury, situated on
fashionable Fifth avenue.
For long time the father searched
for his unfortunate son and finally
gave him up in despair. When the war
broke out he watched the enlistment
rolls, and one day in some manner had
an intimation that his son had Joined
the First Regiment. He started South
on receipt Of this information, but on
arriving at camp discovered that the
only man to fit his description had died
seven days before. The body was ex-
humed and found to be that of his long
long lost son. What was left of him
was carefully removed from its resting
place and the remains carried to New
York, where they will be given burial
suited to the wealth and tastes of the
family to which he belonged. All this
read like romance to the people of
Brunswick, and especially to the news
paper fraternity, of which Baker. alias
Bates, was one for months previous to
his enlistment. He was a man of mag
nifcent physique and splendid address.
When he came to Brunswick his
charming manner won him place in
the hearts of the boys at once and he
was given place on the Morning Call.
There he was seen nightly by the Con-
stltution correspondent and to the cor
respondent became known, as far as the
Brunswick end was concerned, the ro-
nance Of his life. 1t seems that Baker
alias Bates, was more attractive to wo-
men even than he was to men. One of
the fair sex became captivated with
him. Unfortunately for her, she was
married. Bates knew what the result
would be if he remained in the city, so
when Capt. Hopkins was getting up re-
cruits he decided to leave. He threw
away all his chances that might follow
from his talents given the right direc-
tion and enlisted as private in the
ranks Of Uncle Sans great army.
There was genuine regret around The
Call Office when Bates left, and of him
the Messrs. Leavys, his former employ
ers, said: ''He was one of the best
men The Call ever had and one of the
most perfect gentlemen in the world"
The sad ending of Bates life in the
camp at Huntsville brings sorrow to
those who knew him, but they are glad
that his loved ones have his body and
will give it burial beitting the man.

LEE REDISCOVERED.
4 Northern Paper scares Secretary of
War Alger.

Since Alger went to grow up with
the country the war department has
made a number of discoveries. One Of
these is that there is a person in the
service named Fizthugh Lee, who holds
the commission of major general and
is in command of corps of volunteers
in Florida, and that this corps is in ex-
cellent condition, well-organized, we'll
drilled, well-fed and generally in good
health and ready for the field. While
all this rumpus has been going on Gen.
eral Lee has been saying nothing, but
quietly attending to his business.
Jacksonville is not the most agreeable
summer resort Compared with Chicka-
mauga, for example: in might be sup
posed unhealthy. But Fitzhugh Lee
seems to have had the old West Point
prejudice in favor Of educated militia ry
men for staff position, and he got an
efficient staff assigned to him at the be-
ginning. As result we have heard so
little complaint from his corps that
most people had forgotten its existence
as completely as Alger had, though the
material he had to work with included
some Of the worst and the volunteer
officers had as much to learn there as
anywhere else. 1t will be remembered
that before Alger left he issued an or
der for the mastering out of one-half Of
the volunteers, selected upon no ascer-
tanned system. 1t is this order that
has brought the Seventh corps to Mid,
since it takes from tia number of regi-
ments just as they had been got into
good serviceable condition for the ex-
petition to Cuba on which they were
expecting to embark with the approach
of cool weather Alger is not much on
an organization, but for disorganizing
he is the greatest secretary Of war that
ever has been known, and Lee could not
expect to escape his devastating hand
entirely. 1t is not a part Of the Alger
plan that any man as competent as
Fitzhugh Lee should be given an op-
portunity for effective service that
would further ovcrwhelm the pets Of
chigan.-Philadclphia Times.
