A REGULAR ARMY POST FOR
THE SOUTH.

"A regular army post is what we
need here at New Orleans,o said
General Passenger Agent Geo. Fl.
Smith, as be struck a match.
"When this war with Spain closes
YOU will see that the army condi-
tions in the United States are
greatly changed. They are bound
to be. This country will certainly
maintain a standing army of no
less than 100000 men, and perhaps
more. The present condition OF
affairs has fully demonstrated that
this country was not prepared for
war, but 1t will be different III the
future. This means that abig army
post will be established somewhere
in this seciiea of the South, and
why not New Orleans? But we
will haYe to work for it, as we have
had to do for everything else we
have secured. Things don't come
to the Micawbers in these days.
We must hustle, and if the citizens
of New Orleans exert the proper
energy in the case confidently
believe a fine army post, with Its
band and social functions, will be
established here. This city is sur
rounded with fit locations. Take
the ozone belt. The experts who
have examined the site of Hoods
camp say it is the ideal spot for
locating an army. What we want
is to be prepared to bring this
division of the regular army here
there will be no trouble in finding
a suitable place for Them"

The Greenwood Common wealth
truly says: "The cry OF war in the
South saddened many a heart, and
when one questions the cause oi
why our men are not enlisted they
will at once see by examination,
that it is not the lack of patriotism.

Shall he leave? Thousands oi
such men are all over the South
who are willing to enlist but owing
to these Surroundings must first
make preparations and protection

such men beat only true patriotism
for when a man loves and pro.

FIGHT IN A BARROoM.
Criticism of Fitzsimmons Ends Seri-
 ously for the Guilty Offender.

Sheboygan, Wis, Jan. 7.-As the re- suit of barroom fight in which Bob Fitzsimmons, champion heavyweight pugilist of the world; Martin Hughs, a we'll known attorney; Charles Sea man, son of Judge William H. Sea- man of the United States federal court, and Edward B. McDaniels, a, comedian in Fitzsimmons' theatrical company, were implicated, Attorney Hughs tonight lies in a precarious con- dition, and there are some doubts as to his recovery.
 The trouble grew out of a criticism passed on Fitzsimmons' show by Hughs, which was resented by Mo Daniels, who, it is alleged, struck the attorney over the eye, rupturing a vein, from which blood flowed freely.
 Two Milwaukee doctors were sum- moned to attend Hughs' injuries.
