BARBARA .FRIETcHIE.
The True story of Whitticr's Famous
War Time Heroine Now
Brought Out.
"who touches hair of yon gray head
Dlea like q dog. March on" he said.

"who touches q hair of yon gray head
Dies like a dog March on" he said.
This famous couplet has immortal
lied that heroine of the civil war, poor
old Barbara Frietchie, and now the sue
cess of Clyde Fitchs play, Barbara
Frietchie," has revived an old contro-
versy as to the amount of fact which
is woven into the poetry of Whittier's
famous ballad. So far no one seems to
remember that Whittier himself, in a
letter to the Century, written shortly
before his death, acknowledged that
the incidents as he gave them were not
historical. He had received in good
faith story sent him in good
faith by Mrs. L. ID. f. p. South
worth, the novelist. She had clipped
it out of newspaper. The incidents,
as he narrated them, followed as close
ly as possible the account given in the
newspaper slip. Many years afterward
he learned that the report was erron-
eous. He does not seem, however, to
have ever learned that it was erroneous
only in confusing two events. Barbara
Frietchie did exist, and was associated
with the waving of a union flag in con-
graduation of union, not in defiance
of confederate, army. 1t was also

GOV. GAMBLERS EXPLANATION.
HE TELLS WHY HE DID NOT REC
oMMEND 4 SAVANNAH MAN.

Says No savannah Men Had Put in
AppIicatIons-Lieut. Rockwell APP
piled, But 1t Was After Two Men
Had Been Selected From the Third
RcEiment-First Regiment Man
Was Named in His Stead-HOck-
well Recommended Later.
Atlanta. Aug. 23.-Gov. Gambler was
shown the editorial in yesterdays Morn
ing News to-day. relative 20 Savanna
military men being overlooked in his roc
ommenda lions to the war department, aud
Immediately explained in detail why such
recommendations were not made.
The Governor says that a week ago last
Sunday Secretary Root wired him 10 rec
ommend two men from each of the Geor-
ga regiments for commissions in tne new
regiments to be formed, and he was re
quested TO make these recommendations
as early as possible. Up 10 this time, he
says, there were no applications ON file
from Savannah.
on Monday he wired the recomm"nda-
tons from the Third Regiment, and later
those from the Second. those from the
First being the last to be sent, because
there were fewer applications from that
than from either of the other two.
The Governor states that when he had
determined upon the name of Lieut.. Nc
Cam Of Thomasville of the First that
Lieut. Rockwell of Savannah came in and
filed his application. He explained to
Lieut. Rockwell, who belonged to the
Third, that he had already filed recon-
IL -s.a~tv., hr4f fFsaf
AS ne had only one from the First he
would supply the deficiency with his name,
really making three recommendations
from the Third and only one from. the
First.
The Governor said he had prepared dis
patch to the war department in accord
ance with this understanding but that
Immediately afterwards, in fact, in a few
minutes Speaker Little came in and filed
the application of Lieut.. Robertson of Co.
lumbus of the First Regiment, and of
course, with an applicant from the First
asking for the place, he felt it to be
his duty to give him the recommendation.
Gov. Gambler said Lieut. Rockwell came
most highly Endorsed by Col. Lawton, and
that 1t would have given him great pleas
ure to include him in the list, and he
would have done so had Lieut.. Rockwell
filed his application in time. Furthermore,
the Governor says he has written the
Secretary Of War a strong letter indorsng
the fitness of Lieut.. Rockwell, which
practically means that the Governor has
given seven instead of the six recom~
mendations asked for.
Gov. Gambler says that Congressman
Fleming of Augusta is also disappointed
in that the Tenth district received no
consideration, but that the Tenth district
was in the same dilemma that Savannah
was, there being no applicants.

gressional districts in the state, and,
therefore, he was not able to take man
from each one.

scHLEY TO VISIT ATLANTA.
Says He VIII BE Glad to Come to
Georgia in the Fall.

Atlanta, Aug. 23.-Rear Admiral w. S
Schley will visit Atlanta during the state
fair if duties at Washington at that time
do not imperatively demand his presence
there. He so stated in letters 10 Mayor
Woodward and Secretary Martin of the
Business Mems League.
Two previous efforts have been made to
get Admiral Schley to visit Georgia, the
first being during the peace jubilee last
fall, and the second on the Fourth of July.
The admirars sickness prevented his COM
ing during the peace jubilee, and before
the invitation for the Fourth of July cele
bration could reach him he had accepted
another. The people were determined to
see him. however, and so an invitation to
visit Atlanta the latter part of October or
the first of November, while the state fair
is in progress, was extended by Gov.
Gambler, Mayor Woodward and Secretary
Martin. The admirals reply to the Mayors
letter is as follows
"Saugatuck, Conn. Aug. 81, 1s99.-My
Dear Sir: | am sincerely thankful for
your honor's invitation to visit Atlanta in
the fail. and | can assure you that moth
ing would give me greater delight. While
il is impossible 20 make any definite prom
Use to be fulfilled so far in the future, l
am willing to say that If 1 am still on
my present duty in Washington at that
time, ! shall be glad to accept your kind
invitation to meet and to greet my friends
in the South. In that event l shall be
glad 10 spend two or three days with my
Atlanta friends, and thanking you for this
kindly expressed wish to me, | am, very
sincerely yours, W. 5. Schley
TO His Honor J. G. Woodward, At
lauta, Ga
1t is the purpose of the fair management
and the most prominent citizens of the
city 10 make his reception here one dong
to be remembered. Other cities in Geor-
ga Will be officially invited to partici-
pate in the celebration The railroads
will grant extremely low rates, and it is
safe TO say Atlanta on that occasion will
contain a larger number of people than
on Cleveland's first visit here, when pub
lie buildings. churches and private resi-
dences were thrown open TO accommodate
the throngs. and yet many were COM
PEELED to walk the streets an night.
II is desired to have the admiral here
on military day, when all the Georgia
Governor and his staff and the legislature,
if the plans now being formulated by
the military committee of the fair do not
miscarry. The consolidation of Schley
and military day would certainly be an
event in Georgia history and would bring
people from several adjoining states. A
committee viii visit the admiral soon, and
the date of his visit will be determined.
