no such thing in the United States it

such an enterprise would be extremely

"REMINISCENCES OF THE
 LATE GEN. TIGE ANDERSON

The following letter regarding the late General Anderson of Anniston is repro duced from the New York Evening Post: To the Editor of the Evening Post
 Sir-Gen. George T. Anderson cold Tige'o, a distinguished officer of the Confederate army, died at Anniston, Ala, on the 4th of this month full of years and honors. The sobriquet "Old Tige' was given him by a private in the brigade which he commanded during the civil war, and 1t was thought so descriptive of the keenness in pursuit and fierceness in battle which characterized the general that it was universally adopted and be- came with the men of the brigade name of affection for their commander.
 General Anderson's was a picturesque personality and his life one of great ac- tivity and interest He was two or three inches over six feet in height. finely pro- portioned, athletic and untiring Of im- posing presence at all times, when mount ed on his great war horse he was a mag nificent specimen of the soldier.
 When scarcely of age he organized a cavalry company in Georgia, and as cap tain led it in the Mexican war. There he distinguished himself both at Buena Vista and Chepultepec, and later crowned his reputation as dashing young officer by capturing two important Mexican gene rals, Iturbide, descendant of the Mon tczumas. and General La Vega. At the close of the war. in recognition of his dis tinguished services, he was given a cap- tains commission in the regular army of the United States, and for years was em- ployed in the Indian wars in the West.

Shortly after the out break of the civil war he was placed in command of the brigade known ever af- forwards as "Anderson's Brigade" con sisting of the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Eleventh and Fifty-ninth Georgia yolun- teer Regiments, and for a time the First Georgia Regulars.

 General Anderson was with his com mand during the whole period of the war, except when invalided by wound re- ceived at Gettysburg, and was in more than thirty engagements. His dash and courage in action were admirable, and his coolness under fire beyond that of any, man ever saw. I was with his brigade from it's organization, and on his staff as A. A. and I.

 Today, alas! the President has ceased to be an agriculturist. His farm has been wiped out by the construction of the Treasury and War Department buildings and by the laying out of Executive ave- nue. He keeps no herd of cows, and there is no longer a dairy to be supplied with their milk. The mansion has been cooped up with tall spike fence of iron, cutting on most of the land that used to belong to it, and has thus been converted into a city house. with a good-sized garden and lawns around it.

Venezuelan controversy and how the fear of war demoralized business; but not so today.
 Within tho past three year we have witnessed troubles in South Africa, and have participated in war with China without business conditions being dis turbed in the slightest. No one can deny that had these troubles occurred prior 10 the war with Spain 1t would have pre-. cipitated a financial panic, the evil eff fects of which would not have been for gotten in years.
 To my mind the business men of today are so thoroughly inbued with an aggres- sive spirit that nothing within reason can check present prosperous conditions. Not a day passes that some foreign country does not knock at our doors with securi- ties in exchange for American money. The Saturday Evening Post in a recent is sue, commenting upon business condi- tions, says that fin South America, Eu- rope, Asia, Africa and Australa--every7 where-are our business representatives and everywhere are our manufactured products"
 The United States today Is known and respected throughout the world. It's great ness and strength are appreciated and recognized at home to an extent that only a war could develop.
 Capital now does not hesitate to join with brains and muscle to convert our wonderful resources into commercial products. A spirit of prudence still exists but the feeling of cowardice and timidity has passed for ever. It Is needless to say that under this new order the south Is enjoying an unprecedented era of pros perity. with every prospect of a long con- tinuance of the happiest material con- ditions.

Ncg that Asuirsido has been captured and the rebellion in the Philippine Islands is practically st an end. it is but natural to inquire tire results Of the war and whether 1t has been one of benefit or harm to the United States. To my mind 1t has taught many lessons of value. The first and by far the most important one Is that 1t has given the generation of today confidence in the physical and financial strength of this ovcrnment--fac.ors most essential to business success.
 For mora than two years prior to the war with Spain business conditions had been unsettled In this country by reason Of the rebellion In Cuba, and the convic- ton that sooner or later the United States would be forced to take part in order to protect it's rights. When the long expected crisis arrived the United States with little time for preparation in- creased its army fourfold added mater ially to it's navy, aud thus hurried into commission its full-fightng force to avenge the wrongs against the nation s honor and dignity.
 Ia less than a month after formal declaration of war, and before gun had been fired. business conditions gave sub stantial evidence of improvement. In- deed, ali business men seemed to share the courage Of our soldiers and sailors and were quick to recognize the fact that this country was sufficiently strong financially and physically. to meet any emergency that might arise.
 While this development of confidence has been purchased at the sacrifice of life and property, it was victory that every man. partisan though he be. must ap- plaud. We all recall the fearful shock that this country received during the 4
