CAMP ORDWAY, LEESBURG, Va,
July 19.-Washington's pride-the Dis
trict National Guard-has now been in
camp long enough to get settled and OBJ
tain a taste of what real army life
means While camp life is not as attrac-
tive upon close acquaintance as 1t was
generally supposed to be by large ma
jority of the boys, they have entered
into the spirit of the occasion with all
of their accustomed vim and determina-
tion to make the best of matters, and
have succeeded admirably in making
their annual outing at Camp ordway, or
as much of it as they have yet complet-
ed, one of the most memorable in the
history OF the organization.
While their stay at Leesburg comes
in the shape of a very enjoyable outing,
they nevertheless are obliged to carry
out in every detail military regulations
and a drill manual, which are every
bit as rigid and difficult as those pre-
scribed for Uncle Sans regulars. Sun
day in camp promises to be very busy
day, and not a period Of rest, as in
former years.
The boys are looking forward with
the liveliest interest to the official visit
of Secretary of War Root, who will ar
rive some time tomorrow. His time of
arrival at the camp is not yet def
nitely known, although it is thought
that he will reach here late in the af-
ternoon. The weather promises to be
most delightful for his visit.
Secretary Root will be accompanied by
a party. which will probably include
Gen. Leonard Wood and General Young.
They will be met at Whites Ferry,
about six miles from here, by Com
panies Z and F, of the Second Cavalry,
under the command of Capt. l.. NJ. Brett
General Harries and his staff will meet
them at the entrance to the camp, and
a salute VIII be fired in their honor.
The officials will witness the brigade
dress parade in the evening, after which
they will return to Washington.
The third day in camp proved more
agreeable than those which preceded
II, and the boys were put through a
little sitter course of drill. Early this
morning there was a good shower In
camp. which brought the officers and
men out to fasten their tent pegs more
securely in the ground and lower the
flaps to keep out the downpour. The
rain was brief, and merely served to
lay the dust and make things more
agreeable The morning was given over
TO battalion drill in extended order
and. during the afternoon, advance and
roar susrd and out nnst mapapvers were

in case any trouble; is occasioned /. to
refuse passes to town to all the men.
However, 1t is not believed such drastic
measure will be necessary, as the
Guardsmen are doing their best, and the
townspeople are finding out more than
ever. that they are fine set Of young
men.
Strict as to Instructions.
Major Charles H. Ourand. the in
spector general of the militia, who has
charge of all matters pertaining to
guard duty, has had occasion to call to
account officers whom 1t was. shown
were derelict in instructing their men.
Sentinel duty has been, somewhat ragged
are much better versed in their duties
than in previous years,
1t is directed that each soldier must
not only be instructed in the general
duties of a sentinel, but must be taught
to recite the general orders and special
orders. Officers Of the day and officers
and non commissioned officers OF the
guard will be held to- strict accounta-
bility. They are expected to, be ia
miliar with guard duty in all its phases,
and instruct the private soldiers as
we'll. .-.
Next Saturday Pay Day.
On Saturday next. before the boys
leave for home. they will be paid their
salaries for six months ending June 80
last. OF course. the Government en-
ployes will receive nothing. and the
sums received by the others will be
small, but altogether something over
$4,000 will be distributed among the
troops. They will have but little time
to spend their money at Leesburg, as
they will be paid off only a short time
before the march from camp is begun.
Capt. Andrew Parker the acting pay

rangement to pay the men off with dis

Notwithstanding the antagon'

Notwithstanding the antagon-
ism shown by Gov. Davis in his
speeches to the penitentiary
, management, the penitentiary
officials are working hard for
Davis. Why? Transportation
Agent Abrams, when here last
week, said Davis would carry
evory county and be elected in a
walk. When the fact was point
ed out to him that the governors 8
course in attacking James X.
.lones had turned the Democrats
in this section for Rector, Mr..
Abrams asserted that one speech
here by Davis would again give
him the solid support OF the
county. This does not look
probable, since it is the simple
reading of the true copy OF the
governors anti-Jones speech that
has turned the voters az ainst
him.--Hardy Herald.

A BIG DIFFERENCE.

An exchange says to be con-
sistent the man who condemns
Gov. Davis for threatning to
shoot the editor Of the Fort Smith
News-Record must also condemn
Col. E. W. Rector for drawing
his pistol on Prof Cook in that
Hot Springs difficulty. AS the
RECORD sees the matter there is
a vast difference Q between the two
episodes, in fact no comparison
can be drawn. In his circular 10
the people explaining the Hot
Springs affair Col. Rector makes
a plain, dignified statement Of
the matter. He declares he be-
lieved his children were being
prosecuted in the public schools
by Prof Cook. He also tells of
one occasion when on going home
he found his wife in tears and his
small daughter delirious, and in
delirium begging for protection
from the prosecutions inflicted
upon her at the public school.
Let the reader draw the picture
for himself. What would you
have done? Col. Rector sought
out Prof. Cook on one occasion
and after some words drew his
pistol. Cook told him he was
taking advantage of an unarmed
man, whereupon Rector told him
to 60 arm himself and they would
be on an equal footing. Friends
interfered in the matter and the
trouble was settled without any
serious consequences. Col. Rec
tor says that afterward he and
Cook met in a peacable manner,
if not friendly, and that upon the
advice of his physician, he re-
moved his children from the
school. Col. Rector no doubt
acted in the heat of passion. but
if his statements be true, where
is the man VINO will say he acted

without provocation?

Gov. Jeff Davis threatened to
shoot editor Kendrick because OF
an alleged libelous publication.
He asked that a special term of
the grand jury be convened to
indict editor Kendrick, where.
upon he was informed it could
not be done, and besides he was
informed hy the prosecuting at
torney that he had no cause for
action. He boldly and openly
threatened to take the law into
his own hands and try his shot
gun on an editor. We have yet
to hear of the lawyer or any one
else who thinks Kendrick laid
himself liable to the law in the
publication which angered the
governor. Then Davis threat
enc / to take a human life without
provocation. He threatened to
shoot man who was exercising
his rights as an editor. Then
there is another thing for consid-
Grafton: Col. Rector, private
citizen, participating in a difficult
ty in which pistol is connected,
is very different thing from
Jeff Davis, Governor of Arkan-
sas, threatening to take the law
into his own hands and shoot a
man. A private citizen may
threaten to take his gun and
shoot a man, but his action does
not disgrace the whole people.
When the chief executive of a
great state makes that threat,
he disgraces every citizen of Ills
state and causes a blush of shame
to rise to the brow of every law
abiding man. The Davis episode
was heralded from one end of the
country to the other, and no one
can estimate the damage it did to
the state. Jeff Davis expects to
profit by the Rector-Cook alter
cation. With all the facts known
who can class that difficulty with
the Davis-Kendrick episode?
