THE ENcAMpMENr PROGRAM.

Much trouble and confusion have re-
suited from unauthorized statements sent
out from Washington by imaginative re-
porters as to the National Encampment
program. There has been nothing def
mite formulated as yet, and will not be
until the Commander-in-C Chief comes, on
Aug. >, and consults with the Local Com
mittee.
There is every probability, however,
that the Encampment will take the reg
ular course. There will be, likely, a pa
rade of the Regular Army and Navy,
with the District National Guard. High
School Cadets, and other organizations,
on the afternoon of Monday, Oct. g, to
open the Reunions at Camp Roosevelt.
Also, that the Grand Parade will be on
Wednesday, with public reception and
formal opening Of the Encampment in
the evening, and the business sessions on
Thursday and Friday.

their things, and walked across the devas-
tated strip, the guards now offering no
opposition. And our horses have gone

Come on" said Si; well pick up

Not much we won't" answered the
obstinate Shorty. The bummers have
cleaned out everything there that can
carry bag OF meal. No, sir; we came
into Columby on our own boat, and we're
going out like gentlemen, not common
tramps. l see something over there that
strikes my fancy"
The something" was an immense old
fashioned family coach, hung on leathern
springs, and drawn by four fairly good
horses. 1t was evidently the property of
some patriarchcal planter who had used

miles away-where he talked politics and
played poker, while they firted and
dressed and gossipped in the Saratoga Of

Some foragers had found it, loaded it
with the good things of the plantations
stores and made the stablemen hitch up
four horses to it. The captors had driven
it in, but had left it for n little while to
run over to the scene of the disaster, and
Shorty saw his opportunity. They made
u rush for the coach, and piled into it
with their things. Otterbein Kramer
showed a disposition to hesitate and de-
bate the morality of the transaction, but
Shorty pushed him along, and made him
throw his traps into the big boot of the
| coach. There We're four long seats in the
vehicle, which would hold most Of them.

They Were none too soon, for Shorty

Shorty cracked his whip, and yelled at
the horses, and as the coach rolled away

bummers, who were saying all manner of
unkind things about the men who had
stolen their property.

MORE SOUTH CAROLINA TEETH GRITT1NG.

Col Jim Tillman, Lieutenant Governor
of South Carolina, cousin of the Senator,
and who came into National prominence Il
few months ago by an insulting message
he sent to the President of the United
States, seems to have a streak of yellow
yard wide behind all the bluff he puts
up. He is now running for Governor of
South Carolina, and at a public meeting
at Gaffney, s. c., he referred to an ed
itorial published in the local paper de-
nouncing him as "a liar, gambler and 4
drunkard." In the olden days any one of
these epithets was supposed to be enough
to make any ''South Carolina gentleman"
simply riot in gore, and an editor apply
ing it would be at once rejected by any
life or accident insurance company. But
Lieut.-Gov. TiIlman merely contented
himself by saying unpleasant things about
the editor. The telegraph says:
"De Camp walked up, faced him, and
said he was the author There was great
confusion, cheers and counter-cheers. The
ladies fled precipitately."
The ladies seem to have been scared
without reason, for Tillman blandly re-
Piled:
"Then you are the author of something
for which you should be very much
ashamed"
Now, while this was Biblically correct,
being the soft answer which turneth away
wrath, it was decidedly un-SOuth Caro-
linian, and still more Tillmanlike. The
editor seemed to be out hunting trouble,
for he boldly replied:
Jim Tillman, / can prove you are a
liar over your own signature"
We used to hear so much about the
"craven-spirited Yankees" who when they
were called liars demanded proof of the
assertion, while the hOt-spirited Southern
ers proceeded instantly to wipe out the
insult in blood. Therefore, we were not
at all prepared TO have the Lieutenant
| Governor of South Carolina meekly de-
mand the proof, which the editor pro-
ceeded to furnish from his letter-book,
when, the telegraph says,
''Tillman did not answer, and amid con-
| fusion the meeting adjourned"
There are some things which pass the
understanding, and one Of these is how
fellows of the Tillman stripe got the up
per hand of the old fire-eating Wade
Hampton n-Butler-Rhett Pickens coterie;
and the other is how the people of South
Carolina submit to be ruled and repre-
sented by such breed of swashbucklers.

THE attitude of Mrs Ella Hall. of
Adel, Ga, may be a subject of discussion
among the ladies generally. Her father
was Marshal of Adel, and made himself
obnoxious to the criminal classes by the
vigor with which he hunted down and
suppressed negro gambling dens, speak
easies, etc. This led one of the keepers
Of these places-Boisy Bryant, Il negro
to murder him. There was no doubt of
the nesro's guilt, and he was convicted
and condemned to hang this month. Mrs.
Hall has written to the Sheriff requesting
the privilege of springiiig the trap of the
galows. The Sheriff has replied that he
had desired that pleasure himself, but
will waive it in favor of one who has a
better right The Shcriff's position, at
least, is indefensibie. No matter how bad
man Boisy Bryant has been, the office
of executing him is one imposed upon the
Sheriff by law, and which he is supposed
to discharge, as he does other duties, with
passioncss exactness. 1t is as indecent
for him to have pleasure" in it as it
would be contemplate for him to shrink
from it. He has the right to delegate
someone else to do any part of it, but
they must be all officers of the law. He
cannot delegate any OF his powers to 9th
and certainly he is open to grave censure,
if not impeachment or worse, if he makes
a legal function become an instrument of
private vengeance. AS for Mrs. Hall, we
shall leave her to the ladies.

dreds of mules were busily active, Death
reigned supreme.
But as 81 looked he saw the guards
rise and take their places. as soldierly as
ever. Down by the river officers and
Sergeants, with broken arms and bleeding
heads, struggled to their feet and sternly
ordered their men to attention and their
places.
81 first led his squad to lift a mule in
the paroxysms OF death off a teamster
whose leg had been broken. The poor
brute was kicking violently, but Sis,
Shorty's, Toms and Abe's strong arms
removed him, and carried the teamster

Otterbeir Kramer, Pete and Sandy, did
all that was possible to relieve his pain.
81 and the rest gathered up other MANNED
and bleeding ones, and carried them back
TO the rock, where they laid them on their
own blankets. They became as bloody at
this as if they had been terribly wounded
themselves.
In the rush that was now being made
from all directions toward the scene of
disaster were many mounted officers of
high rank. Among them was the Divi-
sion Surgeon, followed by his staff and
attaches. Ambulances were sent for, and

ApARApE FOR MONDAY.

1t is proposed to have a parade on
Monday, Oct. @, Of the Regular Army
and Navy stationed in Washington, the
District National Guard, the High School
Cadets, and some other organizations.
This will give the visiting veterans a
much-coveted opportunity to see the Reg
ular forces of the United States. The
Secretary of the Navy has promised to
order six vessels to Washington to add TO
the attractiveness of the Encampment,
and these will land parties to take part in
the parade.
The object Of the demonstration will be
to formally open Camp Roosevelt for Re.
unions. 1t will be fine display of the
active forces of the United States, and
fittingly prelude the grand display of the
retired forces, which will probably take
place on Wednesday.

SCIENCE has her heroes as brave and
self-sacrifcing as those upon the battle
field. DIR. Garnault, French physician,
inoculated himself with tuberculosis from
an infected COW last June, in order to
! disprove Prof. Koch's assertion that hui
man beings cannot catch consumption
from cattle. He has developed genuine
| tuberculosis in himself, and therefore
demonstrated that consumption is conta-
gious from cattle. The advantage of this
TO science is incalculable, but think of the
condition in which the selfsacrificing doc
tor is left. He has genuine consumption,
and while it is now believed by physi-
| clans that consumption is durable, there
is the strongest chance that he may die.

THE COMING NATIONAL ENcAMpMENr.

| IL the coming National Encampment
be not the greatest in the history of the
Order. then all signs are untrustworthy
| There may not be so many veterans pres
ent as at some former Encampments, but
the number will be nearly as great as the
greatest, and the interest will be more
intense.
Everyone feels that this will be the last
National Encampment held in the Ma
tional Capital-that city which. from first
10 last in the great struggle, was the OBJ
! ject of their intensest solicitude. and for
the immediate safety of which more than
100000 men fought for four long. bit
| ter years. 1t is the city from which they
as raw recruits marched forth to battle,
the city to which they were sent back
when wounded or disabled, the city to
| which, as. seasoned veterans, they re-
turned in triumph when their great work
| was done. 1t is ringcd by a hundred dcs-
perate battletields on which they fought.
Within days journey quarter of a
million of their comrades sleep i'll Ma
tional Cemeteries.
All of the survivors of the mighty
Union hosts want to gather once more
in Washington. They want to bring their
families, and revisit the scenes of mo-
mentous events of which they were part
and parcel. 1t is pilgrimage like unto
none other in history. The men who in
their youth saved the Nation from eX-
tinction want to come back in their old
age to the fields made glorious by their
successful valor, and revisit the Capital
whose magnifcence is the Towering of
the Nation to which they gave a new
birth of Freedom and Prosperity.
That, before they die, they should have
this opportunity is a very great privilege.
No men who ever fought for a great
cause have been blessed in their lifetime
by so wonderful n justification of all that
they did and dared. Only posterity has
seen the fullness of the work others have
done for Humanity, but the men who
crushed the rebellion have lived to see
the Nation reach point of greatness sur
passing anything in their most sanguine
youthful dreams.
The beautiful City of Washington is
the representative and embodiment. of
that Nations greatness. Here, in the
afternoon of their lives, is the httest place
for the veterans to gather and rejoice to-
gether over the rich results of their work
in the morning.
1t is that such multitude will feel
impelled to do this, and that they will be
thrilled by their country's world-leader-
ship as in no previous Encampment, that
will make the 36th National Encampment
the greatest in the history of the Order.
