Hancock,s Presence of Mind.

A "Reminiscences of the battle of Get
tysburg illustrates the strict attention
to business of the professional soldier
under the most d~istracting CirCum-
stances.
When General Hancock vas wound
ed, he was carried to the rear. where
the surgeons cut away his clothing and
found and extracted the missile. The
general became much interested Oh
seeing it and insisted upon sending for
an aid-de-camp, in spite of the medical
admonitions against exciting himself.
When the aid appeared. the general
called out to him:
ECO straight to General Meade and
tell him the enemy Is running short of
ammunition. | have been wounded
with a tenpenny nail!'

Msa,m.al Meaanhone.

A curiosity of great antiquity is still
b be seen within st. Andrews church
at Willoughton, near Ca~insborough,
says an English magazine. This is a
quaint speaking trumpet with an OBJ
sour early history, dating back to the
times of the Knights Templars. In
shape 1t resembles Il French horn and
is more than five feet long, having n
bell at the end of the graduated tube.
1t was formerly six feet ia length, but
is now telescoped at the joints, where
the metal has apparently decayed.
Tradition declares it was formerly
sounded from the tower to summon
aid In case Of need, as, when blown
at a height, the weird, deep notes the
trumpet produced could be heard a
great distance away In bygone days.
1t Is believed that this curious instru-
ment has often been used TO call to-
gether the villagers. thus dispensing
with the usual bell, and to give addi-
tonal power and strength to the choir,
being then probably used by the chief
singer, as the trumpet intensiies vocal
sound to a marked degree.

Limited the Edition.

The late king OF Prussia once sent to
an aid-de-camp. Colonel Malachowsky,
who was brave, but poor, a small port
folio. bound like a book. in which were
deposited 500 crowns. Some time after
ward he met the officer and said to
him:
"Ah! Well. how did you like the new
work which | sent to yOu?"
Excessively, sire" replied the colo
mel. II read it with such interest that
I expect the second volume with impa-
tience."
The king smiled, and when the Off
GERS birthday arrived he presented him
with another portfolio, similar in every
respect to the first, but with these
words engraved upon II:
This book is complete in two vol
nmes."

By equipping the factory in this re-

son now why any piano should become
a useless piece of furniture in a home

YOu Save That VIII Make You
Successful.

1t Is Not What You Make, But What
YOu Save That VIII Make You
Successful.
The best, safest and surest way to
save is to have the right kind of
life insurance policy. Primarily, it is
protection, it creates an estate of so
many thousands, just as soon as you
have paid the first premium and re-
ceived your policy. Then. again, it is
nothing more than the saving of mon
ey, and it is in a measure a compul-
sorry saving, for you will know that
you must meet the premiums Savings
other than this kind are frequently
deferred for more convenient reason.
and the procrastination often ends in
failure, besides, it is so easy to draw
out money deposited in savings insti-
tutions on the slightest provocation. If
your policy is in the Massachusetts,
Mutual, it has a definite cash and loan
value as soon as it is three years old.
For young men there is no surer, bet
ter way, to encourage the habit of
saving. 1t would take years to build
up an estate like this, even if it is ac-
complished the result would be no bet
ter, if as. good The Massachusetts,
Mutual was organized in 1851; is
strong and reliable. Pays handsome
dividends to policy-holders, and is, in
its broadest meaning, a policy-holders'
company. That company for which its
old policy holders have a kind word is
a recommendation in itself. There are
many old Massachusetts Mutual pol
icy-holders in this community and
every one of them are we'll pleased and
satisfied. We will be glad to give you
all necessary information If you will
write, sending US your age and ad-
dress. Harty & Apple, managers for

QUESTION OF A CAMP
OFFICERS AND MEN ANXIOUSLY
AWAIT GOVERNORS ORDERS.
BOTHERS LOCAL MILITARY.
MANY OFFICERS FAVOR AUGUSTA
AS A CAMPING PLACE.

Matter Has Been Discussed at Meet
ing of the First Regiment Field
and staff-Maj. Usher ThomassOn
Writes That He Has Selected "a
Suitable Place Near Augusta.
Would Be More Economical Than
Griffin Encampment-Ten ThOus-
and Troops Were Camped There
During Late War.
Close on the heels of the discussion
of the Dick bill. and the absorbing
topic of the National Guard inspection,
comes the discussion and surmise as
to the place of encampment for the Sa-
vannah military. 1t has been deter
mined, in the interests of economy, to
order the troops to points near head
quarters, so as to save mileage on the
railroads.
The Savannah officers. as a rule,
favor going into camp at or near Au-
gusta. The matter has been discussed
among the officers of the First Inran-
try. and their idea was that Augusta
would serve the purpose excellentIy,
and would be an admirable place for
the encampment of the First and Third,
and probably other regiments.
Prerequisites of Camp.
Maj. w. E. Coney, in discussing the
subject, said: First and foremost,
after it is settled that adequate camp
ing grounds can be secured, with the
propert facilities and accommodations
would be the question of neighboring
grounds of a character and extent that
would admit of maneuvers upon a
much more comprehensive scale than
has heretofore been attempted at a
state encampment. Such an advantage
will surely be weighed in making up
the decision"
Col. Usher Thomasson, Maj. Coney
said, wrote some time ago that he had
selected a site in North Augusta that
he thought would meet all requirements
as to evolutions. Either that site or
Camp Mckenzie, he said, would be sat
isfactory to Savannah officers and men,
provided the latter site was contiguous
to such country as would be needed
for maneuvers of two or more regi-
mentS.
Augustus Advantages.
There would be a saving to the state
of $3.50 a man on transportation, Maj.
Coney said, if the encampment were
held at Augusta instead of Griffin, and
this is point which will weigh heav-
lily in Augustus favor. He thinks that
the question of tentage may cut some
figure, as the state has but a limited
quantity, and it will become necessary
to ship these from place to place where
it may be needed.
Ten thousand troops were establish
ed at Monte Sano, two miles from Au-
gusta, during the Spanish American
war, under Gen. Young, U. S. A, who,
with fifty of his officers, pronounced
the camp the healthiest in the coun-
! try, showing the lowest death rate.
The water was analysed and declared
the purest of any camp in the country.
Press dispatches from Augusta are to
the effect that the citizens and military
are anxious to have the encampment
at that point, and will do anything
within reason to secure it.

DAFFIN'S RESIGNATION
NOT YET DELIVERED.
Mayor Myers Doesn't Want Commits
sion Abolished.

sion Abolished.
In the event that Chairman P. d.
Daffin of the Park and Tree Commits
sion tenders his resignation there will
be no further friction between Coun-
Gil and the commission.
While none Of the members of City
Council care to discuss the matter be-
fore the next regular meeting. it is
known that not a few of them feel
that the withdrawal of Mr.. Daffin
from the commission will end the pres
ent agitation.
Mayor Myers does not want the
commission abolished. He thinks that
a commission of this kind is a good
thing and feels that the public is of
the same mind. Several aldermen who
were seen yesterday expressed them
selves in the same way and they
agreed that the trouble lies with the
chairman of the commission.
1t was reported to the Mayor yester-
day that Mr.. Daffin had a petition in
circulation at the Cotton Exchange
protesting against any changes in the
commission.
A large number of business men,
however, had taken up the matter and
circulated a petition in the form of a
protest to the City Council against the
abolishing of the commission and in
dorsing Chairman Daf1n's work as the
head of the commission.
The petition says: We, the under
signed property owners and citizens
of this city, fully realizing and appre-
ciating the important work being ac-
complished by the Park and Tree Com
mission, and the long, faithful, and
efficient services of Chairman Daffin,
hereby express our earnest protest
against any attempt to abolish said
commission or to remove Mr.. Dafin
from its head. We feel well assured
that the best interests of this city are
being most efficiently served by the
commission. and that no committee of
Council liable to biennial change and
necessarily exposed to political in
fiuence and control can possibly per-
form the same work and accomplish
the same results as are already de-
monstrated to the satisfaction of our
best citizens and the admiration of all
visitors to the city, in effective and
beautiful labors already accomplished.
We are sure we voice the sentiments
of our business men and best citizens
and of our cultured women"
