AS to the death of Gen. Robert S.

blunder, 1 will attend to that matter.
Now, he appeals to the U. D. c. to
"arise" in their might and Sweep
us poor newspaper historians from the

would be among the first to be swept
away. But he forgets that half the
errors he refers to are made by lead

Why, talk about blunders by hasty

"Reynold" in honor of his uncle, Maj.
Reynold Marvin Kirby, u. S. A. This
refers to r. NJ. Kirby-Smith, U. S. A,
who this week married Miss Maude
Tompkins in Atlanta. On Tues
day night, preceding the Smith-Tom-
kins wedding on Wednesday morning,
came that of Lieut.. Louis S. d. Ruck-
er, Jr., U. S. A, and Miss Lucy
daughter of Judge William T. Newman
of the United States court. Both these
weddings were very notable affairs,
although the death of Judge Tompkins
made the Smith-Tompkins wedding
almost a quiet family affair. The past
two years have seen many lovely
Georgia girls welded to regular army
officers from other states. And the
happy marriage of Gen. John b. Cor
don's charming daughter. Caroline, to
a distinguished citizen of Portland,
Me-, is another link to bind the North
and South in a closer union of hearts
and hands.
And now comes William p. Calhoun
of Columbia, s. c., and renews the oft
exploded claim that the last cabinet

Lieut.. Clifford Jones, U. S. A, just
graduated from West Point, and Cadet
Dewitt G. Jones, still in that insttu-
ton, are brothers, and are visiting their
home at Norcross, Ga. 1t is not true,
however, as the Atlanta Journal SAYS
that this is the first case of two
brothers from Georgia being at West
Point at the same time. The journal
forgets that Lieut.. Grayson Heidi, u
S. A., and Capt. j. V. Heidi, u. S. A.
sons of Rev. John Wesley Heidi, D.
D., of Atlanta, were at West Point to-
gether, and that Lieut.. Guilielmus "
Heidi, another brother, rose from the
ranks, making there brothers holding
life commissions in the United States
Army. Then there were the Hoyle
brothers from Atlanta, both at West
Point at the same time, but only Mai
George S. Hoyle, U. S. A. (retired) was
appointed from Georgia, as Capt Eli
d. Fioyle, U. S. A, was appointed from
Alabama. There are also four Jer-
veys in the army, all brothers or near
relatives, three from South Carolina
and one from Georgia, the family hav-
ing resided at one time in Atlanta
Other cases somewhat similar might
be named; but there are many fami-
lies largely represented in both the
army and navy.
Brig. Gen. William H. Carter, u. s
A, of the new General Staff" has
become quite a writer for the press on
military topics, and yet he is not al
ways correct in his statements. Serb
ner's Magazine for June has an arti-
Gle from his pen on 1.-The War Depart
ment," in which he refers to Gen.
Lincoln as the first Secretary of War"
said Secretary at War" for such was
the title then, and it so remained until
1888, at which time the change to Sec
rotary of War" was made. Gen. Car
ter affirms what l have often writ
ten as to the misuse of the title of
n-chief" of "general-in-
chief" and commanding general" and

Under this plan the misnamed office
of commanding general will disappear
1t has ever been a delusion and a dis
appointment for the distinguished sol
diers who have occupied it," Scrib-
ner's for June also contains the second
article from Gen. John b. Gordon
which is entitled "Antietam and Chan
