rear of this line, and likewise on the
north side of the river SO as to thor

railway bridge. His right being estab-
lished at this ford, his left should have
been thrown back north OF Decatur, and
his entire line strongly intrenched. From
this position of perfect safety he could
have made constant demonstrations
against the city, whilst Mcpherson and
Schofield destroyed the road to Augusta.

Peach Tree, with no possible chance 1f
successfully assaulting the enemy at any
point. His right and rear would have
been covered by a deep and muddy
stream; his front protected not only by
breastworks, but also by one OF the
branches of Peach Tree Creek. 1 could
not have attacked either his left or Nc
Pherson and Schofield, without march
ing out of Atlanta and exposing our left
flank to Thomas. 1 would have been

Another Plan.


After my loss of the Augusta road,
Mcpherson and Schofield should have
marched by the right flank down Peach
Tree, in rear of Thomas's line. until
their right restel on the Chattahoochee,
and then have halted. Gen. Sherman
having his army thus massed. and well
in hand, in rear of Peach Tree Creek,
should have thrown across the Chatta-
hoochee sufficient number of pontoon
bridges to allow the easy and rapid pas
sage of his troops; have sent two corps
of Thomas's army across and down the
Chattahoochee, on the northwest side,
to favorable crossing just below Camp
Creek or one of the deep ravines or
creeks, heading in the direction of East
Point, and running toward the river
upon the southwest side: have laid pom
toons, crossed over, and strongly in
trenched. Whilst this move was in
progress the main body should have
made heavy demonstrations along the
line of Peach Tree to the Augusta road,
which diversion would have held my
army in position on the north side of
Atlanta.
The two corps below Camp Creek
having their line and outposts estab-
lished sufficiently in advance to allow
full, space for the massing of the army,
Thomas should have left the division IN
tue pIottSltu DS uitSi
abatis, whilst another division, with dis
mounted cavalry, occupied his position
on Peach Tree Creek with cavalry on
their left, and a few batteries to sup
pert their line; then have marched, at
dusk, with the remainder of Lis army to
join the two corps below Camp Creek,
followed by Schofield and Mcpherson.
The transportation of the Federal
army having been previously parked on
the north side OF the Chattahoochee,
Gen. Sherman could with entire safety
have rnassed his army in the space of
one night on the southeast side of the
river, below this creek, as the two di-
visions left on Peach Tree had a secure
place of refuge in the tete-de-pont in
the event I had moved out in that di-
rectiop.
These preparations completed, he
should on the morning of the morrow
have ordered the divisions and cavalry
along this stream to make demonstra-
tions against the city whilst Thomas
pushed forward in the direction of East
Pofnt-changing front forward on his
left-and formed line of battle with his
left flank resting as high up on Camp
Creek as it would afford protection
against its being turned, and his right
extending to or across the West Point
Railway; have instructed Schofield and
Mcpherson to move rapidly. as they
had done upon Decatur and the Augusta
road, to deploy on Thomas's right along

and grace Of chorus and the mechani-
cal effects, the "Isle Of Spicc,"
which will be presented at the Opera
House, Saturday, March 3lst., will
far excel any similar production ever

been lavishly expended in the matter
Of costumes for this musical extrav-
aganza, and the piece is staged in
splendid style. The light effects are
original and startling. The female
members Of the company have been
selected with much care, and they are
not only pretty of face and figure,
but rich in voice.
The leading ladies Of the company
are: Miss Leslie Leigh and Miss Mat
tic Martz. Miss Leigh is cute Miss
with beautiful soprano voice, which
she has many opportunities for US
ing during the performance. Miss
Martz is both pretty and graceful,
and is sure to be favoritc with the
audience from her first appearance.
Her voice is exceedingly clear and
sweet, and when she sings, every inli-
vidnal in the audience will sit up and
take notice. -.

WHY?

The Herald and News does not
know much about the whiskey busi-
ness or the business Of the dispensary.
in fact it might be said that We know
nothing about it. But being a citi-
zen Of the state and therefore slight
ly interested in the whiskey business
done by the state we presume to
make inquiry.
We have not the figures or the pa
pers before us but we have a faint
recollection that the investigation
committee appointed by the legisla-
ture to look into the management OF
the dispcnsary in addition to sundry
other things discovered that the state
had more whjskcy on hand than the
law permitted. In fact we believe the
law says the stock must be kept down
to some 100000 and they found that
there was somewhere about million
dollars worth Of liquor on hand and
they ordered the commissioners to
withhold payment or something to
that effect and the present board
passed resolutions to cooperate with
the investigation committee The in
vestigation committee also furnished
the board with list Of whiskey deal
ers who were under suspicion by them
and from whom no whiskey was to be
bought. The new board. however,
with this big stock Of goods on hand,
according to the reports purchased
$4,000 barrels Of whiskey aud
brandy, IL cars Of beer, 1925 eases Of
case goods. 1t would take two trains
Of Is cars each TO handle the bulk Of
the entire purcha>r.' Now if the
dispensary is ovcrstockcd ana the
payment Of what is already bought is
to be withheld why purchase more
whiskey. Why not sell what is on
hand before purchasing 50 much
more goods. Why not pay for what
has been bought before purchasing
more goods. That seems to us to be
a pertinent question. IF it is not we
do not insist on it.
We do not understand how the
commission can Withhold payment for
the goods ordered by those who were
authorized to make the order.

HOGS-No one knew exactly where they
were at in the hog yards this morning ow-
ing TO the uncertainty regarding receipts
Everything seemed 70 indicate that the run
would be very large, but Just how large
Il was hard to say, as eightv-five cars Of
stock were reported back OF a washout on
the Northwestern Just west OF Fremont
The fact that no one knew whether they
were hogs or cattle or whether they would
be in time for today's market added to the
uncertainty Packers representatives took
Z for granted that the run would be large
and they were evidently determined TO he
on the safe side. hence started out bidding
fully &c lower than yesterday. In other
words, their bids were on the basis OF SO %
for the general run Of hogs, the popular
price yesterday having been 81. Is. Sellers
also seemed TO think It best to be on the
safe side and hence were refusing to make
the concession on the ground that II IL
should become necessary to take on they
could do so on the close just as well as on
the opening. The result was that the fore
noon dragged along with nothing being
done and the trade being practically at a
standstil When the hogs did sell they
went largely at Sc. 22lf or PIC lower than
yesterday Everything was sold by II
o'clock.
The weakness developed today carries the
market to the lowest point touched since
May 9, when the average Of all the hogs
