butte to his work and worth from one

with especial pleasure in this part OF

Brigadier- General Josiah Gorgas, who
spent the four years OF the war In
this city, during which. time he served
as chief of General Lees ordnance de-
partment. Later General Gorgas be-
came head of the famous Tn. scrsity
of the South, at Scwanee, Tenn, and
there his son, William, received his
collegiate education.
DR.. Gorgas's work as chief of the
sanitation department in Panama has
given him, in the space of two or three
years. a worldwide reputation. There
he was confronted with a strip of land
notoriously unhealthy, teeming with
malaria, fever-spots, pest-holes and
unimagined difficulties of many sorts
With scientific precision he promptly
eliminated the disease breeding places
cleaned out the zone from one ocean
to another. and applied all the re-

Editor Of The Times-Dispatch:
Sir,--In the interesting article pub
ished in Your paper a few days ago
n the subject of Jefferson Davis in
Richmond" there was mistake made
ii locating the scene of his inaugura-
on us President of the Confederate
States in the hall of the House of
delegates.
| saw him take the oath of office on
& large platform erected for the pur-
pose on the eastern side of the WASH
iigton Monument, facing the Cover
nors house. Although there were many
citizens absent, particularly the young
men in the army, there was an I'M
mense concoursc of peopie present. not
one tenth of whom could have been
accommodated in the hall. ! suppose
there are very few adults now living
who witnessed that scene. hence the
doubt concerning its location, AS this
Inauguration was the most important
of all the events in Mr.. Davis's long
political career it seems appropriate
that the place as we'll as the time OF
Its occurrence should be accurately
known. After waiting while to sec
). some one else uldnotmake this cor
Iection have ventured as an eye
