Lincoln Visits Virginia Camps.
On Aug. 81 Lincoln and three mem.
bers of his cabinet, Seward. Chase
and Cameron, accompanied by Gen.
eral Mcclellan, visited all the camps
on the Virginia side of the Potomac
At this time the relations between the
president and General Mcclellan were
cordial. aud in his "Own Story" Me
Clelan wrote. referring to later
period, "My relations with Mr.. Lincoln
were generally very pleasant. and
seldom had trouble with him when we
could meet face to face" SO far as
can discover. this is about the only
good word General Mcclellan ever had
10 say of any of his superlors. Scott,
Stanton nnd Hallcck he scored un-

this came later, possibly for the reason
that Stanton had not yet become sec

n b order creating the Army of the
W. Potomac and giving General
George B. Mcclellan command
Of all the Union forces along the river
and as far to the rear as Baltimore
and Fort Delaware. This was new
departure in American military organ
ization. Heretofore there had been
geographical departments with ma
jor general over each, but no attempt
to create armies on the European
model. The new plan of organization
into corps and divisions was brought
forward by Mcclellan and was op-
posed by General Scott, who contend
ed that the old methods of brigades
and geographical departments were
good enough. Finally Mcclellan had
his way, and eventually his method
was adopted by all the armies of the
north. He also had a new plan OF
staff organization which was adopted.
1t is not without interest that he ap
pointed as his chief Of staff his father
in-law. Colonel Il. B. Marcy.
While organizing his troops McClel-
Ian had also been fortifylng Washing
ton. The man at the held of the en-
gineers was Major j. G. Barnard, after
ward brigadier general. This depart
ment was reorganized, and Barnard
was given charge of completing the
defenses of the capital.
One of the earliest orders issued by
the new commander of the Army of
the Potomac was that no more gray
uniforms should be purchased for
northern soldiers. Hardly fight had
occurred up to this time but that the
similarity in the uniforms worn in the
two armies had created confusion.
Many times Union troops had fired at
each other. At Wilson's Creek the
mistaking Of Confederate troops for
Federals had caused the defeat of
Sigel's column and possibly changed
the outcome of the whole fight.o
Danger From Beauregard Past.
On Aug. 20 Mcclellan wrote to
his wife: ''If Beauregard does not at
tack this week he s'foohsh. He has
given me infinite advantages, and you

Cost of News Print Paper.

A ton of news print paper can be
made in Canada for $5.35 less than
in the United States, according tc
the federal tariff board. A report
on the wood pulp and news print
paper industry in the United States
and Canada, submitted to the Sen
ate by President Taft, showed that
the average American cost for the
production of a ton of news print
paper is S32.SS, while the average
Canadian cost is S27 SO.
The Eprincipal causes for the
greater cost in the United States,
as set forth in the report, are that
ton of pulp wood costs nearly
twice as much in this country as
in it's northern neighbor, and that
many of the American mills, be-
ing older, have much less efficient
machinery.
The cost of labor is shown to be
slight. For the materials that g
into the making of a ton of news
print paper. it costs in Canada $l6.-

Resolutions of Respect

At meeting of the Directors of

ion was adopted and ordered to

Board:
Whereas it has pleased our Heav-
MY FatE,cr to take to himself our
,iend and fellow director, L. H.
Stephenson, we as the surviving
members of the directory of the
lilzrns Bank of Highland Inc. de-
sire to place on record our high
,ppr ecia.ion of our friend and
brother.
On the morning of May Sth 1911
Mr.. Stephenson departed this life,
having passed the list birthday in
rebur"ry last.
Within the time he was permit
ted to live, lie led an active, ener-
.ctic and industrious life. He
studied law at Lexington, Va,
lnder Judge Brockenbrough, and
began the practice of his profession
shortly before the war, but his
work was stopped by the war and
he became a Confederate soldier,
serving as lieutenant in Company
c of the 14th Virginia Cavalry,
McCauslands Brigade, until the end
# the war. When civil govern
ment was restored after the war,
he resumed the practice of law,
practicing with marked success in
his native county of High and and
Bath counties, and Pocahontas
county w. Va, and continued to
practice until a short time before
his death, so that it may be said
of him that he died with the harness
on. He was for a long time com
monwealth's attorney of Highland
and his conduct of the Office was
marked by vigor and ability.

He was largely instrumental IN the

Children's Health j..

Richmond, Va, May "a, 1911.
With an entire morning given to
the discussion of the health of
children, and with frequent refer
ences to the same subjects in prac-
tically every meeting, health experts
believe that the Child Welfare Con-
ference, now on in this city, will
result in great forward movement
for the care of infants.
Among the many points urged
by the various speakers, those which
made the deepest impression we're
the strong plea for the nursing of
children by their own mothers.
Statistics were cited to show that
the mortality among breast-fed in
fants was stirling compared with
the mortality among children fed
from bottles; and general crusade
was organized in behalf of breast
feeding.
