we put In on the trenches one day had
disappeared after wet night, and we
had to set to work all over again.
Last night I went out with two men
to examine the state of the ground In

exciting work. To begin with. one OF

Gratis of the 18th Legislature have

many problems to solve since they
first came to Augusta that they have
formed the habit of announcing a Sc
cret caucus to meet in the evening in

usual notice was given yesterday af-
ternoon at the close Of business, and
last night the weary Democrats
dragged themselves to the State House
TO find out what new trouble had
arisen and what was to do. Upon
arriving there they learned that 4
false alarm had been sounded, that
nothing was wrong; there were no
more Republicans to be unseated and
nc stubborn Democrat to be whipped
back into the traces. Moreover, no one
would acknowledge the responsibility
of calling the caucus. One by one
the relieved Democrats walked blithely
home and. crawled into bed.
