An Old, Old Story

Most OF US have had laugh out

whale it has been the source of
much chaff and raillery. The story
Of Balak and BALKAN. however,
has much in il. Balak was a war
lord. BALKAN was a kind of En-
erson-a thinker with much
prestige. If BaIak could buy Ba-
lam then Balak would have a
better chance of victory II Ba-
laam be bought then he is done
for forever. a thinker and
teacher who is buyabIe is of no
account
The fight between the two is
told in a new book The Sons Of

MAJOR WATKINS DECLINES
And Major A. S. Buford, of Richmond,
Has Been Recommended by Cover
nor Stuart for Appointment as
Judge Advocate.

Indications are that the Fourth
Regiment Of Virginia militia will not
go into their annual encampment of
fifteen days Already delayed on &C
count of funds not being availa BILE,
due to the fact that the Apr oprta
ton bill did not pass Congress until
recently, 1t was further pointed out
yesterday that the majority Of the
Fourth Regiment officers are serving
as heads of recruiting details distrib-
uted throughout the State. Colonel
B. w. Salomonsky, camp commandant
here, belongs TO the Fourth Regiment.
and many other officers are assigned
to important duties. The transfer of
these officers from their present po-
sitions might be surrounded by con-
siderable difficulties. and 1t is unlikely
that the regiment will be called into
camp
General Sale stated last night that
he expects to confer with Colonel Ed
ward T. Goodwin, commander of the
Fourth Regiment, on the advisability
OF the encampment at this late date.
Colonel Goodwin was looked for yes
terday, but he did not arrive, but he
is expected here in a short time.
Major Robert f. L. watkins. of
Franklin, who has been appointed
judge advocate of the Tenth Division,
Of which the Virginia troops now In
Texas form a part, with headquarters
at FL Paso, yesterday notified General
Sale that he could not accept the ap-
pointment. In his place, Major A S.
Buford, of Richmond, has been recon-
mended by Governor Stuart as Judge
advocate. Major Buford's name has
been forwarded to the War Depart
ment for approval.
Colonel Consolvo, paymaster. ar
rived at Camp Stuart yesterday
Funds for the payment OF salaries of

is believed, however. that the money
will be forthcoming In few days.
Nothing new indicative of move
ment OF the troops at the camp to

General Sale, although now that the
he is hopeful that an early move
