That Any People Ever Achieved on
The Field of Battle.

Washington c. Whitthorne, county
attorney, who had been to Washington
in the interest of the Merriwether

last night very much elated over the
results of his trip. The government
officials will come here on a tour Of
inspection on Monday and if they
make favorable report to the war
department the fight is won and one
of the greatest military camps in the
nation will be established on the IA
nous monument site.
TOO much praise cannot be accord,
ed Representative Padgett,' said Mr..
Whitthorne this morning. He rem
dered every possible assistance and
it was doubtless largely due to his
untiring efforts and his high standing
that nine of the twelve members of
the Tennessee delegation in congress
became very actively interested in the
fight. Mr.. Padgett's personal appeal
to Secretary Baker, of the war de
partment, secured a telegram from
that official to Gen. Duvall of this de-
partment, to have the Lewis site in
spected.
Senators Shields and McKella.
showed keen interest and were very
kind and helbful. They gladly aided
Mr.. Padgett as did every member OF
the house delegation, except Repre-
sentatives Hull Houston and Byrns
so that of the twelve members We
had the active assistance of nine.

situation. There is no question abou
