 'In all my experience in cam paigns during and since the war, I have never known one where the people were more favorable to the cause than this. One mechanic yes terday stated that he only received three days work a week and that his pay was greatly reduced, but he wanted to make a subscription as he planned to send his son to Auburn when he finished high school two or three years hence.
