Rumors of 25-Mile Hike For First Regiment Bound to Send
Some of the Boys to the Field Hospital.
(By Frsd L. Tutt, Sergeant Co. D, Ist
Infantry.)
The First and .Second Batalllons, Ist
Infantry, were taken out In the woods
west of the camp yesterday and were
instructed in skirmishing. First two
squads were taken from each com*
pany and were given orders to get to
a house a mile distant without beln?T
seen by the enemy, which was "some
Job" before It was finished, as the boys
had to cut their way throtigh a »ol:d
mile of woods and cane break.
The first squad out, under command

‘TV First Regiment, spied Lieuten

rear of the house attacked and he
was promptly shot at, and rolled off
like "a real deed soldier."
The Y. M. C. A. tent seems to be al
ways full of the hoys writing home,
and from morning till night every desk
Is taken.
It Is being whispered around cam;i
that the entire First Regiment will be
taken out Tuesday for a twenty-five
mile hike to last two days, and which,
If It is the case, will Increase the at
tendance at the hospital tent, which
so fat has been less than ever before.
Let us ‘h'ope” that such will not be
the case.
The guard house Is still an popular
as ever arid has its "regular" attend

escaped It so far, a welcome and open
house awaits them.
Sergeant Helerger, a. regular army
man from the 16th infantry and who
has been appointed Instructor for the
Georgia National Guard, is in camp
and is kept busy shaking hands with
his many friends. Hergeant Sellerger
is i very popular man with the boys of
the First Regiment and especially with
the Augusta companies.

POLITICS CHS
5.G. CAMPAIGN
Gov. Elease Rapped Hard and
Often in Strong Language By
Opposing Candidates at Lex
ington.
Lexington, S. C.—" Cole L. Blease has
the dirtiest, filthiest record ever made :
by a white man in South Carolina, and
he has debauched the governor’s of
fice worse than Moses, Scott, or any
of the rascal governors of the recon
struction period," said L. D. Jennings
Friday, says a special to the Atlanta
Journal, in his terrific arraignmnt of
the pardoning record of Governor
Blease before the 1,500 Lexington
county citizens who heard the can
didates for United States senate.
“ Ihope my tongue will cleave to tbe
roof of my mouth and my arm wither
before I shake hands with the man
who made that filthy record,".shouted
the Sumter man with flashing eyes, as
he made reply to the statement of
Governor Blease about himself and
Mr. Pollock, which was "that when
men come on the stump to spew out
filth against a gentleman and put
themselves on a plane with John T.
Duncan and Barney Evans, the pres
ent governor of South Carolina he too
much of a gentleman to notice Them,”
adding, "I neither speak to thdm on
or off the stand.”
Mr. Jennings also charged that Gov
ernor Blease attempted to ruin the
good name of Dr. Eleanora B. Saund
ers, and predicted that the people were
going to "wipe him off the face of the
earth.”
Mr. Jennings received close atten
tion while he raked the governor's par
doning reoord, and was frequently
cheered.
Pollock Also Hits Blease.
W. L. Pollock also lambasted Gov
ernor Blease. telling a Jeering Blease
ite, "I will bury you and Cole Blease
to deep face downwards that If you
scratch out it will be in hell." To
others of the Blease men who were
heckling him he said. “Two years from
now, like Peter of Old, you will say, ‘I
never knew him,’" referring to Gov
ernor Blease. The Cheraw man charg
ed that the governor was out of Jolni
with everyone but his "own egotism;"
that he had criticised members of
President Wilson’s cabinet, was not In
harmony with the president, and was
fighting Senator B. R. Tillman, wno
stood "four square to every wind.” He
said that there were men on the dele
gation from Lexington In the recent
state convention, friends of Governor
Blease, who had "been with John G.
Capers Bull Moosers and other ne
groes."
He said of the 900 negroes who the
governor has paroled or pardoned;
“They would make fifteen acrioads.
the biggest negro excursion ever run
in South Carolina."
Smith Gats Ovation.
United States Senator E. D. Smith
was met at the depot by scores of
farmers, where they placed their cham
pion in a wagon and two carried over
him a big banner Inscribed “Lexing
ton for Smith by 1,500 majority."
Fanners In wagons fell In behind,
and the parade circled the public
square, while cries of "Hurrah for
Smith!" rent the air. He waa given
a big reception when he came on the
stand and told the farmers of his fight
for them. “I have kept the faith," he
said, receiving many cheers and much
applause. He was presented with two
bouquets, some fine peaches and a big
corn stalk.
Governor Cole L. Blease was driven
to the speakers' stand sitting In a
wagon with four young ladles, and
over the wagon was a big banner In
scribed "Blease for senator. Lexing
ton will give him 1.000 majority." Oth
er wagons containing his admirers
were In the parade and they cheered
their champion lustily.
Bleat* Interrupted.
In his speech which was constantly
Interrupted by cheers for Senate*
Smith. th« gov< -nor attacked the ap
polntment o District Attorney F. H.
Weaon. charging that he was a cor
poration attorney, and asked "how long
will President Wilson allow tha doc
trine laid own by Grover Cleveland
that no federal officeholder under him
ehould take part In party politics, to!
be vloiated?” adding "District Attor
ney Weston Is doing everything in hie!

party by splitting It Into factions in
Ills work for Senator Smith. So. when
we beat that gang, as we ar* going
to, they ran have an excuse to go to I
the general election."
He waa given flowers.
The Bleaae men gave their cham
pion a big reception, but the concensus
of opinion here Is that Senator Smith j
was the favorite.
G. 8 F. FILES APPEAL
10 COURT’S DECISION
Important Step Taken in Mat
ter of Trainmen’s Wages,
Recently Arbitrated in Au
gusta.
An appeal to the United States
I circuit court of appeals in the case
of the Georgia and Florida Railway
and its firemen and engineers, on tbe
matter of wages, was filed yester
day a ternoon in the office of the
Deputy U. S. Clerk here by Mr. Wm.
H. Barrett, general counsel Tor the
railway company. The ap;eal is
made from the decision of Judge Wm.
B. Sheppard, of Florida, in the case
of the award of the arbitrators.
The railway company contends that
the award of the arbitrators held that
they (the arbitrators) cou.u not con
sider the inability of the railway
company to earn Us actual operating
expenses as an element in fixing the
wages, and it is on this ground, prin
cipally, that the railway company
takes exception- The judge's decis
ion. according to Mr. Barrett, did not
touch this phase. It simply decided,
according to the road's counsel, that
under the Newlands Act, formerly
the Erdman Act, exceptions can bp
made to an award.
