CURIOSITY
Over a Bottle of Acid Caused Some
Trouble.
Yesterday afternoon one of the col
ored orderlies at camp was aetit Into
the city to secure an electrical battery
for one of the officers.
The man secured the battery In its
case, and according to iustructions got
two bottles of sulphuric acid. As he
passed the Arlington someone brushed
into him knocking one of the bottles
out of his hand to the pavement,
breaking it.
The acid soon had the paper, which
was f.round the bottle, on tire, and
the fumes and general curiosity of
people soon had u crowd around. To
ew what it was several put their um
brella*, shoes and other articles in the
acid, and no«v they are woudetlag what
ate the bolts __
That harmTesa"Tooking little bottle
did many dollars worth of good to ih«>
storekeepers In destroying the property
if thfwr who wore too curious.

bt- foil forward, but the'Morn' driver
managed to retch him by one arm Just
in the nick of time
Hmt It not been lor Me driver the

No, we haven’t changed
our minds. We still believe
that it Is a most fortunate
circumstance for Augusta
that Camp McKenzie has
been established here.
The boys Invest their
money in the city, and we
get our share of it.
Sometimes they need
Socks, and we Sock them.
They buy Shirts, and we
Shirt them. Handker
chiefs, once in a while
they invest, and we invest
them. They say they are
pleased with our values,
and we like their money ;
we can use it to advan
tage. Further, we assure
them, whether privates or
epanletted epicures, the
best value is theirs at 810

U In the city. Jones waa a alar play- -
*r on the Prlucelon prep, learn when
hr decided to go to the univeralty. He
haa been there for three year*.
When volunteers were called for he
enlisted In one of the Auguata cotnpa
ulea. but when the boys were given
the furloughs he returned to the uni
versity.
The Second Georgia was mustered
out, but a» Jonee waa In Athens
when these two companies were dis
charged. he did not get out of service,
and ia now seeing about get Gog m lis
ten'd out.
Jones has many friends in Augusta,
blit he has not not been able tt? see
much of them on acrount of Injuries
received In the Aulmrn-Georgla game
All of hi* frieuds will be glad to
know, however, that yesterday by a
unanimous vote Jones was elected cap
tain of the '9B football team, and 'Var
sitji stock went up at onee.
There was cousldciuble tuik of Khl
Huff for captain, but as tlir gallant lit
tle quarterback Is In his sophomore
year, the liest interests of the team de
manded? tlie election of a more expe
rienced man. Huff cannot lie excelled
ns a quarterback, and he has played
better ball this seaeon, everything con
sidered, than at present. His star nev
er shined brighter than at present, but
the time has not arrived to mak. it
"Captain Kid." After next season
Huff will step forward nnd put on the
"epaulet s."
Jones has stood solidly by the team
this season. He ha* not only worked
conscientiously, but. hard, and to his
Individual efforts, more than any one
else, w as due the victory over Vander
bilt. With his feet Jones excels as a
kicker, fbut with his tongue he never
kicks. This had a great deal to do
with hi# election. The people who
were aulagoniaf.e to him in the past
were his most ardent supporters yes

1 veaaeta, searchlight* would be thrown

lights in front and on the aide*, to
show the splash of aU.sing projertlle*.
The Merrimac. upon discovery, would

jtwo tbcuaand yard#. apr»' -M > ,, ! r io
seek the shelter of batteries: she would
Throw pitch on the fires to mske heavy
i black smoke, as If forcing to the ut
-1 most. She would head In toward the
entrance nnd turn full down the
course for entering the channel, hlriw
iug her whistle in blast* as of fright
and distress. The searchlight would
Dash across and show a Spanish flag
at her peak. On f.pprcachlng the light*
would be thrown on the entrance io
facilitate her navigation, but carefully
avoiding resting upon her. The shore
batteries opening on the chasing vessel
would he re-'lied to and kept diverted
If they opened on the Merrimac. seach
i lights would be thrown in the gunners
face*.
However, an examination of th?
chart shooed the difficulties of naviga
tion to be so gr -at that no ssne ean
-1 tain would attempt to tnk« In a collier
1 8 t night or under circumstances that
did not admit of the utmost delibera
tion. It was shown that tugs were
used by single screw vessels of any size
on aecount of the turn in the channel
abreast Estrella Point. (See map, page
271.) The chances seemed to be against
ithe enemy's being deceived, and navi
gHiion depending upon searchlights
would entail chances of failure.
This plan and various other plans
involving the co-operation cf the fleet
were discarded in favor of the simnler
plan of going in alone by moonlight,
just before the moon should set. Sur
prise, under any condition, could be
j only partial at best, since a certain
! amount of light was absolutely neces
sary for navigation. The conditions
for surprise would be more favorable
toward daybreak. Moreover, a fleor,-
tlde must be chosen, so that, in case of
breaking the anchor gear, the vessel
would he set in th# channel and have
ample time for itching before the -tb
fduid =mi4 to throw her c,vH. while the
chances of being carried by the tide
through the whole length of the nar
row channel into the inner harbor
seemed improbable.
