have fail, d whether from design or not. to
truly depict the charm of our land and our
people. George \V. ('able is a notable ex
ample of a writer whose hooks have given
to strangers an entirely wrong idea of the

state it must be said that (’able is by no

he wrote in bitterness against the society
that ignored him. Thomas Nelson Page
is a j-t presentativc Virginian -“to the
manner horn." In “.Social Life in Old
Virginia Before the War’,’ (Scribners) he
writes his “brief sketch" of that life itself.
He gives as one of his reasons for writing
it, though the book is in itself reason
enough, “the absolute ignorance of the
outside world of the real life of the South
in the old tiyies,” but as his chief motive
"sheer affection.” Beginning with a de
scription of an old Virginia home that
makes one long to 'be in the Old Dominion
again, he carries us with him in his mem

the hands during harvest-time, introduces
us to a typical “Mammy" and the crowd

mistress, th ■ young ma ter and young mis
tress. .besides some aunts and cousins, and
the relatives ot» friends who did not live
there, but were only always on visits."
The very reading of the book causes one
to imbibe some of the qualities of those
times, and compels an agreement with the
author when he says: "That the social life

PLAN OF’CAMPAIGN.
(Continued from page 1.)
Thereupon some ten or twelve regiments
of yellow fever immunes, now being re
cruited at New Orleans and in Florida,
will be sent to replace Hie regulars. Ttiese
immunes and the fort will 'be under the
command of General Joe AVheeler, th;
Confederate cavalry deader. General
Wheeler himself is a yellow fever immune.
General Joe Wheeler will go with the
regulars to Cuba to to supervise the
work of fortification (which will be
under the direction of the engineering
corps) and to arrange for permaent occu
pation and defense of the fortified place.
SUPPLY BASE.
This place will have the sea for its base
and Sampson’s fleet for a supply train. It
will be the gate of the United States into
Cuba, and will be held at all costs.
Through it arms, ammunition and supplies
in any desired quantity. To Generals Go
and Garcia. 'The task of 'General Wheeler
and his immunes will be to hold the gqte
open from now until next October. For
this purpose they will have unlimited ar
tillery in place and ammunition therefor
in any desired quantity. T oGenerals Go
mez and Garcia and the 35,000 men under
them will be given the task of penning
General Blanco ' and his 110,000 Spanish
regulars and. volunteers in Havana and of
keeping them from escaping to other
points in Cuba. For this purpose the ar
mies of Generals Gomez and Garcia will
be concentrated in the eastern end of
Cuba with Joe Wheeler’s gate for a base
of supplies.
THE VOLUNTEERS.
Now we come back to the United States
for the plan of campaign there. The vol
unteers, 125,000 strong, will be divided
into camps of 25,000 each, in Southern
States, where they can be drilled all sum
mer, and especially in army corps tactics
and strategy under regular army officers.
This drill will include long marches, sham
three-ady campaign battles, assaults, de
fenses, etc. Meanwhile the volunteers will
be toughening and hardening under the
daily exercises beneath a Southern sun. It
is not expected that these volunteers shad
•see service-in Cuba except that a regiment
now and then may be sent over to Cuba
to fill up gaps in the regular army made
■by the vicissitudes of war, ..fter the reg
ular army shall go over next October.
• . COMBINED ARMIES.
In October, if Havana meanwhile shall
not have fallen or Spain shall not have
yielded, our regulars—2s,ooo strong—will go
over to Cuba’ through Joe Wheeler’s gate
and the grand combined advance of the
armies of the United tSates and of Cuba
upon Havana will be made. This will be
under, the command of General Miles, co
operating with General Gomez, and will
make short work of Havana. There will
be a combined land assault and naval
bombardment, under which it is expected
Havana will have to capitulate. It is ex
pected that this will end the war, and that
Christmas will find the Western hemis
phere at peace.
In the assault in October General AVheel
and his immunes will have a place.
THREE -POINTS PENDING.
Only three points in the above plan are
pending final decision. They are:
1. Whether General Wheeler and ' his
immunes shall push through the gate and
spend the summer with General Gomez
and his Cubans in the field in in the work
of penning General Blanco and his Span
iards in Havana. In that case the gate
will be held by General Shafter and his
6,000 regulars, who. in that even will not
return to the United States after the forti
fications shall have h?en finished, but. in
stead, will stay and hold the gate. This
would be more in accord with General
Wheeler’s desire and that of his men.
2. General Lee’s apointment to the com
mand of the army of Phillipine occupation
is being canvassed and not yet defintely
decided.
3. It is possible that Colonel Womls and
Lieutenant Colonel “Ted” Roosevelt’s
cowboy rough riders will go over with the
regulars in October, or even before.
That is the campaign so fas as now
planned by President 'McKinley and his
advisers. Progress of events may neces
sitate a change, but if not it will be car
ried out as indicated.
PROPHETIC
Toast Given on the Occasion of Dewey'
Departure to the East.
At a dinner given to Commodore George
Dewey at the 'Metropolitan Club November
27, 1597, just before he started for the
Asiatic squadron, the following noetic toast
was off- ied by Colcrel Archibald Hopkins,
clerk of the court of claims:

We know our honor’ll be unstained,
M’here’er his pennant flies,
Our rights respected and maintained.
Whatever power defies.
And when he takes the homeward tack.
Beneath an admiral’s flag.
We’ll hail the day that brings him back,
And have another jag.

TO MARCH OUT
WITHIN TWO DAYS
Major Kenan’s Battallion Will
Probably Be Ready By
That Time.
ALL GO OUT. TOGETHER.
Then the Real Work Will Begin
When They Get Into the
Griffin Camp.
• The mobilization of the Georgia volun
teers wili commence this afternoon at
Griffin.
The officers were greatly gratified yes
terday that the chance they have been
waiting for to go into camp is near at
hand.
The troops from all parts of the state
wil be rushed to Griffin not later than to
morrow ’afternoon, and on Sunday it is
probable that the two light batteries of ar
tillery and the two regiments of infantry
will l’>e rushed to Griffin not later than to
ratkms with many hopes of ft trip to Cuba
in a short time.
The officers say that they have been de
layed on account of a lack of physicians to
conduct the physical examination of the
men before the latter could' be mustere)
into the volunteer army. This is a very
important'work and things were dependent
upon it more than any thing else.
The examiners have now been chosen
and commenced the work this morning
and it will be pushed.
Acting (Adjutant General Erwin said yes
terday that the troops were not mobilized
sooner because- it was needless for the
state to pay the fare of the men to Griffin
and there have them examined and many
of them be thrown out and the state have
to bear the expense of sending them to
their homes.
. “In other southern states this haste has
been the result of much embarrassment to
the state in the fact that such a condition
of affairs has arisen.” says 'Captain Erwin.
“The governor of Alabama called out the
troops, and after getting them in camp
the physical examination was had and it
was found that about 25 per cent of them
had to be sent borne. It was the same in
South Carolina, except that the per cent
age of men thrown out was even greater.
This will be prevented in Georgia, and' the
work of recruiting which has been going
on here for several weeks will now have to
be commenced by these hasty states and
they will be much delayed on account of
it-”
The soldiers, as soon as the command to
go to Griffin has been given, will be placed
on the trains in Macon and hurried away.
Guartermaster Hardeman left Atlanta
yesterday for the Griffin camp, and will
comence this morning ts put the camp in
condition for occupancy. He will 'be as
sisted by Captain eKnan, who is already
on the ground. The tens where the men
will sleep will be put up and the quarters
of each company will be designated, as will
also be the battalion and regimental di
visions.
The cooking facilities, which is a very
important part .of the camp • equipment,
will be established. The supplies for the
men are now in Griffin and little prepara
tion is necessary for this. Colonel Oscar
Brown, commander of the Second regi
ment, will be in command of the eamp
and he will probably go down- this after
noon with some members of his staff and
Captain S. P. Mills, the muster officer.
The officers .will take up their head
quarters on the ground and prepare for
the great work that is before them. The
mustering will commence Saturday after
noon and on the occasion for the first time
the regiments will be drawn up in line
and a full survey of the make-up can be
obtained. The mustering will require
much time, and it may be several days
before it is completed.
The drilling of the soldiers will be an
onerous duty on the officers, and this im
portant work will be largely entrusted to
the sergeants, who will give the men in
structions in the military movements by
squads. This work will be under the direct
supervision of the captains and lieuten
ants.
liiose men who have had military ex
perience'will be drilled probably in com
pany formation and more rapid strides in
discipline and training will be made with
them.
From the start regular army life will he
in vogue and the men will have none of
the tin soldiery that is often brought out
in the state encampments and street pa
rades. The men will be suplied with just
those things which are necessary, and
plain but nourishing and blood producing
food, as prescribed by the army regula
tions, will be fed to the soldiers.
The equipments and accoutrements, con
sisting of the uniforms, guns, boyonets,
canteens, 'knapsacks and other necessa
ries, are on the way here and will be dis
tributed to the troops as soon as neces
sary.
The supplies for food have been shipped
to Griffin with a large number of tents
and other necessaries. The men will be
amply cared for and close attention will
'be paid to their comfort.
There is a large crowd around the Capi
tol .each ady, consisting of recruits that
an 1 .waiting for the call to fall in. These
young men are of every class and condi
tion. Manj- of them sleep in and around
the caipitoT at nights and some of them
have no place to get food. They have come
largely from a distance with the expecta
tion of securing immediate enlistment and
thought they would fall under the protec
tion and care of Uncle Sam as soon as they
arrived in the city.

McCOWAN’S STATEMENT.
He Says Shat He. Was the Victim of Mis
placed Confidence.
The following card has been % received
from 'Constable B. F. McCowan, who was
yesterday discharged in the superior court
on the charge of contejnpt of court in hav
ing tried to secure some of the witnesses
in the Joiner case to swear that their evi
dence given at the preliminary hearing
was not true:
Editor 'Evening News: As an act of
sheer justice I ask a brief space in your
columns to make a final statement touch
ing the late rule against me in the supe
rior court. When I was adjudged not
guilty, I had determined to drop the mat
ter and try to forget the wrong that was
done me by the party who instigated the
proceeding by designedly scheming to en
trap me. But a reference to the case in
the Telegraph of today, makes it proper
that I submit to my many friends this
final statement.
After a full and fair investigation of the
facts, I was acquitted of all guilty intent
act in cpntem.pt of the court.
This finding necessarily established my
defense that I had been the victim of mis
placed confidence.
If in my efforts to do an act of purest
charity and protect a woman against what
I was led. to believe was an unholy im
position upon her. if 1 say, in this I incur
strictures for being overzealous. All I
have to say is that an approving conscience
•is a. reward that cannot ihe taken from me.
Respectfully, B. F 'McCowan.
BURN HIM UP
Murderous Negro in New Or
leans is Pursued by Mob.
New Orleans, May G.—Corporal Cleary,

a Diamond Tooth Joke.
Here is an anecdote about a Brooklyn
dentist that has recently caused a smile or
two in drawing room and club circles not
far from the heights. A wealthy mat
upon whom nature has bestowed a rugged
and serious countenance to mask a joking
disposition called at the office of tho den
tist aforesaid in actual distress over a bro
ken front tooth. “Can anything lie dona
to remedy this defect?” he asked eagerly.
Upon examination the dental artist
found that one of two very hifgu and prom
inent upper teeth had been damaged be
yond repair. “It must come out, ” ho said
curtly.
“No, no, you must build it up,” ex
claimed tho visitor. “I can’t spare that
tooth. Its removal would make jny mouth
look like an open porthole.”
“Oh, well, I can replace it,” complacent
ly answered tho dentist. “The old ono
must certainly come out, but I will put in
a new one that will make you look better
than ever before. It will be firm and reg
ular and much handsomer than tho old
one.”
“Ah!” muttered tho wealthy man.
“That’s what I want. Make it as at
tractive as possible.”
“Yes, indeed, I will,” said the dentist
enthusiastically. “You shall have a tooth
that will bo perfect in form, white, pearly
and glistening”—
“Say, doctor,” interrupted the visitor
with mock gravity,.“couldn’t jA:>u set a
large diamond in the middle of it?”
“Oh, no, I wouldn’t do that,” replied
the dentist hastily, but in sober earnest.
“Os course I know that you can well af
ford it, but it would look— well, just a
trifle too conspicuous, don’t you know.”—

There is no man in public life who en.
joys a story more than Samuel Hamilton,
county superintendent of public schools.
Mr. Hamilton tells one on bimself which
came about when he was a country school
teacher,
“I had a big class and was just a littls
nervous on my first break into life as a
teacher,” said the big fellow. “I had a
.•lass rp, and a little fellow who sat up in
the corner began twirling his thumbs like
wildfire. He seemed to be trying to break
his own record at thumb twirling, and ha
was doing well when I landed down at hia
end of the earth with a question. Ho
didn't bear me at all. I might as well
have been in the Klondike for all be cared.
He was twirling so that his little thumbs
locked like a pinwheel.
“ ’William, ’ I shouted, with a voice that
jarred the stove door open and broke a
email boy’s slate across the room. William
woke up and looked at me In a dazed fash
ion.
“ ‘ls that all you can do in class?’ I
thundered.
“Quick ae a flash came the reply: ‘No,
eir; I ean do it backward just as fast.’
And tn make his words good he liegan to
twirl those thumbs backward at lightning
