Camp Northen, Ga., May 17.—Yesterday
the government eommenc.-.l giving the
Ml' 11 le I e the lift ile t .111 men t of <quip
mints, and all day have been busy with
the work.
The “upidi. which were given the men
came m most opportunely, as a large num
ber us them were without a change of
clothing and were m arly barefooted. One
suit of underclothing ami a pair of shot.-,
w. re furm.-hed tile men, and an order i.va
Issmd Inal all . xlra clothlug be washed iby
the men at once, and every available Ir. e
and bush m id some article of 'clothing put
out in lhe sun Io dry.

lation army auppiies, and though a littl.
rough, will give Valuable service. There
are no half numb, it in ■shoes, ami sonic
of the men who ordered their shoes a half
number 100 large are hardly able to carry
them, for tile shoe: are lull size and are
nbout half a size largei than the regular
shots, so that there is r. ally necessity
for asking for a larger size than is gen
erally worn. It is. hardly probable .Chat
the men will be supplied wtlii uniform
and guns litre, li is reported that they
will be carried to Chickamauga and bt
fitted up. Some of 11m companies have
their guns here, ami the men are being
drilled tn the manutl, but those who havi
no guns are learning the marching orders
Ju comparison with this gattierlng or
troops i| tie state encampment was child’.-
play, ami everything is business from cook
to colonel.
For the past few days the captains of the
Jiff' rent compaui. s have assembled theli
command in th. respective mess halls
and read them the ai tides of war and in
struct. <1 tin m in t'he art of handling and
carrying their guns. It is settled Ibeyoud
a doubt m»w that the Springfield rilles will
be u-ed. as this was the gun winch the
men were instructed to take to pieces and
to care tor. .it is not known here whether
or not the guns will be calhd in from the
different armories of the slate, .liu’t it is
thought tiiai ti.e guns which were discard
ed ‘by the regular army will -be furnislud
the volunteers. It is probable, however,
that what knapsacks, hav.t.acks ami can
teens which are now in possession of the
Geoigia troops, will be us. d and the de
ficiency made up from the national arse
nal.
All <’l the good things which the people
of I Macon left here Sunday have about dis
appeared. and the boys have dropped back
to th" bread, loans and t.acon, witli black
coffee to drink at 5:10 in the morning ami
for dinner ami supper.
The hardest drill of the day is the forty
live minute drill before breakfast, and
when tile men come in they are glad to
see even the bacon ami black coffee. There
has been icoiisider.-.-ble impi ov.-ment in the
'bread Inrnishcil the troops, and the boys
have made up their minds not to complain
any more elf the food, or of any of the
hardships imposed upon them, and the
quarters of the IMaeon companies ring
again with the merry laughter and Jolly
songs. Chough it is evident that while they
laugh many are thinking of fond parents
ami sweethearts at home, and while every
man in the regiment is anxious to get to
tin front as early i.i possible, there, is a
sentinu nt in every man's breast which he
catefully guilds against the eyes of his
companions.
It is already a noticeable fad that the

OjjpQ Poor Way
VHW to T reat
Eczema
Is to rely upon local applications, such as soaps, lotions, salves,
etc., which can not possibly go below the surface. This treat
ment is very much like attempting to boil water by applying
the heat to the top of the vessel containing it. Everybody knows
what a crude and unsatisfactory process it would be, and nc
one would think of employing such a method. Yet it is a very
common thing for those afflicted with Eczema, tp expect to be
cured by treatment which does not touch the disease. Eczema
is not a skin disease, as so many people think, although it pro
duces fiery and burning itching that becomes almost unbearable.
Zinc ointments, and other applications containing minerals,
should be avoided, as they are very injurious to the skin.
The disease itself, the real cause of the trouble, is in the blood,
and only a real blood remedy, like Swift’s Specific, which goes
down to the very foundation and forces out all impurity, can
ever have any permanent effect upon it.
I had Eczema on my foot for twenty
frifi) years, and notwithstanding constant treat-
as ment it continued to spread and grow worse.
I used salves and lotions innumerable,
iji- and also used several blood remedies, but
V / none had any effect. The disease finally ex-
- J tended from my toes to my knee, and the
pain and itching were almost unlH\irable. On
V account of my age (which is 70) the physicians
V said a cure was impossible. One dozen bot-
Jx' JN ties of S. S. S. cured me completely, and now
only the sears remain to show the awful struggle I have endured.
Mrs. Sarah Pike,
477 Broadway, South Boston, Mass.
I have been a sufferer for eight years with
that horrible disease. Eczema, and no per- ’wl
son can describe the burning and itching I Fk M
had to endure. 1 was treated by the best Vj
of physicians with no success, and tried all |
the patent medicines recommended for Ec- JF
zema without any g<xxi results. 1 went to /"J jJ/X
several celebrated nuMlicnl resorts, but the
disease soon returned. 1 then tried S. S. S. W-yy S \
and after a short while the burning and itch
ing subsided and I continued to improve x *’' '*
steadily until I was well—entirely cured. Wm. Armstrong,
De Fere, Wis.
Those who are content with only temporary relief from Ecze
ma can continue the use of local applications, but all who
would have every trace of the irritating, burning disease thor
oughly eliminated and the system rid of it forever, will find
the only cure in Swift ’s Specific (S. S. S.). Being a real blood
remedy, it never fails to cure the most obstinate, deep-seated
cases, which are lieyond the reach of other remedies. S. S S.
is the best blood remedy, because it is Pl RELY VEGETABLE
and is the only one guaranteed to contain no mercury, potash
or any other mineral.

When the troys come in from drill now

Camp Northern, Griffin, Ga.. May 17—
Tin- Macon companies are still the lions
In camp life, and there is not a jollier set
anywh.re They set the pace of every
thing. and are voted the best military or
ganizations in camp.
I am told that one of the post command
ent said that the selection of Georgia's
volunteer:; by the governor was most judi
cious, though he has been accused of in
troducing politics into the appointments,
and he still better displayed his good judg
ment when so many valuable officers were
selected from 'Macon.
Major Owen T. Kenan is regarded as one
of the most thorough military men in the
-fate, and his ability and good judgment
i: recognized by all the officials. The men
in Major Kenan’s battalion are no less
pi mid of him than he is of them.
Three of the Macon companies are in
M ajor K' nan’s battalion, the 'Hussars, the
Floyd Rifles and the Guards, and there is
the most perfect hamony in this command.
The Perry Hilles, which is considered one
of the finest drilled companies in the state,
makes up the four companies in the bat
talion.
The Hussar have long been looked upon
a- the most thorough military company in
the state, and though there are many raw
i .ciuitsin the company. Captain Bell now
has one of the best all round companies
in all of Georgia’s volunteers. Captain
Bell’s name has been synonymous with
p. ifect military discipline and his capa
bilities are unquestioned. ,
The old Floyd 'Rifles bear the reputation
won during the civil war with cpdit now,
and under Captain Blanton Winship are
fast becoming one of the most efficient
companies in camp. Out of a large number
of raw recruits Captain Winship has se
lected a company that Is second to none.
The Guards are fast winning an en
viable reputation under their new name,
and the Macon Guards promises to be a
name of as much note as was ever the Ma
con Light Infantry.
The Volunteer, arc not in the same bat
talion wi'h the other Macon companies,
md this is the only regret that the hoys
have, that they could not all be together,
everybody knows of the Volunteers, a
happy lot of the best fellows in the coun
ttv. They are very much like a large
family, and boast the handsomest set of
officers in the regiment. The Volunteers
are now settling down to business, and will
prove as good fighters as they are enter
tainers, which is the host
Many interesting incidents take place
each day, and the soldiers’ life is not so
burdensome as some at first imagined it
was going to bo. The coming of the home
folks put new life and inspiration into the
boys, and now that they have seen how
those they have left .behind stand beside
them, tiny are determined to do or die.
Bob Hodges, of the Volunteers, says lie
is in receipt of a delicately perfumed bar
"f soap of which he is very’ proud, but
wants to know the name of the sender,
lie says he thinks he knows why’ it was
' nt, for while the visitors were here Sun
day, lie wanted to impress them with the
needs of t>ie soldiers and placed a large
• ■ake of turpentine soap on the stand in
front of his tent.
Everybody is congratulating little Fritz
Jones on his appointment to the position
of sergeant major. Fritz was one of the
'ftieient sargeants in the Hussars and was
appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Mr. Pope Hili, of iMacon.
Lieutenant Walter Corbett, of the Floyd
'ifles, is settling down to work and is one
of the most enthusiastic . and energetic
officers in the regiment,
Sargeants Herbert 'Smart and Lloyd
Massenburg have turned out two beautiful
crops of beard. They say' they are going
to cut them off when they get long and
make love knots for the girls at home.
Though army’ regulations do not require
it, all of the boys are being nicknamed.
High John McDaniel, who is six feet five,
is now' known as “Shorty,” Corporal Geise
Geeslin as “Drake,” Harry' Garden as
Maud,” Tom Ellis as “il Willie,” Warren
Wiley as “Parson,” Redheaded Jess Bolles
as “Blondy.” Herbert Smart as “Ichabod
Crane,” and a hundred others. In every'
instance the men are given names that are
not at all appropriate.

this or any ot’iier state ever had the -honor
of inarching to the trout in defense of this
■ country. There they are, brave, hottest
and true, awaiting with breathless anxiety
‘the call demanding their immediate pres
eme on Cuban soil, there to revenge the
death of the brave and gallant boys who
lost their lives on rhe long to be remem
bered Maine.
How the heart of the young soldier
throbs, and the biood he inherited boils
as it finds its way through the system,
when the sad fate of this ship, whose name
will never grow rusty with age, is men
tioned. We give you the blessed assur
ance that every man, woman and cnild left
behind, admires the bravery of the act in
offering your services in this important,
yet dangerous voyage. 'At night when the
■beautiful moonlit heavens are hid from the
eyes of the soldier boy by’ the canvas
overhead, bear in mind that at your homes
are true friends wis’hing for you a safe
return, and Christian soldiers praying for
your safety, laden with honor and victo
ry over the Spaniards. Every true son who
who has enlisted, after the toils of camp
lite have been earnestly and intelligently'
pursued, in our mind, with every other
worldly care becomes drowned in the sea
of forgetfulness, what delightful simplici
ty characterizes one’s mind to divert back
to home, sweet home, although humble,
there is no place l.ke home, especially on
the eve of battle. Before closing the eyes
tiie great comforter sleep will not relieve
your droopy lids, until, mother, sweet
mother, enters the mind of the soldier
brave. There before you is portrayed as it
by magic, her 'form, her tear-stained iaee.
as it looked, when she said good-bye, per
haps farewell. Loft, yes, fill '.behind with
a broken heart, whose prayers for her no
ble 'boy have already become to numerous
to enumerate. These thoughts cause a
tear to be shed from the bravest eyes and
•the stoniest heart becomes touched. Oh,
■the name of mother, honor it, and on t'he
fieldis or 'battle, remember her prayers are
for you, that you may prove true soldiers,
an honor 'to your country and your God!
The souvenir’s that you carry with you,
from dear ones at home, will add greatly
toward encouraging you when the roar ot
the cannon is heard the 'breath of the bul
let is felt, and t'he noonday' soon is dint
nif-d by the smoke at the musketry’, then,
and not until 'then will the words and the
promises return,'when those little souvenirs
were given you by a dear loved one far
away. Again, think of the brave father
at home, who witli unexcelled duty as a
soldier braved the storms oi a cruel war
for four years, and bears today, not the
badge of cowardice; no, no, never. God
forbid! but instead, he beats the scars of
honor and bravery, which words can never
express and the pen of a reiady writer dare
not touch. Think again, 'Southern braves,
of the noble father and brother whose life
blood was so freely shed for our country —
died on the bloody fields of Manassas, and
elsewhere, pierced with the enemy’s 'bullet,
dying, yes, dying, with no friendly hand to
render aid —no friendly and cheering voice
to breathe one word of consolation.
There, alone among the dead and dying,
they passed away, as Virginia's cooling
breeze fanned their cheeks and tiie pine
trees mourned the sad, sad requiem of
their fate. Brave boys, while thinking
thus consider well a 'father's bravery and
a father's love, 'and if an engagement with
tiie enemy be neecsasry, it is the wish of
not only your friends, but of the state that
you return.
May every report of your gun be the
death of a Spaniard and should you become
a victim in the struggle for the rights
■and liberties of these United States, die
brave for your father’s sake —and to your
sweet memory will be given what ta hero
deserves, remembrance.
When you leave 'Griffin, (which will be
in a few days) to attend to the many duties
that 'beta’ll a soldier in army life far away,
leaving parents, sisters, brothers and last
but best of all, sweethearts, bear in mem
ory’s 'casket the precious and sacred
thought, that at your homes other brave
boys, tried and true, will act as a shield of
defense, and give the same protection that
they would receive at your hands. Yes,
we will do all this at the sacrifice of our
own lives.
Should the kind hand of Providence
safely guide you through this light, we
know victory will be painted upon your
banners. Then return to your homes, ami
we, as brave Southern boys, will receive
you with open arms, admiring you more,
loving you better, for bravery’s sake, for
honor’s sake, and at last, but not least,
for victory’s sake. Ell A. Gee.-

NOBODY CLAIM ED THE PAPER
& Rebuke by General Washington That
Evidently Frightened the Owner.
Major William Pierce left behind
him a partial record of the debates in
Philadelphia which supplement those
of Madison, Yates and King; also the
following anecdote:
When the convention first opened at
Philadelphia, there were a number of
propositions brought forward as great
leading principles for tho new govern
ment to be established for the United
States. A copy of these propositions was
given to each member, with an injunc
tion to keep everything a profound se
cret. One morning, Ijy accident, one of
tho members dropped his copy of the
propositions, which, being luckily pick
ed up by General Mililin, was presented
to General Washington, our president,
who put it in his pocket. After the de
bates of the day were over and the ques
tion for adjournment was called for the
geuer: 1 arose from his si-at and, pruvi
ous to his putting the question, address
ed the coiiveiiciun in the following man
ner:
“Gentlemen, I am sorry to find that
»ome one member of this body has been
eu neglectful of the secrets of the con
vention as to drop in the statehouse a
copy of their proceedings, which by ac
cident was picked up and delivered to
me this morning. 1 must entreat gen
tlemen to Le more careful, lest our
transactions get into th ? newspapers and
disturb the public rubs by jirematuie
speculations, i know not whose pa pel
it is. but there it is (throwing it down
on the table). Let him who owns it takt
it.” At the same time he bowed, picker,
up his hat and quitted the room with a
dignity so severe that every person
see med alarmed. For my part, I was
extremely so, for, putting my band in
my pocket, I missed my copy of the
same paper, but, advancing up to the
table, my fears soon dissipated. I found
it to be the handwriting of another per
son. When I went to my lodgings at
the Indian Queen, I found my copy in a
coat ptxiket which I had pulled off that
morning. It is sometjiing remarkable
that no person ever owned the puper.—
