have been made by Waiters McGill, tale

“Atlanta, Ga., July 22, 1898.—Mrs. \\ . V.
Atkinson. Dear Mrs. Atkinson: Several
matters have come to my immediate at
tention during the last few days which
make me feel like emphasizing more
strongly the need of having your organi
zation work through some representative
who is on the ground, if the Georgia boys
are to get the benefit of what you arc
do.ng. Permit me to mention a few fa s:
“Seven hundred dollars was sent in ■ ash
to one of tlic chaplains of our regiment
now on the fit-id. The chaplain six-nt the
money to have a good time himself and
was court niartialed and dishonorably
discharged.
"’I wo quartermasters were dishonora
bly discharged and drummed out of r amp
at Cblekamauga for using money sent to
(hem for the benefit of the soldiers.
“A sum of money sent to Tampa wis
used for a wine supper.
' One young man stated the other day
that he had spent S3OO for fun which had
been sent to him by anxious friends.
“Two others had spent $M> each, aril
three- $L each.
“A Christian mother told me she had
sent fit) to her boy, which was used up in
one week. She asked whai had been done
with it. and he told her be had played
poker.
"The only place the men can spend mon
ey when it reaches them is in gambling in
the army saloon
“The officers of our Georgia Regiments
have expressed very earnestly their desire
to have no money sent direct to men.
' 1 could mention scores of facts whl’h
have c-ome to inv notice in connection wiiii
my work in the camps just like the- above.
“These, however, are sufficient to em
phasize the point i wish to make.
•’lf your organization thinks last to turn
over any funds to us for the lient tit of the
Georgia boys, they can lie sent direct to
the First R< giment to Henry M. Johnson,
cafe First Georgia Regiment, I.ytle, Ga.,
for ♦he Second Regiment tot'. P. Younts,
tare Second Georgia Regiment. Tampa,
Fla. and for me men at Fort McPherson,
to W C Nt.intr.iacher, treasurer, ca-e
Yo mg Men's Christian Association. At

prosecution of the work at those various
points, and v.ill appreciate any co-opera

The Accident Hue to Hi* Mistake In
Heading n Signal.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 2.—The wreck on the
Central Railroad has been cleared away,
and all trains were able to pass to-day.
Engineer Wallace, who was In charge of
the soldiers train, died to-day.
The accident was caused hy a mistake
in reading tlie signals on the part of Wal
lace. His train had been made up and was
ready io start toward the city. The ojier
atoi at the station opposite the post sig
nalled Green that the track was clear.
Wallace was on his engine not fiO feet
from tfle depot and the signal station.
How he could have made the fatul mistake
seems a mystery.
Green was In charge of a regular through
train, and Was going to Macon. Two hun
dred yards above the signal station there
Is a curve in the track and a cut deep
enough to obstruct the view. The instant a
tra.n comes out of this cut an engineer
can see without ,any difficulty the signals
al the station. When Green's engine came
out of this cut he looked for the signal
a.ai saw that it was white. This told him
the track was clear, and without checking
lot speed of his train tie went straight
abend. At the same nine Wallace started
Ids engine and pulled oft of Hie side track,
that runs into Hie post on the main line.
He i all Ills engine out just far enough to
obstruct tlie way.

Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. 2.—To-morrow
will be a busy day for the First Georgia,
as the regiment is to move camp. It will
strike tents bright and early ill the morn
ing and pitch them a half mile north, by
the north tower.
To-day the regiment received Its pay
roll blanks, and will make them out at
onee. Tlie muster rolls have already been
made out.
The boys were all greatly disappointed
because they were, not privileged to enjoy
the iruit that T. S. Lowry had planned to
send them. He had already shipped a
load of watermelons and had a car iced to
be loaded with peaches, when he was no
tified by Col. Lawton that regulations
forbade the acceptance of this kindness.
Another First Georgia wedding occurred
to-day. Corpl. Sullivan, Company L, and
Miss Madaline Jennet ic were married at
Blue Springs, five miles east of tlie Park,
Sergt. O’Hare, Company L, acting as best
man. The bride came all the way from
Grillln to join her lover.
The treats are on Sergt. T. M. Nelson,
Company C. He went to Chattanooga wrlth
another First Georgia boy and Hie two
went into a barber shop for a shave. Each
left his poncho, saying he would call for it
later. When Sergt. Nelson called at the
shop for his poncho the barber told him
his friend had called for both ponchos. Ar
riving at camp his friend surprised him by
asking for his poncho, saying the barber
had stated that Sergt. Nelson had called
for both. If two strange ponchos are seen
wandering about tne vicinity of Savannah
their arrest is duly authorized.
Kavanaiigh and Neve are cooks for

Corpls. McMeehan and 'Smith and Pri

EXPRESS COMPANY MUST PAY.
On tlie Other Hnml Western Union
Need Not Affix Stamp*.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 2.—The patrons of
the Southern Express' Company in Geor
gia will not in the future be required to
pay for the revenue stamps affixed to the
bills of lading issued by the company.
The senders of messages over the West
ern Union Telegraph Company will con
tinue to pay the 1 cent war tax.
The Georgia Railroad Commission de
cided the two coses in reference to the
express and telegraph companies to-day.
The decision was against the former, but
favorable to the latter.
Able and elaborate opinions were ren
dered in each case by Judge Spencer R.
Atkinson on behalf of the commission. It
was hold that the express company in
Issuing a bill of lading was required to
put a stamp upon it in order to make it
legal, and that the company had no right
to ask the cost o£ the stamp from the
shippe r.
The commission takes the position that
by requiring the one cent tax to Ik- paid
by the shipper the express company is in
principle as much guilty of an overcharge
as if ii exacted SIOO in each case.
In the case of (he Western Union Tcle
graph Company the commission held that
the company was not required to receive
a message until it was stamped. It does
nol become a legal message until the
sender puts the revenue stamp upon It.
Both decisions were liannded down by
Judge- Spencer R. Atkinson.
No suits will be commenced against the
Southern Express Company for past vio
lations, as considerable doubt existed as
to the proper construction of the law.
Judge Atkinson gives it as his opinion
that under the act of Congress a tele
graph company is required to affix a
stamp to every message before delivering
it. He states, however, that this is a
question lie!ween the federal government
and tlie telegraph company, and one which
does not concern the railroad commission.

TWO DEATHS AT ALG I STA.
Charles B. Rcnvi* and Carroll Crlteh
low I'nss Away.
Augusta, Ga., Aug. 2.—'Augusta had two
deaths to-day, both of young men who
had come from tlie West and made Au
gusta their home.
diaries B. Kcavls, auditor of the Au
gusta Electric Railway Company, was
brought here by Col. D. B. Dyer from
Kansas City six years ago, and had be
come a popular citizen. He was a promi
nent Mason and Elk, and took an active
part in the Merrymakers’ Association, and
every public enterprise. On Friday he was
taken ill, ami this morning died at the city
hospital of acute kidney troubles. His wife
was on a visit to relatives in Kansas City
and was telegraphed for when it was
found liow extreme Mr. Reavis' illness
was, but she could not reach here until to
morrow. Mr. Reavls was 36 years old, and
the picture of physical health and strength.
His sudden death is a shock to the entire
community.
Another sad death Is that of Carroll
Critchlow. He and his brother, AA’. G.
Critchlow, are well known in bicycle cir
cles. The latter rode in Atlanta’s last
road race and both rode at Macon and
Mllledgeville. The deceased was an ex
pert rider and an expert machinist and
was employed in the bicycle shops of
Thomas & Barton. Yesterday Carroll
Critchlow complained of feeling badly and
went to his room. He took quinine and
laudanum alternately in small doses and
it is supposed that the accumulated lau
danum in his system from doses repeated
too often, overcame him, or else during
the night in a dosing condition be reach
ed for the medicine, which was at his bed
side, and took an overdose by accident.
About daylight his brother was aroused
by his steritorous breathing and found him
unconscious. A doctor was summoned
and every effort was made to resuscitate
him, but in vain. He died in a few hours.
