THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
SHERMAN’S ESCORT
ORDERED TO FORT
Indignation Caused by March tc
The Sea.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ACTS
Orders Direct From the White House
Calls Federal Officers Back and
Father Sherman Must Proceed on
March to Sea Alone.
Washington. May 2—The president
011 Tuesday night directed the cur
tailment of the movement of the
Twelfth calvary as escort to Rev. Rath
er i'homas S. Sherman, son of Gener
al Sherman, on the march over part
of the line of General Sherman’s fa
mous march to the sea. Instead, the
trip may be made from Fort Ogle
thorpe, as far as Resaca, which is
within about 50 miles of Fort Ogle
thorpe, wh&n file cavalry detachment
is to return to the latter place.
Orders to this effect were given
Tuesday night following the receipt of
a long dispatch from Brigadier Gener
al Duvall, commanding the depart
ment of the gulf, by whose authority
the detachment was ordered to ac
company Father Sherman, and a con
ference on the subject between Pres
ident Roosevelt and General Bell, chief
of staff of the army.
Oeneral J. Franklin Bell, chief of
staff of the army, in speaking of the
incident, said:
"The fields of engagements fought
by the armies of General Sherman and
General Johnston along the route pur
sued by these armies between Chat
tanooga and Atlanta are favorite
places of study of army officers be
cause the strategic and tactics in
volved in the operations of Sherman
and Johnston's armies are considered
among the best examples of the art of
war afforded by our civil war. This
is not the first time parties of offl
cers and men have gone over this
route.”
‘‘Do these escorts go for the pur
pose of guarding officers?” was asked.
“Under such circumstances as
these," General Bell replied, “escorts
go merely for the purpose of facil
itating the journey, . caring for the
horses, etc.
“Recently, an order was issued by
the war department requiring practice
marches to be made through the coun
try, some of them to last one day,
some three days, and every post was
required to have at least one march
which should last a minimum of 21
days. Under the provisions of this or
der, either a department or a post
commander can send out parties of
this kind on such marches. It has,
therefore, become quite the customary
thing. No one could ever anticipate
that misapprehension or feeling would
arise over permitting Father Sherman
to acompany such a detachment, a
courtesy which would hmave been ex
tended to any distinguished person un
der similar circumstances.”
The president had a conference on
the subject with General Bell, chief
of staff. General Bell took General
Duvall’s report to the white house and
after the conference the following dis
patch, which restricts the distance
which the escort is to go, was sent to
General Duvall:
“White House, Washington, May 1.
—General Duvall, Commanding the De
partment of the Gulf, Atlanta: “ In
view of the miapprehension seemingly
caused by the terms employed in your
order, the president deems it best,
after the detachment of the Twelfth
cavalry has gone as far as Resaca
and visited the intervening field of
the engagement at Dalton, the offi
cers and men composing the detach
ment shall return to Fort Oglethorpe,
which he directs be done.
“Ainsworth. Military Secretary.”

groes on the turpentine farm of West

as can be expected under the circum

garbage accumulation will- be disposed
of. An Inspection of the reduction
works in the Potrero has been made,
and is was reported that outside oi
the 100 feet of the tall chimneys, re
pairs to the furnaces can be complet
ed in ten days.
Men were set to work Tuesday on
the repairs and soon there will be a
good force at w r ork. As soon as these
repairs are made, all refuse will be
incinerated as in the past.
Mayor Schmitz has announced that
all-time restrictions as to the light

Every chimney in every building
will be inspected before any fires are
made Indoors. The reports turned
-over to the board of fire underwrit
ers, the members of which will make a
re-inspection of buildings, are about as
expected.
Nearly all the chimneys in the hills
are found to be slightly damaged,
but those In the ‘‘made” ground are
unfit for use.
Many of the larger factories left un
harmed are starting up work with all
the rapidity possible under the circum
stances. At the Union Iron works
300 men are now employed and the
management expects within a lortnigh
to have the complement of its
force, nearly 4,ooo'"men","engaged.

FIGHT MAY HAVE FATAL RESULT
Alleged Twitty’s Skull Was Fractured
By Dorsey’s Blows.
Gainesville, Ga., May 2. —A fight be
tween John Tucker Dorsey and Cur
tis Twitty, which occurred Sunday
morning, and which was not regarded
at first more than a slight difficulty, is
about to terminate very seriously.
Twitty is unconscious from a frac
ture of the skull at the base of the
brain, with but little chance of re
covery.
Dorsey is at large, and a warrant
has been sworn out against him and
placed in the hands of Sheriff Crow,
charging him with assault with intent
to murder. Dorsey is a son of the
late Colonel J. N. Dorsey, while Twit
ty is a son of J. N. Twitty, of Twitty
bill fame. The seriousness of the af
fray was not known until Tuesday, the
matter having been kept very quiet.
The prominence of the families of the
young men lends additional interest to
the unfortunate affair.
Dorsey is alleged to have inflicted
the injuries on Twitty with a stick,
knocking his teeth out and fracturing
his skull. The difficulty oeurred on
the outskirts of the city at an early
hour Sunday morning.

House Stands for Freer, Seed.

and flower seeds. Many of the items
in the agricultural bill broadening the
scope of the bureau of chemistry and
Dr. Wiley’s department were eliminat
ed on points of order, particularly
those relating to the adulteration of
food condiments, drugs and beverages.
How to Rest.
To understand how to rest is of more
Importance than to know how to work.
The latter can be learned easily. The
fonMfr it takes years to learn, and some
people never learn the art of resting.
It is simply a change of scenes and ac
tivities. Loafing may not bo resting;
sleeping is not always resting; sitting
down for days, with nothing to do, Is
not restful. A change is needed to
bring into play a different set of facul
ties and to turn the life into a new
channel. The man who works hard
finds his best rest In playing hard; the
man who is burdened with care finds
relief in something that is active, yet
free from responsibility. Above all,
keep good natured and don’t abuse
your best friend, the stomach.
Hospitality.
Dumas, the elder, bad a dog as hos
pitable as his master, and this dog
once invited twelve others to Monte
■Cristo, Dumas’ palace, named after his
famous novel. Dumas’ factotum in
chief wished to drive off the whole
pack.
“Michael,” said the great romancer,
“I have a social position to sustain. It
entails a fixed amount of trouble and
expense. Y«u say that I have thirteen
sdogs and that they are eating me out
of house and home. Thirteen! What an
(unlucky number”
“Monsieur—if you will permit—there
Is but one thing left to do. I must
/drive them all away.”
“Never, Michael!” replied Dumas.
■“Never! Go at once and find me a

preparing to begin work next week.
The $6,000,000 figure on buildings is
only for improvements, the whole fig

The iron workers insist on a wage
of $5 a day for 8 hours’ work. The
contractors’ offer of $4.60 for foui
months and $4.80 for the rest of the
coming year, was rejected.
Aside from affecting directly four

several thousand other building work

hod carriers and stone cutters.

to $24.75. At the strike headquar
ters it was said that 150 of 240 em
ployers had already conceded the
terms proposed.
The carpenters in Queensborough
struck last month for an increase in
wages from $3.50 to $4.
The carpenters on Staten Island
also made the same demands, to go
into effect Monday.
The Bronx carpenters also struck,
but it did not last long, as before the

granted the demands.
The Queens carpenters had returned
to work, but as soon as they heard
that the Brooklyn carpenters were out,
