COMPLETED AT LAST.
AFTER TWENTY YEARS.
The Battle Flag or the Firth Cqorgta Reg
iment.
At the reunion of the Fifth Georgia Reg-
iment in Macon, August 21st and 22ud,
there will be presented to the surviving
members the battle flag that floated above
the brave men throughout the battles of
Tennessee and through Georgia to South
Carolina.
Like many other battle flags, it has a
history, anu when the veterans behold it
once more, what a flood of old associations
will tush to mind!
It is in the possession ot Captain L. C.
Young, now a conductor on the fast train
running from Macon to Waycross. He
was a private in the Fifty-sixth New York
regiment in the department of the South
uuder General Foster. Yesterday after
noon our reporter found him at his room,
with his family, at the Edgerton Hotel,
and was shown the flag that he has so
carefully preserved these twenty years. It
has a few holes In it made by hissing
bullets, otherwise it is in as good condition
as when taken from the battlefield.
How he came in poaaeaaion of the flog
was thus related to us by Captain Young:
“It was not until the latter part of Novem
ber. 1884, that our troops were able to ef
fect a landing on the main land of South
Carolina. The main land was so well for
tified that we occupied tbe islands. Our
purpose was to destroy the South Caro
lina railroad, and thus prevent General
Jones, who was in Charleston, from rein
forcing General Hardee. On November
Oth, the battle of Fort Coosabatchie was
fought. Wo were then thirty miles from
Savannah, on the South Carolina
side. The light began about noon
and was kept up until latein the afternoon,
the loss being heavy on both sides. It was
in this fight that the flag was captured,
and no flag was ever more nobly defended.
We were immediately in front of the Fifth
Georgia, who were supported on one flank
ihe gubernatorial convention, and that tbe
delegates be nominated and voted for in
thlshall.
Mr. W. A. Poe moved that there be six
delegates and six alternates.
Mr. Dessau moved that there be twelve
delegates and no alternates.
Alter some discussion, the motion to
elect twelve delegates was carried.
Captain W. \v. Carnes called attention
to Mr. Wilson's motion to select from tbe
hall. Discussion followed, and a motion
to reconsider Mr. Wilson’s motion and
elect by ballot was carried.
Mr. Dessau then read the following list
of names of those selected as delegates:
W. A. Lofton, R. A. Nisbet, Thomas Wil
lingham, W. U. Phillips, W. H, Ross,

by strategic movement, overlapping their
left. It was at this juncture that the flag
was taken. Five times its bearer was
shot down, but the flag never touched
the ground. As fast as one man was shot
down another leapt forward and took his
place. Its heroic defense evoked our most
ardent admiration, and to capture such a
flag was the ambition of our men. The foot
of tho last man to hold it aloft was shat
tered, and as he fell there was none to
raise the colors. The retreat had been
sounded and tbe men were pushing to the
rear. When our regiment reached the
sitot there was a rush for
the flag. A fellow soldier was
ahead of me and secured the trophy,
but it soon (ell into my possession, and I
have treasured it twenty years with but
one obiect, and that was to restore it to
the gallant band that fought under it on

lett, Dr. R. M. Patterson, W. It. Rogers,
George 8. Jones, W. W. Carnes, T. U.Con-
er, W. B. Hill and others, all declining.
Judge It. F. Lyon moved that tbe dele-
ites bo Instructed to support R. U. Har-
leman for treasurer. He was seconded by
Judge McManus.
Mr. Wilson wanted the delegates to go
uninstructed.
Judge McManus wanted the delegates to
support Judge Clifford Anderson, and oth
ers as well.
Mr. Dessau said that by resolution ot
previous meetings this meeting was bound
not to Instruct delegates, and he therefore
wanted the word “Instruct” stricken from
the resolution and the word “recommend"
substituted therefor.
Mr. B, C. Smith thought they should be
uninstructed as to all officers.
Colonel Thomas Hardeman hoped that
nothing would be said about instructions.
He wanted all indorsed.
Mr. W. A. Poe thought the people of
Bibb should only instruct their delegates
for Bibb county men.
The motion to indorse R. U. Hardeman
for treasurer was carried.
Mr. W. B. Hill offered the foil owing res
olution, which was adopted:
"Ilctohetl by the Demoerateaf Bibb eouutu
in contention attembled, That the able and
efficient discharge ot the duties of the office
ot attorney-general by Hon. Clifford
Anderson awakens a just pride amoni
his fellow citizens of this county, am
we feel assured that by his continu
ance in that office the legal interests
of the State will be safely and wisely
S arded. We therefore recommend that
e delegates from this county present his
name to the convention and support him
for that office."
Mr. R. W. Patterson introduced the

An Old Professional Laments the De

“Professional gamblers of high and
low degree never were in as tight lines
as they are now, and unless tho tide
soon turns in their favor they will bo
forced to abandon the green cloth and
seek other avocations to secure even
the necessaries of life.”
The speaker was a veteran gambler,
an intelligent Englishman, known as
“Reddy,” witli probably as mauy

Discussion followed the reading of the
resolution, which was finally adopted.
Mr. J. A. Hall moved to reconsider the
motion to elect delegates by ballot, and
elect them by acclamation. The motion
was lost.
The balloting proceeded: Before the
ballots were counted a motion was carried
to place the counting in the hands of a
committee with Captain Carnes as chair
man, that the meeting couldproceed with
other business. Messrs. Carnes. Felix
Camp and J. W. Blount .were appointed,
and the committee retired.
Mr. Poe moved that the chair appoint

tion.

0u of the pet schemes of the late Col.

railroad,jwas the completion of a stretch of
railroad from Vicksburg to Shreveport,
thick would form a connecting link be
tween the cotton of Texas and porta of
Ssiumsh snd Charleston.
Ynzssgo Colonel Wailley went to Louis-
I isos snd with capitalists of Savannah, and
I injected the road between Vicksburg

I were completcted and thou along litigation

other relics of the war and was viewed by
thousands of people. My command de*
sired that I should return it to the Fifth
Georgia, and I am glad
that this approaching reunion is a most
fitting time to do so. 1 have been in the
railroad service since the war, and came
8outh last October because o( being a great
sufferer from rheumatism. 1 have found
since nty residence in the South the same
good feeling between the toldiera of the
blue and gray that I found in the army. I
have often talked across dividing rivers
during the war in the friendliest terms witli
the boys in gray and exchanged tobacco
and coffee with them, and yet we fougbt
each other on the battlefield."
The restoration of the flag will be a
source of great pleasure to the members of
the regiment There are only four mem-
ben living in Macon—Messrs. D. B. Jones,
George W. Burr, Thomas J. Burney and
Thomas E. White. The companies form
ing the regiment came from places on the
line ot the Central railroad and its
branches, and as low rates have been gty-
en by the railroads, there will no doubt be
tuft attendance ol the old members.
Mr. George W. Burr was in the fight al
luded toby Capt. Young. Hewell remem

ght against two brigades of the enemy,
here were only twenty-five men near the

THE STATE FAIR.
is to have tlie odds immeasurably in
his favor. He is an adept in dealing a
brace game of faro, or in swindling at
short cards, but the height of his am
bition is to transfer an innocent man’s
money into his own pocket by means
of some confidence game. In tlie last-
named role he may he classed as an
Xpert.
“I have just returned to the bay,”
continued tlie disconsolate sport, “alter
a two years’ professional tour, playing
brief engagements at all the leading
sporting centres in the country. I had
hoped to find thtogs booming in San
Francisco; but tho hope was sadly
blasted, for I find more broken gam
blers here than I found in any other city.
High rollers who only a few years ago
squandered their hundreds weekly are
now glad to capture enough money to
lodge in a twenty-five-cent room and
subsist on a beer lunch. Where one
gambler is in funds, fully ninety-nine
are in distress.”
“How did you find the situation at
other points?” asked the reporter.
“With very few exceptions, just as
bad for the fraternity. About two
months ago I made a tour on the North
ern Pacific road. From St. Paul to
Helena I did not find a single place
where tho gambler could make any
money. At Helena and Butte there is
considerable sport, but controlled by a
few men. Then I went into the Coeur
d’Alene mining region in company with
several other sports, and found that
country a dead fraud; there were ac
tually more gamblers there tliandollars,
and our party had a tough time to get
outol the infernal country. I visit
ed all tho leading points in
Oregon and Washington Territory
only to find ‘business’ dull everywhere.
At Portland there are several lively
faro games played wide open, but tbe
limit is so small that an outsider can’*
make a winning of any size. Then 1
took a steamer for 'Frisco, expecting to
make some money on the passage.'
Again 1 was disappointed. The only
gambling on board was at whist—a
quarter a comer for the rubber. The
degeneracy of the times actually made
me sick, and I took to my berth and

A Correspondent Offers n Suggestion to
the Management.
Editor! Telegraph and Urteengtr: At the
meeting of ths Georgia Pfhst Association
to Atlanta Wednesday, the 23d, Mr. Trip
lett, of the Tbomaivliie Timet, offered a
resolution, which was unanimously adopt
ed, pledging the membera, individually and
collectively, to "hearty co-operation with
the officers of the 8tate fair to working up
an exhibit which shall prove an honor to
the State, demonstrating to the thousands
who will be to attendance what Georgia is
in tbe quantity end diversity of her pro
ducts end reaourcee."
The following resolution, offered by Mr.
W. K. Mumford, waa adopted :
"Retolctd, That this association deeply
regrets that tbe State of Georgia Hands
singly end alone among the Southern
States without an appropriation to aid In
making an exhibit ot her vast and varied
products at the coming World's Cotton
Exposition at New Qrieaa*’’
“Retolrtd, Thetas the only opportunitr
we have ot making such an exhibit la
through tbe indiridual efforts ot our citi
zens, we, ts membera of this association,
ptadge our personal and editorial influence
to the aid oftbe State, district and county
eommlaiionera of the New Orleans expo
sition, doing all to oar power to make the
exposition of our resources at New Orleans
a r,iad BUCceM. believing that such a re
sult would add to the reputation and stand
ing of our beloved commonwealth.”
i eleo see by the pnblic print* that Gen
eral Superintendent Burke ha* advised the
commUsloners to tbe different States that
tbe lund donated by Congress to the 8tata*
is ready for distribution, and now the
question i*. la not this the golden oppor
tunity for the officers of the! air end State
Agricultural Society tolnaugurata a move
ment that will secure to our State the
greatest exhibition alia bzaever had? This
can be done it those who have tbe manage
ment of die fair will at once eecure the
consent and co-operation of the exposition
commissioner! to have Macon set apart as
tbs depot for collecting together Georgia a
exhibit for New Orleen*. The exhibition
could first be made at our own State fair
and then forwarded in bulk to the W orld i
Exposition at New Orleans.

ono to run a gambling game within the
limits of the State. The same severe
law is in forco in Tennessee, and the
chances are that just such a law will
be enacted in most of the States inside
of the next few years. And when this
change comes about there will be an
end to professional gambling, for even
the bravest gamester will throw up his
hands if he sees that the doors of the
penitentiary are yawning for him. On
: ho Mississippi river, once noted for its
heavy games, there is very little pisv,
and on most of the boats gambling is
positively prohibited. In Chicago,
where the heaviest games of faro have
lteen played of late, the mayor has an
nounced his firm determination to shut
up every house, and of course he can
accompUrth the task if he means busi
ness. in New York city gambling is
under the ban, although faro games
are constantly run on tho sly. In
Philadelphia there has been very little
gambling for years, andst Washington
only a few faro games, and skin ones at
that are under headway. Boston and

New England patronised by profession
al gamesters, and at both tlie betting

gambling is licensed, and in Ihe winter
