here, occupied Tuesday with a lengthy
dJacoaalon of the advantages of more

determination of continuing the work
of eliminating the manipulator and re
ducing the cost of the transportation

of American bales as compared to

in a short space of time and asked that
the growers be allowed to spread this
work over a long period.

ily welcoming the idea of a close
union with the American growers, de
clared they could not afford to lesson
their efforts to extend the area of cot
ton planting In all parts of the world,

That Delegation l
z Where Do I Stand?

♦
-H-H-l-H
(By JAMES CALLAWAY.)
It is well known that the Confederate
authorities, during the summer of IS64,
sent a delegation of four or more Fed
eral soldiers from the prison at Ander-
sonville to Warrington, D. C„ to plead
the cause of the prisoners and to pre
vail on the authorities at Washington
to co-operate with the South in alle
viating prison conditions.
It has been the understanding tfhat
this delegation returned and reported
absolute failure.
Now. Mr. Ira E. Forbes, of Hart
ford. Conn., who was a prisoner at
Andersonville, and who Is writing
history of the' prison, in a letter to me
says this delegation never returned.
He writes:
“The information whicto you want
about the delegation that was sent to
Washington from Andersonville prison,
together with a full report of the meet
ing of sergeants Inside the stockade,
will be found in the Government re
ports of Civil War operations. It will
be found in t'he case you ask about in
Series I., Vol. VII., Prisoners of War,
page 615 et al. serial number 120.
The officers signing the document
in Charleston prison intended for the
President were Gen. George Stoneman,
Col. T. J. Harrison,Eighth Indiana
cavalry and Col. J. B. Dorr, Eighth
Iowa cavalry. This document was re
ceived at Hilton Head, S. C., August
17, 1864, from the hands of private
Tracey, Eighty-second New York
“The names of the. four delegates
who made their way to Washington
are Edward Bates, Company K, Forty-
second New York, chairman; H. C.
Higginson. Company K. Nineteenth
Illinois; Prescott Tracey, Company ‘G,
Eighty-seoond New York, and Sylves
ter Noirot, Company B, Fifth New
Jersey infantry. There were two otter
men, William N. Johnson and F. Gar
land, who must have dropped out on
tiie way.
’’The four men who went to Washing'
ton did not return to Andersonville,
but were declared exchanged Septem
ber 22, 1864. They made use of their
opportunitiees to misrepresent and
malign the Confederate officers at An
dersonville.” .
Thus writes Ira E. Forbes, color

ther says
"I was a prisoner in the stockade
from May 3, 1864. until the middle of
September, when I was sent to Flor

WASHINGTON, May 26.—I am go
ing to do a foolish thing, but in my
present temper I am persuaded that
the game is worth the candle. I am
only one of a score or more of literary
peons who have had transactions with
a certain Delaware corporation, and
that makes the thing somewhat gen
eral as well as particular. 'Besides,
many of my friends have urged me to
tell my side of the case, and in addi
tion to that, I have been dared to do
it. So, here goes.
I had written certain matter that
was printed in certain newspaper*,
and that it was not difficult to per
suade me would serve to make a book.
In 1903. late In the fall season, I was
introduced to Mr. Waiter Neaie. and
some five minutes thereafter he agreed
to print the book and put it on the
market before the expiration of the
first session of the Fifty-eighth Con
gress. There was no detail of the
contract discussed except that I should
he allowed more than the usual royalty
as to my share of the profits of the
venture to promote which I was to be
at no pecuniary expense whatever, and
to no trouble except to supply the copy
and read the proof. I did not then
know, nor did I care, anything about
the profit, whether it turned out a
royalty or a beggarty. Vanity was
what was the matter with me. but I
had no intention to pay any money for
the gratification of my Vanity, as I
subequently did.
This Walter Neale was president of
a Delaware corporation. When all the
copy was in the printer’s -hands, Neale
shoved a contract over to me and I
signed it. He had left me the right
to write the book, and I might have
.put in a chapter on the Prophet Moses,
or Julius Caesar, or Prester John had
I seen fit. I left it to him to make the
contract, and he availed himself of the
privilege, reserving to himself 95 per
cent of the property and yielding to me
5 per cent. I did not object to that,
and do not now. 1 was to have 10 per
cent on the gross proceeds of the sec
ond 500 copies, and 15 per cent on all
sold exceeding 1.000.
There was delay after delay. The
corporation, through it president, made
all sorts of excuses, such as that the
making of a book was a growth, when
everybody knows that job printing is
a mechanical job, just like shoemaking,
except that one is performed by i
type-setter and the other by a shoe
pegger. The book did not appear until
the first session of the Fifty-eighth
Congress was long expired.
■One day I suggested that the book
ought to be illustrated; that pictures
SPRINGFIELD BULLET
•WASHINGTON, May 29.—Captain
E. Ely, of the 26tli Infantry, who qual
ified before the Penrose courtmartial
as an expert in the use of army rifles
and ammunition testified today before
the Senate committee on military af
fairs, which is investigating the
Brownsville affray. He explained the
manner ot cleaning the Springfield
rifles and gave It as his opinion that
the rifles could be cleaned in'a minute
or two and that the darkness made
no difference. After testifying that
there was a marked difference between
the Krag bullet and the Springfield
bullet. Captain Ely was shown one of
each by Senator Foraker. The Sen
ator held the shells in his hand, the
same as he had done yesterday when
Major Blocksont was on the stand, and
like Major Blocksom, the witness
picked a Krag when asked to desig
nate the Springfield.
Wm. Henry Adams, who drives an
ice wagon in Brownsville, testified that
he heard Voschel, the corral boss at
the garrison, say that the negroes
would come out after pay day and
“shoot up” the town. He gave cor
roborative testimony on several other
points.
The committee decided to postpone
the recall of Major Blocsom and Lieut,
Leckie, until June 14th. and at 1 o’clock
an adjournment was taken until that
time.

ATHENS. Ga., May 29.—The next
session of the Georgia League of Mu
nicipalities will be held In the city of
Albany, that place having been chosen
over Columbus, and the choice then
made unanimous on motion of Mayor
Chappell, of Columbus. The date of
the convention will he named later.
The featu'C of the session today
was the taddress of Congressman
Thomas W. Hairdwick, who spoke of
the increasing tendency of the negroes
to go to the cities of the States and
the consequent menace to good order.
He declared that he only solution of
the trouble lay in the prohibition of
the sale of liquor to negroes anywhere
in Georgia and that he hoped to see
the Legislature pass a law to that ef
fect. Mr. Hardwick received a ris
ing vote of thanks for his address and
it was ordered printed at once for
distribution.
Mr. John A. Betjeman made an ad
dress on foreign immigration that was
so forceful that the following resolu
tion was passed, being introduced by
Recorder E. G. Cabaniss. of Macon;
Resolved, that we, the mayors of
Georgia, in convention assembled, re
cognizing the need for more common
labor and more settlers in Georgia,
do endorse the earnest and careful
work which the Georgia immigration
ssociation is doing in securing de-
irable immigrants, and to urge that
the State direct and control this work
fo- the future.”
The following resolution was passed,
being introduced by Mayor Cheatham,
of Sandersville:
of Connecticut in October in memory
of the men from this State who died in
the prison. The number wtoo died
from Connecticut regiments is 313. Of
that number 93 were from my regi
ment, the Sixteenth Connecticut.
"My history will be an impassioned
study of the life at Andersonville at
a distance of 43 Yfears. I am anxious
to secure all the facts I can. especially
in regard to the experiences of Con
federates outside of the prison.*
Mr. Ira Forbes Is anxious to get the
datqs of the marching of the different
batches of prisoners from Anderson
ville to Jacksonville. They were moved
at different times—perhaps March.
February, and the last in April. 1865.
Were there two delegations? Did
not one return and report their failure
before the Lincoln Cabinet?
And who remembers about the dif
ferent removals of prisoners—i.
marches from Andersonville to Jack
sonville in 1865?
As to Corey.
To the Editor of The Telegraph:
The Telegraph is correct. Corey and
not charity should be the recipient of
I the marriage if the minister perform-
' ing the ceremony is trulv repentant.
See Deuteronomy, 23d chapter. 18th
verse. But admitting that Corey is
guilty of all alleged against him. the
men who employ him—I believe he is
pre-sideftt of the Steel Trust—are
equally guilty with ' him and respon
sible for his evil influence. And ail of

be put in it—seventeen of them. Neale
refused, alleging as a reason that he
had put all the money on the book he
was willing to risk: but toe agreed to
what everybody else who ever saw the
book knows, that the pictures would
add enormously to the salable value
of the book. He then, in reply to roy
question, represented that the pic
tures would cost $10 each. I then
agreed to pay for ten pictures if he
would pay for the others; hut it was
on the • express and positive under
standing between us, then and there

tion got its money back for putting the
book on the counter, I was to have the

$50. S25. $25 and $20.
Nobody can escape that conclusion,
unless he shall first agree that I am
too big a fool to contract. I am told
by gentlemen learned in the law that
the vital principle of a contract is
consideration. What consideration did
I get for the money I put in the enter
prise? Neale says I got pictures in
my book. My book! Where is it?
Show me the color of it! It’s Neale’s
book. He’s got it. He deliberately
allowed me to give his corporation
$120 in cash, when it was positively
understood that it was not a present,
but an investment I was making. And
then he sued me for the other five pic
tures, got judgment against me for
them, and got the money, top. It
turned out. however, that the pictures
cost but $8 each, though I supposed
they had cost S10 each until the law

I supposed the issue between us was
whether I had as much right to get
back the money I had advanced to the
enterprise as Neale had to get return
of tois money. He did get tots money
back, and his excuse for not allowing
me a whack was that the pictures not
only added no value to the book, hut
ehtailed on him additional trouble, de
lay and expense. What a wonderful
business man he is! According to his
own story, he suffered me to part with
more money that I could conveniently
afford—the small savings of daily toil
—-to embellish his property. wh4a it
added ho value to that property and
embarrassed him with more trouble
and additional cost! That is bad hus
bandry, and if Mr. Neale shall persist
in it—make it a constant practice—I
greatly fear a time will come in his
affairs when an assignee in bankruptcy
will take charge of his assets.. No
shrewd business man would allow a
prodigal to tinker with, his property
unless the act enhanced the value o'f
the property; but Neale says be let me
embellish his hook when it put him
to more cost and added no valtje to the
property.
An eminent Englishman of literary
genius said that in a litligation be
tween publisher and author a court
should view the man of letters as a
ward in chancery and the man of types
as a designing guardian. If I -was fool

says he entered upon with me. It was
about time for the orphans’ court to
hunt me up and put me in charge of
somebody who will see to it that I
come in out of the rain. It is notorious
that men who print books die rich, and
the men who write books die poor, and
it is not improbable that observation
of that fact led Dean Swift to remark
that God Almighty showed contempt
for wealth by the men he allowed to
accumulate it. If this Delaware cor
poration only gets hold of enough of
fellows like me it will have little
trouble in keeping out of the fire. The
royalties Neale tendered me did not
extinguish the interest of the money
1 put in the book. I received in addi
tion twenty conies gratis, the custom
ary courtesy, I believe, to an author.

Says Socialism Needs an Alias.
“The Interpreter” says Of Socialism
in the June American Magazine:
“What Socialism needs in America
more than anything else, is an alias.
"Last month a Philadelphia news
paper proclaimed a creed which was
merely a practical application of the
Golden Rule in neighborly relations,
but in subscribing to it the paper
called it Socialism. And there were
fireworks in the evening. Respectable
and orthodox persons wrote angry
letters to the editor, denouncing him
for teaching Socialism: he was brand
ed as an infidel, a destroyer of the
public peace, denounced as an anarch
ism. And it was not Socialism at all.as
because'toe had called his creed Social
ism. And it was Socialism at all, as
Socialists recognize their creed; it was
individualism applied simply to the
Golden Rule. The term damned it. If
a man would state a proposition in
geometry and declare it to be Social
ism the world would set to work to
prove the proposition false before it
thought to disprove that it was So
cialism.
"It Is difficult to say juBt why when
a man begins to acquire a bank ac
count and a buggy that cuts under in
front, he becomes a violent paranoiac
maniac on the subject of Socialism.
He Is open to Christian Science: he
will discuss telepathy, the dynamic
origin of the living matter . new
thought, clairvoyance, esoteric Budd
hism, the over-soul, the rotation of the
crops, the cycle of prices, the effect
of the moon on warts, and the sun
myths—but Socialism, no!”
Due to the splendid growth of the
Macon and Bibb County schools and the
crowded condition of the schools at pres
ent, due to the large enrollment, and In
view of the needs of the school, the
Board of County Commissioners Tues
day appropriated $73,000 for the mainte
nance of the public schools for the new
year, at the request of the Board or
Education of Bibb County. This is art
increase of $15,009 over the appropriation
of last year, and provides liberally for
the Increase In the attendance of the
school*.
The schools this year have enjoyed one
of the most successful session.' In their
history; the attendance has already boon
much larger than that of last roar,
about 500 more students having been en
rolled over the total enrollment of last
yea?.
Many new buildings and rooms have
been built and the work of all the schools
has been most satisfactory and successful.
The full board was in attendance at
the meeting yesterday morning, tho fol
lowing gentlemen being present and lent
their influence in behalf of the increase:
President T. D. Tinsley. Judge W. H.
Felton. Col. C. M. Wiley. Mr. J. W. Cab
aniss, Mr. J. H. Hertz. Col. C. R. Pendle
ton.'Mr. C. B. Willingham. Mr. Walter
Harris and Mr. Henry Horne. Judge
Felton and President Tinsley both made
strong speeches in behalf of tho in
crease.
The Board of Commissioners weie quick
to see the wisdom of this increase and
they immediately granted tho amount
asked.
This means that there will bo addi
tional facilities for tho Bibb County
school children, and that there will be no
necessity of having as many as 50 to
17-0 children per room in some localities,
but that the teachers will have a reason
able number of students and will bax'e an
increase In their salaries for their untir
ing efforts.

STAMFORD, Conn., May 29.—-Dr.
William J. Long has made public a
letter sent by him to President Roose
velt The letter says in part:
To His Excellency, Theodore Roose
velt.
“Dear Sir: The Issue between you
and me is no longer one of animals,
but of men. It •s not chiefly a mat
ter of natural history, but of truth a ad
personal honor. In a recent magazine
article you deliberately attack mo as
well as my book. In my book I have
given the result of long years of
watching animals in the wilderness,
with no other object than to study
their habits and so far as man can, to
understand the mystery of their dumb
life. In every preface I have stated,
and I now repeat the statement, that
every incident I have recorded from
my own observation is true as far as
an honest, educated man can see and
understand the truth. In your recent
attack this is what you chiefly deny.
As president of the United States you
have gone out of your way publicly to
injure a private citizen, who was at
tending strictly to his own business,
so, as a man, you have accused of
falsehoods a man whose ideals of
truth and honor are quite as high as
your own. This is the whole Issue be
tween us. I meet it squarely and so
must you. If you have accused me
falsely you must publicly withdraw
your accusation and apologize. You
base your recent charges chiefly on
the matter of a big white wolf killing
a young caribou by a bite In the chest,
described by me in “Northern trails.”
You declare the thing to be a mathe
matical impossibility could a wolf perform
the feaL"
Dr. Long declares he knows from his
own observation and from the testi
mony of Indians that wolves do some
time kill in this way, and then quotes
the signed and witnessed statement of
J. Hapidati. an educated Sioux In
dian. who states that he saw a horse
hich a wolf had killed by tearing its
chest. In addition to this. Dr. Long says
he himself had seen a deer which, had
been slain In this manner by a wolf.
Concluding, Dr. Long says:
“These are tho facts underlying the in
cident which you declare to be impos
sible and false. If this testimony is not
enough. I will fill it up to full scripture.
You cannot 'at this stage. Mr. Roosevelt,
take refuge behind tho Presidential office
and maintain silence. You have for
feited your right to that silence by break
ing it, by coming out in public to attack
a private citizen. If your talk of a square
deal is not al! a sham, If your frequent
moral preaching Is not hvpocricy, I call
upon you as President and as a man. to
come out and admit the »rror and in
justice of your charge in the same open
and public way in which you made it.”
Bootblack Shrewd Business Man.
From the New York Sun.
The sight of a man borrowing $100
from the bootblack in an uptown hotel
barber shop the other Sunday morning
rather startled some of the customers
ho were seated in the place. The
man that borrowed the hundred is a
race track man and was only tempo
rarily embarrassed. The customers
didn't pay as much attention to him as
they did to the size of the roll that the
bootblack carried. This bootblack, by
the way, seldom musses up his hands
over a pair of shoes. He has three
boys to look after that work and his
duties consist of seeing to it that cus
tomers get to chairs in proper turn.
His easiest money, however, cornea
from the sale of collars. A lot of folk
in the neighborhood of the hotel on
Sunday and other mornings haven’t
been home the night before. They 1
know that collars are to be had at the
barber shop. Of course, the customer
discards his dirty collar and it ia
gathered up by the bootblack, who has
the soiled ones laundered and sells
them over again. He charges 25 cents
for each collar, no matter what it cost
originally.
