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 guard Sixteenth C. V. Mr. Forbes fur ther says "I was a prisoner in the stockade from May 3, 1864. until the middle of September, when I was sent to Flor ence, S. C.

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. STATE PRESS VIEWS Hastens Slowly.

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 Carnegie’s fine-spun tactics and gifts will not avail him When he goes to the bar where special pleadings and wealth cannot be transmuted into ho- ■Resolv*ed,' that he president of this 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 entered upon, and many times subse quent ratified, that when the corpora tion got its money back for putting the book on the counter, I was to have the next whack at the receipts for my $120. cash and paid in four installments of $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 suit came on for hearing. body shall annoint a committee of three whose duty it shall be. first—to ascertain whether or not the southeas." ern tariff, association exists or oper ates in violation of the Stae laws agains russ.

I believe, also responsible. So don’t jump on Corey. He is bad enough, but a tool. The hand which wields and makes the tool is respon sible. Staunton and Seward stood in the same relation to Lincoln that Corey does to Carnegie. Like him. they have been damned and stigmatized while Lincoln has been given all the attri butes that any good and great man could possess, but he could have re moved them any day, as Jackson did his Secretary of the Treasury.

James Flaherty, who has lately been pardoned out of Sing Sing from a life sentence for murder by the efforts of Maud Ballington Booth, was officially dead to his friends for ten years, the death of another convict of the same name having been reported to them by mistake. Prof. J. C. Monaghan, chief of the consular division of the bureau of manu facturers. has resigned from that position with the intention of taking up lecturing. He has made a fine rermtation as a speaker since going to Washington and is looked upon as one of the readiest talkers of that city. 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 enough to make the contract Neale 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.

Impugning Macon’s Motive. From the Montezuma Record. Atlanta and Macon are both endear- oring to increase their population by annexing new territory. Atlanta is after new territory and more inhabi tants. while Macon is after the taxes on those new million dollar railroad shops going up there. The Trolley in South Georgia. Cordele Rambler.

Rapier Vs. Meat Ax. Alpharetta Free Press. We sincerely trust that when Gov ernor Terrell goes out of office Ben Blacktourn will come back to tois own and raise the level of Georgia journal ism.

Suppose firstly Mr. Taft is elected president; suppose secondly Mr. Roosevelt is elected senator: support thirdly Senator Roosevelt calls to see President Taft and the president hap pens to be busy talking to “Bat” Mas- terson, but it Is impossible to suppose what might happen then. I have profited by the experience, however. The next whirl I shall take with bookmakers will be with the Pen ning set. I can’t lose more hopelessly, and I’ll have some fun. HAVANA QUARANTINED.

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.

"When a man in a street car objects to a child rubbing its muddy feet all over his trousers, every woman in the £ar knows he has a bad heart, 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. QUARANTINE WAS IMPOSED BY U. S. MARINE HOSPITAL. NEW ORLEANS, La..
