TO PERFECT SOOTH'S
i WAR RECORDS.
Chief of Record and Pension Bureau
of War Department Tells of
Work To Preserve Names
of Men Who Bought
for South.
By Jos: Ohl.
Washington, November I I .—(Special.)—
j Brigadier General C. I l '. Ainsworth, chief
. of the record and pension bureau of the
war department, devotes a considerable
, portion of Ills annual report to a discus
sion of the work of securing rosters of
■ conf< derate niilit.n y organizations for use
In the compilation authorized by act of
congress. Hu traces the history of this
! movement to secure for the government a
complete record of ail Hie troops who
took part in the civil war, snows the
work that has been done in his depart
ment. refers to the fact that the union
, records are practically complete and
, enumerates some of the obstacles tending
I to prevent such completeness with regard
. to the men who fought on the side ol
, the south, lie pays tribute to the gen
’ tlcnicn who, as the representatives if
: their states, are coo] itiug with him,
- and expressed the belief tii.it this work,
' when completed, will be a most valuable
; addition to the history of that great
| struggle.
Inspiration of tiro Work.
I In writing of the inspiration of the
present work, General Ainsworth says:
"There is no doubt that there Is a very
general desire on the part of the surviv
ing participants in the groat struggle In
, which the country was viigag- <1 from IBG I
j to 1865, and on the part of their de
i seendants a d the descendants of those
; who iia.vi- passed away, tor a publication
that shall show the names ol those who,
| either as ollieers or (.minted men, boro
• arms for the union or for the coniedera-'j’
i during the great war. It was upon theso
I conditions that the secretary of war rec-
■ ommended the compilation and publica-
I lion of a complete Hst or roster of the
' oHiecrs and men who served in those
•armies during the civil war. It was telt
I iha.t tho publication of such a roster
j would bo an appropriate and valuable
' addition to the- great work that contains
I the history of the civil war and that it
i would relievo congress to a great extent
; from the demands that are being made
i upon it with greater urgency each :-eai
for legislation for ti e benelit of certain
states, and that it would also have the
merit of giving to the service of the en
listed man a public recognition that has
heretofore b<-< a reserved almost exclu
sively lor commissioned officers."
General Ainsworth notes that the war
department records of Individual service
in the union armies are complete as it is
possible to tn.ike them, but with regard
to the confederate part of the roster,
■ there will be great difficulty because of
; the incompleteness of the war depart-
• rr.ent collection ot confederate records.
! lie tells of the conferences with Secretary
i of War Root upon this subject, the re
i suit of which was tho letter of last
March to the governors of tho different
states which furnished soldiers to the
j confederaey, asking their cooperation.
Cooperation by the States.
| "The responses received fre-m the gov
| ernors,” says General Ainsworth, "have
. I- ■ n approving and cordial, end are s>ieh
I as to assure t.ie department ' that ' the
chief executives of ths states that fur-
J nished troops to the confederate service
i fully appreciate the importance and value
■ of tho work now in hand and will co
operate h. irtily with the department in
i its effort to give to tho confederate sol
' dier, as far as it may be possible, the
• credit that is due him in the proposed
j publication, tn accordance with tho sug
gestion of the secretary of war, each of
tin- governors addressed, with tho excep-
i ’.ion of those of the states of Maryland,
; .Missouri and Virginia, lias appointed a
i representative to correspond with the de-
■ partment relative to tlpe details of the
! work and th- steps to be taken in the fur-
■ therance of it."
i The plans under which the various
I southern states, through the agents ap
pointed b) tin- £e"j>‘.ctive governors, have
1 beep ceiidu-'.-tin.r this work are given In
j some detail and reference Is made to the
' nugget t i-u. of these stane representatives,
f-.irrnulated in their recent meeting in
Atlanta, that the incomplete data, of the
existing official records be supplement'd
' by unofficial lists and by information fur
! nlshed from memory by surviving officers
and men. Os this Qeneral Ainsworth
Only Offica.l Records Now.
“In considering this suggestion the en"-
| rotary of war b e concluded that, under
' the la v authorizing the compilation, the
j department can ugp as a. basis for the
i compilation only original records made
i during the war period, it being ihe mani
' fest intention of congress that the roster.
1' like tile official records of the union and
confederate armies, shall be. a compilation
of official data, aipl that its accuracy
I shall not be subject to question by reason
lof it; lat i> from uni fficial
I sources or from th. ■ fallible and uncertain
1 memories of a long-p>ast period. While
I this adherence to contemporaneous of-
I ficial records cf the war period as a
I basis for the roster may result in its
: being somewhat Ineomp!' tj, it is believed
I that tho loss thus occasioned will be
i far more than compensated tor by the
removal of ail doubt as to the absolute
; accuracy of all that the roster does show.

The fact that tli„ confederate part of a
roster, compiled as tie- law requires this
one to lie. may not contain the name of
some particular person will not be con
clusive evidence that that person did not
serve in the confederate army, while tho
fact that the name o-f any person is
-borne on the roster will be indisputable
evidence that that person was in tlie mili
tary service.
Unbiased Contemporary Records.
“The publication known as the 'Of
ficial Records of t | lf , Union and Confed
l erate Armies’ might have been made more
| nearly complete, and perhaps more inter
! esting, If it had included unofficial doc
uments or reports made from memory
; after the close of the war by partici
pants in the groat struggle. It is uni
versally conceded, however, that, the chief
mine of that publication is due to the
act that It is an unbiased presentation
if the showing of contemporaneous rec
, ords made during the war period, and
that it contain, nothing against which
. can be urged tho well-known fallibility
of the human m- iuory, the natural desire
■ to extenuate or explain past actions in
the light of subsequent events, and tho
general disposition to make the records
i show what one Hunks they ought to show
; In justice to himself, his friends or his
acquaintances. The application of the
. same rule to the recently authorized ros
' ter Is believed to be necessary in order
that effect shall be given to the mani
‘ fest of congress that the compilation
: shall bo one upon which future genera
tions can rely as a source of historical
information of undoubted accuracy.”
Sp- aking of the public interest in th»
■ work General Ainsworth’s comment Is:
"So far as the war department is ad
vised, the projiosition to publish a roster
i of the union and confederate armies has
been wet’, receiv-i tn all sections of tho
I country. Tho department lias not b-'en
advised of any expression on the sub
ject by any organized body of union yet
: oiot.s. but at ,he meeting of the Con
federate Veterans at Ni w Or: ans in
l May last a res- 'ution was unanimously
i adopted commondins; the work and urg
ing upon all cons. • ’-etc soldiers and tholr
I descendants who have in their possession
I anv original records ontalning the names
lof ’ confederate soldiers to send them to
1 tho governors of the respe-tive states
' for transmission to tho secretary of
i Valuable Results Expected.
I Tlie progress of the work in hand is
! such as to give promise of valuai ro
i suits. “It Is early yet,” wys General
Ainsworth, “to look for any extended re
i suits from the initiatory steps taken lor
I the collection of missing records, but the
| work done Is already bearing fruit, a
I considerable number of original records
; having been received from the state of-
I ficials, historical associations and prl
j vate individuals. These records have been
copied and returned to the persons from
whom they were received. The actual
work of compihr.g names for the roster
cannot be undertaken until the prelimi
. r.ars work of co, .. ing and indexing the
| confederate record . which is now in prog
ress. shall have i>-on completed or unlil
it shall have been so far advimced as to
justifv the diversion of a. portion of the
clerical force for that purpose. Relative
ly little work in preparation for the com
pilation of the names of the officers and
enlisted men of the volunt'-.-r force of
the union nrniv will b» necessary that
work having b-• :i accomplished in the
compl' tion of the much greater work or

HOW THE SOUTH LEADS.
(From Leslie's Weekly.)
Some of James D. B de Bow’s prophe
cies are being strikingly verified. When,
n few years before the war of secession,
that eminent sta’ist’clan. in his Com
mercial Review, published in New Or
leans, for. tn’.l t! it S -rn” day th-i south
i would be emaneiiated from Ils depen-
■d- -e on tlie.no -d on Idurope lor
its ma.mifa is. ' '.'lt s-uth and no: a
I were Incredulous. I recent advance
I by the south In coal and iron production
i have started his forecasts on tlie road
i toward realiirsli-’n In cotton manufac
turing realization has already come.
i As "recently as 1890 tho north’s mills
' consumed more than three times as
' much cotton as did the mills of the
i south- 1,799,253 bales for the former and
1546,894 for the latter. in the twelve
months ending August 31. 1903, tho
i north’s mills used 1.967,635 bales and the
south’s 2.000,729 bale While the north
i gained but slightly in the thirteen years
the south advanced by leaps and bounds.
; Tho 76.7 per cent for the north and the
23.3 per cent for tlie south, which repre
sented the proportion of t’ne consumption
of cotton in the mills of the Sections
thirteen years ago. ii- changed to 49.53
per cent for the nc-rt’: and 00.42 per cent
. for the south this year.
i Calhoun’s old 5ta.tr—3.036.000 spindles
for South Carolina, 2.061.000 for North
i Carolina, 1,370,000 :’->r Georgia, and
smaller numbers for other state s of their
i section—has a lead throughout tho south
|in cotton manufa turing. This is not
i what that statesman : ,oked for. Possibly
'it is not the sort of supremacy which
'he wanted, it is .: rind of ascendency,
however, which wit! tell favorably for
’he ith, wiw -h
had onlv 295.359 spin -.as in operation in
1860 338.860 in 1870. and but i. 319.291
,as re. -n.tly as 1890, '.as 8.248,275 whir
) ring today
i This shifting of m.inafactures to tlie
region of the raw m '.trials is asserting
itself in tlie case of iiun, wool and other
commodities, and will continue to d w > so,
! thus altering the sac- of things thiungh
! out south, west an.l east. Industrial

A DREAD.
Lo ! At the cou.-h where infant beauty sleeps;
Iler silent watch the mournful mother keeps ;
She, while the lovely babe unconsci’>us lies,
Smiles on her slumbering child with pensive
eyes.
A fear clutches nt the heart of the
mother that her own little one tnay not •
live long. She dreads its second sum- :
iner, or that it may never wake from its
sound sleep. All mankind loves a .
mother —loves to see a mother love her \
child. A baby and its mother are in- .
sured against ill-health if the mother :
takes Dr* Pierce’s Favorite Prescription,
a tonic for women that Dr. R. V.
Pierce invented over a third of a cen- j
tury ago for women’s ills. This is a
vegetable tonic, made only of barks,
roots and herbs, which puts the female
system into perfect, healthy action. Be
fore baby’s coming it is just tlie uterine i
tonic that puts the womanly system into
a proper condition to make the birth
painless and to insure a healthy child.
Many mothers of families in the United
States have reason to be grateful to the
person who recommended Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription. It does not cure
eczema, catarrh in all its forms, nor
heart disease, for it is put up for the
single purpose of curing disease pecu
liar to women. It has a reputation of
over thirty-eight years of cures, and has
sold more largely on this continent than
any other medicine for women. Another
point in its favor : it does not contain a
single drop of alcohol nor of any nar
cotic. It is purely vegetable. An alco
holic compound for women is something
no woman should take. Womanly
weakness will always bring on nervous
irritability and alcohol is the very worst
thing in tlie world for her to take in thi
nervous condition. What tlie woman
needs is a vegetable tonic which will
build up her delicate system and bring
about a healthy tone. This Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Fresciiptii.il -ya’-s, as no other
remedy can. It cures the drains and
weaknesses of women, and the manufac
turers offer to pay SSOO in legal money of
tlie United States, for any case of Leu
corrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus,
or Falling of Womb, which they cannot
cure. All they ask is a fair and reasona
ble trial of their means of cure.
Many people owe their present good
health to the fact that they consulted
D» Pierce by letter, giving ’aim ail pos
sible information about their condition,
symptoms, etc., and received in return
goof medical advice which cost them
nothing. This is why we advise you to
write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, the founder
cf the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, at Buffalo, N. Y.
Dr. Pierce by no means confines him
self to prescribing his well-known medi
cines He tells you in tlie most com
mon-sense way what ails you, what you
ought to do, what line of treatment
should be followed out in your particular
case, and if your case does not indicate
the use of his proprietary medicine,
he tells you plainly and frankly what
veu do need, and the best possible

where they died one after the other,
witli fever, from want of food and
medicine.
Thirty-six of this number still re
main in a sickly and destitute condi
tion. Sixteen are still at Cheesc-man
burg. Twenty-two have returned to
Monrovia, these are ragged starving
and homeless. Five ol these will re
turn to tlie United States by the first
English steamer to Liverpool on or
about tlie Ist of October, 1903. Their
transportation having been arranged i
by friends in the United States.

in cases of this kind we had to h- Ip
them Horn our private purse. We
soon, however, discovered that we
could not give much charity to twen
ty-two persons for any length of time, !
for food is scarce and tho prices uro
enormous.
Owing, your excellency, to the agi
tation now going on in tlie United
States on the subject of negro emi
gration to Liberia by irresponsible
persons whose literature has wide cir
culation among the Innocent and poor
er class of negroes the question be- I
comes one of gravity for the consider- j
ation of both governments.

You certainly hale produced the finest
medicine for suffering women that there
is to lie had in the country. I want to
recommend it especially to mothers. I
was seventeen years old when my dar
. ling boy was born. Felt very exhausted
and weak for a long time, and it seemed
I coidd not get my strength back. My
sister-in-law bought me a bottle of Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription (after I
had tried several of the other remedies
which are so much advertised, and found
no relief ). I had little faith in the med
icine at the time and was so weak and
, sick that I felt discouraged, but within a
week after I had commenced taking
your " Prescription ” I was like a differ
ent woman. New life ami vitality
seemed to come with each succeeding
day, until, in a few weeks, I was in fine
health, and a happy, hearty woman.
Mv boy is now two years old, and,
thanks to your splendid niedicine, I am
enjoying perfect health. If at any time
I feel tired or in need of a tonic, a few
doses of your "Favorite Prescription ’’
recuperates me at once. My address is

vised me what to do. It is hard for me
to say just, what my trouble was. Was
nervous; had sick headaches, backache,
1 pain in small of back, had no appetite,
pain in mv left side. I was a complete
wreck. I had tried many doctors and
did not get well, so had given up the
thought of ever getting better. I have
taken eight bottles of ‘ Favorite Prescrip

Have advised several of my friends to
use Dr. Pierce’s medicines ami they have
done so and received much benefit. I
am thankful to you for your advice, and
also for what your wonderful medicines
have done for me. May the blessing of

| Secretary Shaw spoke as follows:
I “The only unprotected American in
! dustry is its merchant ui trine. An act
iof congress approved I- George Wasli"

I quentjy assailed, gives the American

; can flag a monopoly in our coastwise
■ trade and we have not only the most
i efficient service, but tlie cheapest coast-
■ wise rates In the world.”
i The secretary continued:
; "Without attempting to give the rea
sons therefor. I content myself with
. stating the fact that forty years ago
i we had only one-fourth as much foreign
I commerce to transport as we have now.
j yet we actually carried in American bot-
• toms forty years ago three times as much
foreign commerce as we carry today
These conditions may be satisfactory to
you. They seem to bo satisfactory to
many. But they are not satisfactory to
me.
”T am not ignorant of the argument
that if foreign countries are willing to
subsidize ships to carry our freight, it.
Inures to our advantage. This migKT
be a sufficient excuse for our supine
Indifference If there were no other con
sideration involved than merely carrying
our freight across the Atlantic ocean
in times of peace. Unfortunately, how
ever, there are many other and weightier
considerations.
Our Commerce in War.
“If war were to be called between an?
two of tho groat powers of Europe our
foreign commerce would be not only help
less. but hopeless.
“As certain as the world revolves the
time will come when our people will
' give more heed to securing a respectable
I share of the trade of South American
’ republics. South Africa, the islands south
' of the equator ami the countries washed
by tiie Pacific ocean.
j “I am not contending for ship subsidies
■ if any more feasible course can be de-
I vised. But if ship subsidies will insure
i us a merchant marine th- n I am for
! ship subsidies. If some otter treasure
i will insure a merchant marine, then I
'am for some other measure. If several
! measures 1 ombined will insure a mer
i chant marine, then I am for al! such
! measures.”
