By other men es the regiment.”

Irhicb he says were reported
Ho higher authoriti -s without
Kctiun being taken.
■No less sensati *1 was a por
■ioiiof Dr. ThomasC. Chalmers’s
Bwimony. Dr. Chalmers was
Haptdn and assistant surgeon of
■i» Twelfth Now York. He said:
H "The men never could get
■uough water to satisfy their
■hirst. Ice water was sold at
■1.85 a pitcher. The matter w r as
■opened, but the custom was
■lot stopped. The mules and
■horses on transports went for
■wenty four hours at one time
Brithout water.”
M Lieut.-Col. Parker, of the
Brae regiment, was an equally
■interesting witness. He asserted
■hat when the troops arrived at
B'bicamauga the men bad to
Bleep on the wet ground with
Bfi'V one blanket and no change
Bjclothing. He said that the
■irst South Carolina regiment
Bid not receive their rifles for
B month after their arrival at
■ta park, the men being com-
Belied to do guard duty without
Kuns. The Twenty-first Kansas
had te do gurd duty for two
Beekswith sticks. Said Col.
Parker;
I When the volunteers first ar-

ROME GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2. 1893.
ga He went to see Gen. P.-o< ke
regarding the lack of , q ilp
ments, clothing and oth r sup
plies.
“The day before we left Mo
bile we got pretty well sup
plied,” he said. “These were
supplies for recruits. At Siftitiago
we had bread and meat alway s.
Montauk Point was not the
proper place for a camp of sick
soldiers at this time of year. At
Montauk Point I learned that
tlie Long Island railroad had
exclusive contract to haul the
soldiers to the city.
“I i Cuba medical supplies
were woefully short. The medi
cal officers said they could not
get them.
“This was especi dly true at
Siboney. In going over we had
enough medical supplies, but
we were cut down. We had
trouble in getting ambulances
taken to Caba. Got one for each
regiment and one for the squad
ron. J. think the ambulances I
took were the only ones ashore
when the Rough Riders’ fidit
occurred on the 24th of June.”
When asked v 1 at in h s<j in
ion was the weakness in the
medical departinmt, Gen. Bites
said ho 11 ni’ht a great mistake
was made in not sending medi
cal officers in sufficient number
wifi regiments ordered t® the
field. Additional transportation
should have been furnished for
medical officers and medical
supplies,ambulances and horses.
N ) EXCUSE CAN BE OFFERED
“1 think there is not Sufficient
excusa for medical supplies be
ing shortin Cuba,” continued
the witness. “B-tter prepara
tions could have been made for
transportation. We had no way
to shoo horses and mules.”
Gen. Bates had no recom men
dati®ns to suggest. e
Dr. Edgar A. Means, surgeon
in charge of the Gibbs general
hospital, Lexington, was asked
regarding the sanitary condi
tion of Camp Thomas, where he
was brigade surgeon. He read
a report on the Condition of the
sites there which showed they
were disease breeders. Though
the men detailed from the regi
ments to the division hospitals
were incompetent, Dr. Means
condemned the water supply at
Camp Thomas because there
was typhoid fever there.
The order to boil drinking wa
ter was generally obeyed when
boilers could be procured.
THAT JOYFUL FEELING.
With the exhilarating sense
of renewed health and strength
and internal cleanliness, which
follows the use es Syrup of Figs,
is unknown to the few who have
not progressed beyond the old
time medicines and the cheap
substitutes sometimes offered
but never accepted by the well
informed. Buy the genuine
Manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co.

Hammer was employed in the
machine shops of the J. S. Rowel’
Manufacturing Co. He was a good
woiker, but at timas had spells of
supposed insanity, the result, it is
said, of religious excitement. His
peculiar ways made him the but
for practical jokes.
Today some one placed some
tacks on a stool where he worked
aud this angered him. He*left the
shop, went to a hardware store,
where he rested a shotgun, load'd
it with shells, and t»kmg up his
position south of the main build
ing of the plant, kept every on? at
bay for ever an bcur, the while
shooting several employees

selected by the mar hal to shoot
him in such a manner as to bring
him down without killing Lin

in the right shoulder with a Ci
caliber rifD, bringing him to the
ground. He was quickly arrestod
by the marshal and taken to th P
lock-up, whirs his wounds were
dressed, They were found to be
not serious.
