THOMAS, ClUCKAMAUQA NATIONAIi PAKK, LYTI.K, GA., June 22, 1898. IC'niTOKS COUKIKK : Camp lifo lins its oh amis, fascinations and attrac tions, when ono is camped beside ?onie quiet brook or in KOIIIO distant mountain, where freedom is supreme. There it menus rest from the weary cares and toils of business. Tho rose is brought baok to tho check, pallid by constant strain of eleven months in tho year, a renewed vigor is instilled into the system and tho atop becomes firm and elastic. It is grand and pcoplo trav?l hundreds of miles to enjoy its charms. Anny life bas its charms, fascina tions and attractions. Thoro are many drawbacks, however, to tho raw recruit whioh he fails to appre ciate, especially so to our well-fed, frcedoni-loving, easy-going ?South Carolina youth, who has been used to placing bis feet under his father's table three times a day tho year round and en joying a square meal. Camp life in tho army means a strict observance of military disci pline. It means that you must be up at ? o'clock in the morning and in bcd by 9.80 at night ; also, when ono ventures to go beyond the .hounds of bis camp he is confronted by n stern sentinul and a Springfield rille. However, hero at Chicka mauga wo have a radius of twelve miles square lor a camp ; so we are not cramped. At 5 o'clock we have roll call ; atti breakfast; from 0.20 to 7 wo ?weep tho company streets and pplico the camp generally ; from 7.80 to 0.80 we drill ; from D.?lO to 1 any special detail service that arises in thc division. At I we have dinner ; from 1 until H.H0 wc have holiday ; from 8.80 until r>.:$0 wo drill ; at <> wc have retreat ; at 7 guard mount ; at 7 JIU supper ; at 0 roll call ; at 9.80 taps. Chiokamauga is the ideal of a camp, its stately oaks furnishing a ecol shade throughout thc day. It is int beautiful placo and the men generally, not on duty, have tho privilege of ihc park. Visiting among the different regiments is one of the pleasing features of our life, and wo meet many people wo have known in earlier days. I met a school-mate tho other day who is with a Vermont regiment and an old friond with one from Nebraska. Thus in this conglomeration of 48,000 mon wo have a reunion-of friends of days gone by. Hore we see all classes and sections brought together side by side. On one ?ide is Pennsylvania, on the other Minne sota, in tho center South Carolina. "Kcbs and Yanks" united under one common brotherhood, lighting for one common country and ono com mon banner. Marring several un pleasant incidents connected with tho "negro," several I'ennsyl ;.nia coal miners and some of our South Carolina boys, everything shows that both classes are glad to join hands and bury tho past. Hore we see a Tillman and an Kaile, com manding side by side under a Penn sylvanian and Indianaian. Surely thirty-live years have wrought great changes. Yet on this historic ground WO are quits anyhow, for didn't tho Confederates pound the Yanks into n jelly and leave thousands of their (lead here V The little; white marks ol' their resting place remind us both alike that we may also go tho same way at the hands of our common foe. It was a boomerang that rebounded a year later when Sherman pounded Braggs so unmercifully, and thus broke the backbone of the Confede racy. We ave on sained ground. Thoro is no time for petty quarrels, hut wo, both North and South, herc unite, our hands (?vcr the gravos of our beloved dead, and as we shed a tear forovor brush away tho past. Who knows what tho future holds for us ? The South Carolina regiment ia well managed and is fast hoing trained for the field. We are being oqtfipped as rapidly ns possible. We liavc been instructed lo make nu extra requisition for clothing, whioh will bo issued at once. This is for campaign work, and from that it looks as if our days hero aro few. I'ho commissary department has rush orders to equip tu immediately. Tho regiment is rejoiced over (len. Lee's request that wc bc placed under Iiis command. The health of the regimen1 is excel lent, with thc exception of some camp disorders that aro natural to the changed condition of living. There havo boen but fifty men on tho Bick list and in tho hospital for tho past week out of tho entire regi ment of ovor one thousand mon. Some oases of malaria contracted in camp at Columbia have dovcloped hore, but all aro rapidly disappear ing through the agency of quinine and iron. Major Whittlo, of international reputation, a colleague ot Mr. Moody, is doing a groat work among tho rogimonts. Ho held services with tho First South Carolina last night. Ho is an excellent speaker. He was a motnbor of Cen. Sherman's staff during thc famous march to tho sea. He is accompanied by Frank T. Maxwell, of Indiana, ono of tho sweetest singes I havo ever listened to. Tho Ked Cross is doing good work among tho sick, furnishing ninny delicacies that tho sufferers would not olhorwiso get. There sundy must he heroines among the noble women who have given up so much to conic to nurse the sick soldiers. Hy tho way, a woman's voice in the First just now would sound like a whippoorwill in oarly spring, and as for myself 1 think 1 would bo con tent to be put to sleep by a Spanish bullet just to hoar a baby's voice for live minutes, even if it were erying. The men aro anxious to go to tho front. They will not be satisfied until tho Spanish Hag is wiped from this sido-of the Atlantie, and if thc Spaniards have murdered Hobson and his men the dirty rag must ge from the face of the earth forever.

C., Juno 24.-In formation was roooived lioro by tolo phono last evening from l?atcsvillo, Groonvillo county, ole von milos from here, of w hat is said to havo boon an attompt at lynching, resulting in the wounding, probably fatally, of a col ored boy eight, years old and tho serious wounding of thrco white tuon. Some weoks ago tho barn and atable of Edward Hughes wore burned. Mr. Hughes lives about six miles from Hatesvillo. lt was be lieved that the buildings woro fired by an incendiary, and suspicion rested on John Parks, a negro living on Mr. Hughes' farm. The evidence against Parks was ?tot suflioiont to causo bis arrest, but thoro was u atrong feeling against him, which culminated Wednesday night about midnight. Stories of what occurred differ widely in important respects. It is certain, however, that about midnight Parks was aroused by a hammering on the door of his house, accompanied by a demand that bc como to tho door with a light. His story is that ho refused to open the ?loor and an attack was at once made, the door fastenings were broken mid a dozen or more mon rushed into thc room. Parks says ho had suspected a lynching party and was prepared, and as the crowd rushed in heoponod lire with a double barrelled shotgun, Tho first load torc off thc left arm of James M. Jones, between thc elbow and shoulder. Tho result ot the second load was not serious, being only the peppering of rt man named Fowler from Sparlanburg county, and one other whoso name could not be learned. Parks saya tho raiders then opened lire on him with pistols, but he escaped unhurt and that they then withdrew from tho house to look nf tor tho wounded but soon returned and began a fusil ade, firing into lite house through door and window. A son of Parks, about eight yean old, received two wounds, om through tho loft wrist and the otho] in the loft side, tho bullet passing through his body. Yesterday Dr White extracted the bullet from thc right side of thc boy. The dootoi thinks this wound will prove fatal Parks returned to his homo yester day. On the other hand, friends of tin white men say tin; party went t< Parks' house to get informatioi about the burning, that ho fired a them from tho house, and that tin boy w;ts hurt when this fire was re turned from outside. Much feeling has been aroused it tho community. Tho negroes say they will definid and uphold Parks During tho Htimmor of ISM, Mr. ('has P.

All druggls WOfnAN'SCl?BCQNVENTION At tho first Convention of Wo man's Clubs, recently held ntSonoon, tho following admirable address of welcome was delivered by Mrs. M. W. Coleman : Koprosonting tho "Once-n-Wook Clul)," I oxtend a welcome to you, our sister club women, who, in an swer to our call, are with us to-day. I lt was not without groat solicitude that our littlo band assumed tho re sponsibility of calling this conven tion, but, buoyed up by an ardent desire to sec tho dui) women of our loved Stale in stop with our sister States, wo put into abeyance tho fact of tho narrow attractions offered by so young a city ns ours, and armed with a determination to dare and do, wc propose to nurture in our simple way thc infant Federation, striving to make up what is wanting in attraction and elegance by gener ous welcome. As we look into your faces we are inspired with a glow of glad pride at the result of our temer ity, and we soe' a possibility of an Organization-which, not as Dickens would put it, a transparency with a feeble light behind it, hut a vivid panorama illumined by a sunburst of earnest thought that will solvo tho riddle of mental and moral progress of our day. IMI'KM.Un ll Y CONSKRVATIHM. We see our club women falling into lino and keeping step* with others whose conservatism lias im pollcd them to engage in a work the most helpful and inspiring of all othor work to those who are seeking a wholesome as well as optimistic philosophy of life. When we know of hundreds, yea thousands, of women all over tho land working earnestly and zealously for tho common good, we can feel that the woman's club is a potent factor in the progress of our national lifo. Our modern civilization, im proved school systems and scientific teaching havo done much for hu manity, yet a broad and fruitful hold tempts us to its tilling. We of South Carolina have clung to the prejudices of tho past some what tenaciously, yet wo fool and know that the day is fast approach ing when precedent will bo thrown lo the winds, and, catching tho inspi ration, we move onward, clinging to whatever is lovely, whatsoever is of good report, above all, whatsoever is womanly. We havo our dubs, our club workers, and tho exigency arises for organized effort. Can wc shut our eyes to tho fact that tho world has less and less to say te tho lag gard? "Ho who wins must run the race Well." We see and know that unless wo essay a contact with those whose presence and words are an inspira tion, and aro thereby enabled to keep in touch with life, we see the world spinning away,, and the fact grow? emphatic that we arc impotent to check it. INTHI.I.KOTUAI., f!l VIC AM) Pilli.A\ T into J* io. To-day wc are gathered together willi a common nim, thc helpfulness and honcfits to bo gained from united efforts for a common purpose That purpose is a i organization-a union for all kinds of co-operation, and to establish a neutral ground for conference upon plans and problems, intellectual, civic and philanthropic. Two points are essential lo success. To secure the large and varied mem berships, representatives of all local organizations of women, and of many social sets ; nothing less than this can secure thc wholesome fric tion by which the mind warms to tho reception of new ideas and de velops broadened power?. Kach member must be possessed of a democratic spirit; in other words, let all petty jealousies and suspicions be forgotten in the desire to make our organization one of strength, and will prove a helpful ally to every other educational and charitable association in In. Stale, and a direct stimulus to a broader cull ure and generous action. Another idea 1 would urge, that we keep uppermost tho bettering of our educational Ry atom. Who knows what can bo accomplished by an earnest effort on this lino? Per haps we may bo able to forge the tiny entering wedge that may ?wing back the portal which leads to the higher paths of learning- higher^ be cause moro practical, and which let? in tho wholesome light of possible attainment. Those of you who live in n more fortunate and enlightened section cnn acareo realize tho ap palling and moat apparent want of even a common school education that is to bo 'found within tho bor I?OTB of our State. Tho groat honrt of humanity ia easily touohod by a ory of physical distress-tho hiingor of tho l)ody-but tho domond for mental food efton fails uttorly to bo hoard.

Tho salient characteristics of tho olub spirit to-day is tho ardent dosiro to sharo bonofits with othors. At tho beginning of woman's clubs thoy wero along tho cultural lino oxolu sivoly. Tho literary club of othor days was tho outgrowth of natural refinement, but this work, hedged in, as it wore, rovolved in a narrow way, and its results wero narrowed down to tho exclusivo fow ; it failed to reach tho masses ; that vast army of patient toilers who aro in thc great est need of a rays of sunshino in their everyday lifo. On every sido we hoar of tho now woman. Tho torin is amisnomor-I might say a bugbear-used to bring discredit to tho move. Thoic is nothing now under tho sun-no, not oven a new woman. Tho woman of to-day-tho progressive woman-is tho old woman ')f othor days rojuvi nated by a new impulso, a club spirit. Homo is now, ns over, tho first in hov heart, but her club comes in by way of recreation, and is a means of regu lating tho potty oares and inconse quential worries into tho background, The mind dwells upon subjects ol broader and higher import. Those who havo no sympathy for tho sor rows of others, those who shut them selves up with their own interest,1 and pleasures ns a mental environ ment, are possessed of "Homethinji worse.

Secrctnry lingo Explains Their Naturo to tho People Tho Oou.n!KH is in receipt of the following circular lotter, dated at tho Treasury Dopartmont, Washington, June 13, signed by L. J. Gago, and giving full information a? to tho tinturo, characleriHtics and incidents of tho government loan now pending : UNIT1CO STATICS CONDS. I lu i ted States bonds are recognized ns the most secure and stable form of obligation that investors can bold. They aro attractive, not only because of tho absolute security offered, but because there is at all times a public market for thom on which holdors can quickly sell ; and they also offer the most desirable form of collateral if tho hobler wishes to secure a tem porary loan. Tho fact that United States bonds are not subject to taxes of any character-Federal, State or municipal-is a valuable featuro of that form of investment. United States bonds are issued in both cou pon and registered form. COUPON HON DR. A coupon bond is payable to tho bearer, lt may bo bought and sold without formality as freely as any kind of proporty and without indorse ments of any kind. Owing to tho freedom of transfer, coupon bonds are usually preferred by persons who expect to hold them but a short thao. Their disadvantage for the porson who wishes to make a perma nent investment lies in thc danger that they might be lost or stolen, in willoh case the loss to the owner would boas complete as would, bo the loss of a bank note. Tho coupon bonds take their name from tho me thod by which interest is collected by tho holder. Printed on the same sliect with bond is a scries of coupons or small certificates of interest due, which are so designed that one is out off at each interest period. Fach coupon bears tho number of the bond and shows tho date of the coupon's matur ity. The holder of a coupon bond, at each interest period, detaches tho coupon due that day and collects it. Thc coupons aro payable at any sub treasury, ?md may bo collected through any bank, and will usually bc accepted by any merchant having n bank account, with whom tho holder of the bond has dealings. Tho holder of a coupon bond may at any time have it converted into a regis tered bond free ot charge. KKOI8TKKKU UOND8. A registered bond is payable to tho order of the owner, and can only bo transferred by being properly in dorsed and assigned by tho owner. Such assignment is made by tho owner filling in the blank form on the back of the bond, and must bo witnessed by some officer authorized by the regulations of tho treasury department to witness assignments. Tho owner of tho registered bond who wishes to part' with it writes his name on tho batik of the bond in the preso nco of tho officer; then tho witnessing oflicer writes his name in its proper place and affixes an im pression of his official seal. The officers who arc authorized to witness assignments are a United States Judge, United States District Attorney, (Merk of a United States Court, Collector of Customs, Collec tor or Assessor of Internal llovonuo, United States Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer, or thc President or Cash ier of National Hank, or if in a for eign country, a United States Min ister or Consul. In casos whore then! is no officer within a reasonable distance, or when, through sickness or Homo other good reason, tho owner of registered bonds cannot go beforo one of these officers, the Treasury Department will designate somo person near the owner to act ns wit ness. When tho owner of a registered bond disposes of it and bas properly assigned it, ho delivers it to the now owner, who should at ohoo forward it to tho Register of tho Treasury for transfer on the book of the department. Tho Register cancels tho bond so forwarded and issues a now bond ir? the name of tho now owner, and sends it to him by regis tered mail. The department makes no charge for transferring bonds. if the owner of a registered bond loses it, or if it is stolen from him, ho should at on co notify tho Secre tary of tho Treasury. A stoppago will bo entered against tho bond, and if it should be prevented for transfer thc department will hold possession of tho bond tintil the ownership is clearly established. If a lost or stole;? bond is not rccovorod within six months tho department will issue .-*m lum". Ko y nt makes tho food pure? wholesome and delicious?
