Havana, Cuba, Aug. 29.—-Both rebel
and government forces seem to be
making time, and beyond raids by
small parties of rebels there are few
developments. The government pro
fesses tp believe that Guerra is now
the pnly insurgent chief in the field
who Is dangerous.
I am informed that it is the purpose
of the government to watt for a few
days until the effect of the amnesty
proclamation may be fully felt, and
then undertake a general forward
movement for the purpose of await
ing Guerra, and thus ending the revo
lution.
One of the revolutionary leaders has
revealed, it is said, that the rebefa pur
pose to remain quiet until all the avail
able. forces have been sent against
Guerra. Then, it Is asserted, Guzman,
who commands In Santa Clara, and
General Asbert. with his forces In
Havana province, will move up and
the government forces will be bottled
up between them.
The town of Cabanas, near the Uni
ted States naval station, was seized
yesterday by a band of 200 rebels un
der Campos Marquettl, the negro con
gressman. Two other towns were raid
ed by rebels. They were Crucos in
Santa Clara and Consolacion in Pinar
del Rio.
The importance of the capture of
Cabanas Is that It is a port and while

Chief Jennings, submitted a recom

recent reign of lawlessness In the
county and the fact that the strength

drive the negroes Into the city limits.
He' called attention also to the fact
that not enough men wpre on duty at
the station house to respond to a riot

It is stated today' that there have
been many desertions from *the forces
of Guerra in Pinar Del Rio. Lack of
food and the hopelessness of the rebel

are now said to be impregnable to any
force Guerra can possibly bring against
them.

Sketch of Hie Life.
W. R. Dlmmock was born in the (little
village of Hayestown, England, August
11, 1852. When two years old he was
brought to America, the family first
coming to Atlahta, then settling
Conyers. «As a boy, he attended school
In Conyers, coming to Atlanta when 15
years old and entering the Wlnshlp
machine shops, where he worked for a
number of years. His education was
completed at night school.
After giving up his work as a me
chanic, Mr. Dlmmock became a fruit
and vegetable commission merchant.
He wns the senior member of the
Dlmmock ft Wallace Commission
House, at No. 1 South Broad street,
for many years.
He first entered politics In the early
90'e,when he was elected to the city
council. Later he was elected an al
derman and served as mayor pro tem.
Seven years ago Mr. Dlmmock was
made secretary of the water board
and has since given up-hie time to that
work.
Mr. Dlmmock married Mrs. Fanny A.
Kerby. of this city, during the year
1887.
Throughout his life Mr. Dlmmock had
been a worker In the Methodist church
and for the last 25 or more years well
known In fraternity circles. At the
time of his death he was a .steward
In the Grace Methodist church, of
which he has been a member for man!
years.
Aside from being one of the oldest
members of Gate City Lodge No. 2. Free
and Accepted Order of Masone, Mr.
Dlmmock was a charter member ol
Klbln Temple. Dramatic Order of
Knights of Khorassan. and one of Its
most enthusiastic members. A delega
tion from this chapter will be In at
tendance at the funeral.
Military Record.
Mr. Dlmmock was, In point of ser
vice, one of the oldest members of the
state militia. He joined the-militia In
1873. His first service was In the Gov
ernor’s Guard Infantry. When this or
ganisation was disbanded he became a
member of the Governors' Horse Guard,
Troop 1, First regiment cavalry, N. G.
of Georgia. Three months ago he wns
presented by the etate with a medal
for the length and faithfulness of his
services. On August 4 of this year he
successfully stood the examination and
was commissioned a second lieutenant
In the Horse Guard. Although the
strain of studying for these examina
tions Is claimed by some to have
brought on the fatal malady, It Is also
believed that a stroke of apoplexy he
sustained two years ago hod much to
do with the death.
Because of Mr. Dlmmock's long ser
vice to' the city of Atlanta, Mayor Pro
Tem. Harwell has Issued orders that
the city hall be closed at 3 o'clock
Thursday afternoon. The fiag will re-

torla today that the original plans for
the reception of the “peerless son" had
not been altered, In spite of the die
satisfaction with the plans as man!
tested by the delegation, 114 strong, of
•'Bryun’s home folks," headed by “Jim”
Dahlman, the cowboy mayor of Omaha.
An equally positive Impression was
given, though not formally announced,
that the Nebraska bunch Is going to
do what they came on hare for, name
ly, go down the bay In a boat them
selves, and In spite of the reception
committee's plan, receive him on their
own boat and carry him off In a cheer
of home-grown Nebraskan enthusiasm.
"We'll See Him First."
The Nebraskans say:
"Who should see him first If not
his own neighbors? Just let us see
him first, and William Jennings Bryan
won't be the same sort of a man he
used to be If he drops us and goes over
to these other chaps."
"These other chaps" are the Demo
cratic: dignitaries and friends of Mr.
Bryan, who will form the welcoming
delegation on board the steam yacht
Illlnl, 'belonging trf E. F. Goltra, of St.
Louis, a personal friend of Mr. Bryan.
She will go down the bay and meet
the Prinzess Irene, bearing Mr. Bryan,
at quarantine.
To Land at Battery.
The Bryan party will be taken aboard
the yacht and'entertained until Thurs
day afternoon. Mr. Bryan himself will
not set foot on Manhattan Island until
4 o'clock, when the yachts lands him
at Pier A, on the North river, and the
purely political part of his reception
begins.
He will be met at the battery by Act

president of the Commercial Travelers'
Anti-Trust League; Governor Folk, of
Missouri, who will ride In the carriage

JOY O VER GE TTING FOR TUNE
ENDS LIFE OF POOR WIDOW
lly Private Leaied Wire.
New York, Aug. 29.—That Mrs. Cora
L. Williams died of heart disease
brought on by excessive Joy, due to
the fact that she was about to come
Into the poesesslon of ft,000,009, was
the finding today at a coroner's Investi
gation Into her death.
Dr, Coral Lafayette Williams, the
husband of Mrs. Williams, died alx
years ago while developing eome mines
near Albuquerque. His body was
robbed of considerable money, besldee
mining stocks, and the widow was Im
poverished.
C. B. Crosby, an old friend of her
husband, learned of her whereabouts
and he set about to develop the Albu
querque mining property. He was very
successful, and got a sum which net
ted Mrs. Williams $1,000,TOO. She was
to have received this, but while wait
ing to go down town after the money
she expired.
Marion 8m!th Improving,
Marlon Smith, aon of Hon. Hoke
Smith, who was operated on MoiMny
for appendicitis Is reported as Improv
ing rapidly. No complications have
arisen, and the wound Is healing nicely.
The physicians anticipate no severe
consequence from the operation, snd
believe the patient will be out In a
very short time.
DO ADVERTISERS STOP TO THINK
—-that in addition to quantity of circulation, esteem
and confidence cut some ice—QUALITY is a big
item, but The Georgian seems to have it going and
coming—good people read The Georgian, and they
call The Georgian GOOD.
THE BEST SOUTHERN PAPER.
To the Eilitor of The Georgian: \ '
The general impression throughout the state upon the best class
of people, the conservative and substantial citizens, is that The
Georgian is the best paper published in the South.
It has been generally understood that it is a clean paper;
that no fake patent medicine advertisements; no thriving “get-
rich” schemes will be held before its renders in full page display,
carrying a stamp of approval by virtue of the quality or reputa-
tibn’of the journal containing the advertisement; also that no
whisky advertisementif appear in The Georgian.
And that The Georgian has adopted or rather began on a
policy advocated by so many of the leading magazines, to let
nothing appear within its column* but reliable nnd honest ad
vertisements exploiting square deals only.
An advertisement in The Georgian carries a stamp of merit,
which increases its value to the advertiser, and no paper can lose
in the long run by such a fair dealing policy.
Reliable advertisers are rapidly learning that it is detrimen
tal to their advertisement to appear on the same page or in the
same paper with fakes and notorious skin game notices. They
are withdrawing their patronage and look suspiciously upon
such papers, and are ever seeking a better and more trustwor-
thv medium. «• K- S.
thy medium.

"REIGN OF TERROR” EDITORIAL
SOUGHT BY CAROLINA CITIZENS.
Special to The Georgian. •
Salisbury, X. C„ Aug. 28.—The Georgian’s great editorial
leader of Thursday has been generally read here and much dis-
■ cussed. The Evening Post reproduced it Saturday, with indorse
ment of its sentiment. When it became known that the paper
had spoken through it* editor upon the “Reign of Terror” there
was a demand for far in excess of the supply. It was discussed
in connection with local conditions.
"BEST PAPER IN THE SOUTH.”
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Although I am a total stranger to you, I write this as a young
man and a citizen of Georgia to express my appreciation of your
newspnper, The Georgian.
In my humble opinion, the editorial page of The Georgian is
the best in the Sonth, and for genuine merit not surpassed by any
such section of any paper in the whole country. All the rest of
(he paper is conducted on an equally high standard, nnd the pa
per as a whole presents to the reader a well-balanced report of
all the news of the day.
I hope that your paper will always be as clean, newsy and re-
liable_ns it is now, and that your circulation will increase as much
as the paper merits. I would like to see The Georgian have a
paid subscription of 50,000 at the end of two years.
With sincere wishes for the success of The Georgian, I am
Respectfully, . O. W. PASSAVAXT.
