The Brunswick Times says: It is said
that Bridges Smith and Daisy Price are to
dance a fandango on Third street during
liie M a coh Carni va 1.
All the heavy cannonading once heard
oil the New England coast and Mole St.
Nicholas now comes from the direction of
ihat dreadful Mt. Vesuvius.
When prize lighters fall out the public
gets its due. The coming together of Cor
bett and McCoy in New York has led to
the discovery that secret articles dividing
the purse were signed by the fighters.
Uncle Russell Sage insisted that the puts
and calls he indulged in were not subject
to the war tax, because they were “privi
leg* s” to buy or sell. 'He finds now that
they are also privileges to pay a tax.
Houston Home Journal: The large num
in r of Georgia farmers who will attend the
M icon Jubilee next week will contradict
theme-selves. Those who are “dead broke”
can’t afford to .participate in the Jubilee.
The Jacksonville Times-Union says: .And
n w we are told that Sherman never said
“War is hell,” but -Charles Summer did.
But practice is more forcible than talk,
anti Georgians will always credit Sherman
with both.
Atlanta claims to have gotten the big

,\tl ns, Albany, and Americus have been
awarded smatterings of troops. There is
only one Atlanta and we have her. Sa

The idea of catching prawn on New
Castle street never occurred to the most
ardent -fisherman, but on Monday a little
darkey playing with a hand net in a pud
ch , captured a large prawn on this busy
thoroughfare.— -Brunswick Times.
Spain seems to be relying upon the hope
that seme of her -big European brothers
will interfere in its behalf in its negotia
tions with the -United States, but she will
find that these big brothers have a very
wholesome respect for Uncle Sam.
Uncle Sam is going to quarter his sol
diers during the cold weather in some of
the pleasantest winter resorts in the coun
try. The climate that is good for weak
lunged visitors from the North will make
the sturdy soldiers all the more brawny
and vigorous.—Savannah News.
Yatesville Enterprise: Most all of the
newspapers in Georgia are talking for the
Carnival to be held in Macon soon. Macon
is a fine city and no doubt her people ..will
succeed with the great show. Pain’s fire
works will be the attraction of the day. ,It
will -be a great thing for the Central City
and we wish her success.
The Savannah Morning News says that
Colonel Ray has never claimed that the
men of his regiment were "immunes”
from hunger and the ill effects of a la;\
of proper food. If the Third regiment
needs fresh beef, it should have it, -by the
ship load, if necessary. The government
lias got the beeves, it has got the ships,
and it has got the money, Joo. Give the
boys steak.
The New York World thinks that Judge
Van Wyck’s nomination was an omen of
victory. Os him ft says: ‘“Judge Van
Wyck meets in a satisfactory way the
three requirements of ‘character, capacity
and courage.’ His service, of fourteen
years on the bench has expanded his
knowledge of law. of government aigl of
human nature. It has developed also the
qualities of sober judgment, judicial fair
ness and intellectual independence that
are so essential in a governor—and so of
o.en lacking!”
One broad-minded and determined citi
zen is worth a thousand times more to a
town than a carload of the sort whose time
is spent principally in wearing out the
seats of their pants and making light of
every new movement. The man who does
nothing for his community further than to
.pay his taxes may be entitled to police
protection, but he is certainly not entitled
to any of the benefits of increased com
merce, and if his -property increases in
value because of the efforts of his neigh
bors he gets that much which is not right
fully his own.—Colboun Times.
Theodore S. Woolsey, professor of inter
national law. at Yale, was interviewed on
the question whether the V Q ited States has
the right to set up a military government
in the Spanish colonies and how far such
rights carry their privileges. “The whole
question is in abeyance at present, await
ing the result of the commission’s action
at Paris. At the present time our rights
are only those under the protocol and by
virtue of military conquests. The protocol
is really a treaty of peace, but is not defi
nite and does not touch upon the details.
It remains for the ePace Commission to
extend and expand the -protocol into .a
treaty cf peace. At present our rights are
those of the conqueror, but extend no
further, and are not defined or limited by
mutual agreement between the two Na
tions. Any just estimate or decision on
the matter of rights in the case must be
jMistponed until the Peace Commission de
cides upon the case in hand.”
Mayor-Elect Woodward.
The mayor-eket of Atlanta was yester
day a: work in bis office as mailing clerk
of the Atlanta Journal. The election of
Mr. James Woodward to the highest office
rn the gift of the people of Atlanta is a
refreshing illustration of the*power of the
plain people at the ballot box. From it the
people cf Atlanta and the people of the
whole state can draw their own conclu
sions.
Mr. Woodward represents the working
men of this country. He is of the people
and from the people—a plain working man,
proud of his calling and proud of hie labor.
He represents-the bone and sinew as well
as the brain of the Gate City, and his elec
tion will do more to elevate Atlanta in the
eyes of the people of the state than any
one thihg that has been done by that city
In the whole course of its history.
The election cf Mr. Woodward will free
Atlanta from the charge of snobbery that
terne of us have been, inclined to lay at its
doors. He is, we understand, a man cf
considerable means, but he has accumula
ted his money by hard work and careful
business methods and strict adherence to
the law’s of honesty, and he has none of the
mistaken social aspirations that go to
make up the unfortunate nouveaux riche
and monied aristocracy of the cities of this
country. Woodward was elected on his
merits. He was elected by a vote of
people tired of the rule of the politicians
and cf men whose ehie-f claim to populari
ty and t fame was the fact that they could
control votes and money. The people of
Atlanta —the American men of Atlanta—
have elected Woodward on his record as an
honest working man. patriotic and wise,
nnd free from the obligations of 'the politi
cian and from the little obligations that
make men slaves in the very midst or free
dom.
We do not doubt that Mr. Woolward
will make Atlanta the best mayor she ha<s
had for many a day and that under his ad
ministration the whole people will receive
impartial treatment and an hc-nest expendi
ture of -public monies.
The News congratulates Mr. Woodward
and the people of Atlanta.
School Statistics.
In view of the special interest in the
subject at this season, the Chicago Times-
Herald has collected some interesting sta
tistics of school matters in the United
States. It appears that the total enroll
ment of children abending the public
school in all the states Is 14,465,371, but
the average daily attendance is only 9,747,-
015. These children are sheltered in 240,-
968 school houses, the aggregate value of
which is $455,948,164. An army cf 400,235
teachers is required to run these schools,
269,959 of whom are females and 130,266
are males. The entire cost of the mainte
nance of all the schools of the country -is
but about $40,000,000 more than the total
yearly payment of the government to its
pensioners, or $181,453,780.
A curious comparison is made between
the educational conditions of the United
States and these of the rest of the world,
in the fact that,while the population of this
country is but one-twentieth of that of the
whole world, the United States possesses
one-third cf all the school children of the
world. The nucleus of the public system of
the United States was made in 1635, when
the city of Boston opened a free school for
■lts children. In 1795 Connecticut was the
first state to create a public school fund,
■though the federal government had ten
years earlier devoted one thirty-sixth of
the public domain of the west to the schools
of the several state.
Look Out for Hobson.
In an article praising Lieutenant Hob
son for the great skill and energy he dis
played in raising and floating the -wreck
of the Spanish armored cruiser Infanta
Marin Teresa, which will soon- become a
valuable audition to the United States
navy, the Washington Times concludes by
giving the young and brilliant officer a bit
of advice, which, perhaps, it will be well
for him to heed. The Times says: “In the
satisfaction which every American must
feel in consequence of Lieutenant Hobson’s
triumphant salvage of the Spanish cruiser
Maria Teresa it should not be forgotten
that his success will bring sorrow to
many a fossil beaurocratic heart. His su
periors, or most of them, had shown con
clusively that the thing could not be done,
and bis action in doing it after that can
only be called little short cf insubordinate.
If the young man lives he will be made to
feel this, and we earnestly exhort him to
square himself by disclaiming all credit
i and declaring that he floated the ship en
tirely on plans issued by Sampson in a
circular letter last spring.”
Sick Soldiers’ Diet,
“Some people,” says the Florida Times-
Union. “wonder why soldiers are sick and
ridicule the idea that the fault lies wkh
: anyone but the regimental or company
commanders, or the climate of Florida.
Not many evenings since 'three convales
cents arrived at the terminal station, with
thirty days’ furloughs snugly tucked away
in their jeans. They discovered on arriv
ing at the station, that they had an hour to
wait before the departure cf their train,
and thi-s is the way they filled the time: A
bottle of whisky 'that had been provided
against the emergencies of travel was con
sumed by the trio. Next a lot of pears
were found and devoured. Wandering
across the street they purchased a pound
of soda wafers, 'and soon the contents of
the package were stored away. Finally, a
small negro came in sight having for sale
a lot of boiled crabs. It was the work of
but a moment for the sick heroes to become
the owners of these delicacies, and they
were soon out of sight. The train, by this
time had been made up, and the soldiers
entered and found their places, and during
the wait before the train pulled ouuof the
station one of the trio exclaimed: ‘‘l de
clare, I don’t feel very well. I am glad I
am going to get out of this cussed climate.
It don’t agree with me a little -bit.”
Gold in Africa.
Gold production of the “Rand” mines in
South Africa is increasing at a prodigious
r£te. In the first eight months of 189 S the
production was 2.697.917 ounces compared
i with in the correspond’ng months
last year, an increase of 807,405 ounces, or
nearly 43 per Cent. Compared with the
corresponding months of 1596, the increase
is over SO per cent.
The increase is largely due to the pro
ductiveness of the deep levels now. after
great expense, just coming to the crusher.
Should the rate of increase be continued
throughout the year, the “Rand” mines
alone will produce this year 4,048 875
ounces at S2O.
Last year the United States led the world
with a production of ever $50,000,000.
The following advertisement appears in
the Portland Oregonian: Wanted —Small

The Treasury Bureau of Statistics has
issued a series of tables, just compiled,
and published the other day in the News’
Associated Press dispatches showing
the remarkable increase in cotton pro
duction and coincidental fall in -price,
which are cf interest at this time, when
the price of cotton is at the lowest point
ever reached. These tables show that rhe
United States, the" chief cotton producer of
the world, has quadrupled ‘its cotton pro
duction since 1872, and that the price of
cotton in the same period has fallen to
about one-fourth that which prevailed in
that year. In 1872 the cotton crop of the
United States is shown to have
084/494 pounds, with an average price of
22.19 cents per pound: in 1898 the crop is
reported at 5,667,372,051 pounds, with an
average price of 6.23 cents per pound. Thus
the production of 1898 is more than four
times that of 1872 and the average price
but a little over one-fourth that of that
year.
While Russia is pushing forward with
all speed the trans-Siberian Railway and
Expects to get the first locomotive through
to Vladisvostok next year, she also is plan
ning other important railway lines which
shall develop Russia proper. This month
she has floated in Berlin very successfully
a $13,000,600 load to construct the Russian
Southwest Railway, doubtless to open up
the Caspian and Black Sea district.
The Columbus (O.) Press-Post says: A
contemporary quotes Mr. Hanna as having
said before the war: “There will be no war
—there is no for war.” Perhaps this
is what Mr. Hanna meant, but it is .not
what he said. In the interest of history
we desire to make a correction. This is
what Mr. Hanna said: ‘‘There ain’t goTn
to be no war—there ain’t no cassius
belly.”

Springfield, Mo.
Gknti.emfn : I commenced taking P.
•P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, last
Fall, for Erysipelas. My face was com
pletely covered with the disease ; I took
a- short course of P. P. P., and it soon
disappeared. This Spring I became
much debilitated and again took an
other course, and I am now in good
condition. I consider P. P. P. one of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a gen
eral tonic to build up the system and
improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
cares to try P. P. P. will not be disap
pointed in its results, and I, therefore,
cheerfully recommend it,

ankle. It grew rapidly, and soon ex
tended from my ankle to my knee. I
got one bottle of your P. P. P., Lipp

ably surprised at the result. The entire
sore healed at once. I think I have
taken almost every medicine recom
mended for scrofula and catarrh, and
your P. P. P. is the best I have ever
tried. It cannot be recommended too
highly for blood poison, etc.
Yours very truly,
