Paris, Nov. 14.—J t is decided that there
will be no joint sessions of -the peace com
mission today.
Secretary Moore of the United States
commission received from Secretary Ojeda
of the Spanish commission this morning a
note saying that the Spanish commissioners
had found it Impossible to prepare the
memorandum for presentation today, and
asking if the United States commissioners
would be In (ton vie need if, owing to the
late arrival from Madrid of the expected
•date the Spaniards should request that the
next meeting be deferred until Wednes
day.
Secretary Moore replied that the Ameri
can commissioners were quite ready to ac
momimojato the Spanish commissioners in
this .mar.ter and the session is practically
•deferred until Wednesday next.
importance Is ataehed |*> this delay, it
bd.ng regarded as indicating that the
• Spanish commissioners are preparing for a
final stand on the negotiations and it 'may
mow be definitely stated that they will not.
•sign a treaty of poaee which yields to
(Spain no more from the Philippine islands
cth»n 'has thus far 'been offered or indi
wated l>y the Americans.
Should the latter announce that the
United States are only willing ,to reim
burse Spain for specific expenditures on
the Philippine islands the Spanish com
missioner* will reply that their mission
is finished.
Shouki this occur it is possible itheSpan
iards will also suggest the suspension of
'negotiations through the commission and
tie' resumption of negotiations between
'Madrid and Washington. This attitude of
the Spaniards is explained by the fact that
the members of the Spanish commission
have ixdltloal alliances and Jhe personal
responsibilities to their constituencies and
national creditors of 'Spain would restrict
them on certain lines, which is as far as
:tho ministry at Madrid cares to go.
It is pointed out that if the five Span
ish commissioners here signed the treaty
ytklWing the Philippine islands to the Uni
ted States without lessening Spain's debt
tn an appreciable amount they would not
jreturn home with then rospect of any po
litical future before them and possibly be
in danger of violence at the hands of
mobs.
At the next meeting of the commissions
the Americans will learn the definite atti
tude of Spain on any proposition thus far
made. The Spaniards, however, in this
presentations will not declare all the ne
gotiations closed. They insist on the
sovereignty of Spain over the Philippines
boyond question.but will announce Spain’s
readiness to yield that sovereignty for an
adequate equipment and will then invite
mwtiations under the Spanish construc
tion of the protocol. The American com
missioners may they communicate their
final altitude to the Spaniards, 'but the
Americans expected at a future meeting
-to present a carefully prepared conclusion
■of their contention and conditions. Should
they be different, from those already pre
sented the time will then have arrived
•when Spain will declare herself helpless
though steadfast, and* will await the next
step of the United States, whatever it
may be.
Thus Spain will be able to say to her
•creditors that she has done her utmost
and the issue must .between them and
rhe United States.

New York. Nov. 14.—A special to the
Herald from 'Madrid says:
Nearly all the heads of the diplomatic
corps have caMed to the ministry for for
eign affairs to inquire what importance is
to be atached to 'the visit of the German
emperor.
The government has made little of the
matter and it has intimated that it ac
cepts as an inevitable outcome of events
being forced to relinquish the sovereignty
of Spain in the Philipines.
The visit of Emperor William has ex- i
cited the greatest interest in England and
France and the representatives of both '
countries have been particularly eager un
dec instructions from their governments ■
tn asking for details. They, have been as- .
sured that the visit here of the Spanish -
umbassador in Berlin is purely casual and 1
that under the circumstances it is nothing i
less than natural.
The more staid portion of the political .
world does not attach much importance |
to the imperial visit and looks upon it ae
perhaps merely serving to arouse hopes
which cannot be realized.
It remains, however, at the present mo
ment a matter of political record that
there exists a sentiment here that France
of late has been of email utility to Spain
in spite of her assurance of friendship and
perhaps the Philippine clause of the pro
tocol has much to do 'with the origin of
this sentiment. The queen regent is cred
ited with a desire to seek assistance from
more northern empires and it is true she
would not prefer to be allied with the tri
ple alliance rather than with <he Franco
ftussian combination.
; CONSTRUCTION COURSE.
For Cadets Will Be Established at Annap
olis.
By Associated Press.
New York, Nov. 14--A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
It la expected that the board, of which
Rear is president, will as
semble this week at Annapolis for the pur
pose of establishing a construction course
for the education of cadets. Naval Con
structor Hobson established such a course
a year ago at the naval academy but It
was not entirely satisfactory to the de
partment, and Rear Admiral Howell, with
two constructors, was ordered to prepare
a course to take its place.
The department has been very much
embarrassed in this direction since the
withdrawal‘by France and England of the
privileges hitherto accorded American
naval cadets of undergoing training in
construction in the technical schools at
Greenwich and Paris.
Secretary Long has completed that por
tion of his annual report recommending
to congress that it amend the civil service
laws so as ,o permit preference to be
shown to applicants for appointments who
have served in the Spanish war. Prefer
ence is noiv, shown to civil war veterans
but the secretary feels that such prefer
ence should now be extended to those who
participated in the recent struggle. lit is
believed that a measure adopting the re
commendation will be passed.
■A fifteen-inch plate representing a
group of armor for the barbettes of the
battleship Alabama will be tested this
week at the Indian Head proving grounds.
The plate is practically the same as that
recently tested for the barbette of the bat
tleship Wisconsin.
Civil Engineer F. Chambers has receiv
ed his orders to proceed to Samoa but has
not started for that point as was recently
announced. 'He will only start for Apia
when the store house and pier have been
completed and in such shape that all will
be necessary upon arrival at their destina
tion will be 'to put them together.
GOOD _ MAN GONE.

Doctor John Ingalls Died Yes
terday Morning—Funer
al Tomorrow.
Dr. John Ingalls died yesterday morn
ing at a few minutes after 12 o’clock mid
n igblt.
The funeral will take place at 11 o’clock
tomorrow morning from 'St. Joseph’s Ca
tholic church of which the deceased was a
devout member.
Or. Ingalls has, for the last two or
three years, been a.sufferer from heart
disease and a sudden ending of his life
was anticipated by his physician, his fam
ily and his friends.
But notwithstanding this preparatior
the announcement of his death was (
shock that spread a gloom over a larg J
part of this community in which he h' J
lived, an honored, respected and be hr
citizen for more than a quarter of a c
teury.
Few men have lived out their years to
almost the allotted span and maintained
so high a standard of character among
their fellows as did the good man whose
end came so suddenly, yet peacefully, jn
the first few moments of the Sabbath day.
'He had been at his business during the
day. and, as was his custom, returned
■home rather late after 'the work of the day
was done. While preparing to retire he
was seized with an attack resulting from
the condition of his heart, and ’Dr. Met
tauer was summoned. The doctor saw
almost immediately 'that his patient was
beyond human aid. The end came almost
imperceptibly. There was nothing but 3
sigh to mark the passage from life to
death, and a great and good soul went to
its reward in the home of the Father. A
loving wife and sister, his sole ctynpanions
and the center of his existence.were beside
him to bid the last farewell, and in their
great sorrow friends join in sympathetic
mourning, the sincerity of which is un
feigned and deep.
Dr. Ingalls was a native of South Caro
line. He ppme to Macon while the tow*i
was still young and since coming here he
has .been engaged ip the drug business.
He was between sixty and seventy years
of age. but to the last he maintained his
vigor*of mind. Notwithstanding his full
knowledge of the critical eenmtion of his
health his courage never failed him and
to the last he bore the burden of his daily
work.
A courteous, kindly , modest gentle
man he lived and walked among his fellow
men winning and holding their respect
and affection. He was for some time an
aiderman. but never’ mixed actively in
politics though offered frequently posi
tions of honor in the eity. He was a
valued and active member of the board of
health and always took a deep interest tn
the affairs of the city and state. A man
of education and refinement he selected
his close friends carefully and was ever
ready with assistance and advice to the
younger men. This advice was good and
valuable and the example he .set cannot
but encourage others to better and nobler
things.
In his profession as a pharmacist he had
no superior. A member of the national
association he took a great pleasure in the
meetings of that organization, the attend-
I ance on which was one of the few, and of
j late years, the only relaxation he took
I from work. His wife and sister. Miss
I Emily Giles, are the only members of his
family, and they have the deepest sym-
I pathy of hundreds of friends who sorrow
i with them in their affliction.
The funeral will be held at 11 o’clock
i tomorrow morning from set. Joseph's Ca
; tholic church: interment at Riverside. The
i following gentlemen will act as pall bear
i ers: Messrs. H. J. Lamar, John S. Hoge,

New York, Nov. 14.—'A dispatch to the
Herald from Havana describes the arrival
there of Gen. Garcia and his fellow en
voys, enroute to Washington on a mis
sion from the Cuban government. They
journeyed from Santa Cruz del Sur to
Battabano, on the south coast by steam
er. As the boat neared the wharf in Bat
i tabano there was seen a strong battalion
of Spanish troops drawn up as a guard of
honor for the reception of the commission
ers;
i The Cubans at first 'thought that some
objection was to be made to Garcia’s land
ing. This, however, was marked by no
incident and he quietly 'boarded the train
at Battabano and at all stations along the
route large crowds of . spectators
out to see the Cuban leader. With the
exception of a few cheers there were no
demonstrations until the train stopped at
Cienaga, a few mike from Havana.
There a comission of officers from Meno
cal's caitnp at Marianao awaited his ar
rival and many prominent Cuban resi
, dents of Havana were also gathered 'there.
Among them were Frederick Mera. Leyte
Vida'l, Brigadier General Armando Rivas
and Capt. Ramon Mendonza, formerly aid
, to Gen. Law ton at Santiago.
; 'Owing to the distunbances in the city
Cubans were strongly of the opinion (that
Garcia should not enter Havana, and it
wa% believed he would leave the train at
Cienaga and go from there to 'Mariano.
Contrary to these expectations, he return
ed to enter the city, principaly with the
object of seeing his mother. He left the
train at Carlos Tercero, the next station
to the terminus at Villa Neuva. There a
huge crowd awaited him and it iwas 'With
difficulty that he was able to escape. One
of the first to meet the general was Per
fect© Lacoste, president of the Cuban jun
ta. lHe was presented to the other mem
bers. iMany ladles were present, several

PRIZE MONEY
■ EDRJAILORS
Captain Sigsbee of the St.
Paul Will Receive First
Apoointment.
SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS
• 111
Will Be Distributed Among the Offi
cers and Men of His Ship —
Other Prize Money.
By Associated Press.
New York, Nov. 14—'A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Captain Sigsbee, who commanded the
Maine, will be the first officer of the navy
to secure an allotment of prize money on
account of the war with Spain.
The judge advocate general Os the navy
has transmitted to the fourth auditor of
the treasury the legal documents in the
case of the British collier, (Restormel,,
which was captured by Captain Sigsbee
when in command of the auxiliary cruiser
St. iPaul off Santiago to which port the
steamer waswboun-d in an attempt to de
liver coal to Cervera’s squadron. Had the
mission of the Restormel been successful
it is not likely that the Spanish vessels
would have remained so long as they did
in Santiago harbor, especially as they
would have escaped before Admiral Samp
son had an opportunity to establish the’
systematic blockade which eventually re
sulted in*their swift destruction.
Although the Restormel was released by
the American prize .court, her cargo was
declared within ihe prize statutes and was
appraised at $13,000. According to the law
half of this amount goes to the govern
ment and the other half to the officers and
crew of the vessel making ithe capture.
The treasury department is fully prepared
to make the payments at once and within
a few days it is expected that government
checks will be mailed to all aboard the St.
Paul entitled to participate in the $6,500
including the employes of the American
line who volunteered for service on. the
steamer when she iwas commissioned in
the navy. As 'Captain Sigsbee at the time
of the capture was acting independently
of any superior officer he will receive the.
maximum share allowed to a command
ing officer toy the statutes which is three
twentieths of the net proceeds of the prize,
amounting in this instance of $075, the
remaining $5,525 being divided among all
others borne unon the books of the ship
at the rates of their respective pay. Had
the Restormel been of equal or superior
force to the St. Paul none of the money
would have been ‘ decreed ,to the United
States but the entire prize would have
gone to the St. Paul.
The navy department is rapidly com
pleting the adjudication of the numerous
prize awards resulting from the war and
in. a few weeks most of them will ibe paid.
The case of the Restormel was finished
first covering the destruction 'because it
was the simplest, the most complex being
that of the Spanish fleet in 'Manila ihanbor
by Admiral Dewey’s squadron and that of
the battle of July 3, the latter involving
by far the greatest amount of money and
presenting the greatest difficulty. Admiral
Sampson will get one-twentieth of ’the
bounty of Cervera's fleet and Admiral
Schley one-fiftieth.
TEACHER RESIGNS.'
Miss Mary Lou Sullivan Has Left the Alex
ander Free School.
Miss 'Mary Lou Sullivan has resigned
her position as teacher in the Alexander
Free School, much to t'he regret of the
Board of Education and especially to the
pupils of the school and her associates.
Miss Sullivan was placed as a teacher
at the Alexander Free School this term,
which may be regarded as (~ high copipli
ment. The fact that the Alexander school
.has been made a training school for the
Normal School pupils gives the teachers
there a high standing.
FIRST GEORGIA
Will Be Mustered Out of the
Service Next Friday.
The members of the Firs£ wi|Jt)p
finally discharged from the sendee of |h«
United States Friday. The men have
long 'been 'waiting for this time to come
and are now rejoicing over the fact that
phey will be out of the for good.
Everything, is in shape for the Anal
muster out and lhe paymaster is expected
in tomorrow.
It will take about $50,000 to pay off the
regiment the last time. Some of the pri
vates will draw as much as $75 and the
sergeants and corporals wjli get over SIOO.
The officers will draw their usual pay
and out of it they will have to pay for
many articles that have been lost by the
men. Some of the officers will have to
pay out as much as SSO for articles that
were lost by the men. >
The mustering officers have everything
checked up and will toe ready to turn the
regiment out as soon as the men are paid
off. Only a few members of the regiment
will have to remain in the service on ac
count of physical disability. Those who
will have to remain will be sent to the
hospital at Fort McPherson ansi will pa
kept there Until they recover.
The Second Georgia will not be retained
In the seiwice as not enough men could be
secured to fill the quota. The government
has ordered the mustering out officers to
Atlanta and the men will be discharged in
a few days. The total number of men
that would have gone from the First
Georgia would not have amounted to 75
and i-t was thought not over the same
number would remain in the Second Geor
gia.
The two regiments are recognized te be
the best volunteer regiments in the ann.v
and® they would have (been allowed to re
main in had not the rule that the first
mustered in should be the first mustered
out been made toy the war department.
The men were all clamoring to get out,
however, and the war department was
flooded with petitions asking for dis
charges. Col. Lawton is recognized as
the best colonel in the volunteer service.
Many of the regular officers say that it is
a pity that they have not more men in the
regular army like him. All of the men of
the regiment hate to part from each other,
tout all are anxious to get out as seen as
possible,

Negro Editor of Wilmington,
Tells How Came to Write
Obnoxious Editorial.
10* II ISllffl Pill
Where He Went He Was Warned to
Leave the City of Wilmington
—Lost His Pile.
By Associated Press.
New York, Noy. 14.—A dispatch to the
•Herald from Aebury Park, N. J., says:
A. L. Manly, editor of the Wilmington
(N. C.) 'Record, whose office was destroy
ed by white citizens on Thursday, is now
in Asbury Park with his brother-in-law,
•Rev. I. N. Giles. He fled from Wilming
ton to escape probable lynching by the
mob which had sworn to have his life. It
was through an editorial in the Record
that the recent rioting in Wilmington and
the atendant loss of life came abowt.
When seen Manly said that while he
was perfectly willing to tell the story of
his troubles as far as he himself was con
cerned he could not make it public atpres
■ent as the safety of might be af
fected.
'Manly said it all grew out of the fact
that the much 'talked of editorial in the
Record had been misquoted by the press
of 'North Carolina and only parts of it had
been printed with editorials tending to in
flame the whites of the South. This he
said had been done to try to scare the
white voters for political effect. He d*id
not seem to think that the editors of the
papers which had started the blaze of riot
realized the harm which would 'follow the
articles printed in their papers. The edi
torial which appeared in the Record,Manly
said, was caled forth by a speech’ made by
Mrs. Felton before the agricultural so
ciety of Tybee Island, Ga., early in Au
gust. 'During her spech iMrs. Felton said
that money which was collected for for
eign missions could be spent to a 'better
advantage at home in educating young
white girls. She said that owing to the
carelessness of poor white men of the
'South their girls are left victims of the
colored men. Then she spoke occording to
Manly’s statement of the low moral stand
ing of the colored .race. He says she ad
vocated lynching as the only means of
eradicating these evils.
Manly’s editorial in the Record was a
reply to Mrs. Felton’s speech. This edi
torial inflamed a large portion of Neorth
'Carolina. Manly says he did not intend to
attack’ any class or race, but simply wrote
as he did io defend the defamed colored
man. In this editorial Many said:
“Poor White men are careless in the
matte, of protecti'ng their women, es
pecially on the farms. They are careless
of their conduct toward them, and our ex
perience among poor white people in the
country teaches us that women of that
race are not more particular in the matter
of clandestine meetings with colored men
then are the white men with colored wo
men. 'Meetings of this kind go on for
some time until the woman's Infatuation
or the man’s boldness brings attention to
them and the man is lynched.”
The very long editorial from Which the
above is taken was published on August
18. Manly says that for nearly a week
■after it was printed nothing was said to
him about it by the residents of Wilming
ton or vicinity and his relations with them
were of the usually friendly nature until
the white press took up the matter nearly
a week later. From that time until now
they have attacked 'him and his paper bn
every conceivable way until at last he was
compelled to flee for his life.
When asked as to the present situaUon
at Wilmington Manly said he had been
absent for several days and he preferred
np| to be quoted as expressing an opinion
on that subject.
'When asked if he intended to return to
North Carolina he replied that that was
another question which he could not an
swer at present.. There were facts con
nected with that part of the story whi«h
might affect others and he thought it
would be best not to say anything about
his futiwe prospects.
Manly would not tell how much 'his
losses were at the hands of the mob. All
he would say was that he had lost every
thing he owned in the world. He carried
an insurance On his property, but he said
there was no clause in the policy which
insured against the fury of a mob.
BADLY BEATEN.
Georgia Lost to the University of North Car-,
olina Saturday.
The University of Georgia football team
was defeated Saturday afternoon by the
team from Carolina by a score of 44 to 0.
The Georgia boys were greatly surprised
and so were the spectators. The Carolina
men were in excellent trim and at no
point in the game could Georgia resist the
terrific onslaught of the “Tar Heels”
backs. From the first of the game lit was
seen that Georgia was out-classed and it
was only a question as to how much the
score would be.
Georgia would probably have held thd
score down had not Coach McCarthy taken
out Mclntosh and McCutcheon, two of
Georgia’s star players. They were playing
fine ball but their work djd not suit Mc-
Carthy and he replaced them with substi
tutes. The work of the Carolina team was
the Ebesit that has ever been seen in Ma
con. Their interference was perfect and
it was almost iimnossible to burst It up.
Graves, theii*full back, ploughed through
Georgia’s tackles for five and ten yards
time after time and he is the best line
bucker ever seen on the field here. ,
The Georgia boys did not get the ball
on dwons a single time and when they did
get it they could make no gains. dyßisnou
played a magnificent gflme fqr Georgia and
made some of the most brilliant tackle*
eves seen »n Macop. The wprk Huff
and Jones for Georgia 1? al 3o worthy of
mention.
McCutcheon was also playing a star
game until the time be was put out.
Coach Reynolds, of the Carolina team,
said after the game that he was expecting
to beat Georgia 20 to 0, but was surprised
at the big score, while counted by the
Eastern rules would be 59 to 0,
The Georgia boys took their defeat
gracefully and say that next year they will
defeat the “Ta* Heels” or leave the grid
iron forever. They say that they will de
feat Auburn or die tn the attempt. The
Georgia team left for Athens at 8 o’clock
and the Carolinians left for Auburn at
7:10 o’clock Sunday night.

ATTACKED SIN IN GENERAL
A Characteristic Sermon by the
Evangelist—He Hit Heavy Licks
All ’Round Him.
The prohibition tent was decidedly
“wet” yesterday afternoon when Rev. Sam
P. Jones had announced his address "To

Notwithstanding the .wetness, however,
the tent was filled. Fully 2,000 men of
all sorts and all conditions of life gathered
to hear the great Evangelist on the sub

The setvtciis opened with the singing of
the temperance hymn composed by Rev.

which was taken up by the whole audi
ence.
Mr. Jones advanced to the front of the
platform under a shower of leakage from
the roof and invited the dry men to some
dry seats In front. The wet men he said
could stay true to their principles.
IHe began, by saying that Sam Jones was
always to be found wfith the bottom dog
except when he was away at dinner and
then he would be back In a few minute®-.
He was there he said to give a plain,
honest and candid talk to the audience.
He had nothing against individuals. He
was fighting principles, but every man has
his number and when you hit the number
the bell rings. In all his twenty-six years
of work, Mr. Jones said, that he had never
taken anything back because h# never
said anything that was not true. He ac
knowledged that he did not use the most
polished style in his speeches but said that
he could not do that and make his talks
appropriate to his audience,
Mr. Jones took his text from the Bible
words “Escape for their Life.”
He said that every man had a fear of
physical death and avoided those things
that caused death. Equally so should
every man fear moral death and avoid sin
which caused that death. Sin it is, he
said, that makes drunkards and prosti
tutes, that brings sorrow to homes and
drives women and children to despair.
There are men, he said, who will say
'•’lf I take a drink it is nobody’s business.
I iam not fighting liquor because liquor bas
never done me any harm. There were
scores in his audience he said, who felt
that way but they were mistaken. Home
and character and country is every main’s
business and home and character and
country are suffering as the result of
whisky drinking.
Mr. Jones said he did teot live In Macon
and thanked God that he did mot. The
town must be cleaned un before he could
live here for if there is anything ithiat the
devil wants that Macon has not got it is
because the people of Macon don’t know
it. The only difference between Macon
and hell is that Macon has some good
people and a river none of which can be
found In hell.
What the devil wants done In Macon,
Georgia, .can 'be done and has been done
with the consent of Itwo-thinds of the
people.
Let a man run for office In Macon with
the Ten 'Commandments as his platform
and another run on the program of the
past and present adminlstratian and the
latter will win two to otic,
Mr. Jones attacked the little dogs who
walked about w|th their tails between
their legs and would not say where they
stood. He urged them to curl their tails
over their backs and hold up their heads
cr cut their tails off.
He took up Blasphemy- as the first sin
which he would attack. He jumped on the
“old cussers’’ with both feet and said that
the legislature of Georgia should pass a
bill for separate cars for cussers so that
they might go there and spend out their
profanity beyond the hearing of decent
people.
If a man cusses it is not all he will do,
said Mr. Jones. He would not say that if
a man would cuss he would of necessity
steal, but he might as well break one
commandment as another,
“Sabbath desecration" was the next
subject and was handled without gtoVas,
though My. said that the side daorJ
to the saloons had been closed during the
campaign. There were few young men
who would care for their mothers to know
how they had spent Sunday.
Mr. Jones said that the police force of
Macon is as good as it can be under the
circumstances. They arrest the negroes for
crap shooting, but let the white men go
who should be arrested. But, said Mr.
Jones, a negro who shoots craps is a snow
Lank of par ty beside ihe man wia sells
whisky on Sunday.
Apd yet, he said, the negroes are going
to vote with that gang which is for whis
ky from snout to tail. Macon, he said, is
a whisky soaked town and cannot 'be
cleaned up because the whisky gang don’t
want it.
He referred to the anti-prohibition arti
cles which he sai(f emanated from old
sore backed politicians even down to old
Boies, who wanted to be president, but
couldn’t. He advised those who wanted
to know the facts about Atlanta in prohi
bition times to write to Sam Inman, E. P.
Chamberlain or to W. A. Hemphill and
paid a high tribute to those men.
“Gambling” was the next sin.
Mr. Jones said that the grand jury was
after gamblers but that anything .the Bibb
county grand jury went after was a dead
duck. He said that John Candler, of the
Atlanta circuit would clean up the town
make the grand jurie« do their duty. But
the judge of the Macon circuit could not
holler “Sick 'em. boys,” he just whispered
it. Mr. Jones dented that he was attack
ing the Macon judges, but he did say that
gambling helte and brothels had as much
chance in Macon as any other business.
In conclusion, being hastened by the
heavy rains and the darkness, Mr. J<jne«
attacked "Intemperance” as a sin.
He told the story from his own life
drawing a strong picA Ure of the result of
intemperance that had driven the roses
from hi.s .wife’s cheeks, had sent his
nephey to the penitentiary and a suicide’s
grave and his sister to her bed for life, an
invalid.
The services with a stirring hymn
and hundreds of people shook hands with
Mr. Jones and pledged him their support.

We don’t insult the intelligence of our reading
constituency by indulging in mottoes, drivel, twad
