Macon Lady Writes of Her
Experiences Since She
Left for the Island.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS THERE,
As She Found Affairs When She
Landed With Colonel Ray’s
Regiment There.
TIU' following i c an extract from a letter
revived from a Macon lady now on a visit
to <ut>a, and written from Santiago:
"I wrote you from Nassau stating that
we would spend one day there as a part
of our <argo was to be disk barged at that
i.iace The captain gave permission to the
Sadie* to go ashore, and we of course,
were glad to do so, as we knew it would
be quite a treat to visit the island.
• In -the evening the taplaln received a
<•ai.le.gram informing him that a terrible
etorm was blowing off Cuba and to wait at
\‘.i - nt for instructions. it was not long
before the sea was fearful, and th* lighters
could not ‘get to the ship, we were com
pelled to remain on the island much longer
than we expeeted. Our steamer changed
Ju position ami put into Southwest bay
lor safely, and we were compelled to drive
< Igbteen miles across the island and be
carried to the steamer in a life boat. If
you hav< never driven behind a Nassau
horse then Is still something in the list
<>f tills world's miseries in store for you.
You can form -otm id, a of thorn when I
tell you they are a cross between a balk
ing mill- and a Hying beetle. Now you go,
and now you don't. At the end of the ride
n>e alighted at a little thacked shed, and
after waiting about one hour and a half
•we saw the Santiago (our steamer) coming
Into the bay and soon we saw the lite boat
dowered to come after tie. It was dark
When we left the island, the sea very rough
smd ilie - pray drenched us, but we finally
reached the ship. She was running at an
chor and in swinging around she came
very near striking our little boat, and if
*h, had that would have been the last of
your humble servant. We finally got aboard
mid were perfectly content without any
more boat rides We remained In the bay
(four blessed day- t’efore the seq was quiet
enough for lie to continue our trip to Cuba,
(but at last we started, and I was happy
Nassau i- an old English town and quite
a winter resort and a quaint old place,
«l<an and beautiful. The houses are of
etone with tiled floors, and we enjoyed our
stay there very much, but were rather
Um asy about making the return trip to
our s»teamer. Lemons and all kinds of nuts
grow wild mid there are Century plants
ns tall as 1 am. The water is a beautiful
(blue and <dear as crystal. You can see the
fish at a great depth swimming around in
the water. It is amusing to see little naked
children dive for money. We had a very
rough voyage mid while I was not exactly
ria sick. I felt uneasy two days. On the
steamer we had elegant fare and excellent
attention, and the captain was kind and
act ommod.iting to all. The Irish steward
ess interested me from the first, she in
sisted that I should take ten grains of
quinine and some other mild doses before
each breakfast.
“We arrived al Santiago at 6 o’clock a.
an. Monday morning the 6th of November.
'We soon entered the h.lrbor. It is long,
narrow and torturous, and I noticed a
number of block houses all along. The
scenery is grand, it is impossible to im
agine anything more beautiful, and it is
glorious to see the sun rise over old
EVlorro. You can see the camps of the
lAmerican troops on the hills around the
oily, and the city itself. Straggling away
over the bills in every direction. We were
met on the wharf by a crowd of Cuban
Ipatriots, mid some reeoneentrado’s, at
least 1 judged so from their fat stomachs
siml thin legs, or they may have been
illrownies. What pleased my eye most was
a very American looking red mail box.
just like those art home, attached to the
lamp jHist. It reminded me so much of
iiome that 1 wanted to embrace it.
“Immediately on landing we wore met
iliy Colonel Ray with a bright smile on his
face as IM ns. Ray was on board, also Lieu
tenant Colonel Wylly, wearing the silver
leaf very gracefully. They are both look
ing splendidly. Colonel Ray was exceed
ingly kind to me and made all ‘arrange
ments for me to go to Barricoa to join my
husband, as he does not <now that I am
H oming, would like to have a snap shot of
blm when he sees me. Santiago, like Nas
sau. is a very quaint old town with narrow
streets, all the houses have tiled roofs and
Hours, and the sides all windows and doors.
A\ e went to the Cathedral to mass. It Is
lovely and the music and paintings are
•trand. We have been receiving callers all
•lay. All the military officers from Gen
eral Wood down have called on us. and a
. -Mies Brooks, daughter of a wealthy Amer
ican sugar planter and a lovely girl also,
•■ailed. We are going to visit the battle
fields tomorrow. General Wood spoke in
the highest terms of Colonel Ray’s regi
ment and the very fact that you belong to
the Third regiment United States Volun
teer Immunes is an open sesame to the
hear s of the people. 1 will reach Barrack
Saturday, the 12th of November. Oh happy
•lay!
I hear that the health of the regiment
is greatly improved. most of the men
(being now on duty and ready for any ser
s ice that they may be called to perform.”
PANSY CIRCLE
Held a Meeting at the Public Library this
Morning,
The Pansy Circle meeting held this
morm.ng in the parlor of the Public Li
brary was decidedly the most encouraging
meeting of f.he Circle |ip to this time.
Evtry tmmbvi was present ami endorsed
with enthusiasm the plan of work pro
posed.
The Christmas Work of the Circle was
discussed at length. It was resolved to
cake up the work fit once byway of prepa
ration so that everything may be in per
fect working order by Christmas. Christ
mas stockings for the children of the
poor and for forgotten and neglected chil
dren Will again be filled and and distri
buted as they were last year.
A Chris.nuts tree will be arranged for
the children of the Kindergarten. In this
the Pansy Circle of course will be aided
by the regular association and the Young
Ladies’ Auxiliary. The Christmas stock
ng effort is not within the Circle’s Free
Kindergarten work but it is part of that
•mtside charity work for which the Circle
is always quietly looking out.
Mis* Ella Reese and Clara Require will
nave charge of the literary program of the
next meeting which will be held as usual
on Saturday morning at 10 o’clock in the

been invited and the ’occasion will no
doubt be a pleasant one.
■Card's band will furnish the music. A
large number of people will attend and
the dance will doubtless be a-swell affair.
OUR STATE’S FINANCES
(Continued from first page.)
duly 1. The total estimated receipts to
July 1, Including the increased revenue
named, is $5,446,958.47. .Deducting it from
the estimated expenditures, which is $2,-
905J29.26, would leave >n«tbe treasury a
net balance of 1541,829.21 at the close
of the second quarter, July 1, 1S!h8.
“What would you suggest?”
“Since the miscarriage of one piece of
legislation in the interest of the schools
has been the chief cause of the tJreeent
trouble, and wince the only very large in
crease made for any purpose has been in
the interest of the schools, I think they
should submit to some temporary neduc
titgi which cannot seriously affect them,
but one w'hich will result in ultimately
putting them on a sounder basis. .1 do not
advise that the amount .raised for the
school purpoe.ee be reduced, but that the
amount available for payments in 1899 be
reduced. The question of income and rev
enue xs settled if the school fund for 1899
from direct tax be placet! at SBOO,OOO,
w'hich in view of its increased income
from the penitentiary of $60,000 .would
only be a decrease of $140,000, leaving the
net income of the schools from ail source*;
one and one-half million—just $140,000
Jews than in 1898. In order then to put
the schools on a better basis for 1900, I
think that the income from property in
excess of 412,000,000 in 1899 should be
aildej. to the school fund to the amount of
$200,000; which should not be paid out in
1899, but carried over to 1900, to be added
to tjje $800.0*8) appropriated for that year.
■Under I iris plan we would probably raise
as much money in 1899 as 1898 for the
schools, although $200,000 of it would not
be expended until the next year. In ma
king this concession the friends of the
school and pension appropriations should
demand that no appropriations for any
purjMse be made until a bill for tax re
form has been enacted which will war
rant the conclusion that enough of the
property of tax dodgers will be placed
upon the tax digest to Increase the school
revenue for 1900 from the tax on property
in excess of $412,000,000. If the tax re
form bill is not acted upon until after the
friends of these appropriations have per
mitted the reductions sugested, its
chances of passage, which is essential to
the raising of the $200,000 for use in 1900,
■which is to be deducted from the million
dollar appropriation for 1899 will be large
ly decreased.”
"Do you think it practicable to mate
rially increase the amount of property
now returned for taxes?”
“I do. By proper legislation I am cer
tain that we can increase this amount to
an extent that will not only enable us to
raise the aditional $200,00 to cover the
reduction of that amount from the school
fund, but to authorize a reduction of the
present tax rate.
“If a bill is passed on the line of that
introduced by Hon. R. W. Freeman, chair
man of the ways and’ means committee
of the house, to require all property sub
ject to taxation to be placed on the tax
digest and bear its share of the burden
of taxation, there will be a large increase
In tax values and a large revenue
from property which it purposed
to be raised in 1897, which now
bears no part of the public
burden. 1 have for years urged the gen
eral assembly to do 'this, and am glad to
believe that there is now a reasonable
probability of seeing such a law enacted.
There is in my opinion nearly $200,000,000
of personal and other property in this
state which escapes taxation. If $50,000,-
000 of this can be placed on the rtax books
it will yield a revenue of $300,000. From
this source alone the state can raise more
than enough money to raise the $200,000
for the school fund, and be enabled when
the time arrives for the governor and
comptroller-general to fix the tax rates
to fix one lower than the rate for this
year.
“To this there could be added a consid
erab.c increase in revenue by a tax on
inheritances and requiring telegraph and
telephone companies to pay an ad valorem
tax. The property of the Western Union
Telegraph company alone has been valued
by a reputable authority at $128,000,000.'
A fair valuation of that portion of the
property lying in this state would largely
increase the amount now paid by that
company and would affect other companies
the same way. The amount now paid by
the Southern Express company is $3,500.
When we consider the volume of business
done by express companies in Georgia
and the value of their franchises it can
bo readily understood that justice de
mands that there be a large increase of
revenue from this source. These addition
al sources of revenue would materially aid
in reducing the tax rate. 1 cannot con
ceive that any representative would prefer
to attack old veterans and school chil
dren to making all property bear its just
Share of the public burden. In requiring
property of telegraph and telephone com
panies to pay an ad valorem tax, as other
property is taxed, instead of the tax it
now pays, an additional advantage gained
would be that it would require of tin m
also a tax for county and municipal pur
poses, which, in my judgment would be
entirely just.”
“What is the cause of this determined
effort to reduce pensions and cut the
school appropriation ’to $600,000?”
“Much of this comes. I believe, from the
tax dodgers who are anxious to divert at
tention from the effort to make them pay
on property which now escapes taxation.
The pension list Should not be disturbed,
beyond purging it of those not entitled to
receive pensions under the letter and
spirit of th law, as it now exists, if Uiere
be such on the pension rolls. I am op
posed to reducing the school fund $400,-
000 and hope the general assembly will
do nothing to impair the efficiency of the
schools of Georgia. There should be no
backward step in our school interests. The
money spent for this object goes back
among the people, improves society and
benefits all. Those who have children to
educate will find the cheapest way to edu
cate them is by aiding the state in main
taining the efficient' common school sys
tem. Those who have property and po.
children ought not to object to a proper
school tax because it is the advantage of
the country and of society, and having no
children they are the better able to pay
the tax than those who have. There is no
danger of our statei impoverishing itself
or its citizens by raising a tax for school
purposes, which is again sent into circula
tion among the people, not one dollar of
which is spent outside of the state. I
hope that the general, assembly will un
derstand that to seriously impair the com
mon schools of the state is a blow at the
rural districts and at the country people.
The cities and towns will adjust their tax
rate to a nine months school and give to
their children the best advantages that
can be had, unaffected by any reduction
of the school fund by the general assem
bly. The blow which the members of the
general assembly is asked to Strike at the
common schools will fall alone upon the
rural population, decrease their advan
tages and the opportunities of their chil
dren, while every advantage now enjoyed
by town and city children is continued in
force. This blow ought not to be struck,
and I do not believe it will be.”
“Do you think the assault upon the
school and pension appropriations will
succeed ?”
"I feel sure that it will not. Following
close upon a campaign in, which every
candidate for governor proclaimed him
self the friend of these appropriations, its
success would be remarkable, if not start
ling. Under the circumstances it would
be an extraordinarily surprising victory
should the tax dodger prevail against the
interest of the honest tax payer who
gives in all of hTs property at a fair valu
ation, against the interest of the Confed
erate pensioner whose right to a pension
is now challenged by the tax dodger and
against the interest of the children upon
the development of whose minds depends
the material and intellectual progress of
the state.”

A number of bags 30 feet long susjx'nded
in a framework formed the filtering me

before its entry into the building. The
bags hung vertically and the dust tended
to settle at the bottom of the same. A

The most interesting use to which co
rier have ever been put will be on
the occasion of the coronation of the young
Queen Wilhelmina of Holland. In Am
sterdam on that day no fewer than 6,00©
homing pigeot.-c, collected from every por

in she public square at the rear of thw
famous Ryy museum, and at a prear
ranged moment, when the young sovereign
drives into the square to be acclaimed by
her loving subjects, the birds will receive
their freedom and will carry to every part
of Holland the tidings that the coronation

Erysipelas
Two Diseases That Cause Their
Victims to Bs Shunned by
Their Fellow-Man.
SpRTNGFnti.n, Mo.
Gewti.kmen : 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 1 became
much debilitated and again took an
other course, xml 1 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, therefor®,
oheerfully recommend it.

Erysfpelas and Scrofula cured by P.
P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, surely
and without fail.
Springfield, Mo.
Gentlemen: Last June I had a
scrofulous sore which broke out on my
ankle. It grew rapidly, and soon ex
tended from my ankle to my knee. I
got one bottle of your P. P. P., Lipp
man's Great Remedy, and was agree
ably surprised at the result. The entire
■ora healed at ones. 1 think I have
taken almost every medicine recom
mended for scrofula aud catarrh, and
four P. P. P. is the best I have ever
ri»d. It cannot be recommended too
highly for blood poison, etc.
Ycurs very truly,
W. P. HUNTER.
P. P. P. cures all blood and skin dis
ease, both in men and women.
Rheumatism, which makes man’s life
a hell upon earth, can be relieved at
once by P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Rem
edy. It makes a PERMANENT cure.
P P. P. is the great and only remedy
for advanced cases of catarrh. St.op-
Eage of the nostrils and difficulty in
reathing when lying down, P. P. P.
relieves at once.
P. P. P. cures blood poisoning in all
ita various stages, old ulcers, sores and
Iridney complaints.

The Think
I’ll-Just-Try-It-Once
Advertisers must remember that
before direct results can be ob
tained from an ad it has got to do
the missionary work of educating
the people to the fact that his
etore is just as good and just as
reliable as his better known com
petitors. And when you remember
the reason why 'his competitors
are better known is because they
advertise to secure their reputa
tion and standing, and are still
advertising in order tb hold this
ground, you can better understand
the hard up-hill work the mis
j si on ary ads have to do.
