A Brilliant Young Writer.
Mr. 1 ). G. Bickers, the brilliant
young city editor of the Harmony
Grove Echo, is editing a column of
“bright verse and humorous prose”
in the Atlanta Saturday Evening
Journal,as well as one in the Echo,
which is winning for him many
friendly criticisms and complimen¬
tary words of praise.
Dannie is a very bright and
versatile writer, and gives great
promise of early taking rank among
the best literary writers of our
state.
He was for a while a student of
Emory college, but was compelled
to give up his studies on account of
ill health.
Being the * » Nephew of His Un¬
cle,” the Star is watching his ca
rcer with peculiar interest and
pride,and wishes for him the greatest
measure of success in the journalis¬
tic and literary’ field.
First Honor Bestowed,
The first honor at the girls’ high
school has been awarded to Misses
Ethel Shepherd and Ethel Belcher.
No other honors have been
awarded.
The sharing of the first honor
by these two excellent young la¬
dies, is a compliment most worth¬
ily bestowed.
They are both among the bright¬
est young ladies of our city, and
both have always stood high in
their classes and studies.
The Star takes great pleasure in
congratulating them upon their
success and victory in this mat
ter.

Lid' LIKE WAR I
Troops Are Being Rushed to the Seacoast to Be in Readiness
for a Dash On Cuba if War is Declared—-The State
Troops Have Not Been Ordered Out Yet, But They
Are Ready to Move on Short Notice.
GEORGIA WILL FURNISH 2,000 AT FIRST CALL
The Whole Matter is Still Before Congress—-And This Week Will
Probably End the Uncertainty of Affairs.
It will be Cuba, Libre, at last.
That is what the United -States Senate says about it.
The senate has recognized the independence of the Cuban republic, and it notv awaits the action of
tlie house.
Whether the house agrees to the senate resolution or not. there will lie intervention in Cuban affairs,
and the Spanish troops will be driven from the island.
!
The president’s message, which was laid before congress on Monday, referred the whole matter to '
!
congress for action. On Tuesday the foreign relations committee of the two houses both reported two
sets of resolutions—a majority and minority report. The majority reports were for armed intervention
in the Cuban trouble, without recognition ; and the minority reports favored the recognition of the Cu¬
ban republic, and armed intervention.
On Wednesday the house adopted the majority resolution, by a majority vote of 323 to 19.
In the senate the fight over the resolution was prolonged until Saturday night, when the minority res¬
olution, which recognized the independence of the Cuban republic, was passed by a vote of 67 to 21.
The resolution adopted bv the senate went to the house on vesterdav for its concurrence, If it con
curs in the senate resolution in place of the resolution adopted by it on Wednesday, the resolution will
then go to the president for his approval. S £
If the house fails to concur in the senate resolution, then the whole matter will be referred to a con¬
ference committee of the house and senate for adjustment. This may require several days. ■
It is well known that the president is opposed to the recognition of the independence of the Cuban j .
republic, but favors intervention and the establishment of a stable and independent government by the I
be agreed that. ]
people of Cuba. All parties seem to on :
j
In the meantime, the preparation for war goes on at a rushing rate, and everything is about ready
for the conflict. ;
Over 22,000 men have been ordered to the coast, to be in readiness for a dash upon Havana. Eight
regiments of infantry have been ordered to New Orleans, and are now on their way ; seven regiments go
to Mobile, and seven to Tampa, A division of cavalry and two regiments of artillery, have also been
ordered to these points.
These troops are a part of the regular army, and will constitute the nucleus for the creation of a
larger army in case of a declaration of war.
The state troops have not been ordered out yet, but they are ready to move when the call is made. If
the president should call for 50,000 men, Georgia’s quota will be about 2,000. That number will be
made up out of the various military organizations of the state.
We do not believe that a very large army of volunteers will lie needed, as there will lie no land fight¬
ing. except in Cuba, and an army of 100,000 Americans will lie sufficient to drive the Spanish from the
island.
The great struggle will be between the navies of the United States and Spain, and will tie one of the
most terrific of modern times, for a while, but it will not tie of very long duration.
This week will probably witness the beginning of the trouble, or the settlement of the question on a
peace basis.
Later— A rumor was in circulation in Washington, on Sunday, to the effect that Spain had agreed to
withdraw from Cuba, through the influence of the pope, and would give the Cubans their independence.
caused great excitement, but it was discredited in official circles. It was also rumored that
The rumor
of the insurgent army, had gone to Madrid to arrange with the Spanish government for
Gen. Gomez,
the surrender of the island to tlie insurgents. This, however, is too absurd for credence, as Gomez can¬
not treat for peace, that being the prerogative of the president of the Cuban republic.____
