GLORIOUS AMERICA.
The annals of warfare have never
recorded and perhaps will never
record again two such naval victories
as those of Manila and Santiago.
Two splendid navies, consisting in
the aggregate of seventeen warships,
totally destroyed with a loss to their
destroyers of one killed and two
wounded.
The world has great navies of
fighting vessels, but the United
States was the first to demonstrate
what the modern warships can do ;
and it has been shown that the
American battleships and armored
cruisers are the best fighting ma
chines on the seas, backed up as they
are by Anglo-Saxon endurance, cour
age, skill, and intelligence. It is tin
man behind the gun that counts.
The Spaniards can shoot, but they
can’t hit. They have the courage,
but they haven’t the skill and cool
ness.
The actions at Manila and Santi
ago were outbursts of the tre
mendous energies of the youthful
republic, and have made a profound
impression on the “great powers” of
the old world. A few months ago
even the one-horse monarches talked
contemptuously of Uncle Sam’s
“nation of traders.” Recently a cold
chill ran up the spines of the powers.
Germany and France no longer say
America must do so and so, but that
she will probably do this and that.
And England is proud of her grand
children across the way. When
Victoria heard of Dewey at Manilashe
is said to have smiled and remarked,
“I expected it; they are of our
blood.”
Now that our country has shown
itself a Samson in strength, let it
not dally with the Delilah of im
perialism and territorial extension,
but stick close to the principles that
have made it a Gibraltar among the
nations.
JACKSON COUNTY POPULISTS.
Our friends the Populists had a
great day of it in Jefferson last Sat
urday. The whole family was out —
men, women, and children—and a
good sprinkle of Democrats and non
combatants. There is said to have
been a larger crowd in town than for
years.
Gubernatorial candidate Hogan,
Congressional candidate Brooke,
and General Phillips, who is seek
ing nothing, but will get as much as
the other two, were on hand and
made speeches.
Candidates for county offices and
legislature were nominated in mass
meeting.
For lepresentatives Ed McDon
ald and Charles Holliday.
Sheriff—A. R. Braselton renom
inated.
C. C. Chandler renominated for
Clerk.
For Tax Collector Elbert Hill.
For Tax Receiver W. D. Bailey.
The Democrats have not yet made
nomination. They will probably not
hold a primary, but select in mass
meeting.
Allen Flanigan of Marcus and
Tuos. H. Niblack of Jefferson are
being solicited to make the race for
the General Assembly, while Alvin
Appleby for Clerk, Geobge W.
Brown for Tax Receiver, and A.
H. Brock and Hugh Hancock for
Tax Collector have entered the race
Better men than these can not be
found in the county. A ticket com
posed of such sterling Democrats
would have no trouble laying the
Pops on the cooling board.
IT WORKS PRETTY WELL.
The treasury department a few
days ago gave out the statement that
subscriptions had been received to
the war loan amounting to $875,593,-
000. With these figures as a basis
it is not at all improbable that when
the subscription closes to-day it will
amount to a round $1,000,000,000,
and may exceed those figures.
A great deal of mud and vitupera
tion has been thrown at the gold
standard, but it must be conceded
that when a great emergency comes,
and the government credit is put to
the test, a gold standard is a pretty
handy thing to have around.
A free silver craze is a good thing
to catch suckers with and ride into
office on, but when it comes to float
ing a big war loan, we are just
obleeged to have the much maligned
gold standard.
HAS SPECIAL FITNESS.
Geo. P. Erwin of Clarksville is a
candidate for the place of Secretary
of the State Senate. He possesses
peculiar fitness for this position, be
ing a young man of fine character
and intelligence, and an accomplished
penman and calculator.
He is a nephew of Judge Alex S.
Erwin of Athens. He may be ex
pected to poll the solid north Geor
gia vote in the Senate.
NEWS OF THE WAR.
What the Wires Have to Say of
Things at the Front.
THURSDAY, July 7.
Admiral Camara, who with bis
fleet had passed through the Suez
Canal headed for the Phillippines,
has been ordered back home to pro
tect Spanish coast against threatened
bombardment of Admiral Watson’s
fleet. The toll at the canal amounted
to $300,000, which Spain is ill able
to pay.
Spanish cruiser Alphonso XII de
stroyed 8 miles from Havana by
American blockading fleet.
Washington, July 6.—lnformation
has been received in Washington to
the effect that an attempt was
recently made to blow up the apart
ments of the Queen Regent of Spain
at Madrid with dynamite.
Lieutenant Hobson and his seven
comrades were exchanged today.
Hobson was exchanged for a Spanish
lieutenant and his comrades for an
equal number of privates. When
the men reached the American lines
the bands played “When Johnny
Comes Marching Home.”
Madrid, July 7, 9:30 p. m.—The
Queen Regent presided at the Cabi
net council held at the palace today.
Gen. Correa, Minister of War,
strongly contended that hostilities
should be continued, and his position
was supported by the Queen Regent.
Telegrams received here report dis
tressing scenes in Ferrol, Cadiz,
Cartagena, Valencia and Alicante,
where the families of the officers and
crews of Admiral Cervera’s squadron
mostly reside. Wives, fathers,
mothers and children have besieged
the naval offices, begging for news,
which the authorities are unable to
give. The Government is very in
completely informed as to the
Spanish losses, and it has asked
France and Austria to apply to
Washington for a list of the pris
oners.
FRIDAY, July 8.
A flag of truce is flying over
Santiago and the demand for sur
render is being considered by the
Spanish government at Madrid. In
the meantime American lines are be
ing reinforced and intrenchments
strengthened.
Yesterday General Toral sent a
messenger with a communication for
General Shafter. 'Ordinarily such a
messenger going through the lines
would be blindfolded. Our position
is so strong, however, and our of
fensive works so impressive, that it
was decided to give the commis
sioner the free use of his eyes, so
that he might see all the preparations
that have been made to reduce the
city. The siege guns 'and mortar
batteries were pointed out to him,
and he was entertained all the way
to headquarters with a detailed ex
planation of the number of our
forces, our guns, and other matters
that must have been of interest to
him. In fact he, was very much im
pressed by what he heard and saw.
General Toral wanted to borrow a
couple of telegragh operators to send
a message to Madrid, his English
operators having fled. The operators
were loaned.
The American Consul at Victoria
is authority for the report that a
Spanish privateer is off Queen
Charlotte Island, B. C., ready to
capture American treasure ships
from the Yukon and the Klondike.
He has notified the authorities at
Washington.
A wrecking vessel has been sent
to Santiago to raise the Cristobal
Colon and recoyer cannons, armor
plate, etc.
Congress adjourned today.
SATURDAY, July 9.
Bombardment of Santiago again
postponed. Generals Shafter and
Toral still parleying over terms of
surrender.
General Miles with reinforcements
left Charleston for Santiago.
Refugees from Santiago, many of
them starving, although loaded with
jewels and money, are strung along
the road from Caney to Siboney.
The bodies of four women apparently
well-to-do were found on the road to
day. ,
Advices received by Commander
McCalla, of the Marblehead, from
the city of Guantanamo show that
the deaths from starvation there
average fifteen daily.
SUNDAY, July 10.
Transports with 3,000 troops reach
Santiago, with six batteries of artil
lery. Two batteries of siege guns
have arrived. No rain for past two
days.
Information is being constantly
received which leads to the belief
that the Spanish proposals are sim
ply a ruse to gain time to evacuate
city on side not guarded by our
troops. With the customary fine
sense of honor they are sacking the
city before it falls into the hands of
the Americans. Cuban families are
not the only sufferers from the thiev
ish propensities of the Spanish sol
diery, who are plundering the bouses
of all the families, Spanish and Cu
ban alike, who fled from the city
when the notice of bombardment was
given.
One particularly atrocious crime
has been committed by the soldiers.
Senora Rosa Chacon de Odis, a
wealthy resident of the city, refused
to leave because her fortune, which
consisted of gold, silver, and securi
ties of various kinds, and her valua
ble jewels, were kept in her house.
She thought her property would
be safer under the protection of
the Spanish solders than if she fbd
with other refugees to the American
lines, taking her valuables with her.
The fact that she had much property
in her house was generally known to
the soldiers, and last night some of
them went to her residence and
assassinated her. Then they looted
the house of everything valuable it
contained.
Lieut. Wise of the Ninth Infantry
has been ordered to report at head
quarters with kites, with which he
will endeavor to take photographs of
the hidden defenses of the city. The
balloon that was brought for this
purpose is now useless, having been
riddled with bullets.
Bombardment of Santiago begun
today at 4 p. m. General Shafter
now has 27,000 men and his trenches
and batteries are in fine condition.
Amiral Cervera and 691 others of
his late crew have arrived at Ports
mouth, N. IL, where they will be
confined.
Admiral Cervera, his staff, and the
other officers were on parole and en
joyed the full freedom of the vessel.
A number of these were walking the
deck in their uniforms, but appar
ently taking little interest in what
was going on about them. Admiral
Cervera was confined to his cabin
with an illness that caused him to
remain in his bed three days during
the trip. He was able to be up and
dressed and about the cabin this
morning when the inspector went on
board. The Admiral warmly greeted
the inspector, and in good English
said he wished to express his great
appreciation of the kindness shown
him and the other prisoners by the
American officers. There had been
nothing withheld for his or their
comfort, he said, since the time he
was forced to surrender against the
great odds that confronted him.
Being pressed for an interview by
some newspaper men, the Admiral
finally said:
“No; I cannot speak. My loss
is terrible. My fleet was the best
that my country could give, and my
men were the bravest of any on
earth. I was conquered by a greater
force, and today I am grateful to
my conquerors for the kindness and
consideration shown us in our trying
position.
The prisoners arrived on board
the cruiser St. Louis, which will be
the home of Admiral Cervera and
the Spanish officers until their quar
ters are finished. The sailors will
be taken to the barracks immediately.
,When the men landed some of
them were so weak that they could
not stand, and laid on the ground
until stretchers were brought, and by
the aid of their comrades were car
ried to the main road, where they
were placed on the gress.
Many of the prisoners had wounds
that were still unhealed, and their
heads and arms showed the effects of
the terrible battle in which they
fought.
The crew of the Cristobal Colon
were landed in a body. They were
better clad and evidently better fed
than the other men, for they bore a
resemblance of the Spanish sailor in
make-up.
Thirty members of the Colon’s
crew, however, were severely wound
ed and had to be carried on stretch
ers.
The unloading of the motley crowd
was witnessed by thousands of peo
ple on shore and in boats, and it may
be said with all sincerity that during
the two hours occupied with the
task not a sneer or a jeer was heard,
nor an act performed which might
have given offense to the men.
The most interesting part of the
landing of the men was the duty per
formed by Capt. E. Diaz Morou of
the Cristobal Colon, the once hearty
and jovial officer, the favorite cap
tain of the Spanish navy, standing
on the height near where the men
came ashore, clad in a tattered uni
form of white duck trousers and a
blue coat, book in hand, the muster
ing officer of the Spanish prisoners.
His heavy voice called out the
names of the prisoners and credited
each to the vessel to which the indi
vidual was once a member. When
the muster-out, as it seemed to be,
was finished, the men were formed
in line and marched in to the tempo
rary barracks which serve as a prison
for them.
One of the most touching inci
dents of the day was the farewell
Capt. Morou took of his crew before
he went back to the St. Louis.
Few who saw the tenderness with
which the former big hearted and
jovial commander walked down the
line and affectionately embraced
each seaman as if he was bis only
son, could refrain from tears.
Before he returned to the St.
Louis be asked permission to say a
few words to bis men. The request
was granted, but Capt. Morou, in
stead of making a formal and elo
quent address to the long line,
walked up to the man at the head of
it and, taking him warmly by the
hand, tenderly kissed the grim sailor
on the cheek.
When the men saw the action of
the commander they wept as if their
hearts would break, and as the cap
tain walked down the line, shaking
each by the hand and kissing each
sunburnt cheek, each man threw bis
arms around the commander’s neck
and gave him a hearty embrace.
When finally the captain reached
the end of the long line he turned
and in a voice shaking with emotion,
said a few words of farewel. to the
crew as a whole. As he finished the
half-clad men surrounded him, grasp
ing his arms and legs, all trying for
one last embrace.
MONDAY, July 11.
The American fluet attempted to
throw shells into Santiago from the
sea, but it appears it was impossible
to give the guns sufficient elevation.
Col. Bryan’s Nebraska regiment
has been ordered to report for duty
to Gen. Fitzhugh Lee at Jackson
ville, Fla.
The hospital train, with 235
wounded soldiers aboard, passed
through Macon yesterday en route
to Fort McPherson.
Gen. Miles and staff have arrived
at Santiago, and be has held confer
ences with Gen. Shafter and Admiral
Sampson.
Senor Sagasta has resigned as
prime minister of Spain, and sug
gests the formation of a military
cabinet.
TUESDAY, July 12.
Sampson’s fleet has got the range
of Santiago and are landing a shell
every minute, which are doing great
damage. The range is 8,500 yards,
with ships 500 yards from shore.
At a late hour to-day the palaver
over surrendering Santiago was re
sumed. City is completely surround
ed and can not hold out long.
All efforts of the government are
now concentrated on the Porto Rican
expedition. The commissariat and
the quartermaster’s department are
now organizing transports that will
take the immune regiments to San
tiago as a garrison, and will take the
better part of the regulars now at
Santiago to Porto Rico. Advices
received to-day say Porto Rico will
be easily occupied. Seven thousand
regulars and five thousand volunteers
are at San Juan. There are no
troops on the other parts of the
island. The inhabitants are anxiously
awaiting to welcome the Americans.
Surgeon General Van Reypan, of
the navy, has received a report from
the surgeons with the fleet, showing
that in all cases of wounded, some of
them serious, not a rise of tempera
ture or an accumulation of pus has
appeared in any case. From a med
ical standpoint this is said to be a
marked advance from the conditions
during the civil war, and is attribut
ed to the introduction of the antisep
tic treatment of the wounds.
The official report of casualties in
the three days fight before Santiago
has been made out. It gives the
number killed as 231; wounded 1,288;'
missing 81. Total 1,595.
WEDNESDAY, July 13.
Fourteen cases of yellow fever
reported in quartermaster’s depart
ment near Santiago. Army must
lose no time in disposing of Santiago.
Gens. Miles and Toral still parleying
over surrender. If no surrender, as
sault will be made this afternoon.
City of Siboney, near Santiago,
burned by order of health authorities.
Germany is still trying to scrouge
Dewey, ani Dewey is making her
walk the chalk line. German gun
boat Irene refused to permit insur
gents to attack Grande Island.
Dewey heard of it and sent two gun
boats to see about it. The Irene
pulled away, and apologized. The
American gunboats then bombarded
Grande Island and captured it, with
500 prisoners.
ISLANDS TO BURN.
Last Thursday the Senate adopted
the House resolution to annex
Hawaii to the United States. The
measure had been discussed in the
Senate many weeks. The vote was
42 to 21.
The President has signed the act
and it is now a law. It was done at
the solicitation of the Hawaiian
government.
The United States assumes the
public debt of Hawaii—about $4,000,-
000.
The island will be run by five com
missioners appointed by the presi
dent.
We have also taken charge of the
Ladrones, a batch of volcanic islands
away out at the other end of nowhere.
They have 4,000 population, mostly
cannibals and wild hogs.
The islands were captured by the
Manila transport's. they went out.
The stars and stripes were raised
and the solitary American inhabitant
—a shoemaker—was made governor
general. We don’t suppose he will
get much of a salary, for there is
nothing to do. However, the office
has a big name, and that of itself is
better than shoemaking in a country
where everybody goes barefooted.
Your Uncle Samuel will soon have
islands to burn. He has annexed
Hawaii, captured the Ladrones, has
the Philippines on the string, with
Cuba, Porto Rico, the Canaries, and
no telling how many more, coming in
a few days.
The daughter of “Fighting Joe
Wheeler” was almost frightened to
death by the reports of the danger
ous illness of her father, and, like'
the brave girl she is, at once started
to Santiago to nurse the old warrior.
Our dispatches show that General
Wheeler has been completely re
stored to health. He has all sorts of
grit and it is a bard matter to keep
him away from the front when there
is fighting going on.
Announcement.
To our Hall County Friends:
In order to be able to accommodate tbe
public promptly and perform all tbe du-
the Clerk’s office satisfactorily, it
is absolutely necessary that there should
be at all times two persons connected
with the office, and this can best be ac
complished by having a regularly bond
ed deputy.
A number of our mutual friends have
advised us to agree that one of us shall
continue on in thS; race for the nomina
tion for Clerk and the other to run as
deputy.
We have, therefore, yielded to the
wishes of our friends and have agreed to
run the race from now on together, W.
D. Whelchel as candidate for the affice
of Clerk and J. T. Chamblae to be his
bonded deputy Clerk.
We thauk our many friends for their
kind and encouraging support while we
were running separately, and respectfully
and earnestly ask their continued sup
port now that we are running together,
and request all our friends to vote the
ticket with the names of W. D.
Whelchel for Clerk and J. T. Chamblee
deputy. Very respectfully,
W. D. WUELCHEL.

Mrs. Cleveland and Her Little Girls.
A close friend of Mrs. Cleveland’s tells
this story if her in an anecdotal biogra
phy of the former mistress of the White
House in the June Ladies’ Home Jour
nal: “Mrs. Cleveland used to be some
what sensitive over the general regret so
freely expressed before the birth of the
last child that there was no boy in the
family. It seemed to her to imply a lack
of appreciation of her three little girls.
A friend, who is married and has a son,
visited the White House one day, and
when the children were brought in she
exclaimed, ‘What a pity they are all
girls!’
“Quick as a flash Mrs. Cleveland knelt,
put her arms about the children and re
torted, ‘That shows . that you do not
know how nice little girls are.’ ”
Things Worse Than War.
What thing is worse than war?
That men no longer should possess
That ancient virtue, manliness,
Too weak in body and in mind
To still protect their womankind—
This thing is worse than war.
What thing is worse than war?
Self satisfied at ease to be,
Content if only we are free,
? - To hearken with untroubled breast
Unto the cry of the opprest—
This, this is worse than war.
Ah, very good is peace,
And yet too high may be its price!
Shall manhood be th® sacrifice ?
Must honor go, shall duty yield,
That we escape the deadly field?
Away with such a peace I
—Shaler G. Hillyer.
Death Among Kindred.
'Tie a sad thing to die away from home.
True, friends may gentle hover round to soothe
his pangs,
But they are not the long known and long
loved.
They cannot read the language of his face
Shadowed by death. To them he cannot tell
Hie inmost wishes and his inmost thoughts.
He feels a stranger there. Upon the brink
Os that dread bourn in which he surely sinks,
How terrible such thought unto his soul!
Oh, beautiful, most beautiful, and blest,
That tender benediction of the east,
“May you among your kindred die!”
—New York Ledger.
Misfit Halos.
Where ignorance is bliss no doubt
'Tis folly to be wise,
And yet how oft men look about
And truly sympathize
With folk who feel that they’re au fait
Especially one—to wit,
The man (you meet him every day)
Whose halo doesn’t fit!
Ah, better be the wight at whom
The scornful finger points
Because his trousers—dreadful doom!—
Grow baggy at the joints
Than he whose empty phrase falls pat,
Who plays the hypocrite
And never realizes that
His halo doesn’t fit!
—Washington Star.
Good Night.
Good night, good night, as we so oft have said
Beneath this roof at midnight in the days
That are no more and shall no more return.
Thou hast but taken thy lamp and gene to bed.
I stay a little longer, as one stays
To cover up the embers that still burn.
—Longfellow.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

Merry Autumn.
It’s all a farce—these tales they tell
About the breezes sighing
And moans astir o'er field and dell
Because the year is dying
Buch principles are most absurd.
1 care not who first taught 'em. :
There’s nothing known to beast or :bird
To make a solemn autumn I
In solemn times, when grief holds sjivay
With countenance distressing.
You'll note the more of black and’gray
Will then be used in dressing >
* i
Now purple tints are all around.
The sky is blue and mellow,
And e’en the grasses turn the ground
From modest green to yellow
The seed burs all with laughter crack
On featherweed and jimson.
And leaves that should be dressed in
black ;
- Are all decked out in crimson. ’
A butterfly goes winging by,
A singing bird comes after,
■ And nature, all from earth to sky,
Is bubbling o’er with laughter,
Don’t talk to me of solemn days
In autumn’s time of splendor
Because the sun shows fewer rays
And these grow slant and slender.
Why, it’s the climax of the year;
The highest time of living,
Till naturally its bursting cheer
Just melts into thanksgiving.
