FIGHTING HAS STOPPED.
The peace protocol was signed in
Washington last Friday by the
French minister, M. Cambon, acting
in behalf of Spain, and Wm. R.
Day, Secretary of State, in behalf of
the United States. Immediately the
President issued his proclamation
declaring an armistice. The provis
ions of the protocol are as follows :
1. That Spain will relinquish all claim
of sovereignty over and title to Cuba.
2. That Porto Rico and other Spanish
islands in the West Indies and an island
in the Ladrones to be selected by the
United States shall be ceded to the lat
ter.
3. That the United States will occupy
- and hold the city, bay and harbor of Ma
nila,. pending the conclusion of a treaty
of peace which shall terminate the con
trol, disposition and government of the
Philippines.
4. That Cuba, Porto Rico and other
Spanish islands in the West Indies shall
be immediately evacuated and that com
missioners to be appointed within ten
days shall, within thirty days from the
signing of the protocol, meet at Havana
and San Juan, respectively, to arrange
and execute the details of the evacuation.
5. That the United States and Spain
will each appoint not more than live
commissioners to negotiate and conclude
a treaty of peace. The commissioners
are to meet in Paris not later than Oct. 1.
6. On the signing of the protocol hos
tilities will be suspended so that effect
will be given as soon as possible by each
government to the commanders of its
military and naval forces.
As soon as the peace protocol was
signed orders to cease hostilities
forthwith were sent to Gens. Miles,
Merritt and Shafter, to Admirals
Dewey and Sampson, and military
commanders generally.
It seems that Admiral Dewey,
who can always be counted on to do
the right thing at the right time, got
wind of the peace negotiations and
was determined that the armistice
should not find Manila in possession
of Spain, as possession is nine points
of the law. And so, in conjunction
with General Merritt, made a simul
taneous land and sea attack on the
13th, the day after the armistice was
declared, although the news had not
reached him by two or three days.
The city surrendered after a sharp
fight. So the peace commission will
meet and consider whether Uncle
Sam shall give up Manila, instead of
whether he shall get it.
The American loss at the taking of
Manila was 7 killed and 45 wounded.
Spanish loss considerable in killed
and wounded, and 7,000 in prisoners.
The protocol, as signed, contained
a clause providing for com
missioners of three each to meet by
Sept. 1 to arrange for the evacuation
of Porto Rico and Havana. These
commissioners have been appointed.
They are :
For Cuba—Major General James
F. Wade, Rear Admiral William T.
Sampson, Major General Matthew C.
Butler of South Carolina.
For Porto Rico—Major General
John R. Brooke, Rear Admiral Win.
field S. Schley, Brigadier General
William W. Gordon of Georgia.
The protocol is only a preliminary
to a treaty of peace. The commis
sioners when they meet in Paris are
to effect a peace treaty on the lines
laid down by the protocol. The
final disposition of the Philippines is
left to this commission. We may
lose them. The Old World states
men can beat us on palaver and
diplomacy. We can whip them in a
fight, but they can outtalk us. We
shall lose no sleep if we have to say
good-bye to the Philippines. We
don’t need them any way. We have
enough in that direction. We have
Hawaii and will get a Ladrone, and
"could get along widout dem” as
Nigger Jim said about the garter
snake.
The “Cuban Junta” says it will
recognize the armistice and that the
Cuban “patriots” will stop sucking
eggs and stealing sheep, which is
about all the fighting they have ever
done.
The Cuban blockade has been
raised and ships with food can enter
Havana and all ports.
All the war vessels have started
for New York for a general cleaning
up.
The war, which lasted 114 days,
has cost us about *200,000,000.
WHEELER’S PLAN.
General Joseph Wheeler is a
great campaigner. Ha is hard to
best in any arena, whether in a race
for Congressional honors or on the
field of battle. Il is said that he
sent every one of his constituents
several packages of garden seeds
every year from his seat in Congress.
He not only sent his own portion,
but asked for and was given the seed
of all members v?ho represented city
districts and did not care for them
as vote-inducers. Wheeler never
overlooked a voter, and he kept the
mail bags loaded in the early spring.
He knows how it pleases a man to
be remembered by his Congressman,
as he sees his name on the package,
and in his simplicity imagines that
the big statesman at Washington
sits up of nights thinking about him.
Little does he reck that the big
statesman did not know him from
Adam’s cat, and had secured his
name, maybe, from the insolvent tax
list.
Brother Tate did this in the cam
paign last spring—only he sent
books in the place of garden seed.
He worked off all the old govern
ment books he could find in Wash
ington. Some of them dating back
to 1880—old agricultural reports,
and books on bugs, gnats, seventeen
year locusts, seven-year itch, and so
forth. Jim Williamson told us
several days before the election that
it was all up—that every man in
Jackson county had got a book.
Only the day before he had met
Jack. Mitchell going out of town
with the fatal book. He had been
for Thompson, but the book had
done the work. It was full of
botanical names and pictures of
cicadas and annelids, and Jack
couldn’t make head nor tail of it any
more than he could fly—but he had
got it. Tate had sent it to him—
that fixed him.
There are great stacks of this sort
of human nature in the world, and
General Wheeler was early to
recognize it. After he went to the
war another fellow came out for
Congress against him. This caught
Wheeler away from his base of
supplies, but he was not to be out
done. He hit upon a most effective
plan. He has recently written hun
dreds of letters to his constituents in
the Eighth Albania district, it is
said, enclosing in each a leaf from
the tree under which the Spanish
surrender was signed. The general
has not only led his men against the
Spanish blockhouses, but has at the
same time stormed the strongholds
of his political opponents and carried
the day with flying colors. His con
stituents will appreciate the remem
brance, and Gen. Wheeler’s re
election is now nothing short of an as
sured fact. Truly the soubriquet of
“Fighting Joe” is not amiss.
THE HERO OF THE HOUR.
Major-General Joe Wheeler,
commander of the cavalry division
of General Shafter’s army, arrived
in Washington Tuesday about 10
o’clock from New Yoak, accompanied
by his son, a member of his staff.
In a quiet and unostentatious man
ner he went to the Arlington hotel,
registering as Joseph Wheeler,
U. S. A.
The doughty cavalrymen was
instantly recognized by friends in
the hotel, and was soon surrounded
by persons anxious to greet and con
gratulate him upon his return to this
country. He received all cordially,
but modestly.
He said his physical condition was
excellent and that he felt no ill ef
fects of the hard compaign through
which he had been. w
Beyond the fact that he had been
ordered by the secretary of war to
report to Washington, General
Wheeler said he knew little about
the object of his visit. From other
sources, however, it was learned that
the president, desiring to consult
with him, requested that be be
ordered here. Mr. McKinley re
poses great confidence in the military
judgment of the general.
General Wheeler is the hero of
the hour in the east. All the New
York papers are giving him great
notices and editorially paying him
the utmost homage for his gallantry
and courage while commending his
wonderful military genius.
The New York Sun especially
takes off its hat to him. It says that
hereafter the worst any man can
wish an enemy is for him to run
against Joe Wheeler for anything
he may want or ask for in this
country.
HOPE THEY WILL GET THERE.
Brother Holder of the Jackson
Herald and John Hosch of Hosch
ton are running for legislative honors
in Jackson county. Brother Holder
is running principally on his looks
and Sunday school speeches, while
Brother Hosch, who has no beauty
to speak of, is treating the voters to f
watermelons, of which he has thou- 1
sands, and fine ones at that. 1
The boys deserve to win ; and we 1
will say that the Herald editor will
show up in great shape in legislative
halls when the eyes and nose are 1
called. He is also possessed of sev- 1
eral other unapproachable features
that should not be allowed to bloom
unseen.
In this connection, and in case the
people ratify his ambition, we enter
tain the hope that he will not allow
his Johnnies column to lapse into
innocuous desuetude. If there is
any one thing that conduces to the
substantial public weal it is this said
Johnnies column. Unless some pro- ■
vision is made for its maintenance,
the good people of Jackson may not
consent for Brother Holder to leave.
But otherwise we are constrained
to say that Jackson county could not
get two better representatives than
this admirable team of Holder and
Hosch. Besides its alliterative
rytbm, it is composed of two most
excellent men.
THE WORST WAY OF ALL.
The Argus is free to say it is op
posed to the amendment to elect the
judges and solicitors by the people,
unless each judicial district was al
lowed to elect its own court officials.
And, even then, it would be tried
only a little while, and some other
system substituted. Let’s stick to
the present system until we can get
“something better.”—Dalton Argus.
A SHRINKAGE OF HONESTY.
Tax returns show a further falling
off this year. Even professional ca
lamity howlers will not pretend that
this is due to any reduction in val
ues. It can be attributed to but one
thing, the growth of the habit of un
dervaluation of property for taxa
tion. The taxpayer, feeling that his
neighbor is going to cut down his re
turns, decides to slice off a little also
so that things may be evened up.
This will continue and grow worse
until the law takes hold of the mat
ter in earnest and puts a stop to
these dishonest practices.
THE DISPENSARY QUESTION.
There is a good deal of talk among
some of Toccoa’s best citizens favor
ing a dispensary at Toccoa. We do
not know much about dispensaries,
but it is our conviction that they are
not as bad—and certainly no worse—
than blind tigers. From the blind
tiger there is no revenue, and tigers
sell whisky to boys in knee breeches;
a dispensary would not; they pay
the city no license; a dispensary
would. This is a matter for our
people to settle as best suits them
selves. Whatever the people say is
best. We heard a prominent citi
zen of the county say recently that
he would give $5,000 a year for li
cense to run a whisky business in
Toccoa. A man who would put up
that much money for a license would
run a decent and respectable place—
as decent and respectable as the
business would permit.—Record.
HAY AND DAY.
Col. John Hay, our minister to
England, has been appointed Secre
tary of State in the President’s
Cabinet, Secretary Day having re
signed to accept a place on the
Spanish-American peace commission.
Col. Hay is a poet—the author of
“Jim Bludsoe” and “Little Britches.”
He is a statesman and has a cool
business head, a rare thing among
poets.
Judge Day left the cabinet be
cause he was too poor to be a
secretary of state. The president
has appointed, Colonel John Hay,
who is a millionaire, and another
millionaire, Whitelaw Reid, will
be ambassador to England. Hay
and Reid were newspaper men and
married plutocratic ladies.
GENERAL FITZHUGH LEE.
General Lee has returned to Jack
sonville where he will assume com
mand of his corps. He declined to go
upon the military commission to
meet at Havana, and ex-Senator
Butler was put on in his place. Gen
eral Lee, it is said, will be made the
commander of the department of
Havana to be created as soon after
the evacuation takes place as possi
ble. It is doubtful if he would ac
cept the governorship of Havana,
preferring to assume active command
of the garrison forces of the island.
He corroborates the report that he
will make the race for the senate
against Senator Martin a year hence.
If he did not do so, however, he said
it would be for the reason that he
could not leave Cuba. “As long as
the President needs my services,” he
said, “I must keep them at his com
mand.” It is more than likely that
General Lee will be kept in Cuba
anyhow until a peaceful government
is assured to the island.
THE PRESIDENT’S PHILIPPINE POLICY.
Nobody, probably, outside of his
cabinet, knows what the President’s
policy is in respect to the Philip
pines. There has been a good deal
of comment on what his policy is
supposed to be, but no one can say
with any degree of certainty whether
he means to instruct our commis
sioners to hold on to the Philippines
or to give up everything connected
with them, except a coaling station.
Grand Jury Presentments.
We, the Grand Jury, chosen and
sworn for the July term, 1898, of the
Superior Court of Hall County, sub
mit the following general present
ments and recommendations :
Through our various committees
we have investigated the interests of
the county, and with few exceptions
find everything in very good condi
tion.
treasurer.
We have examined the books of
the Treasurer, and find them, as
usual, correctly kept; and from them
we have the following statement
from Jan. 1, 1898, to July, 1898:
Amount on band Jan. 1, 1898.. $10,741 65
Received since 17,856.92

ORDINARY.
We find the books of the Ordinary
correctly kept. We commend him

COUNTY SCHOOL COMMISSIONER.
We have examined the books of
the County School Commissioner and
find them neatly and correctly kept.
And we approve the method adopted
by him, and commend him as a wor
thy and faithful officer. *
CLERK.
We find the office of the Clerk
kept in a neat and orderly manner,
and his books and papers all well ar
ranged and neatly kept.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
We find the County Commission
ers have a complete and thorough
system of keeping the county expen
ses, showing in detail every amount
paid out, and each item for which it
was paid. We examined the items
called “incidentals” very carefully
and find them, in our judgment, cor
rect. We heartily commend and ap
prove the manner in which the Com
missioners look after our county af
fairs. We recommend in these our
Presentments that the Hall County
members of the next Legislature do
all in their power to pass a law em
powering our Commissioners of
Roads and Revenues to appoint their
own clerk, instead of having the
Clerk of the Superior Court, and
that he shall receive $2 per day for
his services.
sheriff.
We have examined the bouk’< »f' !
the Sheriff, and find them systemat
ically kept and correct. We find
that there has been in jail since last
term of the Court thirty prisoners;
that twenty have been released, leav
ing ten still in as county prisoners,
and one charged with lunacy still in
jail.
TAX RECEIVER.
We find that the Tax Receiver’s
books are correctly and neatly kept.
We find some lands that we think
are given in too low, and have
marked on the book what we think a
fair valuation.
TAX COLLECTOR.
We find on the report of the
County Commissioners that they
have made complete settlement with
the Tax Collector for 1897.
j. p’s. and n. p’s.
We find the dockets of the J. P’s.
and N. P’s. correctly kept, except in
some instances some have failed to
itemize bills of cost. To such we
have called attention on their respec
tive dockets.
PUBLIC COMFORT AND SEWERS.
The Grand Jury, after discussing
the great inconvenience to the public
of having no respectable place of
public comfort in Gainesville, and no
means of providing such accommo
dations without a sewer pipe leading
out of the city; and also the un
healthy condition of the Jail pro
duced by the inadequate means of
getting rid of the fecal and foul mat
ter at that place, which at present is
turned loose in the branch just in the
rear of the Jail, and has already
caused much sickness and some
deaths among citizens living in the
neighborhood, on motion, adopted j
the following resolution :
“Resolved, That we recommend,
our County Commissioners to put in
a line of sewers starting at a point
near the Court House and running
by the Jail, and thence on to some i
suitable point outside the city limits,
the same to be put down according}
to the survey furnished by the city
authorities, and arranging with the
city authorities to furnish water for
flushing the said sewer free of charge
to the County; and to give the city
authorities tho right to empty their i
sewers into this sewer main line
when they put in a system-of sewer-;
age; provided the same can be done
at a cost not to exceed $4,000.”
INSOLVENT COST LIST.
We find some irregularities in the
insolvent-cost book, and we recom-j
mend that it be corrected and prop
erly kept.
ELECTION N. P.
Ob motion, James Hurley was
elected notary public for the 569th ’
district G. M.
jurors’ pay.
We fix the pay of jurors and bail-1
iffs at $2 per day for 1899. j
FREE BRIDGES.
We recommend that the County
Commissioners buy Thompson’s
Bridge, if they can get it for $2,500;
otherwise, we would recommend our .
County Commissioners to build a ,
new bridge at or near the Wilson i
old mill place. 1
PUBLIC ROADS. 1
Owing to recent heavy rains, we ■
find our public roads, in many places, ,
in bad condition. We therefore j
recommend that they be worked and f
put in proper condition as soon as *
practicable.
jail. ,
have examined the Jail and i
find that the wood-work, both inside '
and outside the building, needs re- ‘
painting. The iron and steel work j
in both stories needs at least one (
coat of good mineral paint. The 1
roof should also be painted .and put 1
in a lasting condition. The light- 1
ning rods need repairing. The sani
tary condition of the Jail is not what
we think it should be. We recom
mend that the bedding be cleansed ‘
and the straw beds be refilled ; or if ‘
it can not be put in first-class condi
tion, that it be abolished and new
bunks or better means of accommo
dation be furnished, for the cleanli
ness and health of the prisoners.
We recommend that, if practicable,
two bath-tubs be placed in the corri
dor of the Jail, one for the white and
one for the colored prisoners.
COURT HOUSE.
We have examined the Court
House building and find that for its
preservation the tin work on the
roof should be repainted, and that
the joints of the storm water table
be refilled with cement to prevent
the water from injuring the building.
COUNTY FARM.
We find that the County Farm is
in good condition, with about 67
acres in cultivation in corn and 20
acres in pease, all well cultivated.
We find 36 inmates at the Home,
and all seem to be well cared for.
We find 4 mules, 3 cows, and 13
shotes, all in good condition. We
regret that we cannot make a state
ment as to the income and expense
of the Farm. We request that the
County Commissioners furnish the
next Grand Jury with an itemized
statement showing the expenses of
the Farm for the present year, so
that the next Grand Jury can make
a full report.
COURTESIES.
Knowing Hon. Fretcher M. John
son's character as a man, his ability
as a lawyer, and his peculiar fitness

pleasure in indorsing him for Solici
tor-General of the Northeastern Cir

the law. We feel fortunate in hav
ing so good a Judge.
We extend our hearty thanks to
our worthy Solicitor-General, How

“BEFOBE BABY IS BORN."
A Valuable Little Book of Interest to
All Women Sent Free.
Every woman looks forward with feel
ings of indescribable joy to the one mo
mentous event in her life, compared with
which all others pale into insignificance.
How proud and happy she will be when

how sweet,the name of “Mother!” And
yet her happy anticipation of this event
is clouded with misgivings of the pain
and danger of the ordeal, so that it is
impossible to avoid the feeling of con
stant dread which creeps over her. The
danger and suffering attendant upon be
ing a mother can be entirely prevented,
so that the coming of the little stranger
need not be looked forward to with fear
and trembling, as is so often the case.
Every woman who reads this paper can
obtain absolutely free a valuable and at
tractive little book entitled “Before Baby
is Born,” by sending her name and ad
dress to the Bradfield Regulator Co., At
lanta, Ga. This book contains priceless

The colored school building, which

General Greely’s 278 Days of Death.
The true story of those 278 days of
suffering by Greely’s heroic little
band of explorers in the Arctic
region has been told by General
Greely himself, for the first time, for
the October Ladies’ Home Journal.
For years General Greely has kept
an unbroken silence about his fearful
experience and that of his com
panions, as they dropped dead one
by one at his side, and it was only
after the greatest persuasion that
the famous explorer was induced to
write the story.

Cuba is about the size of New
York state. Its population is 1,500,-'
000, about one-half of that of the
United States at the time of the
revolution. It is fertile, though
largely undeveloped. It has 13,000,-
000 acres of forest, besides 7,000,000
acres of wild land, which has never
been cultivated. Porto Rico is much
smaller, more fertile, and has a
climate more agreeable to northerners.
It is about one-half the size of New
Jersey and one-twe.fth the size of
New York. In proportion to area
its population is much denser than
that of this state, as 1,000,000 people
live there.

MR. EDWARD HARDY, the jolly man
ager of Sheppard Co’s, great store at
Braceville, 111., writes: "I had never I
been sick a day in my life until in 1890. I
got so bad with nervous prostration that I
had to give up and commence to doctor. I
tried our local physicians and one in Joliet, ;
but none gave me any relief and I thought
I was going to die. I became despondent
and suffered untold agony. I could not eat,
sleep nor rest-, and it seemed as if I could
not exist. At the end of six months I was
reduced to but a shadow of myself, and at
last my heart became affected and I was :
truly miserable. I took six or eight bottles
of Dr. Miles’ Nervine. It gave me relief
from the start, and at last a cure, the great- ,
est blessing of my life." K 3
