spent for stamps is absolutely untrue. He
shows where the money is disbursed, and
touches upon the school question in gen
eral. When seen last week and asked
afcput the statement by Mark Johnston
that tMOOO a year was spent for postage,
he said:
“So many misleading statements have
'been made in recent announcements and
hpeeches by candidates for school com-
JBtssioner that the school officers of the
State insist that some of these erroneous
statements should be corrected.
"One candidate states that the school

Uhe year 1393 and the year 1900. This
matemen: is entirety without foundation.
In Order to secure such a result the au
thor of the statement had to assume a

MADDOX WILL FIGHT
CRUMPACKER FORCE BILL
WASHINGTON. D. C.,~ March 20 —Rep
resentative Maddox, of Georgia, has pre
pared a warm speech against the Crum
packer resolution to Investigate suffrage
laws In southern states. He will attack
the bitter partisan advocates of the meas
ure fore and aft. to use his own wbrda.
He is one of the foremost debaters of the
house. . .
That all the republicans in the bouse
are not in favor of the proposed force bill
is demonstrated by the fact that Jenkins,
republican, of Wisconsin, has prepared a
speech against it. He was a federal sol
dier. He says he will fight the resolution
to the last ditch, though this course may
lead to his defeat for congress. Many
republicans are opposed to the measure,
but democrats believe the party whip will
drive a number of these into Line with the
force-bill advocates.
W. J. Bryan has changed his attitude
towards the measure, as the following
telegram to Congressman Stark will
show;
•‘My answer had reference to investiga
tion of election methods, not to election
laws, as the courts must decide constitu
tional questions. The committee's action
could not effect such matters.

bill has not abated in the least.

Boer delegates, who have been in this

‘‘The Boers have no money to buy am
munition,**'said he, "but when they need
any. all they have to do is to capture a
British convoy, and they have enough
to supply them for a long time.
"The Boer-British war will establish a

Inhumane fashion tn which it is being

but whether he will do so I cannot say.”
Alluding to the statements that the
‘Boers wear British uniforms in battle.
Mr. Wessels said the Boers have no uni-‘
form of their own. and therefore when
they run out of wearing apparel the only
way they are able to secure it is to take

the distinguishing marks were always re

THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, MONDAY. MARCH 24, 1902.
REBUKED BY
PRESIDENT
AGAIN
MILES’ PROPOSAL OF PLAN TO
END PHILIPPINE WAR MAY
CAUSE HIS RETIRE-
MENT.
WASHINGTON. D. C., March 30.—Gen
eral Miles’ second rebuff at the White
House and the recent publication of the
incident may be followed by the retire
ment of the old warrior by Roosevelt.
It is said that both the president and
the secretary of war are highly Indignant
that the story leaked out, and in conse
quence the president may exercise the law
which allows him to retire an officer over
the age of sixty. Miles reached that age
last August, but unless sooner retired by
Roosevelt, will continue his present office
until August, 1903.
It was nearly a month ago that Mlles
called on the president, Mid bare'his plan
to stop the war in the Philippines and re
ceived the second presidential rebuke for
his pains. There was an understanding
between the soldier and the president that
the matter shouuld be kept secret. Per
haps it would have been kept secret had
not Henry Watterson, in a general news
paper article last Saturday, referred to it
in a paragraph. Then newspaper men
here dug out the entire story. How the
Kentuckian got the fact that Mlles had
been rebuked again is still a secret.
All Decline to Talk.
In view of the fact that the original
publication represented that General Miles
had been snubbed, or severely rebuked by
the president. It is not regarded as a rea
sonable supposition that the information
was made public by him, but rather by
some person or persons inimical to his in
terests. Neither the secretary of war nor
General Miles, nor, in fact, any of the
leading officials of the war department,
will say anything for publication in regard
to the matter.
It was learned from other sources, how
ever, that the president had called for all
the papers in the case and is considering
the advisability of making them public,
with a view to showing the facts and pre
venting further misunderstanding of the
matter.
Congressional notice of General Mlles’
rebuff by Roosevelt .when he asked to be
sent to the Philippines to bring the war
to a close, without further loss of life on
either side, came today when Represen
tative Burleson, of Texas, Introduced a
resolution calling on the president to fur
what he did. He laid the general blame
for this condition of unpreparedness at
the door of congress.
MILES MAY RESIGN
UNDER PRESSURE
WASHINGTON. March 20,-GeneraJ Nel
son A. Miles today told the senate com
mittee on military affairs that if the bill
Introduced by Senator Hawley, at the in
stance of the war department, for the or
ganisation of a general staff for the army
should become a law, he would decline to
longer hold his commission. The reason
be gave for the statement is that the
bill is utterly subversive of the interests
of the military establishment, and he said
that he would not be a party to such a
proceeding to the extent even of 'contin
uing to hold his place.
The statement was made in the course
of a prolonged hearing by the committee
which was conducted behind closed doors
and in which General Miles touched upon
a variety of subjects connected with the
army. The portion of the bill to which he
directed his especial criticism is that con
tained in section 7. reading as follows:
“That from and after the passage of
this act the senior general officer of the
army shall be assigned to command such
portion of the army as the president may
direct, or be detailed to duty in the gen
eral staff corps. All. duties prescribed by
law for the commandant general of the
army shall be performed by the chief of
general staff or other general officer des
ignated by the secretary of war; provid
ed that so long as the present lieutenant
general of the army continues on the ac
tive list, he shall be the chief of the gen
eral staff and upon the separation from
active service of said lieutenant general
of the army, said office, except herein
provided, shall cease and determine.”
General Miles said that if this provision
should become a law it would have the
effect of destroying the unity of the army
and he read numerous authorities, includ
ing Napoleon, Wellington, Washington,
Cass and Grant to show the necessity of
having one head to the army and of con
trolling authority. His own experience
and observation' had, he said, had the ef
fect of confirming these views, and he
gave an illustration of its beneficial ef
fect tn time of emergency, instancing the
beginning of the war with Spain.
"I heard at midnight.” he said, "That
the Spanish fleet had been located definite
ly at Santiago and I hastened to the home
oi Secretary Long, where the news was
confirmed. Shafter was then at Tampa
and I sat down there, in the secretary’s
house, and wrote a dispatch directing him
to start immediately for Santiago, with
the result that the army was soon on Its
way to the point where Its presence was
needed.” ,
“Suppose, ’ he added, “exhibiting the
message which he had sent to General
Shafter, “I had been compelled to get
around to a dozen or more majors, as
many colonels and any number of gener-
als constituting a general staff.”
' Then he added that in al! probability
the .senior general of the army would not
»under the provision he had quoted have
,b9en in position to do anything, and ho
attention to the clause relieving
him (the senior general) of command and
making it possible for any other officer
to be appointed. He declared that under
section seven it would be competent to
one day promote a captain to the posi
tion of a brigadier and the next day make
chief of staff, thus practically placing
a captain at the head of the army.
Warming up somewhat, he asserted that
the bill was calculated to accomplish no
purpose, except to allow the secretary of
war and the adjutant general to promote
the interests of their personal favorites.
General Miles was questioned as to the
reasons for locating the American army
of occupation at Tampa and holding it
there so long with the resulting conges
tion. Replying to the first question, he
said that it was because of the order to
occupy Havana. The delay was due, he
said, to the fact that the American army
was supplied with only sixty-four rounds
of ammunition, which would not have
been sufficient for more than half an hour
of fighting.
Considering that Havana was one of the
best fortified cities in the world, he said,
that to have attacked it would have been
fool-hardy in the extreme. He declined,
however, to criticise the secretary of
war, General Alger, for the condition of
affairs, saying that probably any one
else in the position would have done about
what he did. He laid the general blame
for this condition of unpreparedness at
the door of congress.
In the course of his remarks. General
Miles told the committee in confidence
that with the bill a law he could now
name the men who would hold the places
of honor provided under it, but the com?
mittee did not ask for the namtes. ’

ORDINARY IS SUED BY COUNTY*
CLERK FOR SSOO BECAUSE
HE ISSUED THE MARRI-
' AGE LICENSE.
CARROLLTON, Ga., March 21.—A suit
by the clerk of the superior court here in
his official capacity against the ordinary
of Carroll county as such is the style of a
peculiar suit filed in the clerk’s office of
Carroll superior court yesterday. J. H.
Barron, clerk of the superior court of Car
roll county for the use of the educational
fund of Carroll county brought suit
against S. J. Brown, ordinary of said
county to recover a penalty of <SOO dam
ages on account of a sale of marriage li
cense last December for the marriage of
a girl under 18 years old without her par
ent's consent.
Before December 27th, 1901, as is alleged
in the petition. Dr. Jbhn C. Grlffies, a
prominent physician of Burwell, In the
western part of this county,, had given
Ordinary Brown a written notice, not to
issue a marriage license for Jxis daughter,
Miss Alma Griffies, only about 14 years
old. On December 27th, 1901, a Mr. W. T,
Wright, who was engaged to the girl, ap
plied at the ordinary’s office for a mar
riage license and on beginning the issu
ance of same, Mr. Ben Brown, deputy to
the.ordinary, remembered the orders and
would not complete them. night or
dinary Brown was nursing Tax' Collector
P. P. Kingsberry, then vetY afek, and a
negro called to see the ordinary, saying
“A feller wants some license.” The ordi
nary thinking they were for negroes,, sim
ply referred him to his home, where his
wife was -asked to issue them, b?ing sent
a note to that effect by the ordinary.
Mrs. Brown accordingly Issued license for
the names given by the negro, who it af
terwards developed were the same names
that Dr. Griffies had prohibited. It was
not until nearly a month later, January
21st. that an opportunity of elopement was
afforded and the marriage solemnized.
The unrelenting father, whose main objec
tion to the match was the girl’s youth,
employed M. L. Covington,, Esq., and
Messrs. Brown & Roop, all of this bar,
to bring suit and compel the payment of
the forfeiture, although he derives no pe
cuniary advantage from it, as the law
provides that such suits can only be
brought in the name of the clerk of the
superior court and that the amount re
covered can only go to the educational
fund of the county. Mr. Barron, the clerk,
was reluctant to have the suit brought,
but as no one’ else could be plaintiff the
suit had to be brought in his name as a
nominal party. ,
Ordinary Brown says that during the five
terms he has held the office of ordinary
in tlHs county, that never before was a li
cense for a white couple asked for and to
be delivered by the hand of a negro, and
that fee was caught off his guard by the
negro asking for them, and never once
thought that they were for any other
than a negro marriage.
GOVERNOR WILL
PICKENS COUNTY NEGROES
Governor Candler says he is going to
break up that gang of people in Pickens
county whose object it seems to be to
drive all the negroes from the county
and Thursday on request of Judge George
F. Gober he issued a reward of $l5O for
the first and SIOO for each subsequent 'ar
rest of the marauders.
The gang has been terrorizing the ne
groes of the county since last November.
Negro churches have been burned, ne
groes have been whipped and beaten and
several have been killed. Dynamite has
been used on several in blow
ing up negro houses, ahd now the ne
groes are In such a state of alarm, that
they scarcely know whab to do.
The effect of the reward, it is believed
will be to stop the continual depredations
that have been going on and restore quiet.
The lawabiding citizens have determined
to break up the lawlessness that exists
and to protect the negroes from the white
men. who seem bent on killing them out.
It is understood that the sheriff has been
given special instructions to look out for
the gang and to arrest any suspicious per
sons and bring them to trial.
COUNTERFEITER TO BE FREE

OTIS ADMITS
Hi MADE
ERROHS
GAYS THAT IF MORE MEN HAD
NOT HAVE BEEN SENT ANAR
CHY AND CHAOS WOULD
HAVE REIGNED.
WASHINGTON, March 20.—General Otis
today resumed his testimony before the
senate Philippine commission. Senator
Patterson continued his questioning and
referred to a letter dated September 2,
1898, addressed by General Otis to Aguin
aldo as the commanding general of the
Philippine forces, in which he spoke of
“the sacrifices made by the revolutionary
forces in the Interest of civil liberty.
General Otis declared that this related
to their dealings with the Spaniards. He
admitted that before the United States
army arrived In Manila and for some little
time before they took possession the In
surgents had the Spaniards hemmed In
In Manila. He’denied that he led Aguin
aldo to believe that the United States
would not assume absolute sovereignty
and governmental control over the islands.
Asked what\he meant by the statement
In his- letter that “rather than see the
ships of the United. States navy control
the navigable waters of these islands and
its army devast their territory, I greatly
prefer to advise my government not to
send any more troops here,” General Otis
answered that that was his opinion be
cause he did not want to see atiy war.
“I wanted to conquer by peaceable
means," said he, “but I gave the impres
sion that there were troops Waiting.’’
General Otis said, answering an inquiry
by Senator Hale, that had the government
taken him at his word, not to send more
troops, anarchy would have reigned
throughout the islands. He thought that
his letter should be considered as a whole.
“That was a period when I was laboring
hard,” said he, “to keep the peace and to
keep our men and officers from paying at
tention to the Insults received from Phil
ippine officers and insurgents.’’
Answering Senator Patterson, General
Otis said that *the’ commission of which
General was a member had stated
to representatives of Agulnaldo that no
concessions could be made without the
sacrifice of some of the attributes of sov
ereignty.
General Otis declared that the Filipinos
have no correct idea of liberty. “Liberty
with them,” said he, “Is license.”
‘‘But what is your standard of qualifica
tion' for self-government?” asked Senator*
Patterson. .. . * .
General Otis said they were perfectly
qualified for a despotic' military govern
ment.
General Otis declared that fee did not
measure the capacity of the Filipinos for
self-government by the capacity of the
people of the United States.
A question by Senator Beveridge regard
ing the effect bn the Filipinos of literature
sent from the United States precipitated
a lively discussion. General Otis said that
when Mablnl was brought In he had a pile
of New York papers with him which had
antagonized the sovereignty of the Uni
ted States In the Philippines.
“Did he have any of Senator Hoar’s
speeches?” inquired Senator Patterson.
“Oh, yes; those speeches were all over
the islands,” replied the witness. ,
Senator Allison, who was in the chair,
raald he would exclude any allusion to the
senator’s speeches. Senator Patterson in
terjected the remark that senators should
not be attacked from masked batteries.
Senator Allison thought that Where a
senator's name was involved it gave him
the right to come before the .'committee
and defend himself, and such references
should be excluded.
Senator Carmack, with much earnest
ness. said he wanted to tnke his part of
the responsibility for saying that the war
in the Philippines is “utterly and abso
lutely infamous and criminal. If any proof
can be made that I am Inciting Filipinos
by such speeches,” said he, "I want it
done.”
After some further discussion Senator
Beveridge disclaimed any intention to re
flect on any senator, and withdrew his
question. General Otis concluded his tes
timony by submitting some cotnmehts on
the memorial of thfe Manila'chamber of
commerce. The committee then adjourned.’
FRIED ONIONS.
Indirectly Caused the Death of the
World’s Greatest General.
It is a matter of history that Napoleon was
a gormand, an inordinate lover of the good
things of the table, and history further re
cords that his favorite dish was fried onions;
his death from cancer of stomach it is claimed
also, was probably caused from his excessive
indulgence of this fondness for the odorous
vegetable.
The onion is undoubtedly a whelesome article
of food; in fact has many medicinal qualities
of value, but it would be difficult to find a
more indigestible article than fried onions,
and to many people they are simply poison, but
the onion does not stand alone in this respect.
Any article of food that is not thoroughly di
gested becomes a source of disease and dis
comfort, whether it be fried onions or beef
steak.
The reason why any wholesome food is not
promptly digested Is because the stomach lacks
some important element of digestion; some
stomachs lack peptone, others are deficient in
gastric juice; still others lack hydrochloric
acid.
The one thing necessary to do in any case of
poor digestion is to supply those elements of
digestion which the stomach lacks, and noth
ing does this so safely and thoroughly as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Dr. Richardson, in writing a thesis on treat
ment of dyspepsia and indigestion, closes his
remarks by saying: “For those suffering from
acid dyspepsia, shown by sour, watery ris
ings or for flatulent dyspepsia, shown by gas
on stomach, causing heart trouble and diffi
cult breathing, as well as for all other forms
of stomach trouble, the safest treatment is to
take one or two Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal. I advise them because they
contain no harmful drugs, but arf composed of
valuable digestives, which act promptly upon
the food eaten. I never knew a'case of indi
gestion or even chronic indigestion which Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets would not reach.”
Cheap cathartic medicines claiming to cure
dvspepsia and indigestion can have no effect
whatever in actively digesting the food, and
to call any cathartic medicine a cure for indi
gestion is a misnomer.
Every druggist in the United States and Can
ada sells Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, and they
are not only the safest and most successful but
the most scientific of any treatment for indi
gestion and stomach troubles. • '

ANOTHER SUSPECT CAUGHT
IN BATSON MURDER CASE
MACON. March 20.—Another chapter has
developed in the story of Mr. W. C. Bat
son's recent assassination at Richwood.
A negro having ori his person the dead
man's purse and pistol has been captured
and landed in Vienna jail. Mr. Batson
was a merchant at Richwood, in the firm
of Batson & Mitchell. A couple of nights
ago a negro walked into the store and
made a purchase. He pulled from his
pocket a purse which Mr. Mitchell quick
ly recognized as the one which Mr. Bat
son carried with him just before his death,
and which had never been found after Mr.
Batson's death. The negro paid for what
he had bought and was about to leave,
when Mr. Mitchell seized him by the col
lar. The negro broke loose and escaped,
but was afterwsfeds captured on the train
coming toward Macon. In his shoe waa
found the pistol wuich was stolen from
the dead man on the night of the assassi
nation.
This is the second negro in custody fa’
the crime.
THE SONG MYSTERY.
It it touches the heart of a poet. 1
The gods and the ages will know it.
For over the waters and crags of time \
The winds of the world will blow it.
If ever the Hard shall bring it.
The hands of the Fates will wing it;
And 10, it will travel from world to world.
Till the kings of Orton sing it!
