With six cruisers and one reve¬
nue cutter the American arms were
gloriously successful against a large
number of Spanish vessels and two
forts on the island of Manila (680
miles south east of Hong Kong)
last Sunday morning. Americans
fight for their country and their
wives and children ; other nations
light for their monarchs, that is the
difference; Americans acknowledge
no king or sovereign except the
Almighty, Himself.
Rioting is now the order of the
day in Spain—every section of the
Monarchy is uprising and it is fear¬
ed by those in power that the peo¬
ple will make a change in govern¬
ment and grave fears are felt that
the King and Queen Regent, his
mother, will be driven from the
throne. The trouble is caused by
the terrible loss of life and property
at Manilla Sunday last where the
Spanish navy ran amuck Commo¬
dore Dew’ey’s six wooden hulks,
which Uncle Sam calls his Asiatic
squadron.
A Hero’s Call.
Last Thursday in an address to
Confederate veterans in Charleston
General Wade Hampton said •
“My old comrades, we know
what war is. I do not l.esitate to
say that I regret the one upon which
we are now entering. But you are
South Carolinians ; you are sons of
the men who have shed immortal
glory on the Palmetto flag in the
past, and I had rather die than
think that South Carolina would
not respond to the call made upon
her for volunteers. And old as I
am, I can still ride on horseback
and wield a sword ; and if her quota
is not filled, if there is one name
lacking to make it full, I, myself,
will volunteer. This is our coun¬
try and it is our duty to make it the
champion of freedom for all time
to come.”
For Reconciliation.
The present canvass for office
brings to mind some pleasant mem¬
ories of the past, and also, some
regrets present themselves on re¬
flection. The meeting and hand¬
shaking of friends from different
parts of the county are enjoyable
incidents to the appreciative and
especially those who have been
favored by the suffrage of the peo¬
ple in the past, but, while enjoying
these agreeble pastimes, it appears
that there are many that feel that
there is a line of distinction drawn
by the locality in which persons
live. It has been perceptible for
several years that some people of
the upper part of the county looked
with suspicion upon the Toccoa
county and vice versa. The late
court-house question appears to
have divided many people of the
two sections and in reality, to a
great extent. That state of affairs
brings regret to the social feelirgs
***

where.
An effort to reconcile these dif-
ferences may be fruitless, but a
word m that direction should be
welcomed by all liberty loving peo¬
ple bound together by county ties,
if nothing more, and sectional strife
should be banished, especially when
business interests presents them¬
selves alike, to all parts of the coun-
ty-
Thers are good men in all parts
of the county, an.d some of them
are asking the people 1 to trust
them with . , . . . and
important positions,
it is to be hoped that the people of
t he Toccoa region " will consider the
^ erson ’ and not the locaIit y in
which the aspirant live and also
the people in other portions of the
county should not consider that this
Section has exhausted its suitable
material for office, or has furnised
its share of oflicers. It is gratify¬
ing to know this part of the county
has never furnished an officer but
who has given satisfaction to all
reasonable people, and there are
still others that are worthy of trust,
and some are offering themselves
for consideration of the people,
without sectional restrictions, and,
it should be conceded that others
are doing the same. Then things
should be viewed in a business way,
ind not with partiality in regard
to place, or enmity of person, but,
with the good of the country and
friendship to all, as a movtie to

THOMPSON TO TATE.
The Light is Turned On Some of
Tate’s Shady Work.
Gainsville, Ga., April 27, 1898.
Hon. F. C. Tate,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir : I had hoped that
duringou r canvass for the Demo¬
cratic nomination honerable means
only would be employed, but from
the following letter you haie sent
out to people in White County,
which is only one of many which
you have circulated, I am convin¬
ced that my dream has been dis¬
pelled :
House of Representatives U. S.,
Washing, D. C., April 8, 1898—
\lr. -,Parks, Ga. (Personal)
—Dear Friend : I had hoped to be at
your court next week, but with war
staring this country in the face I
cannot leave my post of duty for
the purpose of advancing my own
political interest; therefore, tied
down here as I am, I must rely up¬
on you and my other friends to take
care of my interest. I have at all
times kept my promises and endeav¬
ored honestly and faithfully to dis¬
charge my duty, and I am sure that
you will agree with me that no fair
or truthful man will assert that I
have not done so.
Every scheme and plan known to
the slick politician will be resorted
to for the purpose of prejudicing
the people against me. As I can’t
be present, I ask that you look after
my interest and see to it that I am
not misrepresented. I understand
that Mr. Thompson claims that he
has done me great service in my
political campaigns. This is un¬
true, as every Democrat in the dis¬
trict is aware. You know he never
made a Democratic speech or help¬
ed the Democrats in any campaign
in your county. I do not suppose
you can find a voter in your county
that Mr. Thompson ever
either in private or on the stump,
to vote for me or any other Demo¬
crat, and how he can so far forget
the truth as to stand up in the very
face of men like you who have
worked for me and claim the Credit
for what you and my other friends
have done for me I can’t understand.
In reply to Mr. Thompson’s at¬
tacks on me, I desire to say, that
there is nothing which he now says
against me that he did not know at
the the time time when when he he claims rlMm- th-,t that he he
alone elected me—the only differ-
ence be : ng, at that time he was not
L himself .„ „ a candidate tor f Congress; n
therefore his own criticisms of me
show that he either deceived and
misled the people by not telling
them what he knew against me
when he was not a a cand-date a te ’ or or
there is no truth in . what he says

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
knowc 1 to the California Fig Sykcp
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
b*ue 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 ite beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company —

about me now, and he can take his
choice of position and byjeither he
condemns himself.
Mr. Thompson should at least be
truthful and fair. I have done more
for him and his brother-in-law,Sam
Dunlap, as you are aware, than for
any other two men in the district,
and they seem to appreciated it less,
Hoping to herr from you soon,
and assuring you of my appreciation
of your loyal friendship, I am,
Your friend, F. C. Tate.
1st. You claim “that with war
staring this contry in the face you
colud not leave your pos* of duty,”
etc., yet on the 17th of March last,
the day before the committee met
in Atlanta to arrange for a joint
discussion between us, you were on
hand “to advance your political in¬
terest” and advise with your friends
on the committee, and again when
the executive committee of this dis¬
trict met here on the 22d instant for
the purpose of calling a convention
to nominate a candidate for Con¬
gress and arrange the preliminaries
therefor, you left your “post of
duty,” although war was actuall*
on, and is now officially declared to
have begun on the 21st i i to ad-
vance your political interest,” and
advise with your friends on the
committee, and again when the ex¬
ecutive committee of this district
met here on the 22d instant for the
purpose of calling a convention to
nominate a candidate for Congress
and arrange the preliminaries there¬
for, you left your “post of duty, ? 5
although war w’as actually on, and
is now officially declared to have
begun on the 21st, “to advance
your political interest,” and w r ere
on hand to advise with your friends
f or that purpose,
2d. You say, “that everv scheme
and plan known to the slick politi-
cian will be resorted to for the pur-
pose of prejudicing the people
against” you. The whole context
of the letter show’s that this charge
is intended for me. I defy you to
produce a single letter that I have
written, personal or otherwise, that
will in any way pro^e this assertion,
[ n ni y speeches before the commit-
tee failed to arrange a joint discus¬
sion between us, I never uttered
your name, and since that time I
have assaulted you only in tne open,
.
an d if I have done you an injustice
I hope you will meet me face to face
in the three discussions arranged by
the Democratic executive commit-
tee of Habersham county and prove
it. Don't now stab me in the back
under J the guise . of personal , , letters.
If I cannot prove all I have charg-
ed 4 against • you when i m your pres-
ence I will take pleasure in with-
drawing them *
-d. You say further, “I under-
s tand Mr Thompson * claims that
he has done great .
me service in my

and 80 do the records sho " ’ that 1
have been a member of the Con-
gressional , campaign committee ot ,
this district and did all I could in
' vour behalf, and in the last cam-
Daign v . in . the convention . in . t u is
county I tried . to have delegates in¬ .
structed for you by that meeting,
notwithstanding the executive
committee of the county had named
a later date for the selection of dele¬
gates to the Congressional conven¬
tion. I did this for you in spite of
the following letter from you :
Washington, June 3, 1896.—
Dear Howard : I have done as you
suggested in reference to White
and Lumpkin. We can carry both
of these counties. Look out for
delegates to the State convention
and see to it that our friends are*
selected as delegates to the conven¬
tion. 1 don’t see how you can se-
lect a regular delegation from your
county on Saturday unless it is ail¬
thoiized , by executive . commit-
your
tee. The trouble is the delegates to
the county convention were not se¬
lected for this purpose, or in the
orignial call there was no authority
given the county convention to se-
lect delegates to the Congressional
convention. . \\ e have got them
beat; don’t give them any just
ground to kick.
Your friend,
F. C. Tate.
I was actively aiding you in every
county in rhis judicial circuit in
your last canvass,and you and thous¬
ands of other Democrats of the dis¬
trict knew this to be true. You
came to my house the Saturday be¬
fore the executive committee ofthis
district met, with S. C. Dunlap,
who held the proxy of Olive Wyly
of Towns county, who is your cous¬
in, and earnestly begged me not to
go to White Superior court, which
met Monday morning thereafter,
but remain in Gainesville to be
present at the meeting of the com-
mittee, and to aid you in devising
ways and means to defeat Col. Per-
ry. After full conference it was
agreed that I should go to White
court, as I could be of more service
there than at Gainesville, and I
went and Dulap remained,met with
the executive committee and aided
you in every way in his power. In
your other two campaigns I was
equally as active for you.
4. The charge that I never asked
a voter to vote for you or any other
Democrat, etc., is equally as barren
of truth.
5th. The charge I now make
against you were, I confess, un¬
known to me in your previous can¬
vasses, and the fact that you now
fail to speak of them, so the people
may know what they are, shows
that you think they cannot be satis¬
factorily explained to an exacting
public,and if they could your friends
on the joint committee to arrange
for our canvass would have been
glad to have you meet me.
6th. Again you say, 1 1 Mr.
Thompson should at least be truth¬
ful and fair. I have done more for
him and his brother-in-law, Sam
Duniap, than for any two men in
the district,” etc. In the face of
the record, you again deceive your-
self. Y ou know that the first time
I ran for solicitor general of this
circuit, in iS82,you were a member
of the legislature and promised to
vote for me, and had you kept your
word , 1 T would , , have , , been elected, , _ ,
as
I was only defeated by one vote,and
your votefor me would have chang-
ed the result. In 1886 I was again a
candidate for the same office and you
voted against me but I was elected.
In my last election, at my request,
you were neutral. These are the
only races I ever made when I had
oppositions. Now in what way
have you ever helped me?
On the question of gratitude and
veracity T I . let the record , speak ,r tor
itself, and upon it I am willing to
stand or fall. I am not engaged in
the building ot my political fortunes
and stabbing an opponent in the
back under the guise of personal
letters at the expense of the truth,
Verv truly yours,

HE DISOBEYED ORDERS.
A Brilliant French Officer’s First Achieve
ment on the Field of Battle.
Lejeune, the brilliant aid-de-camp
0 f the Marshals Berthier, Davoufc aud
Oudinofc, gives a very interesting ac¬
count of his first achievement on tha
ield of battle. The French army was
vroesiug the Alps and found itself com-
felled to attack at a great disadvantage
6 town which the Austrians were de¬
fending.
Young Lejeune, who was anxious to
participate in the engagement, was
greatly disappointed when he was or¬
dered to remain at his post in the rear.
When the firing began, his heart beat
furiously, and as the attack progressed
he felt that he could not remain passive
■while his fellow soldiers were perform¬
ing deeds of valor.
Believing himself unnoticed, he hur¬
ried forward, forgetting that the sol
dier’s first duty is obedience, aud just
where the fray seemed to be thickest he
found himself face to face with his com¬
manding officer. The general looked at
the rash young soldier coldly.
“Since you have quitted your post,”
he said, “you may take this order and
recall that company that has gone into
a bad position. ”
Lejeune heard the order with a
strange sensation, for this was an er
rand from which lie was not likely to
return alive. There was no escape, how-
ever, and touching his cap he started on
his perilous mission with a quaking
heart.
For some distance he crept along be¬
hind a pile of rocks that protected him
from the fire of the enemy, but at last
this shelter came to an end. Before him
there remained 100 steps to be taken
under the fire of 200 guns pointed
straight at him.
To go forward was, he believed, cer¬
tain death. To go hack would be eter¬
nal disgrace. The whole army seemed
like an amphitheater around him.
Should he provo himself a coward or a
hero?
“If I die,” thought he, “it will he
only the just penalty of my disobedi¬
ence; if I accomplish my mission, I
shall have proved that I am worthy yet
to fignt in iho wnperor's army. ”
So thinking, he rushed across the
open space amid a storm of cannon balls
and musket shot. Not one of the mes¬
sengers of death touched him, and as if
by a miracle he arrived safe and sound
in the French lines. The delivery of
that order saved the battalion and de¬
cided the destiny of the young officer.
TEXAS SNAKE STORY.
A Rattler and a Mexican Afloat on m
Plank For Hours.
“I have heard of many men being
placed in odd predicaments,” remarked
Captain Jenkins, “but one of the most
peculiar situations that ever befell an
individual was assuredly that of an ig¬
norant Mexican a good many years ago
Pear Indianola, Tex., at the time thf
town was so nearly destroyed by a trop
ical hurricane or cyclone. I have heard
the story many times, although it hap¬
pened so long ago. It was during the
extreme height of the cyclone. Houses
ln Indianola were going to pieces like
so much paper, boats were being wreck-
ed, and it looked decidedly bad for the
individuals who were located in ex-
P osed portions of the coast. It was
about this time that a little Mexican
settlement on one of the coast islands
adjacent to Indianola began to go to
pieces, the water having risen over the
top of tho sand dunes and the waves
smashing the loosely constructed build¬
ings of the settlement into kindling
wood. Jose Baretti, one of the inhabit¬
ants of tho settlement, was separated
from the remainder of his family, and.
dinging to a long plank, was driven in-
to the inner bay over the ruins of the
settlement.
“When the day broke, he was out of
sight of land. The waves had calmed
down and the storm was gone. As he
cast his eye about in the early dawn, to
his horror he found the other end of
the plank occupied by an immense rat-
tlesnake. As soon as the snake observed
the Mexican he began to writhe and
coil in an odd sort of manner, and ap-
parently to make attempts to reach the
poor fellow, whose hair was then stand-
ing on end in a manner wonderful t*
behold. The hours went by. The snake
kept up his antics, but for some reason
did not get any nearer the Mexican,
The unfortunate fellow was afraid to
^ the Pjank knowing that he would
and at the he was m
Zombie fear of . meeting death in a more
terrific manner from snake bite. He lay
on t he end of the plank with his eye»
on tbe 5 afctIer - th ey ^° tb
eyed each other, and this they , kept up
until midday, when a fishing smack
came sailing along on the lookout for
castaways.
“The Mexican was seen from the
boat, and in a short time was hauled
on board mor e dead tban alive- He
pointed weakly at his hissing compan-
ion. The sailors on the smack killed the
rattlesnake and found that he bad jam-
med his tail throD § h a SD3a11 knothole
iu the plank. The immersion of th»
buttons of the rattle in the salt water
had caused them to swell, and he was
unable to remove his4ail from the hole.
To this fortunate circumstance the Mex-
lean owed his life. The fact that the
coast islands contain many rattlers ac¬
counts for the presence of the snake on
the plank. ”—By the Bye in New 0 1 *

THE QUEER PERFORMANCES OF THfc
TWO BLANKS OF NEW YORK.
Mystery of the Man Who Stole Food M
Free Luncheons—Another Man With 1
Historical Name Who Took to Wearing
Old Clothes and Was Dressed.
A decently dressed man, with a sham¬
bling gait and a shifty eye, walked down
Broad street one afternoon last week and
attracted the attention of a broker who
was standing in his office window. The
broker watched the man closely until
the feBow had disappeared around the
corner Into Wall street. He had called i
visitor’s attention to the mr.n.
* ‘ Have yon ever seen that fellow be¬
fore?” he asked.
“His face is familiar, and I am sure
that I have seen him somewhere, but I
can’t place him. Who is he?”
“John Blank,” said the broker, men¬
tioning a family name that "was well
known. “I am a member of three good
clubs,” continued the broker, naming
three that one would naturally place at
the head of the list of New York clubs
“and in the course of a long experience
with the management of them I have
seen some curious club skeletons. They
are unpleasant. Blank was a skeleton in
the--club until we finally got rid
of him, and to this day none of the men
who knew the facts about his expulsion
has ever had any explanation of them.
“So far as family connections are
concerned, Blank is eligible to any club
in this city, and we always understood
that he had a good income. It was about
five years ago, when I was a member of
the house committee, that my attentiov
was first called to Blank. A member
the club came to me one day and s»r2L
“ ‘See here. I’ve got a disagrees b'i<
duty to perform. You know that
fresliments are served at every reguL. 1
meeting of the club, and I have uo&eed
for several mouths back that John
has stowed away a lot of things in his
pockets on every such occasion. ’
«« i Why, that is absurd,’ I replied.
’and I suspect that he has been drinking
too much. You know that these month¬
ly lunches are free to the members. *
* 4 < That was the view that I took of
it the first time that I noticed it,’ he
replied, ‘but I watched this man at the
last meeting very closely. He was not
intoxicated. Ho ate his lunch, and then
I saw him wrap up a piece of chicken,
some lobster salad and a brick of ice
cream in separate packages, put then
under his overcoat and leave the club.
It’s an amazing proceeding, and I think
that it is high time that something wa#
done about it. ’
“This man’s complaint interested me,
and I investigated it. Some of the clut
waiters told me that Blank had occa
sionally taken articles of small value
from the club, and that he always car
ried away a package after a free supper.
There seemed to be no reasonable ex¬
planation for his little steals. He was
and is a lawyer in good practice, and,
as you know, he lives very comfortably.
I consulted with some of the other
house committeemen, and we decided
to look out for Blank at the next sup¬
per. He turned, up promptly, and, sure
enough, we saw him stealthily make u j
a package from the lunch table and
walk out with it. There was nothing
left for us to do but to ask for an ex¬
planation.
“Charges were preferred against him
and a formal notification was sent to
him. Blank paid no attention to it. We
thought that he might not have receiv¬
ed it and we sent him another notifica¬
tion and made sure that it reached him.
Blank ignored it, and then we dropped
him for conduct unbecoming a gentle
man. Blank never came near the club
house after hta first notification, and *
far as I know he has never given an in-
dication of resenting our action in drop-
ping him. Now what do you suppose
was the explanation of his thefts?
never have been able to find one
was satisfactory. It has been asserted
that despite his large income he is nat-
urally a very miserly fellow, but that is
merely gossip. I meet him occasionally,
and he is always affable. It was a disa¬
greeable affair, and to this day an in-
explicable one. ’ ’
A man who had listened attentively
to the broker’s story said:
“I can equal that with an experience
in my own club The man in question
has recently died and it is only charxta-
ble to say that he was probably insane
for several years before he died. He wat
Arthur Blank” mentioning a histor-
ical name. “About three years ago this
man began to wear very shabby clothes,
He had always been very careful in his
<jress, and this change was surprising,
He came to the club and sat around,
looking like a tramp. His linen was
ragged, and even the waiters looked
askance at his clothes. X knew that he
Had. money, but it was not a pleasant
tas k to gag gest to him that he should
get 60me new clothes. He was an old
bachelor, and he had rooms in an ex-
pensive bachelor apartment house. His
condition was a disgrace to the club
an( j a8 a j as t resort half a dozen of hia
0 id friends got up a purse of $100 and
went ^ h ig tailor and ordered a new
so.it of clothes for him. They told the
te ii or t h at i t was i u p ayme nt of a
\yager. When the suit was made, they
packed it in a box with a new hat,
shoes, collars, shirts and two scarfs and
sent it to Blank. A letter was inclosed
which read:
‘‘Dear Blank—B y express I send you the
outfit that I lost by my last election wager.
“The signature was such that no one
«° uld read a There was BOme specula-
tion as to how Blank would take this
hint. Two days later he turned up at
the club in his new clothes, and when
he was congratulated on them he said
they were the result of an election
wager. The new clothes were too much
for him, however. He got drunk on the
etrength of them and staid drunk at the
club for the next two weeks* when h«
was dropped from membership. ’’—New

Doctors Can’t
Cure It!
Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill of the doctors. They
may dose a patient for years on their
mercurial and potash remedies, but he
will never be rid of the disease; on the
other hand, his condition will grow
steadily worse. S. S. S. is the only cure
for this terrible affliction, because it is
the only remedy which disease goes direct to
the cause of the and forces it
from the system.
I was afflicted with Blood Poison, and the
best doctors did me no good, though I took
their treatment faith¬
fully. In fact, I seemed
s' to get worse all the
while. I took almost
every so-called blood
remedy, but they did not
seem to reach the dis¬
4 ease. and had no effect
whatever. I was dis¬
i heartened, for it seemed
that I would never be
cured. At the advice oi
1 K a S. S. friend S., and I began then toim- took
:*w ' ‘ y / ' prove. I continued the
medicine, and it cured me completely, build¬
ing up mv health and increasing my appetite.
Although this was ten years ago, I have never
yet had a sign of the disease to return.

It is like self-destruction to continue
to take potash and mercury; besides
totally destroying- the digestion, they
dry up the marrow in the bones, pro¬
ducing a stiffness and swelling of the
joints, causing the hair to fall out, and
completely wrecking the system.
