Less Liquor Drinking.
The bulletin for the Federal de-
partment of labor for July gives
figures to show that there has been
a large decrease in the consumption
of intoxicating liquors by tlie peo-
pie of this country, Iti 18S0 the
consumption of distilled spirits in
the United Stales was 2 4 gallons
every man, woman and child; in
1896 it was less than one gallon.
Such a decrease in the use of
strong drink probably never occur¬
red before among any people.
There has also been a decrease in
the use of wine in this country.
The per capita consumption of
wine in 1880 was .29 of a gallon.
But while there has been some
decrease in the use of wine and a
very great decrease in tlie use of
whiskey, brandy, gin and other
spirits, the consumption of beer has
increased immensely.
In 1896 no less than 1,170,379,-
448 gallons of beer were used in
this country. The beer used for
medicines, in cooking and for other
purposes except drinking is com¬
paratively very small. The great
bulk of the beer consumed in 1S96
was drunk. Tlie per capita con¬
sumption of beer in 1S80 was only
1.36 gallons. By 1896 it had in¬
creased to 13.16 gallons.
In spite of this fact there is good
reason to believe that there has
been a great growth of temperance
among our people during the past
eighteen years. Their larger use of
mild drinks is more than compen¬
sated for by the great reduction of
the quantity of strong and fiery
liquors.
Profiting By Experience.
An exchange says: Great as
was our victory at Santiago we
learned something from the enemy
there.
It was demonstrated clearly that
the brown, or smokeless, powder is
far superior to the black powder,
which most of our troops used.
Our ordnance bureau has been
quick to profit by this experience,
and its promptness in doing so is to
be commended. Twenty thousand
Krag-Jorgensen rifles have been
shipped for the use of volunteers
in the expedition to Forto Rico.
Nearly all the volunteers at Santia¬
go had the comparity antiquated
Springfield ritles. A majority of
them will have to use the Spring-
fields at least for some time to come,
but the ordnance bureau will here¬
after supply only cartridges loaded
with smokeless powder. This will
an advantage to troops using
Springfield rifles which they did
not possess at Santiago. Every
movement of our troops in that en¬
gagement was clearly revealed to
the Spaniards by the heavy smoke
of their tiring, whereas it was often
difficult to locate the Spanish sharp¬
shooters because they use smokeless
powder as did the entire Spanish
army. It is strange that the ord¬
nance bureau did not learn before
now that there is no comparison be¬
tween brown and black powder.
The fact that all the great armies
had long ago abandoned the latter
should have been a sufficient in¬
struction without waiting for the
bloody object lesson at Santiago.

Looking for a Location.
The Department of the South
sent an agent to Toccoa Tuesday to
see about leasing the grounds at
Toccoa Falls from Mr. E. P. Simp-
son for purpose of bivouacing troops
ot the United States here, and es
tablishing a regular camp for 5000
soldiers.
The officer was well pleased with
Toccoa and its accessibility, and
said that he had visited Niagara
Falls and other places but that Toc¬
coa was superior to them all for a
camp in the present war with
Spain, because of Toccoa’s health¬
fulness, railway facilities for reach¬
ing the seaboard and its whole¬
some atmosphere, freeness from
mosquitoes, and pure mountain wa¬
ter.
It is probable, now that Spain
has sued for peace with our govern¬
ment, that no new camps will es¬
tablished, but that in a few days or
weeks—at most,—the soldiers will
be discharged, this relieving the
necessity for new camps, We
would be glad to have a camp es¬
tablished here, but we think there
is little hope now that Spain has
declared that she has had enough of
war.
A prominent statistician lias figur-
out the wheat crop of the United
States for 1898. He puts it at 775,-
000,000 bushels, larger by 150,000,-
000 bushels than any other crop
over harvested, and 245,000,000
more than last year’s yield. With
free silver and dollar wheat we
should be the most prosperous na¬
tion on earth. v
We are glad to learn that the in
jured by the wreck on the Tallulah

Johnson is walking around his

throw away his crutches. Askew
and Shirley have gone to work
again. All trestles on the Tallulah
Falls Railroad are being rebuilt or
repaired so as to make the safe. A
settlement has been agreed upon
with all the injured parties, by late
wreck, save the widow of Clinton
Ivie, the only man whe died from
the effect of injuries received.—

America’s Slaves.
Is this the land our fathers loved?
The freedom which they toiled to win?
Is this the soil whereon they moved ?
Are these the gtaves they slumber in?
Are we the sons by whom are borne
The mantles which the dead have worn?
Of human skulls the shrine was made,
Round which the priest of Mexico
Before the loathsome idol prayed—
Is freedom’s altar fashioned so ?
And must we yield to freedom’s God,
As offering mete, the worker’s blood?
Shall tongues be mute, when deeds are
wrou ht,
Which well might shame extremes! hell ?
Shall freedom lock the indignant thought?
Shall pity’s bosom cease to swell?
Shall honor bleed? shall truth succumb? j
Shall pen, and press, and soul be dumb? j
No! By each spot of haunted ground j
Where freedom weeps her children’s fall
By Plymouth rock and Bunker’s mound,
By Griswold’s stained and shattered
wall—
By Warren’s ghost by Langdon’s shade—
By all the memories of our dead!
By their enlarging souls, which burst
The bands and fetters around them set —
By the free pilgrim spirit nursed
Within our inmost bosom, yet—
By all above—around—below—
Be ours the indignant answer—No!

Col. Robertson’s Generosity.
Atlanta Constitution.
Demorest, Ga., July 23.—Col. J.
VV. Robertson, formerly a citizen
of Habersham county, now a citi¬
zen of Cobb county, has made glad
the heart of the president of J. S.
Green College and its friends, by
presenting to the college several
hundred books and magazines, add¬
ing largely thereby to the value of
the library. But he stopped not
here ; to the boarding hall for girls
he gave many articles of furniture,
etc.
To this noble man the citizens ol
Demorest and the patrons of the
J. S. Green College are indebted
largely for the phenomenal success
of the institution. He has gone
from us broken in health, but car-
rying with him the love and esteem
of all.
One of the saddest scenes ever
witnessed took place at his depart¬
ure ; the factory operatives,to whom
he has been more than a mere su¬
pervisor, wept like children, and
said with quivering voices: “There
goes our truest, best friend.”
The factory, the college; in fact
all northeast Georgia will miss him.
May his physical strength yet be
renewed, and the day soon come
when, almost young again, he will
be permitted to return to our moun¬
tain section.
The Poor Pay the War Tax.
Congress was very careful to
place the greater part of the two-
millon-dollar-a-day war burden on
the people, but nearly, if not quite,
all the wealthy corporations which
were expected to have some share
in paying the revenue have manag¬
ed to shift the load wholly onto the
sholders of the poor consumers. As
the Chicago Dispatch declares:
“When by act of Congress a tax
was placed on telegraph message
and express packages, the idea was
that the corporations managing
these matters should pay the tax.
But this is not at all the idea accept¬
ed by the corporations. With re¬
markable unanimity and cheerful
alacrity the corporations have shift
the burden, and are requiring the
people who send telegraphic mes¬
sages and express packages to pay
the tax. Some misguided individ¬
uals are disposed to object to this
proceeding, and are endeavoring
through suits at law to force the
corporations to pay the impost lev¬
ied by the government. Suppose
by some peculiar freak of the law
this view of the people should be
sustained. What would be gain-
ed?”
The Dispatch correctly answers,
j 1 -‘Simply the privilege of paying
t j le tax w j t h a i arge per cent a dd e d
for good measure, in an increase bv
the corporations of their telegraph
and express charges. Fully Soper
of the war tax was placed ^ on arti 1
of necessity, thus directly
dening the people. Out of the en-
tire anount of taxation the poor are
j required to pay 60 per cent. It is
j j estimated 30 per cent will be paid
by the fairly will to do, and 10 per
j cent by the rich. Death and taxa-
tion are said to come to all, but
j death is the only impartial visitation
j upon rTth and poor alike.

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 £ lgs 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 —

M’KINLEY WRITES
GENERAL GORDON
Says He Is Truly Grateful For
the Recolutions of the Veterans.
President McKinley is truly grate¬
ful for the sentiments of loyalty
and allegiance expressed by the
message from the confederate vet¬
erans sent by Commanding General
Gordon during the reunion held in
Atlanta last week. The resolutions
which were telegraphed to the presi¬
dent were passed by the veterans
at one of their meetings, and ex.
pressed the deep concern they feel
in the success of the American arms
in Cuba, and offered their services
to the president if they were need-
ed.
The passing of the resolutions
was one of the most significant
things that the convention of vet*
erans did, and will be appreciated
by all patriotic citizens, who love to
know that the country is reunited
and that the confederate veterans
are as anxious to fight for the stars
and stripes as they were for the
stars and bars thirty-eight years
ago.
The resolutions were offered to
the convention by General Stephen
D. Lee, of Mississippi, and were
unanimously passed amid cheers
and the wildest enthusiasm. There
was not a dissenting voice raised
agains them.
The letter which the president
writes to the General Gordon is as
follows :
Executive Mansion, Washington,
D. C., July 23. To Hon. JohnB.
Gordon, Commander-in-chief Unit¬
ed Confederate Veterans, Atlanta,

the army of the United States,
which left Guantanamo Bay during

today after a skirmish with a de-

the Spaniards were killed and no
Americans were hurt.
The troops were pushed forward
promptly in order to capture the

only about ten miles east of this
place.
The ship left Guantanamo Bay

Shafter’s Troops to Have Holiday.
Washing, July 26.—Adjutant
General Corbin said today that the
question of the disposition of the
troops under General Sbafter at
Santiago was not yet settled. It is
certain, however, that there will be
no general movement of troops from
Santiago until aUer the Spanish
prisoners have been removed, and
there is some definite military pro¬
gress in Forto Rico.
Tne health conditions of the army
at Santiago will have considerable
to do with the future movements of
those troops. The war department
is taking steps for the establish¬
ment of reserve camps at conven¬
ient places in the United States.
The military medical authorities
are confident of their ability to han¬
dle and stamp out disease among
the troops in eastern Cuba. When
that has been accomplished it is
more than probable that the major¬
ity ot the troops there may be re*
turned to the United States and
given a short holiday prior to the
institution of the campaign against
Havana, and it is not improbable
| that some of the regiments which
are entirely free from disease may
be allowed to come to the United
States in advance of any general
j movement in that direction. Great
I care will be taken to avoid the in¬
troduction of yellow fever into the
United States.

TOCCOA
In the Georgia Healthly Highlands
A Pleasant Place to Spend
the Summer.
In the Indian tongue, tlie name Toccoa signifies “the beautiful.” And this ehariUi
ing town, with its swelling slopes and winding streams 1100 feet above the level of the
sea > overlooks a pleasing expanse of surrounding country enjoys an atmosphere at
once invigorating and wholesome, and is lifted high above all malarial influences. In
the winter months the average temperature is about 40, and in summer 60 to 70 degrees
Fahrenheit. According to scientific dicta, its elevation is ijust sufficient to avoid de¬
bility, and to benefit in the highest degree those affected with rheumatism and pulmo¬
nary disorders. The water, flowing in many places from cool and gravel-beded springs,
and from Toccoa creek and other streams, is pure and refreshing.
The magnificent Southern Railway, with a branch from Toccoa tiW- on, passes
through the town, conveying passengers directly to and from Washin3|y,^rl Baltimore,
Philadelphia, New York, and Boston, or to Atlanta, New Orleans and Savannah. Ti'he
service is first-class, the transit rapid, regular and safe i
Toccoa has a population, including its vicinity, of about 2, .TOO: it enjoys gootf\hank-
ing facilities, well managed schools, and an excellent municipal government. Ephieo-
pal, Presbyterian, houses here Baptist engaged and in Methodist nearly churches line of are trade: well sustained, numerous indusniPr 1^
ness are every while the largest
(in the manufacture of furniture, cotton cloth, leather, etc.,) are both profitable and
progressive.
As a community, Toccoa impresses a stranger most favorably. The hospitality,
kindliness, good temper and love of peace, which are characteristic of its citizens, both
in social, business and public affairs, render Toccoa a most pleasant place of sojourn;
there are no brothels; no noticeable vicious elements.
Among the most interesting physical features is the neighborhood of Toccoa, the
Falls, two miles distant, may he named as indeed a thing of beauty. A pleasant road
winds out from tlie town northward, leading the visitor to an amphitheatre of wooded
heights, between which he approaches a great wall of rock rising nearly 200 feet to a
narrow plateau. Over this rocky face glide the clear waters of Toccoa creek, falling in.
two swift cascades, like flowing veils of snowy white, into the deep clear pool,
which lies below, 180 feet, or 20 feet higher than Niagara.
Three miles to the southwest of Toccoa rises the majestic front of “Old. Currahee. ,r
tear... 800 feet above sea level: A semi-circle of ridges sweep away from tlie great
monarch like trains of followers; and among their woody recesses their are many pos-
Abilities for tourist and sportsman.
The Toccoa auditorium and Tabernacle used for summer protracted meetings, lec¬
tures etc., by the best talent obtainable is an institution of which the city is justly
proud. Its meetings furnish pleasure to thousands of people each year. Toccoa is well
fitted to make a pleasant home for all summer or winter visitors. All such are welcom¬
ed, ami letters of inquiry are cheerfully and promptly answered. The high altitude;
the life-giving mountain breezes: tlie numberless cool, chrytal springs; the pure, soft
water in wells and streams, and the mild seasons with tlier gentle changes, all combine
to make this favored region the most surpassingly healthful on the face of the earth.
No malaria exists, and malarial diseases are unknown in the vicinity of Toccoa
No epidemic has ever prevailed.
This region is absolutely free of yellew fever visitations. That fatal disease lias
never been epidemic in any part of the world with an altitude of 700 feet or more above
sea level. During the summer of 1888, when the yellow fever was decimating the pop¬
ulating of Florida, and spreading consternation among the cities of northen Alabama
when it dealt death daily, and in 1893 when Brunswick was devastated by this dread
disease, north Georgia opened her generous arms to receive the fear stricken refugees,
even though the yellow scourge had already attacked them. The terrified fugitives-
came by thousands came with fever fires consuming them; came with the touch of death
on their sallow faces; came almost hopeless and desparing—and breathing tlie pure air
of Georgia’s highlands their health and strength returned.
And northen Georgia did not suffer for its generous welcome. The fever did not
spread. No new cases were reported from contact with the refugees, and those who
caught the infection before they came, speedily recovered.
For more than two generations this part of Habersham county has been famed
throughout the entire South for its unsurpassed healthfulness.
Thefar-f imed Falls of Tallulah are sixteen miles northwest of Toccoa; and there
may he witnessed some of Natures grandest and-most awful handiwork. A succession
of rushing cataracts, falls and cascades descend through a raeky gorge which growing
deeper and wider below, suddenly narrows until the towering walls hover over the
gloomy abysm beneath. From the bed of the turbulent river to the liightest portion of
these rugged declivities, winding, and sometimes dangerous, paths afford a narrow
footing along a dismal ascent of from 1,000 to 1,800 feet.
Twelve Passenger Trains stop here daily.

A splendid lake of pure, fresh spring water comes right up to the hotel
