The war with Turkey yesterday

Assistant Commissioner of Ag¬
riculture Wright, of Elberton, was
in the city a short while last Satur¬
day. Mr. Wright is making him¬
self acquainted with the needs of
the farming class of Georgia, and
says that his department will do all
in itsjpower to help them. lie and
Commissioner Stevens desires the
farmers to inquire frequetnly of
them for any information which
theyhave at their disposal.
The Carnesville Advance is the
name of a new democratic paper at
Carnesville. Our friend and.fellow
sufferer Gus King and J. R. Dorcb
are the editors, As an Advance
guard may the new paper keep
well to the front in everything that
is good for the people of old Frank¬
lin and democracy and “out of
sight” in Advance of its creditors,
should it have the same experience
as other noble, but good papers—
some of which are yet alive, some
dieing and some already dead.
Here’s luck to you Gus ; may you
outrun ’em.
For The Farmers.
Recently we had occasion to
write to Commissioner of Agricul¬
ture Stevens about disseminating
matter from his office which would
benefit and aid the farmers of Geor¬
gia, through the weekly newspa¬
per*.
In reply he said :
“Glad you like article on wheat
which we gave the papers last
week. Our people must quit plant¬
ing so largely of cotton or total
wreck will be the result. If the
the appropriation from the state will
permit it,I hope to take up the mat¬
ter of reaching the farmer through
weekly press, after January 1st.
One fourth of the appropriation
for this department, was diverted
this year, for the Entomolgist, and
consequently Col. Nesbitt was able
to do very little along this line. If
the state will give us something to
work with, I will do all in my
power to help the farmers, but can
do nothing without money.”
Now this is a pretty mess! The
department which backs up every
fabric of government without
money enough to disseminate news
to the farmers, which of itself is
very important—facts proved from
experiments at the state’s experi¬
mental station, and gathered from
all sources, which Mr. Stevens
would be glad to give to the farm¬
ers if he could.
Our solons go to Atlanta to pass
upon laws to help them make more
fees,and care but very little about
legislation which would help those
upon whom we all depend—the
farmer. The money is needed for
sending out bulletins, plate matter
to country papers, postage, express
and many other things connected
with that department.
Now* in all sober earnestness, we
hope the legislature will give Mr.
Stevens ample funds upon which
to run his department; his depart¬
ment is worth more to the state
than any other department and will
do more good if given the opportu¬
nity.
We say give Mr. Stevens both
the opportunity and the funds.

Queen Regent Must Qive Up All Title
to the Islands and Accept $20,000,'
000 In Cash Therefor.
Paris, November 21.—The Span¬
ish and American peace commis¬
sions met in joint session at 2 o’
clock this afternoon. The Amer¬
icans declared the United States
must have the entire Philippine
archipeligo and for a treaty cession
of the islands the Americans ten¬
dered to Spain $20,000,000.
It is further declared that it is
the purpose of the United States to
maintain the Philippine islands as
an “open door to the world’s com¬
merce.
On the terms named the United
States proposes a mutual relinquish¬
ment of all claims for indemnity,
national or personal, subsequent to
the outbreak of the last Cuban in¬
surrection.
November 28th is the day fixed
as the date on which the United
States commission desires a definite
response to today’s propositions
and all other subjects in issue here.
It is also declared that the Uni¬
ted States desires to treat of the le-
ligious freedom of the Caroline is¬
lands, as agreed upon by the Uni¬
ted States and Spain in 1886, and
also of the acquisition of one ot the
Caroline islands for an American
naval station and of cable landing
rights at other places in Spanish
jurisdiction and the revival of cer¬
tain Spanish-American treaties as
heretofore in force.
The Americans also refuse to ar¬
bitrate article 3 of the protocol
bearing upon the future disposition
and control of the Philippine is¬
lands.
The memorandum of the Ameri¬
can commission embodying the
above propositions is long and was
not read in fulV. The vital portions,
however, were Communicated ver¬
bally to the Spanish commission¬
ers in practically these terms.
TERMS SUBMITTED BY UNITED
» STATS v S-Sk K \
-
“The fact was cited fc(iat the pro¬
posal presented by the '^American
commissioners in behalf of. the gov¬
ernment for the cession of Ijie Phil¬
ippine islands to the UnitedfStates
having been rejected by the Span¬
ish commissioners, and the counter
proposal of the latter for the w^h-
drawal of American forces from
the islands and the payment of an
indemnity by the United States to
Spain having been rejected by the
American commissioners, the latter
deeming it essential that the pres¬
ent negotiations, already greatly
protracted, should be brought to
an early and definite conclusion,
now begged to present a new prop¬
osition embodying the concessions,
which for the sake of peace their
government would, under the cir¬
cumstances be willing to tender.
The government of the United
States is unable to modify the pro¬
posal heretofore made for the ces¬
sion of the entire archipeligo of the
Philippines.
But the American commissioners
are authorized to offer Spain, in
case the cession is agreed to, the
sum of $20,000,000, to be paid in
accordance with the terms to be
fixed in the treaty of peace.
It being the policy of the United
States to maintain the Philippines
as an open door to the world’s com¬
merce, the American commission¬
ers are prepared to insert in the
treaty now ill contemplation, a
stipulation to the effect that, for a
term of years, Spanish ships and
merchandise shall be admitted into
the Philippine ports on the same
terms as American ships and mer¬
chandise.
The American commissioners are
also authorized and are prepared
to insert in the treaty in connection
with the cession of territory by
Spain to the United States by a vi¬
olation of the mutual relinquish¬
ment of all claims for indemnity,
national and individual, of every
kind, of the United States against
Spain, and of Spain against the
United States which may have
ar ; sen s j nce the beginning of the
late Cuban insur rection. » I
NEAREST APPROACH TO AN ULTI¬
MATUM.

A Purplv hie RIood :
A rureiy vegeuiuic OIUVU
Remedy is the Only
Cure.
If the people generally knew the
true cause of Rheumatism, there j
would be no such thing as hni-
ments and lotions tor this painful
and disabling disease. The fact xs,
Rheumatism is a disordered state
of the blood—it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate
disease, one which requires a real
blood remedy —something more than
a mere tonic. Swift’s Specific is
the only real blood remedy, and it
promptly goes to the very bottom
of even the most obstinate case.
A few years ago I was taken with in¬
flammatory Rheumatism,which,though gradually
mild at first, became so in¬
tense that I was for weeks unable to
walk. I tried several prominent physi¬
cians and took their treatment faith¬
fully , but was unable to get the slightest
relief. In fact, my condition seemed to
grow worse, the pains spread over my
entire body, ana from November to
March I suffered agony. I tried many
patent medicines, but none relieved me.
Upon the advice of a friend I decided to
try 8. 8. S. Before allowing me to take
it, however, my guardian, who was a
chemist, analyzed the remedy, and pro¬
nounced it free of potash or mercury.
Spanish islands of the West Indies
and Guam, in the form in which
demands have been* provisionally
agreed to. In this event it will be
possible for the joint commission to
continue its session and proceed to
the consideration and adjustment of
other matters, including those
which as subsidiary and incidental
to the principal provisions, should
form part of the treaty ot peace.
It was at this juncture that the
Americans notified the Spaniards
that they desired to treat of the re¬
ligious freedom of the Caroline is¬
lands, as agreed to twelve .years
ago ; also of the release of political
prisoners now held by Spain in
connection with the insurrections
in Cuba and the Philippine islands ;
also of the taking over of the island
of Kusaie or Ualan, in the Caroli¬
nes, for a telegraphic and naval
station ; also of cable station rights
at other points in Spain’s jurisdic¬
tion, and also of the renewal of'cer-
tain treaties previously in force be¬
tween the United States and Spain,
and which may have elapsed or
been vitiated by war.
The commissions then adjourned
until Wedneeday next.
Money Was Paid.
Saturday’s Atlanta Journal.
A few weeks ago the Russell &
Mulkey Co., of Toccoa, Ga., failed
and made a deed of assignment
owing something like $11,000.
Mr. D. J. Simpson was the as¬
signee. Tire company at the time
'had assets of about $8,000. A
large number ojf creditors, in fact,
a majority of *tbem, accepted 60
cents on the dollar of the amount
of their claims by 'way of a com¬
promise. The Bass Dry Goods
company and two or three others
refused to accept the compromise
and employed Maddox ! & Terrell,
attorneys of this city, ’ to file
a
petition in bankruptcy against the
Russell & Mulkey company. This
the lawyers did. As soon ’as the
papers were served by the United
States marshal the defendants
offered to pay Messrs. Maddox^&
Terrell the claims they represented
dollar for dollar, with cost and
attorneys’ fees. This was
satisfactory to these lawyers and
their clients, and the settlement
was entered into today.
Jubge Newman was requested by’
the attorneys in opened court this
morning to allow the bill to be dis¬
missed. The bill was filed on the
10th day of November, and the full
amounts claimed by the pe¬
titioning creditors were paid over
today.
Spain Won’t Pay Cuban Debt.
Madrid, No\ember 20. In po-
litical circles it is asserted that an
agreement has been reached be¬
tween the peace commissioners in
Paris.
The government, it is semi¬
officially announced, intends to
notify the Cuban bondholders that
Spain will nor pay the Cuban debt,
i which will not be mentioned in . the
