Editor Journal: We have been asked to say something in your val uable paper about the new town of Baldwin Really there are so many good things that might truthfully be said of Baldwin and her wonderful progress and Phoenix like growti her capabiht-.eo, and p ssibilities for the future as we!! as the present, that we scarcely know what to say first. To the stranger who is unacquainted with this country, and her varied gifts, it would be a dificult thing to speak of any one of her cardinals points first and thereby reach the point of interest that would be upper most to every individual who might desire to come here. If we first spoke of her healthful climate and deep, wells of icy cold water that brings back flush to the cheeks and loundDess to the limbs ot the afflicted, that might be toe very one thing to interest the one, while another would sav, we are not cairing to here about that, we want to know what about tht financial pmspects of the town and country too, wc want to make money by going there, if we go—Ah l ight ‘here we have you, even if these two points the only incentives. What about a tewr. surrounded by a richly yielding country, whose fertile soil is productive of everything that could be grown in a Southern climate perfection, country which has both supply and demand, a country of pos sibilities and health to enjoy them. Indeed it would surprise any one, who migth have passed the town site of Baldwin one year ago to pa s s again and re view the scene, then a pretty landscape, now a pretty thriving town with building and gardens and orch ards and vineyards and the rattle.and rustle of vehickles coining ana going —bringing in and taking out—ever the result of a business planned to meet the needs of an enterprising peo pie. -A- C.

Americans who have lived ir Mad rid describe the little ex Queen Mei cedes as the most picturesque figure in the Spanish court. She becamee he reigniug, but not ruling, queen when her father died, but lost her shadow of a crown at the birth of her brother six months later. In case of his death, she would again become the sovereign of Spain. She is described as a slight homely young girl, with singularly modes*, sincere bearing* She has shown, too it is said, a womanly sympathy with the poorer class of her people- Upon her seventeenth birthday it was proposed that a magnifice.nt state ball should Vie given at the Escurial in celebration, of the event; but the princess refused, saying that rejoicing and dancing were out of place in the present condition of her country: She asked instead that her birth day should only be marked by her appointment to the presidency of the Red Cross Society in Spain- This was done, and she then receiv ed the directors of the society, women belonging to every class, and after ward drove, with iier mother and the little king, to a hospital near Madrid, and gave a great dinner to scores of wounded Spanish soldiers returned from Cuba and the Philippine Is lands. Wilhelmia of Holland, who is called by her people -‘the dear queen,” recently reached her seventeenth year. A grand ball was given, and the girl sovereign appeared lor the first lime with her hair up and a sweeping train. It is not whollv matter of gossip that about this time a candidate for the place ot king consort of the Neth eilands was urged upon her as the one princ whom the sovereigns ot Europe considered most suitable for her husband. The queen is said to hr ve gi considered the question, and then to have -aid, “I never can love this man, and queen or not, I will not marry a man whom I cannot love.” These “little queens” have the game questions to meet in life as other girls. Their decisions are worth the attention of their untitled sisters. —Youths Companion. Capt. \V. Smith, the gallant Roman who was commissioned last week to raise a company of immune volunteers has already enlisted about 50 of as goud men as ever shouldered a gun. Capt.. Smith says he will finish his command this week and that he will at once notify Col, Ray. the com mander of the regiment and that, his men will be promptly examined and ordered to Mascon. Col. Ray’ regiment will he quarter ed in Macon and will there be aiu tered in as the old Regiment United States volunteers. The regiment will be composed of fair companies each from South Carolina. Georgia and Florida. Those men under Col. Ray will be among the first troops to be ordered to Cuba. Capt Smith says tbat if men want to see service all they havc„to do is to get mustered into his compa ny 31 r. Hayden Again. Editors Journal : After review the subject matter of Mr. Moss’s lit erary production I have sufficient rea son to assert that lie has treated me unfairly in his reply: My last communication contained no accusations whatever and only sug gested that he make a public reputa tion of those charges which have been atloat for for some time past. Had he only made reference to the question,, questions presented and refrained from injecting into his diabolical con glomeration of insinuation and denials, those things pertaining to moral char acter. and other insults which he or no other living person can verity, would have taken no notice of the same. lie has written two articles previous to the last one evidently referring to me as his expression “Smoking your Washington correspondent out” im plies. I did not wish to assume the role ot a coward so ventured a reply. No blame can be attached to me in anv particular as I have authority for every statement made in regard to Mr. Moss. I will proceed to give the true circumstances of this affair or as much space will permit. He begins by barking up the wrong stump. Applies to my lather the epi thet ‘ whi h every one kuows to be a slang expression appluß to a negro. Accuses bin - '■ is "tv to this controversy. anoai.ce his informant on that question a pu si’lanimo nr of the first degree. Jonas M..rtin and I wrote those Washington lo als. Can prove by a legitimate No. of witnesses that my father was unconcerned in the writing of my lasi, communication, eitb r to advise or suggest. I wrote the a. dole j while awav from home and the same was never changed thereafter e tlie r in wording or substance. All I have ever heard my father sav about Mr. Moss during the time when said Moss was making repeated efforts to cause iny removal from the Homer office. Now Mr: Moss as my father has not attacted you publicly you should have the manhood to abstain from referring to him in that manner. State* your grievances personally, I toil from sun to sun. Have no time to practice writing Cor publication, but however imperfect my style may be, I gener paddle my own canoe. As regards your going going to a prominent lawyer for advice, my in formers were T. E. Anderson and others. They might have misunder stood the matter as the Cos!, expressed it to them. I rather surmise that in •ident relative to vour maqing prep aration to lease out Harmony Grove postoffice to a democrat, Alvon Ap plehy, Tim document was a bond eh? I have no gold to offer as a re ward for proof of dishonesty in any of my transactions I haven’t had the opportunities for making money in such large quantities. In case of your resignation as County Chairman. I move you be promoted to the State Chairmanship you will then have a broader fiehl in which to manipulate- I don’t say you sold out, but do say that your royal highness, occupying such an influential position should di rect your public actions so as to be above, suspicion. What Mr. Dooly wrote me, you fl .tly contradicted. He saysvou came to with the p.oposition, six hundred dollars, after he interviewed you on the subject in Harmony Grove. Mr. Doolv is well known, honored and respected in Jackson county. What about the Jefferson bank proceeding, the recording of a mort ga_e and etc in the clerk’s office? I can furnish you with Thos. E- Anderson’s affidavit that you offered to aid him in securing *•’ Harmony Grove pestaffico for ast ted turn. Did vou not suggest to T. E. An derson mu! Vm. E- Martin that you three wouul be able to control the patronage of Banks and adjoining counties, and endeavor to make a mutual agreement to charge a in mi— nal fee for indorsing others for posi tions? Tuat T. E. Anderson receive the money and divide proporlioi.a.ly with you? They refusing to enter into any su ,- h agreement? Why did you not deny those charges to your most intimate friends about the time of your lesignation? Evt dently you were not expecting a ne wspa |ier con trovers y. Hail I endorsed Mr. Thompson for the position, what’s dishonorable about that? There was to republi can aspirant, Did you not endorse a populist? Tell uie what there is in populism that so out shines democ racy? If you be a true republican, your views are as diametrically in opposition to those of populists as night and day, fire and water. Of what political faith is Dunson pray? No you did not tell me you were going to report me to the depail oastouxal. Bears the Ttlß KM VoujjaiieAlways Bought 'T* ment. You said it would he done by some of the patrons of the offico anil intimated y..u would not concern yourself in the matter. Of course I understood the purport of your words and knew you were using an ironical expression. Yes you tried to remove me two different times, also t.he present postmaster at Lula, and pretended that you wyuld give five hundred dollars to have the present incumbent at Hormonj Grove dismissed. What I ever did to justify you in making these vigor ous attempts I can’t tell. Why you took steps of a like character all the while I can’t understand, unless yon weie confronted by the presentment of visionary phanjoms of pecuniary advancement. I have no ill S° f grudge against you whatever because of your efforts to thwart me in my attempts. What yon did to iniure me was yonr privi’ege. I do not desire to villify yon or ctrculore these reports, but its my God given, blood bought privilege to resent insult, and as you “Smoked me out” as you terra it, shall do so to the last You are 100 well known already to be injured any by the exposure of your schem ing graspv tricks. At the time f made application for the Homer office did not have the least id eft that my fateer would move cut of that community. After my a ii’tment cime, IkneW full well it w< 1 tie impossible for me to devote my whom time to the office. Mv father being in feeble heuMi and in terested in business and farming needed my attention, and therefore di v ided my time between the office and home interests. After you came to me in June with your threats, 1 only promised m your presence to board in Homer and teach the sum mer term of my school at. Silver Shaal. You said there would be no imp-opriety in that ns I would be within the delivery of the office and hade me God speed. All the while 1 was only waiting a favorable time to resign md as soon as the busy season of spring set in, I did so- It would have been impos sible for me to have given my per sonal attention to the office after that time without matting a sacrifice. All the contract ever made between Thompson and I was made of my own free will. Didn’t have to bind myself by any contracts in order to make my bond- As in your case n wasn’t necessary for me to give mort gage securities to my bondsmen. Wasn’t reduced to any such straits- The veracity of the following an them will iu every instance prove itselt apparent. “Truth crushed to earth will rise again” Paul Hayden. When you start out to“taekle’’ the finytribe don’t forget to lake a bottle of Dr. Tichenor’s Antiseptic. Nothing equal to it fov tin wounds, fish hook wounds bits and stings of insects and it is no bad tiling for “snake bite ” Remember it cures colic also while you wait about ten minutes.
