There is no reason to doubt the sincerity ot the statement which lias come virtually direct from theemper of Germany, which disclaims any in-, tentional on the part of that govern ment to interfere in any way in anr war with Spain A dispatch from Washington to ti e New York Tribune indicates that our state depaitmentis assured of per fect neutrally on the part of Germany It, says: “One of the liigbesL officials of the state department brands the story that Germany contemplates nterfer witii our occupation of Manila ab surd, He said it could be announced Upon the highest authority that there is not a word of truth in the report, and, furthermore, that Germany has been one of the foremost among Eu ropean nations in maintaining the strictest neutrality. “The state department receives daily reports from its representatives abroad. Ambassador White, at Ber lin, who is in a position to learn of any intended interference by the Ger man emperor, has never mentioned the subject. In a private dispatch he says the feeling in Germany tow ard the United States h friendly.” We have never believed that the German newspapers who have held an unfriendly tone toward our gov ernment since the hostilities with Spain began indicated the temper or intentions of the emperor. In fact the newspapers which arc closest to the emperor and are supposed to un derstand his policy better than any other journals have been very con servative in their treatment of ques tions growing out o’ this war. We are not surprised t.nat Emper William is indignant a* the gross and and persistent nrsrep eseniations of bis position and views which have been made by some newspapers both n this country and Europe. Until vve get better evidence to .sustain the idea that Germany con templates interference at Manila we will be safciri dismissing all talk of Chat character as ijn worthy of serious ■ .uisidaiatiou. — Mlanta Jo-uiml ss<'o SAVED.

The Masonic g. and lodge of the State of Washington has voted to recognize negro lodges and their au thority to confer degrees when such lodges bold charters from the Grand Lodge of England. This is the first recognition of negro Masonry by any grand lodge in the United States. Theoretically, the Masonic order is a univeisal brotherhood, within certain limitations touchiug upon personal merits: In practice in this country, however, a line between the races has been adhered to aud will probalv continue to he adhered to except in extremely isolated cates. It is not likely tnat other grand lodges will be quick to follow the example of the Grand Lodge of Washington.—Ex A Cure For Dyspepsia, I was troubled with liver trouble, & my stomach was out of order, & afte eatir.g my breakfast would throw up what I eat. It went on this way for about two years. At last, after trying other remedies without any good effect I was induced to try Ramon’s Liver Fills and Tonic Pellets, After using one or two boxes I found myself in a healthy condition. I use them ecca sonally yet, always when in need of pills. I consider them the best pill on the market, and feel safe in faying they are the finest things ever used.

Ex-minister Taylor’s Prediction' Mr. Hannies Taylor, who wa our minister to Spain during Mr. Cleve land's second administration, express es the opinion that the war with Spain will end with the fall of Santiago. He thinks that hy that time Spain will see the folly of conti oiling the war, and, besides, he believes she will he so nearly exhausted that the Pow ers of Europe will interfere and com pel hrr to ask for peace o the best ierm she can get. The members of the Spanish gov ernment talk as if they could and would carry on the war for several years after Spain had lost all of her colonial possessions, but such talk from them is expected. They know it would he folly to carry on a war of that sort. Spain would be the chief sufferer from it - If Spain should show a disposition to continue the war after the loss ot Cuba and Porto Rico it is probable that tvs would send a squadron to the shores of Spain and make the situa tion so unpleasant that the Spanish government would be glad to accept whatever terms we might ofter her- The fact must not be overlooked that Spain now practically powerless on the sea. Her Asiatic squadron has been destroyed and her chief Atlantic sqnadran is bot;led up in Santiago harbor and will soon be de stroyed or he in our possession - The few warships Spain has left are not sufficiently formidable to interfere with any plans we may have for a vigoroiu prosecution of the war. The Spaniards in Cuba conldn t hold out very long w; bout assistance from Spain, even if we should do nothing more than blockade the Cu ban ports and thus prevent them froni getting supplies.* The food supplies, as well as their supply of ammunition, would give out within the n*xt few months - It looks, there fore, as if Mr Taylor’s prediction were not so very tar out of the wav. —Ne‘ws.

Any druggist can sell ii as f;M, as you can tiuv it Price 50c. Just Like The Spaniard. In is not surprising that Spain refuses to exchange the gallant Hob son and his no less brave associates: Two reasons are apparent for this refusal to exchange prisoners, One is that Hobson and Ids' men are too valuable to he allowed to go into battle against Spain again. Auother is that by holding themjin Mono fort they can keep Sampson from si’' e ing that fort. Rut it is just like the Spaniard to take the position that a flag of truce will not be respected. It proves to all the world that jSpain does not wage civilized warfare. She is a bar barous nation now as she has ever been. But by all such acts she is sowing the wind. At no distant date she will reap the whirlwind. She is rap idlv isolating herself from what few friends she possessed among [he na tions of the woild. She is paving the way for tli slaughter that must come at the hands of American troops, if Hobson and his associates arc murdered or allowed to die in prison at Santiago,—Ex. the dread of the cotton grower can be prevented.

The magnificent success of the war loan is already assuted. It is esti mated that the (-Mb 000, 000 of 3 per cent bonds to be floated will be subscribed .for ten times over and that the entire issue could be sold at a good premium. A financial con cern in New Yolk has offered to take SIOO, 000, OCO of these bonds at a premium of one per cent. Th act provides that the bonds s! all be sold at par if subscribed for in sum of SSOO or lass, and it is prob able ihrt there will be enough small bidders to take the entire issue. The policy of offering the bonds in .small denominntions and giving small sub soribers the preferonce is undoubtedly wise. It will make the loan popular in a double sente. The banks and speculators may get some of these bonds, but the great bulk of them will be scattered among the people. It is believed thnt they will be worth 103 or 104 very soou after they are issued and the individual or corporation who gets them will be fortunate. Such a demonstration of a nation’s credit and such faith of a people in the finantia! strength of their gov ernment as has been made apparent since this loan was proposed has seldom been equaled- Tvro years ago 11. J, Wrrean, a drug gist at Pleasant Brook, N. Y. ’ ought a small supply of Chambetlaiu’s Cough Remedy. He sums up the result as fol lows: “At that, time the goods were unknown in This section: today Cham berlain’s Cough Remedy is a household word.” It is the same in bund reds of communities. Wherever the good rjuriT ities of Chambei’lahi’s Cough Remedy become known the people will have nothing else. For sale by R. t- Thompson, Ilouier Ga, Our Flag. The act of congress passed July 14. 1777, fixed the design of the present flag of the United States and referred to its stars as “anew constellation \ The flag is no longer new, in fact it is older than the flags of most other great nations, because tfi’se have been changed since ou t flag was adopted. It was not until 1801 that Great Britain adopted her present flag. The Hag which Spain flies in this war was adopted eight years af er ours. The Fiench til-color dates hack only to 1794, and Portugal’s flag of Italy is even younger, having boeu designed in 1848. Germany has ose of the newest of national flags, for it was not until united Germany was an ac complished fact that the present de sign was adopted. Evm the fl; g< of Jap in and China are much younger than ours. After these long secluded countries were drawn into association with other na tions they changed their flags to their present form. Very few national flags that are now seen ou land or sea were in ex istence when Betsy Rots, of Phila delphia, made the first flag of the United States as designed by the act of 1777 and handed it to Geoige Washington.—Atlanta Journal- Justice to tlie Cubans The theory that the Spaniards are to be cleaned out of Cuba in a fort night or such a matte 1 ' has been ex ploded long ago- Witnessing the failure of the Dons to conquer the Cuban insurgents, who were piacti crlly without arms and amraunitioi > it was naturaf to suppose that our own army would find it an easy mat ter to wipe out the Spaniards; but the real situation promises as hotly contested a campafgn as any profess ional soldier might >ong for. The Spaniards are not to h* driven out in a fort night nor *n many fort nights, and the fact gives incontesti b e proof of the consumate ability with which the Cuban commanders, and rented by grim old Gomez, have carried on their campaigns during the past three years Outnumbered, and with the poorest military equip ments imaginable, the Cubans have never at any point been outgeneraled' By adoptiug, one day the tactics of Mosby. and anothei-Jday the tac tics of Eorrest, Gomez and his lieu tenants have managed to defy a force incomparably larger and better eijuipp ed than thei’-s. Whenever the Span iard have attempted an offensi'.e _ NUBIAN TEA cures Dyspepsia, ydA/ Constipation and Indigestion Reg dates the Liver. Pries, £fc canfipaign, they have been so badly outgeneraled as to be compelled to retire into fortified towns. Wherev er the Cubans have met them with anything like equal advantages, the Spaniards have invariably been de feated. Awhile ago, some of the military critics attached to the newspapers were wondering what bad become of the insurgents, and some of t' , e gif ted correspondents, writing hundreds °f miles away from the scene, declared that the Cuban forces consisted of a few negros and ragamuffins. But it is a notew’orthy fact that the Cubans have been able lo make their appear ance when and where they were most needed. Take the case of h" 1 marines who were landed on the coast and who now occupy Camp McCalla- Their position was a very desperate one. Some of the men were killed in front of their tents. But, just in the nick of time, when their situation was most desperate, a number af Cuban scouts and skirmishers made their appearance, and. in a nery few hours, the situation clean’d up. The insur gent scouts and skirmishers drove the Spanisli bushwhackers away, and, supported by the maitnes, have cleaned them out of the immediate neighborhood. . ’The ml t .ry editors no doubt cxpectcd to find the insurgents drill ling up and down on the high seas but, iustcad, they were m tiie iute. nor ot the island. It is wortii men tioning that, General Sliafter had no difficulty in finding General Garcia, one of Gomez’s lieutenants. In short, the Cubans seem to have | the fac illy of making their appear ancejust when our men want them | and at the right place.—-Ex- ALL WOMEN Should know that thd a J ">ld Time” Remedy, ,Cfl % UPfis Is the best for Pt!e Treobiw.
