Yellow
Fever.
A FEW WORDS OF WARNING.
Persons who may be exposed to yellow
fever and others living in districts liable
to be infected by it will find that timely
and intelligent preparation is the best
means of keeping this dreadful malady
out of the family. Sanitary regulations
in tin- household are of the first impor
tance. Clean up all refuse matter,decay
ing vegetation or cesspools. Drain off
ponds, pools and sinks. Burn vegetable
offal from the kitchen. Eat nothing but
light, wholesome and easily digested
food, avoiding green or over ripe fruits
and vegetables. Lastly, be sure that, the
blood, stomach and bowels of every
member of the family is in healthy con
dition. Irregularities in the system,
such as indigestion, constipation, torpid
liver, invite disease to enter the body,
and in the case of yellow fever, renders
its progress more virulent and deadly.
This condition can be speedily removed
and pure blood, good digestion and reg
ularity in the bowels re-established by
using Prickly Ash Bitters, the great)
System Regulator. The frequent use of
this remedy in doses suited to the age of
each person will maintain perfect health
in the family. Get a bottle at once
while the fever is yet afar off, nse it
faithfully and regularly. Prompt ac
tion NOW in putting yourself and fam
ily in condition to resist the disease
germs may spare you suffering and sor
row. Prickly Asli Bitters can be ob
tained from H. R. Palmer & Sous, spe
cial agents.

FINEST IN THE WORLD.
A French Olficer Says There are no Such
Fighters as Ours.
Washington, July 13. — Maj. De
Grandprey, military attache of the
French embassy, has just returned from
the American headquarters near Santi
ago, where he has been observing for
his government the progress of military
operations. He paid a glowing tribute
to the fighting ability of our soldiers.
•‘I have the most complete admiration
for your men,” said Maj. De Grandprey
to an Associated Press reporter today.
“They are a snperb body individually
and as an army, aud I suppose not
throughout the world is there such a
splendid lot of fighting men. It is the
fighting characteristic of the men which
is most apparent. They are aggressive,
eager for action, never needing the voice
of an officer to push them forward.
“Another marked characteristic is the
self-reliance of each man ; what we call
the character of initiative. It is almost
unknown in European armies, where
every movement and the move to meet
eacii action of the enemy awaits the
initiative of an officer. But with your
men they fight to the front, meeting
each emergency as it arises, overcoming
obstacles by their own initiative.
“Such self-reliant fighting men make
an exceptionally impetuous army, for
every unit contributes in the irresistible
onward movement. The Spanish troops
do not have this same characteristic.
They are more passive, more cautious.
“Beside the impetuosity of such fight
ing material it has the effect of inspir
ing a morale among the troops, making
them feel that success is assured, and at
the same time carrying disorder aud de
pression into the ranks of the enemy.”
Maj. De Gfandprey says the fighting
about Santiago is something entirely dif
ferent from the warfare of European
aud other armies of modern times. The
dense vegetation aud tangle of tropical
growth makes it impossible to observe
the usual military formations. As a re
sult there is little or no effort to fight in
solid formation. Every man is fighting
fer himself, pushing forward through
the shrubbery, vines and tall grass. It
is impossible to see the enemy.
Maj. De Grandprey also speaks high
ly of the efficiency with which the
American troops and supplies were
started on their expedition and debarked
in Cuba. This has come in for consid
erable criticism in this country, but
Maj. De Gran'dprey says that consider
ing the brief time allowed for equipping
the expedition remarkable results were
secured. European military expeditions,
such as those of England or France to
Africa or other points, he says, are
planned six months ahead, which al
lows ample time for working out the

Can Then be Accommodated—The New State
Normal School Building Will Cost About
Six Thousand Dollars and Will Be
for Recitation Purposes.
The new building at the State Nor
mal School is now under construction.
The contract was awarded to Messrs.
Watson and Thurmond and it will cost
about six thousand dollars.
The building is to be located near the
Jefferson road, some distance beyond
the present dormitory building and in
front of the residence of Mr. Fowler.
It will be two stories high and its di
mensions will be ninety-seven by sixty
feet. It will be used for recitation
rooms, and all the recitation rooms in
the old Rock College building will be
vacated and cut up into bed rooms.
Iu this way room will be provided for
forty additional lady teachers who may
\
desire to attend the school from differ
ent portions of the state.
This will not by any means be suffi
cient dormitory room for the demand
being made by the teachers of Georgia
for admission to the school.
The building will be completed by the
middle of September, just at the time
when the demand for admission to the
school is the greatest.

several days at Baxley, Ga., attending a
Teachers’ Institute has returned home.

Captain General Blanco Cables the
JTadrid Authorities That it Would
Be Dishonor to End the Struggle
At This Time.
Madrid, July 13.—The government continues its assurance to the effect
that the ministers are not taking part in any peace negotiations which
may be proceeding.
The Oorrespoudencia (independent aud semi-official) says :
“There is an enormous difference between the concessions which Spain
is willing to make and the demands of the Americans.
“Peace is impossible until a Spanish victory has lowered the pride of
the Americans or another disaster forces Spain to make the most ample
concessions.”
Captain General Blanco has replied to the Spanish government’s
reiterated representations in regard to peace by energetically protesting
against such an idea. The captain general says the report that Spain has
resolved to negotiate with the United States government has had a de
plorable effect, especially among the troops. He adds that a deputation
of officers chosen by the army has begged him to convey to the govern
ment their protests against any proposition for peace, claiming that noth
ing can justify a cessation of hostilities at present.
Continuing, General Blanco says: “The army has only just come into
action and thus far canuot be said to have suffered a reverse, although
opposed numerically to a far stronger force. That capitulation declares
that so long as it is not conclusively proven that the troops are incapable
of successfully defending Cuba, Spain cannot treat for peace without dis
honoring bur army in the eyes of the world. The Cuban volunteers are
even more violent opponents of peace. They declare they will not recog
nize any agreement concluded under the present conditions, and that even
if deserted by Spain they will continue the war themselves.”

SPANISH IGNORANCE.
Situation Much Worse Than the Statistics oi
Illiterates Show.
A writer iu a prominent English re
view takes for a text the ignorance pre
vailing in Spain. The statistics of
illiterates, bad as they are, fail to tell
the whole story. While 19,000,000 of
the 18,000,000 inhabitants of Spain can
not read or write, the educated ninth,
in the opinion of this author, are not,
in the general sense, well informed.
The advantage of the lettered, it is
strikingly said, “consists less in the
greater number of ideas possed by the
educated than iu the elegance with
which they express the pathetic delusions
common to all.” *V college course in
Spain means an almost exclusive de
votion to Spanish literature and affairs.
No gift among the cultivated is as high
ly prized as oratory, and the style most
prized is that which fires the Spanish
sense of national and personal superiori
ty. Every Spaniard is taught that his
country is the foremost on earth, and its
inhabitants the first in blood, in cour
age,iu chivalry and in historical renown.
Little is known of the outside world
geographically or otherwise. Its lack
of resemblance to Spain is regarded as a
hopeless misfortune. Whatever is
wrong in the life of the people is ac
cented and even glorified because it is
Spanish.
Ignorance may be called the national
cult of Spain, and, as Tmother and more
prominent English writer lias said, the
country is proud of what ought to bring
it shame. The people of the United
States find it hard to understand Spanish
methods of thought. Deception
habitually practiced by their public men,
and is seemingly expected and required
by tbe masses. In some cities the bat
tle of Manila was celebrated as a Span
ish victory. It was the most terrible
defeat of recent years, but the fact does
not square with the pride of Spaniards
and so is ignored. Iu the Philippines
the rulers have been driven from one
fiction to another. The Captain general
will turn over Manila to a subordinate
to be surrendered, in order to claim that
the sovereignty has not gone into other
hands. Any subterfuge passes with tlie
common people of Spain. They are
plundered and befooled through life by
their officials, but haughtily draw their
cloaks closer and assume that the gran
deur of Spain is so great that it can be
impaired by no defect, nor lessened in
the least by comparison with the pro
gressive nations of the world.
The ease with which the Spaniard is
deceived by those in authority subjects
him to all manner of hard treatment,
but he enjoys it and hugs his chains. He
is required to fight under cruel disad
vantages. If taken prisoner he is left
to languish because his govermeut
malignantly refuses to exchange. It can
spite Americans, by holding prisoners,
and so leaves its own soldiers and sailors
in confinement without the slighest con
cern for their welfare. Spanish soldiers
in Cuba are expected to continue the
war indefinitely without government
supplies or a cent of pay. Sometimes
the thought occurs that Spanish igno
rance will eventually be aroused and
tion of lacking the first elements of
m knowledge. But tne trouble
Spain may be a. sort of paresis, the
r of which imagines that he is
to Its Doom.
