The funny artist of the Atlanta
Constitution got a snap shot at
Mack Johnson, and had him rak
ing cabbages in Monday’s edition.
If he will catch Kirby Anderson
riding a bare-back mule to the jus
tice court ground he will have our
representatives down pretty fine.
Messrs. McL. Johnson and K. S.
Anderson, Bartow’s representa
tives in the lower branch of the
legislature, left Monday morning
for Atlanta to get in the push with
the boys before the opening. Both
of our representatives aie able
young men, and we expect to hear
from them early in the session.
Li Hung Chang, if reports are
true, has made himself solid in
China by secretly marrying the
Dowager Empress. If this is true,
it accounts for the banishment of
the emperor. Mr. Chang is a very
smooth citizen and seems to know
how to play at the game of hearts
as well as that of politics.
The New York World has re
duced to figures the worth of Mrs.
Howard Gould, whose husband
lost five million dollars by wedding
her. Here are the figures: Mrs.
Gould’s weight is about 140 pounds
avoirdupois, which equals 170,139
pounds Troy. A Troy pound of
gold is worth $248,064. Mrs.
Gould's weight in gold is $42,205.-
36. She is therefore worth 118
times her weight in gold, on a basis
of $5,000,000.

The republicans are getting
frightened in New York. Chaun
cey Depew tried to stir up the boys
the other night in his speech by
declaring: “If we lcs; the elec
tion this fall, it means the 1 jss not
only of the state, but of congress
and of a United States senator
from New York.” He might have
gone further and declared also the
loss of the president in 1900.
The Georgia legislature met yes
terday. If it will do Us duty, it
will relieve the people of some of
the burdensome taxation which
has been heaped upon them by
former legislatures. It is a very
easy matter to make appropriations,
but it is burdensome upon the peo
ple to pay them. The legislature
should address itself to reform all
along the line.
The Third Georgia Regiment
wants to do something, they hard
ly know what. It wanted to be
mustered out and then it wanted
to be mustered in. The boys have
seen enough of Griffin, and want
to go some where else. It is now
said that they want to go to Cuba
with Fitzlnigh Lee, There are
several Cartersville boys in the
Third, and we hope that they will
get whatever they want.
General Lee’s Seventh army
corps will leave Savannah for the
island of Cuba Nobember third,
the troops will go to Manzanilla.
I Following the movement of the
I Seventh army corps, other troops
will be sent to Cuba as rapidly as
possible, and by the first of De
cember, the date fixed for the final
evacuation of the island by the
Spaniards, the force of troops in
Cuba will be quite a large one.
The Courant American acknow
ledges the receipt of a copy of the
address delivered before tue Geor
gia Bar Association by Judge John
\Y. Akin, the retiring president,
at its last meeting. It is an able
paper and created a go id deal of
comment at the timeof its deliver}-,
as it deals with the aggressiveness
and usurpation of power by the
federal courts of the United States.
In the last house of representa
tives there was a majority of forty
four members opposed to the dem
ocratic party. In the house which
assembled yesterday there are only
twelve independents, populists
and republicans. The democrats
came very near cleaning up the
ranch in the last election.

THE FASHODA AFFAIR.
A clear idea of the seat of the
Fashoda contention between Fin
gland and F'rance, now likely to
result in war. is thus briefly given
in the Chicago Record:
“Shortly after Gen. Kitchener
won his victory over the dervishes
at Omdurman it was learned that
Capt. Marcliand, the French ex
plorer, was in Fashoda, to the
south of Khartoum, which region
he had entered from the French
Congo, lying to the west. Kitch
ener at once went to Fashoda and
asked Capt. Marchatid to with
draw, a request which the FTench
officer refused to comply with ex
cept on orders from Paris. He
has as yet received 110 orders to
that effect. F'ashoda before the
revolt was a part of Egypt, and
the British, now that they have de
feated the dervishes, say that the
territory, to which Egypt never
relinquished claim, has been re
stored to Egypt.
“The French contention is tha*,
as the British were driven out of
t le Soudan by force of arms sev
eral years ago, that territory be
came subject to occupation by the
first nation to appear there. For
that reason the French government
has refused to recall Marchand.
“There can be 110 doubt that the
British will continue to insist on
the recall of the French explorer.
The longer France refuses to make
the recall the more ’ u ailiating
; will become final compliance with
that demand.”
The latest from Washington is
that the republicans are relying on
“the common sense of the situa
tion" to win the congressional fight
throughout the country. If, says
the Springfield (Mass ) Republican
that is the case, then young Bailey
might as well begin his canvass
for the speakership of the next
house at once.

LEFT IN BAD HUMOR-
Gen Ortega Said He Never Would
Have Surrendered Porto Rico.
San Juan, Porto Rico, Oct. 24.
The members of the peninsularcab
inet took the oath of allegiance to
the United States yesterday with
befitting solemnity. Tiny will issue
a manifesto announcing their resol
ution to avoid partisan politics and
end party drife.
About $12,000 has been collected
as customs duties since Oct. 12, the
day the United States formally took
possession of Potto Rico.
Gen, Ortega embarked yesterday
on board the Spanish steamer Mon
tevideo and was saluted from the
shore. He made a speech declar
ing that the island had been sur
rendered by order of Madrid, adding
that he would never had done so
without such an order. The gener
al sailed today and was saluted by
the United States cruiser Newark.
Rear Admiral Schley and his staff
aie on board the Newark awaiting
the arrival of Commander Snow,
who is to take command the United
States naval station at San Juan,
before departing.
The efficient work of the United
States commission has won popu
larity for its members among the
people of San Juan and there have
been a number of graceful farewells
exchanged.
A movement has been started to
semi a Porto Rican commission to
VV twhington in order to represent to
the a rihorities there the needs of
this island.
Why seek cheapness, when you
can get the best and largest assort
ment of underwear in Cartersville
at Yaughans.’
The Spaniards evidently desire
to do America as much harm as
possible, even after the war is over.
They are trying all sorts of schemes
to induce the Spanish soldiers in
Cuba to remain on the island,
knowing that they would do their
best to keep things in a stew all
the while. The most enticing offer
yet made by Blanco is the promise
of full pay and an honorable dis
charge from the army tc>ilUSpan
ish soldiers in Cuba whdKvill con
sent to remain on therisland. It
is not likely that be
carried out very successfully, as
the United States government will
hardly permit it.

“My friends,” said a beautiful hostess,

I’ve a treat that is simply bew'tching,
As I hope you will shortly agree."
Then she poured Parke’s Unmatchable Coffee,
And they drank it with speechless delight;
And every one said
That she had a great head,
And her judgment was certainly right.
For she bought her Coffee and o':her Fine
