Capt. J. J. Calhoun, commander

Gen. Evans to represent the camp,
went down to Atlanta last week to

The committee met to consult on

A form of constitution and by

widows and orphans of deceased
comrades, marking graves of and

The constitution provides for or

a part will embrace 28 counties and
include Fulton. The officers of
each brigade shall be a brigadier
general elected by delegates from
the camps in the brigade in brigade
convention assembled, and staff of
brigadier appointed by such gen

The by-laws provide for com
mittees on history, pensions, me
morial day, finance, etc., to be ap
pointed by the brigade command
ers.
Capt. Calhoun states that repre
sentatives from Savannah were
present at the committee meeting
and gave every assurance that
everything that could be done for
the entertainment and enjoyment

TALKS OF 01.
Says the Island is Not Ready for
Indenpedence-
THEY ARE LEARNING FAST-
Cubans Improve Under American
Protectorate—They are Build
ins Up the Waste Places.
Washington, Oct. 29.—Gen. Fitz
hugh Lee, who is in the Unit’d
States on a vacation from his post
in Cuba, sin the city on his way
South. He is accompanied by his
sou. Tommorrow night pen. Lee
ex pects to go to Richmond to wit
ness the launching of the Sliubrick,
but will return to Washington
Wednesday. In an interview he says
the people of Cuba are steadily im
proving under the existing protec
torate of the United States and are
slowly but surely rebuilding their
wasted homes and repairing their
crippled fortunes. Life and property
are secure, in Cuba, owing largely,
he said, to the salutary restraints
exercised by Amerian military
authority. He thinks the time not
ripe yet, however, for a purely
Cuban government.
"Cuba,’’said Gen. Lee,“is improv
ing. The Cubans are tractable and
quiet and the revolution has given
them self-respect and self-reliance.
Their impulses are generaly in the
right direction, but of course both
m the theory and practice of stl -
government they are wholly witn
out experience. There is among
certain Cubans a deep-seated pre
judice against some men, who, the
Cubans think, oppressed Cu'; ans
under Spanish rule, and if given a
free rein the Cubans would n ake
short work of them. The Urited
States government Is pledged to
grant independence to Cuba after
the island has been pacified, and I.
believe that promise should be ful
filled just as swiftly as we can in
reason and justice.
“The industrial situation is im
proving and money is gradually g< -
ing into Cuba, but nothing like as
fast as it would if investors were
sure that property would remain
safe for years to come and be pro
tected by a government strong
enough to enforce law and order.”
Gen. Lee declined to discuss '
political affairs in Cuba, and
whether or not the Quban- desired
independence or annexation.

MERCER NOTES-
About- Soma of Her Contests In
Which She Was Victorious.
Old Mercer still booms! She
had an opemng this year that was
the most auspicious of any during
her history. About 250 bright
young men compose her student
body—young men who stein,|p
have a consecrated determination
tojnght successfully the great bat
tles of life, corne what may, Mer
cer's faculty seems to gttiwstronger
and better every day. 1 am tlVrf
ouglily qouscnntious in saying
that no students of any other male'
college in the south find more as
sistance in their respective facul
ties whilfe pursuing their college
courses than do the young men of
Mercer.
.Search creation round and I
don’t believe you will find a col
lege anywhere that has a better
president l than Mercer. He is a
man especially noted for three great
things, viz,, his big body (for lie
weighs about 250), his big broad
mind, his big soul. It is he who
stands at 'the very bottom of Mer
cer’s success. How often have I
admired him as I have looked at
him cireulatingamong the students
creating a bond of love 'and fra
ternal feeling among them. I will
cite you to some of the contests in
which Mercer has taken a part
during the past few years. Dur
ing tlie years 1897 and 1898 she
entered two contests in which all
the principal male colleges of the
state, took part. Mercer war vic
torious both times. Last year
Mercer was represented in an
oratorical contest in which all the
principal colleges of Georgia,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana
took part. Again Mercer was vic
torious. During the past two or
! three years Mercer has met the
| State University in debate and
Mercer was so victorious every
, time that good authority tells 11s
' that Athens was not in it at all.
' During the past summer Mercer
! debated with some volunteers—*
I men who were supposed to be aS
' good and :haters as Georgia posses
! sed, Ga., and vic
[ to: y again perched upon our ban
-1 ner. Mercer will again participate
in a state inter-collegiate orator
ical contest on the 15th of Novem
ber. and again it is our sincere be
lief that we shall be triumphant.
The man who will represent us lias
one of the very best speeches that
has e'er yet gone out from Mercer
and chat is saying a great deal.
By the way I might say that this
young gentleman lives about 25
miles north of Cartersville, at So
noraville. in Gordon county. His
name is Mark Bolding. Not only
should Mercer feel proud of such
a distinguished young man but all
Georgia his native state, for he is
indeed one of the using stars of
America.
I am sorry to state that Bartow
furnishes but two students for
Mercer this year.
Let me say a word or two with
reference to one of Mercer’s brainy
professors which Bartow has fur
nished. I refer to Prof. W. K.
If a man is going to
fight he wants to be
well. He wants to be
strong, steady - nerved, vigorous able to
take and give punishment. One of Roose
velt’s Rough Riders actually starved todeath
because his digestive system wasn’t strong
enough to extract the nutriment from food
that kept his comrades strong and well and
in tip-top lighting trim.
The soldier isn’t the only one who fights
and needs strength. Business men, clerks,
Is your blood ail right ?
Do you feel right ?
Are you losing flesh ?
Feel “ run down ? ”
Do you sleep well ?
Have trouble with your stomach ?
Tired all the time ?
If so what you need is Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. It makes men strong.
It keys the digestive system right up to
concert pitch. It tones the stomach, stim
ulates the liver, strengthens the nerves,
enriches the blood—makes anew man of
you. Puts snap and vim and endurance
into yoti.
A. D. Weller, Ksq., of Pensacola, Escambia
Cos.. Fla. (Box 544), writes : “I have taken eight
bottles of the 'Golden Medical Discovery,’ and
must say that I am transformed from it walking
shadow (as my friends called me), to perfect
health. Four months ago I did not think to be
in shape to assist our ‘ Uncle Samuel ’ in case of
hostilities, but thanks to you, I am >ow ready
for the ' Dons.’ ’’

Godfrey. As I happen to be un
der the tutorship of Prof. Godfrey
this year, being a senior in which
class he teaches principally, I can
truthfully say that he ranks among
our very best professors. He thor
oughly understands his business,
and is possessed of all the capabili
ties that characterize a successful
teacher. He not only ranks high
as a professor, but also as a truly
polished gentleman. His popular
ity among the Mercer students is
by no means insignificant. Mr.
Neel, one of Bartow’s representa
tives at Mercer, is taking a good
stand in his class and the prospect
is lie will come out on top in the
end. Jos. D. Harling,
