Admiral Schley’s Demand.
Tlie so-called “History of the Uni
ted States Navy” which a man
named Maelay has written will
probably be of small account in the
future, but it has accomplished one
result which tliej country will ac
cept with gratitude. It has opened
the way to a settlement of the long-
mooted question as to the merits of
the services of Admirals Sampson
and Schley in the war with Spain.
The author of this alleged history
attacks Schley severely and brings
very grave charges against him. He
continues a dispute which lias been
waged ever since the naval battle off
Santingo, a dispute of which the
oountry has grown sick and which it
will Iw glad to have settled.
The announcement tlmt Admiral
Schley has determined to ask for a
court of enquiry is most welcome.
There are enough living witness to
sotUe every contested point in the
oase, and a full and fair enquiry
ahould make it as plain as day
whether there is any truth in the
charges against Schley or not;
whether he is the real iiero of the
Santiago battle, or played the dis
creditable part in it which his critics
have attributed to him.
The radical difference of opinion
as to Suhiey’s conduct in that fight is
one of the most remarkable things
in history. He is regarded oy the
great majority of civilians as the
man who deserves the chief credit for
the sweeping victory that destroyed
Cervera’s fleet, and as the victim of
a conspiracy in the navy depart
ment to rob him of the honors
which are justly hi*.
On the other hand, the officers of
the navv are almost unanimously
against him and not one of thym has
spoken in his defense against the
very'allegations which involves his
capacity as an officer and his charac
ter as a man.
If Admiral Schley has been slan
dered he should be vindicated and
his accusers thrown into disgrace.
If he failed to do his duty aud ac
tually tried to get out of the fight,
the fact should he established.
The proposed enquiry will settle
matter oue way or the other.
Admiral Schley shows confidence
in the justice of his cause hv de
manding the fullest investigatjpn,
and we hope that it may result in
his complete vindication.—Atlanta
Journal.

Self-
Treatment.
Wbighani, Ga.. July 3rd, 1901.
Mr. B. L. Hicks, Bainbridge, Git :
Dear Sir—I write merely to express to
you my gratitude for coring my rupt
ure. Eighteen months’ ago. you will
remember you fitted a truss on me and
gave me full directions for Self Hygienic
Treatment. Tbe rupture bad been giv
ing me untold trouble for a year. It inis
not troubled me a day since I took tbe
treatment. Yours gratefully,
R. A. Coiiuell, Ex-representative
Decatur County,
The above is only one of a vast num
ber of the lestimonials I have received
since I mastered this branch of the drug
business. Some of my most remarkable
cures have been right here m the city
of Bain bridge.
Will this proces cure all cases? •
I believe it will.
. Have I made any failures ?
Many.
Why ?
Because it is theunalterable determin
ation of some people never to take am-
treatment which,.-is .uot saturated with
humbug aud. snperstitipn and robbery.
My process is in accord with the phi
losophy of common, sense and natural
law. But. it, costs effort, abd -elf-deni-d
and perseverance; wheref, re mans- give
up the treatment before it has had a fair
trial.

1ST Accounts of oor poratioas,
By permission I refer to Mr. Sidney
Blassengame of .Bainbridge. When I
fitted a truss on him he wax suffering individuals Solicited,
accutely with rupture op both sides. He v ww**v*vwv*.
was made comfortable in a few .minutes
and was entirely cured in less than ten 1
days. He then laid aside bis truss and
nas not worn it since; That v>as.nearly
two year* ago.
Hut the most, remarkable cure I lmve
ever known was the cty-eof Allen Squire,
it colored blacksmith on Water street,,
this city. On account of his advanced
age (15 years. I feared his case was hope
less. But a complete cure was effected
and lie was able to lay aside his truss in
less than three months. This was over
a year ago ami he has had no symptom
of a return of the trouble.
