Admiral Cervera acted like a white

Sampson at first took honors of the
victory, but later it develops that
Sohley’s flagship, the Brooklyn, was
hit by Spanish (hells thirty-seven

the Texas twice, and the Iowa four
times. By the scars on his ship, we
know that Schley was right in it.

The Georgia Weekly l’resi Associ-|
ation meets in onunal convention at
Newnan next week. From there,!
the editors will take a pleasure trip
to Asbvillf, Washington and New
York. There art hundreds of eviU
from wbioh the weekly press are suf
fering that the state organization
ought to handle, instead of going ott
frolicking, bnt the boys earn the
outing, and ought lo hare it.
At this distance, it would appear
that the Caban insurgent is a very
much abused individual, and that the
mistakes of others have been sad
dled, with practical unanimity, upon
the universal scapegoat.
Even in the far-off Philippines, as
soon as Dewey achieved hie match
less vietory, we were told that the
insurgents bad sold ont to the Span
tarda, and combined with them
against the Americans. Yet Again-
aldo now has an army of 85,000 men
•nrronnding Manila, and the only
thing that prevents bis entering the
town is his promise to Dewey to
await tlie arrival of the American
troops. So mnch for tbe insurgent
in the Philippines.
In Cuba, where they have been
hunted, starved and murdered for
years, it was not reasonable to expect
to find them in large bodies, or per
fectly organised. Yet every expedi
tion that has landed has been greeted
by them, and received a cordial sup
port Shatter’s men say they arc
valuable allies, fearless and effective
scouts, and reokless of danger in
battle.
At one time, the failure of the
Gussie expedition was laid to the
faithlessness of tho insurgents. Yet
now an American who was with Go
mes, says that general assembled, at
great sacrifice and risk, an army of
3,000 men, and waited for three
weeks beyond a the appointed time
for the expedition that never came.
And only last week, the enterpris
ing correspondents at Washington
told us that ‘‘the authorities were
greatly disgusted with tho incompe
tence of the Cuban allies, as demon
strated by their failure to stop tbe
advance of Pando with reinforce
ments.”
And what was this “failure,” pray?
With a force of 2,000 poorly armed
insurgents, Garcia was sent to stop
the advance of an army of from 0,000
to 8,000 of the best soldiers in tho
Spanish army 1 He was asked to do
an impossibility, and then blamed for
not accomplishing it.
When the true history of this mat
ter is writton, the Cuban insurgent
may get justice, hut it is probable he
will not.
SECOND DISTRICT
AY,
1898.

We are told a good deal stoat the
poverty of Spain and the wealth of
Uncle Sam, but the press dispatches
tell us that when onr brave boys
meet tiie Spanisli soldiers in battle,
the latter are better armed and equip
ped, and their rifles carry one-fourth
farther than those of the Americans.
It might be healthy to courtmartial
a. few sons of somebody, acting as
supply agents, before more brave
men’s lives are sacrificed for pjofit
There haa certainly been enough
money spent.
A Washington correspondent says:
“There seems to be no doubt that
tho Cristobal Colon, and perhaps the
other three Spanish armored croisers,
would have escaped had it not been
for for the prompt action of Com
modore Schley. Tho Brooklyn, Ilia
flagship, alone was in position to at
tack the Spanish vessels as they left
tho harbor, and the Commodore
steamed directly .towards them and
engaged all four cruisers, intlictiug
great damage upon them.”
It is a fact worthy of note that,
although the Plant System has the
longest hauls of any read handling
troops, there has, so far, not been a
single accident on its line. This
epeak8 volumes for trusty employes
and good management.
At the Tenth Senatorial district
convention, held in Albany yesterday,
Hon. Ed. I. Wright, of Albany, was
uuauiinously nominated to represent
tlio district, composed of the counties
of Dougherty, Lee and Worth.
The convention to nomfnatea can
didate for congress from the Seoond
district was all one way in Albany
yesterday, says tho Herald. All the
co an ties in tbe district were repre.
sented except Colquitt and Clay.
Hon John E. Donaldson, of Doca-
tnr, was made chairman, and W. A.
Allen, of Worth, secretary.
The committee on platform report
ed, endorsing the state platform, and
the Chicago platform of 1890.
Judge Griggs was placed in nomi
nation by Hon. Henry M. McIntosh I
and the nomination was made unan
imous. Judge Griggs was then no-
tilied of tho nomination,and was given
a moat enthusiastic reception on ap
pearing before the convenlien, and j
made a stirring speech of acceptance, j
Continuing, the Herald says:
The district Executive committee,
for the next two years was chosen
as follows:
Miller—G W Cleveland.
Decatur—Jno. E Donalsou.
Calhoun—J N Daniel.
Early—Jno. C Clianccy. •
Berrien—J T Wilkes.
Terrell—J A Laing.
Baker—J 51 Solano.
Quitman—W A Iltll.
Colquitt .
Clay
Worth—Daniel Clements.
Mitchell—R D Bush.
Thomas—Jno. Triplett.
Randolph—W D Kiddoo.
Dougherty—U. Hobbs.
This completed the regular busi
ness of the convention, and in less
than an hour after it had liecn called
to order the convention adjourned.;
It was a Democratic love feast and ,
perhaps the moat harmonious con- 1
vention ever held in the district.
After the convention had ad
journed the executive committee met
and rc-elocted Capt. li. Ilohbs,
chairman.
