The Republicans may be surprised
at the result of the November elec
tions. They will not get as much
advantage out of the war as they
imagine, and harmony does not exist
in their ranks. Many men do not
relish the bond issues and internal
revenue taxes. Prices of commodi
ties do not rise, but fall. Business
is not booming. No less a Republi
can paper than the Philadelphia
Ledger shows anything but admira
tion for the president. Here is a
sample of its hospitality:
“Earnestly as we all hope that tht
war will be short, sharp and decisive,
it has already lasted long enough to
show that political influence at
Washington has worked great harm.
Old soldiers, both graduates of West
Point and those who have slowly
but steadily risen from the ranks,
heve been overslaughed. Civilians
have received appointments, under
the pressure of political influence,
that ought to have been the reward
of long years spent in the service ol
the country. Men turned down at
West Point for want of capacity to
finish the course of instruction there
have been appointed to positions
that put them ahead of their former
classmates, who worked hard and
did well there, and in the army after
graduation. The instances of old
men taken from civil life and put in
high command are so numerous as
to excite the indignation of the pub
lic at home and the army in the field.
The Ledger suggests, as General
Grosvenor pointed out, that the pres
ident yields to the stronger minds
about him. It says further:
“With the adjournment of con
gress the president will be to some
extent freed from the pressure to
which he has yielded, but that he
did yield to it is iu the highest de
gree discreditable to the administra
tion, injurious to the army andoffen
sive to the country. That he got a
few more votes for the annexation of
Hawaii was openly stated on the
floor of congress, but it hardly evoked
a whisper here. as we all are
to the country, and proud of the
army and navy and the brave men
who have won imperishable glory, it
is for the press to give voice to the
strong feeling among the people that
this business of political influence has
gone too far, has been productive of
too much injury and must be stopped
Ihe men who received appoint
ments, good or bad, are few; the men
who did not get them are numerous.
The disappointed thousands may be
“agin the administration.” Old Ben
But’er said that when he had one
oilice to give and twelve applicants,
ho made eleven enemies and one in
geate. Senator Stewart, who favor-
ed the war bat not the methods of
carrying it on, declares that the rev
enue bill is a declaration against the
industries of the United States. He
says:
••We protested against creating a
gr ater demand for money to pay
taxes and at the same time diminish
the supply. It was said on the other
hand that the expenditures of war
would make more money. We in
quired how there could be more
money put into circulation than ex
isted in the country, to which no one
gave a satisfactory answer. We pro
tested against the issuance of bonds
without more money, because we
contended that the bond issue would
be such a competitor to the business
of the country that business would
languish, the people would suffer
and the revenues would be light. It
has turned out just as we predicted.”
He thinks that a large part of the
expenditures have been paid to very
rich men who owned yachts and
things of that kind which they sold
to the government as a patriotic
duty to get rid of worn out and use
less appendages of luxury at an enor
mous price. This is not the worst of
it. More bonds are beiog offered
and prices of property are falling.
There is no inducement to invest in
property under these circumstancee,
and the money of the country will
bo hoarded with a view of invest
ment in future issues of bonds.
And he adds that there was a
vastly different condition, during the
civil war —a greenback era —when
plenty of money raised prices, made
business lively, and payment of taxes
easy. Referring to the temporary
obscuration of the money question,
he says:
“The suggestion that more bonds
and more taxes have buried the
money question is absurd. The peo
ple are studying the money question
to-day, notwithstanding the excite
ment of the war, and they will be
reminded more and more every day
of the cruelty of the declaration of
war in the war revenue bill against
the American people at a time when
the resources of the country were to
be put forth in prosecution of a war
for the benefit of humanity and to
extend the erea of freedom. We
warn the money oligarchy that it
will be impossib,e to silence the
clamors of an oppressed people by
the roar of cannon or to blind the
masses by the smoke of powder.
They will inquire why they are
called upon to pay taxes when there
is no money in the country with
which to do business, and whatever
may be done in the prosecution of
this war a day of reckoning will come
and that speedily, because the
American people will not submit to
a perpetual increase of the bonded
debt and a perpetual fall in the price
of their property while money and
bonds, the property of the rich, are
constantly enhanced in value by un
just legislation.”
We do not know that the Demo
crats will carry the next house of
representatives, but it would not
surprise us if that should prove to
be a fact. But, likely, it is to the
interest of the Democrats that the
Republican party should continue in
full possession of the government,
a id have the entire responsibility or
credit for the condition of things
when the presidential fight comes on
in 1900. In that year the Republi
can party will have to render its ac
count to the people, and upon the
showing then to be made will follow
its continuance in power or its re
moval by a tidal wave of opposition.

WAR NEW* IN BRIEF.
Everything is very quiet at San
tiago. The surrendered Spaniards
have not been transferred back to
Spain yet.
General Miles, with his troops,
landed at Porto Rico last Monday.
He sent the following cablegram to
the war department:
St. Thomas, July 26, 9:35 p. m. Secretary of
W ar, W ashington, 1) O —Circumstances were
such that I deemed It advisable to take the
harbor of Guanh a first, flft e-n miles west of
Ponce, which was successfully accomplished
h tween daylight and ll o’clock. Suanlards
suriulsed. The Glou ester. Commander Walu
wrlchf, flrst entered the harbor: met wirh
sdght resistance; fired a few shots. All the
transports are now in the harbor and lnrantry
and artillery rapidly going asoore. This Is a
well protected harbor, vt at- r sufficiently deep
for all transports and heavy vessels to anchor
within 3JO yard-i of shore The Spanl-h flag
was lowered and the American flag raised to

good health and best of spirits. No casualties.
MIoHS, Maj Gen. Com. Army.
From what the papers say, though,
this war will not have to he prose
cuted much more.
Washington. July 26,-(ipeclsl.)—Spain has
enough of this war, and what Is more Important,
she nows It.. To-day the Spanish government
acting through the medium of the Fr. nch am
bassador, announced this fact to the president,
nd with that announcement peace negotia
tions were formally begun. all that has been
officially stated concerning the peace overtures
m <*e through M. Gambon this afternoon Is In
cluded In t’ Is brief bullet In, which was given
out at thi white house a few minutes baiore 5
o’c ock. it reads:
“ The French ambassador on behalf of the
government ol Spain and by direction of the
Sp .nlsh minister for foreign afTalrs i resented
to the president this aiternoon at the white
house a message from the Spanish government
looking to the termination of the war and the
settlement of terms of peace ’
So, from the above, it seems that
the white-winged dove of peace will
soon be hovering over our shores'.
When Spain asks for peace, Gen
eral Morgan says this government
will demand the entire and complete
surrender and control of Cuba, Porto
Rico, Phillippine islands, and the
Ladrone islands.
DRY FOND.
Rev. J. R. Speck filled his regular
appointment at this place Sunday,
and he will continue the meeting the
remainder of this week.

on Sunday.
Miss Nena Bailey of Jefferson.and
Miss Minnie Head of Gray Hill, at
tended preaching here last Sunday
night
We had the pleasure of attending
the Jackson County Musical Conven
tion, which convened at Academy
church on Friday, the 22d inst. The
president being absent, the conven
tion was called to order by Vice-
President T. A. Henry. After pray
er by R. S. Blackwell, Messrs. T. A.
Henry and B. H. Roberts led the
convention fifteen minutes each—
adjourned one hour for dinner—re
assembled at 1:30 p. m. and went
into an organization, which resulted
as follows: R. S. Blackwell, presi
dent; M. G. Wilhite, vice-president;
T. A. Henry, secretary; C. E. Jack
son, assistant secretary; and J. Y.
Pharr, chaplin. Owing to the in
clement weather, there was not any
convention on Saturday. We did
not get to attend on Sunday, but we
have been informed that there will
be an adjourned session at Oconee on
Saturday before the third Sunday in
September.
ACADEMY.
The Jackson County Singing Con
vention met here Friday last. On
account of rain Saturday nothing
was done, and as the old phrase goes,
it gave the convention a black eye.
But on Sunday the army of singers
that had assembled rallied and did
some good work during the day. We
cannot say the convention this year
was a failure totally, but it was not
what the members had hoped for,
and for that reason it was decided
that it was best to have another
meeting of two days, which will be
held at Oconee church on the third
Sunday and Saturday before in Sep
tember next.

ing a fine time. Old John Snooks
bad lots to tell, about what he saw,
what he had to eat, how mnch he
ate, how r many cups of coffee he
drank, how many people were there,
and how nice all were treated. He
told of a bottle of fine perfume. Aunt
Jinsey walked up to him and smelled
of his coat, and she turned up her
nose and said: “Smoo, umph; it
smells like a mixture of cigar smoke,
onions, coffee, corn juice, cologne,
and a little swamp water, and sweat.”
Old John said, “Now, Jinrey, I did
not drink a drop of anything strong
while I was gone except one glass of
beer. Wess Merk and I tried to
drink some beer, and we drank about
one-fourth of a glass each. It was
my first and last glass. It tasted
like a mixture of salt, pepper, vine
ga. persimmons, sour wood, slop,and
billy goat smell. I will take no more
in mine.”

Lebanon literary school is in a
good condition. Our school was
founded to give our youths a literary
and Cbrntain education. They are
also being taught by our teacher,
Miss Katie Moseman, to be honest,
faithful and true, reverencing God,
loyal to humanity, training them in
the way they should go, and the
wheeling planets will not be truer to
their paths around the sun than will

shall receive the applaudit, “Well

FEN DERG HASS.
I take advantage of this occasion
to tender thanks to the many people,
far and near, for the kind attention
and services rendered me during my
dangerous illness, especially the
eleven boys who stood around me
day and night like men, namely:
Ed Hill, Sam and Bascomb Roberts,
Fred Adams, Alvin Perry, Laney
Patrick, Rob Black stock, Joe Sims,
Tom White and Charlie Waddell.
Also, my heart goes out to both old
and young who so kindly aided us in
plowing and hoeing our crop.
Twenty hours out of twenty-four I
am on the bed, the remainder of the
time lamina rocking chair. It
takes one week to see any improve

A great lumbering was heard over
at the river last week, which was the
throwing of some big sills on the
bridge for the purpose of repair, and
it raised some excitement as to what
such a fuss could be. After some
consideration, our better half said it
was just Croff Burgess knocking a fly
off of his nose over in Franklin coun

THE REUNION.
Did you go down to Atlanta last
week tp the reunion? Some of ns
went—Others staid at home. A big
lot of funny things happened, and
some that were not so funny, V*ut for
us to get them up and tell you all (?)
of theni^— it would be next to impos
sible. .first, we would not be able
to get all the little funny things
connected with the trip; and next,
if we had them all we could not af
ford to tell them, as it might (would)
cause some trouble and embarrass
ment.
Here is one or two little pointers:
One of our boys, when he got out of
the car shed (in Atlanta, not Jeffer
son), he walked up to a “cop” and
asked him if that was the street car
that went to his “Uncle Joe’s.”
One of the boys, on being asked if
he wanted to go to the Columbia
(theatre) that night, replied : “What
do I want to go for? I can see a
Columbia (bicycle) at home any day.
I want to see something new while I
am here.
We may give you a little more on
the reunion later, as we havn’t been
able to get up very much on it by
this time. We will see what we can
find out, and if we can afford it, we
will let you have it.
HOW HE DID IT.
The wife of one of our leading
business men went down to Atlanta
last week, leaving her husband and
little nephew about six years of age,
alone. One day the husband thought
the little nephew needed on a pair
of clean pants, so he carried him up
to the room, dressed the little fel
low, and they came down. When
they came down, the laugh was on
the aforesaid gentleman, for in put
ting the pants on the little fellow, he
he put the wrong side in front, so
you couldn’t tell whether the little
boy was going to school or comirg
from school. To this gentleman, we
would say, notice more closely, or
have some instructions given you on
the subject of dressing little boys.

A POEM.
In the issue of May 27th, was
published a prophesy of the “Entre
Nous” Club. Now we find them
writing poetry Below we give you
an “awfully sweet” little poem,
which was read before the club at
their last meeting. The poem was
written by one of tho members of
the club:
AN “ENTRE NOUS” POEM.
A poem now I will Indite,
Unto our club so gray:
A brighter crowd you could not And,
They grow sweeter every day.
First, Callle, dear, comes on our list,
A lovely girl Is she;
Her dark and radiant beauty shines,
A vltlon lair to see.
A blonde comes next with face so fair,
She wing the young mens heart*,
And makes them feel thro’ cupld’s touch,
Bright happy Berta’s darts.
And now comes Sue. whose soft brown eyes
With love and kindness beam;
She makes her j resence with us all
A Joy celestial seem.
Two sisters, who with tender words,
All hearts to theirs w 111 dr- w;
Mary and Ora are coarming girls,
The sweetest j ou ever saw.
Then there’s Luclle with noble alms,
Who sings like a thrush In the morn;
And her voice and beautiful spirit
'I he gates of heaven would adorn.
And winsome Mattie next appears,
With dreams of fame and glory:
The many ht arts she’s broken, yet
she never tells a “Story.”
Then Selma, sweet, with soft dark hair,
And sparkling, speakingetes;
Who wins this charming maiden’s hand,
Will surely win a prize.
And Nena, too, dear loving girl,
What tender beauty glows;
Upon her gentle, open face,
A living, breathing rose.
And last upon the list, a maid
With charming look and way;
A lovller girl j ou could not find
Than sweet-faced sunny May.
Long live our club, to bless our town
Wltn pleasure and good will,
And never may the boys have cause
To call us “Hook-Bills.”

POLITICAL STRAWS.
Some men are born great, and
some have to be elected.
A politician will shake your hand
one minute and pull your leg the
next.
Many statesmen look upon a morn
ing cocktail as a constitutional
amendment.
Some men vote as they pray—and
they never pray unless it is to ask a
personal favor.
Many a candidate thinks himself
a Clay, only to discover after the
election that his name is Mud.
The man who couldn’t fill the of
fice better than the man appointed,
has yet to be born in this great and
glorious republic.
Mr. R. Wink Taylor, well-known
in this part of the state, was killed
at his hotel in Ashville, N. C., last
week by one of the guests. Taylor
and one of his ,clerks got into an
altercation—this guest took up for
the clerk, a difficulty ensued, and
Taylor was killed.
Mr. John L. Asbury, formerly of
this county, and brother of the
Messrs. Asbury of our town, was
killed in the fight at Santiago last
week. Mr. Asbury was with the
Rough Riders of the first Texas cal
vary. He leaves a w r ife and six chil
dren. Our sympathies are extended
to the bereaved family.—Clarksville
