GRIFFIN s prosperous mills.
They Not Only Build, but Sell Theii
Goods
The Kincaid Manufacturing Cum
puny lias just completed their magnifi
cent annex, which makes it the largest
towel factory’ in the country, but one
of the completes! mills, the machinery
being the largest ever brought eout-h,
and in the language of Superintendent
A G Martin, ns complete as can be
made.
The Griffin Mills has just begun
work on a new SIOO,OOO annex that
will ba completed by September, and
it will nearly double the capieity of
that mill.
In the meantime, while working to
their full capacity, the mills are kept
busy with orders, and at no time can
you find them with any amount of
surplus stock on hand.
Today a representative of the Even
jxg Call was in the office of President
yy, J- Kincaid when an order came to
be shipped at once to Honolulu, Sand
wich Islands. President Kincaid said
that the order was nothing unusual,
as the mills at Griffin shipped to Chi
na, Japan and other foreign countries
direct, and that their export trade was
increasing every year at such a ratio
that building was a necessity.
Mr Arthur Greey, of the firm of
Whitman & Phelps, the Eastern repre
sentatives of these mills, is now in the
city, the guest of President W. J. Kin
caid. He is a gentleman of vast expe
rience in this work, and be is evident
ly pleased with the output of these
mills.
Griffin is proud of her factories, for
they are both a source of wealth and
distinction to the city.

Story of a Slave.
To be bound band and foot for years
by the chain of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D Williams,
of Manchester, Mich., tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: “My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec
tric Bitters, she is wonderfully im
proved and able to do her own work.”
This supreme remedy for female dis
eases quickly cures nervousness, and
sleeplessness, melancholy, headache,
backache, fainting and dizzy spells
This miracle working medicine is a
godsend to weak, sickly, run down
people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only
uO cents. Sold by Harris & Son and
Carlisle A Ward Druggist.

A Happy Revival.
At the Baptist church a most
liappy revival is being conducted
and both morning and evening ser
vices are being largely attended. The
sermons are in strict accordance with
lhe gospel, and Rev. T. W. O'Kelly is
t 0 be congratulated upon securing the
brainy and logical Mr. H. W. Wil
nams to assist him. The addition of
Jlr Walfsohn to the choir is also an
attractive feature to the music.

EFFECTS OF WAR
r Are Brutalizing, as Seen and Told by
Eye Witnesses.
Leslie’s Weekly for the current week
■ i has made a specialty of Philippine war
t j pictures, from “photographs made on
e the spot.” Mutilation and bloody
>' ’death stalk through the illustrated
, 'pages. Trenches filled with the bodies
t of Filipinos are portrayed with grew
) some accuracy. The top of one poor
devil’s head is shot off. Another is
i minus an arm Another has a great
t hole through his abdomen. Blotches
I of blood, which happily show up black
f in the pictures, are seen over the once
white uniforms of dead men. The
> pictures represent war. And “war is
■. hell.”
i Without touching the least upon
I the merits of the controversy which
has made war in the Philippines im
perative, what will be the effect upon
the young men whom we have sent to
the islands of all of these scenes of
blood and death? And what will be
the effect at home of the publication
of such pictures as Leslie’s Weekly’ has
regaled us with? Can it be other than
brutalizing? That some of the men
at the front are becoming inured to
the slaughter is evidenced in the Ma
nila correspondence of the New York
Sun. The correspondent, writing of
one of the recent severe fights, in
which it was deemed necessary to
strike a heavy blow, says : “To shoot
a man at six feet range with a Spring
field rifle is a hard thing to do, but the
orders were to let no insurgent live*
and off would go the whole side of hie. ■’
head, or he would fall with a wound
through the abdomen large enough to
drop a potato through ”
In the same vein is a letter written
by Capt. Albert Otis, of Brunswick,
Me,, to a relative at that place. Capt.
Otis told of a hard fight, in which no
quarter was given or taken, asked or
expected. He said, in part : “Our reg
iment burned the big church near us
■ and killed over a hundred insurgents
lin it. We burned Santa Ana and
about half of this place. They shot at
troops from the bouses and from all
sides, and lisa boys didn’t do a thing
but blow their beads of! for the cour
tesy.”
It will be noticed that Capt. Otis
writes as coolly of blowing off beads
of men as if they were heads of spar
rows. The captain is not to be cen
sured for looking at it that way, of j
course, because in war it is the soldiers
business to kill, so long as the killing
is in open fight. And the captain has
got used to bis business.
It is probably the case that the bat
tlefield scenes in the Philippines are i
not as shocking as were the scenes on i
the field during our late civil war,
when the dead on both sides some
times numbered thousands But in
those former days the brutalizing ef
fect of the slaughter was limited to
those on the fields. Now, by the aid
of photography and photc-angraving,
we have the particularly horrible secs
lions of the trenches and fields brought
into our houses, in true-tc-nature
pictures, and served with our break
fast. Can these pictures have other
than a hardening effect upon the
children who delight in the illustrated
weeklies?
Remarkable Rescue-
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,
111., makes ths statement that she
caught cold, which settled on her
lungs; she was treated for a month by
her family physician, but grew worse.
He told her she was a hopeless victim
of consumption, and that no medicine
could cure her. Her druggist sug
gested Dr. King’s New Discover}’ for
consumption ; she bought a bottle and i
to her delight found herself benefitted
from first, dc.ee. She continued its use
and alter taking six bottle, found her

Bryan Talks at Milwaukee.
j Milwaikh Wis , April 13—At
■I t !><■ Jt tii-i i-n hn:<;uic tonight Hon.
W J Bryan ii.dii a'<d the lines u’ong
which th*, uex u'itional campaign
would be fought. Mr. Bryan said he
was taking no ri.-k in saying that no
step taken in 1896 should be retracted.
Suggestions that the money question
would be abandoned, he said, were not
supported by the evidence, and, if
anything, additional arguments had
arisen in support of free silver at 16
to 1
Mr. Bryan went on to give a Lis cry
of what he termed, the failures of the
repub ican party to refoim the curren
cy. Next the colonel tackled the
trusts
“The milk tiust reaches the infant
as he enters the world,” said Mr Bry
an. ‘ The ice tiust cools him in humid
weather, the coal trust keeps him
warm in the winter, while the coffin
trusts wait to receive him when life's
fitful dream is over.”
Mr. Bryan opposed an increase of
the army and reiterated his argument
against imperialism He recited the
recent proclamation to the Filipinos,
showing its similarity to tovicen Vic
toria’s proclamation to the people of
India forty years ago, when the peo
pie still complain that Englishmen
hold the offices, while they pay the
taxes.
Barnesville Tank Indicted
In the superior court of Pike coun
ty yesterday, the late manager of the
Barnesville dispensary was convicted
for selling liquor illegally in that in
stitution, and fined S3OO by Judge
■ Reagan.-
The case has been taken to the su
preme court. Col. Claude Estes, of
Macon, and Col. S. N. Woodard repre
sented the defendant, and Solicitor
General Bloodworth the state. «.
A Hmm rknblc I'iiino.
One Bouchet, who compiled a history
of Aequitaine, describes a remarkable
pianoforte built for Louis XI by the
Abbe de Baigne. The king one day
hearing a drove of hogs tuning up pre
paratory to a general rush for and pro
miscuous scramble at the slop pail,
laughingly ordered the priest to contrive
means by which these seemingly dis
cordant sounds might produce harmony.
Tradition does not affirm that the
reverend gentleman scratched his head
thereat, but owing to the prevalence of
the tonsure it is safe to assert that he
did not. Notwithstanding which, how- I
ever, he managed to nicely grade the
drove, from the thin treble of the shots
to the bassoon grunt of the tusked boar
and, having arranged them in stalls un
der a pavilion, announced to his aston
ished majesty, who had not thought of
the matter since, that the piano was in
tune.
The king, incredulous, attended, and
when tlie abbe struck the keys there
poured forth to the delight of the entire
court a burst of music such as Orpheus
never conceived. The explanation,
when the crafty prelate chose to expose
bis plan, was mt st simple. The keys
being struck, a prong set in motion by
the action was stuck into the pig, graz
ing or piercing, according to the force
ami temperament of the player, the re
sulting squeal, howl or groan producing
harmony.

The Samoan Situation
1 nless the commissioners chosen by
the three Powers interested in Samoa
reach their post of duty pretty scon
there will be happenings there that
they will find very difficult to dea
with. The danger of a rupture between
this country ami Great Britain on one
side and Germany on the other is not
by any means past.
There seems to be a disposition on
t'ne pari of all the officials in Samoa to
bring about trouble of a very serioiß
character The Germans, particularly
are extremely aggressive, and seem to
be determined that the differences be
tween the Powers shall not be peacea*
bl;, settled. If it had not been for the
proclamation of the German consul,
Rose, there would not have been an
attack c o Mataafa and bis followers by
the American and British warships
The affair reported in our dispatches
thia m ruing lu a very ugly look.
Every American, Englishman or Ger
man that is killed will have the effect
of making a peaceable settlement more
difficult The follow* is of Mataafa are
aggressive because of the encourage
ment they receive from the Germans.
It is sincerely to be hoped that the
Samoan difficulty will be adjusted
without a rupture of the friendly rela
tions of the three Powers interested

Excellent Combination. I
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known rernecly,
Syki'P of Figs, manufactured by the
Cai.ifoknia Fig Syeup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to t he
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the .system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently y< t promptly and enabling < ne
I to overcome habitual constipation per-
I manently. Its perfect freedom from
| every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it acting on the kidneys,
liver and hovels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the processor manu fact tiring ii -,-s
are used, as they .ire pleasant to the
