THE EVENING GAEL. fol. X- No. 189 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. ♦ ♦ Bucklen’s Arnica Salve- THE BEST SALVE in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rheum Fever Sores, Tetter, Chapped Hands, Chilblains, Corns, and all Skin Eruptions, and positively cures Piles, or no pay re quired, It is guaranteed to give perfect satisfaction or money refunded.

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.

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.

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. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. ?he Kind You Have Always Bought 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.

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 danger of a rupture between this country ami Great Britain on one side and Germany on the other is not by any means past.
