MR. BEEKS ASSAULTED
Attacked by Two Neeroes This Mora
ine and Badly Bruised.
• I
Two negroes made a dastardly at
tack upon VV M Beeks this morning,
and but for the arrival of another
gentleman upon the scene Mr. Beeks
would have fared very badly
Among Mr. Beek’s farm hands are
two negroes, Jerry Thomas and his
eon, Howard The latter was working
a guano distributor this morning
when through his carelessness a large
quantity of the fertilizer was wasted.
Mr. Beeks reprimanded the negro
for his carelessness when the boy’s
father came up and iuier.’ertd. He
asked Mr. Beoks if ho called his son a
•> when the gentleman replied
that he did not. The negro then said
“If you called him a you are
one yourself.”
Mr. Beeks struck at Thomas with
his fist, but was physically no match
for the burly negro, who knocked him
down.
Howard ran to his father’s assist
ance with a large rock in his band,
but before be got an opportunity to
use it, W. N. Woodward, of this city
drove up and the negro fled.
Mr. Beeks is of the opinion that ba
would have been brained with the
rock, but for the timely arrival of Mr»
Woodward, who drove out to his place
to see him on some business.
As the negroes fled they passed
through Mr. Beeks’ yard and told bis
cook that they had “just given old
man Bill a d good beating ”
Mr. Beeks was in the city this after
noon and was considerably bruised
up, while bis friends are indignant at
the dastardly assault made upon him,
by the two negroes whom lie bad be
friended in time of ne«d.

Governor General Wants to Pay Off
Cuban Troops.
I
Havana, April 30.—Governor Gen
Brooke purposes to bring the matter
of the payment of the troops
to a head immediately. Yesterday he
sent a request to General Maximo Go
mez that the latter and the junta of
consulting Cuban generals should
come at once to a decision as to
whether the Cuban muster rolls are
to stand as now made up or are to be
reduced, as General Gomez has been
expecting. If he could consult his
own desires, General Brooke would
pay SIOO per man to such as are en
titled to share in the $3,000,000, but if
General Gomez continues to vouch for
39,920 troops, payment, will be begun
without further delay on that basis.
On Tuesday, May 2d, three months
will have elapsed since Robert P. Por
ter, President McKinley’s special com
missioner, came to a formal agreement
with General Gomez that it was of the
first importance that the Cuban army
should be paid and disbanded, The
Cuban people are pessimists The
average Cuban is now whispering his
fears of a wild outbreak of brigandage
as soon as the troops are paid off. The
planters are suspending improvements
until developments are known aud
projects for investment are held in
abeyance.
Washington wishes the army prob
lem settled as quickly as possible, so
as to be able to withdraw at least two
mere regiments. American observers
do not expect that there will be much
outlawry Some they think is inevita
ble, but it will be put down so prompt
ly as to discourage adventurers.
Meat is still 40 cents a pound here,
the same as when the import duties
on cattle market taxes were collected,!
although nearly 20,000 bead of beef!
entered free this month.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 1, 1899.
Croker on the Coming Campaign-
Just before be started for Europe
' RichaiU Croker was sicked by the
newepapc-ra of New York whether be
bud made up his mind as to the proper
policy for Tammany Hull io pursue in
the ca mpaign of 1900. Ha said be
could not speak for the organization,
but that speaking for himself he was
satisfied that if the Democrats made
the 16 to 1 idea the leading issue, they
would fail m electing their candidate
for President In his opinion the
money question should bw left to Con
gress lor settlement. lie also said be
didn’t think that one-fifth of the voters
of the country agreed with Mr. Bryan’s
anti-expansion views.
As a matter of fact he doesn’t think
Mr. Bryan is nearly so big a man as
some other men in the Democratic
party. If he could have bis way he
would make an anti-trust plank the
leading one in the Democratic nation
al platform.
But Mr. Croker isn’t ar xions to keep
the Philippines. He would favor a
policy of swapping them for the Brit
ish West Indies, or a part of Canada,
but not before we have compelled the
Filipinos to acknowledge our authom
ty. \\ e must settle all trouble in the
islands before we undertake to dispose
of them.
Mr. Croker undoubtedly expresses
the views of the leading Tammany
Democrats, and perhaps the leading
Democrats of New York, when he
says that the Democratic party cannot
carry the country on a platform which
makes silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 the
leading issue. And it is probable that
he expresses the opinion of many
Democratic leaders of the West. The
Chicago Chronicle, one of the great
Democratic dailies of the West, in its
issue of Tuesday says: ‘ There isn’t a
Democratic Governor in a Northern
state. There isn’t a Democratic re
presentative in the Senate from any
Northern state. With Bryan as a
leader and 16 to 1 as an issue, there
isn’t likely to be a single electoral vote
outside the old cotton states for the
Democratic nominee."
Are Mr. Croker and the Chronicle
of sufficient importance as political
prophets to cause the Democratic
leaders to hesitate about making the
16 to 1 issue the leading one in the
next national campaign?
Belmont's Letter-
Will Mr. Bryan undertake to an
swer Mr. Belmont’s last letter? There
are undoubtedly a great many Demos
crats who would like for him to an
swer it.
There is one point in it that ought
to be answered, and that this : On
what ground does Mr. Bryan base his
position that only thoso who are will
ing to stand by the platform of 1396
ought to be permitted to assist in the
making of the next platform, in view
of the assertion of Mr. Belmont, that
he, Mr. Bryan, reftrsed to stand by the
platform of 1892, and yet insisted on
having a hand in making the platform
of 1896.
Mr. Belmont goes further than tha’,
and declares that Mr. Bryan conspired
with Silver Republicans and Populists
to overthrow the platform of 1892
long before the meeting of the Demo
cratic convention of 1896, and, with
the help of others, finally succeeded in
overthrowing it. If, prior to the con
vention ol 1896, Mr. Bryan thought it
right to refuse to stand by the platform
of 1892, why does be think it wrong,
previous to the convention of 1900,
to refuse to stand by the platform in
existence —the platform of 1896? This
is virtually the question which Mr.
Belmont asks, and which Mr Bryan is
expected to answer. The answer ought
/»
be the point when it is made"—Sa

An Editor’s Pass-
One of the beauties and charms of
an editor’s life, says Printer’s Ink, is
his dead-heading it on all occasions.
No one who has ever feasted on the
sweets of that bliss can begin to take
in the glory of its happiness He does
SIOO worth rd advertising for a rail
road, gets a “pass” for a year, rides $25
worth and then is looked upon as a
dead-head or half-blown dead-beat
He puffs a concert trope S3O worth
and gets $1 in complimentary tickets
and is thus “passed" free. If the ball
is crowded he is begrudged the room
be occupies, for if his complimenta
ries were paying tickets the troupe
would be so much in pocket. He blows
and puffs a church festival free to any
desired extent, and does the poster
Drintine' at half rales, and rarelv o-pfa I
’ • w o • - -
a “thank you” for it II goes as part
of his duty as an editor. He does
more gratuitously for the town and
community than all the rest of the
population put together, and gets
cussed for it all ; while in many in
stances where a man donates a few
dollars to a Fourth of July celebration,
bise ball club or church, is gratefully
remembered. Oh, it is such a sweet
thing to be called an editor. He passes
“free,” you know.

Excellent Combination. |
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy.
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig S'-rup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be 1
medicinally laxative and presenting 1
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers '
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per- '
manent ly. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality anil sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys, 1
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they- arc pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and /
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fig Syp.i r
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.
