SELLING THEIR ARMS
Cubans Disposing of Weapons to Rev
olutionary Agents in Colombia.
Havana, May s—Ei Reconceutrado
stys that Gen Nodarse will not accept
the post of chief of the rural guard in
Havana province, because he says he
cannot submit to the orders of the
Americans.
The consul of the republic of Colom
bia has filed a prolest with the secre
tary of state, declaring that the Cuban
soldiers are selling arms to revolu
tionary agents in Colombia. The con
sul believes that the main ptomoter in
the sale of arms is a general in the
Cuban army, but a Columbian by
birth, who joined Calix'o Garcia in
New York in 1896 and came with him
to Cuba. The consul declared that
most of the arms are supplied by the
troops in the provinces of Matar zis
and Puerto Principe. The civil gov
ernors of these provinces deny the
consul’s charges.
A newspaper, inspired by Gen. Go
mez and backed financially by some 1
of bis friends, will soon be established i
here. It will be called La Indepen- i
dencia, and its program will be the es- ’
tablishment of a republic in Cuba un- ;
der the presidency of Gen Gomez.
The transport Havana will sail on
Saturday for New York with 1,500 I
troops. Gen. Brooke has ordered Ma- ’
jor Glennon, of the medical corps, and
Drs. Gregory, Medina and Ferrer to
accompany the soldiers The Vigilan
cia has sailed with SGO troops aboard. ’
Gen. Ludlow has ordered the con- s
struction of two barracks for the ac- <
commodalion of 400 men near Morro
Castle and the Cabana fortress
La Luche says that the purchase of j
the Sagua and Caibarieu railways> f
which was effected on Sunday, will i
probably not prove a good business 1
transaction for the Spanish Bank of '
Cuba, which furnished $2,000,000 of ,
the purchase price. I

Gilmore's Genorosity
£
Il was at the time when Gilmore ’
was at the bight of bis Taris engage
ment that bis agent ran off with his
funds and Idl the old bandmaster al
most stranded, writes Lilian Nordica j
in Ainslee’s Magazine. Despite his i
sincere trouble he retained his imper
turbable good nature and came out of 1
it sucessfully. He came to me one I
morning, smiling good-naturedly as g
usual. After greeting me and inquir- t
ing after my health, he said, “My dear s
child, you have saved some little mon- j
ey on this tour.” I told him yes.
“Now, I would like to borrow that (
little from you." j
I was very much surprised at the (
request, for he said nothing whatever i
of his loss. Still, he had been so uni- t
formly kind and generous, and bad t
won our confidence and regard so
wholly, that I a could not hesitate. I >
turned over nearly all I bad and he ,
gathered it up and went away, simply i
thanking me. Os course, I beard of <
the defalcation later. It was all ]
around. Our salaries went right on <
however, and in a few months the
whole thing had been quite forgotten, (
when he came to me one morning t
with money ready in his hand. ,
“To pay you what 1 owe you, my ]
dear.”
* Oh, yes,” I said, “so and so much,”
naming the amount.
“Here it is,” he said, and handing 1
me over a roll of bills, went away. Os '
1
course, I did not count it until a little
later, but when I did I found just f
double the amount I had named, and <
no persuasion would ever induce him
to accept a penny of it back.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
wnen it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.

You can’t keep a good thing down. |
News of it travels fast. When things ,
are “the best,” they become “the best
selling.” Abraham Hare, a leading '
druggist, of Belleville, O, writes: <
“Electric Bitters are the best selling
bitters I have ever handled in my 20
years experience.” You know why?
Most diseases begin in disorders of (
stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, blood ,
and nerves. Electric Bitters tones up '
the stomach, regulates the liver, kid
neys and bowels, purifies the blood, !
strengthens the nerves, hence cures 1
multitudes of maladies. It builds up *
the entire system. Puts new life and <
vigor into any weak, sickly, run- ;
down man or woman. Only 50 cents,

Will Live In Griffin. i
The Griffin Correspondent of The
Telegraph contained the following
item of interest.
“Major Marcus W. Beck of the '
Third Georgia regiment, who is better
known and loved and feared in this
section as Judge Beck, was in the city
today and looked bis healthy, genial 1
self. In reply to the question of ‘Will 1
you become one of us?” he said :
“It is probable that I will make
Griffin my home, but I don’t know
just where I will have my residence. \
Os course I will practice law for a liv
ing ami as (or a partner, I have made
no definite arrangements for anything
as yet."
With an expressive shrug of the
shoulders and a genial smile, the talk
was at an end, but Griffin has stamped
its seal upon one of the brainy men of
Georgia, and we believe Marcus W.
Beck, be be judge, major or private
citizen, is ours.”
In this connection we are glad to
say that Judge Beck has purchased
the property near the head of Hill
street, known as the old home of W.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 5, 1899.
FILIPINOS STILL RETREAT.
It is Expected They Will Make a
Stand at Arayat
Manila, May s.—Mujor General
McArthur has carried Sir. Tomas, as»
ter encountering strong resistance.
The Filipinos are retreating toward
San Isidro, and it is expected they will
make a stand at Arayat, at which
place the whole of the rebel forces in
the province of Panganga is concen
trating.
Il is reported that, impressed by the
recent events, the Filipinos are waver
ing in their allegiance to the insurrec
tion and are likely to assume a neutral
attitude.
It seems as though Gen. Antonio
Luna’s forces are destined to annihila
tion within a few days unless they
surrender or scatter.
The American army Iris been skill
fully posted at points of immense
strategic advantage. The insurgents
expected them to advance on Bali nag
byway of Quinga and bad furrowed
the entire country beyond Quinga
with the strongest s»rt of intrench
ments.
Instead of taking this course, Gen.
McArthur swung toward San Tomas,
the route to which was almost unpro
tected. Gen. Lawton brought hie brig
ade in against Balsuam from the
southeast, covering the line of retreat
the rebels toward the mountains and
depriving them ot a refuge on which
they bad already counted Gen, Law
ton captured 50 000 bushels of rice, an
important part of the stores establish
ed by the rebels.

Two Conventions Suggested-
Two conventions have been suggest
ed to deal with the condition of affairs
which exist in this state —a condition
which was brought forcibly to the
attention of the people by the crimes
and lynching of Sam Hose. One,sug
gested by Judge George Hillyer, is that
a convention of the most prominent
men of the state be called to consider
the best means for dealing with lynch
ing and the crimes which lead to it.
The other, proposed by Mr. Louis
F. Garrard, is that a constitutional
convention bo called for the pur
pose of practically eliminating the
negro from politics and to provide
for a more speedy trial of those guilty
of the crime for which lynching is the
most com mon.
The condition which confronts the
people of this and every other South
ern state is likely to grow worse rather
than better, no matter what means are
adopted to improve it except the mi
gration of the blacks or withdrawal
from them of the political and civil
rights they now have. We do not be
lieve there can be peace between the
white and black races in this country
if political equality is permitted to the
blacks. The superior race must dom
inate everywhere and all times
Ex-Senator Ingalls stated the truth
the other day when be said that the
President would not dare to appoint a
negro postmaster in any Northern
city—that no village in either Penn
sylvania or Massachusetts would sub
mit to negro domination to any extent.
He further said that the reason the
race was not prominent in lh( N rlh
as in the South was that in the North
the negro aas not in the white man’s
way, but that if there was a large ne
gro population in that section, as there
is in the South, thete would ba the
same race frictions there as are here.
That be unders'anda the situation
there is no doubt, and it is to hi- cred
it that he has the courage to state his
convictions.
The race question, then is not a
question for the South alone. It is a
question for the whole country, and it
1 ought to be discussed now with a view
to its permanent settlement. It is
doubtful if anything that could be
done by a convention of prominent
men of this state or by a constitution
al convention would permanently set
tle it, It is probably true that a

speedy trial of criminals guilty of as
saulting women and a law for taking
tho testimony of the victims of the as
saults in private would help the situa
tion greatly, in the rural districts’,
where there is now constant alarm, be
cause the certainty of swift and sure
punishment would tend to lessen the
number of. the assaults, and the shield
ing of victims of them from court
room publicity would have a tendency
to placate the mob spirit, but the race
problem would not be solved.
Is there not something worth con
sidering in the suggestion that the
migration of negroes to the Philippines
be encouraged? T. Thomas Fortune, a
negro of considerable prominence in
Washington, says : “A# a solution of
the difficulty, I believe that if the talk
about populating the Philippine islands
with Afro-Americans could take tan
gible shape it would do it. If the
government will furnish the transpor
tation we can furnish plenty of people
who will go to those islands. They
would be strong men, thoroughly
imbued with American ideas, who
would be a positive acquisition to the
Philippine population.”
If only a small part of the negroes
emigrated the negro would be less in
the way of the white man in the South,
and the race antagonism therefore '
wouldn’t be so intense. The race prob- <
Lm> is a most serious one, and its soln
tion calls for careful thought of the
best minds of the country. Hasty and
ill-considered action might be produc
tive of worse difficulties than those
with which we now have to control.—
