HIS DIVERSIFIED FARMING
We Don't Pay Enough Attention
to Small Things-
The Giiffin correnpumh-nl (l s t f ,<-
Macon Telegraph writes hi>j paper an
follows :
Grifi in, Ga , May 10—Jn thorough
touch with 1 he 1 olograph m to tliver
lifyiog the products of the country is
Mr. E B. Oxford of the firm of I). A.
Oxford & Son, dealers in hides find
live cattle. He is thoroughly up to
date when it comes to the stock mark
et, yet his utterances are gems of cons
servatism When asked about cattle
in this section he said :
“Ask me what you wish und I will
answer, but there are others that you
can go to for your information. About
cattle? Why, yes, I handle them on
their feet and can say to you never in
my life have I seen fat cattle fell for
prices such as they have brought in
Griffin this spring, and tin market is
always good.
“Right here in Middle Georgia we
have pasturage that is as line, if noli
finer, than any of the stock raising
states, and our cows and calves, bulls
or steers always command a good
price in any market.
“During the present season ship
ments have been made from near here
to Charleston, S. C , Atlanta and Cin
cinnati, O , but I am forced to believe
that Atlanta is one of the best mars
Irets, for it is a distributing point. In
our section now is a man who is
buying up al! the milch cons he cau,
rod will ship a car load north as soon
is he can get them, and that will be
bis week, for I know that the prices
hey are bringing will readily cause
dm to close up his lot.
“The result of all this,” said Mr. Ox
ord, “is to show that Georgia is a
itock raising country ; that cotton is
io good when it comes to natural ad
-adages. A good swamp pasture kept
ree from underbrush and allowed to
;row up in grass with cattle grazing
ipon it, will give better returns than
nvestments in guano and cotton. For
attle, you don’t need cottonseed and
mils, if you have forage or pasture,
nd they are a much surer crop than
otton and easier to raise.”
In Mr. Oxford’s place fourteen cakes
I beeswax, from the size of a wcffli to
, muffin, were noticed and inquired
.bout. Mr. Oxford said that he had
ust paid out |'G GO for that amount of
tuff, and that if farmers would pay
nore attention to small things they*
vonld be in a better fix, for there is
lever a time when there is not a des
nand for wax, hides, tallow or live
attle, and that Georgia is the place to
aiee them.

AUTONOMY FOR FILIPINOS.
i Schuman Informed of Plan for
Government of Islands.
Washington, May 11—Secretary
< Hay has telegraphed President Schur
man, by direction of President Mc
i Kinley, a statement in regard to the
character of government the United
States of America is willing to estab
lish in the Philippines, after the eur-
I render of Aguinaldo and the restoration
i of peace. It will be more civil than
military and somewhat similar to that
. in Porto Rico. The head of the gov
ernment will be a governor, whose
functions will be civil, although he
! may be a military man. There will be
an advisory council, composed of
Filipinos, whose business will be to
confer with the governor on official
matters and suggest changes in the
i manner of exercising authority. The
local governments will be entirely in
the hands of the Filipinos, subject to
certain supervision by the Americans
The plan proposed practically!
j amounts to an autonomy system, and
it is believed it will be accepted, ft
will continue only until congress de
cides what shall be the character of
the permanent government. President
Scburman was instructed to commu
nicate with Gen. Aguinaldo or his au
thorized representative the proposi
tions of the United States in regard
to the character of the government
and the officials believe he is now con
ferring on the subject.
Next Falls Elections-
The state elections which will be
hold next fall will be especially impor
tant in view of the possible bearing
their results may have upon national
affairs. These elections will occur in
such important states as Maryland,
lowa, Kentucky, Ohio, Massachusetts,
Mississippi, Nebraska, New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersev, and Vir
ginia. Thus every section of the
Union will be represented and un-j
doubtedly there will be some public j
expression relative to the policy of I
territorial expansion. The respective i
parties in each state will submit a j
platform and, as a consequence, we
may be able to make an intelligent
estimate of the trend of public opinion.
I f so, the effect upon congress will be!
very marked, for these elections are!
set for November, about a month!
prior to the opening of the regular I
session. When the new members'
were elected last fall the expansion !
question was not well-defined We
had gained Porto Rico, broken the!
Spanish yoke in Cuba, and had taken !
possession of Hawaii. The war against I
the Filipinos had not been undertaken,
the pi’.“.ce treaty bad not been naade.
It was ilien generally believed that we
intended to turn the islands over to a
native government. The idea that we
would attempt to rule 12,000,000 peo
ple on 1,200 islands, ten thousand
miles from San Francisco had not en
tered the heads of the people Aguinal
do was then a hero to tho American
mind and Admiral Dewey seemed to
be his prophet.
The situation, however, changed in
the twinkling of an eye and in Febru
ary we found, iu Aguinaldo, a red
handed foe instead of an obsequious
friend, and we have been filling the
trenches with the Filipino dead ever
since, besides burying many of our
own valient-hearted soldiers. The
question is, therefore, as we have sug
gested, pretty sure to come more or
less into issue in the state elections as
it will be the first time that the people
have had any opportunity at all to
speak their minds, and as about one
fourth of the states will vote and as
these states are scattered throughout I
the Union, a fair indication of the I
trend of public sentiment ought to be I
given —Macon News.
Millions Givsn Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the pub
lie to know of one concern in the land
who are not afraid to be generous to
the needy and suffering. The pro
prietors of Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds,
have given away over ten million trial
bottles of this great medicine; and
have the satisfaction of knowing it has
absolutely cured thousands of hopeless
cases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarse
ness and all diseases of tbe Throat,
Chest and Lungs are surely cured by
it. Call on Harris & Son and Carlisle
& Ward Druggists, and get a trial bot

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA,
POLITICS IN CUBA
: Gen Gomez Seeking to Become a Po
tent Political Factor
Havana, May 11.— I 1,,- [ olitical p d
■ in Cuba is beginning to boil. Gen
• Gomez and bis friends mi- anxious tc
- counteract the growing influence ol
the national party. Gomez has begun
the organization of a party, to be dom-
■ iuated by him, which shall Lethe lever
to keep him a potent political factor
after the Cuban a’rir-y is disbanded It
has been decided to resurrect tho old
revolutionary party, which was found
ed by Marti ami carried on alter his
death by Estrada Palma The cbj< ct
of the organization was absolute inde
pendence. It is maintained that this
is unattained, hence the work should
go on. Gomez has asked (or a confer
ence with Gen. Brooke tomorrow, it is
understood, for the purpose of discuss
ing his status toward the United States
after disbanding the army.
Three hundred and thirty-five law-
I yers and physicians have taken degrees
at the University of Havana since
April 6, from which date the universi
ty fees were suppressed.
The junta of Cuban get ,-r.ila b-s
decided to accept the distribution of
the $3,000,000 donated by the United
States on the terms insisted upon by
Gen. Brooke, namely, that those sol
diers turning in a full equipment shall
receive the money. Reports made to
Gen. Brooke by American officers
who were detailed to investigate the
matter show that not more than 15,000
guns are in possession of tho Cuban
forces. Lists of the Cuban army, with
over 39,000 uames on them, are being I
copied. They will be kept intact, but
the men who do not turn in their arms
on the day of payment will find their
uames stricken from the lists.
There is much talk here regarding
the police department, which is being
likened to the New York force under
Tammany rule. It is alleged that
gambling houses and many cases are
running under palice protection. The
old Spanish law forbids gambling, and I
full responsibility for the present exis
tence of the evil rests, not on Gen.
Ludlow, the military governor of the
city, but on the Cuban police force.
The facts of the situation are known
to Gen. Brooke and his cabinet, and
Secretary of Justice Lauuzi will issue
an address shortly to the courts and
the police, calling on them to enforce
the law to the letter.
Spreads Like Wildfire-
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, 0., writes:
“Electric Bitters are the best selling
bitters J have ever handled in my 20
years experience” You know why?
Most disenses begin in disorders of
in .
and nerves. Electric Bitters tones up
the stomach, regulates the liver, kid
neys and bowels, purifies the blood,
strengthens the nerves, hence cures
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,
sold by Harris and Son and Carlisle A
Ward, druggists. Guaranteed.

More Fighting Necessary-
According to the reports from Wa.-L
ington the President was c nfident i
last Saturday that the fighting in the j
Philippines would be over practically I
within forty-eight hours. Ho had very
good reasons for thinking that the in-!
surrection was about at an end. The!
Manila dispatches indicated as much.!
j The fighting is still going on, however, j
and it may continue for several weeks,
lor it may come to an end suddenly.)
I It looks as if one more important vic
tory would be necessary to convince!
the insurgents that their cause is;
hopeless
The President was asked last Satur-I
day why it was that the fighting was i
continued while the negotiations for
peace were in progress, lie said that
the Filipinos misinterpreted every ef
fort we made to deal with them kind
ly They mistook our leniency f r
weakness, and c n dud' 1 th it if they
but held out long enough they could
have peace on Uu ir own terms 1 his

* weaker, and that the surrender of the
Filipinos cannot be delayed very much
’ longer. But if th- Filipinos were to
) get the idea that we were anxious for
I peace—sc anxious that we were wil
ling make great < <mce:-■-ir- to t
it—they would abandon all idea of
surrendering, at least for the present.
1 It is necessary therefore for speedy
success that the war shall be emitinurd
with all of the energy th Gen Otis
1 can put into it
One reason why the insurgents are
delaying the peace negotiations is that
they hope that the rainy season which
‘ is near at hand will be of great advant
1 tag.- to them. They know that during
1 that season our troops will not be able
to do much more than defend Manila
—that they will have to be placed in
barracks, in all probability, to save I
them from serious illness. It may bo
their purpose to try to strengthen their
army during that period by getting
Some of the tribes which have not yet
taken part in the war to join them
The way to prevent that, and to thor
oughly dishearten them is to press the
fighting vigorously. About- the only
thing they respect is force, and the
sooner we convince them that we are
very much in earnest, and that we
have the power to compel them to
recognize our authority, the sooner
will the war be over. In predicting
last Saturday that the war would be
ended in 48 hours, the President was
too sanguine, but judging from Gen.
Otis’ dispatches, the Filipinos will not
be able to bold out many days, if no
misfortune befalls (ur forces Savan
