A PLEASANT OUTING.
The Griffin RitDs Will Spend Severa
Daye at Wai gg. •
Ihe <>rilllu ILfl-s he'd m t-nthu-i
--asiie meeting in their »imori I t.-t
night and decided tn iikj an outing
next month.
If e.-Hiafiictory ar: .-in-'i-u - can b-
made they will upend several days at
Warm Springs leaving Griffin about
June 11th.
The apurupi laiion timT by in ■ last
legislature was so email that the state
troops are unable to have their annual
encampment and the Rilles propose
to have one of their own -a small
scale.
They will app y to the quartermaster
for permission to use the tents belong
mg to the State, and will establish a
commissary department that will give
them a more varied menu than that
• .pplied at the encampments
(’apt. .1. H Smith will ba in cc,tii
tnand of the company, and he < xprcls
to carry every member, with one or
two exceptions, as the men iue en<hu»
toastie over the trip.
The men will be under military dis
cipline while in camp, and will be
drilled and receive out-door instruc
tions daily, bo their outing will be
beneficial as well as pleasant.
The company is in a very flourish
ing condition now. and their proposed
outing will give additional life to the
organization.
The Inevitable Solution.
The Hon. John Temple Graves, who
has been lecturing in the North and
West on the “negro problem,” has re
cently published an article in which
he says that the separation of the two
races is “the logteal, the inevitable, the
only solution of thia great problem,”
and continues :
“The politicians and the apathy be
hind them may postpone the solution
for a while longer, but sooner or Inter
the wisdom of the fathers and tie
purpose of the Almighty will prevail.
“The negro (route a hopeless and
unequal competition. His destiny is
set down in competition with the
destiny of the dominant and all con
quering race cf history.
“Iho last best hope of the negro is
separati on.
“The last best hope of the white
man for purity and justice and law
and civilization and for material de
velopment is in separation from the
race which tempts him to violate them
all.
‘lt is high time for b >th races to
realize this stern, inexorable fact, and
set themselves peaceably and humane
ly to the inevitable destiny of division ”
Mr. Graves declares that th." pi- pie
of the South, white ami black, “would
ba amazed to knew the magnitude of
the indorsement and approval which
meets the proposition everywhere.”
Commenting on this, the Charleston
News and Courier says : “We believe
with Mr. Graves that the s> paralion
is as inevitable as it is desirable in the
best interests of both races. Ils ac
ceptance and accomplishment is only
a question of time.”
After all there are a great many
people left who know the truth when
they see it —Macon Telegraph

Why the South is Poor.
Judge Robert Powell made a speech
in Vicksburg last week, in the course
of which he said : “The reason of our
poverty ia not hard to find. Take our
average citizen. He gets up in the
morning and pulls < n a pair of socks
from Lynn, Mass,, he puts mi a pair
of shoes from Boston ; a sirt of clothes
from Philadelphia ; goes into his break
fast, draws up a chair made in Chica
go, and eats from a tab'e which came
from Cincinnati ; sweetens his coffee
from Rio with sugar from Louisiana,
takes a slice of ham cured in St. Louis,
and butters a biscuit of Minnesota
flour with olemargerine which came
from the Lord knows where; be eats
South Caroline or Louisiana rice, and
even the very grits upon his table
were ground in some Northern mill ;
be goes to his stable and puts a set of
harness from St. Louis on a mule from
Kentucky ; hitches it to a wagon from
Illinois, and drives over to his neigh
bor’s and complains of hatd times Os

thing people eat, drink, wear and drive

Trouble Threatened in Cuba

r prosper!'y in Cuba with, tit iroub'e
e with ihe I'uhai.s, Ihe majority of
? our volunteer officers w bn, after service
in Cuba, have expressed opinions for
>, publication since their return home,
have said that the Cubans are an tin
-8 grateful people, and that they fi ll no
gratitude whatever to us for relit , ng
‘ their country from the yoke of Spain.
If the Cubans act decently they will
, have self-government. The Congress
of the United States hug promised it
. to them, and there isn’t the remotest
probability that it will fail to keep
> faith with them. But if tiny act in
bad faith, if they compel us to use
1 force to accomplish what we have in
1 view, it is pretty safe to say that Cu
’ ban independence will not be realized
for many a year, if at all.
The Cuban generals who are block
, log the payment to the Cuban soldiers
of the $3,000,000 sent to Cui t by the
: government, and the disbani m-mt <>l
the Cuban army, can hardly rt present
the Cuban people If they d< there
may be need of volunteers for Cuba
before the summer is over. It is cer
tain that we slwtll not leave Cuba- un
til we think our work there is done,
and we shall be the judges as to when
it is done. 5S otild it not have been a
wiser plan to have offered the Cuban
soldiers nothing? The proposition to
pay them that amount has led the Cu
ban generals to believe apparently
that if they threaten to make trouble
a great deal more than that sum will
be forthcoming—Savannah News
Tiscovared by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. “Disease fastened its clutch
es upon her and for seven years she
withstood its severest tests, but her
vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed incessantly, and
could not sleep. She finally discovered
away to recovery, by purchasing of
us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Discov
ery for Consumption ami was so much
relieved on taking the first dose, that
she slept all night ; and with two hot-|
I t ; es, has been absolutely curtd Her

A Gloomy Outlook.
Apr p.is of the recent divorce and
immediate rc-marriage in New York
"high life,” the Evening Post of that
city paints a gloomy picture of present
and prospective morality in the north. <
It is characteristic of the I’ost to u-e '
strong language, but it is to be feared
i that there is only tio much b is in
i fact for the following :
■ “The institution of (Marriage can j
[ hardly be said to exist among us, any
I more than in the fifth century at
Rome, when twenty wives in succes
sion were not an extrsordinary allow
ance even for a ChiHtian deai jn.
"When you see a couple living to
gether, happily i r unhappily, in‘G 'd'e
holy ordinance,' you may feel pretty
sure that it is not the law of the land
that is causing it, but pure inclinatiou
or strong seti-e of loyalty, truth and
honor. Ministers, and even judges
who administer ttie law, have no hesi
tation in making the law on this point
a mockery, without taking the trouble I
to offer any excuse but persona! taste
or convenience Men and women b >th I
act as if we were div long on a desert
island, where sense of individual duty
had to do the work of law givers and
jurists. * -r * It is not a wild suppo
sition th it in anothei gi nerati n we ‘
shall be in erj jyment. of advau igi-s, j
in point of expen-e, of the regime of j

Pitts’ Carminative is pleasant to the

give satisfaction. It carries children over
the critical time of teething, and is the

value. E. H. Dorsey, Athens, Ga , writes;
