EVACUATE MARCH 4TH.
Reflations Denouncing the Course of
Spun Introduced by Mason-
Senator Mason, of Illinois, has pre
sented tbe following resolution:
"Resolved, That the president of the
United Slates be and be is hereby re
quested to notify Spain and the insur
gents of Cuba that tbe war (so called)
must at once cease and be discontinu
ed and that tbe United States of Amer
ica hereby declare and will maintain
peace on tbe island of Cuba.”
Tbe resolution of Mason was preced
ed by tbe following preamble:
“Whereas tbe war between Spain
and the insurgeants of Cuba has con
tinued until all christendom is shocked
by its barbarities. Pretended autono
my has been! offered by Spain and
refused by the Cubans in arms. The
Spaniards as a war measure, burned
their homes and drove their women
and children (since known as concens
tradoes) into the fortified towns where
some have been starved, others mur
dered and women and children de
bauched and treated beyond the power
of language to describe.
“The daughters of insurgent soldiers
have been sold into houses of infamy
and boys of tender years have been
shot as spies tinder the form of civiliz
ed war.
“American citizens have been driven
into the towns and refused the oppor
tunity to work, and left to starve, as a
part of the Spanish war measure, until
we were compelled to take from the
people of the United States large sums
of money to feed and clothe our citi
zens and to return them to our coun
try.
“And now has the Spanish war
measure against the concentradoes
continued so far that tbe concentra
does are unfed and starving, naked
and filthy in so much that disease and
death is among them and has spread
into our country.
“Hundreds and thousands have per
ished in this way and by this means
the unholy work of extermination goes
on.
' The slaughter of the innocents and
non-combatants goes on. The flag of
truce has been abandoned, and tbe ex
termination or the independence of
the insurgents must be the final out
come.
“Under the present charity seeking
of tbe administration charitably dis
posed citizens of the United States can
not contribute money, medicine and
food or clothing to the insurgent ip
the field or the hospital and should any
attempt be made to do sb it would be
captured and prevented by order of tbe
government of the United States.”
Cooper to Ask Clemency.
- Douglass Cooper, tried last week in
LaGrange on the charge of murder,
found guilty of involuntary man
slaughter in tbe killing of Claud Dun
eon and sentenced to serve twelve
months in the chaingang, will ask ex
ecutive clemency at tbe hands of tbe
prison commission.. He is now in the
Fulton county convict camps, having
been leased for $24 during his term of
sentence.
In view of the fact that at his first
trial be was found guilty and sentenced
to serve a term of ten years in the pen
itentiary service of the state, his sen
tence of twelve months would look
like he would have been satisfied with
the resalt. But be is not, and now
wants the prison commission to cut
down this sentence
A Sad Demise-
Yesterday morning about 9 o'clock
Mr. Charles G Driver died at bis
home, corner of Poplar ind Sixth
streets, after a lingering disease of sev
era I months.
Mr. Driver was born and reared in
Pike county where he has scores of
friends who admired him io life and
will sympathize with his widow and
children over their sad and irreparable
loss.
He left a devoted wife and seven
children who alone can know and feel
their loss and helpless condition
The remains will be carried to Zeb
ulon thia morning where they will be
buriel al 11 o'clock.

Kissing in Atlanta-
Trust Atlanta for sending-out attrac
tive advertisements of herself to the
world! One that has recently been
promulgated is well calculated to draw
young men like a loadstone draws iron
filings. It is to tbe general effect that
kisses are freely on tap in the Gate
City ; that kissing has become a social
fad of the season, and that it is indulg
ed in at the swell functions “not under
tbe mistletoe, out under the palm,”
and often "in full view of the drawing
room windows, in tbe full glare of tbe
electric lights.” This statement is
upon the authority of one whom a
special correspondent of the New York
Herald calls “one of tbe wealthiest
and most prominent of Atlanta’s socie
ty leaders.” Backed by such authority,
it would be presumptuous to doubt
the correctness of the allegation; In
deed, the Atlanta Journal prints a part
of a letter from the society leader in
question, in which she tells of incidents
of kissing at swell social gatherings
which came under her own observa
tion.
It may be observed that this matter
is an illustration of tbe fact that when
science and sentiment run up against
each other, science is more than apt
to “get it in the neck ” The doctors
and tbe other bacillus propagators,
have for months been preaching that
kissing is a menace to good health ;
that tbe labial contact serves to dis
tribute germs which are prejudicial to
the parties to the salute. Nevertheless,
here are these Atlanta belles and beaux
who are actually flying into tbe face
of science, and tbe faces of each other.
Tbe Atlanta society leader who crit
icises kissing does not condemn tbe
practice as considered in itself. She
rather likes tbe idea of kisses exchang
ed by young people, under strictly
proper circumstances, and when they
are expressive of genuine sentiment.
Such kisses, she says, have always
been and probably always will be given
and received ; but what she objects to
is the open, above-board, flippant in
dulgence in the kiss, and that it has
become a fad. “Why, girls, what are
you thinking oi?” she asks.
The probabilities are that the girls
are thinking of kissing ; just kissing.
It is said that a certain young lady
who was a great favorite with learned
men—professors, lawyers, judges and
the like —owed her success to tbe fact
that she always planned her gowns
while they were talking to her. The
chances are that tbe Atlanta society
girls do not bother their brains with
tbe planning of gowns while they are
being kissed.
“This revival of kissing is periodic,
like everything else,” says tfie society
leader in question. Os course tbe as
sertion has reference to Atlanta. Just
when the preceding epidemic broke
out and bow long it lasted is not stat
ed, nor is the date of tbe beginning of
the present one given. It can be be
lieved, however, that the social func
tions of tbe season will be well attended
by young men, at least while the fad
is in vogue.—Savannah News.
A Good Play.
There was a large and appreciative
audience at the Olympic last night to
witness tbe presentation of the Private

Many persons this morning doubt
less will feel their liver is in a better
condition than for years—all from
having a two hours’ laugh last night.
Tonight will be presented “A Jolly
Night,” and if you miss it you will fail
to see the most humorous and laugha
ble play ever presen'ed to a Griffin au
dience.

BRIFFIN, &EOR&IA, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 10, 1898.
Fortune Telling in Washington.
It was in the rotunda of tbe capital,
b where the historical painting are, says
i the Criterioo. The guide—an old fel
t low, well informed, a trifle crusty, and
i easily put out by inattention on tbe
t part of his charges—was explaining to
j a New York excursion party the paint-
I iag which represents Washington tak
ing the oath of President. He let
r uimself out a little, and was followed
’ with close attention by all the party
; but two, a vivacious young lady and a
} young man, evidently much fascinated
i by her charms. Tbe young woman was
t seated on a bench and the young man
: was standing over her. She bad hold
L of his hand, and between giggles was
• telling him his fortune by the lines of
, his palm. The old guide saw the per
; formance, and was incensed that they
• failed to be interested by his oration. |
“Miss," said he, rather sharply, to
i tbe young woman, “do you know what
i year it was that Washington took tbe
i oath of office?”
■ The young girl blushed and said
nothing. The rest of. the party smiled
' at her confusion. A few, who were
envious, perhaps, chuckled.
“Do you know, sir?” this time’put-
■ ting the question to the girl’s escort.
i ‘ No,” responded the young fellow,
, “and, what’s more, old chap, I don’t
care. I’m much more interested in
learning about my own future than I
am about Washington’s past.”

A PROMINENT MEMPHIAN WRITES
Dr. H. Mozley, Atlanta: Having been a
great sufferer for three years from indiges

me to try Dr. Mozley’s Lemon Elixir,
which remedy he had used for several
years. I commenced its use, and must say
that your Lemon Elixir is the greatest
medicine on earth. I have never suffered
a day since I commenced using Lemon

Sam Jones on Kissing.
Rev. Sam Jones was asked what he
thought of kissing. He said :
“A nod of tbe bead is a recognition
of tbe passer by ; a shake of tbe band
is a courtesy between friends; but
when it comes to a kiss, then we bad
better stop and ask some questions.
First, who is it that wants a kiss, and
what is he going to do with it after be
gets it? What will follow this kiss, or
these kieses? Really first-class gentle
men and really first-class ladies don’t
do much kissing before they ore mar
ried, in my judgment. The second
class can do pretty much as they please
anyhow.
“I don’t want anybody kissing my
aister, and as a gentleman I am not
going to kiss anybody else's sister, for
no gentleman will treat another man’s
sister or wife or daughter differently
from what he would ask for his own
sister or wife or daughter.
“When kissing comes in 'crazes’ it
becomes dangerous, and I have known
of some instances where it imparted
contagion. A young lady’s lips ought to
be as sacred as her character. Touch
not, taste not, ought to be the motto
of every pure girl. There are too many
wrecked homes already and too many
characterless dudes.
“Modesty and purity are the two
pillars that uphold woman's character.
You knock either of these pillars out
from under her character and down she
goes, and after the devil gets a wo
man down and puts his foot on her
neck once, she never gets up any
more.
“Our girls devote too much time to
beauty of the face and fashion of dress.
But after all beauty of character is
tbe thing, for by and. by the roses will
fade from the cheeks and the future
wl! fade from the eyes, but a beauti
ful character upheld by the pillars of
modesty and purity will shine on
when tbe stars have grown dim and
while the dateless calendar of tbe fu
ture is wearing away.”
There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all the other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a consti
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu
tional cure on the market, jit is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes
timonials. Address,
