No. 158. another excursion The Central Brought to Experiment a Thousand Visitors Yesterday- The officers of the Central railroad are surely in earnest about desiring farmers on its line seeing 'he improv ed and advanced methods of farming, horticulturing and dairying, as taught and practiced on the Georgia experi mental farm. Yesterday a train load of farmers, their wives and daughters, living be , tween Griffin and Atlanta, came down to the Station, where they spent -the day inspecting and discussing various topics of interest. There is no doubt as to the wisdom in this liberality of the Central rail road, in thus seeking to create and build up an interest in truck farming, fruit growing and dairying. There is no section of tbe state where the lands are better adapted to the growth of berries and fruits of all kind than the lands lying between Griffin and Atlanta. Besides, there is uo soil dr climate better adapted to the growth of vegetables of all kinds than that alluded to. Os course vegoiables could not be sent into the Atlanta market from this section as early as from Southern Georgia and Florida, but those pro duced here are of such superior quality that when they did reach the market they would crowd out all competition from other sections south of this point. The same may be said of the dairy ing business. The farmers greatest obstacle to making dairying profitable on any farm in this section is finding a market for his milk and butter. It is to provide a daily and sure market for all such truck gardens, or chards, dairy farms, .berry patches, etc , the CentraUis now arranging. This road already runs a “milk train’’ from Jonesboro to Atlanta every morning, and the experiment has been marked with such unexpected success as to induce the road to extend the advantages of this train to Griffin and all intermediate points, if desirable. Atlanta spends about $3,000,000 an nually for vegetables, butler, milk, eggs and chickens, most of which are brought from Tennessee, several hun dred miles distant, while every dollar’s worth of which could be produced up on the immediate line of the Central between Griffin and Atlanta, and be sides, done by the mothers and daugh ters of the country farmer. The Central is certainly entitled to much credit for the interest it is man ifesting on these important branches of industry, and it is hoped the same will not be allowed to go to waste. The practice of Atlanta having to send hundreds of mFles away, and into other states, for such articles as can be raised so conveniently, and should be more economically produced at home, should cease to be a necessity in the future. In speaking upon these matters yesterday Dr. Gray, of Sunny Side, said to the Call that he had four acres in stra that had paid him an average of SIOO per acre for several years and would continue to do so. He said further that any man of ordinary industry could take half a dozen Jer sey cows, four 150 egg incubators and teu acres of land for a truck garden, and he would clear more money, from individual efforts, every year, than the largest farmer io Spalding county could do raising cotton. By the establishment ol this milk, vegetable and fruit train, bj the Cen tral, a mau that can’t make money out of such industries,should be pitied. He should cease trying to do good and.run for some office and stop work ~ altogether. The visitors on the excursion train yesterday, spent the day most pleas antly at the Station and in Griffin, and apparently were ranch interested in the horticultural and dairying depart ments of the Station. 1100 Be ward, SIOO- The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dread disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is tne only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the founda tion of the disease, and giving, the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials, F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O. Sold by druggists, 75c. Hall’s Family Pills are the best. WAR TALK. The Cloud* Thicken and Lowers Over America and Spain- No theme today is of moie interest in America than the probable waj with Spain. The senate yesterday passed the house bill appropriating $50,000,000 to be spent at-once for defending our ports, and work is progressing rapidly in all the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The largest and most powerful guns made are being placed at most im portant points. The declaration in Washington yes terday, given out ns official,was “peace in Cuba or war with Spain ” If this is to bo the course of the ad ministration war is sure to come, and that very soon. Both governments are actively en gaged in purchasing and equipping war vessels. Another of our warships, the Mont gomery,was anchored in Cuban waters yesterday. The report was spread in Washing ton yesterday afternoon that the court of inquiry will report that the Maine was blown up by design apd that the Spanish authorities are responsible for it. There has not been a reasonable ground for hope for several days past that a resort to arms could be averted, but everything has been focusing up on that only alternative. An Important Trial- The case of A. J. Crawford vs. the Soutberfi Railway was called in the city court yesterday morning. The defendant, the railroad compa ny, filed a demurrer to the suit on many grounds, principally that no good cause of action was alleged in the petition. The court sustained the demurrer, after elaborate argument-, and the case goes to the supreme court on a bill of exceptions. The case was a suit, for damages for the killing by the railroad of little Ju lia Crawford, on the railroad, near the factory, last year, facts of which were published.. The court decided that under the law the child was a trespasser, and the railroad not liable for the death—there being no allegation that the engineer was criminally negligent after the child was discovered to be on the track. Senator Battle, of Columbus, and J. D Boyd, Jr., represented the railroad, and H C. Peeples, of Atlanta, and Judge R T. Daniel the defendant. At the Olympic Friday Night. Augi.stin Daly’s comedy “A Night Off” which will be presented at the Olympic Theatre on Friday night, March 11, is the most successful com edy that has ever been produced at Mr Daly’s Theatre in New York. The incidents, situations, and dialogue are perfectly natural yet withal they hap pen in such a ludicrous way that you are simply convulsed with laughter from the beginning to the end Noth ing of the horseplay order is ever pre* seated at Mr. Daly’s theatre—clean cut situations, and dialogue is adopted to amuse in all cases, which is responsi ble for the great success of all of Mr. Daly’s plays. Secure your seats while you can. Small Fire Yesterday- About 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon the roof of the two-story building, on Eighth street, next door to the resi dence of J. G Rhea, was discovered oq fire. Stonewall hose wagon was soon upon the ground, and by the prompt and efficient handling of a chemical apparatus in the hands of R. H. Drake, the flames were soon extin guished with but slight damage to the roof.

FKAHCE WILL HELP SPAIH. European Countries Aroused Oyer the Situation-Most Serious View u Taken- A copyrighted cablegram from Lon don to the New York Evening Post •«y: - ‘ ‘ jr, |> * “Special inquiries iu official and financial circles today show that many grave international difficulties are pending in China, Japan, West Africa, the Nile and elsewhere, the most seri ous view being taken of the American- Spanish tension. “At the United States and Spanish embassies the utmost reticence, of course, is observed. They pretend to know nothing and it is noteworthy in view of reports that the Armstrongs have sold cruisers to Spain, that the Armstrong’s board has given express direction that no questions are to be answered regarding tbe dealing with British or foreign governments. “Varying , conclusions are drawn from this refusal to confirm the denial of this Spanish purchase from tbe Armstrongs. What cannot be denied is the Armstrongs have bad relations with Spain since 1886, have built sev eral cruisers to Spain’s order and now have vessels on the stock that could be sold if the money were forthcoming.” French money helping Spain?” Two of tbe first financial bouses ware asked this question this afternoon - “Nothing of the kind has been defin itely arranged and obviously, seeing tbe large French financial interests in Spain, French financiers will be most anxious to keep Spain from war; but it is equally certain that if Spain did decide that war, however desperate, was the only escape from the growing financial trouble at home, Paris,and not London would be tbe quarter whence money would be sought and beyond doubt obtained. As yet, how ever, nothing has been definitely set* tied ” The fact probably is that Spain is anxious to buy ships and thaixba: Arms! rungs are ready to sell if they can see the money. The French finan ciers are not eager to advance the necessary money as long as by bolding back they can assist tbe cause of peace. Armstrong cruisers have the reputa tion in naval circles here of being the best armed and protected cruisers in the world. VAUGHN VOICINGS. Vaughn, Ga., March 8,1898. F. J. Freeman and A. F.
