Attention Veterans.
Every confederate veteran in Spalding
county is earnestly requested to meet in
Griffin, in the city council chamber, Kin
caid block, at 10 o’clock, Wednesday
morning the 28d Inst, to discuss and ar
range preliminaries for attending the re-
Wnton of the United Confederate veteran*
of the Booth soon to be held in Atlanta.
It Is desired that every veteran in
Spalding county so arrange to attend this
grand reunion, and we should endeavor
to go in a body.
By order of W. R. Hanlritkr,
J, P. Sawtell, Commander.
Secretary.

Spain is scurrying around trying to
borrow money to buy warships, while
Uncle Ham simply draws a eight draft
for 150,000,000 on hie reserve fund,
and has plenty more left after it has
been paid.
Here is a nice little problem for some
arithmetic class, says the Macon News :
If 200,000 Spanish soldiers have been
unable, in three years’ time to conquer
1,500X100 Cubans, bow many of them
would it take to whip 72,000,000 Amer*
loans?

that Editor. Glesaoer is dead sure to
elect "hie man" this lime, as he has
olimlted upon each of the three guber
natorial band wagons successively
since the circus opened. And the
worst of these—Mrs. Myrick no doubt
thinks is Berner. —Macon News.
Within the course of a few mouths
an electric railway line will be in oper
ation between Chicago and Green Bay,
Wis., a distance of 201 miles The
line, which is now in operation for a
considerable distance, will parallel the
Milwaukee division of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railroad, with which it
will compete for business. It is said
that the electric road will put on a
_paeeepger rate of just about one-half
the fare charger! hy the steam road.
The steam road, however, will have
the advantage of making faster time.
Hundreds of millions of dollars have
been appropriated within the last week
or two for warships and war materials.
The United States have appropriated
$50,000,000 for national defenses,
Great Britain $120,000,000 for warships
and Russia $70,000,000 for the same
purpose. Il is elated that Germany in*
tends to spend $95,000,000 in building
warships this year France has al*
ready appropriated $6,250,000, and Ja«
pan about as much more. These enor
mous appropriations for warships indi
cate that the great powers are expect
ing war, and are preparing for it. They
do not know when it will come, nor
what will cause it, but they are confi
dent that it will not be delayed very
long-
Max Meyerhxrdt, of Rome, whose
name has been so prominent recently
on account of a letter he received from
Col. Candler which was published, was
in Atlanta Saturday and called upon
Col. Candler. He assured Col. Cand
ler that he was not a parly to its pub
lication to injure the Colonel’s claims
for the office of governor, as he was for
Candler above any announced candi
date, and had never said aught against
him, and besides he assured Col. Can<£
ler that Floyd county would send
Candler delegates to the state conven
tion. The Rome Tribune, that has
heretofore been lauding Meytejhardt
for furnishing it with the letter,
charges him with compromising him
self with Candler in their meeting
Saturday. The Tribune is to be pitied I
in its dilemma. <

It is act altogether nnsatlsfactary to
people who think that ccicnce and common
, sense should ran togetber, although no
doubt disconragtna to those who looked on
t the germ theory of disease as the opening
of a wmltarvrniiteiiriitu.’i. to find that after
all we can‘•catch cold.” Tbe groat dis
, everyth*! mortpf the febrile dteeas«>
from which we suffer are associated with
tbe growth within us of micro organisms
made many people for a time look some
what Rgeptteally nn ‘‘catching cold,” and
wo were told that when we felt shivery,
and then in a few hours found ourselves
sniffing and out of aorta, tbe chill to which
we attributed all tbe mischief was really
tbe first sign of our being ill Certain ex
periments, however, which have recently
te-en made tend to rehabilitate “cold” in
its position as a cause of disease, for they
have shown that exposure to cold lowers
the resistance of the body to infection, and,
what is more interesting etill, they have
made it clear that in regard to various
diseases which are known to be caused by
micro organisms, and especially in regard
to pneumonia, we may carry the organ
isms about with us and not suffer and yet
that exposure to cold inay at once enable
the microbes to take root.
Recent demonstrations of the presence
of the pneumococcus in the lungs of
heslthr animals, and tbe fact that expos
ing such animals to a thorough chill will
bring on pneumonia, is very suggestive
and makes it probable that in many of the
ailments which result from “catching
cold’’ a concurrent infection from without
is not necessary. The healthier and the
cleaner tbe man, both inside and out, the
more, no ddubt, will he be able to bear ex
posure without ill consequences, but for
those people Whose tissues arc already
charged with infective., micro organisms a •
“mere chill” may evidently set up disease.

a
A Bismarck Story.
Rudolph Lindau, in the Deutsche Revue,
tells some stories about Prince Bismarck
that have not been told in detail before.
In May, 1866, Bismarck, then only count,
was passipg through Un ter den Linden,
whoqbe heard behind him the report of a
revolver. He turned quickly around and
saw a young man—Ferdinand Blind it
was—aiming at him with tbe still smok
ing pistol. Bismarck ran toward the man
and seized the hand in which he held the
revolver, and with the other hand he
grasped tbe assassin’s throat. 'The latter,
however, had time to slip bis pistol into
the othdr hand and shot three times in
quick succession. Bismarck felt himself
woHnded in the shoulder and injured in
ope of bli ribs, but ho held his assailant
fast until several soldiers ran up and se
cured him. Then Bismarck walked quick
ly to his house, which bo readbed long be
fore any report of tbe affair got there.
The countess, it appeared, had several
callers when her busband camo in. He
greeted them all pleasantly and asked to
be excused for a few minutes on account
of a pressing engagement Thereupon ho
retired to the next room and rapidly wrote
out an account of the attempt on his life,
which ho sent to tbe king. Thon, return
ing to tbe drawing room, he joked in his
usual way about bis unpunctuality at
luncheon and ate with a good appetite.
When the meal was finished, he went to
the countess, kissed her, wished her
“mahlzeit” in the old German way and
added, “You sec that I am quite well,
don’t you?” She stared at him, where
upon he added: “Yes, you mustn’t be
anxious, my child. Somebody has shot at
me, but it is nothing, as you sec.”
Tbo Sagacious Berffull.
Lying up close against the end of an
overhanging stone on the bottom of one of
the tanks at the aquarium was an oel
about 15 inches in length. About six or
eight inches of the eel's tail projected clear
of tbo stone. Swimming about in the
same tank there was a bergall about 6
inches in length, which presently took a
notion that it would like to lie in there
snug against the rock and tbe overhanging
projection, and it came up at the tail end
of the eel and tried to wedge itself in be
tween tbe eel and the rock—that is, to
crowd the eel away and take its place.
But the bergall couldn’t do that; there
is a good deal of strength in an eel, and
this eel held its place firmly. Tbe bergall
hauled off a little distance and headed for
the point where the rock and the side of
tbe eel met and made for it under full
steam, but with the same result; it
couldn’t budge the eel, which still clung
closely to the rock. Then tbo bergall back
ed off again and tried a change of tactics.
The eel's head was around on the other
side of the rook, where it couldn’t see
what was going on at the rear. Tbo ber
gall backed off and darted for the eel’s tail
and nipped it as hard as it could bite.
The eel started as though it had been
struck by lightning and slid around the
end of the rock and off to the other end of
the tank, cutting in the water as it went
letter B’s of 14 different sizes and styles,
while tbe bergall quickly took its place
under the overhanging rock.—New York
Sun.
The Horae Gets the Moat In Russia.
In Russia the wages of a horse are high
er than those of a man, and hence, of
course, very much higher than the wages
of women. Thus in the Nishni-Volga sec- I
tian we find the average pay of man and
buree to be about 72 cents per day, of man
alone 84 cents—that is, 88 cents for horse
and 84 cents for man. The women receive
from 10 to 90 cents. In the central agri
cultural region the average is: Horse, 23
cents; man, 20 cents; woman, 13 cents.
In the southern steppe: Horse, 36 cents;
man, 25 cents; woman, 16 cents.
This is an interesting commentary on
the standard of living of Russian agricul
tural laborers. Its meaning is simply
that human beings are cheaper there than
draft animals. In other words, it costs less
to keep them alive. In tbe southern steppe
five women can be employed more cheaply
than two horses. Is it difficult to imagine
the conditions of homo life, the dearth of
refining influences, the sodden, hopeless
stagnation that such a state of affairs re
flects? Is it any wonder that tbe products
es such a wage status as this are individual
degradation, social barrenness, meager
education, political despotism, religious
intolerance antigenerally a type of civiliza
tion scarcely above barbarism?—Gunton’s
Magazine.
