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. For a month bofcre marriage and a mother attar death, a man regards his wife as an angel. 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? Toe Americus Times-Recorder notes 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. < p< ; 1 " Cate&wx Col*. 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. —London Hospital. 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.
