caid block, at W o’clock, Wednesday
morning the 23d inst, to discuss and ar
range preliminaries for attending tbe re

of the South soon to be bejd in Atlanta.
■ • i
It is desired that every veteran in
Spalding county so arrange to attend this
grand reunion, and we should endeavor
4 to go in a body.
By order of W. R. Hanlbitkb,
J. P. Sawtrll, Commander.
Secretary.

organised in Savannah. Pope Barrow

Hon. J. E Gardner, of Milner, has
announced for tbe senate, to represent
Pike, Monroe and Bibb in the upper
branch of the legislature.
Mrs. Nobles, of Twiggs county, the
woman who conspired with a negro
man to murder her busband, is to be
hung Friday next,provided lbw pardon
board does not interfere.
A troop of cavalry composed entire*
ly of women is a Colorado war possi
bility. A Mrs. Shute has notified tbe
governor that it is her intention to
form such a troop; and sbe proposes
to live up to ber name if Uncle Sam
and the Don come to blows.
Tbe Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Record learns that it has
been proposed (by whom he does not
say) to enlist two regiments of negro
troops for tbe Cuban service, “as men
of that race can endure the climate of
tropics much better than whites, par
ticularly those who have been brought
up in the south.” There are already
two colored regiments in the United
States. Probably they would like to
make a campaign in Cuba.
A telegram from Savannah announ
ces that Grand Chancellor Charles R
Warren, of the Knights of Pythias,will
resign bis office in a short time. It is
said this couclusiou was reached at the
recent meeting at Fi/xgerald, when
tbe charges against the Grand Master
were withdrawn If Mr. Warren re
signs, Deputy Grand Chancellor Algee
will be at tbe head of the order until
tbe grand lodge meeting io Augusta
in May. Mr. Algee will probably be
elected grand master at tbe May meet
ing
The familiar rule that leap year is
every calendar year with a number di
visible by four will be broken in 1900,
which fact need not be regarded as an
indication that even than it will be
time for a change. This rule of the al
manac may account for tbe proverbial
activity of tbe n*w woman at the close
of every century. Then there is no
leap year for eight years. February,
1900, will have but 28 days, the extra
day not appearing from 1896 to 1904.
Centenary years are not leap years.
That rnle will be broken io the year
2000, when tbe interruption may be ,
regarded as an indication that it is
time for a change. Centenary years I
divisible by 400 are leap years, conse
quently there were 29 days in Febru
ary, 2000, and again io 2400. The ob- 1
ject of this rule is to make tbe calen
dar year coincide with tbe solar year. ,

Bmokeless Powder in W»x-
It would take nearly 15,000,000 to
pay for enough smokekwe powder to
fit out ail our warships. Therefore this,
will scarcely be attempted now.
Al present two private concerns are ;
making 100,000 pounds of smokeless ‘
powder each under tbe formula of the
ordnance bureau for delivery to the (
ships on the Atlantic and Pacific eta- (
lions. The torpedo station at Newport 4
could not torn the powder out as fast <
as it was needed.
Thia powdsr, according to the offi- 1
cial report, results from the “develop- 1
ment of a special variety of nitrocellu
lose, soluble in either alcohol, forming (
a colloid of extreme toughness, that t
burns progressively in a very regular
manner and which may be converted
directly into smokeless powder,decom
posing wholly into gaseous products
and possessing a high ballistic efficien
cy ” The formula is secret.
The advantages of all smokeless
powders are manifold. Their compar
ative smokeleMuesa and noiseleesneee
are not their chief metals They are
almost entirely safe to handle, because
they will not explode unless confined
and set off with a strong primer If
ignited, they would burn slowly They |
do not foul the barrel of a
gun, and if the primer is strong
enough they are sure to “go off." They
can be varied so as to be slow or quick
burning.
The use of the smokeless powder,
which is now for the first time adopted
officially for the general use of the
navy, is going to make a great diffet
ence in the conditions of the next sea
fight In our last war ships bad to
fight blind after the first five minutes
of firing because the smoke obscured
the enemy. This was very dangerous
in maneuvering, and in great naval
battles sister ships sometimes ran each
other down cr fired on each other. The
adtttiral had great difficulty communi
cating orders to the ships of the flret
and sometimes the smoke was so dense
that men at tbe guns could not see
each other, and serious mistakes
occurred. With the new powder
fighting will be done in plain view,
and it is probable the fleet drillhook
will have to be overhauled soon to
make allowance for the ease with
which signals can be used.
Oar Foreign Neighbor*.
Reports as to the intentions of lot*
eign government* may be taken under
reservation st this time. The proba
bilities are that every ‘European gov*
ernment will look strictly after number
one when the trouble begins jnd will
hesitate about taking sides lest it be
drawn into conflict with other govern
ments than the one against which it
takes position at tbe start. Much will
depend on tbe manner in which tbe
war begins—if there is to be war—and
which side apparently baa the adyans
tage of moral right in ths first move
ment It is a game of skill in which
much depends on the opening move.
Cool judgment, as well as boldness, is
required if the game is to be won with
out more sacrifice than is necessary to
victory.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
