Every confederate veteran in Spalding county is earnestly requested to meet in Griffin, in the city council chamber, Kin caid block, at W o’clock, Wednesday morning the 23d inst, to discuss and ar range preliminaries for attending tbe re union ot tbe United Confederate veterans 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. The Dawson News says : Berner is as strong in thia section as Atkioaou* and Candler is as strong as both of the«>. A club of 500 Candler men lias been organised in Savannah. Pope Barrow is president. Candler will carry Cha tham with a whoop. iw ■II i —■« 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is said this couclusiou was reached at the recent meeting at Fi/xgerald, when tbe charges against the Grand Master were withdrawn If Mr.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. , CLLSTOIUJk. a* ba- . . /9 _ . slaito wriwa 1 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. Thrash’s Lung Restorer and Con sumptive Cwa.
