PRIVATE FRANK SHOCKLEY
Made a Reputation Before Coming to
Griffin With the Volunteers-
One wtek ago last Bunday Officer
Gordon, while attempting to arrest
Frank Shockley, a private at Camp
Northen, was forced to use Ins club on
the obstreperous man.
This incensed ihe officers at the
camp and they swore out warrants
against Gordon for carrying concealed
weapons, and assault and battery, end
he Was bound over to the City court
which meets next Monday. ■
The language Shockley used and his
actions at the time of bis arrest,robbed
him of all sympathy from those ac
quainted with the facte and proved
him to be a tough customer. a.
Those unfamiliar with the facte
have condemned Officer Gordon, and
to show up the true character of the
man with whom he was dealing, Gor
don sent an attorney to Atlanta to
look up Shockley’s record, which be
made while living in that city a few
years, and secured the following ..from
the court records:
THE STATE VS. FRANK SHOCKLEY.

Atlanta.—Larceny from the House,

ilege to pay said fine and costs and be dis

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 4, 1898,
BCHLRY SENDS REPuRT
Says Attack Was to Locate Batteries
of the Harbor
Washington, June 3 —Commodore
Schley in forwarding lo the nsvy de
partment an account of his reoent at
tack on Santiago aaya that his at
tack was made for the purpose of de
veloping the enemy’s position, to lo
cate their batteries, etc.
In that respect it wae entirely suc
cessful, and be accomplished what bo
set out to do None of his vessels were
touched by the enetny’a volleys and
there were no casualties or mishaps on
his vessels. He said he has no reason
able doubt that Genera's fleet is in
side tbe harbor of Santiago. ,
Tbe Spaniards have the harbor for
tified very carefully and well, and have
a number of modern guns. They use
smokeless powder which renders the ’
locating of the batteries very difficult.
■ Chairman Cannon, of the approprh
ations committee, stated on the floor
of the house yesterday that there was
$100,000,000 of the money called for
by tbe urgent deficiency bill absolute
ly necessary to be put in the bands of
an official within a day or two for im
mediate action.
The correspondent of the Gaulois at
Madrid telegraphs from there saying
he has learned from the highest au
thority that Admiral Cervera has
never been in the harbor of Santiago
de Cuba, and that tbe Spanish ships
there belong to Admiral Villatnil’s
torpedo squadron.
It appears that from information
gathered by tbe Gaulois’ conespond
ent that Admiral Cervera after leaving
tbe Cape Verde Islands, manoeuvered
so as to deceive the Americans and
then started at full speed for tbe Phil
ippine Islands, where the fleet is to ar
rive on Saturday or Sunday.
His orders are to destroy. Admiral
Dewey’s fleet and then intercept or
destroy or capture tbe American trans*
ports on their way to tbe Philippine
islands.from San Francisco.
COLOR IN FLAGS.
Bed Predominates Largely In the Stand
ards of the Chief Nations.
Though the policy of military au
thorities in using less glaring colors in
uniforms has been very marked of late
years red remains the most popular col
or sor z national standards. Os 25 coun
tries 19 have flags with red in them,
the list including the United States,
England, France, Germany, Austria,
Italy, Spain, Denmark, Belgium, Swe
den, Switzerland, Turkey, Mexico,
Chile, Portugal, Venezuela and Cuba.
The countries which have blue as an
element of their flags are the United
States, Russia, France, England, Hol
land, Ecuador, Sweden, Chile, Ven
ezuela, Portugal and Cuba. Three coun
tries have black as one of the elements
of their flags, Germany, Belgium and
China, but Germany is the only one of
three which has black and white to
gether. 1
There are five countries (excluding
from consideration Ireland, the familiar
flag of which is not officially recognized
among the national standards) which
have green as a color; Brazil, the flag
of which is green chiefly ; Mexico,
Egypt, Italy and Persia. There are nine
countries in which the flag is partly of
yellow. These countries are Austria,
Spain, Belgium, Egypt, Sweden, China,
Persia, 'Rraril and Venezuela. Countries
with flags partly white are the United
States, France, Germany, Russia, Aus
tria and Italy, six of the seven chief
powers.
There is no white in the national
standard of England, but the British
, naval flag has a white background.
Other countries having white in their
flags are Switzerland, Turkey, Persia,
■ Japan, Mexico, Holland, Denmark, Por
i tugal, Cuba, Chile tad Ecuador, the
flag of which is nearer white than any
other country, being made up of two
parallel white columns, between which
is a column of blue, upon which are
white stars. —New York' Sun.

I Made Sure of It.
Seme time ago I was at a small vil
lagwin Somersetshire fitting up a steam
dairy.
An is well known, water is a most
esamitlal thing in a dairy. So, being
unable to obtain a sufficient supply from
a will already sunk, it was suggested
to o|en a disused well near and try the
water there.
Instructions were given to the men to
be ireful on opening the well, as it
might be unsafe to descend on account
of foul air.
Tfeey were told to light a candle and
let ft down, and if it continued to burn
thsg*. would then know that there was
no danger in descending.
On the following day, on asking if it
was safe to go down, one of the men
replied: “Yes, that’s safe enough. I
took the candle down with me, and it
burnt beautifully. ” —London Globe.

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and tbe satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company—
