I DATE BECEIVED
I An Interesting Se««ion of tbe Spald-
I in? County Democratic Execu
tive Committee-
The demooratio executive commit
tee met in th# house at noon
yesterday to consolidate the voles and
declare the results in Thursday’s pri
mary
The meeting was very harmonious
until the returns from Qrrs district
were read, when Mr. D L Patrick
arose and stated that populists and re
. publicans had been allowed to vote in
Ibis district. This was contrary to
tbe resolutions of the committee,
which stated that only known white
democrats should be permitted to vote
in the primary, and. he moved the
votes referred to be thrown out
This brought severalmemberstotbeir
feet at once and a heated discussion
. followed. Col. J„ J. Fly nt finally se
cured the attention of the chair and
Hated that while he was not a mem
ber of the executive committee,
would like lb make a few remarks. He
opposed the motion most vigorously
I and pronounced such proceedings un
just, without allowing the voters to be
present and giving them a hearing
He became personal tn his remarks
and the chair called him down and
proceeded to investigate the charges
made by Mr. Patrick.
On motion of L. Cleveland, Mr.
Patrick was asked to give the names
ol the parties voting in that district
who were not entitled to do so. Those
named were J. O Tyler, Paul Flynt
and Wm. Waddell.
H. E. WiWlams, one of (he mana
gers, was called before the committee
and asked if be considered Mr. Tyler
a democrat and entitled to vote in
their primaries. Hesaid Mr. Tyler had
affiliated with the populists but be
fore voting Thursday said he wished
to return to the democratic fold and
would support the nominees at the
general election. -Upon this assertion
Mr. Williamson said he was allowed
to vote.
Col. Cleveland said tbit Mr Tyler
had openly proclaimed himself a dem
ocrat and il his vote was thrown out
it would be a reflection upon the gen
tleman and the managers of the polls
—he was opposed to any such action.
W. D. Davie was in favor ot allow
ing only known white democrats to
vote. Such was the resolution passed
by tbe committee, and he thought if
they failed to stick to their resolutions
there was no use is passing them;
D. Glessner thought the proper time
for populists to show their desire to
return to tbe democratic ranks" was
daring * general election when they
could vote against populists, and not
io democratic primaries
On motion of Col. Cleveland, the
votes of Messrs. Tyler and Flynt were
allowed to remain.
Mr. Waddell’s vole was ordered
stricken out, as he admitted he was a
republican in national elections, al
though he voted with democrats in
state and county elections. The com
mittee then revised the returns from
Oirs district and proceeded with the
consolidation. Tbe following was de
clared to be the result and the parties
receiving majorities were declared tbe

More Than Her Share.
It looks to us as il Georgia were
doing more than her share in provid
ing volunteers for the army and navy.
Under the first call she promptly fur
nished tbe tvo of infantry
for which she was asked, and also a
company of artillery. Under tbe
second cal! fur volunteers she will fur
nish another regiment of infantry.
But the foregoing are not all she will
furnish. A very laige part of Col*
Elay’a immune regiment is composed
of Georgians and there are several
companies of negro militia which will
be mustered into the service very soon,
in all probability. In all, Georgia wifi,
by tbe time that full response is made
to the second call, have furnished fully
a regiment more tbau has been requir
ed of her. And it is worthy of notice
that no town in the state, in propor
tion to its size, has furnished so many
volunteers as Savannah, And we are
sure that the soldiers of no other town
in any port of the country will give *
better account of themselves than
those of this city. ..
We havent furnished any volun
teers for the navy yet, but we are
going to When a call is made for.
our naval mililia, which will be very
soon, there will be a prompt response.
With tbe naval militia Savannah will
furnish pretty nearly, if not quite, a
thousand men to the army and navy.

The Expenses of Imperialism.
Imperialism will be a bit expensive.
The extinguishment of tbe Spanish
title in tbe Philippines will cost in ini
tialexpenses net less lhan$100,000,000;
Cuba and Puerto Rico will easily add
$100,000,000 more in the shape of ima
mediate expenditure, and the out
standing debt of Hawaii to be a r sumed
will be $4,000,000. To this must be
added $130,000,000 for digging tbe
Nicaraguan canal in order to make
our Pacific coast possessions accessible
and defensible. Bat this preliminary
cost will be as a flea bite to tbe cost of
maintenance. We shall get our new
islands in a very run-down and
unprosperous condition. We shall
have to bnild a navy to correspond
with our insular aggrandisement. We
shall have added to our holdings.an
enormity of unfortified coastline We
shall have to build forts and maintain
standing armies to hold insurrection
ary populations inorder. Imperalism
is grand. It has a swelling and ma
jestic sound. But it is costly.—Phila

DECISIVE BATTLE SOON.
AH AMERICAS’ KILLED OH THE
WARSHIP TEXAS.
General Shafter Marching on Toward
Santiago, Driving the Spaniards
Before Him—Hobson Safe.
Washington, Jane 24 The war
department expects the Americans
and Spaniards to have a decisive bat
tle within the next few hours, which
they confidently expect will result in
the downfall of Santiago
The American army is now within
seven miles of Morro castle, and the
Spaniards are on tbe retreat toward
Santiago-
One or two small fights have occur
red, in which two Cubans were killed
aud several wounded.
Although no dispatches have been
received from General Shafter today
ia regard to the skirmishes reported
via Madrid, Adjutant General Corbin
has been reading . press . dispatches
and says it is his opinion that a battle
between th# opposing forces could not
be averted much lenger.
He is not worried over having heard
nothing from General Shafter, who
has gone with tbe army toward Santi
ago and would not go back te the
cable office to send dispatches.
While shelling the batteries of San
tiago last Wednesday the battleship
Texas was struck by a six inch shell,
which killed F. O. Blakely and wound
ed eight others.
Tbe Texas was shelling the woods
on tbe west of tbe entrance of Santia*
go harbor, where the Spanish battery
on the hill opened fire on the war
ship and a lively exchange of shots
was kept up for three hours
Tbe shot es tbe Spaniards went wild
but tbe last shell struck the Texas
above the gun deck and exploded.
The state department today received
the following cablegram from Rear
-Admiral Sampson : "From a flag of
truce I learned today that Lieut. Hob
son and bls companions are all well.
They are confined in tbe city of Saa
tiago, four miles from Morro?’

of the comparative pro

will probably never be determined.
Grqat officers on the centinent keej
their knowledge on that -subject rigor
ously as a professional secret and as
sume as a certainty that all soldiers are
brave. They know very well, however
that they are not, and when confiden
tial will admit, as Marshal von Moltke
once did in public, that with a great
number it takes discipline, and severe
discipline, too, toindwee them to face
shells unshrinkingly. American qfficen
have been known to acknowledge that
of their men, who are as brave as any
in the world, 20 per cent would run
• away if they could, and in every army,
even ours, which a man enters only ot
free will, there is a certain proportion
who literally cannet overcome theii
fears. They are stricken with a sorj; ol
paralysis. The proportion is protfably
apt high in any army, the majority, £l
in health, being able to do their duty
and haying, intense motives to do itabui
neither is the proportion high of thorn
who literally feel no fear.—Londbs

uniforms has been very marked of late
years-red remains the moot popular col

England, France, Germany, Austria,
Italy; Spain, Denmark, Belgium, Swe

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, Sw&en, Chile, Ven

tries have black as .one dl the elements
of their flags, Germany, Belgium and
China, but Germany is the only one of
three which has black and white to
gether.
TBero are five countries (excluding
from consideration Ireland, the familiar

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 Sybup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the

assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
