•L,_ THE MORNING CALL. r ol, IX. No. 250. I THE vote consolidated. I the total vote each cawdi- 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 nominees: For Chief Justice Supreme Court, T. J. Simmons...... 958 Associate Justice Supreme Court.

Tbe committee then proceeded to elect delegates to the judicial conven tion which meets io Atlanta on July 20Ji. ’ Cols J. D. Boyd and L Cleve land were nominated for delegates and Col. J. M. Kimbrough and J. D. Wil liams, alternates. There being no other nominations, these gentlemen were unanimously elected. Col. W. E. H. Searcy, Jr., and 8. B. Sawtell were elected delegates to the senatorial convention for the 26th senatorial district, which meets in Fayetteville. Tbe committee then adjourned to meet again on Saturday, July 2nd, when they will turn over the affairs of tbe party to their successors 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. —Savannah News. 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 delphia Record. The Modern Beauty Thrives on good food and sunshine, with plenty of exercise in the open air.

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?’ Military Course*. of the comparative pro pertidn of really brave meaTia any &pny 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 Spectator.
