Official Paper of file Ordinary
of Spalding county and Die City
of Griffin.
The Texas wasn't much on parade
aid bad a bsbit of getting aground
rather often for a well behaved ahip,
but the way she lands her shells and
gets in her work shows that she can
hit something besides the ground.
Those rough riders got n terrible
baptism of blood in their first fight,
but it will not in the least check their
daring and enthusiasm. Indeed, it
will make them fight all the harder.
They have now eomelbing else besides
the Maine to remember, and they will
never forget it.
A Kansaa paper explains why a loco
motive is like a woman, and is called
‘•she.’’ “They wear a jacket, an apron,
have shoes, hose, and drag a train be*
hind them; thjy have a lap, need
guides, ride wheels, will not turn out
tor pedestrian*, sometimes foams and
vefjtee to work . they attract the men,
sometimes act very contrary, and it
always takes a man to manage them.”
The Spanish are adopting the
guerilla warfare on our men, which is
likely to cause us much .trouble. But
if the Cubans have anything like the
number of soldiers they are accredited
with II ought not take Uncle Sam long
f iu connection with them to do up the
Spaniards The United States should
pursue a vigorous, aggressive cam
paign and let the enemy know we
moan business.
The South should manufacture a
large part of her cotton product and
get the benefit of the great profit
which the northen manufacturers re*
ceive on the manufactured goods.
The present value of a bale of middling
cotton in the South is only S3O, yet
the American Ginner says a bale of
cotton manufactured in standard calico
is worth $228, or in French organdie
is worth $5,778
The Florida lightning eeeme to be
partisan to the cause of Spain Only
a week ago near Jacksonville the pri
vate secretary of Gen. Lee was killed
by a stroke of lightning, and at
Tampa a day or two ago a soldier wss
killed and a number of others hurt by
lightning. The dons will probably
now add lightning to yellow fever and
hurricanes in the list of providential
causes which they are depending upon
to aid them tn their fight with the
Americana
Years and years ago Joe Blackburn,
of Kentucky, then a member of the
house of representatives, voted to seat
William McKinley as thb representa
tive of an Ohio district. The only
other democrat who voted with him
was Frank Hurd It is said at Wash
ington that the president has never
forgotten Mr. Blackburn’s vote, and
that now be is contemplating proving
to the Kentuckian his appreciation by
giving him an appointment as briga
dier general. That is the sentimental
side of the story. The probabilities
are that if Mr. Blackburn gets an ap
pointment, and his chances are said to
be good, it will be because he demon
strated in the civil war that he is a
good soldier.—Savannah News.
The horror expressed by the senate

upon that poor book concern and
jumped on it for committing so out

Trifle with tbs honor of the senate!
This is certainly a new deal since
sugar trust days. When a tariff bill is

Santiago's Strategic Value.
Borne of the newspapers which have
been endeavoring to direct the war
against Spain have been trying to
make it appear that a great mistake is
being made in attacking Santiago—
that lhe place is of Hille Os no import
ance and that nothing would be gained
by capturing it
The New York Herald takes a dif
ferent view. It says that alter Santia
go is taken, Gen. Shafter’s army, by a
march of sixty miles, could reach a
fine harbor on the northern coast—ro
harbor that is capable of accommodat
ing vessel* of lhe deepest draught acd
which is between 200 and 300 miles
nearer Key West than Santiago is.
An harbor of that sort on the north,
ern coast of Cuba would be of very
gre.it advantage „
ft is apparent that when the hurri
cane season begines our ships on the
coau of Cuba wiil greatly need a good
harbor; besides it may not bfi consid
ered advisable to attack Havana from
the sea. In that eventlhe harbor on
the northern coast could be used as a
basis of operations against not only all
parts of Eastern anil Middle Cuba,
but also against Havant itself.
No doubt the whole situation has
been pretty thoroughly considerd by
these who are directing the campaign
against Cuba, and ' the C 'nclu.ti n
reached that the wisestfLing to do at
this lime is to capture Santiago. In
fact, it ts absolutely necessary that
Admiral Ceryera’s squadron shall be
captured or destroyed. II that rquad
ron should succeed in getting to eea
again our difficulties in operating
against Cuba would be greatly ir«
creased. The last cruisers of the
squadron could be kept hovering
abound the Cuban coast —that is, if
they could get coal —and thus make it
very dangerous for us to send trans
ports loaded with troops to any point
io Cuba.
While we should like to see Havana
attacked and captured it is probable
that the plan that has been adopted
for driving lhe Spaniards out of Cuba
is lhe better one. Although Havana
is the stronghold of the Spanish power
in Cuba- the capture of that city would
not necessarily be followed by the de
parture of the Spaniards, from that
island.—Savannah News.
