Official Paper of the Ordinary
of Spalding county and the City
of firlff In.
Tbe Fourth of July is »t band, but
this year tbo country will spend more
money for bardtack than for crackers
says tbe Boston Transcript.
Tbe people of Santiago complain
tbat it is not shot and shell that
Sampson is throwing into the .city.
They cry that be is heaving earth
quakes at them. Those dynamite
shells from the Vesuvius must bsve
landed. „
With Joe Wheeler in tbe saddle and
in the enemy's country there io bound
to be fighting, fighting, fighting, until
the enemy yields or is destroyed. Any
other method is entirely foreign to tbe
make-up of “Fighting Joe.’’—Bioh*
mond Dispacb.
Speculators are buying up all tbe.
willow wood they can get. It is used
for making charcoal for powder and is
commanding good prices. It might
pay our farming friends who have
willow on their lands to look into tbe
matter. Tbe wood is purchased by
shrewd buyers, who claim tbat it is to
be used for making kindling sticks,
but a cord of it is worth ten times as
much as either pine or hickory. In
times of peace its value amounts to
but little.
Marcoli's wireless telegraphy has
been so far perfected that ho claims to
be able to send signals from ship to
ship, or between ship and shore, at a
distance of at least twelve miles, says
an exchange. It appears to be belter
adapted to service at sea than on land,
and this, if confirmed, will be one of
its chief merits, as it will enable ships
to communicate with a telegraph sta
tion while lying off tbe beach, and also
to locate the land or each other in a
fog, as tbe apparatus can be sent to
give warning or coming within range
of another instrument. II the device
fulfills all that is claimed for it, it will
be of great value in war, and still
greater in peace.
Tbe Sues canal is eighty seven miles
long. It is a tide-water canal, without
locks. It is lighted at night by elec
tricity, and can be navigated by ships
drawing twenty-six feet. The speed of
vessels going through tbe canal is lim.
Red to six miles an hour, though a
higher speed is permitted in tbe lakes
which form a part of the connection
between seas. The average time of
passage io from sixteen to twenty
hours. Admiral Camara’s squadron
will probably move at the slower rate
of speed. After the Spanish fleet shall
have emerged from tbe canal it will
still be two hundred miles further from
Manila than the distance from San
Franeisco to Manila.
• The probable cost of the war is now
estimated at not less than $600,000,000,
Senator Hale thinks it will be from
$700,000,000 to $800,000,000. It takes
$2,000,000 a day for present war ex*
penses. When tbe war shall have
ended we cannot expect indemnifica
tion for our expenditure in any other
shape than by tbe cession of conquered
territory. Tbe islands we shall have
on our bands may be worth their cost.
But they will be a source of increased
expenditure tether than a source of
revenue. To govern them and put I
ourselves in a position to subdue, pro*
tect and defend them will add millions
of dollars to our budget of annual
outlay.’ Ao a consequence, the war
taxes which the government is just
beginning to collect are likely te con*
tinuefor lifetime.—Philadelphia Re

Hod. Theodore Boosevelt is one
“jingo” who baa proved himself to be
made out of tbe right sort of material,
says tbe Valdosta Timos. Ho advo
cated war against Spain from tbe be
ginning, but based bis advocacy upon
higher grounds than have those “jin
goes,” who have wanted a scrap with
some foreign power for years with, or
without reason. When war was de
clared Roosevelt gave up a fat office in
tbe war department and organised a
cavalry regiment of ’rough riders. ’
When tbo shores of Cuba were reached
the other day Roosevelt and bio men
wore tbe first to lend, and in tbo first
engagement with tbe Spaniards they
were io tbe thickest of tbe fight, a
number ol them being killed. There
is a dash and gallantry about Roose
velt tbat has made bis “rough riders”
fsmous and they will be watched
eagerly as tbe war upon the island
progresses.
That Nutmeg Story.
At the recent banquet of the New Haven
chamber of bommeree Governor Cooke de
nted the old story that Connecticut ones
flooded the market with wooden nutmegs.
“If we are not mistaken,” says the New
Haven Register, “this is the first time any
official attempt has been made to relieve
the state of this undesirable reputation,
and if it is properly followed up, will
doubtless assume tbe proportions of a
public service. We must confess that un
til now we had never regarded the tradi
tion other than a fiction. The humor of it
has appealed to us, and as we have imag
ined our ancestors busily employed
throughout the day, fashioning out of the
hearts of old oaks counterfeit nutmegs, it
has seemed that their hard, severe life
must have had a lot of unsuspected humor
in it. ”
As Usual.
jge had been particularly obstreperous
that day, and being at all times a particu
larly obstreperous little boy it meant more
than it did where ordinary individuals are
concerned. “Now, Beggy,” said his moth
er at bedtime, “I’m going to have visitors
tomorrow, and if you’re going to act like
this we might just as well give it up first
as last. Won’t you try to do better, dear?
Do tor once behave yourself and be a dear,
sweet, good little boy. Be courteous and
respectful and considerate, and”— “I
know,” be interrupted sympathetically,
“just like I always act. ’’—New York Sun.

thinking of “settling down” instead just

They will do well to examine our superb
