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 cord. ’ SI .

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.
