MAY GO TO PORTO RICO-
Third Georgia Regiment May Be
Sent There.
nt
The Atlanta Journal yesterday af
ternoon contained the following,which
will interest the boys who are now be
ing mustered io at Camp Northen :
“The Third Georgia regiment may
be ordered to Porto Rico in a short
time. It is reported on good author*
flßßhat thh officers in command have
received an intimation'that they will
be given orders to move, very soon,and
great enthusiasm has been aroused. It
is stated that the men who have seen
service will be the first mustered out,
and those who have been held in camp
here will be given a show.
"No better regiment could be chosen
than the Third Georgia. It is well
drilled and mustered up to the requir
ed number of men and will be fully
competent to relieve the men at Porto
Rico, who are to be ordered home to be
mustered out.
“The Third Georgia regiment now
has 1,108 men, which lacks 96 of being
the largest number*ever enlisted in a
regiment in this country. These 96
are expected to be enlisted within an
other week. The largest Georgia reg
iment on record had 960 men,
“The companies of the Third regi
ment are all mustered in except two,
and they will pass examination next
week. The men are all in camp at
Griffin and in good condition. They
seem to be enjoying camp life and the
number of cases in the hospital is
small.” ______
BRUTAL CLUBBING.
A Blow That Knocked Wire and Smoke
Trom a M.gro’a Head.
Negroes in the south have a habit of
sticking matches, toothpicks and ciga
rettes behind their ears, and it is a com
mon thing to see one of them, when
asked for a match, pull one of them out
of the closely kinked wool just over his
ear. Frequently they have a dozen o»
more stowed away there. Not long ago
an Atlanta policeman, whose beat in
cludes "Busty row,” a favorite resort
for idle negroes, had occasion to arrest
a notorious vagrant, whose main occu
pation was fighting and draining the
beer kegs left in front of barrooms.
This man, as usual, resisted arrest
and attacked* the officer fiercely. The
officer saw that extreme measures were
necessary and, drawing his club, aimed
a blow at the negro’s head. The result
was as alarming as it was unexpected.
As the club came in contact with the
man’s head, just over the left ear, there
was a cracking sound, and from the hail
tongues of blue, sulphurous flame shot
out. The negro dropped to the ground,
and the club fell from the officer’s
nerveless hand, while a look of wild
eyed amazement appeared on his coun
tenance.
He had hit people with the same club
before—in fact, rather frequently—and
blood had sometimes followed the blows,
but never before had they drawn flame
and smoke. He was about to leave the
place hurriedly, not knowing what he
had done, when his victim sat up and
said reproachfully: “Go way, man!
You done splode all my matches and
swinge my ha’r often my haid. ’ ’ Ths
officer was so much relieved that he
broke his record by letting the man go
his way in peace.—Washington Star.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA. SUNDAY MORNING. AUGUBT 14. 1898.
TO HAVE MILITARY RULE.
„• . ■
Corqnered Territory To Be Adminis
tered By War Department-
Washington, Aug. 13 —lt is prob
able that the conquered stations like
Porto Rico and Manila will remain
under military government until con
gress can act.
It is believed that the military com
missions which are to be appointed
within ten days will make such a re
commendation to the president. In
fact, it is pointed out that little else
can be done, for Porto Rico and Ma
nila logically should,be governed for
the present by the war department
and a military commander.
Ae to Cuba, it is quite likely that so
far «£ the United States authority is
extended or averted it will be through
the secretary of war and the authori
ties in Cuba under bis direction. Con
sideration is being given to the ap
pointment of the military commission
ers and many of the prominent com
manders in the army have beeti men
lined. ’
The energies of the war department
nor are being directed toward mak
ing the soldiers in the field and in the
different camps as comfortable as pos-<
sible, relieving the sick, taking care of
the wounded and placing the soldiers
in healthy and more pleasant camps
and quarters/
Arrangements have been made to
send larger reinforcements to General
Merritt. With the troops already at
Manila and those which will arrive
within a very few days, General Mer
ritt will have 16,000 men. The 7,000
troops at San Francisco are to be sent
as rapidly as transports can be ob
tained. These transports are now on
their way from Nagaski to San Fran*
cisco. *
The war department is cancelling,
the charters of the various vessels used*
for transportation of troops The gov
ernment purchased 13 vessels and
chartered about 50. Already the
charters of the Lampasas and Lousi*
ana have been cancelled and orders
have been issued cancelling those of
the Concho and Lenora as soon as
they arrive from Santiago. Ships
will be retained as long as necessary
to transport troops, but as the neces
sity for rapid movement has passed
fewer transports will accommodate
the troops that are to be moved at sea.
Remarkable Rescue-
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,lll.,
makes the statement that she caught
cold, which settled on her lungs; sho
was treated for a month by her family
physician, but grew worse. He told
her she was a hopeless victim of con
sumption and that no medicine could
cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Consump
tion ; she bought a bottle and to her
delight found herself benefited from
first dose. She continued its-use and
after taking six bottles, found herself
sound and well; now does her own
housework and is as well as she ever
was Free trial bottles of this Great
Discovery at Carlisle & Ward and J.

“In all questions of manners a young
man should always remember that,
while politeness is a good trait to ac
quire, courtesy is infinitely better,”
writes Edward Bok in The Ladies’
Home Journal. “Politeness is manners,
but courtesy is heart. Mingling in good
society can give us that veneer which
the world calls a polish of manners, and
true politeness is not to be made little
of nor scoffed at. Politeness is a fine
art, but is an art pure and simple even
at its best. Infinitely better is the culti
vation of that courtesy of refinement
which enters into the feelings of others
and holds them sacred. It is idle to say
that courtesy is a rello of old fashioned
days and is no longer looked for. It if
as much the current coin of good socie
ty as it ever was. More than any other
element or grace in our lives it is in
stantly felt and recognized and has an
unfailing influence. It calls for respect
as nothing else does. Courtesy of man
ner and courtesy of speech are the gifts
a young man should cultivate.”

The Proper Thing-
The Jackson Times, in speaking of
the lynohingof John Meadows^last
Monday, and Judge Beck’s charge to
the grand jury of this county, says:
“The Times is a great admirer of
W. Beck, and doesn’t wish
to goon record as upholding mob vi*
obnee or the spirit of lawlessness
wgich frequently characterizes it, but
.j&til the law’s course can be arranged
am as to secure immediate trials and
punishment for crimes of this kind,
we don’t hope to see any bessacion in
lynobiifg. A negro wbo is ao beastly
as to assault innocent children in- this
born for death and hell
and the sooner they meet the enevita
ble the better it will be for humanity
and the world.”
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRI? OF HGS
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
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist onfl in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fobmu. Fig Sybup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get Its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company—
