Griffin has decided to select candi dates for municipal offices by a white primary. Her decision is a wise one and Columbus would do well to adopt the came plan. Nothing contributes eo largely to the buying and selling of votes and the debauchery of the ballot as the abandonment of the plan of Dominating candidates by while pri maries and allowing the negroes to participate in tbe elections.

Bailey was united in marriage to Mrs. Elisabeth Andrew Hill by Rev. George A. Whitney the rector, who read the beautiful Episco palian ceremony in the presence of friends and relatives of the contracting parties. The ceremony occurred at 7:80 o’clock and soon afterwards they boarded the Southern train on a tour East where the best wishes of all follow them. The marriage was a surprise in onesense of the acceptation as It was not known until yesterday that tbo marriage would be consummated at this time, but Mrs. Hill and Mr. Bailey have been friends since childhood and their names have been coupled together frequently and while marriage has been thought probable it was a remote probability. To-day the many friends of Mr. Bailey and his bride will waft their wishes to them that their fondest hopes may be realised, , Mr. Bailey is a gentleman of wealth and high character and his bride Is a lady of culture and beauty who is admired over the south for her intellectuality. At Camp Worthen. Camp Nortben now has the largest regiment of men ever encamped upon tbia beautifnj site before. Il is believed the Third regiment will be full by Friday. The officers and men are evidently entertaining grave fears of tbe possi bility of being mustered out of service now that tbe war is over Although ever}- item is closely guarded against the newspapots, it is known that a called meeting ol every commissioned officer in camp was held at Col. Candler’s quarters at 12 o'clock Tuesday night to discuss the proper conrso to pursue to prevent the order for disbanding the regiment. What was done at this meeting could not be learned, but it is known that Col. Candler waa in communica tion with tbe war department all day and that recruits were being rushed to ibe camp as rapidly as possible. Many private consultations between the colonel and officers were held dur ing the day. Some/wished to petition the war de partment to be sent to Santiago, while others would go anywhere in the world rather than disband, but Col. Candler would allow no petition ol any nature to be circulated. Only five men to each company are allowed passes from the grounds each day. This goes rather bard on tbe men, who have been in the habit of visiting our city each night, and much complaining is heard But that is the order and muet he obeyed. Seventy two guards are now sta tioned around the grounds during the day and double thia number during tbe night. Tbie makes it next to an impossibility for one to run the lines. The men, however, are making tbe beet of this and always spend their idle moments in learning tactics in their company street. Capt. A. J. Burr, of this place, has gained the admiration of our entire people. Hie ia recognized as tbe very beat company in camp and has decid edly tbe prettiest appearance upon dress parade.

BP Her Funeral Occurred Here Yeeter day at Noon _______ Yesterday at noon tbe remains of Mrs. Martha Leak Sparks were interr ed at tbo'cilizens cemetery io this city, her death having occurred at Jolly on Sunday afternoon after an extended illness. Mrs Sparks, at the lime of her death was just 83 years old and while her death was not unexpected she left her loved ones unprepared for tbe shock of her dissolution. Some time ago oho was stricken with paralysis and at her age hope of re covery seemed almost forlorn, her relatives and friends administered every comfort that loving kindness could suggest and with her every wish anticipated watched her to the end. Her sufferings were borne with Christian fortitude as she was a Con sistent member of the Methodist church from her earlier years and as she had lived in the beauties of a per fect faith in her Redeemer, so she died. She leaves four living children to mourn her loss and cherish the memory of a loving mother. They are Mr. J. W. Sparks, Mrs. Ella Jones, Mr. Lad Sparks and Mr. William Sparks Death at Sunny Side. Mrs. Evelyn Kell Spalding, widow of Col. Chas. Spalding and sister of Capt. John Mclntosh Kell, died yesterday at 11 o’clock at her residence near Sunny Side, in Spalding county. Her funeral services will be held In Da rien, Ga., and her remains interred by the side of her husband in the beautiful ceme tery, near that city, and given to the city by Col. Spalding, the consecration ser vices for the same being held by the late Bishop Beckwith and the citizens of Da rien. The land was a portion of tbe es tate of his inheritance from his fkther, Hun. Thomas Spalding, for whom this county is named.

CAfItTORXA, Bmn th. Kind YouHawtiwag Signature ot XMeon. of Navy Fights. The teesonz to be drawn from the Span ish-American sea fights are not clear, sat isfactory and concluolvl With the barely possible exception of the sinking of the Merrimac, as suggested by Lieutenant Hobson, the torpedo has played no part in the naval engagements, and of ramming there has not been any. It was even so atYalu and throughout the war between China and Japan. But are we satisfied that if the conditions favored the use of torpedoes or rams by the Americans they would not have fairly realized some of tbe great expectations concerning one or both of theae instruments of destruction f “The torpedo boat destroyers founder ed,’’ said the brave Spanish Admiral Oer vera In his report to General Blanco. Yes, and the foundering was brought about by the good practice of the gunners of the Gloucester, a smart armed yacht. Car vers's ships were faster than those of Sampson, but they did not get away. Thirteen Inch guns can hurl many tons of shot and shell into the enemy before the advantage in speed of a few knots an hour will avail for the emergency. The effect of armament on armor is not yet accurately ascertained. Several points have, however, been made clear by the naval engagements—viz, (1) that modern shells readily set fire to the woodwork of warships, and that therefore wood must be avoided or made fireproof; (2) that speed is relatively more Important from strategical than from fighting considera tions; (8) that in fair fight superiority in marksmanship and quick firing means victory, and (4) that the Americans can do that which they claim—“shoot straight and obey orders.’’ —Landon Shipping World. X* Gave Him the Beads. Notwithstanding the danger, there are always plenty of men to be had at the wa terworks tunnel. It isn’t so easy, how ever, to keep them at work. They are apt to tire of it very soon, and all sorts of reasons are given for quitting. Not long ago a stout-colored man ap plied to the contractors for a job. He wad a well built, Intelligent looking fellow, and the foreman at once engaged him. He was given charge of a mule and started In on his duties. Not until the third day did he show any objection to the work. Then he came Into the foreman’s room. “Bom,** he said, “I gotter quitdls job." “What’s wrong!” “Well, boss, It’s dat mule. I never see no such a cantankerous mule as dat ar* one.** “What’s tbe matter with the mule!” . “Mattahwid It! Well, if dat ain’t de wickedest mule dat ever walked on two legs den I don’t know.

Then he placed hta hands across the pit of his stomach and stooped forward. “Say, boss," he cried, with painful In tensity, “dat dingUasted mule done kick me so hard right heah dat he give me de •bends’ fob shuahl” Thon the foreman paid Kim off and let him go.—Cleveland Plain Deafer.

He was for a long lime secretary of the Central City Loan and Trust Association, being associated with Ma jor William Henry Ross in tbe very successful conduct of the affairs of that,company.
