Georgia Day at Omaha-
It will be noticed that Thursday,
September 29, will be Georgia day at
the Omaha exposition. This will be
an auspicious occasion and should
attract a large number of Georgians to
the trans-Mississippi/-show.
The Georgia Press Association pro
poses to journey there io a body and a
good many people will go along as
excursionists, taking advantage of the
special rates to the West at that time.
Governor Northen, who has worked
very industriously to get. up a credita
ble exhibit for Georgia and a fine
crowd, is encouraged to believe that a
train load of visitors will visit Omaha
on Georgia day and testify by their
presence their appreciation of the
efforts of their state. This will be a
sp endid chance to visit the trans-
Mississippi expositicn.
The exhibit is a large one ’ ambtbe
advantages of a growing section and a
prosperous people will set forth most
attractively. Georgia day at Omaha
will be a gala one io the calendar of
that enterprise.
President H II Cabanise, of the
Pres* Association, has engineered a
splendid trip for the newspaper men,
their families, and friends Tl ere will
be no doubt of the fact that a great
chance is just ahead for Georgians to
see the great West in holiday attire
and to study its resources and progress.
Those who inspected the Western
exhibits at Chicago did not have time
to view the giant productions of the
pararies at their beat. They were
crowded by the sideshows and sensa
tions of the plaisance and by foreign
attractions The far West is a won
derful . land and the glories of the
trans Mississippi will be opened up at
Omaha with all tbe skill and variety
that are possible.

Senator Sherman Think* Some One
Should be Impeached.
Washington, Sept. I—Tbe inter
view with Hon John Sherman, charg
ing neglect and mismanagement upon
the War Department, created a sensa
tion in Washington.
To another interviewer he reiterated
some of the criticisms and spoke with
deep feeling of what be termed "mon
strous mismanagement *’ He said :
"I don’t see how there can be any
mistake or misrepresentation as to tbe
condition of affairs among our soldiers
in Santiago or in the camps. Tbe of
ficial reports, the statements of re
sponsible, officers and of tbe men who
suffered in that campaign are to tbe
same effect—that there were 'horrible
suffering and of life result
ing IrOWi inadequate provision lor the
care of 'the sick and wounded, and
that suitable food was not-provided
for those whose condition of health
would not admit of their eating army
rations. They were short of medi
cines and suitable food and . did not
have surgeons enough to perform the
services which fee army demanded.
“Tbe whole story is too horrible to
talk about and there can be no possi
ble excuse offered. I cannot under
take to say what individual authority
is responsible, but the facts themselves
are monstrous, and whether the fault
lies with tbe officers in tbe field, or
those in the department of tbe Secre
tary of War himself, the responsibilily
should be fixed and tbe person re
sponsible should be severely punished-
It was known that there was going to
be a battle; our army was sent there
for that purpose and it was nothing
short of criminal to neglect those
preliminary preparations for the care
of tbe wounded and sick and to pro
vide for the sustenance of the army.
“Tbe president might order an ins
vestigation, but I doubt whether the
matter can be adequately dealt with,
except by Congress. The persons
should be impeached and Congrefls
a lona, baa lhe power of impeachment.”

Gen- Wheeler in Advance.
At the battle of New Hope Church,
says the San Francisco Argonaut,
Gen. Walker sent Maj. William H.
Ross, who was on his staff, to ascertain
from Gen. Wheeler, who occupied an
advance position, what was in his
front. He found the general on bis
horse, with his leg over tbe pommel pf
bis saddle. Saluting him, Maj. Ross
said : "Gen.. Walker intends to make
a charge at this point, and would like
to know if tbe enemy baa a masked
battiry jn front of us.’’
“I d.<n’t know, major," Gen. Wheel
er replied, "but I can soon find out,”
and swinging into position in his sad
dle, he galloped up to a slight emi
nence, accompanied by Maj. Ross and
his staff, and planted a guidon.
A moment later a puff of smoke in
the distance, and the sputtering of a
shell as it flew over them, showed what
was ahead. Turning to Maj. Ross,
the general said: "Give Gen. Walker
my compliments, and say there is a
masked battery in front of us." Maj.
Ross ventured the remark that it was
a rather risky way of unmasking a
battery.
"Th6 first shots always fly high,”
was the 000 l reply ; “It’s tbe shots that
follow that- are dangerous.”
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the pub
lie to know of one concern it fee land
who are not afraid to be generous to
tbe needy and suffering. The propri
etors of Dr King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds, have
given away over ten million trial bot
tles of this great medicine; and have
the satisfaction of knowing it has ab
solutely cured thousands of hopeless
cases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarse
ness and all diseases of the Throat,
Chest and Lungs are surely cured by
it. Call on J N Harris & Bon or

DRATH FROM STORM.
Two Men Drowned st Tybee in Try
ing to Aid Others-
Savannah, Sept. I.—The most lers
rible story of the storm comes from
Tybeaisland today. Yesterday Lieut.
Henry 8 Morgan, of tbe corps of en
gineers, U. N. A , and a seaman named
Smith, were drowned off Tybqe island
while trying to reach the Italian bark
Noe and save the lives of tbe crew.
The Noe went aground and the
crew was in danger. The lieutenant,
who was stationed on Tybee fort, call
ed for volunteers to man a boat and
go to their rescue. Five men volun
teered. They were employed about
the fort. The boat was launched.
Just before it reached tbe bark it cap
sized and the rescuing party was
swamped. All tbe men except Lieut.
Morgan and Smith were picked up
this morning.
Tbe officer and his companion are
almost surely lost. ; ;j
Tbe flag at tbe station is at half
mast for them. Lieutenant Morgan
was a Georgian, going from Valdosta
to West Point. He was only twenty
four years of age and graduated in
1897.
The other man to lose bis life was
Second Mate Garibolo, of the Italian
bark. He was trying to reach the
shore by a lifeline and fell into tbe *e».
Ail reports are yet meagre in conse
quence of tbe great damage, but the
death list will grow when fuller report*
are in. No news has been received
from the other nearby islands, and it
is on them that the greatest horrors of
the storm are expected to develop.

They and their daughters were at At

The Kentucky girl, like some dashing
thoroughbred from the bluegrass up
lands; the Louisiana belle, fair as an
autumn evening or the magnolia of
her beloved state; the starrysyed
beauty from tbe Mississippi; tbe "yel
low rose” of Texas that beats the belle
of Tennessee; tbe stately Virginian,
queen-like in her looks and bearings
as tbe daughter of a hundred earls;
the lovely Alabamian ; the Tennessee
an, sweet and freshes tbe pink laurels
from her mountain fastnesses; the
Carolina queen and the Florida siren,
in whose ears are ever tbe song of tbe
sea and whose eyes mirror the cloud
less blue of lhe skies. Tbe whole
South will break forth into her joys.
Her hands are filled with roses and
her eyes with tears. And as she stands
with her beloved sons and daughters
about her, far away on the breeze

Rtflection* of a Bachelor
When a girl is really in love, says
the New York Press, tbe tears come
into her eyes whenever she says hsr
prayers.
It is a tot essier for a woman to be
known for her beauty than it is to be
forgiven for it.
Every woman who has ever been in
love has carried vorne letter aronnd in
the front of her dress.
. It takes lots of resolution for a man
not to act cut up when a girl he
knows tells him that she ia engaged.
Flirtation is generally like molasses
candy. If you chew too bard on it
you get your teeth stuck together.

ties. The high standing of the Cali
fobnia Fig Sybvp Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
