TWO GEORGIA REGIMENTS
■'' -
ARE ORDERED MUSTERED OUT
AT oboe
Th* Frm 4<nt Directs General Corbin

Menth* Furlough.
Special to Atlanta Journal.]
WaSMi>gtok. Sept. B.—Seo a tor Ba*
con bad a long interview with the
pr—Ment today relative to mustering
out Georgia troops. He represented
to tbe president the great ’ importance
of immediate notion to older that the
young men who had volunteered
while war was flagrant might at once
return to their business avocations.
Ho urged that either a certain pro*
portion of the regiments should be
mustered out in their entirety, oawK
some general system should bo adopt
ed by which men whose business re
quired it should bo discharged, and
their places filled by recruits. The
president on the contrary pointed out
tbe importance and necesaityof retain
ing a certain number ol the volun
teers and that under this necessity
some must be retained against their
will.
After a full discussion lasting nearly
one hour, the president consented to
recognise Ray’s regiment as a Georgia
regiment for the purpose oi estimating
Georgia’s quota. Upon the basis of
retaining one-half of tbe volunteers,
be decided to muster out two of the
Georgia volunteer regiments and dur
ing the interview with Senator Bacon
sent for Adjutant General Cotbin and
directed him to order the mustering of
them out. This will be done without
delay. The president requested Sena
tor Bacon to designate the two regi
ments to be mustered out. The senator,
however, declined to do so, stating
that be would not take the responsi
bility ol determining which regiment
should be retained in tbe service where
there were so many in each regiment
who wished to be discharged and
where there were doubtless somein
each regiment who wished to continue
in tbe service. -
So soon as tbe designation is made.,
of she regiments to be mustered out
the officers and men will be given a
furlough of thirty days after wbicfi
they will return and be paid off aud
mustered out.
Washington, Sept, 9.—There are
strong rumors toddy that Senator Ba*
con may be tbe Democratic member
of the peace commission. When he
called at the white house today it was
conjectured that it related to tbe com
mission, bat tbe senator subsequently
declined to discuss this feature of tbe
visit, which related principally and
perhaps entirely to tbe mustering out
two Georgia regiments.
Senator Bacon’s name has been
freely mentioned recently io connei
tion with tbe commission.
Yellow Jaundice Cured.
Suffering humanity should be sup*
plied with every means possible for
its relief. It is with pleasure we pub
lish the following: “This is so certify
that I was a terrible sufferer from
Yellow Jaundice for over six months,
and was treated by some of the best
physicians in our city and all to no
avail. Dr. Bell, our druggist, recom
mended Electric Bitters; and after
taking two bottles, I was entirely
cored. I now take great pleasure in
recommending them to any person
suffering from this terrible malady. I
am gratefully yours, M A. Hogarty,
Lexington, Ky.” Sold by J. N. Harris
& Son and Carlisle A Ward druggist.
Then and Mow
Senator Lindsay served for four
years in tbe Confederate army, and
therefore knows something of war and
its hardships. ~ I
“I am glad to see,’’ be continued,
“that sow complaints have come freftn
the men in camp during these heated
days. It degrades the American sol
dier to the plain of children when we
talk of the soldiers in front of Santiago
having nothing but coffee, hardtack
and bacon. For tbe last three years
of the civil war five hundred thousand
of our men never tasted a drop ol
coffee. I remember that a ration of
bacon served to the Confederate sol
diers would incite the wildest entbu*
eiaam, and patriotism. Hardtack was
• luxury to us and we seldom got it,
save when w> could capture sqpae Fed*
eral commissary wagons.”

THE THIRD REGIMENT
—"'l*
Has Been Ordered To Join Leo's Corps
at Jacksonville.
The Third Georgia regiment has
been ordered to Jacksonville, and this
time tbe order came from tbe war de
partmeni at Washington direct to
Col. Candler. < 1
About 7 :30 Wednesday night Col.
Candler received a telegram from Ad
jutant General Corbin at Washington
telling him to report to General Lee
at Jacksonville for duty and to be
ready to depart from Camp Norihen
in forty eight hours.
As has been stated before this order
was preceded on Saturday by a tele*
phone message from Allan*.* stating
they would be ordered away, but as
no order canynpany thought it Was a
fahb and were only rejoicing that such
wag the case, when the order really
canae, but lartr than expected.
Many thi6k it possible the regimen t
will break camp today and Is?ave for
their new encampment tonight, bates
tbe regiment will be- paid off here it is
hardly probable they will leave before
Saturday noon. And again there is a
hitch in tbe commissary department.
The rations are running short and not
enongharenow on band to supply each
man with a three days, or field ration.
It may be Saturday noon before these
arrive, if ep they win not get off before
.fp߮aturday or Sunday morning.
Consequently Col. Candler does not
know himself when be will move with
his regiment.
Ac has been stated somecommisaion*
ed officers had threatened to resign if
tbe regiment was ordered to Jackson
ville. Yesterday afternoon the resig
nations of Capt. Robt. Hodges of
Macon, and Lieut. T J. Ripley of
DeKalb, were tendered and asked that
the same take affect at once. Tbe
reporter was informed that others were
expect m! before tbe departure of the
troops
Capt. Goo P. Walker, of Battery B,
telephoned the pay master in Atlanta
yesterday asking him to come down
and pay his men off that, they
return to their home and work. This
.bad the desired effect as the pay mas
ter came down yesterday afternoon at
5 ;28 and was met at tbe depot by a
sergeant’s squad and escorted to the
camps, when be proceeded at once to
pay off battery B. Tbe others will be
paid off early today.
Battery B, most of whom are from
Savannah, left last night on a special
train for Savannah.
Battery A will leave thia morning
for their homes.

Roosevelt’s Little Sermon.
Col Roosevelt’s little sermon to the
soldiers at Montauk Point last Sunday
contained a good deal of excellent
advice for tbe men, who ao nobly led
the charge against the enemy before
Santiago. Among other things Col.
Roosevelt said:
“No here’s a thing I want to warn
you against: Don’t get gay and pose
as heroes. Don’t go back and lie on
your laurels; they’ll wither. Tbe
world will be kind to you for about
ten days, and then it will say : ‘He’s
spoiled by the fams of tbe regiment
in Cuba.’ Don’t think you’ve got to
have tbe best of everything, and don’t
consider yourselves as martyrs in tbe
past tense. What I want of all of you
is to get right out and fight your bat
tles in tbe world as bravely as you
fought tbe nation’s battles in Cuba.”
Tbe Rough Riders think a great
deal, of »beir colonel and the good ad*
vioe he has given them will doubtless
be highly prised by the men.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER ». 1898.
ARMOURS’ BID REJECTED.
Said to Hava Used Employes’ Names
to Secure Bonds.
•
Washington, Sept. 8 Following
the rejection of tbe subscriptioM of
clients of the North American Trust
Compsny, of New York, for $4,000,•
000 of war bonds, the treasury depart
ment has rejected those of P. D. Ar
mour A Co., of Chicago.
The trust company’s clients know
ing they would stand a better chance
of getting bonds by subscribing for
those of small denominations, seat io
tbe names oi thousands of mythical
persons. Ou each fictitious subscrip
tion it was designated that the bonds
should go to the trust company. This
aroused tbe suapi-ioo of the treasury
officials. Secret service agents were
put ou tbe case and Solicitor O'Con
nell made a special trip to New York.
They found many forgeries and fioti
cions names. Secretary Vanderlip
said to a reporter last night that tbe
department would take no action
against the trust company, believing
it to be innocent of any intention of
wrong doing.
The Armour Company subscribed
through its employes for small de*-
nomination bonds which aggregated
more than $1,000,000. According to a
provision of the war revenue law it
was necessary for all subscribers to
make oath to the fact that they were
not bidding for some other individual
or corporation, and as the Armour
employes were subscribing at the in,
stance of their employer, and were
supposed to turn their bonds over to
tbeir employer, they could not make
this affidavit without perjuring them
selves. Consequently tbe Armour
subscriptions were rejected.

Li Hung Dismissed By China.
PM3N, Sept. 7—Li Hung Chang
has been dismissed from power. It is
presumed this was done io accordance
with the demand which, it waa ru
mored, the British minister here. Sir
Claude M. MacDonald, waa inatrucled
to make an account of the alleged
general partiality o( the great China
man to Russia, culminating in Great
Britain being deprived of tbe contract
fur tbe Pekin-Hankow railroad by
giving tbe Ruseo-Cbiuew bank finan
cial control of the road.
TBE HCEUENCE OF SW OF IKS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but alto
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the Caufoknia Fig Sybvp

all me 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 one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fobnia Fig Syrup 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 nil 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
