THE.FIRST 'i AND THIRD
£
REGIMENTS ARE TO BE MUS
TERID OUT Os SERVICE
The War Department Announces That
Only the Second Regiment Will
Remain In the Service-
< * <' t • :<_
Atlanta, Ga , Sept. 9 —The follow
ing telegram from Governor Atkinson,
who it in Washington, reached the
executive office just before noon to
day: /
••W. G. Obear, Acting Adj. Gen.:
The war department decides to muster
out the First and Third regiments, the
First to be mustered out at Macon,
Savannah and Albany. AU wishing
to remain in service will be transferred
to the SeoonJ, and a like number
Wishing to retire will be discharged
from the Second.
"W. Y. Atedtbon, Governor."
; This retains in the service the Sec
ond regiment of Georgia volnnteers,
commanded by Colonel Oscar Brown.
Thia news will come like a clap of
thunder to the officers and men of tbe
Third regiment, now at Griffin, who
were preparing to board trains for
Jacksonville, where they expected to
join the corps which is to become an
army of occupation.
Governor Atkinson s trip to Wash
ington was known only to a few per
sons until this morning. He left the
city on Wednesday night and yester
day it was stated at ttje, executive
office that he was opt of the city, but
his whereabouts was not then made
known. This morning ae inquiry
elicited the information that the gov
ernor was in Washington, and it was
understood that his business there
had something to do with the muster
ing out of the Georgia troops.
About an hour later Major F. E.
Calloway, the governor’s private sec
retary, gave out the contents of the
above telegram.
It is understood that the governor
went to Washington to insist on the
adoption pl his recommendation that
the three Georgia regiments be con
solidated, allowing those to retire who
desired to do so and placing the others
in one regiment.
Hie idea was that men who enlisted
* at a personal sacrifice because they
thought their country needed them,
should be allowed to go to their homes
and business, now that the war is over,
and there are more soldiers than the
government has use for.
The Note Was Paid.
Here’s another story about Presi
dent Lincoln, the truth* of which was
vouched for by the late Col. Jesse W.
Jackson, says the New York Sun. One
afternoon Mr. Lincoln was walking
leisurely through Lafayette Square,
when he noticed a young man who
was using sulphurous language io a
manner calculated to alarm the na
tives. Mr. Lincoln stopped the young
mao and asked what the trouble was.
Not knowing Mr. Lincoln, the young
fellow said that blankety-blank clerk
in tbo treasury department had had
him trotting there for months to collect
a small note and ho couldn’t get a
blankety-blank cent out of him.
“That is pretty bad," said Mr. Lie*,
coin, "but I’ll tall you wbst I will do.
If you will promise me to give up us
ing profane words I will guarantee to
collect the note for you."
After a little further talk the propo
sition was agreed to, The young man
produced the note and banded it to
Mr. Lincoln, who wrote on the back,
“A. Lincoln." When it was given to
the collector and bis eyes fell on the
name ho unconsciously mumbled:
"Well, I'll be damned," then quickly
apologized to the President, who shook
his band, cautioned him to remember
the compact and resumed bis after
noon stroll.
It io needless to say that the note
was promptly liquidated when next
presented.

Spain’s Present Navy.
Spain emerges from the war with a
fleet wbfob on paper at least is a re
spectable one, but this is merely be- ’
cause her ships were unready at tbe ,
outset of tbe struggle, and unable to
take their place in line beside Cervera
and Montejo. As it stands today the ,
Spanish fleet is the seventh in Europe,
coming after the British, French,
Russian, German, Italian and Aus
trian fleets.
It now includes the battleship Pss
layo, which is a fairly good and mod
ern ship, the armored cruiser Carlos
V, and three armored cruisers of tbe
Vizcaya type. These last are all un
finished. There are two old iron clads,
the Vitoria and Numancia.
The protected cruiser squadron is 1
represented by the Alfonso XIII, ,
Lepanto and Diode la Plata, but of :
these the first two are badly designed, '
and unable to go to sea without great ,
alterations.
Cf torpedo gunboats there are elev- '
en, of destroyers four, and of large i
torpedo boats twelve, to say nothing i
of a submarine boat.
Os older vessels, which are for all !
practical purpoaesof no fighting value, '
there are a host; two old wooden
cruisers, similar to the Castilla, which
were burned at Manila, bead the list,
and a large number of email gunboats,
hitherto employed on tbe Coban and
Philippine coast line, bring it to a
conclusion.
Spain has cruiser of the
Cristobal Colon type building in Italy.
It was to have been delivered this
year, but with tbe bad luck which
waits upon Spain was not completed
when the war began.
Practically all Spain’s large ships
which were ready to go to sea at tbe
beginning of tbe war have been cap
tured or destroyed. Santiago has ac
counted for seven vessels, Manila for
ten, and about as many more small
craft have been wiped off her list in
tbo minor actions of tbe
If tbe whole Spanish navy were
collected and dispatched into Ameri
can waters, it would be greatly out
matched by tbe fleets of Argintina or
Chile, To such depths of humiliation
has Spain, tbe oldtime mistreos of the
sea, failed.—London Daily Mail.

-
Washington, Sept. 9.—Tbe navy
department is contemplating sending
the battleship Texss to tbe Philip
pines, where she will be used as. Ad
miral Dewey’s flagship.
No orders have bean issued for tbe
lowa and Oregon, but it was said that
they wouW not go to Manila or the
Pacific coast, but on a mission of
which it would not bepolitio to speak
at this time.
The naval board of construction to
day agreed to recommend that cons
tracts for tbo construction of the three
battleships authorized at the last ses
sion of congress be awarded one each
to tbe Cramps, of Philadelphia, the
Union Iron Works, of San Francisco,
and tbe Newport News Company.
Tbe speed requirements will exceed
eighteen knots and the plans have
been drawn Up for what tbe construc
tion bureau believes will be ideal

Stirred Old Memories.
Gen. Dave Cook tells a story of tbo
early days in Denver that serves to
illustrate the fact that there was occa
sionally a hot time in the new town.
It appears that there was an old timer
from Montana who came out here for
the purpose of investing in real estate*
He found a dealer who told him it was
the liveliest town on earth and that
there was not a time, day or night,
that a man could go out on tbe streets
and not see a crowd of people engaged
at something, says the Denver Times.
“O, that’s an old lake,” said tbe
Montana man. "I can go out here
and in two minutes there won’t bo a
soul in sight.’’
"I’ll just bet you a deed to those lots
against a barrel of the original Ken
tucky that you can’t do it.”
Tbe bet was arranged with the bar
tender ae a witness, and the two walked
out of the door. Just as tbe Montana
man got outside a big six shooter drop
ped out of bis pocket and in falling
discharged itself. Tbe people in those
days knew what that noise meant and
began to seek cover in the business
houses and in their homes. And they
did not come out in tbe two minute
time fixed either.
Tbe Montana man won his bet, and
it is said that he is still living on the
two lots enjoying life.

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to tbe care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific proeesses
known to the Caxi»objiia Fie Svbvp
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 Syrvp 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
fornia Fie Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfactioh
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 ite beneficial
