RUSHING TO MANILA.
6,000 IM AND TWO BATTLE
SHIPS TO GO TO PHILIPPINES
Th* Mtn Will Do Garrison Duty and
the Oregon and lowa Will Bein
foroe Dewey's Fleet-
Washington, Sept. 19.—Six regi*
mente dow at San Francisco have been
ordered to Manila. Arrangements lor
their transportation will be made at
onee.
It was stated at the war department
that no exigency had arisen which
made it necessary to send the troops
now at San Francisco to Manila, but
the orders issued today were in accor
dance with the general plan of the
department regarding a garrison ler
the Philippines. That plan of garri
son duty Included 20,000 for the Phil
ippines, 12,500 for Porto Rico, and
60,000 for Cuba. The trpopa to be
sent to Manila under today’s orders
will fill the complement lor that
station.
The troops would have been sent
before, it is said, except that the de
partment was awaiting the return of
the transports It is pot expected that
troops now at Honolulu will accom
pany these to be embarked at San
Framisco, but that more troops will
be sent to Honolulu in the near
future.
The navy department is rashing
preparations for the start of the big
battleships Oregon and lowa to Hono
lulu, and orders have been sent to the
.New Y>rk navy yard to have them
start on their long voyage by the
end of the present month, and accord
ing to the department calculations
they should arrive at their destination
by the end of January. There is little
effort now made to conceal the fact
that the department will have the
ships met at Honolulu by a dispatch
boat with orders to turn their prows
westward to Manila.
Battleships of this character are not
needed to keep the Filipino insurgents
in order, and their assembling at Ma
nila in conjunction with the dispatch
of heavy reinforcements of troops for
the American land forces cannot but
be regarded as significant.
In well informed circles here it is
said that the real purpose of the presi
dent in making these preparations is
to Insure the peace commissioners
against any interference in their work
of disposing of the future of the Phil
ippine Islands according to their best
judgment.
With the addition to bis fleet of
two battleships Admiral Dewey will
have a force only second to that of
Great Britain in eastern waters, while
on shore -General Otis will have a
more numerous army than any Euro
pean power save Russia.

WINNIE DAVIS IS DEAD.
r DAUGHTER OF THE COHFEDERA
CT HAS PASSED AW AT-
•
I A Relapse In Her Condition Occurred
Saturday Hight and She Died
Sunday at Noon.
- Narragansett Pier, R 1., Sept. 19.
i —Mias Winnie Davis, daughter of Mrs,
* Jefferson Davie, died at noon yesters
I day at the Rockingham h jtel, to which
place she came as a guest in the early
I part of the Pier’s social season. She
i had been ill for several weeks, and a
I fortnight ago her ailment was diag«
, nosed as malarial gastritis
At times her condition became very
> serious, so that consultations of pby-
■ siciana were deemed necessary, but
■ frequent rallies gave renewed hope
■ that she would ultimately recover.
Daring the past week especially was
i her condition considered favorable,
, and it was thought that her removal
, from the hotel would bo possible in a
few Jays, as the hotel had closed for
the season, leaving tbe patient and
attendants practically alone iu the
house.
Saturday night, however, a relapse
in Miss Davis* condition was noticed
and throughout the night she lost
strength perceptibly. Yesterday morn
ing the physician said that the end was
not far off, and at noon death came to
end the suffering, which at times had
been intense.
Mrs. Davis had watched unremit
tingly at her daughter’s bedside and
she is now bowed with sorrow.
Mrs. Davis is holding up with great
calmness ip her affliction, and no fears
i are at present entertained of her health
yielding to the strain.
A Southern Fancy-
There is Homeric simplicity in the
plan of a Georgia man for improving
tbe people of his state. He suggests
that each county shall decide by vote
on Jan. lof each year yho tbe worst
man in the county is, and that the
man receiving the highest number of
votes shall on the ensuing Feb. 1 be
banged. There are somewhere about
140 counties in Georgia, so that evil
doers will be weeded out at a great
rate. Another beauty of, the plan is
that even if a thousand of the wicked
est men flee tbe state, there will still
be 140 wicked enough to be hanged in
tbe succeeding February. Thus the
law is like the old river law od tbe
Connecticut, which declared that the
length of tbe tense rail and the row
of potatoes nearest tbe river belonged
to the boatman. Even if these hardy
navigators.had carried off a dozen
lengths of fence rail and a dozen rows
of potatoes, there still remained rails
and potatoes nearest the river.
Tbe propounder of tbe Georgia
scheme of reform thinks it will drive
bad men out of the state. No doubt it
would, but then pretty good men
would have to be hanged because ah
though good positively they would
still be the worst of the virtuous ele
ment. Thus what with bangings and
flight we should presently see tbe
spectacle of a state with a small pop
ulation of very gbod men and women,
of whom 140 have to be banged every
year because although good as com
pared with other states, they are bad
as compared with the remaining in
habitants of Georgia.
Every one can push tbe analysis
further at bis own discretion : we
merely suggest possibilities in a clos
ing scene where the last 140 have to
vote their own condemnation and
bang themselves, there being no one
left to perform either duty for them.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 20, 1898.
THE OMAHA EXPOSITION
Same Interesting Exhibits m the
Government Department-
Uncle Sadi is very much in evidence
at the Trane-Mississippi Exposition
The various departments of govern
ment are well represeuted and the ex
hibits in each class are attracting
widespread attention, contributing
largely to the success of tbe exposition
as a whole.
Perhaps tbe most noteworthy fea
ture oftheWar Department exhibit is a
large collection of relics or trophies of
the campaign in the vicinity of San
tiago. A Spanish battle flag, the first
trophy captured by the American
army in Cuba, is on exhibition here,
together with Mauser rifles, machetes,
fl tgs, cannon, cannon balls, shells,car
tridges and other articles taken from
tbe battle fields near Santiago de Cu
ba. “
The large captive balloon which
was used by the Ameiican forces in
tbe advance upon El Caney and San
Juau hill is attracting unusual popu
lar interest. This great war balloon
which is a part of the government ex
hibit at the Exposition was manu
factured for tbe War Department at
Frankfort, N. Y., of pongee silk. Its
capacity is 21,000 cubic feet, sufficient
to carry four persons. This balloon is
equipped with completetelepbonic and
telegraphic apparatus. Communica
tion is established by means of insu
lated wire, paid out as tbe balloon as
cends. A complete phonographic
outfit is also a part of the equipment.
Tbe hydrogen gas is generated by
means of an apparatus consisting of
gas generator, gasometer, gas com
pressor, steam engine and several
hundred gas tubes. These lubes are
eight inches in diameter and fifty
inches long. They are.seamless, each
tube being tested to a pressure of
4,000 lbs to the square inch, By
means of tbe gas compressor the tubes
are filled with hydrogen gas, practi
cally in liquified state. When the
balloon is to be inflated, the tubes are
connected by means of valves and fit
tings to tbe gas chamber in the bal
loon and inflation is made.
At Santiago this monster balloon
was used by tbe United States signal
corps in making observations iu con
junction with a number of small bal
loons of various colors placed so as to
indicate the position of each brigade
or division.
Tbe daily drill of the U. S. life sav
ing crew in the basin in front of the
Government building on the Exposi
tion grounds affords a highly interest
ing spectacle, and is witnessed by
thousands of people. The drill -por
trays the methods by which tbe gov
ernment life saving crews on tbe coast
line rescue unfortunate seamen or
voyagers.

HorasflMh In Paris.
The use of horseflesh as an article of diet
is increasingly popular in Paris. To such
an extent has the demand for thia food
grown that last year no less than 15,187
animals, including 257 donkeys, were
killed for human consumption* and it has
become necessary to take steps for provid
ing a special abattoir for the purpose.
Horsemeat is of course cheap and is prin
cipally purchased by the poor, and it Is
said to be fairly nourishing, notwithstand
ing tbe fact that the animals from which
the flesh is obtained are ancient and worn
out hacks. In England, however, few peo
ple would eat horseflesh, knowing it to be
horseflesh, even if it wen given away.—

TH HCELLBiCE OF SHOT OF FMS
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 Syrup
Cd. only, and wo 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 one in avoiding the worthless .
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia 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 all other laxatives,
as it acta 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—
