< A ROYAL RECEPTION
Atlanta Receive* the Second Georgia
Regiment With Honor*.
Atlanta’s receptioh of the gallant
Second Georgia regiment yesterday
was such as to make every member of
that regiment feel proud of the sacrl
floee which he had endured for the
cake of hi* country in the late war.
Buch enthusiasm ha* rarely been wit*
nessed on the street* of this city as
that which yesterday greeted the re
turn of the soldier boys. Atlanta
poured out her heart to them in grali
tude, and she made the welkin ring
with her loud acclaim.
While the opportunity was not
given the brave men who compose the
Second Georgia regiment to grapple
with the enemy in Cuba, they are
none the less heroes in the eyes of the
country, and Atlanta presses them
each to her bosom with as much pride
as if they bad come back to her cov
ered with scars. They were not per
mitted to select the field of duty in
which to served and consequently they
are not responsible for the assignment
* -which kept them in camp. If their
wishes had been consulted in the
matter they would have preferred
without one single exception, to face
the fire of shot and shell in Cuba, and
they return borne bitterly disappoint*
«d that the fate of war did not permit
them to taste of the martial enthusiasm
of the field of battle.
But the hardships of camp life are
scarcely less than the hardships of
actual warfare, and the gallant Second
Georgia regiment does not come back
to us without its record of bitter priva
tions. Well do the brave men who
constitute its rank and file and who
have been ready at any moment to
marelrin the direction of Cuba deserve
the reception which Atlanta accorded
them yesterday in the lavisbness of
her admiration. They have acquitted
themselves like heroes, and not only
Atlanta, but the whole country will
hold them in tender remembrance.
Tbe enthusiam over the return of
the gallant Second Georgia regiment
will not soon be forgotten.—Constitu
Alon.
Remarkable Rescue,
Mrs- Michael Curtain, Plainfield,
111., makes tbe statement that she
caught cold, which settled on her
lungs ; she was treated for a month by
ber family physician, but grew worse.
He told her she was a hopeless victim
of consumption and that no medicine
could cure her. Her druggist sug
gested Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption ; she bought a bottle and
to her delight fecund herself benefited
from first dose. She continued its use
and after taking six bottles, found
herself sound and well; now does her
own housework, and is as well as she
ever was.—Free trial bottles of this
Great Discovery at J. N. Harris & Son’s

The Man Who Despair*.
Depression sometimes comes to com
munities just as it does over individu
als, and when it does it is a reign of
disease and desperation.
The man who despairs is an easy
prey for temptation, for not only is
his intellectual and physical vigor
weakened, but also his moral tongue.
Rather let a man be bouyant and
hopeful, tho’ it is accompanied with
aggressive turbulence, for in such a
state is hope and strength. But a self
satisfied cynical despondent attitude
cheapens a man aed undermines his
usefulness.
The man who despairs is no good to
himself or the community. What the
world needs is not self satisfied cynic*
istn or narrow partisanship, but strong
arms and willing hearts to help our
fellow men. Such men are a blessing
to themselves and to the communities
in which they live,
Sympathy and faith are corner
stones of succeed. More of it in the
world, tbe better it is for the world.
More of it in the individual tbe better
it is for that individual and for all who
cjtne wjtnin his influence.
The people of the south have gone
through periods of depression year af
ter year. But still the giving way to
despair and despondency has hurt in
stead of helping the cause. Let’s wipe
out despair and nut help in its place.
Stop talking and sitting around, wait
ing for good tiines to come, and be up
and doing, helping to bring them
about—Augusta Herald.

Spaniard* Must Leave Cuba-
Washington, Sept. sB A very
paremptory message of instruction has
been sent to the Coban military com
mission, and by them made the basis
of a note to the Spanish commission
ers. The authorises in Washington
will not drake public the terms of the
note, but its general tenor is that tha
United States will not be satisfied with
any further delay in tho evacuation
of Cuba.
It is to the effect that the terms of
tbe protocol called for the immediate
evacuation of Cuba and that the
Spanish soveielgnty must be relin
quished. The American commission
ers have been informed that tbe evac
uation of Cuba cannot be delayed.
At a conference held this morning
io the quartermaster’s bureau the ad
visability of breaking up *ll camps for
the winter was discussed The ques
tion of placiug the soldiers in tempo
rary headquarters in the largest cities
throughout the country was taken up
and received serious ’attention. The
plan proposed is to rant*vacant store
rooms and turn them into barracks.
This scheme is advised to insure the
soldiers against sickness and disease of
camp life in winter.
What Puzzled Him Most.
“When I was a young man,” says a
well known civil engineer, “I was sur
veying the route of a proposed rail
way. An old farmer with whom I
stopped for a time admitted one day
when he saw me figuring in tbe field
that mathematics always seemed a
wonderful thing to him. Being young
and enthusiastic, I began to enlarge
its wonders, telling him how we could
measure the distance to different plan
jets, and even weigh them; bow we
could foretell accurately tbe coming
of a comet or an eclipse years in ad
vance of its actual occurrence, deter
mining the velocity of the fiercest
projectile, ascertain tbe height of tbe
mountains witbout scaling them, and
many other things which I meant
should astonish him
“You can ujjagire Thow he set me
back when be replied to this brilliant
array of facts by saying : “Yes, yes,
them things does seem kinder cur’us
>ut what alius bothered me was to un.
derstand why you have ter carry one
fer ev’hy ten. But if you don’t the
durn thing won’t come out right.’ ”

Diversify the Crop-
The article from the Savannah News
contains food for thought, and will
probably result in good to the state, if
the people will act on the suggestion.
The many idle fields in tbe State of
Georgia and the horde of idle and
worthless negroes on the streets of our
towns is a menace to good citizenship.
At the present time, when cotton is
barely bringing enough money to pay
for the picking, a blind man can see
the error in raising it. Anent tbe
price of picking, we are reminded of
the reply to a farmer near Milner who
objected to paying over 25cls per hun
dred for picking. .The negro said he
“would not pick for 25 cents, be would
steal'first.”
The reply of the negro is the key to
the situation and is applicable to
more questions than cotton picking,
It is so easy for a negro to live by
stealing that they seldom want to
work for a living price A good cot
ton picker easily makes, at 25 cents a
hundred, a dollar a Say if he works,
and ordinarily nfakes from 50 to 75
cents a day. A farmer has to work all
tbe year to make tbe cotton and then
has to pay more than he gets for tbe
staple to have it picked.
Let us get out of the habit of rais
ing too much cotton. Half the pres
ent crop would bring about as much
money as the overwhelming crops we
are io the habit of making. Let us
diversify the crops.

PACE TO FACE WITH DEATH.
Axctic-Exnlorer Greely Tell* of His
Rescue by Captain Schley.
General Greely, in the October Laa
dies’ Home Journal, tells, for the first
time, the details of bis awful winter at
Cape Sabine. Eighteen of his party
of twenty-four Arctic explorer* had
perished from cold and ataTvalion
when Captain (now Admiral) Schley,
heading a relief party rescued the
survivors just in the nick of time.
“Summer crept slowly on, but food
came grudgingly,” writes General
Greely. “Etch worked to the end,
and even on the very morn none ever
knew that Death would not that day
touch him. One after another passed,
and when a mighty midsummer gale
from the south broke our hitherto
uninterrupted scientific observations,
there were left seven wan spectres.
There was not tbe physical strength
to raise tbe wind struck tent, and tbe
end was in sight. Was it to be life or
death! It was foolish to hope, for
even now did not the midnight sun,
that marked midsummer, from that
very day (June 21) leave us with com
ing winter in utter darkness? Had we
seven, who were left, gone through all
those two hundred and seventy-eight
days of suffering amid those icy scenes
for naught? But for all that there was
a strong faith that this gale must favor
the American ships that must be work
ing northward, through the ice. And
this faith in country turned to reality
forty hours later, when our nation’s
sailors vied in tender offices and sym
pathy for their comrades of the army
thus saved from death.”
Robbed the Grave-
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was tbe
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
“I wa* in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en, tongue coated, paiu continually in
back and sides, no appetite—gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. Fortu
nately, a friend advised trying ‘Elec
tric Bitters;’ and to my great joy aod
surprise, the first bottle made a decide
ed improvement. I continued their
use for three weeks, and am now a
well man. I know they saved my life,
and robbed tbe grave of another
victitrf.” No one should fail to try
them. Only 50c per bottle at J. N.
Harris & Son’s and Carlisle & Ward’s
