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.

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. for rent? - Six-room dwelling on Poplar Btr eet A-PPly to Wilsok Mathzwb. 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.’ ” Buoklen’s Arnica Salve- THE BEST SALVE in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Ulcers, Balt Rheum Fever Sores, Tetter, Chapped Hands, Chilblains, Corns, and all Skin Eruptions, and positively cures Piles, or no pay re quired.

Harris & Son and Carlisle & Ward, 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.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1898. | 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.
