WARSHIPS FOB PEKIN
Dewey is Ordered to Bead the Balti
more and Petrel There.
WaSHIHGTOW, Oct. 3. —Secretary
Long upon advice- received at the
state department showing the exist
ence of threatening conditions in
China, baa ordered Admiral Dewey to
send two warships immediately from
Manila to a point as near the Chinese
capital as it is possible for a warship
to approach.
The vessels selected for this under
taking are the Baltimore and the
Petrel. It is expected that the Balti
more will not be able to get beyond
the Take forts at the entrance of the
Panghe river npon which it is situated,
but the Petrel, being of smaller
proportions, may be able to reach
Tein Tain, 80 miles above the mouth
and about the same distance from
Pehin.
The stale department has received
the following cablegram from Minister
Conger at Pekin : "There is no serious
danger, bnt considerable anxiety for
the future. The foreign fleet is as
sembling at Tein-Tsin. Some of the
ministers are ordering marines to
Pekin for legation guards.”
Homespun Philosophy.
The Atchison Globe throws out
some bits of humorous homespun phi
losophy as follows: ,
Don’t tell little lies; talk about
thousands and tens of thousands and
become known as a statistician.
In throwing old shoes at a bride
take care to throw pairs; the day may
come when she will want to wear
them.
There is a great deal of money spent
on cake frosting at weddings,consider
ing the unceasing appetite of a long
future lor plain breed.
What she says at the door as she is
leaving is to a woman’s call what her
postscript is to a letter.
There should be certain fine stones
laid aside in heaven for the crown of
any man whose record shows that be
never bought a musical instrument on
the installment plan.
It is all right lor ap unmarried wo
man to enlist to fight the demon Rum
but when a married woman.does it it
canses suspicion to perch on her hus
band.

That Joyful Feeling
With the exilarating sense of renewed
health and strength and internal cleanli
ness, which follows the use of Syrup of
Figs is unknown to the few who have not
« progressed beyond .the old time medicines
and the cheap substitutes sometimes offer
ed but never accepted by the well-inform
ed.
Mr. H. A. Pan, Bowman, Ga., writes:
“One of my children was very delicate and
we despaired of raising it. For months
my wife and I could hardly get a night’s
rest until we began the use of Pitts’ Car
minative. We found great relief from the
first bottle.” Pitts’ Carminative acts
promptly and cures permanently. It is
pleasant to the taste, and children take it
•without coaxing. It is free from injurious
drugs and chemicals.
BURGEON MAJOR BEAMAN
Bays Quartermaster Refused to Fur
nish Wine for Sick-
Saxtiago de Cuba, Oct. 3 —Surgeon
Major Seaman, of the transport Ob
dam, declares that there will be a rep
etition of the awful horrors that have
characterized the voyage home of the
other transports if more sick soldiers
are sent on board the vessel for trans
portation to New York. He says that
when the Obdam left Porto Rico many
on board were sick, yet the first quar
termaster refused to furnish wine for
their use, but supplied them with bard
tack and canned food, saying he bad
no authority to do more. Surgeon
Seaman said he would hold bimreepon
eible should any deaths occur, and
finally succeeded in obtaining suitable
food for those who were ill. He asserts
that tbs ship has every man that she
can carry, and that if she reaches New
York without any deaths occurring
she will be lucky.
Hearing that a number of other
sick soldiers were to be sent aboard
her, the surgeon made a protest and
stated that he was informed by Gener
al Lawton that bis protest showed
lack of discipline and that an officer
bad been appointed to see bow many
additional men the Obdam could car
ry.
Surgeon Seaman saya be will cable
to Surgeon General Sternberg a pro
test disclaiming responsibility for
whatever may happen.

There was a traveling salesman for a
New York hardware house up here the
other day, and in the course of his conver
sation he let fall a bit of wisdom that I
believe is worth preserving. Said he: "If
you want to get a man Interested and to
draw him out, talk about something he
knows all about. Let me illustrate. I
went down home the other day and found
that my uncle from Philadelphia was
there. ‘I don’t believe he has a tongue in
his head,’ said my mother. ’He never has
a word to say, but sits about as glum as a
funeral.’ ‘What’s his business?’ said I.
‘What has be done all his life?’ ‘Nothing
but make bricks. ’
"With that I set out to open the old
man up. We took a walk. I turned the
conversation around to bricks and aired a
choice lot of misinformation. Unde look
ed dazed and then grew interested. He
began on the brick question, and as we
walked on he grew eloquent. He told me
more about bricks than you could find in
all the books. He piled up information
of various forms. He went into the his
tory of brickmaking from Babel to the
United States. He oozed statistics. He
kept it up all the while I was there and
would come up to my room at night to
talk bricks. Yes, it’s a good plan, but it
can be overdone I”—Hardware.

Fanner Truitt’i Conclusions-
One cl the bast known and moat
successful oottoo growers in the alate
isJJol. Geo. W. Truitt, of Troup coun
ty. This gentleman probably produces
more potton to the acre than any other
farmer in the stale, yet bo has coma to
the conclusion that southern farmers
cannot afford to raise cotton al present
prices. He says the farmers of Troop
county have realized this fact and that
they will hereafter boy spot cotton
and hold it until it gone up, ajtving
themselves the expense of buying go
ano, mules, rashions and paying labor.
He says they will sow their land in
grain and plant other food crops, lot
ting cotton severely alone.
Farmer Truitt says that in 1894,
when the cotton was so low, that bo
bad to carry a hog to the market with
each load of cotton. Now be says he
has to carry with each load a hog and
a steer, in order to realize enough to
pay out.
When a farmer like Mr. Truitt, who
has fine laud and produces so much
more cotton to the acre than the aver*
age farmer, comes to the conclusion
that be cannot raise cotton at a profit
at present prices, it is certainly time
for the average farmer, with poor land
to turn bis attention to some other
crops. Mr. Truitt will make two hun
dred bales of cotton from five hundred
acres of land, and if he cannot make
this crop at a profit, it is safe to say
that few other farmers in the south
can do it. The Enquirer Bun has al
ready given the farmers some advice
on this line, and we believe it will be
fruitful of good results next year. The
experience of our Troup county friend
is a striking object lesson, which the
farmers can study with profit —Co
lumbus Enquirer.
Beats the Klondike-
Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville,
Tex., has found a more valuable dis
covery than has yet been made in the
Klondike. For years be suffered un
told agony from consumption, accom
panied by hemorrhages; and was ab
solutely cured by Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds. He declares that gold is of
little value in comparison with this
mavelous cure; wosld have it, even if
it cost a hundred dollars a bottle.
Asthma, BiiHiCHMis aud wH throat
and lung affections are positively
■eured by Dr. King’s New Discovery
