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.

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. Ordinary’s Court- Ordinary Jas. A.

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.

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.
