THE COMMITTEE AT WOIK
Every Effort Will Bo Made to Secure
More Soldiers for Griffin-
A large number of our eitizena met
in the offices of the City National bank
yesterday morning to discuss the beet
plan of inducing the war department
to send other regiments to Camp Nor
then when the troops are moved south
for the winter.
The following committee was ap
pointed to write to Senator Bacon,
Congressman Bartlett and other prom*
inent men, and enlist their support in
the matter:
D. J. Bailey, chairman, II 11. Bass,
W. D Davis. M. D. Mithell, H. 0.
Burr, R H Drake, J. D. Boyd, B. R.
Blakely, 8. Grantland, Seneca Sawtell,
J. C.*Brooks, Eli Brewer, W. 0. Seeks,
D. Gleeener, R. T. Daniel and W. D.
Carbait.
This committee was also authorized
to solicit subscriptions to defrsy all ex
penses they might incur and io a very
short while raised about $125
The committed has gone to work
with a will, and will do all. in their
power to secure several regiments for
Camp Norihen
For Fine Sport-
Several citizens of this county are
making arrangements to have some
very fine sport bunting and fishing
next year. They have organized a
club known as the “Patrick Wild
Game Club,” and have rented about
3,000. acres of land in Cabins district,
which they will stock with all kinds
of wild game.
The land will be posted and all per
sons caught trespassing upon the same
will be prosecuted. The tract which
• bey have rented for five years lies
within the bounderies of Wolf creek
and Towaliga river on the north, .he
public road from the old Walker Mill
to A. J. Walden’s residence on the
east, the Jackson and Griffin public
road on the south, and MeDonough
and Griffin public road on the west.
This is the finest game reserve in
Georgia, and will afford -some rare
sport to the members, of the “Patrick
Wild Game Clab” and such of lleir
friends as may be invited to spend a
day in its fields or forests.
Today's Election-
The primary for nominating a
mayor, four aidermen and clerk and
treasurer for the city of Griffiu will be
held today.
The polls will be opened in the city
hall over police headquarters at 7
o’clock, sun time, and close at 6
o’clock.
While the candidates who have op*
position have worked unceasingly for
some lime, no ill feeling has been en
gendered, which has always been done
heretofore when the negroes were al
lowed to vote.
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.

“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

WILL COL CANDLER RESIGN!
» It Is Rumored He Will Give Up
His Commission-
t The Atlanta Journal of yesterday
t contains the following bit of gossip
I about the officers of the Third Georgia
t regiment:
• It io reported here and in Griffin
i that there io aome doubt whether Col.
John 8. Candler will resign the judg
> ship of the B&ne Mountain circuit or
, the colonelcy of regiment.
It io stated that Col Candler, on
i Saturday evaaing, after dress parade,
remarked to a gentleman that ho in
, tended to resign the colonelcy of the
. regiment. The gentleman through
, whom this information comes is not
, certain whether Col. Candler was io
, jest or in earnest, but there memo to
be no doubt that he made the remark.
The rumor that Col. Candler will
resign is quite current already and
seems to be credited in well informed
circles. In case Col. Candler resigns
the colonelcy of the Third regiment
will become a dazzling prize
The next in rank is Lieut. Col.
Robert L. Berner, who is said to ht-ve
devoted himself with great ardor to
the study of military tactics and art
and science of war.
The fact that Major R. E. L Spence,
third in rank, is a veteran of Santiago,
bearing a scar from the battle of the
let of July, and a graduate of West
Point military academy, makes him
an interesting factor.
There are already two vacant cap
taincies in the Third regiment, and
the filling of these and other places
made vacant by promotions will give
the governor a good many plums to
distribute. If to these a colonelcy is
added there would be a great flutter
in military circles.
This morning the governor received
a call from Major Marcus W. Beck,
Judge John T. Allen, member elect to
the legislature from Baldwin, Captain
Aaron J. Burr and Lieutenant Joseph
E. Pottle.
Major Beck was asked about the
report in regard to 1 ' Colonel Candler,
but said thaths was unable to give
any information on the subject.
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the pub
lic to know of one concern in the land
who are not afraid to be generous to
the needy and suffering. The propria
etore of Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds, have
given away over ten million trial bot
tles of this great medicine; and have
the satisfaction of knowing it has ab
solutely cured thousands of hopeless
cases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness
and all diseases of the Throat, Chest
and Lungs are surely cured by it. Call
on J, N Harris & Bon, and Carlisle A
Ward, Druggists, and get a trial bottle
free. Regular size 500 and Every
bottle guaranteed, or price refunded.
Another Spurgeon Story.
Here is another story about Spur
geon. He once passed a stone mason
who, after each stroke of bis hammer,
cursed and swore. Mr. Spurgeon laid
his hand on his shoulder, and looking
kindly at him, said: “You are an
adept at swearing. Can you pray?’’
With another oath be replied : “Not
very likely.” Holding up five sbiliogs
Mr. Spurgeon said if be proms
ise never to pray be would give him
that. “That is easily earned,” said
the man with a fresh oath, and put it
in bis pocket. When Spurgeon left
the man began to fee! a little queer.
When he his wife asked
him what ailed him, and he told her.
“It is Judas’s money I” said the man,
and on a sudden impulse, he threw it
into the fire. The wife found it, took
it out, and discovered who bad given
it to him. The man took it back to
Spurgeon, who conversed long with
him, warning him, and at length was
the means of saving him He became
an attached member of bis flock.
A Clever Trick.
It certainly looks like it, but there
is really no trick about it. Anybody
can try it who has Lame Back and
Weak Kidneys, Malaria or nervous
troubles. We mean he can cure him
self right away by taking Electric Bit
ters. This medicine tones up the
whole system, acts as a stimulant to
Liver and Kidneys, is a blood purifier
and nerve tonic. It cures Constipation,
Headache, Fainting Spells, Sleepless
ness and Melancholy. It is purely
i vegetable, a mild laxative, and restorea
the system to its natural vigor. Try
Electric Bitters and be convinced that
they are a miracle worker. Every bot
tle guaranteed. Only 50c a bottle at
J. N. Harris & Son’s and Carlisle A
Ward’s.

FEVER RAPIDLY SPREADING
Only One Section of Mississippi Not
Now Infected
Jackson, Miss., Oct. 10—The yel
low fever situation in Mississippi
grows repid’y worse, and unless ecol
weather comes soon,- nearly the entire
state bids fair to become infected.
Harrieton, in Jefferson county, has a
population of only 150 people, yet 19
cases developed there yesterday and
last night, Dr. Harrison being among
the number. #
Hattiesburg, in Perry county, now.
has 14 cases. In Jackson the little
yellow fever flags marking the pres
ence of infection increase rapidly.
There is only one notion of the city
without a case the disease, north Jack
son, and there are two or three suspi
cious cases there under surveillance.
Two new cases this morning added to
the record Both are on Capitol street,
Miss Minnie Gordon and Mr. Ed Har
bert.
The Storm Damage.
No reliable estimate of the damage
done by the two storms which have
visited the southern part of Georgia,
particularly tbe coast section, this fall
has yet been made, and it is not prob
able that one will be made that will be
at all satisfactory. In fact, it is not
possible to make an approximately
correct estimate, because of the im
mense territory covered by the storm
and tbe great variety of property de
stroyed.
Estimates vary as to the amount of
damage that was done to cotton. Tbe
chief reason is that tbe damage in
some localities was much greater than
in others. Each one who makes sn
estimate is guided by what be sees in
tbe territory within the scope of bis
observation, The same thing is true
in respect to naval stores. Some of
tbe turpentine farms were almost
wholly destroyed, while others suffered
very slight damage. Tbe majority of
them that were in tbe track of the
storm, it is safe to say, weie damaged
from leu to fifty per cent —that is,
from ten to fifty per cent, of the trees
on them were blown to tbe ground.
But there is no reliable data as to what
percentage of tbe turpentine forests
was struck by the storm. The lumber
men were hit pretty badly in many
localities, but they have not so much
to complain of as the turpentine far
mers.
Probably the rice planters are the
greatest sufferers by tbe storm. They
lost pretty nearly their entire rice
crops. Tbe outlook was bad enough
for them alter tbe first storm, but tbe
second storm completed tbe ruin of
the rice yet in tbe fields, and all of it
was there except tbe little that was
saved before tbe second storm came.
In addition to tbe losses which the
farmers, turpentine operators and mill
men suffered, there were heavy losses
in towns and villages and by tbe ship
ping interest. Tbe losses from the
storm will be felt through all that part
of the state where it was most severe
for a long time. Many of the sufferers
could ill afford tbe damage inflicted on
them, and it will take -them a
good while to get Into fairly comforta
ble circumstances again.—Savannah

Cushing Got Hie Spanish Twisted.
When Caleb Cushing was our min
ister near the court of Madrid says tbe
Pittsburg Dispatch, he had this little
experience, whisk he wee fond of tell
ing on himself Shortly after he had
become settled in his new home he
was bidden to a elate ceremonial
where be wae to be presented to the
King His knowledge of languages
was limited to English and French,
and being desirous of addieaelng tbs
sovereign in his own tongue he took
paios to “coach” for tbe occasion.
Several phrases were rehearsed until
he felt that be bad mastered them.
When tbe critical moment arrived be
saluted tbe King with great dignity,
epoke a few words in Spanish and
passed on.
“What did you say? ’ asked sn Eo
lith gentleman. “I spoke in Spanish,”
was the reply. “I said *1 cast myself
at your feet,’ which lam told io tbe
most respectful form to salute.” “Ab,
no!” corrected a Spaniard, who bad
been observed to smile at tbe ambas
sador’s greeting. “You are mistaken ;
you transposed your words and quite
altered tbe meaning.” VWhat did I
say ?” asked tbe American diplomat.
With a twinkle in hie eye the Span
iard made answer. “What you really
said was, *1 throw my heels at your
head.' ” But the King bad not be
trayedAjkoo much as the fluttering of
an eyelid, that anything unusual bad
occurred.
THE EXCELLENCE OF SWJP OF FIOS
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
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all tbe importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the Caufornia 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 Cat.i
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 acts 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
tbe Company—
