Toll No. 88.
CAVDLBB RESIGNS.
Will Bwume Ku Judicial Position la
Stone Mountain Circuit.
Colonel John 8. Candler baa re
oigoed »be colonelcy of the Third
Georgia regiment, and will continue
to preride in tbe conrta of tbe Stone
Mountain circuit.
The resignation was forwarded to
Adjutant General Corbin last Bstur»
day.
Colonel Candler’s resignation leaves
tbe regiment without a colonel and
makes one more vacancy for the gov
ernor to fill. The filling of this va
cancy may create a number of other
vacancies and promotions in tbe Third
regiment, and its officers and their
friends will be on the qui vive . until
the matter is settled.
There is a great desire to know who
will succeed Colonel Candler. Lieu
tenant Colonel Berner is tbe next in
command, and Major Robert E. Lee
Spence the third in command, a lieu
tenancy.
Lieutenant Colonel Berner, the
next in command of the Third regi
ment, and naturally in line of promo
tion, has made a fine officer and dur
ing tbe time of bis service, has devot
ed himself with ardor to tbe work.
Some have thought the governor
would appoint Colonel Oscar J. Brown
whose regiment is under order to mus
ter out on the 3d of November, *is a
legal difficulty in tbe way. Tbe Geor
gia law allows only one United States
army officer to a regiment where the
officers are appointed by the governor,
Col Brown would not be eligible with
out resigning bis position in tbe Units
ed States army.

Discovered By a Woman-
Another great discovery has been
made, and that 100, by a lady in this
country. “Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
♦ stopd its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death ,
seemed imminent. For three months
shd coughed incessantly, and could
not sleep. She finally discovered away 1
to reeovery, by purchasing of us a bot
tle of Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, and was so much re
lieved on taking first dose, that she *
slept all night; and with two-bottles, i
baa been absolutely cured. Her name i
is Mrs Luther Litz.” Thus writes W. t

The Wedding Ring.
“Tbe weddifig ring is made of gold
of the purest quality, signifying how
noble and durable is our affection,” (
writes Frank H. Vizetelly of “The
Romance of tbe Finger Ring" io Tbe j
Woman’s Home Compauion for Sep- i
tember. “Next, in form the ring is j
round, a symbol of eternity, implying i
that our regard shall be without end. 1

Why is this golden circlet worn on (
the third finger of the left hand? Be- i
cause among the ancients it was .
thought that there was a vein in that i
finger that came directly fiom the
heart and the custom has survived '
tbe ages and comes down ti us from
remote antiquity. But there are oth
er reasons why it should be worn on
this finger. Because, being a finger
least used, it may be least subject to
be worn out, aud because its distinct
purpose is that it is the visible, lasting
token of a solemn covenant which
must never be forgotten. It has been
suggested also that the form being
round and without end, implies that
mutual love shall flow from one to
the other, as in a circle, aud that con
tinually and forever.
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

Negro Invasion of the North-
The invasion of the North by negro
labor has begun. It has been trium
phal, apd it will go on. The negroes
can underwork the whites because
they are willing to live in away that
no self respecting white man would.
Northern employers will use tbe
cheapest labor they can get, and the
negroes, as soon as they find the field
open for them there, will go forward
to occupy'it. Tbe movement north
ward has commenced, and it will con
tinue. This Southern invasion of the
North is going to be something very
feriooe.-—New Orleans Picayune.
BATTERIES MUSTERED OUT-
There Was Great Rejoicing When the
Men Were Discharged.
Light batteries A and B, Georgia
volunteers, were mustered out of ser
vice yesterday after having faithfully
performed every duty imposed on
them while iu tbe army.-
At an early hour in tbe morning
orders were given to strike tents sod
pack all government property, which
was immediately turned over to Capt.
Tripp, of tbe regular army, who with
Capt. Frederick, also ok tbe regular
army, bad been detailed as mustering
out officers.
Each man was paid up io full and
given an honorable discharge after
which be was at liberty to go and do
as he pleased.
Great rejoicing was tbe prevailing
sentiment among these would be war
riors, who claimed that they joined to
fight Spain and now that the war was
over they desired to return home.
At 3 o’clock in the afternoon moat
of battery A left on a special train
over the Southern for Atlanta, their
home, where they will be entertained
(this evening by tbe ladies of that city.
Battery B, which was tbe last to be
mustered out, left last night for Sa
vannah regretting the fact that tbe
war ended before they got a shot at
the enemy, though protid to know
they did all required of them.
The Third regiment is preparing
for the coming winter, and everything
possible for tbe comfort and heath
fulness cf the soldiers during the
winter months is being furnished by
the government. -
Heavy overcoats, underwear, shoes,
etc., weie issued yesterday from tbe
quartermasters department.
It is not known whether this regi
ment will remain here very long or
not and until some definite informa
tion is received regarding the future
of the regiment nothing will be done
to prevent tbe cold from penetrating
the tents.

Fate of a Spanish Spy.
One of the Ninth cavalrymen (colored)
tells this story of a Spanish spy:
"One day a Cuban boy comes to de
guard and say he done see a man in a tree
not far from de camp. De boy and a cou
ple of sentries goes over to de tree and.
palls for de man to surrender and come
down. When de man in de tree see de sen
tries, he t’row up his han’s and say he sur
render. Den he come down, and dey takes
him to General Young. General Young,
he make him take off all his clo’ec, and
dey search ’em. All de while dey woe
searohin his clo’es he stood dere as white
as yo* oollah. Finally dey fin* passes in
his clothes, Cuban passes firs* an den
Spanish. Dat was enough. General Young
turn him over to de Cuban government.
"De Cubans take him out a little ways
and lay him down on hla back. Dey was
about 100 of us a-watchln ’em. De num
never made no resistance and never utter
ed a soun’, but he kep’ gettin whiter an
whiter. Den one of de Cubans hoi’ his
head and three or four sit on his body. Den
one of dem draw his machete across de
man’s throat. Dat was all.”—New York
Commercial Advertiser.
A Lost Baronet. r
The story of Sir Arthur Curtis’ disap
pearance on the way to the Klondike reads
ike a romance. The party left Ashcroft,
B. C., In April last and from the start
encountered the roughest weather. When
but a few days out, ten of the pack of ani
mals broke away. Sir Arthur joined tn
the chase after them. Since his departure
from camp nothing has been seen or heard
of him, although the remaining members
of the party spent nine days searching for
traces. It is from one of these, who has
returned to Vancouver, that news of the
ill fated expedition was learned. Sir Ar
thur, the son of a. brave sailor, who WM
among those honored for saving Spanish
lives after the bombardment of Gibraltar,
was only 41 years of age.—Critic.
Carlyle and. His Clathes.
Some Interesting anecdotes of Carlyle
are oontritated to a contemporary by a
lady who dace staid in the same house
with Mrs. Carlyle. The writer says: "Mr.
Carlyle was with his relatives in Scotland.
Letters came from him every day, and they
were read with eagerness. One of those
letters contained a small pattern of tweed
cloth, which she (Mrs. Carlyle) showed
me, saying, ‘He wants my optaiop on this
and to know whether I advise him to have
a suit made of it. ’ Generally, she said,
such matters were entirely settled by her,
eo much to that when the tailor's man
camo to try on a frock coat he always ask
ed for her decision. Turning to her, bo
would say, ‘Should you like a velvet col
lar, madam?* ”

Dimiuimmnium
Filled His Pockets With Gold Pesetas
From • Spanish Warship.
A Washington dispatoh to tho New
York Herald says: Officers returning
from duty with tbe vessels stationed
in southern Cuban waters tolls an in
teresting story of tbe discovery of a
treasure chest on board tbe sunken
Spanish cruiser Almirants Oquendo.
For tbe purpose of recovering as
many valuables from tbe cruisers as
possible, wreckers have been inspect
ing the sunken Spanish ships and div
ers bad been sent below decks to save
any article of value that might be
found. Ono of the divers, who bad
been working below dock on the Almi.
rants Oquendo, suddenly disappeared,
and, it is said, was arrested in Santiago
de Cuba, charged with drunkenness.
Tbe man bad a great many gold pese
tas in bis pockets, and when question*
ed, admitted that he found tbe gold in
a chest on board tbe Oquendo.
The information Was furnished to
Capt. 0. F. Goodrich, commanding the
Newark, who at once communicated it
to Lieut..G. P. Blow, who bad special
charge of tho wrecking operations on
board the treasure ship. Ho directed
a diver to enter the forepeak of tbe
Oquendo, where the cheat was lying,
according to the deserter’s story, but
for four days tbe search apparently
went unrewarded. Tbe chest was fins',
ly brought to the surface, but it was
evident that some of its contents were
missing. Tbe government secured,
however, $48,250 in gold pesetas, and a
large quantity of notes of the bank of
Spain, which have been sold in New
York and turned into the treasury.

Now Men Act When Shot-
I saw many men shot, says Edward
Marshall in Scribner’s Every one
went down in a lump without cries,
without jumping up in the air, with
out throwing up tbeir bands. They
just wont down in clods io tbe grass.
It seemed to me that the terrible thud
with which they struck the earth was
mote penetrating than the sound of
guns. Some were only wounded;
some were dead.
There is much that is awe inspiring
about the death of soldiers on tbe
battlefield. ‘Almost all of us have seen
men or women die, but they have died
in their carefully arranged beds with
doctors daintily boarding tbe flicker
ing spark ; with loved ones clustering
about them. But death from disease
is lees awful than death from bullets.
On the battlefield (here are no delicate,
scientific problems of strange microbes
to be so'ved. There is no petting, no
cdoding—nothing. Nothing, nothing
but death Tbe man lives be is strong,
he is vital, every muscle in him is at
itk fullest tention, when suddenly,
"chug,” he is dead That “chug” of
tbe bullets striking tbe flesh io nearly
always plainly audible. But bullets
which are billited, so far as I know, do
not sing on their way. They go sil
ently grimly, to their mark, and the
mab ia lacerated and torn or dead. I
did not boar tbe bullet shriek that
killed Hamilton Fisb; I did net bear
tho bullets shriek which struck the
many others who were wounded while
I was near them; I did not hear the
bullet shriek that struck mo.
THE UCEUCNCE OF SYMJP OF FMiS

to tbe care and skill with which it is

true and original remedy. As tbe
genuine Byrup of Figs is manufactured
