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. '-~ ■ n ■ 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 C. Hammock & Co., of Shelby, N. C. ( Trial bottles free at J. N Harris & ( Son’s and Carlisle & Ward's Drug Store. Regular size 50c and SIOO. .

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 . • I 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. LETTIE LIST.

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 is due not only to the originality and simpUdty of the combination, but also to tbe care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the Califobsia Fie Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy.
