Paris, Otrt. 27.—The Spanish peace have accepted a negß live view of the United States coni' miaafr —** towards the proposed as sumption by the United Slates of the SOubaa debt. The American commissioners have firmly but courteously declined to assume for the United Slates the entire or joint responsibility for the Spanish financial conditions and the Spanish commissioners have finally abandoned the effort and have agreed that the Coban article of the protocol shall, without conditions, have a place |n the ultimate treaty of peace. It was not until Monday that they became absolutely convinced that the Americana, bad, from the outset of their refusal to accept the Cuban debt, meant exactly what they said. Spain agrees to relinquish sover eignty over and claim to Cuba without either terms or conditions. All differences, if any exited, regard ing Porto Rico and the selection of the island of Guam, were also arranged by mutual underaiandings, and the commissioners found themselves well nigh touching the Philippine question, which will be taken up next week. How Two Soldiers Died- “Well,” said one of the returned veterans, “we lay there in Bloody Bend that Friday morning about four hours, say fifty yards this side of Bloody Bend, but it was plenty hot enough. On one side of me was a fellow wbo’d been telling us the night before how be was sure he'd be killed. I watched him wheu we started in fir ing, and I could see be was badly scared—bis gun wobbled a lot every time be tried to shoot—but pretty soon be braced up and aimed her steady as a tree; didn't seem to mind the bullets at all. Then—sip—one caught him in the right arm and swung him round, aud—sip—another caught him plump in the heart aud down he went. I opened hie black shirt and saw the mark. “ ‘No use monkeyin’ with him,’ said the lad on my other side—l called him Dutcby ; 'he’s got what he expected. Let’s lay low lor a while and cool our guns off.’ "I touched my gnn barrel, and it was steaming hot, for we’d been let ting ’em go pretty fast, so I stretched out flat in the grass; and the lad he stretched out beside me. “ 'l’ll lake a chew, Dutcby,’ said I, 'if you’ll throw it over.’ So be threw me bis pouch and I took a chew. “ 'Listen to them balls,’said Dutcby; ‘they fsns me and they sings to me, but that’s all. I ain’t a*going to be bit’ “'How do you know that?’pays I. “ 'Easy enough’ says he; ‘there’s too many folks a prayin’ for me up in Connecticut-good folks.’ “Those were his very words, and then he got up on his knee and began firing the fresh load in the magazine. I don’t believe he’d two shots when a bullet smashed him between the eyes, and that was the last of Dutcby. After that I worked there alone between two dead men, and listened to the balls talk. Once I went over like a log, and thought they’d fixed me, but it was only a ball that bad struck my cartridge belt and glanced off It bent two cartridges, though, out of shape, and made me sick at the stomach. As ter that I didn’t like to look at Dutch, for the inside of his head was all over bis face, so I threw some grass on him and about two hours later threw some more grass on him. You soon get enough of a dead man down there, if the sun is hot.”—Leslie’s Weekly. | An Enterprising Druggist. There are few men more wide awake and enterprising than J Jf.

The day’s session was brief, and tbie 1 is indicative that a serious crisis has arisen. ' It is learned on good authority that 1 the Spaniards think the American 1 government is under a misapprehen sion respecting Spain’s policy. The Madrid government don’t want to dilly-dally, but merely wishes to obtain a sufficient concession to ena ble Spain to live honestly and pay her debte. The Spanish commissioners wish to avoid the absolute ruin of the country, hence their persistency in contesting all vital points. Spain has at last abandoned her at titude of claiming a concession in Cuba and Porto Rico, as a matter of right and has simply thrown herself on her conquerer’s tncrey. Tbe Spanish commissioners did this ait today’s eeaeion, acting under in structions from Madrid. w They pointed out that only by some relief from the Cuban debt could the complete ruin of Spain be averted. An adjournment was taken for 48 hours, to enable the Americans to communicate with the Washington government. To Hold, the Second Regiment- Senator Bacou left Macon yesterday for Washington to endeavor to induce tbe war department to bold the Second regiment, Col. Oecas J. Brown com manding, ip service. Col. Brown has been in this city on this business for a day or two. Tbe Telegraph, some days ago, outlined tbe plan of tbe proposed consolidation of tbe members of tbe.First and Sec ond who were willing to stay in Uncle Sam’s service. It is believed that two battalions can be obtained from the First and one from tbe Second. If Senator Bacon ehall succeed in his undertaking, there will be a good deal of rejoicing among those soldiers —both officers and men—who are anx ious to do real duty.—Macon Teles graph.

It seems that an officer in one of the Tennessee com panies, a very shy young man, brought letters with him when his regiment came to the coast and presented him self one evppiug at tbe Y“P Ness avenue resilience. As he was tbe son of a well known public man and a member of an old family his hostess exerted herself to entertain him. “We should be glad to have the pleasure of your company Friday at dinner,” she said as he was leaving; “tbe Hawaiian commissioners are to be with us.” Friday came and the commission, Shortly before the hour for dinner tbe butler excitedly entered tbe room* “They’s a regiment o’ soldiers, mum, outside.” “No doubt in honor of the commissioners; I will tell them.” Just then the lieutenant was announced. “When you are ready,” he said, “I will have tbe men march to their places iq formation.” “Why,” said the lady, “what men!” “It’s my regiment,” was the reply, “all but ten and they’re very sorry, but they couldn’t come.” ——— ■ I ■ ■ ■■ CASTOR IA I For Infants and Children. ; The KN Ym Hill Always Bwgtt Bears the ’ Signature of t >y The KiM You Haw Always BwgM Sgaatus z 7 GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER £B, 1818. A COUNTY FAIR. a What It Would Do For Spalding County. e Editor Call:—Why do not the 1 young men of this city and county put their shoulders to the wheel and gel ’up* county fair, to be bold some time 1 next month! Spalding has as fine farming lands 1 aa can be found in the state, and the 1 products of our factories are shipped • to foreign countries, so lets get up a fair thet wilt ebow tbe State what we ‘ are doing. • Several counties io Georgia have ‘ made successes of (hype fairs, and sorely Spalding, with her auperior ad vantages, can do as much. ’ Young and old men of Spalding > county, lets get together and resolve to I bring up the old county to a belter producing point than it is. Other eounties are having fairs and good times, and why not keep up with ’ them, if not take tbe lead. Os course 1 tbie cant be done in a single season but if we have these fairs regularly 1 we can finely show other counties that wo are able to compare products with any of them. ? The great need of tbe times in a ' producing way is to not depend on an all cotton crop, and if we will put our ' shoulder to the wheel we can by de -1 grees develop new life on the farm 1 and in factories. Every grocer and hardware merchant sends out of the County for some article that is menus featured elsewhere and made of wood. By a email outlay of capital we 1 could start small industries right here 1 in Spalding county. For there ia enough water power around Griffin to run all tbe machinery that would be 1 needed. ' There was lots of good fruit lost thia last season on account of the insuffi cient supply of baskets and crates, all of which could be made in Spalding county. Not only these, but numerous articles made of wood have to be shipp ed here every week in the yesr, and every purchaser says the freight tn tbe price, that should be saved by making these wooden goods right here. All of these little things added to* gether, will help our trade and county ' and if we can have some concert of action, this county will come to the front in the way of a manufacturing and producing county. We otfgbt to raise more chickens, ' tur'zeys, geese, ducks, pigeons, etc., 1 and not have our merchants ship such \ goods to us from distant counties, , thereby paying exhorbitant express rates. So lets get together and select a day ’ and suitable place to bold a fair in No , vember; and let every man and wo i man bring tbe finest and best of what ' they have raised and place it on ex* [ hibit If you are excelled, it will stim ulate you to exert yourself to do better next time, and in the course of a year or so we will have something to take ' the place of 4or 4| cents cotton. .
