SENATOR BACON’S WORK
The Second Georgia Will Not Be
Mustered Out-
Washington, Oct. 28 —Senator Ba*
coo, of Georgia, today obtained the
content of tbe president to the Second
I Georgia volunteer regiment remaining
io tbe United States service.
Senator Bacon was accompanied by
Colonel Oscar J. Brown and Captain
Wilcoxon, of tbe Second Georgia.
Tbe First and Second Georgia regi
ments wire ordered mustered ont
some lime ago, but a large number of
. men in both regiments preferred to
remain in tbe service
Tbe order of the president will allow
tbe men of both regiments who want
to go ont to do go, while those who
wish to remain can go in the Second.
Il is thought there will be mere men
than vacancies in tbe regiment.
Attempt Highway Robbery-
Yesterday morning Chief of Police
E. I. Ison received a telegram from
Forsyth stating that a desperate negro
from that vicinity was being pursued
by tbe sheriff and a posse, and was
headed for Griffin. Chief Ison at once
notified his men, but no one answering
to the description given in the' mes
sage was seen.
The negro went to the home of Mr.
James M Smith and demanded of bis
wife tbe surrender of all the money in
tbe house. The negro was driven
away by tbe alarm given by Mrs.
Smith.
If caught be will be taught a lesson
not soon to be forgotten.
War Taxes Likely to Remain-
Secretary of tbe Treasury Gage gives
but little hope that the war taxes will
soon become a thing of the past. As
be views tbe future the expenses of
tbe country must be greater than ever
before. The billion dollar Congress
will be outdone. Expenditure on tbe
navy, both in construction of new ves
seis and in the increased cost of main
tenance, and on tbe army with its
probably trebled strength, will necessi
tate appropriations that will surpass
tbe maximum set by the Republican
House several years ago. Tbe contem
plated expansion of territory will add
many millions to the annual budget
of expenses. The income from the
“colonies" will not for years, perhaps
never, reach tbe outlay caused by their
possession.
Secretary Gage is aware of the un
popularity of internal revenue taxes of
tbe character required by the recent
war. Business men and the public
generally, while willing to pay them
to meet current expenses of the war,
will find them extremely objectionable
if collected for many years after the
war has passed into history. Ten years
after tbe close of the civil war similar
taxes were in force, and some were not
removed until several years later than
that. Tbe expenses of that war, con
tinuing for four years, and those of the
little brush with Spain are hardly to
be considered together. If the income
from the new taxes averages as stated,
110,000,000 a month, the receipts in
less than a year would be adequate to
meet tbe financial demands caused by
tberwar which were not otherwise pro
vided for. When it is remembered that
$200,000,000 of bonds were issued to
defray tbe expenses of the war, the
actual amount needed from the addi
tional taxes to meet all the immediate
requirements would probably be but
$100,000,000, or tbe gross returns from
the new taxes for ten months.
There ia but little consolation to be
derived by business interests from re
cently expressed views of Secretary
Gage. As he sees tbe outlook, tbe ex
penses of the government must rapid
ly increase. “Fighting establishments
post money in proportion to their
else,” say he, “and tbe colonial system
will call fur heavy expenditures. It
oost’s mbre obvionJy to run a large
machine than a small one.”
Tbe colonial expansion policy is
likely to prove a costly luxry. The
people must foot the bills, no matter
What their proportions.

DEATH’S DEADLIEST BACILLUS.
Malaria Has More Victime Than Any
Other Disease Which is Known.
Malaria claims more victims than
any other disease The annual aggre
gate runs into several millions A
scientific commission has been ap
pointed to investigate the mode of
dissemination of malarial poison.
Tbe poison is, in fact, a minute par
asite that attaches itself to tbe blood
corpuscles. Seen under a microscope,
it rembles at first a fugus fixed to ths
round cell of the corpuscle
The fugus eats its way into the
healthy cell and finally leaves it sbriv
eled and bloodless. Hence tbe pallor
so noticeable in persons that have
suffered much from this disease; the
corpuscles that give color to the blood
have been largely destroyed by the
malarial parasite.
Tbe life history of tbe bacillus after
it has entered the human frame is well
known to doctors.
Much is known of its previous histo
ry. But a link is missing. How is its
transfer from the soil to man accom
plished? This the commission is to
investigate.
There are many theories. The pois
on is believed to enter the system both
in the air respired by the lungs and in
the food and water taken in by the
stomach
<■ Water drinking is regarded in many
malarious counties as tbe most fre*
quent form of infection and it is the
practice to boil all water before imbib
ing it in order to kill the germs.
At night, over low lying valleys, a
heavy mist will rise, which seems in
very truth to be a deadly miasma.
This white shroud of malarial fog has
gained for many a valley in many a
land tbe ill-omened appellation of tbe
valley of death.
No one who has experienced such
an atmosphere, with its sticky smell of
rotting, vegetation and a ghostly, close
clinging chill which penetrates
through the warmest garments, will
ever forget it. A London fog is genial
weather compared to it.
Tbe latest theory is that malaria is
disseminated by mosquitoes. These
plaguing insects rise from the swamps
and lowlying lands, and it is contend
ed that they carry in their bodies a
germ of malaria which they deposit
m the flesh of tbe human creature
whom they delight to torment. This
theory is to be carefully inquired into.
Malaria ravages every land within
tbe tropics, and many in more teper
ate climates. Hitherto no systematic
investigation of the causation of tbe
fever has been conducted.
And yet no greater boon could be
given to the world than a safeguard
against a disease which not only
brings death to millions, but where it
does not actually kill leaves behind it
misery and wasted lives.—London

How to Look Good.
Good looks are really more than skin
keep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If
tbe liver is inactive, you have a bilious
look; if your stomach is disordered,
you have a dyspeptic look; if your
kidneys are affected, you have a pinch
ed look Secure good health, and you
will surely have good looks. “Electric
Bitters” is a good Alterative and Ton
ic. Acts directly on the stomach, liver
and kidneys, purifies tbe blood, cures
pimples, blotches and boils, and gives
a good complexion. Every bottle guar

In Lincoln J. Carter and Hal Reid’s
new and beautiful success “Knobs O’
Tennessee" tbe President is seen in
bis private office in tbe White House
at Washington talking to a one armed
Union Veteran—a moonshiner—who
has come to plead for the pardon of
his wife and child convicted of moon
shining.
Touched by the simple pathos of the
mountaineer and finding that tbe vet
eran’s arm was lost at Gettysburg tbe
pardon is granted.
Mr. Carter after much research at
last found an actor so near tbe Presi
dent’s double that when tbe curtain
rises—the hoqn at once breaks into
obeere—as tbe quiet little giant oltbe
United States is seen in his office at
work.
There is ample chance in this story
and the situation of it in tbe “Knobs’*

The Race Issue in North Carolina-
Every thoughtful and humane citi
zen, from one end of the country to
the other, will be appalled by tbe
prospect now discernible in North
Carolina. It is no longer possible to
believe that tbe clamor of tbe whites
is merely a revival of tbe old Demo
cratic trick to catch votes and ride
into official place and perquisites. On
tbe contrary, we are confronted with
tbe admissions cf prominent republi
cans to tbe effect that tbe question is
far deeper and more vital—that it is,
in fact, a question of simple civilisa
tion. Tbe issue involves tbe preser
vation of enlightened institutions, of
honest government, of law and order,
of the integrity of tbe Caucasian race.
It is an issue that can have but oue
termination. —Washington 4*oeL

Fate of the French.
In the impending struggle between
Great Britain and France it takes no
prophet to foretell tbe result in case
war is actually resorted to for the set
tlement of.the differences between tbe
two countries. Tbe people of Great
Britain have every advaotkpe and the
contest will be of short duration.
Governed by wise and well adminis
tered laws, the hearts of the British
people are cemented together with ties
of brotherhood and comradeship that
render them almost invincible by flood
or field. Theirs is today the strongest
government, in many respects, on tbe
face of tbe globe.
Ou the other hand, tbe fickle French
populace can never be depended upon
in an emergency. While war is going
on abroad, there is strong probability
of internal dissensions at borne, and a
people divided among themselves con
stitute an easy prey to the foreign foe.
The public has not got over tbe
Dreyfus affair yet, and it io likely to
become a potent factor in the fate of
the French republic. It was a piece
of military despotism that consigned
Captain Dreyfus to exile on Devil’s is
land, and tbe people will not submit
long to tyranny of any sort in a nation
so enlightened as the French.
A disunited people will cut a sorry
figure io combat with a nation whose
every citizen has an abiding faith in
teaatrength and integrity of his gov*
ernment. England is today more
democratic than France is republican,
so far as tbe right* of her citizens are
concerned, and should war be declared
it will take but a short while to dem
onstrate tbe superiority of tbe loyal
legions of Britain over tbe dissatisfied
squadrons of Gaul,—Brunswick Times.
