THE THIRD GEORGIA
. WILL BE AMONG THE FIBBT TO
LAND IN CUBA
War Departmswt Has Imed a Gen
eral Order For the Movement
of Troops to Cuba-
Washington, Nov. 3.—The war de
partment baa leaned a general order
for tbo movement of troopa to Cuba.
The first troops will leave about No*
vember 22, and will comprise a brigade
nnder Brigadier General Carpenter.
Tbe brigade will be taken from tbe
Seventh army corps, and one of tbe
regiments ordered to go is tbe Third
Georgia.
Orders were issued this morning ,
mahing the Third Georgia regiment a
part of the brigade of Brigadier Gen
eral Carpenter. Tbo headquarters of
tbe brigade will be at Neuvita, which
is in tbe province of Puerto Principe,
on north coast.
Tbe quartermaster’s department
bas been ordered to furnish the Third
Georgia and the Eighth cavalry with
sixty days’ rations at once, and they
will proceed, immediately to Savan
nah, Ga., embarking on or before No
vember 22. It is understood that
I three transports have been ordered
there to take the regiment off. Tbe
Third Georgia and tbe Eighth cavalry
will be the first of tbe troops to go to
Cuba, but they will be rapidly follow
ed by other commands, for the presi
dent bas expressed his intention of
putting fifty thousand soldiers in tbe
island of Cuba as rapidly as it can be
done.
The distinction given the Third
Georgia in being sent first is consider
ed a great one here. Neuvitas, being
in the north part of Cuba, is consider
ed a particularly healthy place. It is
not likely that tbe troops will arrive at
their destination before the first of
December, and tbe officers and men of
the Third Georgia oan look forward to
t a pleasant service.

„ Van Wyck Will Win-
The Washington Post, a very con
servative paper, declares that Mr.
Roosevelt will be defeated in New
York, unless be comes down to tbe
a majority of more than one
hundred thousand.
The Post gives the figures upon
which this belief is based. Mayor
Van Wyck received 233,752 voles, of
a total of 501,957 cast in Greater New
York. The remaining vote was divid
ed as follows: Seth Low, 146,821;
General Tracy, 100,998; Henry George,
Jr., 20,396. The Post says that Judge
Van Wyck will get the vote cast for
bis brother, and the vote cast for
George except a small per cent. It
also says he will get cent or
more of tbe votes oast for Seth Low.
* To be exact, tbe Post declares that
Van Wyck will get 233,572 votes that
were cast for his brother, 47,000 of the
votes cast for Low and 17,000 of tbe
George votes. This is a fair estimate
according to the Post, and Roosevelt
to overcome Van Wyck’s majority in
Greater New York must have at least
one hundred thousand majority in the
state outside of tbe city. Few. con
servative politicians believe that
Roosevelt «vHI have such a majority
putside of tbe city.

her she was a hopeless victim of con

POSSESSION OF PHILIPPINES
Would Not Compensate This Govern
ment For Its Outlay
It is admitted that when our com
missioners started for Paris their in
structions did not include a demand
for a whole of the Philippines. They
were to demand tbe island of Luxon, if
circumstance- for doing so were favor
able, and if they were not, then they
were to demand only the city and bay
of Manila
Tbe recent visit of the President to
tbe West satisfied him that public
sentiment was in favor of demanding
tbe whole of the Philippines, and so,
according to our dispatches yesterday,
a demand bas been made by our peace
commissioners for all of tbe islands.
Is not the President "mistaken in
bis view that it is tbe will of the peo
ple that all of the Philippines be de
manded? We are inclined to think
that he is. Whether be is or not will
become apparent when the treaty
comes before tbe Senate for ratifica
tion. From tbe tone of the newspa*
pers in different parte of the country a
big fight will bo made on tbe treaty if,
as now seems probable, it is agreed
that Spain shall be paid $40,000,000 to
relinquish her claim to the islands. It
is not stated, of course, that we are to
pay Spain that sum. It is stated that
we are to assume that part of the Span
ish debt that was incurred in making
improvements in the islands. But it
amounts to the same thing. We are
to pay out $40,000,000, and Spain is to
get that sum.
But what are we to get from the
islands that will compensate us for
outlay? And it must not be forgot
ten that tbe sum we pay Spain will be
only the beginning of our Philippine
expenses. We shall have to maintain
a big army there and a large adminis
trative force.
It .will cost us $20,000,000 s year at
least to govern tbs islands, and if the
uatives should prove to be rebellious,
as they likely would, it would take
$100,000,000 a year, under our extrav*
agant way of doing things. And
what are we going to get from the
Philippines? Under tbe most favora
ble conditions the revenues do not
amount to more than $10,000,000 a
year.' And they will not begin to
amount to that unless we adopt
Spain’s methods of' collecting them.
We cannot very well do that, and we
shall find it rather difficult, if our
purpose is to extend our trade to the
far East, to put in force our own tariff
laws. England is already intimating
that she will expect us to adopt the
"open door” policy. In tbe event of
our refusal we shall find our oppor*
tunit.ii* for increasing our trade in the
far East very limited. It looks, there
fore, as if the possession of the Philip
pines meant an immense increase in
our annual expenses without any very
great increase in our income from our
new possessions.
Naturally, tbe President and his ad
visors would like to go down in his
tory as having added tbe immense
Philippine territory to the United
States. Has not this desire something
to do with the opinion which the
President bas reached that tbe people
of tbe entire country are insisting that
the Philippines shall be ours?—Sa

WILL GO TO CUBA.
First, Second and Seventh Amy Corps
To do Garrison Duty-
Washixoton, Nov. 3—On the ba»io
\>f a postponement of the military oc
cupation of Cuba (or about a month
longer, the war department has already
begun general preparations fur em
barking the troops for the island.
Within a few days orders will bo issu
ed, directing tbe government fleet of
transports to assemble al Savannah,
where nearly or quite all of the troops
will embark.
It is proposed to have these vessels
arrive tat tbe port of intended embark
ation a few days before the first of
December, in order that there may be
no delay in sending out of first regi
ments on tbe first day of tbe month,
according to the declared intention of
the administration. ;
Plans for garrisoning Cuba received
some encouragement today, when Sec
retary Alger was informed by the
Spanish Transatlantic company of
their having the, contract for trans
porting tbe Spanish forces and that
forty ships were about to leave Spain
for Cuba, capable of transporting tbe
Spanish soldiers to Spain very rapidly.
It was said by officials at tbe war
department today that three army
corps, the First, tbe Second, and the
Seventh, would be employed in garri
son duty in Cuba.
Free Libraries.
It is proposed by the convention of
Georgia librarians in session in Atlanta
last week to petition tbe legielatnre to
establish, at the public expense, free
libraries in different parts of tbe state.
Should such a measure be introduced,
we trust that tbe general assembly
will promptly reject it, says the Mari
etta Journal.
The state treasurer in bis published
statement, estimates that the tax rate
this year will be higher* than it has
ever been in tbe history of the state.
Considering the low price of cotton we
believe that our taxes are as heavy as
tbe most of our people can bear, with*
out this super-added expense. We
wlieve tbe scheme to be unjust in
principle—that is, unless a library is
established in every city, town, village
hamlet or crossroads in tbe state, a
thing clearly impracticable—as many
people who would be taxed to support
tbe libraries could not receive tbe ben
fit of them.
It is far more important that chil
dren should be given tbe means to add
to their store of knowledge—a good
common school education—than that
books, many of them of doubtful utili
ty, should be placed before them. Be
sides, general reading is a matter of
taste, and to indulge in it would, to
many persons, afford no pleasure
whatever. They should not therefore
be taxed for tbe benefit of others.
Books are now very cheap, and he who
reads should pay the bill.
In order that every child in the
state may have tbe foundation upon
which to build any sort of an educa
tion he may desire, we advocate tbe
withdrawal of the appropriations from
all tbe colleges in Georgia (except tbe
School of Technology and the Indus
trial School) assisted by the state, and
devoting these sums to tbe public
schools. Only a few can attend the
bigherer institutions of learning; tbe
many must depend upon tbe common
school. Tbe colleges (except the Tech
nological and Industrial) do not fit a
young pereqn for tbe duties of life; tbe
common school provides him or her
with all that is necessary to be known
in order to transact business success
fully.

Greensboro, Qa, writes as follows:

a single instance where it failed to give

it always make permanent customers. We
