THE DEATH LIST GROWS
northeastern Bliuard is Raging
- Again on the Coast-
80.-ton, No*. 30 —News of the lose
of the Boston and Portland Steam
Packet company's steamer Portland
off Cape Cod, and the death of more
than 150 persons, comprising the pas
sengers and crew of the steamer, and
news from hitherto unheard of ports
in Cape CoS; showing that at least a
score and a half vessels were wrecked
along that shore with loas of 12 lives,
has come as a dire climax to previous
reports of disasters resulting from Sat*,
urdey’s storm,
There are other places to be heard
from on both sides of the cape, which
have not been reached by train on ac
count of washouts and which are cut
off from other means of communica
tion by broken wires, blocked high
ways and shattered bridges.
Up to today, while the loss of life
cannot be estimated with any degree
of accuracy, it is known that more
than 200 people perished. This esti
mate is made on the basis of only one
from each crew reported missing, and
each of which would include at least
three, while the larger schooners would
have 7 or 8 men aboard.
Another heavy northeast snowstorm
started in here just before 7 o’clock
thia morning, and an hour later had
settled down in away that promised
several inches of enow at least. A
brisk wind of twenty miles an hour
was blowing from north-northeast.
These conditions will greatly interfere
with the work that is being done at
pointe where vessels were wrecked, as
> the sea is running high and the show
is thick on the water.
Ho Soldiers Yet.
A great many of our citizens were
of the opinion yesterday thst Camp
Northen was soon to be alive with sol
dier! again.
Wherjethia report originated we do
krow, unless some one seeing
Lieut. L. H. Kenan, who always super
intends work at Ca.np Northen, and
a large force of bands going out to the
camp ground, supposed be was here to
prepare for the coming of a regiment
or two of soldiers.
Lieut. Kenan was seen by —a Call
reporter, when he stated that no sob
diers would be sent here for some time
yet, that be knew of, and it is possible
Griffin may not be selected as a winter
camp at all.
He was sent to Griffin to clean up
Camp Northen after the departure of
tbe Third regiment, which will require
four or five days, after which he will
return to Atlanta
Lieut. Kenan said, when asked
about the refusal of tbe legislature to
make an appropriation for the state
militia, that there was no state militia
now, consequently no money is need
ed. The appropriation of $30,000 for
this year has not been, used, and it
will keep the militia up after it is or
ganised, until an appropriation will be
forthcoming.

really was during the civil war.

CAREFUL GREEK PARENTS.
Beys Were Escorted to School Ju»4
im Girls Are Sow.
The extraordinary care that the Gre
cian boy received in his formative years
made his moral training more effective
than that inculcated by the most careful
of modern parents. His general educa
tion, coupled with skillful and continu
ous physical instruction, produced a
moral cultivation very similar and fully
as strict as that the Christian father
deems necessary for his daughters.
A pedagogue, generally an old and
trusted slave, led the boys to school and
called for them after it closed, carried/
the books, looked out for the little boys,
kept the older ones from fighting and
falling into bad company and had a
general oversight of their conduct and
street form. He was by no means a
schoolmaster or even a private tutor, not
even being allowed to enter the school
room. Oftentimes ignorant in the ex
treme, he was chosen simply because of
his loyalty to the family and some
times, I fear, because he was unfit for
any otber occupation. Though tbe butt
of the boys’ ridicule as well as that of
the comic poets and low wits of the day,
he did an incalculable service ju prevent
ing vicious companionshipsand keeping
pure the minds of those intrusted to his
charge.
The child was never sentoff to board
ing school, but boys attended tbe day
school; town life prevailed. Besides,
that sentiment that zealously guarded
the boy’s purity with a pedadogue from
his sixth to bis sixteenth year could
brook do intermission of personal over
sight. Education was essentially pri
vate, the state having jurisdiction sipr
ply ever the moral and not the profes
sional, standingof the teacher. —Popu-

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 1, 1898.
WILL REORGANIZE MILITIA-
General Order Issued a Month Ago to
Take Effect
The organization of the state militia
will begin today, regardless of the Tact
that tbe appropriation committee of
tbe house has virtually cut out the
military money for two yearn Tbe
order sent out by Acting Adjutant
General Obear, on the first of this
month, will be strictly followed. The
order gave notice to alk the officers
now enlisted in the United States
volunteers who bold commissions in
the Georgia militia that they would
have either to resign their com tn is*
sions in the United S ates forces or
the state troops.
Some of tbe resignations of tbe
Georgia officers have been received.
Many of tbem will allow their com
missions 10 be withdrawn by the time
limit, and in the case of the officers in
the Second Georgia who wish to re*
main in the slate’s service the time
will be extended.
Major W. J. Kendrick, who holds a
commission in tbe Second Georgia
regiment, United States volunteers,
and also in the Fifth regiment Geor
gia volunteers, has eent his resigna
tion of tbe latter commission to Act*
ing Adjutant Obear. His resignation
has not been accepted yet and be may
be prevailed upon to remain in the
service, as it is now certain that he
will be mustered out of the service of
the United States in a few days. It
wae stated by Colonel Obear yesterday
that the time limit of tbe officers of
tbe Second Georgia would be extend*
ed, as they would be out of the gova
ernment service in a very short time.
Tbe resignation of Capt. Amos Bak
er, who is a captain with tbe Third
Georgia regiment, U. S volunteers,
and is also major i» the Fifth regi*
ment, has not been tendered. His
commission will probably be forfeited.
This will leave the Fifth regiment
without a major. Col. Candler contin*
uea in command.
A number of resignations of officers
in all parts of the state have been re*
ceived. There are many, however, who
have not been beard from and their
commissions will be forfeited after
Dec. Ist. A military man said last
night:
"While the lack of appropriation
may not materially effect tbe militia
of tbe state, it will prevent any en
campments for two years and I believe
the soldier boys will lose interest in
the militia Tbe troops are fairly well
equipped and their arms will remain
with them. No money will bs expend
ed in buying new arms and those com
panies which are not equipped will
,have to wait for at least two years.”—

Third Georgia Will Not Move Ito
Camp If the Weather Is Bad-
It baa not been definitely decided
whether tbe Third Georgia Regiment
wilt change its quarters today or not.
If tbe weather is good tbe chances
are that tbe work of moving may be
begun; otherwise it will not.
The new camping ground for tbe
Third Georgia is now in good shape,
the water supply having been put in
an 4 the company streets staked off.
The regiment, however, is not suffer
ing in its present quarters at the
Georgia car works, and there is no
neoeasi’.y for moving in bad weather.
Tb| regiment in fact is quite com
fortably quartered since its tents are
set*up under the sheds and no‘ rain
falls upon them. Tbe wind, too, is
shit off, and altogether tbe boys are
getting on finely.
It begins to look as if tbe Third
Georgia will soon be attached to tbe
Seventh Corps. No orders have been
received with regard to it in some
days. One of the staff officers when
asked about it yesterday said : “The
only definite thing with regard to the
stay here of the Third Gsorgia is tb.at
it $s indefinite.”—Savannah News.
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fie.Bvßup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far iq advance of all other laxatives,
aa it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
