Work of Commiaaionera at Faria Bap
idly Nearing Ita Completion.
Paris, Dec. I.—Tbe work of tbe
peace oommlaaione is proceeding rap*
idly and ualeea there iaan unexpected
bitch, tbe treaty will be aigned within
a week.
Tbe 'commiaaiona did not bold a
joint session today. It waa ascertained
at 2 p. m. that the preliminary clerical
work waa not completed. It waa
therefore agreed by tbe presidents to
defer tbe next meeting until 2 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon
Advices from the Philippine ialanda
aay the insurgents mere have
decided not to recognize the
cession of tbe ialanda to the
United Stales and that they will resist
to tbe last. It ia also claimed that
tbe United Statea will require 70,000
troopa to put down the rebellion, and
it ia alleged tbat the insurgents bold
10,000 Spaniah prisoners whom they
will force to serve against the Ameri
cana.
THE TRUE REMEDY
For The Race Trubles Which Occur
ia The South.
If northern politicians and north*
ern republicans deaire to know tbe
true remedy for tbe race troublea in
the couth, they can discover it. It
liea on the aurface. It consists in
their abstaining from encouraging and
stimulating them. If they will stop
giving aid and countenance to the
low white scalawags and carpet-bag*
gers in the south, who make it their
business to poison tbe minds of ne
groes againet tbe whites, northern
friends of tbe negro will have no oc*
casion tor further solicitude about him.
Republican fanatics, sentimental and
unscrupulous politicians are responsi
ble for every collision between the
races in the south —Baltimore Sun.
This is all true, but then the repub
lican aspirants to the presidency who
depend upon the negro vote in the
national convention for a nomination
are to blame more than the dirty
low white scalawag and carpet baggers
of the south.
This is tbe whole secret ol tbe
trouble. The negroes of Georgia,
though unable to give one single vote
in the electoral college, are allowed
the same representation in the nomi
nating convention, tbe body tbat
really makes the president, as tbe
whites of lowa, and more than tbe
whites of New Jersey or of Maine or
Wisconsin.
And it is for this farce of misrepre*
sentation that tbe negro in tbe south
is to be flattered, cajoled and bought
by the northern republican leaders.
It was the southern negroes in na
tional convention that shivered into
atoms John Sherman’s life long ambi
tion. It was tbe Georgia negroes tbat
turned Tom Reed down and destroyed
bis hopes and chances for tbe presi
dency.
It is true it took several barrels of
money to buy them but they counted
as much as anybody when bought.
If the northern people, as the Sun
intimates, are really in earnest in their
solicitude about tbe race troubles and
want to slop them, they will stop this
farce of negro representation in their
national conventions.
This they can do by basing repre
sented in in the convention upon the
republican vote of tbe state and not
upon the number of representatives in
congress —Rome Tribune.
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That

as mercury will surely destroy tbe sense
smell and completely derange the whole

cous surfaces. ' Such articles should never

has telegraphed the war department as
follows, respecting the departure of

“Manitoba, with General Snyder

Southern jCotton Mills-
The New York'..Commercial, com
menting upon tbsfeotton mill situa
tion, says: »
“Reckoned on their purchasing pow
er, the wages paid at southern mills
are as high as those paid in New Eng
land. This goes to prove tbe conten
tion ol the Commercial tbat climate
has much to do with cost of produc
tion, differences in skill and machin
ery being sure of early elimination, if
they alone stand between the producer
and hie command of a given market.
Os course, it should go without saying
that with equality in skill and ma
chinery in tbe two sections tbe pro
duct of the Northern factory can never
compete in cheapness with that of the
Southern Tbe competition betwean
tbe North and South in many lines of
manufacture is getting stronger and
stronger, and tbe lines in which com
petition exits are becoming more and
more numerous. There seems to be
little reason to doubt that it will spread
to every article of manufacture and
only stop with this or that product of
tbe soil toward which tbe climate of
tbe South is unfavorable, and there
can be no doubt whatever of the finaj
result.
“It may be many years first, but tbe
time must come when tbe South will
be the center of all cotton manufactur
ing and of much of the agricultural
production of the United Slates. But
it will only be tbe center, for its area
and population will never be great
enough to do all tbe producing tor tbe
rest of tbe country, and so the produc
live function will overflow from its
center, and, in many directions, reach
even the remote bounds of tbe present
United States. Migration of labor and
capital will gradually set toward the
south, because of the cheaper area of
production, and from tbat center it
will back up and solidify in all direc
tions. This process will be so gradual
that it ia to be hoped our people will
escape the distress which would come
from any sudden change in the pro
ducing center, and the end will be a
symmetrical and logical development
of tbe whole industrial system of tbe
country, in the happy economies of
which all will share.”
Os course our glorious climate must
count as a considerable factor in the
future upbuilding of tbe cotton mill
interest in the south. The good con
dition of tbe military camps which
have been established south of the
Tennessee line demonstrates how
much people who come south may
gain by being relieved of the dangers
and distresses of a too rigorous cli
mate. The New England Mills may
reduce wages as much as they may
choose in order to meet Southern com
petition, but at tbe last our more con
genial climate, together with the fact
tbat the mills may be established in
sight of the cotton fields., is bound to
count to our everlasting advantage

A Marriage That Will Prove a Sur
prise to All-
Last night at 7:30 o’clock, Col W,
D. Carhart and Miss Leila Price, ol
Clayton, Ala, were united io mar
riage, Rev. E W. Hammond official*
ing
Miss Price has been in this city for
several days visiting Mies Lois Hud
son, and although Col. Carhart has
paid her msrked attention, the an
nouncement of their marriage will
prove a surprise to their many friends
throughout Georgia and Alabama.
Colonel Carhart is one of the rising
attorneys of Griffin, apd in in every
respect worthy of the beantiful and
accomplished woman be now claims
as hie bride.
The Call joins a host of friends in
wishing for the young couple a long
and happy life.
Dewey and the Philippines-
The Secretary of the Navy has re
commended in bis annual report tbat
the grade of admiral be revived in or
der tbat it may be conferred on Rear
Admiral Dewey, and tbe newspapers
throughout the country appear to
favor the recommendation. The
whole country is proud of Admiral
Dewey. His victory at Manila was a
remarkable one It was not only a
tremendous factor in bringing the war
with Spain to a speedy end, but it has
given the United States possession ol
the Philippines, a vast territory con
taining between 8,000,000 and 10,000,-
000 inhabitants. But would be not
have Served bis country better if he
had left Manila as soon as he had de
etroyed the Spanish ships and forts
there? That is a question tbat is cer
tain to receive a great deal of atten
tion before the treaty of peace is rati
fied.
Attention ia alrongly directed to
this matter by the remark of Judge
Day, the chairman of our peace com
missioners, made immediately After
the Spanish commissioners bad agreed
to cede to thiacountry tbe Philippines.
The remark, as stated in our foreign
dispatches, was as follows: “We have
done tbe only thing possible regarding
the Philippines. Our opportunity of
giving them up was lost when Admi
ral Dewey did not weigh anchor and
sail away.”
This remark indicates tbat tbe
President and bis cabinet would have
been glad if Admiral Dewey had sail
ed away as soon as be bad done what
be bad been directed to do. He bad
been commanded, it will be remem
bered, to find and destroy tbe Spanish
fleet in Asiatic waters. Judge Day
was Secretary of State at tbe time of
the battle of Manila, and, of course,
knows what the feeling in tbe cabinet
in respect to tbe matter was. But
what was to binder tbe President from
ordering Admiral Dewey away from
Manila as soon as cable communica
tion with him was opened? . The re*
mark of Judge Day seems to blame
Admiral Dewey for not leaving Ma
nila immediately alter tbe victory
there, and it also seems to indicate
tbat it was 100 late to order him away
when it became possible to communi
cate with him.
To begin with, the islands will cost
us $20,000 000, and tbe annual cost
will be as much more probably, not
taking into account tbe lives tbat will
be sacrificed in establishing and main
taining a government on the islands.
Time alone will tell whether tbe vic
tory, sweeping and great as it was,
will not eventually prove to have been
a dearly bought victory.
In saying this, however, it doesn't
follow tbat Admiral Dewey should not
have all tbe honor that the govern*
ment can confer upon him. He de
serves all that his admiring fellow cit
izens desire to bave conferred on him,
because he won imperishable glory for
the navy and his country. Whether
or not it will turn out that the posses*
sioo of the Philippines will prove of
great benefit to tbe United States is a
question that is entirely separate from
Admiral Dewey's achievement in Ma
nila bay —Savannah News.

J Sampson’s New Glory.
Admiral Sampson, from being a
victor at sea, has now developed a
new glory io tbat be is the proprietor
of the Mormon Mt. Binai.
The recent death of Wilford Wood*
ruff, the chief apostle ol Mormondom,
has renewed the interest in tbe owns
eiship of Mt. Sinai, near Palmyra, N,
Y. Tbe mountain is locally known
as Gold Bible Hill, and within its re
cesses it is held tbat Joseph Smith
discovered the mysterious plates which
havsgiven to us the book of Mormon.
As alholy place, the Mormons wished
to secure it with tbe idea in mind of
establishing pilgrimages to it.
When they proceeded to look into
tbe matter it was discovered tbat Ad
miral Sampson bad become ita owner
some time ago. The admiral stoutly
refused to part with the bill for any
such purpose, and hence tbe Mormons
Will have to look upon it from afar,
and await tbs time when it may come
into their possession
