A portion of this army he advisee, be recruited from the natives the new islands of tho United States, under American offl cere. In tho cities of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, a constabulary force of nativM should be sworn in. Mrs. Myrick is standing by Candler. Sheaayo: "Wo recommend Gov. Cand ler for bia. message to the legislature, legialalure would do well to follow bis advice. We commend Mr. Brwaden'o WH to revise the pension laws so as that on veteran or widow of a veterlta cain' Jsfctjre 0 pension unless it is demonstfatyd that it io necessary for tboir MHiraUuppprt." ■ The Spanish press generally accepts the situation by congratulating Spain that the agitation is over and giving a backward dig to the United States for showing so little generosity. Twenty . million is a good deal of generosity in these days of Hannacraoy, to say of taking upon ourselves the burden ctf worklng out the Philippine problem with its open door and the Bpaoe problem.—Chattanooga News. It is reported on good authority that ■ the Anglo-American League of Lon don is engaged upon a project to erect a statute of George Washington in Trafalgar square. It is understood that only British subjects will be permitted to coaaribaie to the monument fund. The league embraces many man prom inent in public life in England. The year certainly has seen strange things. It baa seen Englishmen celebrating the Fourth of July uud Americans cel* ebrating the queen's birthday. Hobson has recently refused an offer of |50,000 from a New York lecture bureau for a stated number of lectures during this season. He is made of the right sort of sluff; he declines to ex hibit himself as a freak, even for a fortune. Before the sinking of the Merrimac, as be himself says, his lec tures "would have been worth about 1 fifty cents." The enhancement of their value comes, not from the intrin sic merit of whatever Hobson might have to say, but from the fact that he sank the Merrimac. The crowds wou'd go out to see him merely from curios ity, the same as they would go out to ' see a two-headed calf or a wild man ; from Borneo ;'-and Hobeon does not ' wish that kind of notoriety, even if jingling bags of gold go along with it. He is to be commended and congratu lated on his determination. It does one good to know a man to whom , money is a minor consideration.—Sa vannah News. The Baltimore Sun gives the follow ing in reference to the geography and surroundings el our new possessions: "To the north lies Formosa, belonging i to Japan, to the south, British North Borneo and the Dutch possessions. Far j to the southeast Germany is a neigh- i bor, in New Guinea and certain islands 1 east of New Guinea, called "the Bis- 1 marck archipelago.” Directly east of 1 tho Philippines are the Ladrone and j Caroline Islands, belonging to Spain, i which our commissioners are trying to ' purchase. By acquiring the.whole lot we shut other powers out from all that part'bf the West Pacific. We get the French as neigboora on the west in I Tonquin, and the British as neighbors ' at Hong Kong. A great part of the Chinese coast is within easy steaming distance toward the north. Russia is i a more remote neighbor in Manchuria, I From being an isolated nation, we at I one leap surround ourselves with ' strangers—Japs, Dutch, Germane, J French, English, Chinese and Rus- ] siaos, to say nothing of the dozens of ( races of cantankerous natives in the 1 islands we acquire." inn ■ ■—. , - - A story of ColOM* Warlas. "I was living in Memphis in 187A." Mid Mr. O. B. Norton, now of Charleston, "when Colonel George E. Waring, Jr., Who died the other day, was engaged to design a sewerage system for the city. It was a gigantic engineering problem, and Waring attacked it with his habitual vig or. One night while the work was in progress I had occasion to call on him aft hie hotel. I had never met him before, and when I entered hie room was stag gered by the evidences of concentrated la bor that met my eyas. He was in his shirt slsoves at n big table, writing furi ously. His hair was disheveled, bls point ed mustache bristled menacingly, hie writing material was In wild disorder and the floor was littered with sheets of paper. I concluded that ho was deep in some Stupendous calculation and made my stay as brief ns possible. “A few days later I saw him at the office of the sewerage works. He was faultlessly dressed, perfectly grooms 1 and cool as a cucumber, although busily en gaged tn the examination of some intri cate drawings. Tho startling contrast con vinced mo that my former visit had been doubly inopportune, and I said something to that effect. ‘Not at all,* he replied laughing. ‘I was writing a short story when you dropped in. It's away I have of amusing myself. He mentioned the title, and I afterward read the tale in his book called ‘Whip, Spur and Saddle.* New Orleans Times-Democrat. msasMaMMeummsuwMsaMwwnMMmmm Winter Tourist Tickets- From November Ist until April 80,1899 Winter Tourist tickets to principal South ern resorts, including Asheville and Hot Springs, N. 0.. and Florida oolnts will be on sale at special rates, via Southern Ry.

Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unheal thy condition of the kidneys; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kid neys and bladder are out of order. What to 80. There is comfort in the knowledge so of ten expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root,the great kidney remedy, fulfills ev ery wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every Cart of the urinary passages. It corrects lability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp- Root is soon realized. It stands the high est for its wonderfill cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. At druggists fifty cents or one dollar. You may h »ve a sample bottle and a book that tells more about it, both sent absolutely free by mail, if you send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham ton, N. Y.

THE —: MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE GO. OF NEW YORK. Breaks The Dividend Record. It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the. particulars of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: Mr. Banks was insured for • The dividends amounted to .* ..12,028.00 Paid to the estate . $17,028.00 How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and he did this for fifty-four years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these for his benefit. Here are the particulars: Policy No. 1,283. Issued March 5,1845. Amount $5,000. Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Plan. Original insurance in 1845 DMdend additions paid in 1898, 12,028.00 Amount of death claim $17,028,00 54 Premiums paid by insured 8,640.00 Realized to estate over premiums paid SB,BBB 00 Being nearly equal to a return of alTfhe premiums paid with two and a halt (2|) per cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from $5,000 at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. The dividend additions paid to the estate were 189 per cent, of all the. premiums paid for the insurance. Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety'-four. He appreciated the power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result of his method of investment—a result that has never been equalled by a policy holder in any other company in the world.
