CUBAIS UZS MIBBAGI-
Enthusiastic Rocaption Will be Ac
corded American Troops
Havana, Dao. 7 —The Cabans have
been favorably impressed with ex
tract from McKinley** message pub
lished here, being convinced that the
scheme for the independence of the
island will be carried out. Entbusl
astio reception will be accorded the
American troops and a banquet is be
iog prepared for the officers. Gen.
Snyder, with 700 American troops,
landed at Casilda yesterday.
The Spaniards and Cubans continue
to clash. Yesterday a Cnb*n child,
who was singing a Cuban bymo, was
beaten to death at Genioa street by a
Spaniard. .Some persons interfered,
and Capt Hall, an American officer,
arrested tbe Spaniard and delivered
him to the police. The Spaniard waa
discharged yesterday evening by Dis*
trict Judge Helen. Tbe report spread
that the judge bad been bribed, and a
crowd of Cubana gathered at Gsnios
street to lynch the Spaniard. The
police saved him after a long struggle.
Some officer* joined the soldiersand
a fight ensued Two or three persons
wore hurt. The chief of police com*
polled tbe Spaniards to withdraw. The
peaceful citizens, including many
Spaniards who hold property, are
alarmed at the situation. Gen. Blau
co left without disarming tbe volun*
tears and hja successor, Captain Gen
eral Castellanos, apparently wishes to
do tbe same. Tbe colonels of the vol
unteers called on Captain General
Castellanos on Thursday night to tell
him that the volunteers do not want
to expose themselves to the shame of
being disarmed by the Americans,
Gen. Castellanos answered that they
would have to address him a petition
signed by tbe colonels asking to be
disarmed.
The Modern Mother
Has found that her little ones are improv
ed more by the pleasant Syrup of Figs,
when in need of the laxative effect of a
gentle remedy than by any other, and that
it ia more acceptable to them, Children
enjoy it and it benefits them. The true
remedy, Syrup of Figs, is manufactured by
the California Fig Syrup Company only.
Crippling The State Militia.
The Albany Herald says the action
of the present legislature in cutting
off the military appropriation can
have but one effect. It means, the
complete demoralization and practical
"disintegration of the State militia.
At the very time when the troops
most need the encouragement, sup*,
port and fostering care of the State
government they have been pushed
out into the cold, so to speak, and told
to shift for themselves. The Georgia
militia, we believe, has some pride
and realize that the State owes it
something, and if tbe indifference of
the State Legislature does not disrupt
tbe militia past all future recovery, we
will be very badly fooled. The Geor
gia militia, through the very fact of
its existence, has done more to keep
down rioting race troubles and mob vi
olence throughout tbe State than any
representative element of law and or
der in it, and when the military com
panies and regiments shall no longer
be at the back and call of the State
officials at critical times, the proba
bilities are that they will be more sad
ly missed than any words can now
suggest. “Tie true,’tie pity, and pity
’tie ’tie true.”

The Treaty and the Senate-
Representative Letter, just before
starting fur Washington, said that it
was by no means certain that the peace
treaty wonld ba ratified It ia not
going io be an easy matter to get two
thirds of the senators to vote for tbe
treaty Still, it is probable that the
treaty will be ratified Tbe House, of
course, has nothing to do with the
ratification of it, but it will have some
thing to do with appropriating tbe
$20,000,000 which we are to give Spain
for relinquishing her sovereignty io
the Philippines. No doubt there will
be strong opposition to paying that or
any other amount of money tu Spain.
The arguments which will be brought
to bear in favor of ratifying the treaty
and carrying out all of its provisions
are of a character that will most likely
prevail with Congress. The treaty
will not be ratified and the necessary
appropriation of money made without
a long and perhaps warm debate.
There is a wide difference of opinion
as to the wisdom of taking possession
of the Philippines, and there is very
pronounced opposition to paying any
thing for. them.
It will be argued, however, that to
reject the treaty would be to invite
very serious truub'e—trouble that
might cost several times tbe amount
which we are to pay Spain. There
would not, of course, be any danger of
further war with Spain, because Spain
is not in a condition to engage in war
with us, but a refusal to ratify tbe
treaty would cause distrust in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines. Our
purpose to establish stable government
:in these islands would give the dis
contented portion of their populations
opportunities for stirring up discontent
from which outbreaks of violence
might occur. To restore order might
be a very costly undertaking. There
fore it is probable that after tbe treaty
has been fully discussed it will be rat*
ified.—Savannah News.
Beata the Klondike.
Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville,
Tex , has found a more valuable dis
covery than has yet been made in the
Klondike. For years be suffered untold
agony from consumption, accompa*
nied by hemorrhages; and was abso
lutely cured by Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds. He declares that gold is of
little value in comparison with this
marvelous cure; would have it, even if
t cost a hundred dollars a bottle. Asth
ma, Bronchitis and all throat and lung
affections are positively cured by Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Cdnsump
tion. Trial bottles free at J. N. Harris
& Son’s and Carlisle & Ward’s drug

Guaranteed to cure or price refunded.
SBOO,OOO For Schools-
Tbe amount of tbe appropriation
for public schools in the state will be
SBOO,OOO for each of the years 1899
1900.
That sum was decided upon by tbe
committee of tbe whole house yester
day, after one of the warmest debates
ever occurring at the capitol.
It seemed apparent Tuesday that
the house would not agree to the cut
of $400,000 in the fund recommended
by the committee on appropriations.
Tbe debate in tbe morning was
limited to 11 o’clock, and at that hour
tbe voting began on al) the various
propositions submitted. Tbe $1,000,-
000 proposition and all the others were
defeated, except tbe one for SBOO,OOO,
submitted on Tuesday by Mr. Adams,
of Putnam.
Shipping Cattle West.
A party of men from Colorado and
Nebraska have been here for the past
few days scouring the country in
search of cattle to ship to the West,
where they will be fattened, sent to
Chicago and returned here in cans, or
as Western meat later on. It is said
that this shipment comes very near
draining the supply of cattle in this
section of the state. A gentleman
who went from here to Hawkinsville
through the country looking for cattle
said last week that very few were left
in that section of the country. Tbe
price of cattle has gone way up and
beef will probably advance in price
before long. Scutb Georgia could be
come rich almost off of cattle if there
were as many in this section as there
ought to be at this time. Cattle rais
ing promises to be a very profitable
industry in this country and more at*
tention should be paid to it —Valdosta
Times.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
