GENERAL JOSEPH WHEELER.
The Soldier Who is Appreciated Both
In The North and South-
Major General Joseph Wheeler’s de
cision to resign bis sest in congress
and retain bis commission in the
army msy hare another significance
than that which be gives it in a pub
lished interview. "I prefer the army
life to the life of a member of con
gress,” says the general. Has not this
fine old soldier earned the gratitude ol
bis country to his inestimable service
to it as a wearer of the bine, and
should bis country be slow to recog
nise them substantially? Sorely there
is no more patriotic officer in the
army today than Joseph Wheeler. It
must always be remembered that
when on the night of July 1 it was
proposed to retire from San Juan
ridge and occupy a position that could
be defended with lees risk to the army,
General Wheeler protested with such
vigor that the plan was abandoned.
Had bo thrown the weight of ais in
fluence in the other scale, history
might have been written differently.
It can hardly be disputed that Gen
eral Shafter set a very high value on
Wheeler’s advice in s military exi
gency, and justly so, for the little gen
eral was a famous warrior and bad
commanded many thousands of men
on hard-fought fields long before he
reached the ago of 90. There was no
other man in the Santiago campaign
who could measure careers with him,
and all the veterans ol the war ol re
bellion paid him homage for bis ex
perience and prestige.
It is deliciously humorous of Gen
eral Wheeler to say: “Although
some little discussion has been raised
aa to my ago, I hope to be old enough
soon to make a good soldier.” Joseph
Wheeler was graduated from the Mili
tary Academy in 1859, being then 28
years old. When his state by adoption
eooeded and Wheeler resigned from
the army, be was appointed colons) of
the Nineteenth Alabama, an infantry
regiment. In tbe national army be
bad served as a dragoon. At Shiloh
he commanded a brigade and covered
tbe retreat of tbe Confederates. He
was transferred to the cavalry in July,
1862 About six months laterJand at
the age of 27, ho was promoted’to be a
major general. At Chickamauga he
led tbe cavalry, and crossed tbe Ten
nessee after that battle, be carried
Bosoraos, beat a force sent against
him, and destroyed 1,200 transporta
tion wagons, with tbeir stores. Daily
be bung on Sherman’s flanks. and
fought him as he advanced into Geor
gia. Sometimes Wheeler took tbe
field with his command dismounted.
oen. U. 0. Howard, when he visited
Tamps before the Shafter expedition
sailed for Santiago, used to recall Joe
Wheeler’s aggressive attacks on Sher
man’s line of communication, and
Howard, who served with Sherman,
expressed tbe greatest admiration for
Wheeler as an active, indefatigable
soldier Ao incident of the Georgia
campaign was tbe Confederate’s cap
ture of Gen George Stoneman and bis
artillery and transportation, Wheeler
became a lieutenant general on May
11, 1864, being then 28 years of age,
and on tbe death of Jeb Stuari, be was
tbe senior cavalry general of the Con
federate armies. Such, in brief, was
the career from 1861 to 1865 of the
little hero of Santiago, who says, with
his eyes twinkling, “J hope to be old
enough soon to make a good soldier.”
Whether a united and sectionlees
Country purposes to bestow honors
and emoluments on Joseph Wheeler,
tbe American soldier of 1808, is some
thing for the administration and con
gress to determine, but if his ser
vices before Santiago should be ades
nuately recognised there would be no
dissenting voice from sea to sea—-New

laprisotßent For Debt-
Tbe Illi introduced into the legisla
ture by Representative McDonald of
Ware county js not oue that the state
of Georgia can afford to have among
her statute..' It is true that employers
have a deal of trouble with
worthless and dishonest laborers, but
that fact is not a sufficient excuse for
a law imprisoning people for debt.
The debtors’ prisffil was abolished long
ago, and wisely. To ie-establish it
would be a step backward.
Tbe bill in question provides that
persons who get supplies on promise
of paying for them in work shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor, and ba pun
ished by fine orimprteonment, unless
they fulfill theirprothises Those who
make such contrasts with laborers
must take their chances of getting the
labor for which they have paid in ad
vance They are not compelled to
trust laborers who offer to work out
advances made to them. If they dotbey
take a risk, which they alone must
carry. It ie unfair to ask the state to
earry it. Besides, the effect of the
law would be to fill the jails and chain
gangs of the different counties with a
class of people wbo are now sufficient
ly worthless and degraded. It would
be a great mistake op tbe part of the
state to enact ajaw that would tend to
still furtber degrade them.
It woull be much the better policy
for employers to put a stop to the
credit system. Tbe state is spending
many hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually to raise tbe people to a high
er moral and intellectual plane. It
would be a step in tbe wrong direction
to enact a law that would tend to make
vagrants and criminals of a shiftless
and virtually pauper class.—Savannah

Our Sunday school has been sadly be
reaved by the death of one of its most reg
ularWttendants and faithful members, Ed
gar Head. As a scholar, he was always
in his place, on time, atttentive to all ex
ercises and well-behaved. He gave prom
ise of making a useful worker In the Mas
ter’s Vineyard; it was hard to give him up
so young, but it pleased God to take him
from a world of sin and sorrow, and give
him a home of eternal happiness and joy.
The family have our sincerest sympathy
in this trying ordeal, and we commend
them to God, who alone is able to com
fort such grief.
Millions Given Away-
It is certainly gratifying to the pub
lio to know of one concern io the laud
wbo are not afraid to be generous to
the needy and suffering. Tbe proprD
etors of Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds, have
given away over ten million trial bot
tles of this great medicine, and have
satisfaction of knowing it baa absolute
ly cured thousands of hopeless cases.
Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and
all diseases of tbe Throat, Cheat and
Lungs are surely cured by it. Call on
J. N. Harris A Son or Carliale A Ward,
druggists, and get a trial bottle free
Regular size 50c and SIOO. Every
bottle guaranteed, or price refunded.
The Comedy Event of the Season-
Unlike most present day farces,
Hoyt’s “A Texas Steer” has a plot,
and arrinteresting one it is. There
bas been no equal success on Hoyt’s
stage, and the satire io this play
won Chas. H. Hoyt bis fame. It is full
ol incidents presenting the ludicrous
side of human nature, and has met
with remarkable success everywhere.
Katie Putnam has been specially
engaged for tbe part of “Bossy.” Fe
male comedians are rarities. Those of
England and America can be counted
on the fingers and Katie Putnam beads
Ibis short list. She tbe many
and delights all. She move" them all
to laughter and tears by her humor I
and pathos. She makes her points in
a simple manner. Sbedoes not exhibit
any feminine affectations. She is just
wbat she is supposed to be The clev
erness with which she plays "Bossy”
should suffice to her more fa
mous, if that were possible*
Will H. Bray is sti!l seen in bis
characterization of tbe negro politi
cian. Herbert E Sears is tbe “Maver
ick Brander,” and it is an impersona
tion that will pass muster as one of tbe
most polished delineations of difficult
characterization.

State Appropriations-
Tbe senate committee on appropria
tions has made such radical changes
in the house appropriation bill that it
seems impossible to bring tbe two
bouses together this late in the term
and the possibility of an extra aeasion
looms up.
It increased the rail-ay commission
ers’ salaries to $2,500; it raised tbe
house educational appropriation bill
from SBOO,OOO to $1,000,000; it restores
tbe SB,OOO given tbe geological depart
ment and its printing fund of $1,500;
it also added $2,500 to tbe Technolog
ical school appropriation, gave tbe
normal school at Rock College SB,OOO
additional, and appropriated $2,500
more to tbe agricultural department
than did the house.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SIRUP OF FlfiS
la due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is

known to the Caufubnja Fig SrutTP
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 Strop Co.

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 in advance of all other laxatives,'
as 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
the Company—
