THE MORNING CALL.
Vol. X. No. 114.
ARRESTED IN BARNESVILLE.
Will Dillin*h am i« Arrested for Bur
glarizing His Benefactor-
Several days ance a young white
man, about 18 years of age, applied at
the home of Mr. H. H. Geiger for
something to eat. He was ragged and
foot-sore from walking, and from all
appearances had not been living on
flowery beds of ease.
The man gave his name as Will
Dillingham, and said he had enlisted
in the Third Kentucky regiment, but
shortly after reaching Columbus he
had been discharged from the service
and was trying to make hi- way back
to his home in Princeton, Ky.
Mr. Geiger was impressed with the
man's talk, and gave him a good suit
of clothes, secured him a job with the
Osborn & Wolcott Manufacturing Co,
and took him in his home.
Everything went along smoothly
until last Sunday night, when Mr.
Geiger’s family and hie protege went
to church. That was the last seen of
Dillingham, and when the Geigers
returned home they found the house
had been burglarized. A winchester
rifle, fine bammerless shotgun, Smith
& Wesson pistol, overcoat, shoes and
other articles were missing, and the
burglary was reported to the police.
The officers were sure Dillingham
had committed the crime, and they
sent a description of him to several
places in Georgia, asking for his ar
rest.
Dillingham was caught io Barnes*
vilie Monday night, and the Griffin
police were notified. Officer Gordon
went down after the man yesterday
morning, and last night be slept in
Spalding county jail,
Dillingham confessed the crime to
Officer Gordon and told where he had
disposed of the stolen goods. He had
the money realized from the sale, and
the officers recovered every article
from the parties to whom they were
sold. Dillingham now says he did not
enlist in the Third Kentucky regi
ment, but came to Georgia with the
regimert when it was ordeied to
Columbus
Words of Henry Grady.
“When every farmer in the South
shall eat bread from his own felds and
meat from his own pastures, and dis*
turbed by no creditor and enslaved by
debt, shall sit amidst his teeming gar
dens and orchards and vineyards and
dairy and barnyards, pitching his
crops in his own wisdom, and grow
ing them in independence, making
cotton bis clean surplus, and selling it
in his own time and in his chosen
market, and not at a master’s bidding
—getting his pay in cash, and not in
a receipted mortgage that discharges
his debts but does not restore his free"
dom—then shall be the breaking of
the fullness of our day.
Great is King Colton. But to lie at
his feet while the usurer and grain
raiser bind us in subjection is to in
vite the contempt of man and the re
proach of God. But'to stand up before
kim amid the crops and smokehouses,
wrest from him the rnagna charts of
our independence, and to establish in
his name an ample and diversified ag
riculture that shall honor him while it
enriches us, this is to carry us as far
in the way of happiness and inde
pendence as the farmer, working in
the f Blest wisdom and in the richest
field, can carry any people.
Deafness Cannot be Cared
By local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

SAM JONES ON EXPANSION.
He Thinks This Country Will Con
tinue to Hold Cuba.
Rev. Sam P. Jones speaking on the
subject of expansion says :
“It is not a question of expansion,”
said be, “because we have already ex
panded. We have certainly taken in,
by the treaty between the United
States and Spain, all Spain had, ex
cept her home. The question now is,
what shall we do with the Philip*
pines? Os course, we will hold our
hand upon the government of Cuba
long enough to import enough ‘Yan
kee doodle down there to vote Cuba
over into our possession Porto Rico
will also become a province of the
United States
“But what to do with the Philippines
now is the question before statesmen,
politicians and editors. The Philip*
pines are on our hands We cannot
unload these islands like tbe farmer
unloads his potatoes and corn when
he drives into town and sells them.
It will take time, wisdom, and tbe best
statesmanship to determine what is
best to be done. lam sure it is not
wise to decide now what we will do
with the Philippines, but the question
of expansion is already settled. We
certainly have expanded. But the
fellow don’t always keep down every
thing he swallows.
“I think the United States will be
by tbe Philippines like the fellow was
by the oyster, lying in a big plate on
tbe bar counter with the placard set ,
up by it, ‘slo to any man who will f
swallow this oyster whole.’ The big s
fellow caught up the oyster and drop
ped it down with asmile of satisfaction, j
and said : Give me the $lO. The bar- j
tender said : Here is your money ; but
you are the tenth fellow that has tried
that.' The fellow got his money and
tbe bartender got bis oyster back.
“It may be that we will give Spain j
the $20,000,000 and give back the oys- i
ter, too, before we are done with it. I i
have no patience with discussion in '
congress about the constitutionality of '
the annexation of these islands. Il is ,
not a question of constitutionality at
all. The question of constitutionality '
was aptly stated by the fellow in the
Georgia legislature, when he declared,
'that anything was constitutionality
that could get 88 votes in the Georgia
legislature.’ ”

9RIFFIN, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 18, 1898.
TO COLONIZE THE NEOKO.
National American Colonization As
sociation Chartered.
An application has been made by 8.
L. Hutchins, John E. Hatton and oth
er leading colored citizens of Chatta
nooga, Tenn., for a charter for the
National American Colonization Asso
ciation, the object being to organize
branches in the Southern states.
The association is formed with the
view to colonizing negroes in the West
and securing from Congress a conces
sion to allow tbe colonies formed the
right of state government and repre
sentatives in congress, etc.
The plan was originated by 8. L
Hutchins, a negro lawyer of Chalta* ,
nooga, who has given the question of
“what to do with the negro” a great
deal of study. Hutchins was a circuit (
judge in North Carolina during the (
reconstruction period, and it is said he
came nearer giving satisfaction to tbe f
whites in his circuit than any negro f
who ever held a like office. Hutchins
gives as tbe reason for his proposed (
“colony,” that the people of tbe United ,
States “should be given an opportuni- (
ty to see whether the negro is capable |
of governing and holding offices.” The f
application for the charter says: ,
“It is not fair to judge of the negro’s (
ability to conduct public affairs by tbe ,
failures be has made in tbe South. (
Given an opportunity when be is alto- (
gether dependent upon himself the {
negro will solve the question quickly f
as to whether he is worthy of citizen- ]
ship and to be an integral part of the £
governing people.” j
Hutchins claims a number of lead- t
ing citizens of the South are in sympa- t
thy with him in the movement. t

“Hal Got.”
Another language saver has launch
ed his boat. “Is ‘has got' good En
glish?” he writes ; “should not ‘got’
be omitted?” For the three hundred
and thirty third, and last time, we say
that “has got” is sound, correct En
glish, good historically, good in mod
ern use, a perfectly healthy idiom.
Anybody who has scruples about the
“got” cau cut it out. Anybody who
has a taste for prunes, potatoes and
prisms can learn to break himself of
the habit of saying “has got” if he
perseveres
We seek to put no constraint upon
tender consciences. But abstainers
from "has got” should be warned
against being puffed up. Fresh -Eng
lish is always good, but persons who
like it canned are welcome to take t.
that way. They mustn’t put on airs
though.—New York Sun.

Couldn't Recall the Name
“I was recently making out a deed
for a man,” says a Detriot lawyer, ac
cording to the Free Press, “and all
went swimmingly till I turred to him
and asked his wife’s name. “Oh, yes,
of course. Wife’s name. Very neces
sary to be sure,’ and it was plain to be
seen that he was sparring for time,
while making every effort to bring his
memory into play. He had a rush of
blood to the face, looked sorely troubl
ed, and finally turned bis back on me
while he looked out of the window, as
thought relief were to be found there.
'Woulden’t that beat you,’be exclaim
ed, as he turned slowly back. ‘l’ll be
blowed if I cau recall her name. Yon
see they used to call her “Pet” when
she was a girl at home, and that was
her name with me up to two years
after our marriage, when I began call
ing her "Mamma.” I couldn’s tell you
her name if it were a capital offense
not to know it. S’pose it wouldn’t do
to just call her‘Pet’in the deed?’ It
wouldn’t do, so he hurried away, and
in an hour was back with his wife’s
full name on a slip of paper.”

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow,
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or
over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to
urinate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; if after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de
positor strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may run
into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous
stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such diseases. Its reputation is world
w:de and it is so easy to get at any drug
sto'e that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention The Middle
Georgia Farmer, and write to Dr. Kil
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., ftr a
sample bottle ana book tellingall about it,
