Vol. X. N»- 117 -
OEHEBAL EAGAN IS SERVED.
He Will Plead Extreme Provocation
When Arraigned.
Washington, Jan 20—(Special)—
A copy of the order for the court mar
tial of General Eagan was served upon
him yesterday afternoon. General Ea
gan immediately requested Colonel
Davis to take charge of the depart
meal’s business. Eagan was not plac
ed under arrest, but will be free to do
as he pleases until next Wednesday,
when he will have to appear before
the court martial. The work of pre
paring the charges rd specifications
was completed this afternoon, and a
copy sent the president. It is certain
that Gen. Eagan will plead great pro
vocation, and that he hopes to get the
court to hear testimony on that point.
This would result in inquiry into Gen.
Miles’ statement.
Whatever may be the outcome of
the courtmartial, it may be confidently
stated that Eagan’s career as commis
sary general of the army is ended.
His successor Colonel John F. Wes
ton, has already been selected. Orders
have been telegraphed him at New
York directing him io report for
duty at once to the secretary
of war. This means that he is
ultimately to take charge of the com
missary general’s department. He
cannot be nominated by the senate to
succeed General Eagan as commissary
general until the latter has been diss
missed or regulated to the retired list.

Diversified Crops.
The farmers of Mississipi are discus
sing the subject of diversified crops
rather extensively, and many of them
have come to the conclusion that the
all cotton plan has almost brought
them to their ruin and that it must
be abandoned if (he farmers prospered
In future, says the Columbus En
quirer
A farmers meeting recently held in
Wilkinson county, Miss, resolved to
reduce the acreage in cotton and tc,
put the land thus saved in tobacco,
corn and other crops, making l< b icco
one of the staple crops. Experiments
already made in that section of Missis
Bippi show that tobacco can be raised
profitably there, and the farmers ap»
pear determined to try most any new
crop that will enable them to grow
something else besides cotton, so that
the production may be reduced and
better prices secured.
The farmers of the South have suf
fered for several years from an over
production pf potton. Jf the planters
of Mississippi, who have very rich
and fertile soil, find it impossible to
make a living on the all-cotton plan,
how must it be with the farmers of
Georgia and Alabama, whose land is
not so fertile and productive.
gome days ago, the Euquirer-Bun
published the result of the experience
of a gentleman in L n e county, Ala., in
the culture of tobacco, which showed
that it can be grown in Georgia and
Alabama much more profitably .han
cotton at the present prices. We trust
that many of our farmers will follow
the example of the planters in Missis
sippi, and diversify their crops as ex
tensively as possible this year, includ
ng tobacco aspne of*tlie ptflple crops

WORK OF NEWSPAPER FLEET
Col. Diehl Tells How News Was
Gathered From the War.
New York, Jan. 18—The Yonkers
Board of Trade had its fourth annual
dinner at the Hollywood Inn tonight.
It was a war banquet.
The principal speakers were Capt.
R D, Evans and Capt. H. C. Taylor,
who commanded the lowa and Indiana
during the war, and Col. Charles S.
Diehl, assistant general manager of
the Associated Press, who was in gen
eral charge of that association's war
news service in and around Cuba.
The first toast, “The Officers and
Men of the United States Navy,” was
responded to by Capt. Evans, who in
the course of his speech said that long
before the war was dt dared every man
in the navy felt that war existed. The
Spaniards had blown up a ship for us,
and deny it who might, way down in
our hearts we fought and whipped the
Spanish because they blew up the
Maine.”
Col. Diehl, in responding to the
toast, “The Newspaper Fleet in the
War,” told of the work of getting the
news from the front. He said that
while the war strategists were scruti
nizing the maps at Washington the
newsp oers were compelled to give
equal as to how the news of
possible events growing out of the
war with Spain was to be covered.
Maps were prepared showing the lines
of cable communication in the West
Indies.
The difficulties presented at the
cutset were really very great. It was
known that the cable communication
with Cuba would be cut off, and the
news managers would be forced to
contrive a new method. Dispatch
boats had never before been used for
such purposes. The difficulties that
would be experienced while cruising
with the naval vessels also presented
themselves. The innovation was tried,
and aside from this one man was put
on each of the flagships by permission
by the government.
There were fifteen dispatch boats
cruising from Santiago to Jamaica
and Hayti. No matter what the weath
er the boats left regularly every night.
This service commanded the admira
tion of the naval officers, who recog
nized the dangers and difficulties that
the men ou the dispatch boats bad to
meet in furnishing the newspapers of
the world with the latest news. By
the dispatch boats, supplies and ice
were also taken to the sick.
Besides having men aboard the flag
ship New York and Brooklyn, five dis
patch boats had to be chartered by
this association and upwards of SI,OOO
- had been spent to get the news to
the papers,
Col. Diehl told of incidents of the
trips. The newspaper boats had been
allowed to go with the fleet, but their
commauders were in ignorance of the
naval rules and they were frequently
called to order by naval captains like
Evansand Taylor. '
The most effective method of calling
such commanders to prefer was a solid
shot just ahead. » The flag indicating
that a boat was a newspaper craft wag
red, and ala little distance looked like
the Spanish emblem. That flag
brought many shells whistling <Btr
the crafts of the newspapers.
Col. Diehl told of thp death of Cor
respondent Lyman, who whs in charge
of the work at Siboney, and who died
there thro jgb devotion to duty.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 21, 1899.
Justice for the Woman-
It is said that business men of New
York are clamoring for the conviction
of Fayne Strahan M ore, the young
adventuress who is now awaiting trial
on the charge of having aided in the
“badgering” of one Martin Mahon.
The reason for this clamoring for a
conviction, and which may be suc
cessful, seeing that it seems to be not
uncommon in New Ymk and other
cities of about the same latitude to
convict and sometimes to execute per
sons in response to clamor, is that
"badgering” has become such a com
mon thing in New York that it is
keeping business men and others away
from that city. They are afraid of
being “badgered.” It is said that a
New York judge was “badgered" out
of $20,000 not long ago’.
It is a reflection upon the decent
people of the country to say that a
woman must be convicted and sent to
state’s prison to keep m< n from get
ting into trouble. Men who think
rightly and act rightly need never
have a fear of being “badgered.” Only
those who intend wrong or who do
wrong place themselves in the power
of unscrupulous "badgers.” The wo
man Fayne Moore, therefore, with all
of her faults, is not worse than those
whom it is claimed she must be sent
to prison to save, and probably also
many of those who are exerting them
selves to send her to prison.
Os course crime, whether committed
by man or woman, is not to be con
doned or excused ; but there are cer
tain classes of crimes which women
commit that would be impossible were
it not for tbe encouragement given by
men ; and “badgering” is not one of tbe
least of them, Honest men never arfe
caught in a position in which it be
comes necessary for them tn go down
on their knees and beg for mercy, and
also give up money to save their skins.
“The woman tempted ’ me is an excuse
that is long out of date.
There is no danger of New York
business being injured by "badgering.”
If that is the best reason that can be
given in advocacy of the conviction of
tbe Moore woman, she should be al
lowed to go scot free. If she is not
sinned against as much as sinning,
then the nature of the male human
must change when it gets to New
York.—Savannah News.

Rare Revenue Stamps-
War revenue stamps are engaging
the attention of the philatelists to a
gieater or less extent. Full collections
of the issues are already rare, and it is
said they are likely (o beocme more so
as time advances. The outlay neces
sary in order to secure a complete list
of stamps deters many enthusiasts
from venturing into the field. A man
is apt to think twice b purchasing
a SSO documentary war revenue stamp
lor the sake of adding it to his collec
tion, andainless this valuable bit of
paper fe acquired the colhotiun is not
complete.' Some of the stamps are
already scarce. Sion after Congress

A Woman b Toast.
A very bright little army woman
rose to the occasion well a few days
ago, says a Warrington dispatch to
the New York Press, when she was one
of the guests at a smart luncheon giv
en at one of the large hotels for some
distinguished New England people.
It was a large affair, and in an im
promptu manner a number of toasts
were given. In the midst of it tbe lit
tle army woman with horror heard
some one say:
“We have among us the wife of an
officer in the regular army, and I
think it is only fitting that she should
respond to the toast 'The Flag? ” The
men applauded and the woman smil
ed encourgement, and, trembling a
little as she held up the glass of wine,
the officer’s wife spoke :
“I belong to a class of women to
whom the flag is especially near and
dear. All day it waves over tbe roofs
of our little homes in tbe far frontier,
and at sundown the rustle of its folds,
mingled with the notes of 'The Star-
Spangled Banner,’ is the lullaby of
our babies. We know that it, will be
tbe winding sheet of those dearest to
ue. Since the word Santiago has Jjeen
written in our hearts I see yet more
in this flag-in its red, the blood of our
martyrs; in the white, the paleness of
their ashen faces ; in the blue, the lipa
set with the word ‘Freedom,’ and in
the stars the souls that will shine on
forever.”
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and

to the care and skill with which it is

all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co

assist one in avoiding the worthless

ties,. The high standing of the Cali

which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert te detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the ayes, 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
posit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delajr may le>d to grave), 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 dangeroue
