THE MORNING CALL. 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 Tha Deadly Grip Is again abroad in the land..

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.

Signature • JZ- 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. Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.

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.'

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 simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upcn all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy.
