THE MORNING CALL.
Vol. X. No. 142.
SOCIAL SALAD
PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
SUNDAY’S CALL.
Since tbe American flag was first
planted upon the walla of Manila sev
eral months ago numberless publica
tions have come from the press bear
ing upon the resources, inhabitants
and prospects of the Philippines, but
decidedly the best work of this char
acter which has yet appeared in the
book market is ‘ The Philippine Is
lands,” by Rs mom R°yt a L 'i. This
publication comes from the pen of one
of the natives, who wiites in splendid
English and who desyibes the life of
the people with that intimate famil
iarity which is born solely of blood
relationship Every page of the vol
ume shows distinctly that the author
sympathizes with the brave struggles
which his fellow countrymen have
made for independence; but he states
that he is firmly convinced of the fact
that the Philippine islands will fare
much better under the benign
so ds of the American fltg than they
could possibly fare under any other
conditions. Os cou-se, he is frank
enough to say that most of the natives
are uncompromisingly opposed to any
thing short of independence, but be
expresses the belief that time will un
doubtedly change this status of affdrs
Several months ago the author visited
the United States and made scores of
warm personal friends on this side of
the Atlantic He was educated in
London and cons< qtiently possesses
unusual polish. In religion he loyally
embraces the doctrines of the Catho
lie church and in politics he stands
squarely upon dem< O'fitic priueiplps
Handsomely bound in substantial
covers, this book, which the au
thor dedicates conjointly to Piesident
McKinley and Admiral Dewey, forms
one of the most attractive publications
of the season.

When one has but two or three hun

increase in sight, a whole room need
not be given up to library purposes.
Smaller quarters will give a more suit

volumes, while an air of coziness will
thus be secured .that adds to the pleas

little apartment there must be an
addition to the side of a house some

which excellently serves the purpose
of housing a small collection of books

ol the rooms of the house and has low
shelves all about the space from on.

THE FRUIT WAS KILLED.
Tbe Freeze Cost Spalding County
Thousands ot Dollars
Mr. B N Barrow stated yesterday
that he had made a critical examina
tion of the peach trees in bis orchards
and is convinced the crop will be a
total failure. The buds which were
just beginning to form were even kill
ed and it is his opinion there will not
be a peach to mature in Spalding
county this year
Mr. Barrow sta ed further that the
oats were also killed by tbe freeze, but
wheat was uninjured. The acreage
town in wheat was nut as large as last
year, as tbe continuous rains prevented
the farmers from planting, still a large
number of farmers in this county
will raise more than they can con
sume.
He says that while farm- rs are
unable to prepare their lands for tie
coming crop be is not losing any sleep
on that account. What be fears is
that they will be influenced by the
advance in the price of cotton and
raise another large crop.
Mr. Barrow has just returned from
Atlanta, where he attended a meeting
of the directors of the sate Agricul
tural society and is enthusiastic over
tbe state fair which is to be held in
that city next fall He says the citi
zens of Atlanta have entered heartily
into the scheme, and will get up a fair
that will reflect great credit to the
state and demonstrate the possibilities
of farming in Georgia.

In Memory of Jos- Elliott-
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God,
in His divine providence, to remove from
our midst our brother fireman, Joe Elliott,
with sad death, which occurred at his
home in Griffin, Ga., on Sunday afternoon,
February Sth, 1899 ; Therefore be it re
solved,
Ist. That in the death of Brother Elliott
this company has lost one of its most ac
tive and faithful members. Always'
promptly at his post when duty called,
always ready to battle with the devouring
elements, never flinching from the dan
gerous and hazardous undertakings where
life or property were at stake, his death has
left a vacancy in our company w’hich can
not be filled.
2nd. That by his gentle deportment both
on and off duty in his daily, intereouse, by
his kind and forbearing spirit in his deal
ings with others, he had endeared himself
to us by ties which we will ever hold sa
cred to his memory.
3rd. That we extend to his bereft par
ents our sincere and hearty condolence in
this their sad affliction. And may the
Great Ruler, from whom cometh every
good and perfect gift, comfort them in the
loss of their dear boy.
4th. That our engine room bedrapedin
mourning thirty days out of respect for
our deceased brother, and that a blank
page in our minute book be dedicated to
his memory,
Sth. That a copy of these resolutions be
furnished the parents of our deceased
brother, and that the same be publisbel
in the Griffin Call.

Eemarkable Rescue.
Mrs, Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 111.,
makes the statement, that she caught
cold which settled on her lungs; she
was treated for a month by her family
physician, but grew worse. He told
her she was a hopeless victim of con
sumption and that no medicine could
cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Consump
tion ; she bought a bottle and to her
delight found herself benefitted from
first dose. She continued its use and
after taking six bottles, found herself
sound and well; now does her own
housework, and is as well as she ever
was—Free trial bottles of this great
discovery at J. N. Harris <fc Son. and

CLEVER LITTLE RUSE
Filipinos are Shrewd. But Scrappine
Ability is Lacking-
Manila, Feb. IS—A guard of the
Nebraska regiment stationed near the
waterworks, was attacked yesterday
afternoon by insurgents disguised in
citizens clothes, and who were biding
in a b imboo thicket. The alarm was
given and Sternburg immediately sent
four companies of reinforcements to
the scene. The natives stood their
ground for a time and then fled. Our
troops pursued towards Caloocan, kill
ing eight, including an officer, and
captured two others. Captain A. P.
Hollingswirth, L : eut. B. I). Weedo,
and six privates were wounded. The
arrest of natives in the ci'y on the
suspicion of aiding or attempting to
aid the rebels, and the se’zure ol c< n
cealed knives and rifles, continue.
The insurgents fired oo King’s brigade
last night, but no harm was done.
Ex-Consul of United States O F
Williams is in receipt of an app.iea
tion from a member of the insurgent
congress at Malolos for a pass through
the American lines for the family of
twelve persons who are desirous of
taking refuge in Manila
This is regarded as a significant
showing that the most intelligent reb
els realize that their families are safe
only within the American territory.
The price of provisions has trebled
Meat is $1 a pound and eggs are ten
cents each. No native foods are ob
tainable, and food is entering the city
from beyond the American lines.
There is no danger of a famine, as
provisions are being imported from
Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia.
IfeS,
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRLT 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 upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fro Syrup Co
only, a knowledge of that fact will
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
v/hich 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

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
posit or r
When these symptoms arc 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 nu
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
wide and it is so easy to get at any drug
store 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.. for
sample bottle and book telling about it,
