Will be sold before the court bouse door in Manila, between the legal hours of sale, on the Ist Tuesday in April, the following described proper ty, to wit: A collection of islands, known as the Philippine Islands. Bounded on the north by about 12,000 miles of water and the United States, on the south by the equator, on the eait by the astonished nations of the earth, and on the west by Dewey’s fleet, and a few foreign war ships from England, France, Germany, and Russia, with an eye on the crumbling throne of the Chinese empire. Said islands to be sold under a fi fa against Spain to sat-, isfy the ambition of a few politicians in America. Said lands all lay well, finely watered, and timbered, being in a rich, tropical country and produce two crops per year of sugar cane, ty phoons, cotton, coffee, rebellions, rice, tobacco and hemp; they import to all countries large quantities of hemp rope annually, hangings can be exe cuted at a comparatively small cost. All of the larger islands, consisting of about a dozen, with a floe growth of highly polished savages, a few of them have some splendid cannibals, ready for market, will be sold to the highest bidder, positively no by-bid ding. Foreign capitalists, who care for rare brie a brae, will find this sale the only charce of a life time. As the United States has to keep a standing army, she reserves the Island of Lu zon as a training ground, the 1,000 or 1200 small islands will be reserved as target practice for the dynamite cruis er, Vesuvius. Parties desiring to purchase the land without its inhab itants, or who only wish to buy the inhabitants will put in their notice of same 10 days before day of sale. The fact of our having a civil war some years since to abolish slavely, will cut no figure in this case, the southern people owned the slaves then, now its us, they are ours and dog gone ’em we are going to sell ’em. The sale will positively take place, rain or shine. Terms of sale, spot cash. Several of these islands have rich silver mines, thus affording a fine opening for the populists and what few straggling Bryan democrats will be left by the end of the year. A fine barbecue will be served on the grounds. The proceeds of sale will go to the campaign funds of 1900—C. A. Up shaw in Carroll County Times.

Compell California Volunteers to Abandon Advanced Position Manila, Feb. 20—The California volunteers abandoned Guadalupe church at 5 o’clock yesterday morning, which has since been set on fire, and retired to San Pedro Macati. The rebels still hold the country in the vicinity of Guadalepe, Pasig and Patero despite the efforts of the gun boats to dislodge them from the jungle on both sides of the river. The heat is intense and is increasing perceptibly daily. Under present con ditions it is impossible to provide shade for the troops in certain parts of the line, particularly McArthur’s division. King’s brigade is also exposed from San Pedro Macati to Culiculi, where it joins Ovenshine’s brigade. In view of the fact that the enemy was concentrating on the American right flank, preparations were made last night to give the enemy a waim reception in the event of attack. General Ovenshine’s line, consisting originally of the North Dakota volun teers, Fourteenth infantry, stretching from the beach at Camp Dewey to General King’s right, was re-enforced by two battailions of Oregon volun teers and three troops of the Fourth cavalry as infantry. The Buffalo’s searchlight discover ing the rebels unusually active about 10 o’clock in the evening, signaled the flagshap for permission to fire upon them, and this being granted, bom barded the enemy's trenches for twen ty minutes. The only effect of the fire was apparently to drive the rebels further inland. Beyond a few ineffectual volleys from the trenches, which were return ed with interest, the enemy made no demonstration and all is quiet along the rest of the line. Scouts claim to have seen General Pio del Pilar, who commanded the rebels at Paco, with his arm in sling, directing the troops. General Monte negro, the insurgent commander in chief, is reported to be personally con ducting the movements in front of Gen. King’s line at San Pedro Macati. The signal corps is arranging signals with the navy for future operations on the left. With the exception of the port of Iloilo, trade with Philippine ports is still blockaded. The Modem Way Commends itself to the well-informed, to do pleasantly and effectually what was formerly done in the crudest manner and disagreeably as well. To cleanse the sys tem and break up colds, headaches, and fevers without unpleasant after effects, use the delightful liquid laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs. Made by California Fig Syrup Co. Amusements in Manila In Manila I visited the Filipino theatres; the actors, management and audience were natives. An opera was in progress, “The Murdered King,” The scenes were clever imitations of European scene-makers, and the cos tumes of the actors might grace their betters. A dash of comedy enlivened such parts as the death scene and the funeral, and the comedy lead bad the house from start to finish. The hun dreds of natives present were hugely entertained by the Tagal jokes and properly impressed with the work of the heavy tragedian. I have seen worse plays with Seabrooke in the title role. The Filipino circus is an other popular resort. If an enterpris ing American manager could trans port the aggregation to Madison Square Garden, standing room only would be the order and not the excep tion. Not because the Filipinos cou’d oul-Barnum Barnum, but because the native talent is of a clever order and the entertainment is unique. Tumb blers, wiestlers, jugglers, contortionists and clowns do their acts creditably and salaam off the ring in real circus style. The native dancing-women have a specialty of tbeir own. They do not kick high enough to make an extra demand for front, seats, but their movements are graceful and sinuous, while their skirts, though moderately abbreviated, are bright and pictur* esque—Manila Letter in Leslie’s Weekly. — Attention, Griffin Rifles.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 21, 1899. THE SPAIN OF TODAY The Country is Lifeless and Dall, But Safe for American Tourists. In an American paper the other day I read an inquiry from a correspondent in Rome asking whether it would be safe or politic for American tourists to visit Spain at this time After an ex perince of three weeks in all parts of Spain, I can tell that inquirer that for the purposes of the traveler Spain is as safe now as it ever has been, and it needs Americans as it never has need ed them before I could not advise this American to follow the example of a young fellow I encountered the other day at Madrid, and who was outraging the hospitality and ignorance of the country by walk ing through it, on a wager, so ho said, with two American flags pinned upon his person. I suppose that the Span iards, unable to recognize the flag, were no worse off for having seen it exhibited in so undignified a fashion, but I wondered what on earth the educated peopleof the country thought of the performance, and blushed for the individual who was shoved for ward as a fellow countryman. Yet, in spite of the eccentric doings of my freakish fellow-citizen, he had marched across the desolate land, accompanied by an innocent ass, unmolested, al though he did claim to have barely escaped from the knife of a returned soldier at one of the seaport towns. To those to whom Spain is not en tirely new it now will impress itself io a very different manner. The way farer meets with as much courtesy as ever, the landlords as earnestly seek the recesses of the pilgrim’s pockets, the beggars are, if possible, more nu merous than ever before, but, with the doubtful exception of Barcelona, the life and light of the country have de parted. There always is activity at Barce lona, but at Saragossa there have been no sightseers in months. At Madrid it was almost as bad. The opera “house, which is one of the finest in Europe, was lees than half filled. The court has not appeared in public since long before the war commenced, and the public has neither money nor heart for the opera or theater. The famous art gallery is populated almost exclus ively by custodians and copying ar tists. Taka away the soldiers and there would be no brilliancy left. Seville is so quiet as to be almost oppressive. The streets are lifeless, the cases, to which the visitor formerly was lured under the impression that theie be would see the dancing girls of Andalusia in a setting full of local color, have all gone out of business but one. One hears only the echoes of his own feet in the court of oranges at the big hotel, and sits down with a heavy heart and not much else for company at the long table, with seats for sixty four and a remarkable tablecloth in one piece t> cover it. Here at Cadiz it is much lhe same thing, except that you see more of the cotton uniforms of the colonial army now coming home. Everything is sad, sad, inexpressibly sad, from the bleak and treeless lands scape to the hungry looking common people —Chicago Record There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put to gether, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a consti tutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney A Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu tional cure on the market. It is taken in ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea spoonful. It acts directly on tbe blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure, eend for circulars and tes timonials. Address, F. J.

A young second lieutenant, who had been graduated from the first class a couple of months before tbe regular graduation at West Point, had just joined Lis regiment and was walking down the street near the palace. He stopped on the corner, and as he did so an old grizzled sol dier with a growth of beard on bis face and wilh a cavalry sergeant’s stripe on his breeches, a blue shirt and campaign hat, but with no other mark of rank about his uniform ex cept his sergeant’s stripe, walked slowly down and stopped in front of the lieutenant, looking around at the different buildings Tbe young offi cer fidgeted a few moments under the manner in which the trooper ignored his proximity, and finally turned to him and said, sharply : “Here, you man, did any one ever teach you how to salute? ’ ‘•Yea sir,” drawled the trooper, as he glanced at the youngster. “ Well, knock your heels together,” said the young officer, and the trooper came to attention with the precision of an old soldier. “Now salute,” he said, and tbe trooper’s gauntlet came to the rim of bis bat and stayed there until the young lieutenant answered it, at the same time demanding : “Now remem ber this, and don’t let it happen again. What is your name and what do you belong to?” Without relaxing his position from attention the old trooper again re spectfully saluted, and remarked, dryly: “My name is Samuel Sumner, and I’m a brigadier general of the cavalry brigade,” whereupon the y >ung lieutenant proceeded to copy as many colors of tbe rainbow with bis face as was possible, and slipped away as scon as he dared, forgetting even to apologize. fM!TAT'^O I - iTv/ THE EXCELLENCE OF STRIP 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 Fio Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy.

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 stron-r '>d- r. Whjn ibuje sjmptoms 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 ru» , into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous J stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Boot, the great discovery of the eminent kidney and blad der specialist, is a positive remedy for i 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.
