The Third Georgia Will Soon be Baek
on Their Native Heath.
Washington, March 23 —'>'he Third
Georgia is loading on the L >gau at
Nuevitas and should sail by tomorrow
evening It will coma direct to Sa
vannah. The Logan according to
present plans will he sent immediate
ly hack to bring the Fourth Kentucky.
The latter regiment will be about the
last of the volunteers to go away. All
are expected to be in this country by
April 10.
Colonel Byjd slid this n 0 n ng tbit
the department had not ,k-ci !• d finally
whether the returning troops would
no established in temporary camps
pendirrg their muster out or would be
quartered in birracks Ihe latter is
being considered as advieaty.e as a
precaution against pneumonia attack
ing the soldiers who come from the
tropics.
Reports received at the war depart
ment from the medical officers serving
with troops in the Philippines show
that Aguinaldo’s army is using brass
tipped bullets.
Several American rolditrs have
been wounded by the poisonous pro
jectiles and in consiqnence the
wounds are more difficult to heal than
those caused by the ordinary bullet.
Os course the authorities can do noth
ing to prevent the insurgents using
anj’ kind of bullets they see fit.
They have no government to which
an appeal cun be made. Tbeir action
in this respect, officials say, is another
indication of their utter unfitness for
self-government.
A HEAVY LOSS-
W B Crowder Loses His Barn, Horses
and Wagons by Fire
W. B Crowder, living near Zetella,
sustained a heavy loss by fire about 10
o’clock Wednesday night. He was
awakened from bis slumbers by the
roar and crackling of flames and rush
ing to the door found his large barn
completely enveloped in fire.
He gave the alarm and called out
all the hands on hie place, but the fire
bad gained such headway before it
was discovered that it was impossible
to check it, and the barn and contents
were burned.
Mr. Crowder lost three fine horses,
one two-horse wagon, two one-horse
wagons, a buggy, surry, 500 bushels of
corn and a large quantity of fodder
and bay. It is not known how the
fire originated, but it is thought to
have been the work of an incendiary.
It could not ba learned whether he
had any insurance or not.
For Shoplifting.
Officers Connor and Flynt arrested
Lucy Connally, a negro woman, yes
terday upon the charge of shoplifting.
The negro would go into a store and
while the attention of the clerk was
diveited would pick up any article
that struck her • fancy and hide it
under a large cloak she always wore.
In this way’ she stole a large quami
ty of fine silks and other dress goods
furnishings and clothing.
The heaviest losers were Bass Bros,
Edwards Bros, M. Friedman and J.
Buckman. When the negro’s house
was searched a great deal of the stolen
goods was recovered and has been
claimed by the above named mer
chants .
The woman admitted that she stole
the goods belonging to Bass Bros., but
affirms that she bought the other from
a negro boy whose name she cannot
recall.
She was placed in jail and will
probably have a commitment trial to
day.
Discovered By a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that, too, by a lady in this
country. ‘Disease fastened its clutches
upon her, and for seven years she
withstood its severest tests, but her
vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent For three
months she coughed iuee-s-mtly, and
could not sleep. She finally discover
ed away to recovery, by purchasing
of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption, and was so
much relieved on taking first dose,
that she slept ad night ; a-'d with two
bottles, has been absolutely cured,
Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz” Tnue

RIP VAN WINKLE
It Was Charmingly Presented by Mr-
Samuel W Glena and Company
Owing to a counter attraction, the
audience at the opera house last night
was not a large one, but those who
were there were delightfully enter
tained in the presentation of that al
ways favorite, Rip Van Winkle. Mr.
Samuel W. Glenn, now 70 years and
6 months old, who was the first man
who ever took the part of Rip, who
started Joe Jefferson in the part in
Washington City in 1860, and was his
manager for several years, took it here
last night and suffered little by com
parison with the great actor who has
linked bis name with the play. The
public had been prepared in a meas
ure for a pleasing interpretation from
Mr. Glenn, but it was, after all, a de
lightful surprise. He was equally
strong in his humor and pathos and
one need not want to see the charac
ter of the amiable ne’er-do-well better
portrayed.
The company as u whole is an ex
cellent one. If one were called upon
to indicate its strongest members af
ter the star, mention would be made
of Hr. Bokee as Derrick, Mr. Ring as
Herman his nephew and Miss Granger
as Rip’s wife.
The specialties of the Rooney chil
dren, introduced belweer the third
and fourth acts, were very catchy and
the cunning little kids were liberally
applauded—Charlotte, N. C, Daily
Observer, Feb I'.h.
A Populist Move-
A few days ago a number of confed
erate veterans met in Columbus and
formed an association for the avowed
purpose of securing pensions from the
federal government. This action was
so amazing as to call forth much un
iavorable comment, and the News was
among the first to express its opinion
' freely and fully, deploring the fact
1 that any such men survived Appo
-1 mattox. The News’ editorial has
1 called forth a vigorous protest from j
1 one of the Columbus veterans, whose
communication, while entirely too
lengthy to reproduce in full, is worthy
-of a certain amount of space as indi
-1 eating the manner of men who make
' up ths Columbus pension grabbing
1 contingent. It is in part as follows:
' ‘We see you thank heaven there
are no sich old solduers in Bibb coun
> ty. Now just to show you that you
1 dont know what you are talking about
will say that we have several men of
bibb county on our role and exspect
to have as many as three fourths |th
1 of Bibbs old souldiers before we stop.
We have now somthing over 800, we
know v hat the matter is with you.
Yon are uneasy about your democrat
party. Well you may be for we ex
spect to Taire it all to peaces in this
I part of the country it use to be the
" solid south. It wont bo so anney
• longer. We’ll show you in the next
I governor's election what our object is.
’ Poore old souldiers leave his wife and
’ children go out and risk life stand all
1 the hardships of war and them that
did escape with theire lives has to
come back to be scorned at by young
’ whiskey bloats and cowards or never
heard a gun fire in battle. You are
, one of that heard. I dont think that
• you ever heard a gun fire in battle
3 and I dont blieve you would stay
1 theire long if you was to here one.”
i We confess that we were at first
■ surprised that confederate veterans
could be found who would either ask
’ or accept a pension from the federal
1 government; but we bad entirely
1 overlooked the populist party—that
1 element whose watchword is "some*
thing for nothing ’’
I And the above letter is conclusive
' evidence of the fact that neither all
the populists nor fools are dead yet.
We are glad, however, that the News’
editorial has smoked them out : has
1 established the fact that this plea for
g federal peneion.l is distinctly a populist
e movement —Macon News.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 24, 1899.
PEACH MEN IN SESSION
Swapped Observatioas as to Condition
of the Crop
The Georgia Fruit Growers’ Associ.i
lion was in session at the Brown House
pretty much ail day yesterday. The
attendance was very large, considering
the fact that it is generally conceded
that there will be no commercial peach
crop in the state this year
Mr. Dudley M Hughes of Danville
was present and as president of ths
association presided over the meeting.
Air. Charles S. Chase, land and indus
trial agent of the Southern rai’way,
with headquarters at Atlanta, was the
secretary. *
A number of talks regarding the
fruit crop were mads, and it was gen
erally agreed that there would be prac
tically no fruit shipped from Georgia
this year.
Capt. R E. Park raised the question
of whether it would be better to prune
the trees or cut them down and plant
new ones. The consensus of opinion
was that it would be better to thor
oughly prune the trees than it would
be to plant new ones.
State Entomologist Scott, who was
present, was of the opinion that not a
crate of peaches would bs shipped from
middle or southwest Georgia this year,
and there were several members pres
ent who, being familiar with the con
dition of the crop, gave the same opin
ion.
Dr. Pattilio of Lee county submitted
specimens of trees and foliage for the
purpose of showing what damage the
late freeze had done.
It was stated at the meeting that at
least 90 per cent, of the San Jose scale'
that has been so prevalent in the peach
orchards had been destroyed by the
late freeze and that the remaining 10
per cent, of them could be easily ex
terminated.
Information to the effect that the
Michigan, Kansas and Ohio fruit crops
had been set back four years was read,
and that only the trees close to the
lakes had been saved.
Col. John M. Stubbs, one of the
leading spirits in the association,
thought it was best to wait awhile be
fore deciding what action to take
about the trees. Col. Stubbs said he
thought the fruit growers shou d have
closer organization, and advocated
joining the State Horticultural Society.
In speaking of the damage done to
trees by the late cold snap, Col Stubbs
said he thought it would be better to
remove the affected trees altogether
than to cut back. In concluding his
remarks he moved that the society
meet again in Macon on the first Wed
nesday in May to decide whether it
was best for the members to remain as
an organization known as the Georgia
Fruit Growers’ Association or to join
1 the State Horticultural Society. The
1 motion was adopted and a meeting
called for that date.
At the afternoon session nothing
• further than an informal discussion of
I the situation was done and the con-
I vention adjourned.—Macon Telegraph.
Glorious News
r Comes from Dr. D B Cargile, of
’ Whaehita, I, T. He writes: “Four
r bottles of Electric Bitters has cuted
3 Mrs. Brewer of scrofula which had
t caused her great suffering for years.
8 Terrible sores would break out on her
head and face, and the best doctors
1 could give no help; but her cure is
complete and her health is excellent”
t This shows what thousands have
g proved—that Electric Bitters is the

’ The pleasant method and beneficial
9 effects of the well known remedy,
i Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
e tive principles of plants known to be
„ medicinally laxative and presenting
91 them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
g is the one perfect strengthening laxa
j tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
'• to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidnevs,
f liver and bowels, without weakening
r or irritating them, make it the ideal
j laxative.
j In the process of manufacturing figs
( are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
r remedy are obtained from senna and
8 other aromatic plants, by a method
s known to the California Fig Syrup
" Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
