THE MORNING CALL. Vol. X. No. 170. loading at nuevitas. 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 writes W c.

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. r *" 1 CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. .

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 . best blood purifier known.
