In a recent issue of the Griffin News, Dr. J. C. Beauchamp, of Williamson, a well-known physi cian, citizen and legislatorof Pike, had the following interesting arti cle: Recently, while reading an old volume, entitled: “Dramatic Scenes and Incidents in the life of Napoleon Bonaparte,” I came across a paragraph, which might be of some public interest, in view of recent events connected with our navy. The English Admiral Cockburn, while conveying his distinguished prisoner to the Island of St. Hele na, had frequent conversations with Napoleon. During one of these conversations, Napoleon, discussing the of the French navy, and the reason for the same said: “The French Ad mirals had generally, upon coming to action lost too much time, and been too anxious about forming lines and making maneuvers which had ultimately proved of no ade quate advantage; ho had therefore desired that they might be in structed that for the future on ap proaching an enemy, a signal to form a line, as convenient for mutual support, and afterwards a signal to engage, would always be deemed fully sufficient to make to those under their orders; and after this the captain of every ship of the licet was to beheld in dividually responsible to the gov ernment tor getting the ship he commanded quickly into close battle, and doing his best, towards the destruction of someone of the enemy; which would pre vent the captains from covering their own neglect, by attributing errors to their chief.” This great master of the science of war on land seems to have had very little respect for naval boards of strategy, who conducted manou verings at long law, and Schlej, the hero of Santiago, would have been the ideal admiral for the great warrior, had he lived and fought the great naval battle in Napoleon’s day. Another fact I note in this old volume, is that the Count Lefebre- Desnouotts, with the Baron Lalle mand, fled to America after the battle of Waterloo, and helped to form the “Champ d’ Ail,” in Texas. In tin* literature at my command 1 have failed to fi ml enlightenment as to this particular settlement in Texas by the French exiles. Per haps you or someone of your readers may lie able tothrowsome light on this point. Truly, J. C. Bkauchamp. Williamson, Ga., Feb. 28. A Georgia editor thus declines tn become a candidate for office; “No, kind but deluded friends, the mission of the hireling who holds the plow handles of this pa per is to keep the fires burning on the altar of liberty and the bea con light blazing on the shore of tilin' at $1 per blaze invariably in advance. He dpes not hunger or thirst after official life. He did think once he would like to go to the legislature, but he has grown in grace since then and uprified his system of that unholy desire. Since then he has not yearned a single yearn nor hankered a single hank after political distinction.” ■ TUmm*** I ~ iff WOMANS RELIEF A really healthy woman has lit tle pain or discomfort at the 'menstrual period.

THE BABNESVILLE NEWS-* WASHINGTON LETTER Chatty Oosslp About Our Royal Visi ltor--How nr. Roosevelt Fooled The German Detective-* A Duel Between Tillman and Mc- Laurin--Senator De pew’s Dinner,.Etc. From our regulnr correspondent. Washington, D. C., February 20.—Prince Henry’s visit reminds me that a society for the preven tion of cruelty to princes will be a pressing need if the royal fami lies contract the habit of sending princes to visit us. If someone was known to work a hired man as Prince Henry has been worked this week that portion of our pop ulation which makes a specialty of looking after o. p. —other peo ple’s business —would be howling to beat a score of bands. He must be naturally industrious or be would have revolted at the programme arranged for him. Of course, “everybody as is anybody” in Washington will tell as long as they live about what they said to the Prince and what the prince said to them, and about ninety nine per cent of it w'ill be what McLaurin said Tillman told and thereby got hit in the jaw and had them both put in legislative lock for an indefinite period. Asa matter of cold fact very few have had an opportunity to talk to the Prince. At the White House a few got a chance to shake hands and “pass the time o’day” with him when he called; at the ban quet a few more got the same chance; it was the same on the special train that carried him back, at the launching, and at the banquet on the royal yatch. And of the few that got the opportuni ty to talk to him still fewer got any talk out of him, as he was wise enough to let the other fellow do most of talking. His object seems to be to gain information, not impart it. Two German detectives were posted outside the German embas sy while Prince Henry was there. One of them had a camera and said that he intended to get a snap shot at President Roosevelt when he called on the Prince, but lie didn’t. The President called and went away before the detect ive knew anything about it. He went in a carriage alone, and the detective was looking for him to come with a bodyguard of soldiers. Lovers of good music are much pleased with the organization of a permanent symphony orchestra by about sixty of the best musicians in Washington, under the conduc torshipof Mr. Reginald l)e Koven, the well known composer, which was this week consumated. Mr. I)e Koven has secured a guarantee fund of SIO,(XX) for the mainte nance of the orchestra, which will at once begin rehearsals for its first public concert. Ex-Attorney General and Mrs. Grigg have been in town several days and have been the recipients of marked social attention, in cluding several large dinner par ties. Mr. Griggs says his visit was necessitated by legal business and that he brought Mrs. Grigg along so she could visit some of the many friends she made while residing in Washington. The talk about a duel between Senators Tillman and McLaurin as a result of their scrap that occurred on the'floor of the senate has at no time been seriously con sidered. notwithstanding the big headlines in the yellows. Speak ing of that talk, Mr. J. T. Hollo way, a prominent South Caroli nian, now in Washington, said: “It is out of the question. The sentiment of our state is so averse to settling of personal difficulties iu that way that no man who en gaged in a duel could ever hope to gain public favor. Besides we have a rigid state law that makes a par ticipant in a duel forfeit the right to vote or hold office. A resort to pistols would make them both ob jects of ridicule. The code is as defunct down our way as slavery.” There were at least two big men in town this week whose coming had no connection with the visit of Prince Henry, although one of them attended the White House dinner in his honor. By a coin cidence they were both registered at the same hotel. They were Hon. Richard Onley, of Mass., who was credited with the author ship of a paper, while serving as secretary of State that made his contempt for royalty, even of the toned down brand, apparent to all the world, and Hon. Thomas B. Reed, of New York and Maine, who enjoyed the title of Czar too long to give any attention to one so small as prince. Both gentle men were here on business before the U. S. Supreme Court. Mrs. Maria Y. Dongell, of Salt Lake City, a daughter of Brigham YounAh the Mormon leader, who THURSDAY, MARCH S, 1902. \*J-r a delegate to the National Council of Women, which closed its sessions this week, is still in Washington, engaged insight-see ing and social enjoyment. She never tires of talking of her father, who she firmly believes was one of the country’s greatest men. She is also quite a humorist, as this little dig at Mark Twain’s egotism, uttered in the course of a eulogy on her father, will show-: “Every- one who met my father felt acer- 1 tain awe of him. You remem ber, even Mark Twain said that Brigham Young made him feel small.” Senator Depew entertained a few poor devils at dinner a few days ago whose financial status caused the facetious to speak of the affair as “Depew’s pauper dinner.” His guests included Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, who is cred ited with having made S42,CXX>,- (XX) within a year, not to mention the few additional pennies he picked up through this week’s Su preme Court decision against the state of Minnesota in the railroad merger case; Mr. William Rocka feller, who doesn’t get quite as much of the Standard Oil drip pings as John D., but still gets quite fairly lubricated. Judge Henry J. Howlard, whose legal finger-marks can usually be found on the edge of the biggest finan cial pies; Mr. A. J. Cassatt, presi dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Cos. and practical boss of several others; Mr. Marwin Hewett, a member of the well-known New York family which has added largely to the fortune of Peter Cooper, which it inherited; Sena tor Hanna, who never has to stay out of the financial game for lack of the ante: Wayne MacVeagh, son-in-law of the late Simon Cam eron, and manipulator of high priced law; C. A. Griscom, who has a few millions in steamships; Secretary Root, and four or five others who have crossed the five million mark and are beginning to lie recognized in the financial world as being worthy of an occa sional invitation to dinner. Canning FaGury to Operate Attain. Mr. George W. Lowclen has writ ten to parties here that he will operate the canning factory here again next summer, and on a larger scale than heretofore. He will not only can peaches but tomatoes and possibly other vegetables as well. He is particularly anxious to have tomatoes to can and there fore the people around Barnes ville may grow them profitably in large quantities. If we understand it correctly, Mr. Lowden expects to make tomatoes a specialty. He is an experienced canner and will be in position doubtless, to pay the highest market price. Such an enterprise is certain to lie worth much to the city and community. It furnishes a market for such a produce and profitable employment for quite a number of people, at a season too, when there is not much else doing. We would be glad to see local porties establish and operate a large cannery in Barnesville. HAYING A RUN ON CHAMBER LAIN’S COUGH REMEDY. Between the hours of eleven o’clock a. m. and closing time at night on Jan. 25th, 1901, A. F. Clark, druggist, Glade Springs, Va., sold twelve bottles of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. He says, ‘‘l never handled a medicine that sold better or gave better satisfaction to my customers.” This Remedy has been in general use in Virginia for many years, and the people are well ac quainted with its excellent qualities. Many of them hare testified to the re markable cures which it lias effected. When you need a good, reliable medi cine for a cough or cold, or attack of the grip, use Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and you are certain to be more than pleased with the quick cure which it affords.
