OEFICIAL PAPER OF TERRELL COUNTY.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF CITY OF DAWSON.
DAWSON, GA., June BrH, 1898,
THE WAR SITUATION.
But little has happened in war cir
cles the past week. No battles have
occurred, and the Spanish fleet is said
to be still bottled up at Santiago. For
the purpose of more completely shut
ting up the Spanish ships, the Ameri
can ship Merrimac was carried into the
channel by a picked crew of eight men
under Lieutenant Hobson and blown
up by a torpedo. The men saved their
lives by leaving the Merrimac before-it
couid sink, but they were taken prison
ers by the Spaniards. * The work of re
ceving volunteers and preparing for
an invasion of Cuba continues.
A conTRIBUTOK to the Cosmopolitan
Magazine makes an interesting sug
gestion with regard te liquid air and
its possible uses in the forthcoming
Cuban campaign. The temperature
of liquified air is 312 degrees below
zero. The freezing point is death
to yellow fever germs. Liquified air
is now being manufactured in comnmer
cial quantities. It is the idea of the
Cosmospolitan’s contributor that with
liquidair temperature ot the hospit
al wards could be reduced to or below
the freezing point at the discretion of
physicians in charge, and maintained
there, thus protecting the nurses from
danger of contracting the fever and
facilitating the recovery of the pa
tients. The probabilities are that dur
ing the next few years there will be
wonderful developments in medicines
and mechanics with liquid air.
AccorpiNg to Messrs., Thrall and
Jones on one side and Colonel Cortijo
and Major Julian on the other there
1s nothing more delightful than being
the prisoners of the enemy in this war.
The Americans declare that they were
treated well in Havana; indeed, that
they received a number of delicate at
tentions which illustrated the chivalric
disposition of their captors. The
Spaniards say they were the objects
of most friendly demonstrations, and
received flowers and words of sympa
thy during their captivity. Possi
bly before the war is over, thinks the
Sayannah News, we shall discover that
all of the Spaniards are not “butchers”’
and they will learn that Americans are
not “‘pigs.”’
Ho~N. ALLEN D, CANDLER, in the nat
ural orderof things, will be the lastof
the gallant old veterans to be made
governor by the people of Georgia. His
triumph Monday was one of the most
complete in the history of the state.
He is a plain man of the people, and
the people showed their love for and
confidence in hun with their votes.
And be will give them a clean, eco
nomical, unostentatious and business
like administration, free of politics and
the ways of the ringsters.
Tue official oath as an officer in the
United States army was administered
to General Fred Grant, theson of his
father, at Chickamauga by Judge
George Harris, an ex-confederate of
Rome, Ga., and the ceremony was wit
nessed by a large concourse of people,
in which were many old confederate
and federal soldiers. The scene was
one unique in the history of the coun
try.

THE senate has put in the war bill
a clause providing for the issuance of

The appointment of the governor has
been urged particularly on the ground
that it is the best way to insure (Georgia

A great deal of secrecy is being main
tained abour the r.atter. Those of the
governor's friends who have been
strongly for im all the time and who
are taking the l2ad ie the second effort
are extremely reticent about it, and meet
all questions with evasions or denials,

INVASION NOTr BEGUN,
Women and Children in Cuba Starving.
Their Condition Pitiable,
Tampa, FLa., June 4 —With the es
tablishment of general army headquarters
at Tampa, and with Maj. Gen. Miles on
the ground personally airecting the
movements of the army, affairs here, al
most stagnact for some time, have again
taken on coonsiderable activity, but no
embarkation of troops Lag as yet taken
place from this point,
All the work of preparing the army for
the campaign still continues with una

Col. J. H. Dorst, who was in charge
of the recent expedition on the steamer
Florida describes the condition «f the
women and children as pitable in the ex
treme,
When the steamer Florida reached
Point Banes, on the north coast of Cuba,
where the supplies of arms, ammunition
aud provisions were ianded, it was met by
acr wd of perhaps 300 pacificos, many
of them emaciated to the last extremnity
by long privations,
Nearly half of thess unfortunates were
women, and, according to Col. Dorst,
scarcely one of them had more than a
single garmen', and that in tatters.
Many of the children were absolutely
naked and their appeals for food when
the first boat from the Florida landed on
the beach were heart-rendering.

Mr. Bryan’s Error.
From the New York World.
Tne present outlook is that the gov
ernment will not be able to avail itself of
Mr. Bryan’s offer of his services for mil
itary purposes. The offer was promptly
made and was dictated by the same spir
it of patriotism which opened recruiting
offices all over the country, and which
’sought to lessen as far as possible the in
‘evitable difficulties of the government in
creating on short notice an army out of
the availible but untrained material on
which it had to depend.,
There is no fault to be fouad with Mr,
Bryaun’s intentions, but his course be
trayed a lamentable -ignorance of the
conditions under which such a govern
ment as ours goes to war.. While Mr.
iryaa’s ancestry i 8 respectable it does
not occupy that exalted position in
American society which entitles its de
scendants to appeintments and commis
sions in the army regardless of their lack
of national intelligence or mihtary expe
rience.
Mr. Bryan is not the son of a cahinet
officor, nor of a senator, nor of a member
ot congress, nor of a millionaire; he is
not even nephew of a governor nor of an
ex-congressman. He has absolutely no
claim whatever to a commission on an
cestral grounds, and the trifling circum
stance that something wore than six
millhions of his fellow-citizens considere
him qualified to serve as comwander-in
chict of the army and navy of the United
States is so far from recommending him
that 1t is probably the reison why he has
been persistenily snubbed in his modest '
effort to be of service to his country. |

COUNTY TREASURER UTTERBACK RECALL
EXPERIENC™ ON THE BATTLEFIELD,
Has been Aiflicted for Thirty Years
Army Diarrhaa,
A REMEDY FOUND AT Lag
From the Nonpareil, Council Bluffs, lowa.
County Treasurer A. Utterback, of Glen
wood, la., has long been one of the leading
citizens of Mills County, and since the
days of his service for the Union ecause
has labored industriously at his home in
Rawls township, with the result that he
has not only surrounded himself with almost
all the comforts heart could wish, but has
own into the esteem of his fellsw men.
%Iris popularity and standing, therefore,
made his election to the County Treasurer
ship easy. His work as County Treasurer,
however, was confining. Coming as he did
from an active outdoor life on tie farm to
the close and confining duties of the treas
urer’s office, he quickly began to run down
in health and to visibly fniF in strenfith and
energy. The Deputy Treasurer, r. Lon
Sawyer, is a great believer in the efficacy of
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. His constant
advise to his employer, Mr. Utter back, was
to the effect that he should wuse these
piils. Finally Mr. Utterback consented,
and now after having used several boxes he
'3 able to make the following statement to
vour correspondent :
‘‘Have I used Pink Pills? Yes, sir, and
[ shall continue to use them just so long as
hey benefit me as they donow. It is rarely
hat [ use proprietary medicines, but my
leputy was so enthusiastic over this particu
iar medicine that I consented to try it, and
{ can assure you the henefit has been great.
“I was a member of Company F, 15th
lowa Infantry, and saw my first day’s ser
vice in the battle of Shiloh. The campaign
before Corinth and later the Siege of Vicks
burg were important events in the service as
seen by our company, and as you can readily
imazine we were greatly exposed and af
times but poor!y cared for during those awful
days. In my case, army diarrhcea was the
result. It has been the burden of my life
for over thirty years, but at last [ have found
something to conquer it. The Pink Pills
are & success in my case, as [ have no doubt
they will be with all who will use them.” |
The reporter afterwards called upon
Wm. Skillicorn, the popular druggist, and
from him gained the information that Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills have reached a most.
surprising sale in this community. *“ But
of all the enres,” said the pharmacist, ““that
of Treasurer Utterback is the most remark
able and, at the same time, the most gratify- 1
in(:.” ’
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People |
