OEFICIAL PAPER OF TERRELL COUNTY.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF CITY OF DAWSON.
DAWSON, GA., JoLy 13tH, 1898.
A SORRY LOT.
Recent events have confirmed the be
lief that the Cuban insurgents are a
sorry lot—shiftless, ignorant, coward
ly and treacherous.
When the Spanish general, Pando,
with 4,000 troops, was seeking to effect
a juncuure with the beleagured forces
of General Linares at Santiago the{ in
surgentichief, Garcia, was ordered by
General Shafter to take the 3,000 Cu
ban troops under his command and in
tercept Pando. The Cubans marched
bravely away to the point of inter
ception, but upon theapproach of Pan
do’s soldiers they turned tail and ske
daddled as fast as their legs could
carry them.
Upon the return of Garcia and his
men to the American camp the Cuban
soldiers were directed to assist the
American troops in the work of open
ing up the road for the transportation
of supplies to the front. They refused,
saying they were soldiers and not la
borers.
The matter has been reported to the
war department at Washington, and
the so-called Cuban soldiers have been
placed in a separate camp under police
regulations. They have proven them
selves to be a lazy and cowardly band
of guerrillas, and can’t be depended
upon to renderjany aid to the American
army.
NO RESERVED SEATS.
[n closing his speech accepting the
democratic nomination for governor
Colonel Candler said :
“In accepting your banner I do so
with no old scores to settle, no friends
to reward and no enemies to pumish,
and with an earnest desire to lead our
party to a victory crowned with the
old-timed democratic majority. To
this end 1 invoke the active support
and co-operation of all who beheve in
the cardinal doctrines of democracy,
no matte: how they may have differed
in the past on questions of minor im
portance and matters of mere party
policy. To me all of them are demo
crats, and I promise them that so long
as I preside at its head there shall be
no reserved seats at the party council
board.”
It was a plain, vigorous speech with
the ring of sincerity aboutit,and it was
received with tremendous applause all
the way through, The closing state
ment that there would be no reserved
seats met with an unusual demonstra
tion of approval. ,
Hox. Joux AkKIN, president of the
Georgia Bar Association, made a sen
sational address at the opening of the
seventeenth annual convention of that
association in Atlanta Thursday, in
which he attacked very vigorously the
federal judiciary. He attacked the
federal courts on the ground that they
ar: unduly influenced by corporations,
and that nearly all their decisions
show bias in that direction. This pa
per is unable to say how far Mr. AKkin
is right or how for he is wrong in his
strictures, but we are disposed to en
dorse the proposition that a judge
wields too much power for one man.
If he uses the power wisely and right
ly, very good;butif he happens to be a
power-loving, tyranical, unscrupulous
judge he is a constant menace to indi
viduals and communities.
Tae Columbus Enquirer-Sun notes
that the telegraph and express
companies are shirking their part of
the war taxes. When congress passed
the lJaw requiring messages and pack
ages to be stamped its intension was
that these stamps be paid for by the
companies. However, these artful
dodgers have shifted the burden and
require their patrons to furnish the
stamps. Pracuically this is equivalent to
an advance in rates, and is an unpatri
otic and unwarranted action. The gov
ernment should take these corpora
tions in band and compel them to bear
their just part of the war burden.
Tae Brunswick Times knows a thing
or two. Hear it: *“One of the most
unpleasans features of the present war
is the disposition of a certain eclass
of picayune politicians to ride into of
fice over the field of battle. When the
smoke shall bave cleared away the pub
lic will see what it might have known
in the first place, that the true heroes
are often those obscure and silent toil
ers whose names are seldom in the pa
pers, but whose bodies are often left to
moulder in unknown graves.”
Dowx at Blakely Dr. Howard, whose
pungent pen never permits any dull
ness 1n his Early County News, is 1n a
controversy with a preacher who is op
posed to the bibulous citizens of that
bailiwick being supplied with the
main ingredients of toddies through
a dispensary. The good doctor has
much the better of the argu
ment. A puzzling spectacle is a man
who is constantly denouncing the evils
of the saloon and at the same time fa
voring the open barroom in preference
to a strict regulation of the whiskey
traflic.
Tae Baltimore American thinks ‘it
is a striking coincidence that Samuel
J. Tilden, Grover Cleveland and Wil
liam J. Bryan, the three most notatle
leaders of the democracy since the civil
war, are all on record against such en
terprises as the annexation of Hawaii
and the Philippines. Representatives
of sound money democracy and repre
sentatives of the silver democracy find
a basis for united action in saying no
to the new departure of American
policy.”
Mr. HoGaN, the populist nominee
for governor, opened his campaign
vesterday at Powder Springs, where he
spoke to a large crowd of people com
posed of citizens of Cobb, Paulding
and Douglass counties, Mr, Hogan is
agitating the atmosphere uselessly. A
certain one-eyed citizen is scheduled
to take the affairs of state in hand.
THE unanimous and enthusiastic re
nomination of Congressman Griggs at
Albany Thursday was 'a deserved
tribute to an able and faithful publia
servant. Althougn serving his first
term) infcongress, Judge Griggs has
established for himself a reputation as
one of the ablest and most eflicient
members of that body.
It seems that Hon. W, A. Dodson of
Sumter will be the president of the
nextv senate. In fact, it is said that he
already has the fight whipped. Colo
nel Dodson 1s one of Georgia’s ablest
roung men, and would grace a higher
place than the presidency of the state.
The future should be full of honors for
him,
CoNGRrEss annexed the Hawaiian is
lands Thursday and adjourned Friday.
To say nothing of the new policy this
commits the country to, it gives us a
class of people that are not desirable as
citizens. As Tom Watson has express
ed it, we bave more half-breeds now
than the law allows.
Tue Kansas volunteers are disposed‘
to resent the order that they bathe
their feet at least once a day. 'l‘heyl
think 1t a reflection upon their person
al habits. They desire it understood
that they bathe their feet about as
often as anybody else, and that they
wear socks, too.
SENATOR TiLLMAN’s Fourth of July
oration at Barnesville was a great
speech to a great crowd. As he was
about to conclude yells of “Go on! go
on!"” ecame from the great throng, and
they got ninety hot minutes instead of
sixty.

disgusted with the ‘**kids’’ who are

1 MARCH IN CUBA.
TROOPS ENCOUNTER THE FIRST
TROPICAL RAINSTORM.,
For Three Hours a Great, Cold Torrent
Kwept Down from the Clouds. A Thou
sand Forms of Terror. &
NEAR SANTIAGO.—NoO man who did
pot go over the trail in the march of
Shafter’s men from Baiquiri to Santiago,
no man who was not 1a the terrible down
pour of rain which drenched the Ameri
can army to the skin this afternoon, can
understand the suffering of our troops
and the heroism with which they bear it.
Cavalrymen, dismounted for the first
time in years, and infantrymen from cool
Michigan and Massachusetts, toiled hour
after houralong these so-called roads and
paths through the jungles of cacti, poison
vines, and high grasses that cut like a
razor, in a blistering sunlight that makes
the sky lines of the distant hills shimmer
and waver before the eyes, while from
the stagnant pools strange, gray mists
float upward, and vyultures with out
stretched wings look greedily down from
above,
The vegetation torn down and tram
pled under foot by our troops has ter
mented, and a horrible sour breath arises
from the earth. Curious stenches steal
from the hidden places in the jungle.
Thousands of gigantic land crabs,
spotted with yellow and red, wriggle
and twist themselves along the side of
the roads, with ieprous, white claws
clicking vicionsly—a ghastly, dreadful
sight to youung soldiers fresh from New
York, Boston, and Detroit. Ragged
Cubans slip noiselessly through the
undergrowth or sprawl uncer the shade
of huge gossamer trees watching with
childish pleasure the onpush of their
American defenders,
The heat is almost intolerable. The
sun is like a great yellow furnace, tort
uring everything living acd turning
everything dead into a thousand myste
rious foras of terror.
The fierce light swims 1n waves before
the eyes of the exhausted soldiers. This
morning a youny infantryman reeled and
fell in the road almost under the feet of
the mule ridden by your correspondent,
When 1 helped him to his feet he smiled.
Five minutes afterwards he was trudg
ing along gallantly,
Two hours later the first great tropi
cal rainstorms we have encountered fell
from the sky, not slant #ise, but strzight
down. It was the fitst actual test of the
army in a most dreadful experience of
the tropics. For three bhours a great
cold torrent swept down from the clouds,
drenching the soldiers to the skin, soak
ing blankets, and carrying misery into
all our vast camp, reaching out on either
side of the trail extinguishing camp fires,
and sending rivers of mud and red water
swirling along the narrow road dashing
over rocks, where the trail iuoclined
downward, and through this filthy fiood
the army streamed along, splashing 1n
the mud and water or huddling vainly
for shelter under the trees.
An hour before the heat was so iutense
‘hat men reeled and swooned, but now
came one of the mysterious transforma
tions of the tropics. The whole army
shivered, and robust men could be seen
shaking from head to foof, turned gray
and white, Millions ¢f land crabs came
ciatteritg and squirming from under
the poisonous undergrowth, and the sol
diers crushed them under thzir heels.
Every man who had quinine swallowed a
‘dose. The officers, spiashed with mud
to their hips, hurried here and there,
urging the men to strip naked when the
rain was over and dry their ,clothes at
the camp-fires.
Presently thousands of men were
standing about naked, while the sun
drew up thick vapors from the earth
ard vicious tropical flies stung their
white skins, The American army is a
noble body of men whenstripped. Think
of the tremendous strain of heat like
this, and rain like this, in one day on
men from a northern climate, and yet
there was not one word of complaint
from anywhere,
The writer has seen several armies in
the field, but he never saw a more splen
did exhibition of cheerful endurance,
Pimples and biotches on the face are

CUT THEIR HEADS OFF.
From the Macon Telegraph.
‘““fhis morpning,”’ writes a war corre
spondent from Santiago, on the second
day of the battle, *‘a few Spauniards were
found in a blockhouse firing upon the
Americans and doing some damage. A
Spanish prisoner was told to go t» the
blockhonse and tell those inside that the
Americans were about to fire a dynamite
gua at them and that it would be bet
ter for them to surrender. When the
Spaniards were told this they came out
and gave themselves up to the Ameri
cans. They were given in care of the
Cubans, and a little later they were
found with their heads cut off.”
This is one of the many and multiply
ing evidences of the barbarism of the
alleged Cuban patricts. They take no
prisoners ot war, They are as blood
thirsty as the Indian and as fierce as the
Zulu,
Cuba Libre will mean more trouble
for Uncle sam .
See what T. W. Pattou of Lane, Tex.,
says of Begg’s (German Salve: ‘‘l have
been troubled for the past four years
with Blind, [tehing and Bleeding Piles,
and tried everything I cou'd hear of
without success until I began using
Begg’s German Salve. The effoct was
wonderful; I was relieved at once, and
am now, atter using two boxes, entirely
cured, Sold by Sale-Davis Drug Co.
THIS AND TBAT,
The fight off Santiagn between the
fleets has brough®Captain **Jack’ Phil
‘ips of the Texas strougly into public no
tice; and he stands well the sarutiny,
since it shows him to be a christian gen
tleman as well as an intrepid fighter.
When the Spaniards sallied out of the
‘harbor on that fateful Sunday morning
they began the battle. As their first shot
was fired Philips observed: ‘“That means
‘defeat for them; the party that fires the
first shot in battie on Sunday is sure to
‘be defeated. It is true as far back as his
‘tory goes.”” When one of the Spanish
cruisers had been beached and her flag
was being hauled down an explosion oc
curred on board of her, The men of the
Texas started to cheer. ‘‘Don’t cheer,
‘boys,” called Captain Phitips, “those
poor devils are dying.” When
tbe fight had been completed and
the victory won Captain Philips
called upon his men to join him
in a silent prayer of thanksgiving to Al
mighty God. These three inciients give
an insight into the character of the man.
He is an honor to his country.
The girl who'd faint if required to
sweep the house, but who can dance all
night, will doubtless read the tollowing
with alarm: ‘‘An average waltz takes a
dancer over about three-quarters of a
mile. A square dance makes him cover
a half mile. A girl with a well-filled |
programme travels thus in one evening:
Twelve waltzes, nine miles; four other
dances, haif a mile each, two miles; the
intermission stroll and the trips to the
dressing room to renovaie her gown and
complexion, half a mile. Grand total, |
114 miles.”’
A correspondent in Florida writes the
Sayannah News as follows: ‘“‘On top of
the unfortunate freeze of last winter has
come a drought which, 1n many ways,
has been as serious as the freeze. There
have been only a half dozen light show
ers in nine months. Most of the sur
viving orange trees have shed their
leaves. They are now, however, in full
bloom, and it is hoped they will make a
late orange crop.”
“Don’t forget the war stamps,” says|
the Chicago Times-Herald, To which a
Tennessee editor replies: “We will not,
We went to the bank to draw two dol
lars the other day and the darned bank
wouldn't allow us to draw out our own
money until the check was stamped, and
as we didn’t have a cent we coulan’t buy
astamp. Thisisa h—lll of a country,
anyway.”’
State to Borrow Money.,
Governor Atkinson has gone to New
York to borrow $200,000 for the state,
with which to pay the school teachers. l

' : It isn’t much trouble
for a really healthy man
to be good humored.
Jollity and exhuberant health are a pro
verbial combination. The hearty man who
is always laughing doesn’t have any trouble
with his digestion. It has been said that
laughing makes people healthy. The truth
is that health makes people laugh.
It is impossible to estimate the tre
mendous influence of health upon human
character. A man with a headache will
not be in a happy, contented frame of
mind. A man who suffers from a weak
stomach and an impaired digestion will sit
and grumble through the best meal ever
prepared. A bilious man who is not a
bore, is deserving of a place in a museum.
A nervous man who is not petulent and
fault-finding is a curiosity. All these con
ditions lead to grave diseases, when the
victim becomes not only disagreeable, but
dependent as well. A wise wife will real
ize that while the old saying that a ‘‘ man’s
heart is in his stomach,” is not literally
true, it is a fact that his stomach ‘sweetens
or sours his character according as it is
healthy or unhealthy. Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery is the best of medicines
for the cenditions described. It makes
the weak stomach strong, the impaired
digestion perfect, invigorates the liver,
purifies and enriches the blood and tones
the nerves. It tears down half-dead, inert
tissues and replaces them with the. firm
muscular tissues of health. It builds new
and healthy nerve fibres and brain cells,
It dissipates nervousness and melancholy
and imparts mental elasticity and courage,
It is the best of all known medicines %or
nervous disorders.
“Through your skillful treatment I am once
more a well man,” writes J. N. Arnold, Esq., of
Gandy, Logan Co.. Nebr. ™I suffered for years
and could not find relief until I commenced
taking your ‘' Golden Medical Discovery.’ I suf
fered with constipation and torpidity of liver
which resulted in irritation of the prostate and
inflammation of the bladder. I had only taken
one bottle when I found great relief. The medi
cine has effected a permanent cure.”
