The Survival of the Fittest.
WAYNESBORO, GA.. DECEMBER 21, 1901.
COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON.
The compliments of the season u>
all our patrons, friends and readers,
wishing them She happiest of Christ
mases and the most prosperous of
New Years, Sincerely hoping the
end of the twentieth century msy
find them each and all in the midst
of prosperity and that the succeed
ing 3 ear may keep them on the
highway of a continued success, wp
bid the old year farewell m pe»ce
and welcome the new with all our
heart and with open arms.
As our great country set ms satis
fied with itself; with its relations
with the nations of the earth; with
its importance as a great power,
with its rapid strides toward the
first in achievements let us all hope
it is well founded.
If our prosperity is upon a firm
foundation, charity should follow in
all the phases of life, and the litter-
ness of envy, spue, malice, should
be buried beyond resurrecting to
give place to those virtues -hat
abound in contented souls. The ut-
mo-t differences of opinions ought
to work for selfish purposes in so
far ouly as they lead to truth, which
Is the chief end of human existence
in its last analysis.
Joining with you >n the common
prayer that continued blessings
may come to oer county, our state
and vast nation we take up our part
o' the burden of laying the old year
peacefully away in th» archives of
memorr to enter into the future one
with renewed hopes and brighter
aspirations.
After several futile efforts, Mar
coni on Monday last succeeded in
sending a message through the air
across the Atlantic ocean, nearly
2,000 miles. Marconi Is an Italian
and this Is the first great triumph of
science in the new century. It is
certainly a marvelous discovery
and his invention that transmits
the message is as great a scientific
mai vel.
Ihe question arises where wi 1
Miss Stone bang h»r hose this X-
mas.
The Hub of the Universe is Dem
ocratic by a large majority and
Mayor Collins did it.
The edMors of the W. R. Hearst
newspapers of Chicago got consid
erably the best o f that very sensi
tive judge who found them guilty
of contempt of court for editorially
criticising him. Hearst is a fighter
with money to consume, and he
bucks the whole “eliooting cratch”
including the N. Y. Sun with its
Dana head and Dana malice. The
line has not yet been drawn how far
yellow journalism can go.
Respecting the endorsement of
Maclay by Crowninshie*d in slan
dering Admiral Schley t«e Atlanf
Journal has delivered the said (
an editorial biff that will make him
»hink when he reads if. There is
weli entrenched cabal, of which he
is the head, perhaps, in Washington
City, whose purpose has been to de
stroy Schley if they could. They
are awakening to the tact that the
people are behind Schley and a day
of reckoning may come even to so
distinguished a factor as the afore
said Crowninshield.
THE PARALLEL COLUMN,
Sampson’s Dispatch.
“Sec. of Navy.
3:15 p m Siboney.
July 3,1898
The fleet under
my command of
fers the nation as-
a Fourth of July
present the de
struction of the
whole of CerveraV
fleet.”
And now poor old Sampson pokes
up his ricetty head and calls Dew
ey’s verdict to task. Admiral Samp
son does not need a court of inves
tigation; a lunatico inquirendy
would be the proper Mother Hub
bard to fit on him.
Mrs. Stanley gives $30,000,000 to
the Stanford University of Califor
nia, and plain Mr. Carnegie is eiy-
$10,000,000 to the United States for,
what he wants known as, a ut iver-
sity of universities, to further edu
cate the educated.
If the adventurous warlord, Billy,
is on the wrong time of the moon
he may be fool enough to tread on
the coat tail of the Monroe doctrine.
Then our Roosevelt will put on his
hat—that rough-rider hat—and say
to“Me-und gott;” “Cum am y’r cad.”
Chilli and Argentina have patch
ed up their little snarl, which will
last a week or two, perhaps. What
is the matter with Chile, any how?
She has a length of 3,000 miles and
yet wants more. If she wishes to
spread out like Oom Sam she must
do like Sam; go into the Pacific
with her Mausers and civilize.
Dewey’* Verdict,
“ Commodore
Schley was the
senior officer o
our squadron ofi
Santiago when
i he Spanish
-quadrou a t
tempted to es
cape on the morn
mg of July 3J, 18
98 Ha «as
obsolute c o m
mand and is en
titled to the cred
it due to such
commanding of
ficer for the glo
rious victory re
■tubing in the de
-truction of the
Spanish ships.”
After the evidence before the
court of inquiry, ninety-nine out of
every hundred intelligent people
will say as Admiral Dewey has said
in his verdict.
THE
SCHLEY
By the way, how many times ha*
Lieut. R. P. Hobson been engaged
to marry since he sunk the Merri-
mac? He is up against it again,
so the papers say. Well he hasn’t
called Sampson the “Colossus of the
Spanish war” very recently, so lei’s
leave him alone in his glory,” hop
ing it’s the real thing this time and
that he’ll- have a MerrysmacA
X-rnas.
Massachusetts erected recently
tablets at Andersonville, Ga , to the
memory of 7G7 of her soldiers who
died there during the war. They
died because the U S secretary of
war refused to exchange them for
Confederate soldiers then in North
ern prisons. All tablets erected in
such cases are more to the memory
of their murderers north of the Po
tomac river than to the poor sol
diers of the Federal army whom the
otttb was ooaMe to maintain.
VERDICTS OF THE
COURT.
If the opinions of the majority I-
sufficient Admiral Schley could rest
assured that Dewey entirely vindi
cated him in a very few paragraphs
What Dewey said was enough and
it will be the world’s verdict The
hair splitting Ramsay and Benham,
who were a pair of unknowns until
they got on the court by accident,
which court Admiral Schley asked
for, can make as many reports as
they please, write as many books
and endorse all the Maeiays that
the navy cabal and Sampson can
hire without changing the world’s
Verdict one word,
Schley is the established hero of
Santiago Bay and Sampson is not
in it for a nickle’s worth, notwith
standing he got $25 000 for prize
monies for the vessels Schley de
stroyed. He will be handed down
as the smallest man that ever was
in the United States Navy for ac
cepting it under the circumstances.
Nobody expected anything else
from the two distinguished un
knowns which made up the tail end
of "ihe court, other than verdict
they rendered.
They even minced words to the
last degree when forced by the evi
dence to speak of Schley’s splendid
conduct during the battle. They
know he is the hero of the battle
yet did not have the manhood or
magmmity to say it. They are fit
exponents of S impson, It would
appear that two such hair splitters
would differ at least a little atnut
some parts of the evidence which
required nearly three months to
hear and is about the most volumi
nous record known; yet Admi
ral Dewey made a diverse verdict
tbeir opinions, by a most singular
TOO MUCH VOICE.
President Roosevelt distresses
the sly, insidious politician with his
loud voice. It seems as if he can’t
whisper even fo a justice of the su
preme court of the United States,
who gets off his lofty perch now
and then and goes on a political
lobbying tour to the White House.
The mission of one who wants to
get a thing unfairly is geneially
pursued stealthily and with es little
clamor as possible, whether he goes
to’teal a chicken or slip up on tne
blind side of a governor or cajole a
president. As soon as the strenuous
Roosevelt catches on to the purpose
of the fellow who wants to get some
thing away from the broad light of
day, he pulls the throttle to his
throat and his fog horn informs the
world that “here he Is.” Then you
see a eupreme court judge, who is
trying to thrust his son on the gov
ernment; or the politician asking
for patronage to pay a political
debt, or a friend and supporter
seeking loot for services rendered,
sneak away feeling meaner than
the chicken thief caught in a fowl
house.
An honest crank is better than
the spoils president in the White
House any day; but he has a hard
road to travel when he attempts to
fight all the hungry gang3 that are
forever dashing like the -waves of
the ocean against the keeper of the
national pie counter. The common
calamity of being denied, except for
merit, everything hoped for, will
unite the greedy throng to a man,
and the selfish under-tow will
honesty to sea and drown it.

a year, and . his re-election proved
our people appreciated his work
and deemed him an educator of
ability. But they both have learn
ed a new lesson under the tutilage
of master cupid which leads to the
happy event on X-mas day. May
their lives be as sweet and pure as

Hatching: Ostrich Egg*.
For several years attempts have been
made at Omaha and Los Angeles to
hatch the egg of the ostrich artificial

unsuccessful, the difficulty being the
application of moisture. Now, howev
er, an ostrich farm in Florida can boast
of the first incubator hatched ostrich in
the United States. The incubator re
quired forty-one days of careful watch
ing. The thermometer was kept at
110 degrees, and the moisture was ap
plied at intervals.
