displays a predeliction for slang that
is suspiciously feminine.

The third regiment of immunes,
commanded by Col. P. H. Ray,
reached Macon last Sunday from
Cuba, and will be in camp there un
til mbstered out of service.
A young son of Mr. N. O. Jordan
was accidently killed while playing
baseball near Americus last Satur
day. He was struck on the head by
a bat that slipped from the hands of
one of the players.
It has been recently suggested
that the United States swap the
Philippine Islands for the English
possessions in the West Indies, the
government of Great Britain being
agreeably inclined.
It is not yet positively known
when the third regiment of Georgia
volunteers will be mustered out of
service, though preparations to that
end are now progressing. The reg
iment is in camp at Augusta. _

The aggregate wealth of the peo
ple of the United States was said to
be $65,000,000,000 in 1890. It is
now estimated that this wealth will
be one hundred and ten billions of
dollars in 1900. This is twice the
wealth of any other nation on the
globe.
The Cuban assembly was dissolv
ed upon its own motion last week,
and Gen. Gomez has been restored
to command of the Cuban army.
Several Cuban generals will assist
Gen. Brooke to distribute the $3,-
000,000,000 provided by the United
States government for the Cuban
soldiers.
In the Philippine Islands the U.
troops continue to gain victories,
e latest being the capture of San-
Cruz. T% American casualties
lounted to only six men wounded,
tiile the killed and wounded of the
ilipinos was over 100. This cap-
red city was a stronghold of the
surgents.
Mn. Walter R, Jackson killed his
wife, child and himself at their home
in Albany on Wednesday of last
week. A fit of insanity is said to
have been the cause. We are told
Mr. Jackson was a son of the late
Mr. Albert Jackson, who lived in
Houston and Perry when a boy and
young man.
Ex-Congressman James Hamilton
Lewis, formerly one of the most elo
quent advocates of “Cuba Libre” in
the House, is said to be now an an
nexationist in every fiber. He has
been making a personal investiga
tion of Cuban conditions, and is
convinced that it would be a mistake
to give the natives a government of
their own.—Savannah News.
The cruiser Detroit has gone to
Bluefields, Nicaragua, to protect
United States interests in that quar
ter. It is said that Gen Torres, the
special agent of President Zelaya,
has demanded double duty on mer
chandise, contrary to law and jus
tice. There are similar causes of
dissatisfaction at Costa Rica, and
this government will support its
protest with force, if necessary.
Pol :ticians that have been inves
tigating Cuban conditions say that
island should be annexed to the
United States. ThS ground-work of
this opinion is the declared belief
that the Cubans, as a whole, are in
capable of forming and sustaining
an independent government. Be
that as it may, there has already
been too- much politics in. the Cuba
business, and there should be no fur
ther accumulation on that line.
On tlie Right Line.
Nearly every newspaper reader in
Georgia will unhesitatingly declare,
if questioned, that crime resulting
from personal violence has steadily
increased in the state within the last
several years.
If this be really true, it is most
deplorable, and it should not be that
our civilization cannot effectually ap
ply a remedy. Of course law will not
entirely prohibit crime, but it should
prevent any increase disproportion
ate to the increase of population.
This subject was discussed by the
Georgia Baptist convention at Sa
vannah last week Of the report up
on which that discussion was based,
the Macon Telegraph says:
“The Georgia Baptist convention
assembled at Savannah promises to
be of use to the commonwealth at
large as well as to its own church
organization. On Monday Judge
George Hillyer, ex-mayor of Atlanta
and formerly on the bench of the
Superior court, presented a report
from the committee on crime and
lynehings, claiming that the law was
slow to convict, and suggesting an
appeal to the legislative body calling
for such an amendment to the code
of criminal proceedure as will en
large the powers of the courts and
make plain to all men the fact that
the law is willing and able to do
prompt and complete justice in ev
ery ca^e. The dispatches summa
rize the matter of the report as fol
lows:
“ ‘Judge Hillyer said that in the
United States there were more ho
micides than in Scotland, England
and Prussia. The matter had been
brought before the bar association
in 1894 and 1896. In 1894 there
were 5,000 homicides in the United
States, and in 1896 there were 10,-
000. In the past year more homi
cides were committed in the United
States than were killed in Cuba, and
more than fell at Gettysburg or in
the Philippines. People were losing
confidence on account of the law’s
slowness to do justice. The press
has been remarkably quick in bring
ing the matter before the public, but
the ease with which the verdicts are
set aside in the court room, and the
facility with which notorious crimi
nals escape punishment have brought
much of this about. The amount of
crime is increasing,and it seems that
the criminal is the only one who has
any rights. The people lose confi
dence in the effectiveness of the law
to punish criminals. Hence the in
crease in lynehings.’
“While it may well be doubted if
the law’s delay or weakness is more
than a minor cause of the frequent
lynehings of negroes, it must be ac
cepted as the main cause of resort to
lynching in the case of white men.
And certainly it is a constant en
couragement to the actual and in
tending criminal. Judge Hillyer’s
startling figures prove once more
the existence of a dangerous and
growing tendency of the day to deal
gently with the enemies of society,
heedless of or blind to the injury
thereby done to society itself. But
the courts are not alone responsible
for the frequent failure to mete out
punishment in just proportion to the
crime. There is a pressure from
without, the result of a mawkish
sentimentality among large numbers
of the people, calling for “mercy.”
And even after the criminal has re
ceived some small measure of his
just deserts, his chances of early
parden ire so promising that in
many cases it can be certainly count
ed on. The governor of every state
is besieged by pardon-petitions em-
enating not merely from the rela
tives and friends of notorious male
factors, but from large numbers of
other and sometimes prominent per
sons.”
Tue annual re-union of Confeder
ate veterans will be this year at
Charleston, S. C., from May 10th to
15 th inclusive. The parade and review
will take place on the first day, and
therefore all veterans are requested
to reach Charleston early that morn
ing, Wednesday. Complete arrange
ments have been made, and board
can be secured at any price from 75
cents per day up. The several camps
are requested to selectjdelegates at
once, if that has not already been
done. Each camp attending is re
quested to carry banners, badges
and every old confederate flag that
can be secured. The railroads will
carry all delegates and veterans at
greatly reduced rates.
It is suggested from Havana that
Gen. Gomez may cause trouble for
the United States by keeping up the
demand for Cuban independence.
This should not be a siurce of an
noyance, as the United States con
gress expressly declared that the ul
timate purpose of this government
was to secure an independent gov
ernment for the inhabitants of Cu
ba. But, perhaps, there has been a
change of opinion among the “pow
ers that be” since that declaration
was made by congress.
The disarmament congress sug
gested by the Czar of Russia will
meet at The Hague in the latter
part of May. The United States will
be represented by Hon. A. D. White,
ambassador to Germany; Mr. New
ells, minister to the Netherlands;
Fres. Seth Low of Columbia Uni
versity; Capti Crozier, U. S. army;
Capt. A. T. Mrhan, U. S. navy, re

Dunbar Happenings.
BY COBBESXONDENT.
Although farm work in this sec
tion has been somewoat hindered by
the bad weather, the farmers are
now getting under good headway
Prematurely Interested.
Some people at Americus seem to
be very much interested in the fu
ture representative of the third con
gressional district. Though it is ex
ceedingly early for any prediction as
to who will be the contestants in with their work. Most of them have
the next campaign, there have been planted their corn,and some of them
several suggestions^ from Americus, are planting cotton,
tbe latest being the following from Our school is' flourishing under
the correspondent of the Macon Tel- the tutorship of Profs. W. H. All
egraph: an( j Conrad Renfroe. The recita-
“There have been a great many tions by the pupils last Friday af-
rumors to the effect that Hon. W. A. temoon were very good.
Dodson would make the race for' R e v. B. A. Geiger, of Byron, gives
congress next year in this district,' ns a good sermon at the academy
but Mr. Dodson says he has not an- j every fourth Sunday night. We are
nounced and that he hopes to see always glad to have him with us.
Hon. E. B. Lewis re-elected. Sum
ter county will in this race present
her favorite son, the Hon. Allen
Fort His friends throughout the
district are urging that he make the
race again. When asked about the
matter Judge Fort had a far-away
smile on his face and simply said:
‘It is too soon yet to say who will
rim.’ ”
We have no authority to say any
thing, but venture to say Hon. E. B.
Lewis will be a candidate to succeed
himself in congress. There is no
reason why he should not be.
Mossy Hill Notes.
BY SOCKS.
Everything is quiet on the Hill
except the weather, which is as fick
le as a girl, and a man is unwise to
discuss it. I will, however, mention
my disgust of a recent freak that
the weather played on me. The
night was warm and balmy, and I
declared to the Journal that the
season was already ripe for lizzards,
picnics, pretty girls and redbugs.
But, oh, my! how that warm opin
ion did suffer and'shiver a few hours
later, when we sailed out of bed
the next morning, attired Only in a
mother-huObard, to ring the planta
tion bell. At the very first comer
we were met by a great gust of
wind which came right after us
whispering “so soon, so soon.” It
played around the hem of our moth-
er-hubbard but a second, and then
lifted it to the breezes. Well, need
I say more? Hardly.
The chaingang is doing some fine
work on the Henderson and Elko
road now, by grading down the
steep hills. As more hauling is done
over that road than any other in this
section, it is to be hoped that it will
be put in thorough fix before the
chaingang quits it. The Mossy Hill
road will be made wider, and Com
missioner Hodge is now considering
the practicability of using the white
dirt that extends entirely across the
ridge, as a top dressing. Sand was
used on the road when worked by
the chaingang four years ago, and
did not prove satisfactory. There is
a place on the road where the white
soil is very near the surface that has
never been known to bog or other
wise get bad; but the most singular
thing about it is that this particular
place sounds hollow. A few rods of
the road have already been dressed,
and so far has stood the test splen
didly. Iu seems that the rain and
atmosphere cause this white soil to
cement and become a solid rock.
Supt. Byrd is of the opinion that af
ter the road is well dressed it will
only require proper drainage to keep
it in thorough repair for many years
to come. We will have more to say
of this as facts develop.
Farming is moving right along
now, and we are pleased to report
the excellent stands of com. Cotton
planting is in full bloom.
We were sorry to hear that meas
les had broken loose among our
friends in Perry. Do you need any
sheep?
The junior baseball clubs of Hen
derson and Elko met on the latter’s
diamond Saturday afternoon and
played the first match game of the
season. Although the Elkonians were
overmatched, they fought manfully
to the end of the contest, and won
the admiration of the large crowd
that witnessed the game, for their
pluck. The battery work of Waiter
Speight and Coleman Hodge, the
short stop playing of Ned Davis and
the fine batting of Fred Eubanks
were the special features on the
Henderson side; the all-round play
ing of Rich Means and Henry Till,
and the pluck and spirit of all the
Elkonians, who would not accept
defeat until the game was played
again, which will take place in Elko
next Saturday. The score stood 22
to 4 in favor of Henderson.
Many prominent citizens from this
section attended Superior court last
W6ek, and there were a few whose
attendance was desired that took to
the swamp.
The Atlanta Constitution will give
to subscribers of the Weekly Consti
tution $5,000. in cash. This money
will go those who guess nearest the
number of bales of cotton in the
crop of 1898-99. The awards will
be separated into the months from
April to August, 1899,' inclusive.
The Home Journal clubs with the
Weekly Constitution, furnishing the
two papers one year for $2.00. The
cotton crop of season of 1897-98 has
been fixed at 11,199,994 bales.
Hcn. Stephen J. Field, retired jus
tice of the United States Supreme
court, died at his home in Washing
ton City last Sunday. He was 82
years old last November.
The beef inquiry commission has
at least heard evidence enough to
warrant a verdict that -the beef fur
nished the United States army dur
ing the Cuban' campaign was dis
proportionately odorous^ and unpal
atable.
Nearer than within thirtyyears
the Georgia cotton crop win be a
surplus to the farmers this year.

The ball last Friday night at the

“The Republiciau party of
Porto Rico,” is said to have been
formed. The report comes through
a special commissioner sent to the
Island by President McKinley,
who says the Porto Ricans are
practica’ly unanimous, and intense
in their desire for annexation to
the United States. From the same
source we learn that this republic,
an party has constructed a plat
form that endorses the “able, pa
triotic and true American spirit
manifested by William McKinley”
and declares for the gold standard.
This is not the first evidence of
politics in the war with Spain and
its consequences.
