The following was received re
cently by two young men of Per
ry, who seemed to think it pretty
good. Anyway, they did “as they
were told. • •
As the weather is bad,
And we’re real sad,
We’d be glad yon call ’round this eve;
Onr throats are right sore,
Our troubles galore,
And we think you’d our sorrows relieve.
We’ll expect you at eight,
. And unless you are late,
We’ll soon be on “Carroms” intent;
This game you can play,
We’ye heard yon both say, .
For many such evenings we’ve spent.
If we’ve spoken too late.
And another “old date”
Has come in ahead of- this one,
, Be sure just to write
That you can’t come to-night,
And we will postpone our fun.

LETTER FROM PHILIPPINES.
Noel Martin, Soldiering in the IT. S.
Army, Writes to his Father at
Port Valley about Conditions
on Panay, Island.
Moxo, Paney I., P. I.,
Sept. 27th, 1899. '
I presume there was a letter for
me on “The Morgan City,” which
went down off the coast of Japan,
but if so I will never get it, as
only 29 out of 289 sacks of mail
were saved.
We moved from Jaro'to this
place, a distance of about 5 miles,
on August 29th, and relieved the
1st Tennessee regiment, that is
two companies of the 18th, “K.”
and “L,” are here.
I worked in the Orderly room
for nearly two weeks while the
company clerk was sick. I was
taken with malaria on the 19th,
and got well to-day. All the boys
were very kind to me. I was not
very sick—fever 108 —but was not
able to do anything. I am 0. K.
now, and go on guard to-morow.
It is different here than -in Jaro
about guard duty, as there were
no Khakiaks in Jaro and this
town is full of them.
Our main duty here is to exam
ine passes and see that they carry
no contraband through the lines.
Each native who makes applica
tion receives a pass allowing him
to carry so many pounds of rice
across the river each day, and if
he has any more than his pass
calls for it (the rice) is confisca
ted, It is estimated that 20,000
pounds of rice cross the river each
day. The river is simply an arm
of-the sea connecting with the sea
at both ends, and is bridged by a
pontoon built of bamboo, which
floats on the surface and rises and
.falls with the tide—about 6 feet.
Most of the men wear a breech
clout of the simplest form, or else
a shirt and nothing else.
The past ten days it has done
nothing but rain in torrents. Nev
ertheless, we are all in fairly good
health. This town has about 200
well developed cases of smallpox,
but so far no soldiers are afflicted
with it. I have been vaccinated
about 40 times since I enlisted.
I am in charge of the canteen
this afternoon, as Corp. Johnson
has gone to Iloilo to. buy some
beer. We get Schlitz beer here for
85 cents per bottle. Every one in
the company has a credit of $5.00
per month, but I do not owe one
cent and do not intend to. I de
cided not to drink during the
three years and I will not touch
even beer. C.qrp. Johnson is near
ly 21 years in the service,--and we
are the best of friends. - I assist
him in the canteen and run it
while he is absent.
Some of our boys went, down
the river .the other night and cap
tured 44 gunny sacks filled with
rice, but no prisoners. A pretty
good haul—200 pounds to the
sack. • _ -
There are adout 200 Khakiaks 1 —
Kha-ki-aks—camped near Jaro
who want to come in. and surren
der, hut we have no place for so
many prisoners, and the officers
are undecided what to do about
them. They state that nearly all
the army wants to surrender, but
they are such liars it is hard to
tell what will be the outcome.
One of the saddest things that
has happened here was the death
of a young Tennessee boy the day
he was to embark for home. The
19th relieved them, and started
the rounds of the posts to relieve
the-sentries. They got to within
about 15 yards of this soldier
when a shot was fired from the
jungle and he fell oyer dead. On
ly eight hours afterward his regi
ment had sailed for home.
Our captain is one of the finest
and bravest officers on the island,
and the hoys have the greatest
confidence in his leadership. Our
1st sergeant is James C. Winberg
of Macon, and he is a fine officer.
One of our non-commissioned offi
cers will be discharged Dec. 2; and
I hope to get a corporal’s place
then. I am well pleased with this
company, both officers and men.
Before this letter reaches you,
you may read of a fight or surren
der, either one or perhaps both.
These people are all -treacherous
and cruel.
Word has just been brought in
that one of onr negroes was found
de'ad .near here. He had been
missing for a few days, and It
seems the Khakiaks got him. The
other one will not leave the quar
ters. '
Mr. Editor—I have just
turned from a trip into South- •
west Georgia, and will mention a J
few things of interest I saw. j
The object of my visit was to at-.
tend one of those good, old-time 1
Primitive Baptist associations, at
Pitts, Ga. I met people from all
sections of the country, high and
low, rich and poor. I was very
much surprised to see so much im
provement and progress with, the
people. Whe^e the lands have
been cleared by t* :e turpentine and
lumber mills, they are being vi
talized into beautiful farms, from
30 to 300 acres, that yield splen
did crops of corn and peas, cottdn
not so good.
Long staple cotton is grown in
that country. One farmer of Ro
chelle says he will get nine bales
of long staple cotton from 11 acres.
At Abbeville I spent several
days with the family of Dr. J. D.
Maynard. Dr. Maynard was born
and raised in Houston County, and
we met other Houstonions in Ab-
bveille. who seem to be the lead
ing figures in the progress of that
lively little town.
I desire to tell your many read
ers part of what the people of Ab
beville have accomplished by their
energy and pluck. For ten years
they have been reaching up for a
high mark in educational progress.
They had good schools, but were
not satisfied. Three years ago
they decided to establish a school
of the Normal system. Dr. May
nard, Dr. Crawford and Mr. O. V.
Fuller and others went to work,
and through their indomitable en
ergy induced one of Florida’s Nor
mal schools to join them, and they
have built one of the finest schools
in the State, called the Abbeville
Georgia Normal College and Bus
iness Institute. The school is
throughly equipped in all branches
of study taught in the highest
schools of the country: The in
struction includes the . business
of banks, exchange, offices, empo
riums, retail and wholesale mer
cantile and Commission business,
with workshop also. There are
about 400 pupils in this school
from different parts. of Georgia
and Florida. This magnificient
school was secured through the en
terprising people of Abbevillel
Why can’t the people of Perry
go to, work and do likewise?

New York’s Registration.
The registration of votes in New
York City show a total of 636,514,
an increase of 66,140 over the reg
istration of 1896.
Commenting on this the New
York World says:
“As to which of the two parties
has gained by this generally heav
ier registration can only be con
jectured. It may assist rational
speculation to note the fact that
the nineteen Assembly districts of
New York County which voted for
Bryan four years ago show a net
increase in their total registration
for the first three days over 1896
of 2,683. On .the other hand, in
the seventeen Assembly districts
which voted for McKinley in 1896
the net increase in the first three
days’ registration is 26,052.
“As the Republican vote was
presumably very fully registered
four years ago, this may mean
that the Democrats who ‘ ‘ went a-
fishing” in 1896 are coming out to
vote this-year. - Or it • may mean
that the independen voter, upon
whon no man can count, not even
the ablest of campaign managers,
is coming to the polls intent on
destroying all the prophets.
“All that is certain is that the
vote of November 6 in Greater
New York is going to be -much
larger than any one anticipated
before registration began. For
the rest we must possess our souls
in patience and wait for these un
foreseen voters to interpret their
own purpose at the polls”.
