W., Washington, D. C. CenGRE88MAN Babtlett of Georgia is seriously ill at Washington. Protestant ministers are trying to persuade the Filipinos to forsake the Catholic church. Ex-Senator David B. Hill of New York announces publicly that he will not be a candidate for the presiden cy in 1904. Regardless of the distinct declara tion of congress in 1898, there is a reyublican purpose to cause the an nexation of Cuba to the United States, or to arrange for a practical protectorate. In honor and justice -this cannot be done, but when re tribute campaign funds for use out side the congressional district which they reside. The republicans will not permit such a provision become a law. to —If you want to buy a horse mules, hire an animal or team have your team cared for while in publican politicians want patronage, jj ao - to Branan > s stab l e on scrupulous as to the'g__ 1 ._ , _°„_ i A naval training station at Bruns wick, Ga., will be established if the recommendations of Secretary Long are accepted. Ten thousand dollars was paid for a horse, “Frankfort,” at an auction sale in New York city last Thursday.

T. »- * -* Since January 1st more than $300,- 000 has been paid out in Georgia in pensions to Confrderate veterans and widows. The .total appropriation for this purpose amounts to $690,000. Provision will be made by the North Carolina legislature for in creased appropriation for the state soldiers’ home, and for an increase of the pensions of Confederate vet erans. It is reported from Washington that the Cuban constitution will not be acceptable to the U. S. adminis tration i unless provision is made for American supervision—practically a protectorate* Additional troops to the number of 20,000 will be sent to the Philip pine Islands at an early date, not withstanding the fact that prepara tions are being made to inaugurate civil government. --— A contest is in progress in the Cuban constitutional convention over a provision that would make Gen, Maximo Gomez eligible to the presi dency of the republic. He is a na tive of San Domingo. they are not means of securing it. Concerning the attitude of republicans toward the constitution now being made, our Washington correspondent says: “The Cuban constitution is ex pected to reach here about the mid dle of the month, some six months earlier than the administration ei ther expected or desired it. What is to be done with it? The republi cans are divided into two camps on the subject, one of them holding that the United States has no right whatever to interfere with the Cu bans in any way, and that the presi dent ought simply to accept the constitution and set the island free without any reference to congress. For this they urge the resolution passed by congress on April 20th, 1898, when the war was began. This resolution says: ‘That the United States hereby disclaims any disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over said island, except for the paci fication thereof, and asserts its de termination, when that is accom plished, to leave the government and control of the island to its people.’ Clearly this seems to estop the United States from all interference in the matter^ Another section, in cluding the friends of the subsidy bill, maintains that congress has the right to supervise the constitution and to insist on the recognition of this country’s part in freeing the isl and. These want military and naval stations and the right to supervise the foreign relations and debt incur ring powers of the island govern ment. They insist that there is no time at this session to deal with the subject, and that an extra one must be held for the purpose.” Poplar street.

M. S. WARE, Adm’r Fob. 4,1901. of Elizabeth Pennington Ware. A clear profit of $1,000 was real ized by two Terrell county farmers on a recent shipment of hogs from Dawson to Atlanta. Good evidence that cotton is not the only money crop of Georgia farmers. The Kansas woman who has been smashing saloons in Topeka and oth er cities in that state, is somewhat comparable to the United States at this juncture—each is a compara- .tively old Nation in a new role. The increase of the United States rarmy under the law just enacted by congress calls for the appointment of -about 1,800 new officers. Papment for republican political service may •vbe fitted in nicely with these ap pointments. Many of the southern cotton mills are preparing to manufacture the finer grades of goods. This is an j indication that in all lines of indus try southern people will be satisfied in producing only the best. On this line success will be commanded. David B. Hill of New York and Hoke Smith of Georgia for presi dent and vice president in 1904' is the suggestion of the Hawkinsville Dispatch. The chief objection is that the better man of the two is named for the secondary position. -*-•-« Excessive cigarette smoking was rfche cause,for a,recent application for divorce in Wisconsin. The complaint of the wife was that the husband had become unfitted for labor, or business because of his incessant cigarette smoking. She alleged cru elty, inhuman, treatment and failure to support, and the divorce was granted. Merit Commands Success. The desire and determination to excel are necessary elerhents of suc cess.

In this annual the true judgment of successful experience is presented, embracing all the old seeds that are best and many new ones that are superior. Send for this annual, it is true, very pretty and decidedly good. A young bridegroom staggering drunk with joy is the latest sensa tion sprung upon an unsuspecting public by the Atlanta Constitution. The story is that a young couple were married in Atlanta last Satur day, and a short while later the bridegroom was arrested while walk ing along the street with his bride. He was staggering and incoherent, and was locked up on the charge of drunkenness. In recorder’s court he declared he had not imbibed at all of any intoxicating liquor, but was drunk with joy. He was released. Verily, Atlanta is the hot-bed of startling incidents, and the Consti tution a tip-top promoter on that line. Several snow storms, with bliz zard accompaniment, prevailed in northwestern states last Sunday. In Kansas and Nebraska the snow was 18 inches deep on the level, and six feet in drifts.
