WASHINGTON LETTER.
Our Regular Correspondence.
The views of the whoesale deal
ers in tobacco and cigars on the
effect of free trade with Porto Ri
co upon their business are ex
tremely varied. Some believe
that the competition of cheap la
bor of Porto Rico'with the better
paid cigar-makers of the Suited
States will lead to the removal of
American manufactories to the is
land and the reduction of wages
of cigar-makers in the United
States. The popularity of Porto
Rico tobacco is not regarded as a
sure result of its general sale in
the United States. Many dealers
think it does not meet the re
quirements of American taste in
tobacco and will never do so
Others believe that a few months
will see established in Porto Rico
factories where American-grown
tobacco will be made up into ci
gars and sold as Porto Rico stock
on its return to the United States.
As a matter of fact, the condi
tions existing in the trade with
regardto Portorican tobacco prod
ucts are so new that all is sur
mise and no postive predictions
are made. All the country can do
is to wait and see wha b will hap
pen . /
Recent consular reports to the
State Department,which are being
held in the secret files of the Gov
ernment until the close of the
South Afaican war, show that in
creasing bitterness is marking the
course of the struggle, the chief
causes being: The hanging of
“Cape reqels” by the British:
The burning of Boer houses and
the gathering of Boer women and
children into the concentration
camps: The use of Kaffirs by the
British: The charges of killing
wounded men in cold blood.
Thus a conflict which at its be
ginning was marked by exception
al humanity is taking on some of
the bitter and cruel aspects of
prolonged partisan warfare. The
use of Kaffirs as scouts by the
British, as staed in Lord Kitchen
er’s latest dispatches,is full of dire
possibilities. Heretofore both
the Boers and the British have
used the Kaffirs as camp servants,
hostlers and in a few other menial
capacities. There was a tacit
agreement on both sides that they
should not be employed in mili
tary duties. If this is to be vio
lated and the tens of thousaands
of natives are to be drawn into
the struggle, murder is likely to
replace the less barbarous code of
recognized warfare. The reports
giving descriptions of the recon-
centrado camps in South Airica
are so plain spoken that the ad
ministration does uot dare to al
low them to become known.

The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one ffreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
ail stages, and that is catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive ciire now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires
a constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the sys
tem, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in
its curative powers that they offer
One hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list

“A young woman of Parsons
accidentally dropped a dime down
the back of a strange young man
when she sought to put it into the
contribution box in church last
Sunday,” says the Kansas City
Journals “She blushed and apol
ogised, an acquaintance was form
ed, and in two weeks the pair
were married. And this proves
exactly what we have always
said—that a woman will go to
any length in order to recover lost
money.”
To Cure A Cold In One Day
Oervera’s Estimate of Schley.
Admiral Cevera, who was in
charge of the Spanish fleet which
was destroyed by the squadron
under command of Admiral
Schley at Santiago,has been inter
viewed in regard to the Sampson-
Schley controversy, and gives his
estimate of Schley as follows:
“Actions speak. The good old
proverb is: ‘ Actions speak loud
er than words.’ Why not apply
it to Admiral Schley? Under
stand that what I._sav is in the
light of this distinction. As a
Spaniard I look upon that war
as being as unjust as the war
which is waging against the Boer
republics. Personally, I shall
never forget the generous and cour
teous treatment that was accord
ed to me by the Americans, and
particularly by Admiral Schley.
He impressed me as a gallant offi
cer and a high-minded gentleman
to the fullest sense of the phrase.
I should say that a man of noble
principles and generous impulses
cannot be a coward. To such
men I would look rather for Cas-
tillian bravery. “The naval bat
tle of Santiago was short and de
cisive—so short that there was no
time for any exchauge of compli-
pliments; so decisive that I can
hardly believe that cowardice was
thinkable. The fighs was over in
about three hours and three-
quarters. Had I been captured
in the days of ancient Rome my
back might have been used as a
stepping place for the conquerer
mounting his horse. Admiral
Schley treated me on terms of ab
solute equality. His flagship, the '
Brooklyn, was west in the blockad
ing line, and was therefore the
most exposed. She was engaged
in a running fight with the Vis
caya and the Colon. When the
Brooklyn and the Oregon got
within range of | the Colon they
opened fire, and later was com
pelled to run ashore. The Colon
.also struck her colors to the
Brooklyn and the Oregon. The
Brooklyn, holding the westwarc.
blockading position, was within
range of our ships and batteries
all the time, though out ships
lacked certain things neepesary
for full effectiveness. Admiral
Schley showed ability and thor
oughness. I don’t know Admiral
Sampson. I have no comment to
make on him.”
Let Tanners Raise Hay.
Reports from the great grain
growing regon of the West indi
cate that the drought and hot
weather have destroyed 800,000,-
000 bushels of corn in the fields
and that the scarcity of corn thi3
fall will send the price to at least
a dollar a bushel.
The price has already reached
eighty cents' and there is a slim
chance.of a decline until another
crop is made. The corn crop in
this section is good, but it will
not be large enough to supply the
demand. It is too-late to plant
corn now, but it is not too late to
raise hay, peas, etc., which take
the place of corn 1 to a large extent
as a food for stock.
Let the farmers of Lowndes
county and south Georgia make
the most of the hay crop. Let
them plant more peas now and
set their plans for gathering every
blade of hay they can. It will be
money to them. To be forewarn
ed is to be forearmed.
With dollar corn, hay will be
a splendid crop this year. Let
farmers heed this warning.—Val
dosta Times.

A man talks about owning his
business. But, as a matter of
fact his business owns him. His
whole life is regulated by the de
mands of the business. The time
at which he rises, his breakfast
hour, the time given to meals, are
all determined by business obli
gations. He rushes through lunch
because he “can’t spare the time
from business” to eat leisurely.
He won’t take a rest because he is
needed at the store or office. He
is in fact an absolute slave to bus
mess. The results which follow
this slavery are to be seen on ev
ery hand. Meu dyspeptic, irrita
ble, nervous, with drawn faces,
and hollow eyes, sit at the desk or
stand behind the counter until
they collapse into a fit of sick
ness, or are taken away by heart
failure. Those who cannot es
cape the exactions of business
will find a friend in Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery. It
strengthens the stomach, increas
es the action of the blood-making
glands, increasing the vitality
and phisical vigor. It makes men
strong and prevents those busi
ness break downs which so often
terminate fatally.
Sampson’s indorsment of the
pitiful and slanderous rot, writ
ten under the guise of “history,”
about Schley, by a ..partisan
henchman, named Maclay, stamps
him as a contemptable fellow.
He is the sorriest fellow developed
by the late riot with Spain, with
Secretary Long as a close second.
They are going to get their true
places in real history, and they
needn’t doubt it.—Sparta Ish-
