An Occusion When Quickness of Action
Prevented a Fearful Disaster.
An officer of the United States navy
relates the following as illustrating some
of the perils of gunnery at sea:
“I came very near going up into the
air in small bits on this last squadron
cruise. We were at heavy gun practice
lit sea and but for the quickness of a
gunner’s mate would never have re
turned. As you probably know, the
heavy guns in the turrets are fired by
electricity, the gun being discharged
simply by pressing a button. The officer
in command of the forward turret on
our ship dur ing rapid firing practice was
just about to press the button to fire ono
of our big guns when a gunner’s mate
was seen to grab at something on the
wall of the turret and then fail in a
heap on the floor. The officer pressed
the button, but the gun was not dis
charged. When the mate came to, ho
was asked what had happened, and bo
informed the officer that the breech of
the gun had not been locked and that
what he grabbed at on the wall was the
wires forming the electric firing circuit.
“When he saw that the officer was pre
paring to fire the gun and at the same
time observed that the breech of the
gun was uot locked, the only thing that
occurred to him to prevent the gun be-
| ing discharged was to destroy the cir-
! cuit, which he did promptly upd effect~
! iveiy. When, ail this occurred, there
was a charge of 250 pounds of powder
in the gun, another charge of the same
| size in t he turret ready to be served, and
i the passageway leading to the powder
magazine was wide open. But for the
quickness of the gunner's mate the gun
1 would have been blown out inside ti e
turret, the gases from the burning pow
der would probably have ignited the
charge lying in the turret, this explo
sion would have ignited the powder in
the magazine, and the chances are that
the whole ship, crew and all, would
have gone up in the air. A thought that
has occurred to me is this: Suppose the
accident had occurred, what do you
imagine the verdict of a boaril of in
quiry as to the cause of the loss of the
ship would have been? Since his experi
ence the department has adopted elec
trical means to prevent the discharge of
any of the large guns until the breech
is locked.”—San Francisco Chronicle.
The Candlers.
The election of Dr. Warren A.
Candler, President of Emory Col
lege, as a Bishop of the Methodist
Eepiscupal Church South and the
pending candidacy of Hon. Alien
D. Candler for Governor suggests
an inquiry into the Candler family.
The state has, perhaps, never
produced a brainier or more
partriotic and useful family of
sons than the Candlers. Hon.
Milton A.Candler, fighting through
the war between the states and
coming out of the struggle on n of
the most gallant Confederate cap
tains. at once took his seat in the

You can talk freely to a woman when
it is revolting to relate your private
troubles to a man; besides, a man does
not understand, simply because he is a

It is needless to refer again to
Dr. now Bishop Candler, whose
profound theology and strong pul
pit eloquence is known all over
the state nor to Allen D., the “one-
eyed plow boy of Pigeon Roost,”
who beat Emory Speer for Con
gress in 1882 by practically a
majority of over 7,000 votes, and
who has never yet been beaten in
any race before the people.
These Candlers have several
characteristics in common. First
of all, they are self-made men,
having inherited no fortune but
their talents. Second, they are
born fighters in the cause the} 7
espouse. Third, they have always
been found on the side of honesty
and right. Fourth, they have
never proven recreant to any trust.
Fifth, they have been unselfish
and given to rather than received
from the public service wherein
they have enlisted.
The Cobbs, the Stephens, the
Lamars, the Lumpkins, the Pierces
and other noble families have
illustrated Georgia in church and
state, but it is doubtful whether
any of them have eclipsed the
Candlers in the record of honor
able and useful service to their
fellowmen.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Finkham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
| will help your case. She asks nothing
| in return except your good will, and
of | her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very
foolish if she does not take advantage
of this generous offer of assistance.

Ensign Bagley’s Premoniticfa.
Ensign Bagley had a premoni
tion of death several vv eks ago.
In discussing then the numerous
fatalities which had pursued tne
torpedo boat flotilla, he said :
•There was poor Breckinridge,
my classmate,executive, officer of
the Cushing, who was swept over
board between Key West and
Havana and drowned. Then
Bostwick, executive officer of the
Ericsson, who was knocked over
board in a collision with a schoon
er, had his chest caved in and was
all but drowned. He is now slow
ly recovering.
Baldwin executive officer of the
Cushing, successor of Breckinridge
and predecessor of Boyd took his
turn next. He was knocked down
an open hatchway and had his
ribs broken. He will not be out
of the hospital until the war is
over.
‘‘There tha re, the four B’s
—Breckinridge, Bostwick Bald
win and Boyd. I am the fifth
and last—Bag ey. It is up to
me.”
|‘ THE MANILLA FIGHT
The atmosphere was Dewey, at Ma-
I ^ *
nil la en the bay,
The clouds were somewhat blackened
on the morn of the first of May,
All round was in confusion when
Dewey came in sight
But he sneaked into the harbor at Ma
nilla in the night.
The Spaniards turned their batteries
on the Asiatic fleet
And thought that they would sink
them and put them fast asleep,
But when the wind blew over and
cleared the mist away
Their fleet was up side downward in
the bottom of the bay.
The Spaniards thought they knew ns
and could teach ns how to fight.
But they showed their blissful igno
rance in Manilla's morning ligat,
The way that Dewey did them was a
terrorizing sin.
And he did them in two hours without
the loss of any men.
Ancl Sampson is after them, and if they
ever meet
What he'll do will be a plenty for their
li ttl e fit ’1:11 a flee t:
He will .annihilate ti.c:u on their own
dear Spanish soil,
lie will blow them u;s and sink them
and the devil will get the spoils.
We did our best to save them iroin
such an awful fate, '
Tried to show them all their errors be
fore it was too late.
But they said come on, well meet you,
cud they met us, too. it seems.
Which resulted in our victory in lie
far off Philippines.
There is still another message that ur
anxious ears will greet,
’Tis the utter devastation of the re
maining Spanish fleet.
The forces now are ready, North and
South are hand in hand
To follow Lee and Wheeler to free that
saddened land;
They united know no failure, they
united know no fall,
They together know no duty higher
than their country’s call.
Let us cheer them while they free it
mid the shot and shells,
Let us listen for their vieiory echoed
back through Cuban dells.
All united one forever, hearts and
hands for a cause that's right
And our banner proudly waving,
gleaming like the stars at night.
Forever one, and naught can sever the
bonds that twine us strong and true
And ever live beneath the banner
striped with red, white and blue.
