as he wrote it, was the addition oi
either the word “capture” or the
word “destroy.”
Secretary Long said upon this
subject. “My recollection is en
tirely distinct. Immediately upon
the declaration ot war, I had con-
I ferred with the president about an
order to Dewey to attack the
Spanish fleet at Manila.
‘‘On Sunday morning, April 24,
I went to the white house, sat
with the president on a sofa in the
corridor and earnestly advised the
sending of such an order. But for
Admiral Crowninshield’s state-
J men11 should have said unhesi
tatingly that I had with me the
dispatch, which had been prepared
J in his bureau of navigation, and
that, the president approving, I re
turned to the navy department and
sent it in the bureau of navigation
I to. be put in cipher.
“ I then went out to drive. As
I drove out between, 11 and 12
o’clock, I remember passing Ad
miral Crowninshield. As to what
transpired later at the white house
at the meeting which he describes
I, of course, have no knowledge.
“It seems to me probable that
I the president; after his interview
with tee, sent for some of tne cab
inet and Ad miral Crowninshield
and took up the disp&teh* which,
according to my recollection, had
already been prepared, and gave
it final consideration. Probably
also there had then come in Dew

Miss Etta Mae Hynds entertained a
number of friends last evening at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Hynds, on
East Broad street, in honor of her

Miss Hynds is a charming hostess and,
the affair was, of course, a pronounced
success.
Life to the most favored is not always

American girl or woman who is obliged
to work for her living, and, perhaps
to help others at home, life is often a
heavy drag in consequence of illness.
Women who work, especially those
who are constantly on their feet, are

IT WAS UNFORTUNATE.
Tbe democratic convention ot
Ohio appears to have gone a good
deal out of its way to show its dis

tell us that not only was he ig

trampled upon by the delegates in
the convention .hall amid great
boisterousness. This was certain
ly unfortunate for the democracy
of that state. It is generally con
ceded that free silver is a dead is*

no doubt right in eliminating any
mention of it m its platform. New

GOV. CANDLER fQr CONGRESS.
We noticed in an issue of the
Atlanta Daily News that the
members of the bar* association,
"which met at Warm Springs last j
'week, had been ‘ discussing the
■probable contest for. congressional
honors in the ninth district. Real-1
.ly, the discussion seemed to
row down to the present en-
c um ben t, and his excellency, our
present governor. Following that
a representative of the News ( un
dertook to interview the governor
but all he could get was that the
governor was not a candidate-*
would not say that he would or
would not run.
We wish to suggest just here
and now, that if. Allen D. Candler
consents to run there wil| be some
old-time political fighting dope—
old time enfchusiaste like unto the
days of ’82. A yell to return to
pure democratic principles. And
the man who goes to congress from
the ninth will be Candler or else
he will know that Allen Candler
was iu the race.
More on this subject later.

The Order to Dewey.
Washington, July 8.—Rear Ad
miral A S. Crowninshield, chief
of the bureau of navigation, today
issued a formal statement to the
effect that he is the author of the
famous dispatch to Admiral Dew
ey, ordering him to proceed from
Hong Kong to Manila, and there
capture or destroy the Spanish
fleet. Admiral Crowninshield
states that he wrote the dispatch
in the.white house, and submitted
it to both Attorney General Griggs
