Our Working QiriOm 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 ey’s dispatch of the d ay be fore, Advising us that he had been or dered to get away from Hong Kong.” V / At Mr. and Mrs. J. 6. Hyads’s. 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 gttest, Afes Ella ‘Griffith of Atlanta. Miss Hynds is a charming hostess and, the affair was, of course, a pronounced success. Life to the most favored is not always •full of sunshine, but to the average 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 peculiarly liable to the development of organic troubles, and should par ticularly heed the first manifestations, such as backache, pains in the lower limbs and lower part of the stomach, Are now offering tbeir entire line of Straw July, 13, 1901 IT WAS UNFORTUNATE. Tbe democratic convention ot Ohio appears to have gone a good deal out of its way to show its dis like for Bryan. Press dispatches tell us that not only was he ig nored, but that his picture was 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* sue, and the Ohio democracy was no doubt right in eliminating any mention of it m its platform.

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. Ninth District Democrat* I 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 R E.

After the party returned, their pails filled with the luscious fruit, some thing seems to have rubbed Ernest’s feathers the wrong way. It may be. that he was disappointed at not haying “laid low” any grizzilies, or caused anv red Indians to “bite the dust.” Any way it is alleged that the warlike Er nest. still armed cap-a-pie and accou tered like a Montana road agent, drew his trusty revolver and strutted up and down the yard, flourishing the deadly weapon in a most dangerously “promis cuous” manner.
