Havana, Cuba, Aug. 29.—Both rebel
and government forces seem to
making time, and beyond raids by
small parties of rebels there are fen-
developments. The government pro
fesses to believe that Guerra Is now
the only Insurgent chief In the held
who Is dangerous.
1 am Informed that It Is the purpose
of the government to wait for a fen-
days until the effect of the amnesty
. proclamation may be fully felt, and
then undertake a general forward
movement for the purpose of await
ing Guerra, and thus ending the revo
lution.-
One of the revolutionary leaders has
revealed, It Is said, that the rebels pur
pose to remain-quiet until all the avail
able forces have been sent ngalnst
Guerra. Then. It Is asserted,-Gusman,
who commands In Santa Clara, and
General Asbert. wKh his forces In
Havana province, will move up and
the government forces will be bottled
up between them.
The town of Cabanns, near the Uni

Trial of Patrolmen Jones
Postponed Until
Thursday.
Twelve men were added to the police
department at a meeting of the police
board Tuesday night. The trial of Pa

until Tuesday night. *
But five members of the board were
present. Chairman Terry and Commis
sinners English. Oldknow, Woodslde,
and ‘ Brandon. Mayor Woodward and
Commissioners Venable and Nunnall
were the absentees.
Chief Jennings submitted a recom
mendation that at least forty addition*
ai men be employed on account of the
recent n?Ign of lawlessness In the
county and the fact that the strength
ening of the county police force would
drive the negroes into the city limits.
He called attention also to the fact
that not enough men . were, on duty at
the station house to respond to a riot
call.
The board ordered the chief to ap
point twelve additional men, the ap
pointments to be subject to the approv
al of the boards Two former police
men. C. E. Fogg, and C. E. Doyal, were

It Is stated tqday that there have
been many desertions from the forces
of Guerra In Plnar Del Rio. Lack of
food and the hopelessness of the rebel

are now said to be Impregnable to‘ any
force Guerra can possibly bring against
them.

Sketch of Hit Life.
W. R. Dlmmock Waa born In the little
village of Hayeatown, England, Auguat
11, 1852. When two yeara old he waa
brought to America, the family flrat
coming to Atlanta, then aettllng
Conyera. Aa a boy, he attended achoot
In Conyers, coming to Atlanta when 15
years old and entering the Wlnahlp
machine shops, where he worked for a
number of yeara. His education was
completed at night school.
After giving up his work as a me
chanic, Mr. Dlmmock became a fruit
and vegetable commission merchant.
He was the senior member of the
Dlmmock A Wallace Commission
House, at No. 1 South Broad street,
for many years.
He first entered politics In the early
90’s, when he was elected to the city
council. Later he was elected an al
derman and served as mayor pro tern.
Seven years ago Mr. Dlpimock was
made secretary of the water board
and has sines given up his time to that
work.
Mr. Dlmmock married Mrs. Fanny A.
Kerby, of this city, during, the year
1887.
Throughout his life Mr. Dlmmock had
been a worker In the Methodist church
and for the last 25 or more years well
known In fraternity circles. At -the
time of his death he was a steward
In the Grace Methodist church, of
which he has been a member for man)
years.
Aside from being one of the oldest
members of Gate City Lodge No. 2, Free
and Accepted Order of Masons, Mr.
Dlmmock • was a charter member ol
Klbla Temple. Dramatic’ Order of
Kntghta of Khnrassan. and one of Its
most enthusiastic members. A delega
tion from this chapter will be In at
tendance at the funeral.
Military Record.
Mr. Dlmmock was, In point of ser
vice, one of the oldest members of the
state militia. He Joined the militia In
1873. His first service was In the Gov
ernor's Guard Infantry. When this or
ganisation was disbanded he became a
member of the Governors' Horse Guard,
Troop 1, Flrat regiment cavalry, N. G.
of Georgia. Three months ago he was
presented by the state with a medal
for the length and fdlthfulness of his
services. On August 4 of this year he
successfully stood the examination and
was commissioned a second lieutenant
In the Horse Guard. Although the
strain of studying for thess’examlna-
tlons Is claimed by some to have
brought on the fatal malady, It Is also
believed that a stroke of apoplexy he
sustained two years ago had much to
do with the death.
Because of Mr. Dlmmock's long ser
vice to the. city of Atlanta, Mayor Pro
Tern. Harwell has Issued orders that
the city hall be cloned at 3 o'clock
Thursday afternoon. The flag will re
main at half mast throughout the doy

JOY OVER GETTING FORTUNE
ENDS LIFE OF POOR WIDOW
Hy Private Leased Wire.
New York, Aug. 28.—That Mrs. Cora
L. Williams died of heart disease
brought on by excessive joy. due to
the fact that she was about to come
into the possession of $1,000,000. was
the finding today at a coroner's Investi
gation Into her death.
Dr. Coral Lafayette Williams, the
husband of Mrs. Williams, died six
years ago while developing some mines
Albuquerque. His body wax
Jd of considerable money, besides
mining stocks, and the widow was im
poverished.
C. B. Crosby, sn old friend of her
husband, learned of her whereabouts
and he set about to develop the Albu
querque mining property. He was very
successful, ana got a sum which net
ted Mrs. Williams $1,000,(00. She was
to have received- this, but while wait
ing to go down town after the money
she expired.
Marion Smith Improving.
Marlon Smith, son of Hon. Hoke
Smith, who was operated on Moiftlay
for appendicitis is reported as Improv
ing rapidly. No complications have
arisen, and the wound Is healing nicely.
The physicians anticipate no severe
consequence from the operation, and
believe the patient will be out in a
very short time.
DO ADVERTISERS STOP TO THINK
—that in addition to quantity of circulation, esteem
and confidence cut some ice—QUALITY is a big
item, but The Georgian seems to have it going and
coming—good people read The Georgian, and they
call The Georgian GOOD.
THE BEST SOUTHERN PAPER. •: ; >
To the Editor of The Georgian: > i
The general impression throughout the state upon the best class
of people, the conservative nnd substantial citizens, is that The
Georgian is the best paper published in the South.
It has been generally understood that it is a clean paper;
that no fake patent medicine advertisements: no thriving “get-
rich” schemes will be held before its readers in full page display,
carrying a stamp of approval by virtue of the quality or reputa
tion of the journal containing the advertisement; also that no
whiskv advertisements sppeur in The Georgian.
And that The Georgian has adopted or rather began on n
policy advocated by so many of the leading magazines, to let
nothing appear within its columns hut reliable and honest ad
vertisements exploiting square deals only.
An advertisement in The Gsorgian carries a stamp of merit,
which increases its value to the advertiser, and no paper can lose
in the long run by such a fair dealing policy.
Reliable advertisers are rapidly learning that it is detrimen
tal to their advertisement to appear on the same page or in the
same paper with fakes and notorious skin game notices. They
are withdrawing their patronage and look suspiciously upon
such papers, and are ever seeking a better and more trustwor
thy medium. *''• K. S.

"REIGN OF TERROR” EDITORIAL
SOUGHT BY CAROLINA CITIZENS.
Special to The Georgian.
Salisbury, N. C., Aug. 28—The Georgian’s great editorial
leader of Thursday has been generally read here and much dis
cussed. The Evening Post reproduced it Saturday, with indorse
ment of its sentiment. When it became known that the paper
had spoken through its editor upon the “Reign of Terror” there
was a demand for far in excess of the supply. It was discussed
in connection with local conditions.

“BEST PAPER IN THE SOUTH.”
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Although I am a total stranger to you, I write this as a young
man and a citizen of Georgia to express my appreciation of your
newspaper, The Georgian.
In my humble opinion, the editorial page of The Georgian is
the best in the South, nnd for genuine merit? not surpassed by any
such section of any paper in the whole country. All the rest of
the paper is conducted on an equally high standard, and the pa
per as a whole presents to the reader a well-balnnced report of ,
all the. news of the day.
I hope that vonr paper will always be as clean, newsy and re-
liable ns it is now, and that your circulation will increase as much
as the paper merits, I would like to see The Georgian Imvc a
aid subscription of 30,000 at the end of two years.
With sincere wishes for the success of The Georgian. 1 am
espectfully, O. W. PASS AY ANT.
