The board has issued an order to the

but he is quite fiank with it. He says
he wants to be Governor of New York,
that he would like to be Secretary of
War, and that he hopes some day to be
a United States senator. And, to fol
low the colonel’s manner of frankness
we m«y say we are quite willing to be

ia either place. Still we think that
‘ New York’s interests would be better
protected by a sterling Democrat.
Secretary of the Navy Long is, as a
matter ot course, proud of tbe record of
the r.svy in tbe war, but he does not
believe we ought to bold all that the
navy captured, even in its most bril

Philippines, and it is to be inferred from
an interview with him had in Boston
the other dHV that lie does not even
favor keeping Luzon. “The territory
would pro\e a burden to 11s,” lie
said.
“Drones and Dreamers,” Mr.

pily introduced by Mr, E. tf. Baxter,
and pleasantly fulfilled the bright, pre
dictions as to the lecture. Mr. Bayne
is an artist in words, and his sentences
are rare Mosaics of diction gemmed with
jewels of fancy. Frequent applause
testified to the approval and pleasure
of bis bearers.—Augusta Chronicle

Ex-Secretary of Agriculture Morton
of Mr. Cleveland’s cabinet lias been
invited by the government of the Ar
gentine Republic to spend next year in
that country as tbe adviser ot the gov
ernment in agricultural matters and to
organize a national department of
agriculture. The fanners of Argentina,
like the cotton planters of this country,
have heretofore placed all of their eggs
in one basket. They raise wheat, cat
tle and sheep exclusively. The gov
ernment wishes Mr. Morton to tell them
what else they can raise profitably, and
show them how to do it.
Their is one year in which ever
white voter in Georgia should make it
a point to go to the polls and vote the
straight Democratic ticket. Newspaper
reports have gone abroad to the effect
that there is imminent danger of the
state falling into the hands of a Re
publican-Populist fusion—in short, that
“negro domination,” as in North Caro
lina, is threatened. The Democrats
should turn out and prove to the world,
and to prospective immigrants and in
vestors especially, that this is one state
which purposes to continue under the
The Second Regiment.
The Second Georgia regiment ar
rived in Atlanta last Thursday at noon
and was met at the Union depot by
thousands of their friends and enthus
iastic admirers.
The Soldiers’ Relief Association
banqueted the returning heroes in a
most royal style and the spread was
made in a large ball in tbe centre of
the city. The soldiers marched to
to Piedmont park, and Hon. John
Temple Graves, the silver tongued or-
aior of the south, delivered the wel
coming address, which was responded
to by Lieutenant Hartridge, of Savan
nah.
A royal welcome was given the re
turning soldiers.
The entire regiment will remain in
Atlanta until the first of October, and
go in camp at Piedmont park.
The regiment will be quartered in
the buildings at Piedmont park, and
no tents will be stretched. On the
first of October the men will receive
their pay with a thirty days’ furlough
and will go to their homes.
First Regiment Reaches Macon.
The First regiment of Georgia vol
unteers arriyed in Macon Saturday
morning from Camp Poland, amid the
booming of cannon, the playing ot
bands, the waving of flags, and the
shouting of a vast multitude of enthus
iastic men, women and children who
had gathered at the depot to welcome
the return of the four Macon companies,
and all the other companies of the regi
ment.
As each section came in the cars
were cleared with the most perfect or
der. The men were not allowed to
leaye the ranks or to make any demon
stration, but under command of their
officers they were marched direct to
Camp Price, where an elegant break
fast was served that had been prepared
by the citizens.
Later in the day a delightful dinner
was served.
Central City park, where Camp
Price is located, has been thronged
with people the live-long day.
l’he regiment will be here until the
October pay day, when the soldiers will
be given a furlough of thirty days, at
the end ot which time they will return
to be mustered out.
Death of Mrs, Randolph Spalding.
Mrs. Mary Spalding, wife of the late
Colonel Randolph Spalding of McIntosh
county, died at ten o’clock on Monday
night last at the residence of her son-
in-law, Capt. A. C. McKinley, on
Sapelo Island, in her 70th year. Mrs.
Spalding had been ill for a long time
and her deatli was not altogether un
expected. She was a noble Christain
woman, and was loved by all who
knew her. The remains were brought
to Darien on Tuesday afternoon last by
i the steamer Dandy and tbe interment
took place at tbe Episcopal cemetery
on Wednesday morning, the Rev. Mr.
Woodard officiating.—Darien Gazette.

Gen. Miles lias a plan of his own for
mustering out the volunteers. It is,
briefly, that when it is necessary to
further reduce the army, to cut the reg
iments to a two-battalion formation
and the companies to seventy-five men.
This would enable those who wished to
quit the service to do so and there
would still be organizations of discip

AUTONOMISTS TAKE A HAND.
Colonial Government Dealing With
Terms of Evacuation.
Washington, Sept. 22.—According
to dispatches from Havana received
by the embassies here, tbe colonial
government of the island is taking a
hand in shaping the terms on which
the evacuation shall be expected. This,
it is believed here, may develop some
new phases in the situation in Cuba.
The colonial gorvenment was e^ab-
lished by Spain shortly before the war
broke out, there being a cabinet of five
officers at Havana and a legislative
body with two houses. It carried out
in a measure the long pending plan of
giving Cuba home rule by means of an
autonomous government, but while in
name autonomous it was contended by
the insurgent element that genuine
home rule was lacking and that this
colonial regime was a coutinuance of
Spanish domination.
It appears, however, that these
colonial authorities are taking a very
active part in the present negotiations,
and that there is more or less co-opera
tion between them and the Spanish
government. This creates a condition
in which the United States must deal
not only with Spain, but with those
who claim to represent tbe, island it
self, free from Spanish control. The
colonial, or autonomist administration,
is very thoroughly organized and can
exert much influence. It established
a regular legation in Washington prior
to the war with several prominent pub
lic men ot Havana on the staff. It
numbers in its ranks much of the
wealth of Cuba and claims to stand
for the educated classes as against the
insurgents and illiterate. This makes
two distinct Cuban classes—the autono
mists who are co-operating with .Spain,
and the insurgents who are opposed to
Spain.
It now seems clear, from the official
as well as the press reports trora Ha
vana and Madrid, that the autonomists
element is taking up the claim first
advanced by Spain that many inci
dental questions as to Cuba must be
settled before the evacuation begins.
But the view among government offi
cials here is that the Cuban autono
mists, as well as the Spaniards, have
no questions to advance or settle be
fore evacuation is determined upon.
The time and place of evacuation is
looked upon by the authorities here as
the only point involved, and there
likely to be a rude awakening if the
pro-Spanisli element, either as autono
mists, or as native Spaniards, insist*
upon bringing in the determination of
the Cuban debt, future forms of gov
ernment, rates of tariff for Spain, and to
many other subjects, as a preliminary
evacuation.
The American commissioners, ac
cording to the understanding here, will
insist on a strict adherence to the pro
tocol for an immediate evacuation ot
tbe island, and if need to be, will sub
mit an u'timatum against taking up
subsidiary questions on Cuba’s future.
While the Cuban colonial govern
ment is thus combining with the Spam
ish government in bringing forward
these incidental questions, yet the
opinion was expressed to-day by a high
diplomatic officer, based on recent ad
vices from Havana, that a serious issue
would be averted, and that the actual
evacuation of the Spanish troops from
Cuba would begin within the next
month. But it appears that the evacu
ation will cover a much longer time
than lias been anticipated. There are
some 100,000 Spanish troops on the
island. Allowing 1,000 men on a
transport and a vessel leaving every
day, it would take one hundred days,
or over three months for the evacua
tion. But the vessels are not available
for a trip every day for one hundred
consecutive days, so that the time of
departure will probably far exceed
tin ee months.

BORN IN GEORGIA.
Richard Malcolm Johnston was born
at the old homestead near Powellton,
Ga., on the 8th of March, 1820. After
receiving such schooling as the neigh
borhood afforded lie entered Mercer
university, then located at Penfleld,
in 1841. He graduated with the first
honors of his class, which was the first
one formed at this noted school. After
teaching school for a year lie studied
law and was admitted to the bar in
1843. 1
In 1857 lie was offered at the same
time the judgeship of the northern cir-1
cuit of the state, and the presidency of 1
Mercer university. He declined both 1
offers and accepted the professorship of 1
Belles Letters in the Georgia State ■
university, which was tendered him !
about the same time. He held this 1
position until the breaking out of the |
war. He then left Athens and opened 1
the famous Rockby school for boys on
his farm three miles from Sparta, Han
cock county. He had about forty boys
in this school, which was kept up dur
ing the whole 01 the war. He educated
here some of the best and most distin
guished men who have lived in Georgia
and the south. i
At the close of the war he removed '
to Baltimore and established the noted 1
Penn Lucy school for boys at Chestnut 1
Hill, about two miles north of Balti- j
more. This school was named in honor
of his daughter, Lucy Devenport, who >
died in Georgia. For many years the ‘
Georgia poet,Sidney Lanier, was asso- j
dated with him in conducting this
school. Mr. Lanier was professor of ma-1
thematics. While at Penn Lucy Richard j
Malcolm Johnston began writing the ; 3

was best known as a literary man he
was also one ot the finest musicians in
the country. As a performer on the

piano. She was equally proficient on
that instrument as the celebrated

In conjunction witli William Hand
