Orders were issued Thursday morn
ing making the Third Georgia regi
ment a part of the brigade of Brigadier
General Carpenter. The beadquar-
ters of the brigade will be at Neuvitas,
which is in the province of Puerto
1 rincipe, on the north coast.
1 he Third Georgia will be stationed
at Neuvitas, with six troops of the
Eighth cavalry.
The quartermaster’s department 1ms
been ordered to furnish the Third
Georgia and the Eighth cavalry with
sixty days’ rations at once, and they
will proceed immediately to Savannah,
Ga., embarking on or before Novem
ber 22. It is understood that three
transports have been ordered there to
take the regiment off. The Third
Georgia and the Eighth cavalry will be
the first ot the troops to go to Cuba,
but they will be rapidly followed by
other commands, for the president lias
expressed his intention of putting
fifty thousand soldiers in the island ot
Cuba,
The distinction given the Third
Georgia in being sent first is consid
ered a great one. Neuvitas, be
ing in the north part of Cuba, is con
sidered a particularly healthy place.
It is not likely that the troops will ar
rive at their destination before the
first of December, and the officers and
men of the Third Georgia can look
forward to a pleasant service. It is
the intention of the war department
to have General Lee’s corps sail about
the last of December, and the greater
portion of it is to go to Havana prov
ince.

The death of Thos. R. R. Cobb,
I which occurred at Colorado Springs,
[last Wednesday morning, brings sor-

admirers in this city. His mother was

I this city, and in his boyhood lie made
frequent visits to this place. He pos-
I sessed a magnetic personality and was
a most fascinating orator. A tew

"if and humor has rarely been equalled
at college commencements and received
enthusiastic praise from his hearers.
The Best Plaster.
A piece of flannel damped with
Chamberlain’s Bain Balm and bound
to the affected parts is superior to
*ny plaster. When troubled with a
pain in the chest or side, or a lame
tack, give it a trial. You are certain
to be more than pleased with the
prompt relief which it affords. Pain
Balm is also a certain cure for rheu
matism. For sale by Geo. D. Case.
To-day, the Hth of November, the
people of the United States will de
cide what the political complexion of
the next federal congress will be.
In the present House of Represen
tatives there are 2<>7 republicans, 150
democrats, populists and fusionists, a
republican majority of 57 over all.
The best republicans claim is that
the next congress will contain a work
ing majority of 27. Several weeks
ago the same authority claimed a ma
jority double these figures.
Democratic authorities combat tlujse
claims and insist that the election to
day will give the democrats a clear
majority of the next federal house of
representatives.
In New York, Indiana, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
North Carolina the conditions are
such that democratic gains are almost
absolutely sure, and there are doubtful
districts in many other states.
The campaign has not been held
down to either the currency or the
tariff issue, but the war with Spain
has brought in new argument (hat may
exert influences to hurt the party ot
the administration.
Just what the outcome will be no
man can now definitely foretell, but
that the democrats will be stronger in
the next congress than they are in
this, euen the most hopeful republicans
admit.
In Georgia the delegation will con
sist of eleven demucrats, as in the
present congress, and in no southern
state will the democratic strengtli be
reduced.
The most hopeful republican esti
mate places the next Senate at 45
republicans, 30 democrats, 12 silver-
ites and 3 populists—a tie on the cur
rency question.
Governor Candler says that when he
was a candidate for governor he asked
the people to hear him, and now that
he is governor he considers it his duty
to hear the people whenever they
have anything to say to him. This is
true Democracy.
There are today in Georgia 7,433
common schools and 446 local system
schools, the former employing 8,30G
teachers and the latter 1,119. There
are nearly 500,000 pupils.
The man who starts a newspaper in
a community where it is not needed
makes about the same kind ot excuse
as the man who runs for office when he
is not wanted, remarks an observant
exchange.
The Thomasville Times is right
when it says: Judges and Solicitors
should be nominated by the different
circuits in which they are to preside
This is home rule. And its democratic,
too.

Greensburg, Pa., July 11,1898.
About four years ago one side of my
abdomen began to enlarge from a
growth inside. It grew to such pro
portions that it seemed to till the ab
domen. Then dropsy began and
swelled both legs and stomach to twice
their normal size. The doctors called
the trouble enlargement of the spleen,
and told me I must die. I was re
moved from the hospital and sent tor
Dr. J. H. McLean’s Liver and Kidney
Balm. I took seven bottles and con
tinually gained and am well in every
way now. The dropsy entirely disap
peared and left the growth very small.

COMMUNICATED.
Words and Phrases.—Name.
Humbuggery is the stock in trade
with every one more or less, if there
be anything in a name. It is the name
one seems to catch at more or less, ami
many times are influenced by a mere
name. What crimes have been com
mitted in the nameot Liberty, Religion
and the People/ A name or a word,
"hen it conveys to the mind a clear,
positive, direct, and impressive idea,
thought, or will of action, there is a
power, a magic in such a name. The
name of some man many times stands
out as expressive of some peculiar
thought or characteristic. Some creed,
faith or belief, is connected with some
church, society or association. Some
principles or policies are associated
with some party name which gives
point and force to that party.
But alter all, man is more the creat
ure of shitting, twisting, tumbling, and
contradicting policies
else. The reason ii
from the fact, that as we think, inves
tigate, grow wise from experience and
observation, we must change with
changed surroundings and circumstan
ces. It is the unthinking mind which
never changes. It is the mind desti
tute of the elasticity of progress and
development which always lives in the.
past, and not the present; a mind in
capable of seeing a foot ahead, or draw
ing any kind of conclusions. They are
those who ever say: “I was pot ex
pecting that; I was not looking for that;
it takes me by surprise.”
THE GREAT DANGER.
One of the greatest dangers of the
day is servility to a name. The name
seems to be everything, while princi
ples and policies are the satellites which
must revolve around a mere name. In
our political, social, or religious asso
ciations, we hold on to a name, live on
words or phrases, after such names,
words, or phrases have lost their mean
ing. The tiistory of mankind is a re
cord of wrong, oppressions, misdoings,
and of the misery which has resulted
from this slavish fear of a name,
word or a phrase, and which
acts as a mill stone tied to the
human intellect. Bonaparte with the
word “glory” for France was always at
war. Great battles have been fought;
empires have been destroyed; people
have been enslaved; tyranny, injustice
and oppression have been inflicted all
by a name or a word, or a phrase.
THE WORD.
In society we have the word “Fash
ion,” or the “Proper Thing,” and those
who follow in the slavish rut of society
are slave* to “Fashion,” or the “Proper
Thing.” Then we have the word
“Church,” and the followers of this,
that, or the other church, will roll up
their eyes, or throw up their hands, or
draw down their taces, and say, “My
churcli believes so anti so, and does so
and so.” Many swear by the popes,
priests, parsons, and preachers, and ol
course they swear by their “church.”
The villainies of an established church in
any country, have been the greatest
villiany that has ever cursed a people.
With sword in hand, they have enslav
ed both mind, soul and body of men.
Conquests in the name of the church
and religion have been waged that the
church might steal, oppress and grow
rich. All history declares that fact.
PARTT WORD.
Then we come to political parties
with their humbug of a name. The
Democratic party, the Republican
party or any other party. The people
are not taught that they are voting for
certain policies of government, but a
party name, and a party name is rung
in their ears all the time. The socall-
ed Democratic party stands for any and
everything, just as party platforms are
built; or just as church, stands for any
or everything as those who run the
church reso’ves. So of the Republican
party, with a platform the work of a
few party leaders, sent out and branded
Republicanism. How long will the
people te such fools as to be led by a
mere party name, when policies are
everything in government, and not a
party name. Partisans like chameleon
lizards change to *uit their surround-
ings.
THE POLICY
Ot this government in regard to the
late war, or the war yet unsettled, as
regards Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippine Islands has nothing to do
with a party name, yet, the people like
a set of asses will allow themselves to
be known by some party name as to
whether the U. S. government should
take and keep all they have now under
arms.
If the U. S. government went to war
for a principle, it should so be pro
claimed clearly, and positively. If it
went to war under a pretense for a prin
ciple, but really to steal, take and hold
by force Spanish territory, the govern
ment should so state. But the U. S.
government, like many a man, or a
general, have been taken by surprise at
their successes, and have no settled
policy or principle to control them.
Napoleon never had a policy or a prin
ciple until he won a battle, and accord
ing to the tar reaching results of his
success did he have a policy. Will
the U. S. government be governed by
his policies, such as they were? We
