Poor, foolish old murderess,

will be in October
Sampson must have been in
Delilah’s company.

Cervera is now bottled up from
the Spanish court martial.
The administration failed to
bottle up your Uncle Schley.
“They’re after me,” is now
the burden of Admiral Camara’s
song.
The “victimized” brick pav

made in Home.
Re”. A A. Tilly has become
the preacher-soldier preacher of
the 2nd tieor ia.
Gen. Wheeler is the on’y
Southern volunteer officer per
mitted to go to the front.
While remembering the Maine
do not forget the little Glouces
ter, the “cock” of the navy.
•
Congress having adjourned,
Mr. McKinley will now have
more time to devote to the war.
Spain need not take out a
patent on her brand of “honor.”
No nation will ever infringe up
on it.
Linares has not one chance in
a hundred. But your valorous
Spaniard is as obstinate as he
is obtuse.
It cost Spain $ 165,000 to send
Camara through the Suez canal,
and it cost the same amoant to
bring him back thrcugh.
Schley is as modest as Dewey.
They are both democrats. These
are admirable attributes in
which to display a similarity.
L t Watson get at Camara and
the “honor” of, the Spanish
navy will experience its last
“sinking spell.”
What has become of the Third
Georgia regiment? It occurs to
us that it is pulling itself togeth
er mighty slow. —Waycross
Herald.
There are too many politicians
in this war who are used to be
i'g on the fence, to be worried
even by b rbed wire.—Augusta
Chronicle.
The Southern volunteers are
permitted to bivouac in the
South while brigades of the un
ciimai i/.i d Northern vounteers
march through to the war. The
■ South is earger but must give
lhe N nh and West a chance to
continue ’o draw the pension
lUuney.
Noon*- will seek ,ot<.ke from
Sampson any laurels which lie
is entitled to wear. But the
country will not tolerate mw in
justice to Schley, who is known
as one of tho bravest and most
capable officers in lhe navy and
who has covered himself alh ver
with gio yat Santiago. lndia
napolis S nt nel.
• Blanco uas been saying mean
things to Madrid about Ce vera.
This is to be regretted. It is not
impossible that Blanco and Cer
vera may meet ere long as pris
oners of war, and it would be
unfortnate have their personal
relations strained. Uncle Sam
does not want any Spanish duels
on his hands.
Germany has a representative
at Santiago to take observations
oT our methods of fighting. She
had better “look a leedle oud”
how she crowds inside the ropes
at Manila or she will have much
better opportunity for taking
her observations.
In Atlanta they have locked
up a man who said he wanted to
kill Sam Jones. They say he i«
crazy and indeed he must be
crazy, since every sane man
wants Sam to continue to live
and add to his evangelistic tri
umphs and the gaiety of the na
tions. —Savannah News.
Capt. Nevin, of Rome, who
has been forced by ill health to
resign from the army, has the
sympathy of the entire state to
gether with the earnest hope for
his early recovery.—Augusta
Herald.
Shafter has not cabled the
war department a message in
lhe last 24 hours in which he
says he is well. Poor, modest
Shafter I Let the na.tion die ol
anxiety, for Shafter must be <h
irious.
Sigsbee is not being treat* d
fairly in this war. His level head
and heroism at the destruction
of the Maine and during the
investigation that followed,
stamped him as a man of splen
did abilities.
With a general to lead and six
thousand Southern troops for
an army Mexico was overwhelm
ed—Shafter and his all. North
ern troops don’t seem to be do
ing so well—Dewey?
If we are to hold Cervera un
til Spain capturesan adtnird
tor his exchange, why it will be
a long time before Cervera
moves his boarding house.
Schley, a Southerner, was
sidetracked in order that his ju
nior, Mr. Sampson, of the North,
might win the glory. But Schley
got there just the same.
Spain will soon have another
“sad but glorious day.” Cama

preserves and Watteon is to
cruise in that direction.

Better generals and smaller
armies would win the victories
easier.

THE MODERN BEAUTY
Thrives on good food and
-unshine, with plenty of exeicise
i i the open air. Her form glows
nd her face glows with its
beauty. If her system needs the
cleansing action of a laxative
emedy she uses the gentle and
ileasant Syrup of tigs, manufac
tured by the California Fig
Syrup Co., only.

W3L
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of t he combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has\
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. I n order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

IRONICAL IFS
If a man is ignorant he soon
publishes the fact.
If a man itches for fame it
usually keeps him scratching.
If a man is a loafer he prob
