BUSINESS OFFICE P HONE 85 Poor, foolish old murderess, “Spain. ” Macon’s carnival this year 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 ing for Broad street must be © 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 ra hi s return© 1 to the Spanish preserves and Watteon is to cruise in that direction. < Better generals and smaller armies would win the victories easier. The latest advertising novelty reads thus: I want to C-U-B-A Customer of mine. —Cincinnati Commercial Tri bune.
