Spain is going out of the col ony business. The Floyd county melon now has the right of way. Schley, like Dewey, is a man of great action and few words. That third call seems to have been delayed in the utterance. The popularity of that popu lar loan seems popular enough. The “Yankee Pigs’” pen is mightier than the Spanish sword While the soldiers exist on hard tack, the stay-at-homes face the hard tax. Georgia will do herself proud, in Atlanta, for the remainder ot the week. Atlanta has the chance of her life—watch her improve the op portunity. How long will it take the Veterans of Santiago to capture Porto Rico? If Shafter captures 25,00(1' Spaniards he ought to get not less than 25,000 rifles. The Spanish officers will need their side-arms for self defense when they arrive in Spain. Total’s desire to be landed in Spain after he has surrendered removes the last vistige of doubt as to*his courage. Don Cameron has offered his fine estate on St. Helen’s Island near Port Royal, S. C., for a soldiers’ hospital. Poor old Toi al, he did his best and in surrendering made good terms out of Beef Shafter, alias “The General.” Witnesses summoned before the present grand jury hav» been put on notice as to what cases they are wanted in. Admiral Dewey captured 1300 prisoners and then cabled for GO, 000 pounds of soap. The hero of Manila seems to know just what is wan'sd Only one man should be con sidered for the position of mili tary governor of Cuba, and hie name is Fitzhugh Lee.—Augus ta Herald. Its about time forMcKinlej and his political gang, who ar now waging a “kind hearted war” on Spain, to begin to su< for peace. 'There is much more politic lhan 'patriotism in some of the military ardor that goes puffing •nd snorting about the rc r Brunswick Times. Says the Philadelphia 'limes: C. L. Wilson, of the Manhat tan club, who went to Sibouey,i Cuba, with a fl ig presented by ' the club to the first New York regiment to reach the front, ■ purchased, while there, for $lO a male negro aged 9 years, whom he will educate and bring up as a good American citizen. The boy’s parents are dead, and the papers were made out by his Unde He is known as “Santia go Buck.” Mr. jWilson might have found white children near er home and far more deserving, and that would have paid better as an “investment.” The average height among the Americans is 5 feet 2. and they have never prcduced an athlete This is due to their living ahnort entirely on vegetables, as thev ship all their beef out of the coun try, so eager are they to make money. There is no doubt that one full-grown Spaniard can de feat any three men in America Madrid El Diario. The above is a sample of the stuff fed to the populace by the Spanish press. And the inexpli cable thing about this is that both the writer and publisher of the article believe it to be true. ■■■■l" ' ' ■ .■■■ Prior to the surronder of San tiago a New York broker want ed Gen- Shafter to shell the city with rockets instead of by the use of guns. He has invented a rocket which will travel 1000 yards, carrying on the tail o f the stick a pound of dynamite; and he proposes to send a flight of lhese-curious engines of de struction into the Spanish trenches. The inventor claims tnat his rockets are safe to han dle apd accurate in execution. • “Schwindeln” is the equivalent in German for ‘Heeling giddj hence, says The Cornhill M gazine the mistake of a well known Ger man conductor who, on the plea >f his wife’s indisposi ion, thu* declined an invitation to an after noon tea in broken English: “Mv wife lies in the afternoon; if she does not lie. th«n she swindles.” It is said the officers and sail ors of Cervera’s fleet knew nothing of Dewey’s victory at Manila until they had been made prisoners of war. If Toral and his soldiers are taken from Santiago to Spain they may never hear of it. • The British are proud to claim kin with us now that we have shown how dangerous we can b to her enemies. It is a great thing to have powerful relations when other people are threaten , mg you. Billy Bryan has been ordered to join Fitz Lee’s regiment Billy might enlighted Fitz on the money question in return for a few lessons in the art o fighting, sagely observes Mrs My rick. Shafter lay flat on his back ■nd conducted the campaign that resulted in the capture of Santiago. If he had only been well enough to have eat up b< might have captured the whoh island. It has been found in Switzer land that in building a railwa laborers could work only on third as long at a heighLof 10 - 000 feet as a mile lower.
