Candidate Hogan, in crossing
a swolen branch in Troup coun
ty last Friday, was washed out
of his buggy and carried under

of October cheated out of its ad

THE HERO OF SANTIAGO’
It is stated circumstantially
thbt the distinctive “hero of San
tiago’* is Gen. Joseph Wheeler,
who was born in Augusta. But (or
bini.eothe story goes, General
Shafter, who was aboard ship
during the critical period of the
fight, might have listened to im
portunities for ordering a retreat.
Officers begged Wheeler to retire
tbe command, but he refused and
sent a dispatch to bhafter urging
him to turn a deaf ear to ary ad
vice looking to abandonment of
the contest.
Had General Beauregard, who
was sick in the rear at the battle
of Shiloh, refused to order a re
treat from ihe river bank where
Bragg had the Federal army cor
nered, Grant and his entire force
would have been captured. The
late Colonel Schaller told the writ
er that General Bragg, when he
leceived Beauregard’s order, was
so indignant that he broke his
sword and sullenly obeyed a fatal
command.
All honor to Joe Wheeler, the
ex-Confederate, for his undaunted
fiimnesa. Honor to Shafter for re
fusing to issue an order for retreat
Some of those days the bronze
statue of General Wheeler, as he
stood firm and unflinching at San
tiago, will adorn the city of Wash
ington. —Augusta Chronicle.
“What Georgia needs,” said
Vice President Egan of tbe Cen

coming peach section of the en
tire country.”

THE EXCELLENCE OF STIUF OF HfiS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific procaaaea
known ta the California Fie Sraur
Co. only, and w« wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedg. Aa the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fio Sybup 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 Fio Sykup 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 ie
far in advance of all laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

“God made man in His own
image and Italy in the image of
Judas.”
Os universal suffrage he said :
“It i® the government of a house
by its nursery.”
“If Austria has astonished the

will astonish it by its coward

• ‘Radicals,” said he, “are for
ever wanting the unattainable,
like the Russians, who crave
cherries in winter and oysters
summer.”
“When I wish to estimate the
danger that is likely to accrue to
me from an adversary I first of
all subtract the man’s vanity
from his other qualities.
On one occasion of obedience
to his wife Bismark remarked :
“It is surprising what a man
will do to enjoy peace in his
own house after having had a
thorough taste of war.”
Os himself and his relation*
with Frederick William, Bismarck
once said: “The king regarded me
as a kind of egg out of which he
might be able some day to hatch
a minister. It waa a long time be
fore my poor mother could be per
■uaded that in hatching me she
had not produced a goose.”
At a banquet given by the En*
gliah ambassador in Berlin Bis
marck, speaking of peace and war.
remarked: “Why, after all Attila
was a gaeater man than your John
Bright He left a greater name in
hi«tory. The duke of Wellington
will te known in history as a great
warrior and nut as a pacific states
man.”
Bismarck was showing a friend
rcundhis house some time ago,
and as he laughingly pointed to
the ponderous and forbidding iron
•afe iu his wife’s bedroom he said:
“You see, my wife acts as my
cashier and let mo tell you that a
man who trusts his wife with his
financial interests has discovered
an infallible way to save money.”
After the day on which Bis
marck was shot at (May 7, I 860)
by Karl Blind, his wife said; “It
I were in heaven and saw the vil
lain standing on the top of a lad
der leading down to hell I would
have no hesitation iu giving him a
push.”
“Hush, my dear,” repl : ed Bis
marck, “you would not be in
heaven yourself with such
thoughts as those,”—New York

The Kitterj , Portsmouth and
York Railroad Company is mak
ing money hand over fist over
the presence of the Spanish
prisoners at Kittery, N. H., its
earnings having gone up to
nearly SIOOO per day “The gov
ernment is very strict about let
ting any one on the island,”
said a representative of the com
pany to an interviewer the other
I day. “The cars and boats of our
I lines which ptos th re are not
: allowed to come to a standstill
I near, but they do run mighty
I slow as limy go along there, and
give the passengers all the show
there is to get a glimpse at the
prisoners.”
Porto Rico’s export trade aver
ages about $16,000,000 annually
and the island’s yearly ini orta
tions are about $ 14,000,000, The
Chicago Times Herald expresses
the belief that “under the foster
ling influence of American push
and enterprise a far larger share
of this trade will come to the
United States than we heretofore
have been able to secure even
with the aid of reciprocity treat
ies.”
The citizens of Madison, Ind.,
do not appear to take kindly to
the employment of female conduc
tors on the street cars. The fact
that, the move has deprived as
many men of situations as there
are girls employed is not looked
upon with favor by tbe people, es
pecially as many of tbe new ciu-J
ductors are not compelled by their
circumstances to perform manual
labor for a living .
