There is no government so de-
cidedly under the notice of the
American people at this time as
the Spanish. This is because its
method Of management in Cuba
come very near to our own shores.
Whether our Indignation, political
or actual, would be as deep if
Cuba were 10000 miles away, is
an open question; for much that is
sad and done in congress and out
Of it savors greatly of politics and
wire-pulling, while real sympathy
never savors of either.
So, though by letter I have been
asked for an expression Of opin-

interesting also, but more compli-

to congress for immediate action, but
the president has left congress to de-
eide the time within which enduring
peace must be established in Cuba,
and intimates the necessity of haste
by the United States in this connec-
tion in the words sin the near future. ,
He further says that in the case of
failure Of Spain to pacfy the island
with the scheme of autonomy, Ameri-
can interests, humanity and civiliva-
tiOn will demand forsible Intervention.
AS Captain-General Blanco himself
admits that the Cubans In arms will
not accept autonomy, the time the
president speaks of has arrived. 1t
will be noticed that the president
does not even suggest the acceptance
of autonomy by the Cubans, and it is
evident that he would not have writ

bring peace in Cuba"

Atlanta, Dec. 7.-The house had a
red-hot and panicky session, cuImin-
ating in the defeat of the very meas
ure the passage of which has been the
chief object of the egisIature-the
convict bill.
The defeat was caused by the alb
sence of Al democratic members when
the vote was taken. This made the
house go on record as defeating the
bill by a deficit of ten votes.

In the morning, and heaven andearth
are being moved tonight to accom-
plish this end. All absentees have
been telegraphed for by special order.
Unless the bill is reconsldered tomor-
row, it cannot be passed at this SEES
sion. The governor says this would
cost the state 100000.
All the popnlists voted against the
bill. The whole session has been de-
voted to the preparation of the bill,
which was defeated today by the dlla-
toriness and carelessuess of democratic
members.
The house killed the Blalock bill, re-
duciDg the salaries of railroad COM
missioners from 50, 800 to $4,000. This
made Blalock mad, and he made SEN
sational charges Of lobbying. All of
his reform bills have been killed.
Governor Atkinson today vetoed the
anti-football bill, stating that the
trustees ought to control the matter

SUPERIOR COURT
TRIES CIVIL CASES.
The Divorce Docket Again Bobs
Up Serenely in the Pro-

THE CASES AND THE VERDICTS.
Hector Powell Wanted to Get Married Once
More, and the Court Relieved
Him Of Disabilities.

Superior courts second day was not
without interest. There were two
more divorce cases on the docket, and
these were quickly disposed of. A
number of civil suits were tried.
In the case of r. l.. Ford vs.. Jnlia B.
Ford, second verdict was granted the
plaintiff. Similar direction was given
the case of Ozier VS.. Ozier, divorce.
Mr.. N. d. Russell happens to be the
divorce -granter" at this term of the
court. He has signed all the divorce
DEGREES so far made.
Hector Powell, the colored country
merchant, laid his troubles before the
court, through his attorney, Col. Ira
E. Smith. Powell wanted his dis
abilities removed, so that he could
take unto himself another wife. 1t
seems that his wife had obtained a
divorce from him at previous term,
and that he was not able to make de-
fense. A decree of a jury was neces-
sary before he could marry again.
Thejury granted the merchants prayer
and he left at once to acquaint his in
tended with the good news.
In the case of L. W. Wrench VS.. the
Brunswick Publishing Co., the jury
rendered verdict for $s4 with inter-

CHAPLAIN PRAYS FOR M'KINLEY.
A Resolution Concerning the Meaning oi
Another Resolution Occupies q
Great Deal Of Time.

Washington, Dec. T. The house Of
representatives. settled easily down to
the customary routine today. Rev.
Henry Coudon, the regular chaplain,
who delivered the invocation today, in
his appeal to the throne of grace,
! asked for a divine blessing upon the
president IN the hour Of his trial and
anxiety.
After the reading of the journal,
leave was asked by several of the more
important committees to SIT during
the sessions of the house and for the
printing of documents for the use-of
the committees. These requests were
granted.
The presidents message, transmit
ting the report of the special commits
sion on the Paris exposition In 1900,
and recommending a liberal appro-
priation for our representation at the
exposition, was laid before the house.
Mr.. Dingley, from the committee on
ways and means, then presented a
resolution adopted by that committee
for the distribution of the presidents
message to the several committees
having jurisdiction of the various
subjects treated.
Mr.. Walker (Rep.), of Massachus-
etts, chairman of the banking and
currency committee, asked for re-
reading of that portion of the resoIu-
tion giving the ways and means COM
mittee jurisdiction over all portions
relating to "revenues, national A.
nances. public debt and preservation
of the public credit"
Very considerat e debate followed
upon what the language of the resolu-
zion meant, and the issue as to the
jurisdiction over the currency prob
lem as between ways and means and
banking and currency was sharply
raised.

Dying Mother.
Canton, Dec. 7.-President Mckinley
has again reached Canton. He ar
rived over the Pennsylvania in q
special train at s :15 this morning. On
stepping from the train he inquired as
to his mothers condition, and was
much cheered by the reply that she
still lived. He was hurriedly driven
to her home and was soon at her bed
side. She was then resting quietly,
but was unconscious.
Ina little upper room at the McKin-
ley home this morning there was a
scene almost too sacred for the pen to
write. The eyes of all present filled
with tears as they witnessed a remark
able and almost miraculous rally of
the presidents mother from the un-
conscious state into which she had
fallen early this morning. AS her
famous son entered the room accom-
panied by his wife and riece, Miss
Mabel Mckinley, the sister of the
president, Miss Helen, said "dother,
here are William and Ida"
He knelt by the bedside and kissed
her, tenderIy, reverently, and as he
did so she put her arm about his neck
and signifled that she knew him. 1t
seemed to friends that she had some
how or other been waiting for the ar
rival of her son.

CUBA'S DESPERATE FIX.
Half the Cubans Dead and the Rest Enc.
mics Of Spain.


London, Dec. 7.-The Daily Chroni-
Gle publishes this morning a letter
from correspondent in Havana who
says:
"Sagasta's efforts are too late. Under
Weyler's vile regime half of the Cuban
population disappeared, and the re-
naming half has been converted into
implacable enemies of Spain, enemies
who will absolutely refuse to accept
Spain's word.
"The central provinces are a desert
waste. The sugar industry can only
be restored by the infusion of English
and American capital, which few dare
to invest. The island is lost to Spain,
and it is clearly the duty of the United
States to intervene in the interests of
humanity and civilization, and to end
this fearful inferno"

While the commissioned officers of
the torpedo tlotIlla were seated around
the banquet board at the Oglethorpe
last night, the petty officers and sea-
men of the feet were having "high
old time" at the Naval Militia armory,
giving three cheers for Brunswick
every three minutes and making
things lively generally.
The occasion was little entertain
ment arranged by the Naval Militia,
and navy men were merry, as only
seamen know how to be. Many of the
naval miltiamen were on hand to give
the boys a good time. Refreshments
were literally served and the Jack tars
were as happy as lords.
Officer johnson, the chief petty Off
Ger Cf the flotilla, was present and was

Colonel Kay closed the entertain

probable destination of the Naval

the mountains of Tennessee as the

There were warm hand clasps and
