dent of the raising of the American
flag over Santiago de Cuba: "When the
time came to raise the flag Scovel (Syl-
vester Scovel, correspondent of the
New York World) attempted to make
his way to the roof of the palace, with
the Intention of participating in some
way in the ceremony. He was ordered
down by the guard. Immediately after
the ceremony Scovel pushed his way to
General Shafter and slapped the gener-
ais face. He was promptly arrested, :"
Scovel is one of thu stars of yellow jour

Fishing for Health.

When a man breaks down with that
dread disease, consumption, and recognizes
his condition, he starts out to fish for
health. He tries this thing and that thing
He consults this doctor and that doctor
He INDUCES in all kinds of absurd athletic
exercises. He tries first one climate and
then another. He tries the rest cure and
the work cure. He grows steadily worse.
That is the story of most conservatives

A Walk OYER THIS YEAR,

Not since in 1892 has the state demo.
cratic ticket had such fair field and
such a slight use for favors. 1t was ID
1892 chat formidable opposition appear
ed and for time proved troublesome
to the democratic party, but in the
campaign just begun it promises to be
a very uDimportant factor.
1t is just such a time as this that the
democratic party should demonstrate
more fully than ever before that it is
the party Of the people; not mere ma

pie, but an organization founded upon
principles calculated to do the greatest
good to the greatest number of people.
A strict adherence to this principle of
government will always silence the OPP.

Garcia Disgusted and Has Withdrawn His
Forces TO the bills.

Santiago special to the New Yorl,
journal says that General Garcia
has written letter to General
Shafter declaring that he is Disguised
at his treatment at the hands of the
Americans, and therefore wlthdraws his
forces to the hills.
Among other things of which Garcia
complains is the failure of the American
commander to officially notify him of
the surrender of the Spanish force under
Toral; and he is also incensed at The al
legged fact that he was not invited to he
present at the ceremony attending the
formal capitulation of Santiago. An.
other grievance is the retention of the
Spanish civil authorities in the admin
istration of their functions in Santiago
For these reasons General Garcia de-
clares he will no longer Cooperate with
the forces uuder General Shafter lint
will act independently as he did before
the American troops landed in Cuba.

CUBAN SOLDIERS ROUTED.
Garcia's Army Suffers in an Engagement
With Spaniards.

With Spaniards.
A dispatch to the New York Herald
from Santiago says:
Great excitement was caused in San
tiago on Thursday by story brought in
by the Cubans that four thousand insur-
gents composing Garcia's army were
routed in fierce engagement with a de-
tachment of Spanish troops bound to
Santiago to surrender.
The battle took place several miles
north Of the city. Many Cubans were
killed and many more were wounded.
The Spanish loss was smaller.
Nothing happening in this vicinity re-
Gently has taken the American officers
and troops so completely by surprise as
this story of the battle between the Gu
bans and the Spaniards.
The Spaniards drove Garcia's men into
full retreat. A few hours after the bat
tie began the Cuban general withdrew
his troops to the mountains.
DE has resolved to move on Holguin
if the Americans will not allow them to
wreak their vengeance on the Spaniards
in Santiago.
The Cubans proposed to storm some
other Important place. 1t was with this
object that Garcia withdrew his troops
from the American lines and refused any
longer to act as an ally with Skater. He
decided on the capture of Holguin if
possible and there set up an insurgent
government, making that place the Gu.
ban headquarters for the eastern DEPART
ment.
The Spaniards had been gathered from
the fortified towns in the vicinity and
were proceeding to Santiago under terms
of surrender. They were seeking TO
carry out in good faith the agreement
made with Shafter, and were not looking
tor tight and were caught off their
guard.

Unique Things Done and Said by Georgia
Preachers.
A unique compact has been entered
into between Rev. r. A. Brown, pastor
of the Presbyterian church at Way
GROSS, and a member of his congrega-
ton. The layman has been conspicu-
Gus for his absence from church for
several months past, and when admon-
ished and entreated by the pastor to
attend regularly gave poverty as his
excuse. "Why, sir, l have not the price
of shoe shine left over from my earn
ings after paying my bills, and 1T is
therefore impracticable for'me to at
tend church" "Well, " said the pastor,
''come over to my study every Sunday
morning at O'Clock and I will shine
your shoes" They shook hands and
sealed tie compact.

The Manchester, New Hampshire,
Union, in noting that Senator Tillman
is opposed to the policy of imperialism,
says he has considerable amount of
horse sense beneath his rough exte-
riOr, and quotes him apprOyingly as fol
lows: Americans, while clarifying in
the herOism of Dewey and HObsOn,
should not forget that the Roman en-
pire rotted at the core as it increased
in area. We can safely rest under the

A reference to the table giving the
amount AMI per cent of taxes returned
as delinquent in the different townships
of this county will reveal the nccessity
Of some relief in this matter. IL will be-
seen that the percentages vary from
about thirty-thrce in Crystal Falls
township to siXty-seven pee cent IN Hem
attic township and that three townships
have returned over sixty per cent OF
their taxes as delinquent. Certainly
there il food for reflection in these
figures.
One matter that We wish 10 call 10
the attention oI the several boards of
review in this connection Is the high val
uationa upon the lands that have been
returned delinquent for the last five or
six years and upon which the owners do
not calculate TO ever pay the tax The
land is practically worthless and
80 the taxes can never be obtained
from the sale oi the land. By
placing a. high valuation upon such
lands the boards are simply Keeping up
this high proportion Of delinquent tax.
In Crystal Falls township there is a
great deal of such land. II Is impossible |
