Stokes Anti Option Fight.
The Congressman Will Push
His Bill in Congress.

alS 0l& III SO1SA OSos
Cocgressmsn Stokes aud Mrs. Stokes
returned Thursday from visit to Glenn
Springs. both feeling much improved IN
health. The congressman has few
engagements for addresses to I'll. and
shen be purposes to concentrate bis
energies upon his anti option fight for
the spproaching session of congress.
He talked quite Interestingly of his
measure to the Orangeburg correspond
eat OF the Columbia State and the
prospects of Its success.
.sThis messure," he. said, sis not
proposed as panacea or as substitute
for free silver. But its importance as
factor in bringing about better coodi-
tions is too little appreciated. ALI fu-
sure dealings are rot obnoxious. There
is legitimate future business that
should not be inserfered With. My
measure seeks to limis future dealings
to actual products aud thus eliminates
the speculative trading in wind cotton
IN order to appreciate the injurious eff
fects Of speculative dealings in futures
it must be understood that the sellers
of futures must make money BY de-
cline Of price. The seller Of real cot.
ton makes money by an advance in
price. Their interests are diametri-
eaily opposed. The buyer of cotton
for msnufscture usually iuaugurates
his buying operations by large selling
orders. The eject of sarge selling
orders for future delivery is to depress
the price o! futures This enables the
mauufsesrrer to make a profit on his
future transaction and then buy bis real
cotton at decline. If Manchester
mill wsnss 150, 200 bales of cotton to
spin it would probably cable an order
to New York, but not to bay 100. 900
bales. The order would probably be to
sell large future contracts for
the account of the mill. The
price Of futures being forced down
by the large sales, the mill would then
bay back its owa future contracts at
profit. So far no one but the specula-
tors are helped. But the price of real
cotton has declined with even pace and
the mill buys its real cotton at the de
cline. Thus the foreign manufactures
uses the machinery of our cotton ex
changes to the detriment Of our cotton
growers"

New York, Oct. IA dispatch from
Washington to the Tribune says:
The effective strength OF the United
States has been increased by eight use
ful vessels which recently few the Span
ish flag. Five of these are now attache d
to Admiral Dewey's feet, two are credit
ed to the North Atlantic station and the
last is the cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa,
now under her own steam preparing to
start for Norfolk to be made ready for
active service.
Several days ago the navy department
which is now making up its list of yes
sells in service, which is customary ex-
hIblt of the secretary's annual report to
congress, sent message to Admiral
Dewey for an accurate list of the prizes
he was now untilizing in his fleet. The
questions show what latitude is allowed
to the admiral, and the answer tells how
unhesitatingly he has acted for the good
of the service, and to strengthen his
own forces without waiting for aid from
home. He replied:
"The following former Spanish vessels
are in my possession: Manila, cruiser,
commissioned June 21st, Lieutenant
Commander Frederick Singler; Callao,
cruiser, commissioned July I'd, Lieuten-
ant Benjamin Tappan; gunboats Leyte
and Mindanao, temporarily commits
stoned for action August 10th, Naval
Cadet W. R. White. DEWEY"
The officers named are in command of
the respective vessels.
On the Atlantic the only Spanish ves-
sells now in actual service as result of
being captured by the navy are the gun
boats, Alvarado, commanded by Lieut..
Victor Blue, and the Sandoval, COM
manded by Lieutenant E. A. Anderson. n.
These are exceedingly good vessels for
service In Cuban waters, where the
Spaniards found them most useful.
They are now at Caimanera under
commission.
The Maria Teresa, the only ship of the
Cervera squad ron raised so far, is also
at Caimanera. The Teresa will be armed
with guns taken from the Colon and
other Spanish ships, to replace those OF
her own which may have been ruined.
she will be trophy ship throughout.

IT'S Human Nature.

This readiness to accept the wonderful
and miraculous in preference to COM
monplace truth. A plausible and GLIB
tongued doctor can go from town to town
curing, or trying to cure, people, and
have great influx of shekels,- while
every community in which the so-called
doctor goes is supplied with quiet,
learned practitioners, who have forgotten
more than the fakir ever learned, and
they can give you the best treatmen
within the reach of human knowledge.
While your home doctors carry you from
year to year, get up at all times of the
night and are your servants during the
day, and you pay them when you are
we'll or able, the fakir gets the cash, and
is gone forever. If your eyes are troub-
ling you in any way, call on Prof. P. g..

but there are few Krupps among them.
The strength of the Spanish garrison
in Havana is estimated at 100000 men,
about evenly divided between volunteers
and regulars. This strength could have
been increased at any time by calling
provincial troops to Havana.
The exact number OF arms in Havana
is not known, but the armament on
hand in depote, artillery parks and
stores of all DIVISIONS of the island of
Cuba is:
Mauser rifles and carhines, 131 ,Ol5;
Remington rifles, 1874. of private
guerrillas, $4,000; total, 49,. .989. Out of
this number only $4,000 are believed to
be new. Of cartridges there are 5000
900.
Great ingenuity has been displayed in
tho construction of sunken masked bat
teries. Closely underlying much of the
soil in the vicinity of Havana is coral
rock, easily excavated. Trenches are
cut into it, and from short distances
nothing is seen to indicate the existence
or extent of defensive works.

"When you are sick, what you like
best is to he chosen for a medicine in the
first place what experience tells you is
best, to be chosen in the second place !;
what reason ii. E., Theory says is best
is to bs chosen in the last place. But if
you can get DIR. inclination, DIR. Ex-
perience and DIR. Reason to hold con-
sultation together, they will give you
the best advice that can be TAKEN"
When you have a bad cold DIR. Incli-
nation would recommend Chamberlain's g
Cough Remedy because it is pleasant
and safe to take. DIR. Experience would
recommend it because it never fails to
effect a speedy and permanent cure.
