Pimples, blotches, yellow skin, scaly
and ugly spots, foul breath, dark rings
about the eyes, owe their existence to
a diseased liver and bad digestion. To
remove these dlsfigaring evidences of
internal disorder the liver should re-
ceive immediate attention. DR.. J. ii.
McLean's Liver and Kidney Balm is a
reliable remedy for liver troubles and
disarrangements in the kidneys. Its
use will restore those organs to the
healthy, active and regular perform
ance of their functions. When this is
accomplished the eye will become
bright and sparkling. the skin fair and
smooth, and the complexion clear.

LETTER FBOM MANILA,

We take the following extract
from a letter from First Lieuten-
ant Harry G. Cole, of the 23rd
Infantry T. S. Regulars, to his
mother in Marietta:
On board "Colon," July Goth,
1899.-Spent yesterday afternoon
cumming around Cavite, which
l found to be a very interesting
old place. The Spaniards had
very we'll equipped arsenal there
and the house of the commandment
was an ideal one for comfort in
this country. 1t is now occupied
by our officers and is in fine con-
dition, except one or two rooms
which were wrecked by a she'll
which crashed through the roof
and burst In the house.
There are large numbers of
Spanish prisoners yet in the town,
many of them being in the hands
of the insurgents. Some OF them
are allowed to walk around the
town, but l think most of them
are having pretty hard time, as
these insurgents are a mean lot of
barbarians, from all l can gather.
The natives of the old town seem
to be harmless enough; but they
are a measly lot of small, dirty
looking savages. | think we are
liable to have more trouble with
the natives than with the Span
iards. Their Chief, Aguinaldo,
after being helped out and sup
ported, so as to have a power that
he never could have acquired
without American aid, now shows
a disposition to run things as he
pleases, without recognizingus at
all.
There was a little excitement
here last night when we noticed a
lot of signaling from the shore,
where part of our men had land
ed. 1t seems that the Spaniards
had come out from the defenses
of Manila to chase off the insur-
gents, who were getting too gay.
The latter stampeded and fell
back on to the camp of the lst
Colorado volunteers, who came
over with us and had just been
landed to go into camp about two
miles from the Spanish lines. So,
during the chase of the insurgents,
some of the bullets fell over in
the Colorado camp and created a
stir and they all turned out and
formed in battle order, so they
say, but couldn't see anybody to
shoot at.
We seem to be in rather a pc
culiar state here as far as war is
concerned, for We are sitting
around in range Of the Spanish
heavy guns and yet they never
fire at us. Small boats from the
war ships go right up to within a
few hundred yards of Manila and
take soundings and bearings to
their hearts content.
Manila Is pretty well protect
ed from any land attack and, if it
were not for the navy, think we
would have quite time taking
it; but when the navy batters
down some of the Notifications,
| don't think we will have much
trouble getting in. Don't think
we can use artillery to amount to
anything, on account Of the inn
possibility of getting horses.
Gen. Merritt has not yet arriv-
ed-we are expecting him every
day. Don't know whether my
battalion viii camp at Cavite or
above there with the other troops.

WHAT HE SAW.
Shreveport, La. Aug. Is. 1S9,

Shreveport, La. Aug. Is, 1898
Eds. MARIETTA JoURNAL-Some
time early in the summer, Major
j. G. Lee, Commissioner of Agri-
culture of Louisiana, began a cor
respondence with the directors of
the experiment stations of Missis-
sippi, Alabama and Georgia for
purpose of securing the services of
a competent man to deliver Sc
ries of lectures before the Farm
er's Institutes of North Louisiana
on the subject of protecting hill
lands against washing. After
some correspondence with Major
Lee, | had the honor of the ap-
pointment, which l consider a
compliment to myself, to my
county, (Cobb) and to our state.
The Institute corps is working
under the auspices of the State
Bureau of Agriculture and Immi-
grafton, and is, without doubt,
doing great good among the farm
ers.
| think our state would do a
great good to the farmers Of
Georgia by following the exam
pie of Louisiana along that line.
Mai. J. G.. Lee, of Baton Rouge,
La, would, no doubt, give any
information within his power.
At these Institute meetings
good cheer prevails, being supple
mented by regular old-fashioned
barbecues and magnificent basket
dinners. Politics are barred out.
AS one of the Institute corps, |
have had fine opportunity for
observing the condition of the
farmers, and also the splendid ag-
ricultural resources Of the state.
My travels have been mostly in
North Louisiana, in what is called
the hill country. / have never seen
finer peaches than those grown
here. At one place farmer had
five watermelons as a supplement
to the basket dinner, and not one
of the five | was assured weighed
less than sixty pounds.
In many of the parishes the
farmers are raising large numbers
of mules and horses, and good
ones too. Large herds of cattle
and hogs are also raised. But the
finest hogs / ever saw are owned
by Mr.. w. F. Foster, of this city.
Mr.. Foster also raises large herds
of cattle and vast quantities of
hay. His hogs are Poland Chinas
and Berkshires, the sows weighing
400 to 900 pounds, the males
900 to 800 pounds.
AS to the health of the peo-
| pie, have never seen a finer
looking lot Of people, men and
women, and never a Kinder or
more hospitable people. The wa
ter here is not as good as that of
North Georgia.
Shreveport is the Atlanta of
Louisiana-alive and on the move.
The finest cotton l have seen, that
is, to be in the field, is in Lincoln
parish, on the V S. & P. r. r.
The most beautiful lands, and
perhaps the most productive, are
Red River valley.
/ am not exactly homesick, but
am looking anxiously for the time
to start home; am rather i'm
patient to see some of the old red
hills of Georgia, and to taste some
of the health-giving waters of
Cobb. II. J. DUNTON.

An exchange speaks OF a man who, it
is said, always pays for his local paper
in advance. As result he has never
been sick day in his life, never had
any corns on his toes, or the toothache,
his potatoes never rot, his oats never
rust, the weasel never kills his. chick
ems, the frost never kills his beans, his
babies never cry at night and his wife
never scolds.

That's what we sell the people who
come to buy of our stock of Tea and
Coffee and Groceries, and an investiga-
ton of short duration proves the truth
of the statement. Delve little further
into the matter and it will be found that
prices are much below what is usually
charged for equal quality-but to keep
the business wheels moving briskly, we
oil them with cut prices, and it's pleas
ure to see things move, but it's more
than pleasure to secure Tea and Coffee
and Groceries at such prices.

SOLDIERS RAN THE CAR.
They Demonstrated That They
Would Pay Only Five Cents.

They Demonstrated That They
Would Pay Only Five Cents.
The Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of
Hope Railroad found early that it was re-
duced to the necessity of putting the fare
between the Dale avenue camp and the
city down to cents.
1t did not take the conductors and mo-
tormen Of the road long to find out that
they could not collect 10 cents from the
soldiers for a fare one way, and they did
not hesitate to report the matter promptly
to the officials of the road. Just before
the fares were reduced a party of soldiers,
about fifteen in number, went out on one
OF the cars to the camp. When they ar
rived at the junction and started for the
camp from that point an effort was made
to collect another fare from them. This
the soldiers refused to pay, saying they
could not afford more than cents for a
ride to the camp.
The conductor and motorman of the car
had their orders, and they set to work
attempting to collect the additional cents.
You will have to pay or get Off" the
conductor said.
I'VE won't pay and we won't get off, -
said one of the soldiers.
'Then I will not run the car" put in
the motorman.
Gan right, we've got a motorman of our
own" remarked one of the soldiers as he
took hold of the controller and started
the car. The soldiers carried themselves
out to the camp, told the conductor and
motorman goodnight, and got off.
The citizens of Savannah are now ask
ing the question why they should pay any
more than 10 cents to ride out to the camp
and back. Many of them consider it an
attempt on the part of the Company to
gouge. They do not think 1t worth any
more 10 ride out to Dale avenue and back
than to ride around the belt and they con-
slider it unjust that they should be charged
10 cents for the round trip. Savannahians
pay more probably for street car fares
for the distance Travelled and get less ac-
commodation than is paid anywhere else
in this country.

UNIVERSITY MEN MEET.
An Evening of Speeches and Spread
by Old College Boys.

by Old College Boys.
A largely attended meeting of the Uni
versity Club was held last night at the
office of Denmark, Adams & Freeman. It
was the quarterly meeting of the organi-
cation.
Mr.. T. A. McGregor of Statesboro was to
have been present and was down for
paper on university education, but was de-
layed by his train being late. In his alb
sence, programme of extemporaneous
speeches was substituted. There was no
chance for preparation, as none of those
called upon had had any lntimation that
they would have to speak. This is nothing
to many of the members of the University
Club, however, and some very entertaining
and eloquent responses were made to the
calls. The talk, after a time, became gen.
eral, and wit and humor were the, order
of the evening.
1t was late hour when the meeting adj
journed, but none of those present had
thought of such a thing as consulting their
watches to see If it was time to go home.
They were too greatly interested 10 think
of that.
The resignation of Rev. A. NJ. Williams,
presiding elder of the North Macon dis
trict of the South Georgia Conference,
formerly pastor of Wesley Monumental
Church, was read. The resignation was
regretted as Mr. Williams has been re-
garded as one of their best and most cner-
getic members. His absence from the city
makes it impracticable for him to retain
his membership. The club decided unanI-
mously to elect him an honorary member.
The members enjoyed nice little spread,
the meetings never being without This ac-
compartment Col. John Screven, presi-
dent of the club, presided. Reports re-
ceived from the University regarding the
two young men who are attending the in
stitution as beneficiares of the plan the
club has had In effect for some years, were
read and We're highly satisfactory The
young men are doing well at school and
the members of the club are glad to know
that such is the case. They feel a salts
faction In knowing that what they are
doing for the young men is thoroughly APP
preciated and that they are striving to be
a credit to themselves and to the organi-
zation through whose liberality they are
