Although Coffee Took His EyesIght for

Job because he could not make coffee
without drinking II himself, and II was

cup OF coffee before he got his breakfast
for the men, for he felt the need of keep

told me 1t was a clear case of coffee
poison and If did not quit 1 would never
get well. I had to quit in the hospital,
and gradually got a little better; then

took IL out with me to job in the woods.

about eighteen months and have entirely

the quitting Of coffee and using Postum

Origin of TIE Expression
"Lie DoQn, Weakly"

When the Sixth Florida regiment was
first organized, we were sent to Knoxville,
Tenn, and there we spent two or three
months before we went with General
Kirby Smith into Kentucky In August
Of the year 1862 During this resting
time" Companies A and B were drilled
for skirmishine, as we were armed with
rifles.
One day while going through our drill
practice Captain Sam Love gave the
command, Lie down" A private in
Company B named John Weakley, failing
to obey promptly, the captain called out
In stentorian tones Lie down Weak
ley, II you don't, I'll take a lghtwood
knot and knock you down.
The funniest thing about this to the
boys was that there was not a lightwood
knot within a hundred miles of us.
From this time on, instead OF Tie down,
melish." or ''lie down. state troops" the
word with the Sixth Florida boys was al
ways Tie down, WeakleyV

4. E. Strother'S
Address Desired

The following is the third inquiry from
different sources that has come to this
department for Mr.. A. Z. Strother's ad-
dress. One was printed in the local de-
partment about ten days ago.
Editor Journal:
VIII you please give me Mr.. A E.
Strother's postofflce address. read an
article in The Journal. october 18th. writ
ten by him and headed: Heroic Defense
of Fort Greggs," in 1855. in which he
stated that a stripping of a boy from
Sumter county about sixteen years old. by
the name of Giles fired the last shot and
was bayoneted through the arm and side.
This is true. John Giles, who has been
dead several years was brother Of mine,
and / have heard him tell Of the fight a
number of times and have also seen the
scars several times.
1 think he had something to do with
that flag, as he was taken prisoner ana
carried to Point Lookout.
1 would like very much to communicate
with Mr.. Strother, and hope he will see
this and write to me. Very truly,
Murray, Ga l.. A. GILES.

TO BE TALKED TO DEATH.
Opponents of the ship Subsidy Bill
Loaded with Speeches.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The Democratic
senators and their coworkers in the Senate,
who are opposed to the ship subsidy bill,
did not hold a formal conference to-day
to decide on a course to be pursued with
reference to that measure as it had been
announced they would do the explanation
being made that it had been discovered
that the opposition was still so determined
as to render a formal meeting unnecessary
While there was no caucus there was
general exchange of views of the minor
ity senator's which enabled the leaders to
form a definite opinion the position of
the opposition as a whole. The decision
reached is to continue the debate upon the
bill for the present with the hope of be-
ing able to keep it going until it will be-
come necessary for the Republican major
ity TO take up the appropriation bills and
other measures. which should pass before
the 4th of March. They say that they have
speeches assured for eight or nine days
and that there are probably other senators
who will prepare speeches within, the time.
Among those who will talk are Senators
Daniel Cafferey, Berry, Kenney. Allen,
Money, Lindsay, Butler and Pettigrew
Senators Clay and Turner also will make
speeches in addition to those they have al
ready delivered on this question. 1t is
expected lndl SENATOR Cdllery VIII Talk at
least two days. The opposition also count
upon speeches from the Republican side OF
the chamber, Senators Allison. Perkins,
Spooner and McCumber being included in
TIE list of probable speakers.
The canvass OF the situation has con-
WINGED the Democratic leaders that there
arc half dozen or more Republican sena-
tors who would like to see the bill defeated,
even In its amended form. but they do not
expect their votes against the bill If it
Should come to a vote. On tie other hand,
they count on the loss of some of their
own membership In support of the bill.

LADD NOT TO RETIRE.
Government Does Not Intend to Over.
turn the Present Regime in Cuba.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Silt is said at the
War Department that there is no purpose
to make any immediate change in the
tenure of the United States army officers
row administering the civil affairs of the
military government of Cuba. Therefore
70 orders have gone forward to General
Wood looking to the relief of Major Laid
from his duties as treasurer OF Cuba. Ii
is further said at the department that IN
pursuance of the original plans 1t has been
in contemplation gradually to substitute
civilians for military officers in the dis
charge of administrative affairs in Cuba,
the object being to avoid any annoying
and perhaps dangerous disturbance in af-
fairs that might come from the sudden
assumption Of office by wholly inexperi-
enced civilians when the United States con-
troll is withdrawn. 1t IS entirely probable
that the changing process will begin with
&c minor officers, and as such the tire ts-
urer would be the first relieved. This
change may take place some time in the
coming summer.

WENT TO COLUMBUS.
Delegates to Miners Convention Go
to Meet the Operators.


The United Mine Workers, who were in
convention in this city for ten days, left
on special train yesterday morning for
Columbus, o., to meet the operators in
joint convention. The miners say they will
stand by their demands in the proposed
wage scale and regard the communications
sent out from the operators to the effect
that no increase will be granted as the
customary bluffs" The Illinois operators
will stand by the union in demanding a
run-of-mine basis and a reduction in the
differential, but will oppose a general in
crease OF 10 cents fiat on the ton.
Another important matter to come be-
fore the joint convention will be the re-
quest for the admission of the Iowa and
Michigan operators into the interstate
agreement. The Illinois operators are
strongly opposed TO them coming into the
agreement and will fight it in the Joint
convention. The Illinois miners and oper-
ators are close together, and the miners
may stand by the operators in this respect
for the operators assistance in forcing the
other States TO adopt the run-of-m mine sys-
tenn and uniform differential, although
the miners convention decided to stand
solidly for the admission of the outside
States.
