FIGHT FOR A COURT HOUSE.
Collins Wishes to Be the Capital OF
TattnnI County.

Claxton. Ga, Jan. 26.-The campaign for
removal of Tattnalls capital from Reds
vile to Collins, has opened and the indi-
cations are that it will be the warmest
contest ever had in the county. Collins
is situated at the junction of the Sea-
board Air Line, Sti.lmore Air Line and
Collins and Reidsville Railroads, seven
miles north OF Reidsvile 1t IS surround
ed by fertile, healthy and prosperous
territory. The geographical center of the
county is little south of a direct line
between the two towns, about four miles
south of Collins and three miles north of
Reldsville. There is no reason why Cob
Inns should not build up rapidly, even If
1t loses the court house, as the owners of
the land there now say they will push
the growth of the town. There will be
big auction sale of town lots next Tues
day and about 500 lots will be turned
loose to the highest bidder on very rea-
sonable terms

AMERICAN FILIPIN0S.
Issue Their Third Pamphlet on
sour Relations with the Insur-
gents-Were Promises Madef"


Boston, Jan. 26.-The Philippine Infor-
nation Society to-day issued for gratui-
tous distribution it's third pamphlet, en-
titled "Our Relations With the Insur-
gents Prior to the Fall of Manufacturer
Promises Nader"
This pamphlet brings together all the
accessible evidence on the subject sub
mitted to the treaty commissioners at
Paris and to the United States Congress.
compiled from voluminous documents.
The society claims that it's editors have
worked without bias, attempting merely
to be thorough and comprehensive.
The evidence consists chiefly of the con-
sular correspondence on the subject, the
early correspondence between Gen. Mer-
rift and Aguinaldo, which Gen. Merritt
states was deprecated by Admiral Dew
ey," the statements of certain army Off.
GERS before the treaty commissioners At
Paris; and the portions of the army and
navy ships dealing with the subject.
Among the documents repeated is Agul-
naldo's own prayer to Consul Williams on
Aug. l, 1885, that he should "entreat the
government at Washington to recognize
the government of the Philippines.
The society in it's comment on the pray
er. says:
CLEARLY Aguinaldo did not consider
that any recognition had been granted
previous to that date" Further Gen.
Merritt states that his instructions from
the President (given May %, 1899 fully
contemplated the occupation of the islands
by the American land forces"
The foot note says:
at hardly seems as il any pledges would
have been made after Gen. Merritt's ar
rival in the Philippines, in July, 1898.
