Now if President Sam Ham, of

then call the game a draw.
Secretary of State Porter's
explanation for having- monke3Ted

The late turbulent scenes in the

Austria has the most dangerout
mixed population of any nation on
earth, and it will tax the utmost
sagacity of Emperor Joseph and his
premiers to keep peace in the fami
ly. The glowing reports sent out by
Alaska mining fakirs of the im
mense wealth hid away in the
bowels of the earth over there that
can be had for the digging, is hav
ing" the desired effect on an ever
credulous people, and thousands of
persons will swallow the bait, hook
and all, in their eagerness to be
come wretched.
The courts throughout the coun
try appear to have come at last to
the conclusion that defaulting bank
presidents, cashiers, and state and
county officials, must be prosecuted
to the lull extent of the law, and a
few good examples have been set.
Our populist friends who are now
riding rough-shod over the state

Sylvester Scovil, the American
reporter who is ma"king a close in
vestigation of affairs in Cuba, re
ports that a number of Cubans,
wishing to surrender under General
Blanco's amnesty proclamation,
were cruelly butchered by the Span
ish soldiery as soon as they had
them within their lines. This
shows plainly what the Cuban
patriots may expect if they trust
the peace offering of the Spanish
cut-throats.
Past experience shows that the
present method of state and county
officials, of receiving security for
iunds from bondsmen, is in some
instances entirely inadequate. As
the state grows larger in assess
ment, the amount of bonds required
by the men who handle the
state and counties' money, will in
crease in proportion, which, in fact,
excludes the man of but small
means and without rich friends,
from holding an office where a bond
is required, for be it either private
individual or bank, whoever goes on
an official bond for ten thousand
dollars or whatever the sum might
be, expects a compensation in pro
portion, and herein lies the incep
tion of peculation robbing Peter
to pay Paul. But the greatest dan
ger is in the fact that the bonds
men have the right to dictate the
wording of the bond, as has been
proven whenever a case ot default
came to light. The bond is so full
of loop-holes for escape that it is
only rarely that the state or county
recovers a cent. Would it not be
advisable that some new method be
embraced and tried; for instance a
bond compauj even if the treasur
er's deput' is subject to the bond
company's appointment, and the
premium to be paid b- the state
and county. This plan would be
more secure and at the same time
leave the treasurer to attend to his
business unhampered by any obli
gation. The matter should be acted
upon by our legislature at its next
session.
A South Dakota dame with a lack
ol confidence in man, and who has
long since declared emphaticallly
he intentions of "going it alone,"
recently got hold of an advertise
ment of a mining company, with
headquarters at Seattle, Wash., that
was supposed to be doing business
in a hole in the ground somewhere
in Mexcio or Alaska. The usual
glittering" inducements were of
fered as bait. She corresponded
with somebody and was asked to
invest $500 in the company's claims
which would give her the desirable
position of secretary and assistant
treasurer, and 25,000 shares of
stock in the subterranean venture.
But her mistrustful nature asserted
itself and unlike too many of the
opposite sex she took the advice of
the proverbial grass-hopper before
allowing her bank account to be
cut down. It is needless to add
that the-dear girl is now exceed
ingly tickled over her good fortune,
as she has just been advised by the
Seattle chief of police to keep her
grub stake. A fair warning to
those who are tumbling pell mell
into the fortune - seeking business
with nothing in sight but an empty
sack while the other fellows rattle
your hard-earned money.

EORGIA troops
had no trumpeter
to sound their
praises as sol
diers in the serv
ice of the south
ern Confederacy.
Battlefield rec
ords are the only
in e in o r i als o:
their valor. Many
of Lee's best sol
diers in the Army
of Northern Yir
ginia wero Geor
gians, and from a series of regimenta
histories prepared in 1864, while the
regiments were at Petersburg, the data
for the following sketch of the "Old
Third" Georgia was obtained.
In the spring of 1SG4 tho congress o:
tho Confederate states passed a joint
resolution of thanks to tho officers and
men of the Third Georgia regiment for
having been first to leave their state to
battlo on tho soil of Virginia, for their
gallant record on many historic battle
fields and for having as an entire regi
meut to a man "cheerfully and unani
mously re-enlisted for tho war."
The Third Georgia was organized in
the spring of lSGl from ten companies
which, with ono or two exceptions, bar
been in existenco several years previous
to tho war. Nino counties were repre
sented Burke, by tho "Burke Guards ;"
Putnam, by tho " Brown Rifles ;" Green,
by tho "Dawson Grays;" Morgan, by
tho "Home Guards;" Houston, the
"Governor's Guards;" Wilkinson, the
"Wilkinson Rifles;" Richmond, by the
"Confederate Light Guards, " aud the
"Blodget Volunteers. " Clarke county
turned out the "Athens Guards."
volnnteer who had come torwarrt at
Augnsta and enlisted among the pri
vates was elected colonel, inis was
Ambrose R. Wright, who became noted
as a general in Leo's army
After serving a short time at Norfolk
the Third marched to the defense of tfip
coast of North Carolina against Burn
side's Roanoke expedition An incident
there illustrated the nature of Burnside's
warfare. One day the regiment embarked
on two or three gnuboats belonging tc
what was called the Mosquito fleet and
pounced upon tho United States trans
port steamer Fanny, which was carry-
ing provisions and clothing from the
fleet off Hatteras to a small camp on
the Chicamacomico river The Fanny
was captured with all its cargo, 2 can-
nous and 40 prisoners. Tho supplies
were intended for tho Twentieth Indiana
regiment, and many of tho prisoners
were from that command. Three days
later, having been re-enforced, the Third
swooped down upon tho camp on the
banks of tho Chicamacomico, shelled out
its occupants aud seized the entire
equipago of tents, baggage and rations.
Being largely outnumbered, without
any supports, tho Twentieth Indiana,
whose camp it was, retreated to Hat
teras.
These two regiments, the Third Geor
gia and Twentieth Indiana, met after
ward on oven ground at tho battle of
Oak Grove, in front of Richmond, .lune
25, 18G2. It was an all day skirmish
rather than a battle, but was a good
test for soldier pluck At tho close of it,
after nightfall, the colonel of tho Twen
tieth Indiana sent a flag of truce to
Colonel Wright of the Third Georgia
asking permission to bury his dead.
The Georgians remained in North
Carolina until the Army of the Potomac
laid siege to Richmond in May, 1SG2
With tho exception of tho skirmish on
the 25th of June, when McClellaii seiz
ed the ridge at Oak Grove for his heavy
batteries, this regiment did not take
part in tho fighting around Richmond;
neither did the brigade nor division nor
corps to which it was attached. Colo
nel Wright was promoted to the com
mand of tho brigade, and tho Third
Georgia was led by Major John R. Stur
gis. The first heavy battlo of the "Old
Third" was on the 1st of July, when,
in tho ranks of Wright's brigade, it
charged tho Federal batteries at Mal
vern Hill. General Wright led his men
forward under the shelter of a bluff to
a position a few hundred yards from
McClellan's guns. On a signal the lino
dashed up the slope, its leader with his
cap poised on his glittering sword, in
tho faco of a murderous firo of shot,
shell, canister and bullets. When with
in 300 yards of the guns, General
Wright saw a body of Federal infantry
marching around his left flank This
command was tho Fonrteeuth New
York volunteers. Wright threw the
Third Georgia regiment back toward
tho rear, and with a sudden chango of
front tho Georgians poured a galling
fire upou tho New Yorkers. This was
returned by a fearful and direct fire
from tho Federal batteries. Tho battle
raged thero for more than an hour A
second charge was ordered from that
point, aud Wright carried his brigade
almost to tho muzzles of the enemy's
batteries. He had less than 300 men left
out of the 1,000 which started with
him upon the charge. Darkness soon
stopped the fighting. Tho Georgians
maintained their position under fire un
til, after 9 o'clock. The loss in the Third
Georgia regiment, which went into bat
tle with 250 rank and file, was 157
Ont of that number 5? were killed or
mortally wonndexl. Major Sturgis fell
at tho head of a regiment under the
very muzzles of the enemy's guns. The
captain who succeeded him was also se
verely wounded
In taking leave of the Chickahominy
region the chrouicler of the fortunes of
1 ho Third Georgia states that during
one mouth of campaigning on the banks
of that stream tho regiment suffered
severely from disease, and the ranks
were reduced by sickness from 1,000 to
about 300 fit for duty Upon leaving
the peninsula Major M. B. Montgomery
took command of the regiment, and in
the next battle of Manassas, in August,
18G2, he was severely wounded and dis
abled. Captain Nisbet, tho last leader
shot down at Malvern Hill, then took
command with the rauk of lieutenant
toloueL At Antietam Colonel Nisbet
was severely wounded and disabled for
Jifo. The regiment mustered only 125
men at the beginning of that battle and
jost24 killed and 48 wounded.
The Georgians encamped that winter
on the banks of the Rappahannock, and
their historian gives a further hint at
the hardships, which have heretofore
been looked at chiefly from the northern
Bide. He says, "The suffering of this
command at United States ford (on the
Rappahannock) from cold, short rations
and a scanty supply of clothing could
scarcely have been excelled by those
which so severely tried the fortitude
and patriotism of our forefathers when
quartered in the historic Valley Forge.
Under its fifth commander, Major John
F. Jones, tho Third entered the cam
paign at Chancellorsvillo and was in
the thick of the fight from the first day
until the last
It was in the advance of Stonowal
Jackson's flanking column and fought
for tho right of way around Hooker's
army. On the morning of Sunday, May
8, when the grand charge was made
upon the position at the Chancellor
House, the Third Georgia was sent out
alone to clear the way of Federal sharp
shooters. Tho next day it hurried down
tho plank road toward Fredericksburg
and took part in -tho battlo of Salem
Church with another wing of Hooker's
army. It was in battle every day from
May 1 to May 4 and came out with a
loss of 189 killed and wounded, none
missing. Major Jones was among the
wounded and suffered tho loss of his
right arm. Ho was tho fourth leader
shot down at the head of the regiment
in ten months of campaigning.
A large number of recruits joined the
regiment about this time, and the Third
marched to Gettysburg 500 strong. Its
most brilliant action was on the even
ing of tho second day, when A. P. Hill's
corps took up the fight which Long
street had begun when attacking Round
Top. General Wright's brigade, in
which tho Third Georgia still served,
was one of tho commands which pierced
tho Federal lino on tho right of Sickles'
corps, when Longstreet's troops wero
dashing upon its front. The Federals
wero driven from their guns on tho
ridgo along the Emmitsburg road
Wright's brigade seized 20 pieces of
cannon, 1 1 of which wero prizes of the
Third Georgia regiment. However, the
support brigades did not como up, and
Wright was driven out before the day
closed. Tho severe fighting of tho regi
ment was confined to this ono charge,
which was very brief, but it suffered
the loss of 41 killed and 148 wounded.
During the charge, when the regi
ment was driving tho enemy, tho color
bearer was shot down and the flag fell
to tho ground. It was immediately
snatched up by Adjutant Alexander,
who bore it at tho head of the regiment
triumphantly into tho Federal battery
in front in spite of a severe wound in
his right arm. Tho enemy made a tar
get of him, and his clothing was pierced
by eight bullets.
On the march back through northern
Virginia after tho battlo of Gettysburg
tho Third, now reduced to about 200
men, was engaged in the stubborn ad
vanco of Manassas Gap, whero an at
tempt was made to cut Lee's columns
in two. In that action tho Third had
the post of honor upon tho mountain
top, and, although flanked, held its po
sition bravely In this action 14 men
were killed aud 45 wounded. In the
battles of tho Wilderness campaign tho
losses in Confederate regiments are no
guide to tho severity of the fight.
The Third fought in the Wilderness
and at Spottsylvania. On tho 14th of
May it participated in a charge upon
Grant's breastworks at Spottsylvania,
and in a short fight of 20 minutes lost
78 killed and wounded. The division in
which the Third Georgia served at that
time, formerly under General R. H.
Anderson, was led by General William
Mahone. The annals of tho regiment

Mahono's division it charged upon tho
Federal lines around tho Crater and
met with a heavy loss. Its casualties iu
the siego of Petersburg up to that date
were lbi killed and wounded, m re
viewing tho career of tho regiment up
to that time the historian says that not
a field officer who ever commanded the
regiment in action escaped the enemy's
bullets. Ono company had lost 101 men
killed and wounded aud another 94.

When a man who
has neglected
his health finally
realizes that he
is being attacked
by serious ill
health it is no
time for half
way measures.
Death is an
enemy that
must be
knocked out
in the first
round, or he
is pretty sure
to conquer in
the end.
A weak
stomach, an
impaired di-
eestiou and a disordered liver
mean that a man is fighting the first round
with death. Unless he manages to strike
the knock-out blow, it means that death
will come up in the second round in the
guise of some, serious malady. When a
man's stomach is weak and his digestion
is impaired, the life-giving elements of the
food he takes are not assimilated into the
blood. The blood gets thin and weak, and
the body slowly starves. In the meantime
the disordered liver and the sluggish bow
els have forced into the blood all manner
of impurities. The body is hungry and
eagerly consumes anything that the blood
stream carries to it. In place cf healthy
nutriment, it receives for food foul poisons
that should have been excreted by the
bowels. Continued, this s3-stem of starva
tion combined with poisoning, will wreck
every organ in the body. Naturally, the
weakest organ will give way first.- If a
man is naturally nervous, he will break
down with nervous exhaustion or prostra
tion. If he inherits weak lungs, the con
sequence will be consumption. bronchitis,
asthma, or some disease of the air-passages.
If he has a naturally sluggish liver, he will
suffer from a serious bilious or malarial at
tack. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery cures all disorders of the stomach, di
gestion and liver. It purifies the blood and
fills it with the life-giving elements of the
food that build new and healthy tissue. It
is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder
and nerve tonic. It cures qS per cent, of
all cases of consumption. Thousands have
testified to their recovery from this dread
disease under this great medicine.
Dr. Pierce's Pellets cure constipation.
