A brief war, like that with Spain, brings into view the chances L.r dis tinguished services and fame which depend "upon opportunity. In a pro longed war the chances are multi plied in number, all who are engaged in the conflict may have their oppor tunity at one time or another, but in a short war with only a tenth of the forces called out engaged in action there can be only a few heroes. It does not detract in the least from the honors won by the soldiers who served in Cuba or the sailors who destroyed the Spanish fleets to say that there were other soldiers or sailors who would have done the same had they been given the oppor tunity. The men who were called into action and who distinguished themselves by their skill and gallan try fairly earned the honors now heaped upon them. Hobson made his opportunity, but the gallant men who formed the little crew of the Merrimac represented only as many hundreds who volunteered for the service. The regiments that stormed El Caney and San Juan were given an opportunity denied to equally gallant men held in camp for other duties, but they are entitled to honor because when the opportunity came to them they were ready to embrace it and did not shrink from the dan gerous service. In civil life honors are distributed in much the same wav, though the circumstances which give one man prominence and condemn another to obscurity are not always so plainly shown. Opportunity is an impor-1 tant but not the only factor in deter mining a man's career. Two men equal in all other respects lead different- lives because opportunity comes to one, but is denied the other. This is the main feature of what is called chance or luck. A clerk in a business house is advanced rapidly until he becomes a member of the firm partly because of his merits, but mainly because the way of pro motion is opened before him by such changes as occur through deaths ofr other forcible removals of those above him. Another clerk no less capable and deserving will serve for yearns without auy opportunity for his ad vancement presenting itself, and when the opportunity comes at last he may be considered too old for the service required. These chances can not be controlled, because the future cannot be foreseen. Sometimes a change of situation is made because of the promise of advancement and is no sooner effected than the oppor tunity presents itself in the old place. IJut the one thing that all can do is to be ready for the opportunity whenever it may come. There is no luck about this readiness. Even Hobson, though he made his oppor tunity, had fitted himself for the task. He laid the foundations for his ex ploit when he was a student at the Naval Academy, and during long years of study afterwards. It is true that if he had been on bureau duty during the war he might never have been heard of by the general public; but it is also true that if he had not been a close student, able to plan and to execute, he would have remain ed unknown. Opportunity alone does not make great or successful men, but to make use of opportunity there must be fitness for the task to be accomplished. It is this fitness which the individual may provide, and am bitious young men should give their attention to it instead of vainly hop ing for opportunities which they might not be able to use to advant age should they come. The human heart is six inches in length, four inches in diameter and beat's on an average of seventy times per minute, 4.200 times an hour, 100, S00 times a day and 30,79:2,000 in the course of a year. So that the heart of an ordinary man eighty years old has beaten 3,000,000,000 times. A Sure Sikii of Croup. Hoarseness in a child that is subject to croup is a sure indication of the ap proaeh of the disease. If Chamberlain s Coii-di Itemed v is ii'iven as soon as the j child becomes hoarse, or even after the cronpv coush has appeared, it win pie vent the attack. Many mothers who have croupy children always keep this remedy at hand and find that it saves them niueh trouble and worry. It can always be depended upon, and is pleas ant to take. For sale by M. E.

Thirty years is the average life of a generation. Within that time there is almost an entire change in the population of a town or city or com munity. Death pluys the surest hand. Removals come next, and of the rest the children have grown to be men and women, and they are as good as new, for we old people know them not, neither do they know us. Often do young people say to me, "Why, I am a grandchild of your old friend." Yes, a friend who has perhaps been dead for a score of years, and I had almost forgotten that he ever lived. I lived in Rome twenty-seven years, but now I am a stranger in that city. I was rumi nating about this because I happened to ask Major Foute yesterday" how many of his comrades he remember ed. He shook his empty sleeve and pondered. "Thirty-five years ago," he said, "I could call the roll of a hundred men in my company, but now I do not believe I could name over twenty without a strain of mind and memory. Most all of them are dead, and you know that when a man, a common man, dies he seems to drop out of thought or recollec tion. Only great men or notable men or heroes are remembered long. " How, then, is a catalogue or list or roster of our confederate soldiers to be obtained. The legislature passed a law providing that the ordinaries of each county should make a list for his county and get information from any source possible, and I suppose they are doing this, but of course it will be imperfect and incomplete. Colonel Avery exhausted all sources at his command in 1SS0 and tabu lated only the officers. Of this list, he says: "It is admittedly incom plete and painfully imperfect." A generation changes in thirty years, but our regiments and com panies changed so radically in four years that they can hardly be identifi ed even by their surviving comrades. I find in Colonel Avery's table that company A, First Georgia regulars, that went into service commanded by Captain II. T). D. Twiggs, had twelve captains. Almost every com pany had two or mote. The Four teenth regiment had four colonels, five lieutenant colonels, four majors and twenty captains. The Twenty second regiment hal twenty-four captains; the Twenty-sixth had t wenty-sevim captains; the Eighth cavalry had thirty -one, and the Nii.th had thirty six. Of course the pri vates suffered more frequent changes than the officers and the men are few who went in at the beginning of the ; war and came out at its close. Hut even those few cannot remember all the changes-the killed in buttle, the dead from other causes, the dis- charged, the transfers to other com- : panics and the recruits that continu- ally came to fill up the ranks. Then there were some few deserters and ; thousands of prisoners taken, many of whom died in prison and were for gotten by their comrades. Georgia sent to the field sixty-six regiments and twenty-five battalions of infan try, eleven regiments and thirty battalions of cavalry and twenty eight battalions of artillery. Of all those who server! as volunteers dur ing the first two years it is estimated that not over 20 per cent are living. Only fi'e regiments brought back the same colonels they took out. No; the lists are lost and will never be made complete, but much can yet be done to approximate them, and it should be done quickly and put in book or pamphlet form and distri buted. I was ruminating about this ! because that great-hearted woman, Mrs. Elizabeth Gabbett, of Atlanta, the widow of a confederate who fell in battle, has volunteered to execute the resolution of the United Daugh ters of the Confederacy to present badges or crosses of honor to the veterans or their widows or families, and this good woman is now per plexed to find them. Well she may be. Hardly a week passes that I do not receive letters from Georgia sol diers or their widows written from the western states and wanting to know about our pension laws. Even their kindred here in Georgia do not know where they are, for they keep moving and leave no sign behind. Rut Mrs. Gabbett must not be dis couraged, for there are a few thous and within her reach and her work will be grateful to them. Then let us be up and doing before it is too late. Let the veterans con sider it and take action that will re sult in systematic methods. The time will come, in fact it has already come, when the child will feel proud that its father or grandfather or un cle, was a confederate soldier. As the years roll on the halo grows brighter. It is like the revolution of 17TC. We have preserved in our family a Boston newspaper of that year. It is in mourning, and across the top are little cuts of coffins seventeen black coffins, with the names under them of those who fell at Lexington. My great-grandfath- er's name is there, and lam proud I of it, and we veterans believe that the cause for wh ch we foucht was just as holy as that. This is our faith. And now I am pleased to see that my friend Dr. Catching, of Atlanta, has been inspired to write a book of confederate memories not his own memories, but those of other people veterans and their wives or widows. It is not to be the lamentations of Jeremiah, but an entertaining and instructive compendium of how we lived and got along during the latter part of the war, when the blockade was on us, and we had eaten up and worn out everything in all this southern land. lie wants every body who was in the war and has a story to tell that is funny or fantastic or mixed, to write it down and send it to him to be put in the book. My wife says she went through enough to make a book of her own, and our good neighbor, Mrs. Akin, has long since told us enough to make two or three books. Iuf of course they must make selections ana mix up smiles with tears. Such a book would be a treasure in the family and would keep the children quiet of a winter night, as grandpa or grand ma read to them these stories of the war. I tell you my roung friends of this generation, you don't know anything about the poverty of our people in 1S(U and lSb.". It was just awful to experience, and it was sublime to witness the heroism with which our wives and mothers and sisters en dured it. It makes me smile now to recall the shabby genteel that hung around female garments and chil dren's clothes and cracked-up table ware and patched carpets. Why, there wasent a circus nor a monkey show nor a pound of sure enough coffee nor a lump of sugar nor a stick of candy nor any store clothes in all the confederacy; no, not even a dose of castor oil to foilow up the green apples that the boys had over-loaded their stomachs with. Talk about vour tan shoes! Whv, we dident have any other sort. Old Father Jenks made shoes for my boys and for my wife, too, out of calf skins that had been tanned in a tub, and the calf's hair was sticking out in patches, but they were good, if not pretty. I never see a pair of red shoes now but thev remind me of the war, and of poverty. I wouldent wear them I made a boat in Januarj', 18u7, that dident have a nail in it, for ther were no nails. I bored holes with brace and bit and pegged it together with wooden pins, and it never leak ed a drop. DeFoe wrote Robinson Crusoe, and f)r. Goulding wrote the Young Marooncrs, and they are ex cellent books, but authors had to slr.lin their minds to make fiction reat uke fac.tS- T5ut i)r Catching won-t have to strain anything to makt? facts n-ud like fiction. So let us an sen( him a sketch from our own experience and I have no doubt he win give us a delightful book. It is to be a iahor of jove with him for s:1Vs he has no idea tliat there is any money in it. He has contem plated such a book for a long time, and his heart is set out on it. Not long ago Dr. Joe Jacobs gave us a most delightful sketch about how the doctors and druggists had to find substitutes for medicine during those blockade days when a pound of opium sold for .", (100 in confederate money. Hi i.i. A ni. From a Candidate's Notebook. (After his Election.) I promised everybody an office when I got in, but I've wound up by only getting one myself. I was elected by a majority of three. My majority would have been greater, but I ran short of cash. There isn't much in holding office, after all. The salary is$l,0) a year, but it cost $2,000 to get within reach of it. The man who preceded me in office was a shabby fellow. He took all the funds with him wheiv he re signed. A dozen voters called on me to day, by appointment. I was indis posed, and sent word that I didn't wish to be annoyed by them. I promised my constituents that I would reform the laws of the State, but I drank so much "moonshine" during the campaign that I'll have to hunt up a law that'll reform me The St. Louis Star states that the idea that Uncle Sam is at present land poor is a mistaken one, for he still possesses sufficient territory to give each one of his 73,000,000 chil dren a homestead of eight acres.

For attempting a criminal assault upon Mrs. Stridler, wife of a mer chant at Jones' Switch, Ala., John Williams, colored, was lynched Fri day night while being taken to the Prattville jail. It is understood President Mc Kinley will recommend to Congress that the civil service rules be amend ed so that preference be given to the soldiers who served in the war with Spain as well as to civil war vete rans. In Richmond, Va., Friday after noon, the buggy in which Rev. Dr. Moses D. Hoge was out driving, came in collision with a street car. Dr. Hoge was knocked out and dragged ten feet and severely in jured. The Clyde Line steamer Croatan, bound from New York to Wilming ton, N. C, was burned and sunk off Cape Charles Tuesday night.

There has not been a case of yel low fever in Santiago for sixty days. Sickness prevails to an alarming degVee among the American troops at Cavite. Sfianish soldiers who leave Cuba for home are given due bills for their back pay. The Philippine insurgents are ad vancing on iiouo ana me opaniarus are retiring before them. Aguinaldo has issued a proclama tion threatening to brand as outlaws Filipinos who disobey his orders. The French government announces that it has resolved not to maintain the Marchand mission at Fashoda. Spanish soldiers will be put to work in the mines near Santiago, Cubans having refused the vacant places. Work is difficult to get in Havana, owing to the business uncertainty, and there is much suffering among the poor. Ninety-eijjht deaths occurred on the voyage of the steamer Montser rat, which has arrived at Cadiz with troops from Cuba. The Spanish peace commissioners have refused the American demand for the surrender of all the Philip pines, but the negotiations were not broken off. Last Week in Trade Circles. Special Correspondence. New York, Nov. 7, lSyS. Business conditions during the past week have not greatly changed. The approach of the fall elections has had some influence in causing hesitancy in new business, and a lit tle slackening of activity has been observable in some departments of wholesale trade, which is a customa ry development at this stage of the fall season. More favorable weather in the West and the removal of fe ver quarantines in the South have favored the distribution of seasona ble products in those sections. Measured by bank clearings the vol ume of general business is excep tionally heavy for the time of year. Railroad returns also indicate an ac tive condition of trade, although the gains in earnings are not so uniform and conspicuous as they were a while ago. Exports of merchandise continue large, and imports are mod erate. Activity in foreign trade is conspicuous in breaustuns and cot ton; but there has been also a nota ble increase in foreign purchases of cotton goods, iron and steel and other mauufactures. Complaints on the score of narrow profits are quite general, but there are few with re gard to the demand for merchandise, except in some branches of the tex tile trade. Business failures dur ing the past week according to R. G. Dun & Co., numbered 194 in the United States and 28 in Canada, against 27C in this country and 30 in Canada during the corresponding week last year. Cotton prices have declined 1-1(1 of a cent, and have reached the low record rate touched a few weeks ago. The weakness in the market lies been due to a fractional decline in Liverpool prices, increased crop es timates, favorable weather and a very heavy movement of supplies to the ports. Against this array of bearish influence there has been no strong factor at work other than the low price which has tended to discourage operations in the hope of profit on the "short" side of the market. Exports of cotton have continued liberal, but demand from domestic spinners has been mode rate. There has been continued ac tivity In the export trade in brown sheetings and drills; and leading makes are so well sold in advance of production that makers are gener ally unwilling to accept Turther bu siness except at J of a cent advance in prices. Home trade in staple cottons has been moderate in vol ume, and in other lines than those affected by the foreign demand there has been some irregularity and weak ness in prices. The export sales of cottons have been largely for China, although considerable quantities have been sold for shipment to Af rica and the East Indies. The de mand for wool has been more liberal. Wheat prices have fluctuated con siderably within narrow limits, and for the week the net result has been a decline of about 1 of a cent per bushel. The apparent lack of strength in the markets is due large ly to the subsidence of the Anglo French war scare, which for a time stimulated speculative activity at home and abroad. Other factors in restraint of improvement in the price situation have beeu the com paratively free offerings of wheat from the Northwest, the continued upward tendency of the ocean freight market and a partial check to pre vious activity in the export trade. The liberal movement of supplies from lake ports has been due to the desire of shippers to get the benefit of water route rates before the close of inland navigation. There has been a good inquiry for wheat for exjtort to the United Kingdom, and a moderate demand from other parts of Europe; but the orders have not been so numerous nor so urgent as they were in some previous weeks, and business has been necessarily handicapped to some extent by the facts that freight room in regular line steamers is practically engaged ahead for the balance of the year, and that full cargo tonnage is held considerably above the highest rates obtained last year. The statistical and crop conditions have not mate rially changed. Offerings of wheat from Russia and Roumania have continued light, and there have been reports of damage to wheat by drought in Australia and also re ports of a reduction in Italian im port duties, which have had some in fluence on trade sentiment. Corn prices also show a small frac tional decline for the week, although any decided weakness has been pre vented bj' reports of injury to the crop from excessive moisture, the effect of which will be to delay the marketing of the new grain as well as to reduce the percentage of mer chantable stock. There has been a continued good foreign demand for ! corn, which has come cnietly from the Northern Continental markets of'Eurooe. The interior movement of corn has been less liberal. Chi cago prices have advanced 22 cents per barrel on pork, and 5 to 17 cents per 100 pounds respectively on ribs and lard, owing to good spec ulative support. ALL OVER THE STATE. A Su miliary of I'Hrrent Events for the Tast Seven Days. According to the Blade, Carthage is soon to have a bank. Local capi talists are the principal stockholders. Col. Cowles has asked that the mustering out of the Second Regi ment be postponed so that the order may be reconsidered. He says he will fight the matter to the end.
