Our genuinely esteemed contemporary. The Macon News, seems to taka unkindly a recent new* story which came to The Georgian and was printed upon tho authority of a Macon man from whom our reporter re ceived bla Information. These were the paragraphs In the reporter’s story at which our Ma con neighbor lakes offense: "It Is rumored that Macon will hold Its own fair ne*t fall and will call U tbs Oeorglg State Fair.' regardless of the suppos ed rights of tho Agricultural Society. That city paid off 10 per cent of the last fair’s Indebtedness and proposes to give a ear- nival this spring to pay oft tho remaining »0 per coni. "The attitude of the Macon ettiaens toward the Agricultural Society Is perhaps sat forth In an aditorlal which appeared In a Macon paper some time ago and which follows: " ‘The people here have been and are still unwilling to pay a lot of salaries for the oOclala of the Agricultural Society and oth er fancy expenses not included actually In presenting a splendid cshlb!!.' “ We trust It Is unnecessary for ns to say that The Georgian would not willingly mlsrepreeent In any way the slater city of whose enter prise and prosperity Atlanta la so genuinely proud, and whose previous Industrial expositions all the Atlanta papers have bean so prompt to approve and extol. We cannot, however, better llluxtrate our xplrlt toward Macon and tta exposition* than to allow Tha Newt Jfi_Jte own way to correct the atory which was printed In our local columns. Says The News: "The debts of the Macon Fair Association are In a good way to bo paid In the near future and already four-flfths of the amount neceaaary baa been subecribed and the other fifth Is In sight. This money has been given by the business people of this city, who took the position that these debts were debts of honor and could not be slighted or com promised In any way. There were offers of compromises from some creditor* of the (air asso ciation.-but the directors refused to pay lass than dollar for dol lar'and in the next week or ten daye the money, payment In full, will be mailed each and every man who holds a claim against the association. ' There will be no street carnival or any other similar meth od of raising the money. It le coming right out of the pockets ot the business men of the city where It should come from. "The Macon fair of last fall was a most dismal failure on ac count of the street car strike and the consequent disorders.• The reports sent out concerning these occurrences were of a most ex aggerated character and frightened off the people, who always at tend Macon fairs. The News has heard that Atlanta'a was not as successful as In former years because of the riota there during - the early fall. Atlanta was more fortunate than Macon In that her disorders bad time to tubelde before the date of the fair, while Macon waa almost In the mldtt of here whan the opening day for the fair came. “In reference to what Macon la thinking of doing In the fair line next fall xomebody muat have supplied The Georgian with misinformation. Macon has not even considered a fair for next fall. The only thing in connection with a fair that baa interest ed this city at all Is the payment of the debts of the last one. This will be accomplished shortly and than by reading Tha News The Georgian will And out what Macon is going to do nett fall." It ta always a pleasure to applaud a municipal spirit so manly and Independent as Macon has shown In winding up tha affairs of the last ex position held there, and we congratulate Its people upon tha fine record - wtiti li ilii-v Have slwsrs maintain*!! toward their pabtlo debts of every kind. " ~ There are few cities In the South more solid and substantial In every business line than Macon, and whenever Macon captorea a state fair It la a guarantee to the state that It will be a good one, and worthy of the heartiest patronage by the people. We are glad to know that Atlanta will not be placed tn competition with Its vigorous little slater In (he next xtate fair. • JUSTICE—EVEN TO "0B0E8U8.” On the day following the announcement of Mr. Rockefeller's gift of 932.000,000 to the general educational board, an aditorlal paragraph In The Georgian represented the Standard Oil magnate as giving hla mil lions with one hand, whllo with the other ho raised the price of oil one cent s gallon In order to reimburse trtmsetf tn a single week from tho pockets of the people. « In tho same Issue of The Georgian there waa printed a latter to the editor from Mr. Richard H.'Edmtmde, of The Manufacturers' Record, tak ing strong ground against tbe acceptance of Mr. Rockefeller's "tainted money" on the ground that It Imperiled the freedom and dlgntly of the schools of the South. Rut Mr. Edmunds vindicates hid own sense of fairness by pointing out to the public that the increase In oil touched by our paragraph was -tu esinUi all—and, waa In lb> Jntcreftaof the producer and not of the Standard Oil Company which does not profit but rattier suffers by the ad vance. The Georgian wishes to be Just a* fair as Tbs Manufacturers' Record and we would no more stoop to misrepresenting Mr. Rockefeller with hit millions than we would do injustice to a mechanic or a farmer In a South ern field or factory. - The advance In crude oil, says The Record, la of necessity a disad vantage to the Standard Oil Company. That concern le a large buyer of crude nil. and every cent advance means s heavier outlay by the com- l»ny In tho purchase of raw material necessary (Or use In Its refineries. The advance la doubtless due to the fact that tbe supply ot crude oil la leas than the consumptive requirements, and that, therefore, tbs Stand ard la bidding higher In order to secure the crude oil, of which tt Is only to a limited extent a producer. A very large proportion of the bitter crit icisms against Mr. Rockefeller and against the Standard Oil Company Is based on this fundamentally wrong view that an advance In crude oil, which Is front time to time reimrted In the dally papers, Is to the benefit of the Standard or of any oiber of the refining aompanles. That advance goes to the producer, and (here are a good many thousands of people Interacted In the producing of oil and tbe ownership of oil wells who are rejoicing that they are able to force the Standard company to bid n higher price by virtue ot Die increasing demand for oil. It Is always a pleasure to correct sn error or to redeem an Injustice by a fair statement, and we are glad ourselves to know that ono of the most frequent points upon which Mr. Rockefeller Is assailed* Is not a tenable one, and that his misfortunes In some cases are magnified Into faults. Even Nabobs and Billionaires are entitled to Justice. Blalock made an addracs which swept that body to almost unprecedented enthusiasm and bore beautiful fruit tn the Improved conditions of a hun dred Georgia homes. Burely no service to Georgia and to lta people, to Its hearts and to 1U hearthstones, is richer and more profitable than this, and when lov ing friends at Bameaville shall lay on Wednesday tha mortal remains ot Miss Anna Blalock beneath the soil which ahe has touched to beauty and to Inspiration, the good people of her own community should rant assured that the good people of Georgia reeoghUe the noble service which ahe has dons to her state and to her times,and may these poor words help to bear to those who lore bar tho tender maaaaga that this good woman baa not lived In vain.

I waa once a local optlonlat. but local option has been largely nullified by Hie Jug traffic. Prohibition communi ties seem practically powerleaa to pro tect themselves against barrooms In counties where local option haa not been strong enough to drive them out. We want aomethlng better. If local option could ba made to "work both ways." tt would be more satisfactory. If the “local option" th.it permits the sale of whisky would oe content to remain in Its own terri tory nnd let alone the "local option" tInti Is exercised against whisky there would be good reason for continuing it. Hut when the Atlanta type nf local option Invades the I’arlersvllle kind and seeks In do a liquor business In dr\ territory, the law of reciprocity as well us the law of self-preservation compels us to fight. And that Is Just whni we propose lo do. Local option has been made n farce. Every liquor denier, liquor drinker and liquor organ has mown to be a noisy and pestlfarous local opilonlst. The Georgian lias shown gilt and grace In cutting from Its columns the advertisements of these greedy and aggressive liquor dealers: theae al leged Atlanta "local optlnnlsta." who are Industriously nullifying Ihc local option of dry communities.
