His own sum i in th. . lines is the best evi dence of this - qualities, and, from a Mrlctly practical - undpoint. his election, if s< < ms to it-, would be most fortunate for f' e stall. Mr. Stev.i:-’ long public and party ser vice also entitles him to recognition. He has been a life-long D■ mocrat. ami has several times sacrificed his personal ambi tion to serve his party and preserve Its prim jibs Mr Stevens ha' also served in bo-It brtn. m s of tie- legislature several times, tu:! is thoroughly familiar with 'puidii . fft' r-. In f. '(• is, in < very way, << ( mp.d for the position to which he as pires. Ami last hut not b ast, his section of the state is cb .irly entit.lt d to recognition at the hands of the state Democracy. It has always been a Democratic "stronghold, and no man has worked more zealously to ket p it so than has O. B. Stevens. Ag.-t'ist Commissioner Nisbett The News has nothing to say: About the chargt • of mismanagement we know noth ing. but t v n were h" above reproach, he would still have no stronger claims on the place than can be urged for Mr. Stevens. The latter Is in every way his equal: and, as we believe, his superior in point of business ability and in practical knowl edge of agriculture. Mr. Stevens, as v> ■.< happ n to know be yond the shadow of a doubt, is in no polit ical combine or deal that might estrange those who would otherwise support him. He is simply "toting his own skillet," and stands on his own merits alone. Mr. Ste ve.-. l:.:s entered the race with every as- of Mtece < He has the hearty endorsement of a majority of the party leader; in tlte state. ami he will win the conf'dc'K" and votes of the people as soon as he goes ar . ng them.

Mi < Garland sho: herself with a pistol Both happened in the first admin istration. Miss Herbert's sad death was the third case. Advice For the New Year. Here 'is some advice for the mew year that hould receive the attention of every merel.ant and advertiser. It applies here in Macon as < Is, where, and it is the ver dict of an exj»ert Who 'has spent more in advertising in a year Chan is spent iby all the advertisers of Macon in three or four years. la is found in Printers Ink. and is as follows: "If you would advertise and become wealthy, spend your money with the daily jsiiper. If your money for advertising pur poses increases, put that also into the daily paper. There is not a weekly paper in existence today, aside from the class journals, that a judicious advertiser can aftorvl to use; for there are dailies enough to absorb his appropriation, and for every dollar he will Invest, the daily gives great er and bettor service than the weekly can afford." In this connection it is well to go further and state that (the largest and most successful advertisers of the country are using the bulk of their appropriation with the afternoon papers. They give a good reason for this- wthich is thait the aft moon paper reaches the buyers, by reason of the fact that it goes into the homes of the people, and is carefully read every evening when there is time and in clination for reading. And because, too. the afternoon papers, as a rule, have the largest eireulatjons. It is not out of place to state that both reasons hold good in Maeon. as elsewhere. The News guaran ti es mere readers in Maeon and suburbs t -an any ther paper. The merchant who makes « New Y< ar resolution to spend his money for advc-, rising with the daily pa per. ami the bulk of the amount with the aft: moon paper will profit by his decision during the year 1898. Today we all get a new An Independent Line. There cot: :d be no more gratifying news to .he ptople of Macon than the announce ment the Louisville and Nashville railroad .is at last, firmly and perma nentlj established its sole right to -the control of the Georgia road, -an important branch cf wh:.h enters this city and gives us an .nd.penden line to the North.

For the Lomsvtlle - I Nashville is a strong sys - V ro g " ve ' le Southern and its alned lines all (the competition bhev wan'—and more. We hope and expect to see active railroad competition in this city from now on. This, however, does not relieve the Southern Railway of responsibility for its act in .ons dilating competing lines of railroad in Georgia in direct violation of me s ate s constitution That issue must " ' •' ■ ■ :s merits, and w» be- liec. the courts will yet uphold Macon’s right to all t;he ecu Petition that tthe build ’ of he:- sev -ral lines of road promised at the ou.tse't and which the constitution of the state guaranteed her. mt "- r 'une. it is but emphasizing *'* **'• ' “of nature as well as a saga- ' Ul ' H ‘ n .‘' '' ' pr,:: iple to call attentio-n ..' e i “" lhai ’ tk '' merchants of Macon will serve rheir own interests by encour aging to their utmost any competing line that promises Ito thwart nhe monopoly that has been attempted by J.

OtberwUe the iosuurtiou will I coDt.nue to drag aiong, until, at least, its I usefulness will be entirely destroyed. I Otrnr cuies have commercial bodies of s character that are foremost in every thing that tends to benefit or develop tbe.r cities. They accomplish something be cause the people of the .ommunity show le proper interest. The people of Ma con must do likewise if taq Chamber of (»n»merce is to accomplish anything in ; the future. A great many names have been men tionde for the presidency, and k is grati- Tying to observe that the mention of one name in particular has already seemed to ! arouse interest in the organization. It is gen-rally conceded that if Mr. W. B. Sparks can be induced to accept the presidency of the Chamber of I Commerce the institution will take on new j life and make itself felt in the affairs of i the community. So far Air. Sparks has ■ oetn averse to allowing his name used in j this connection, but It is believed he could ; tc prevailed upon to serve if elected. And ; there is a 'general disposicon to thrust j the honor upon him at the meeting next I M r,day morning. Let all who favor suoh a wise arrangement be present to -see it ■ consummated. Let the few who may op pest i: be present, too —for the same pur- i ' ; The wonderful invention which has just I app ared in is said to be the ; greatest oi the century in tae science of telegraphy. "By its means," says the New Orleans Times-Democrat. “ a man may sit | ala typewriter in Chicago and write a message which will be reproduced in type written manuscript in New York, and that without the aid of an operator at the re ceiving cad of the line. The machine, which is known as the telescriptor, has been exhibited recently in Berlin, where it aroused a great deal of interest among electricians. Its successful operation seems to have solved the problem of sim ple and rapid apparatus for writing at a distance. Numerous tests have proved Its success.” Ex-Princess Cbimay is at present the Imprt ssarla of a Hungarian Gypsy band of musicians. She is now traveling through I’oland and expects to give concerts in St. Petersburg shortly. Reports say she is coining money by the trunkful in her new venture with her dusky band. Nothing is heard about Rigo being with the troupe, so it is evident that he has received the "conge” from the ex-princess. The Dalian Argus says. “The Argus argus agrees with the Macon News, when it says in regard to the recent Orth Stein sensation: » * ♦ ‘That was a true bill, if we know one when we see it. And no man can claim to have reformed, nor ob ject to having his skirts uncovered, if he makes it his life work to feed the sensa tionalists by uncovering the skirts of others. There is no mission oa earth for a paper of the Stein variety.’” The poet Keats, in 1818, made the fol lowing predii'tion: ’’Russia mav spread her conquests over to China —I think it is a very likely thing that China itself may fall. Turkey certainly will. Meanwhile European north Russia will hold its horns against the rest of Europe, intriguing con stantly with France.” "The result of the senatorial election,” declares an Ohio exchange, “all depends on the nerve of Governor Bushnell.” If this is true. Mr. Hanna will be justified in plai'ng an order for his fireworks, thinks the Washington Post, The story published by a New York pa per that a reporter, who died recently in that city at 74 years, left a large estate, will be generally looked upon as another piece of yellow journalism, thinks .the Birmingham News. AVI th bis mind on that "possum supper, and. at the same time, on the next sena torial race. Editor Blackburn exclaims: "’Possums don’t get ripe until persimmon time, but Bacon is good all the year round.” The Indian government, for financial reason.', is negotiating for the sale of its state railroads to private parties. Evi dently the single gold standard is not panning out as well as expected, thinks an exchange. One of the evils threatening the youth ful minds of the immediate future is the difficulty of mastering the world's geogra phy as it has been variously gerrymander ed, mentions the Chicago Record. It is intimated upon high authority, that the Czar of Russia is also crazy. Accord ing to Kaiser Bill he and the Czar have the same political views. Here is the Christmas record of arrests for three Georgia cities: Atlanta 305; Sa vannah 93, Macon 24. This is a complete answer to .Macon’s accusers. The Telegraph is a little late- in apolo gizing to the Albany Herlad for being called a liar, but we hope the Herald will accept its apology. Germany's leading Marie Geislinger, has resolved to give up juve nile roles, though she is only 69 years oid. "I he Jingo. From the Louisville Courier-Journal.

Ffflk I POWDER Absolutely Pure CHICAMAUGA May be the Place Where the State Troops Will Camp This Year, The indications are that all of the state troops are to be sent to camp at Chicka mauga for a week at the usual time next i summer, and that the course of duty will I be somewhat different from that at Camp I ; Northcn for several summers past. In i other words, the troops are to do regular ■ field duty from day to day. in accordance ! I with plans of the commanding officers, of ! i which the troops will be in ignorance un- I til the moment the orders are to be exe- ! cuted. this all being predicated upon the ■ supposition that the proposed plan will be I adopted. It is not unlikely that the troops will j look with favor upon such a plan, though they have had little c>pportunity of dis cussing the matter. Os recent years the military has gotten entirely rid of the idea that an emcampment means a week of fun and sport, and has discovered that it means a week of hard work, and plenty of it. Doubtless, therefore, they will be glad of the change for one season at least from Camp Northen to Chickamauga. There was one encampment held at Chick amauga, but for many who went there it was a season of gaiety, though for others of work. Should the proposed plan be adopted, the next time the boys go there they will, no doubt as a rule, meet with very different experiences. MAY RECALL ABERDEEN. London, Jan.
