shte country.
Mr, Terrell Declines to Run.
In a card to the public, Hon. J. M. Ter-
! roll announces today his purj>ose to re- ’
main out of the gubernatorial race, and
says he will again be a candidate for at- 1
torney general, which position he has )
filled with great credit for the past sev- j
eral years.
Mr. Terrell is very frank with the pub- '
lie in announcing bls decision in this ’
matter, and his oard will make for him I
many new friends. He makes no attempt {
to conceal the fact that newspaper articles
connecting his own probable candidacy I
with Governor Atkinson’s alleged sena
torial aspirations have put him in an j
awkward position and so handicapped him I
a« to make bls election improbable. This i
is a high tribute to Governor Atkinson’s -
baneful influence in Georgia politics; and I
yet it shows that Mr. Terrell has a whole j
lot of horse sense.
Mr. Terrell’s card also makes it quite
char that he has properly sized up the
dimensions of -the Candler boom—and he
would rather live to fight another day. In
other words, he foresees Candler’s inevi
table election, and he considers an attor
ney gcnerabfhip In hand worth more than
a governorship in the bush.
We heartily commend Mr. Terrell for
hi ; discretion and applaud him for the
inunJy stand he has taken. We believe he
has- raised himself in the estimation of the
\otcrs of the state, and we are quite sure
they will take pleasure In retaining him
in hi- present position—perhaps In doing
more for birn later on. He Is a young man
nd i in afford to wait, and if he displays
m much good sense and judgment Ln the
future as he has displayed In .this in
s’ nee, he will not have long to wait.
Mr. Terrell s refusal to enter the
gubernatorial race does not neees
i fly mean that (Ml*. Candler is
going to have a walk-over. There
re other gubernatorial aspirants, the most,
prominent of whom Is Mr. dußlgnon. This
so ntj< m an has announced to his friends
tti.'it he will not reach a decision In the
matter until sometime In February or
March, but the action of Mr. Terrell may
i-ause him to come to an earlier conclu
sion. It is generally believed that he does
not want to remain out of the race if he
can possibly avoid it.
In the meantime the Candler boom
grows with each day, and present indica
tions make ft almost certain that he will
be the next governor of Georgia.
How is This for Highhanded Monopoly?
A local story in today’s News forcibly
' mpha.sizes recent editorials which have
appeared in this paper demanding a bet
ter electric light and power service for
this city.
It Is shown that a new enterprise, about
to begin business in Macon, is unable to
secure either lights or power, because of
the inadequate service furnished by the
.Macon Gas Light -and Water Company,
and yet is not allowed to secure this ser
vice from a private plant, because of the
company’s franchise.
We submit .that this is a pretty state of
affairs for a city of Macon’s size. Indeed,
it is almost beyond belief that a city of
forty-odd thousand people must submit to
the absolute dictation of a -concern that
admits its inability to furnish the service
i equirid of it.
By every line of reasoning this company
has forfeited its franchise, and the city
council should now not only invite another
•on ;xmy to enter the field, but should ac
tually encourage such an undertaking. It
is both unreasonable and unjust to allow
the present company to monopolize this
field when It is made apparent that it can
not properly fill the same.
The people of Macon have a right to ex
pect a satisfactory service from any con
cern that operates under such a franchise
the Macon Gas Light and Water Com
pany now holds, and we believe there is
redress, either from the company or from
>"■ city itself, for those who are denied
this service.
Something should be and must be done
at once. Either the present cornnginy must
sell its plant to those who can and will
give the city adequate service, or else
■oum'il should declare its franchise for
feited and grant one to a new company.
The interests of individual citizens and of
the city at large demand it.
General Robert E. Lee.
As usual, the birthday of General Robert
E. Lee will be appropriately celebrated in
Macon and throughout the South tomor
row. It is natural and proper that on this
> ■■ i.m all Southern people should recall
Hie glorious deeds of this greatest of
Xmcriian soldiers and rejoice over the
heritage that he has left his beloved peo
ple.
No name In history shines with greater
lustre than that of Lee. Ills was an ad
mirable character, from whatever stand
point we view it. In him all the elements
of greatness and goodness were happily
combined.
In all the bitterness growing out of the
great struggle in which Lee played such
an important part, few have been so un
just or so malignant as to refuse to honor
the name of Lee and to give him a place
n history second to no living American.
Only recently a Northern man. Dr. An
drews, of Brown University, addressing a
Northern audience, took occasion to pay a
iusi tribute to the memory of this illus
trious Southerner. A recent editorial in
the Kansas City Times, commenting on
Hy. \ndrews’ tribute to Lee, is doubly in
ter, sting on this occasion. The Times
says:
"No more remarkable and significant
speech has attracted public attention since
the close of the war, thirty-three years
<o. than was the one made by Dr. An-
In ws in Chicago. Remarkable, because
it was made by a Federal soldier, and
significant, because it shows that passions
and prejudices between North and South,
so long kept alive by two penny politi
cians. have completely died out, and that
the truth may now be told.
It took a soldier, with a soldier’s ardor,
to do an opponent justice, and required
the courage of strong convictions to tell
the truth. Time has laid its mellowing
finger upon prejudice and now history
may be safely written. In that history,
high above all the immortals of that un
happy struggle, will ever stand that Chris
tian soldier and patriot, Robert E. Lee.
No name in American history, nor in the
■annals' of time will shine brighter than
his. In military records no name can
ever be suggested in comparison, except
Caesar. Napoleon and Wellington, and he
was greater than these. Indeed, it is not
too much to say that in military genius
his place is secure above that of any
name in history.
“It is no disparagement of the
great commanders who hurled the im
mense columns of the North upon *his
thin, gray line' for four long years to say
that he was superior to every foe. But
we do not now intend to enter upon the
history of that struggle. It is over and its
biitterness well nigh forgotten. While its
history is all covered over with tears, re
grets and heartaches, yet Its lessons of
pariotic devotion, manly endurance and
sublime courage on both sides, endures as
the richest heritage to all the people, both
North and South.”
Self Protection.
The city of St. Louis, like the city of
Macon, has been greatly troubled with
foot-pads recently, but the former city
bids fair to rid itself of these lawless
characters, through the thoughtfulness of
one of its citizens, who pumped one of his
assailants full of cold lead a few night s
ago.
The shooting to death of one foot-pad
has already had the effect of diminishing
that class of crime in St. Louis, and it
would probably be found quite as effective
elsewhere. We are not bloodthirsty, nor
•io we desire to see any citizen stain his
hands with h’uman blood, but self-protec
tion demands that our people take no
chances. It is deplorable that citizens of
Macon should be obliged to go armed or
to sacrifice human life to protect them
selves and their property, but we cannot
fail to foresee the wholesome effect of one
such surprise party on the foot-pads of
this city,
• The police are, we admit, doing all in
' their power, considering the limited force,
1 to rid the city of suspicious characters,
and have already sent thirty or forty
I tramps and vagrants to the gang, but the
: residence portion of the city is still with
out sufficient police protection.
One such wholesome example as that
furnished in St. Louis, however, would be
quite as effective as if a policeman were
stationed on every block.
Movement of the Navy.
While excitement concerning Cuba has
abated considerably during tne past few
weeks, there is never any telling what a
day will bring forth, and considerable in
terest attaches, therefore, to the move
ments of Uncle Sam’s navy just at this ■
time.
While there Is no effort at a naval j
demons^nation around Cuba, yet the i
presence of so many vessels in Southern ,
waters cannot fail to convince Spain of I
this government’s ability to promptly and
effectively take action in Cuban affairs
should the occasion require. Although
there is no expectation of any trouble just
now, still In case It should occur the navy
is more strongly represented in Florida 1
and West Indian wafers than it has been j
in the past ten years. At K< y West there I
is the second-class battleship Maine, at
Jacksonville the dynamite cruiser Vesu
vius, at St. Kitts is the Annapolis, and at
Guadeloupe the Wilmington. The Detroit
recently sailed from Cape Haytien to Key
West, where she is now. The Marblehead
is at Port Tampa, Fla.
This naval force was made up with one
exception, the Maine, of unarmored but
lightly protected cruisers and gunboats.
But It has recently .been re-enforced by
the North Atlantic squadron, under Ad
miral S’mard, composed of heavily armor
ed vessels, the most powerful fleet that
the United States has had together in
many yrars. The vessels of the squadron
are now distributed as follows: The flag
ship New York, and battleships lowa and
Indiana tn Hampton Roads; the battle
ships Massachusetts and Texas at New
York. The former were to sail on Satur
day last for Florida waters, while the last
two are .to leave New York next, Saturday
and Sunday respectively, falling in with
and Joining the squadron on the Southern
drill grounds, off the Chesapeake capes.

A Thomasville Man Commits
Suicide to Escape the
Curse.
Thomasville, Ga., Jan. 17—Captain John
L. Finn, one of the wealthiest and most
prominent business men in this city, com
mittal suicide yesterday morning by shoot
ing himself twice through the breast. He
died instantly. He loft no message and
gave no intimation of his purpose to take
his life.
The rash deed, which was a severe shock
to the entire dty, <was committed about
8 o’clock yesterday morning in his bed
room. When Captain Finn arose yester
day morning his wife asked him what he
would like for breakfast. He told her, and
requested that she prepare it herself. She
went down stairs, and a few minutes later
two shots of a pistol were heard. Mr. J.
F. Clifton, a brother-in-law of the de
ceased, who lives in the same house, rush
ed to Captain Finn’s bedroom, and open
ing the door, saw him lying on the floor
with blood gushing from his mouth and
nostrils. He telephoned for a physician,
but the unfortunate man was already
dead. There were two bullet holes just
above the left nipple, either one of which
would have produced death. He was lying
on the floor between the two beds, and
near him was his revolver, two chambers
empty, and still warm.
The coroner held an inquest, and the
verdict of the jury -was that tbe deceased
came to his death by his own bands.
Captain Finn was one of the largest real
estate owners in this city, and also owned
valuable property in Atlanta. His busi
ness affairs are all in good shape. For
many years he has been a hard drinker,
and though he has made repeated efforts
to rid himself of the habit, he was unable
to do so It. is the prevailing opinion that
he became desperate brooding over his
great weakness, and decided to end it all
by taking ihis life. The funeral will occur
today.

new Tactics
Are Now Being Used By the
Soldiers of the Second
Regiment.
The new tactics which have recently
been sent to the Georgia volunteers for
their use will be put into effect at one ■
and the men will be instructed in them
as soon as the company drills are com
menced.
The manual of arms is made for the
Krag-Jorgenson rifle, but is adapted to the
use of the Springfield rifle, with which the
militia is now equipped.
The Krag-Jorgenson rifle is a repeating
gun and carries cartridges. At one side
is a projection for the purpose of throw
ing out the used shell a.nd driving the new
one in the barrel of the gun. This pro
jection will not allow the movement of
“carry arms.” This has accordingly' been
omitted from the revision for the Spring
field rifles. For the same reason it will
not allow “right shoulder" to be executed
in the same way. and this has been chang
ed and made very much like the “left
shoulder arms.” the gun being carried
with the barrel uppermost.
The revision allows “present” arms to
be executed from an “order” arms, or a
“right shoulder” arms. Loading and firing
will also be changed and many minor
details of the execution of the manual of
arms will be differently done from the old
way.
Instaed of making “fix bayonets” and
bringing the gun on the left side of the
body, it will be made from an “order.”
The change in the tactics was made by a
special board of army officers appointed
for the work, in order that the national
guard of the country will more nearly
conform with the regular army.
Many changes have been made in the
tactics during recent years. The first were
an adaptation from those used by the
French nation, after which the Hardee
system was used. Upton was the adopted
and after changes upon these the present
ones will make a further innovation for
the troops.

The Ex-President Will Address the Georgia
Bar Association.
Ex-President Benjamin Harrison will
address the Georgia State Bar Association
this summer at the annual session of the
lawyers.
The executive committee of the associa
tion met on Saturday morning in the state
library and transacted some very impor
tant business, among which was the send
ing of the invitation to Mr. Harrison ask
ing that he honor the association by de
livering the annual address this year
The committee, which is composed of
Hon. Walter B. Hill, of Macon; Hon.
James Blount, of Macon; Hon. T. J. Chap
pell, of Columbus: Mr. Z. D. Harrison and
Mr Morris Brandon, of Atlanta, met at
the request of the chairman of the com
mittee. The meeting, which lasted two
hours, was the first held 'this year.
It was the unanimous decision of the
committee that the next session be held at
Cumberland Island on June 29th and "'"s
The session last year was held at Warm
Springs.
In addition to the routine business of
the session and the reading of the reports
from the offeers, a number of interesting
questions will be discussed by the lawyers.
Among these questions the following have
been selected:
“Should municipalities be empowered
by amending the state constitution to re
lieve manufactories of municipal taxes?”
“Should the judges be elected by the
people?”
“Should the trial judges have the right
to express opinions to juries relative to
questions of fact?”
These questions have caused a great deal
of discussion and are of vital importance
to the legal fraternity and the debate will
prove one of the most interesting ever
conducted by the bar association.
