Child Labor In the Mills.
Rise where in todays News appear* an
article from the pen of M. s Mary Lamar
l'aterson forcibly describing the 'horrors
of child labor in the cotoon mills of this
city. The article is, no doubt, quite as
applicable to other Southern mills, and,
therefore, it will prove of interest in every
section of the South, where that relic of
barbarism, child labor, is still tolerated.
The News would give emphasis to this
article by iMlss I’atter&on, because it bids
fair, ts rightly considered, to arouse the
public conscience and pave the way for
needed reform in this direction. Other
writers, many of tin m belter known to
the general public than is this talented
Macon lady, have, from time to time, dis
cussed existing conditions in Southern
mills, and one of them, at least, Miss de
(.Iraffffenreid, caused quite a sensation by
her frank and pointed criticisms. iiut
nearly all of these writers have dealt with
the problem in a general way, and few, if
any, have written of the vary worst feat
ure of Southern mill lift—child labor.
It is here, It set ms to us, that the work
of reform must begin, for the reason that
14 is impotc Ible to improve the condition of
these people while the suite tolerates, the
employer encourages and the parent per
mits the enslaving of helpless children,
whose minds, and souls and bodies are
dwarfed by the operation. With the com
ing generation of mill operatives—ls they
must spend their lives chained to the loom
—educated to a higher standard of citizen
ship, their young minds broadened by con
tact with the outside world, their bodies
made stronger and hoaßhii r by freedom
during childhood, we may expect to wee
conditions in the mills of the future that
will not demand the attention of legislative
bodies and of reformers.
But to bring about this needed, this
necessary reform,our lawmakers must act,
and act at once. They refits' d to do so at
the last session of the General Assembly,
the bill by .Mi <Vaig, of Bibb, forbidding
child labor in the mills, being defeated by
the hired lobbyists of the mills; but per
haps, a more careful study of the matter
may quicken their consciences and redeem
the state of Georgia from this species of
human slavery—of barbarity.
The News is glad to contribute its voice
to such a tnovi ment, and it intends to
keep the matter before the people until
public opinion has so revolted as to force
some form or remedial legislation. T.ho
picture presented today is not overdrawn
in the slightest detail. It is painted, not
by a sensational newspaper writer, but by
a lady whose word we are willing to vouch
for with our life, if necessary. By a writer
.wh'o has always been conservative to a
degree, and who, we doubt not, is almost
'too conservative in this instance. We
commend the article in question to 'the
serious consideration of every citizen of
Georgia and of the South who is interested
In the progress of the human race.
Li Hung Chang is enough of a states
man to know that the European powers
never attempt to destroy a government
which owes them more than its laud is
•worth, says the Milwaukee Sentinel.
An Important Issue.
We are gratified to see that the editors
of the Forsyth Chronicle and Monroe Ad
vertiser have reached an amicable adjust
ment of their differences, and that hence
forth they will pursue the same policy in
aliening the name Dußignon.
Tilt' editor of the Advertiser, whenever
he took occasion to show that the gentle
man from Chatham had no chance the
governorship, always did it with a "du.”
This so grated on the nerves of the Chron
icle's editor that he would reply in words
of withering sarcasm and hurl at his con
temporary insinuations about the great
need for a common school education among
certain members of the profession. The
Chronicle insisted on using the capital
•'I).” but the Advertiser claimed the right
<o have a style of its own, and so persist
ed in using the lower-case.
The issue finally became so grave that
friends interceded and a plan was out
lined for an amicable settlement, It was
proposed that the matter be left to Mr.
Dußignon, himself, the content ion being
that he would probably know how to spoil
his own name. This was agreed to. and
the Chronicle has conic out victorious.
On the 13th of January, Mr. Dußig
non wrote as follows, and among other
things said:
. “Owing to my absence from the state.
I did not receive your letter of the Bth
instant until this morning.
"1 think you are correct in saying that
the reasons which obtained in France for
using the small “d” have no application
this country, and that under the gen
eral rules for capitalization of words the
“du" in my name should be spelled with
capital “D.”
Commenting on this, the Chronicle says:
“This evidence and authority would
seem sufficient to settle the issue in favor
of the Chronicle, and we 'have no doubt
our friend. Judge Williamson, will be con
tent to accept what Colonel Dußignon
»a\s. and frankly admit that our conten
tion is right, and that he had been lead
into an error by accepting what other
careless writer- had said in reference to
the matte- '
Now that the matter has been settled I
once for all. we hope peace will he re
stored in Forsyth, and that our esteemed
contemporaries will settle down to their '
normal condition of mind—that of sublime !
adoration of the Hon. Bob Berner. And
we also hope that the other members of
the Georgia press who have affected the
lower-case style of spelling Mr. Dußig
non s name will see the error of their
ways and set it right before the world
And we further hope that not one of them
will be so mean as to reply that the
"properest" way to spell Dußignon is
*'D-e-n-n-i-s.“
ti Sa >’ s th * Americus Times-Recorder:
“There is to be a three-cornered fight for
commissioner of agriculture. Hon. Mar
tin Calvin, of Richmond, has announced
his candidacy. It will now be between
Stevens, Nesbitt and Calvin. Southwest
is for Stevens. We think about
wh*it Nesbitt said when he was making
the race against Commissioner Henderson,
"Nesbitt said he had no fight to make on
mderson only that it was time for a new
' “Henderson had been In long
h.” The Times-Recorder thinks the
Commissioner Nesbitt.”
What Wolcott Revealed.
It Is a self-evident fact that Senator
Wolcott's caustic references to Secretary
of the Treasury Gage are as applicable to
President McKinley himself as to his cab
inet officer. and it I* evident, too, that
they are deserved in both eases.
It is no longer possible to deny that the
attitude of the whole Republican party is
one of antagonism to bi-metallism,
whether international or independent, and
President McKinley, no matter what his
personal views may have been, has been
forced to carry out the policy of his
party—even to the extent, as has been
i shown, of conspiring to defeat the mission
of tbe Wolcott commission.
Today s Atlanta Constitution contains
jan editorial which makes several verv
' forcible points in connection with this
; matter. The Constitution points out that
! ir. his speech explanatory of the mission
on which he and his fellow commissioners
j were sent to Europe, Mr. Wolcott let a
; little cat out of the bag.
in further • explanation of what Mr.
j Wolcott revealed, the Constitution says:
“When the commission arrived in Eng
land after visiting France and Germany,
everything seemed to be in their favor.
They found the government willing to lis
t'-n to their proposals, and the hour seem
ed moat auspicious. This was in June.
The British cabinet asked for time in
which to frame a reply to the Joint propo
lis of France and the United States.
it was at this moment that the adminis
tration began to get in its deadly work, in
accordance with the contract made by Mark
Hanna. Mr. Gage, the secretary of the
treasury, wrote letters to certain New
Vo.-k bankers declaring that bimetallism
was dead, that there was no bhance for an
international agreement, and that the only
thing for thi3 country to do was to perma
nently adopt the gold standard.
These letters were at once carried to
London by certain New York bankers and
exhibited to British officials. Mr. Wol
cott pretend* to believe that the letters
w< re forgeries, but so far from being for
t ies, they were part of a well concocted
scheme. Another part of the same scheme
was the message of President McKinley,
stnt to congress in July, at the moment
when Che British cabinet was debating its
reply to our envoys.
In this message Mr. McKinley gave the
dearest and most unmistakable endorse
ment of the Indianaiiolis plan—and this
was an endorsement of the gold standard.
Mr. Woclott seems to still believe that
I ’residen t McKinley 'is a bimetallist, and
that the preseident’s financial views are
publicly and boldly misrepresented by the
declarations of Secretary Gage.
Rut does'Mr. Wolcott really believe this?
Probably not. The mildest mannered pres
ident would not permit a secretary of the
treasury to fly in his face with such ut
terances as Mr. Gage has made, and to ap
pear before a house committee advocating
a measure directly opposed to bimetallism
and intended to “commit the country more
thoroughly to the gold standard.”
A president will permit some things to
be done, but he will not allow his’ cabinet
officers to misrepresent his policy. And
nobody -knows this better than ‘Mr. Wol
cott. More than that, he knows that every
word he applied to Gage will also apply
directly and much more pointedly to the
president.
But Mr. Wolcott desires to remain in
the Republican party, even though he
knows it to be a gold standard party.
'Hence his speech. This is the whole
groml of it.”
Women Read Advertisements.
It is claimed, says the Philadelphia
Press, that women are the only readers of
advertisements. In a measure this 'is true,
and necessarily so, for iwomen are the
larger purchasers for the household and
spend most of the money that is earned by
business, professional and working men.
Even in the larger transactions it will
probably surprise dealers to learn how in
fluential a voice women have. The pur
chase of a home is almost invariably de
termined by 'the women of the household,
and in nine cases out of ten their infor
mation as to the situation and desirabili
ty of a purchase is gained from the news
papers.
Aud every furniture dealer, dry goods
dealer, groceryman and keeper of any sort
of store knows that he must appeal to the
women if he wishes to sell his goods. One
of the largest elements in the success of
one of t'he greatest merchants In the world
today is the fact that he knows how to ap
peal attractively through the advertise
ment to the women.—'Fourth Estate.
Even the goldbug Savannah Press is
willing to make this admission with refer
ence to Boss iCroker, who now presumes to
dictate to the entire Democratic party:
“The New r York [Democracy appears to
have reached the low level of complete
subjection to the corrupt politician who
so good an authority as Henry George said
should be in the penitentiary. It should
occasion no surprise that his bold emi
nence inspires him with an ambition t'o
control the presidency, With which object
he is grooming his man, van Wyek. as an
opponent to Bryan. He has weaned away
Senators Jones, Murphy, Faulkner and
Gorman from 'the silver champion and be
fore long he will take others equally as
prominent i»K> the camp. Croker has the
aspirations of a Caesar, but like that Ro
man potentate, his ambition will kill
him.”
The Jonesboro Enterprise speaks thus
of the next commissioner of agriculture:
“Hon. O. B. Stevens, of Terrell county, is
waging a lively campaign for commission
er of agriculture and those who favor his
candidacy say that his chances of winning
are very good. He is a practical farmer,
a man of ability and a loyal Democrat.”
Says the Albany Herald: “Old New
England is now getting a dose of McKin
ley prosperity in the way of reductions
and strikes. The Republican party will
have to not only change its policy, but in
vent an entirely new song and story, if it
succeeds in fooling the laboring people of
this country again.

Rheumatism
It is absolutely impossible to
have Rheumatism if the Blood '
is pure. The acids which cause
the disease cannot exist in rich,
healthy blood. The reason so
many thousands fail to get rid
of Rheumatism is because they
try to cure it with liniments and
external applications of one kind
or another.
The Blood cannot be reached
from the outside. Rheumatism
cannot be cured that way. A
person may try a lifetime, but
the disease will not yield to such
treatment; it will, on the other
hand, grow worse each year.
Swift’s #
[Specific
is the one remedy that will cure
Rheumatism. It is the only
purely Vegetable Blood Purifier
that the world has ever known.
It drives all acids and impurities
out of the circulation, restores
vital energy, and sends rich,
pure, red' Blood through the
veins and arteries.
No matter how long Rheuma
tism may have tortured you,
Swift’a Specific will effect a
permanent cure.

Hon. Phil Cook, who is a candidate for
secretary of state, is out in a card to tae
public in which he says:
“I am a Democrat, and my only platform
j is the piaiform of my party, adopted at the
■ Chicago convention in 1896. While appre
i ciating the fact that the secretary of state
| of Georgia has but little to do with the
I question of the currency and still less to do
| with the tariff, I feel it to be the plain
duty of every Democrat, in times like
I these, whether or not he aspires to public
■ office, to make open declaration of the
| faith that is in him. I believe in rigid
: economy in the administration of ail the
! departments of the state government, and
I pledge myself to do all in my power, if
elected, to aid in the reduction of the tax
rate. High taxes and five cent cotton do
not go well together, and, in my judg
ment, it should be the earnest purpose of
every officer of the state during this pres
ent period of depression to keep the ex
penses of the state down to the lowest pos
sible figure consistent with an effective
and capable administration.”
Mr. Cook's platform is a good one, and
if he is made of the stuff of which his an
cestors were made, he will stand on it
both before and after his election.
The Atlanta Journal says: “Tobe Ste
vens’ for commissioner of agriculture is
exciting comment by the rapid way in which
it has “caught on.” The genuine enthusi
asm with which South Georgia supports
his candidacy, and the pleasant expres
sions made daily concerning it in other
portions of the state, lead pretty generally
to the belief that Stevens will prove one
of the swiftest men entered in any of the
races.”
Sheriff Troy Holder came over from
Lumpkin yesterday, and says the good old
county of 'Stewart is going to support Hon.
O. <B. Stevens, of Terrell, for commissioner
of agriculture.—Americus Times-Recorder.

CHARRED MATCH.
Hamilton, 0., Jan. IS —A postmortem
by Dr. C. N. Huston on the body of
Thomas D. Bailey, who was found dead at
the Fox hoarding house, on North Second
street, yesterday, showed that death had
been caused by fatty infiltration of the
heart. During the autopsy a pertubera
tion of the lining of the stomach attracted
the attention of the surgeon. An incision
w ith the knife laid bare a half match, one
end charred, which was imbedded in the
middle wall of the stomach. During his
life this had been of no inconvenience to
the deceased. He had probably swallowed
the piece of match while eating hastily,
and the pressure of the food drove the
point into the wall of the stomach.

“HAUNTED” HOUSE.
Louisville Citizens Rebel Against Their
Ghosts.
1 Louisville, Ky., Jan. IS—The residents
in the neighborhood of Twenty-sixth and
; St. Cecelia s-treets, near the old St. John's
i cemetery, long since filled, have filed a re
quest- with Inspector Tilford to tear down
the house standing at the intersection of
| those streets.
The grounds for complaint are that the
' house is haunted, and that children can
: not be made to pass within a square of
, the place. The house was bulit in 1850.
The last occupants left it twenty years
ago. and said they would not live in 'it for
SI,OOO and the rent free. Since that time
it has been a rendezvous for thieves, who
were evidently not afraid of ghosts.
Many stories of white figures, unearthly
yells, moans, etc., have been told, and
Officer Kremer testifies to having seen a
j shape in white flitting about the vtaoant
rooms. Inspector Tilford says he has no
authority to tear down the house.
