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. Mo More 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. Send for free books to the Swift Specific CO., Atlanta, Ga. Bhgp You can talk to 10,006 every day through the columns of The News. 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.

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. <L- : JL fc* Tt.e fee- _ Academy of Music.

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. UNION SAVINGS BANK AND TRUST COMPANY MACON, GA. Safety Deposit Boxes For Rent. J. W. Cabauiss, President; S. S.
