Smallpox in Macon.
The News makes the announcement to
day that there are three cases of smillpox
In IMacon. The time was when such an
announcement would almost cause a panic,
but, with modern methods of treating and
controlling the disease, there is now little
occasion for any unusual anxiety, and it is
to be believed that the iMacon public will
exercise common •ease with reference to
the casee now reported.
'Experience has taught and scienee has
demonstrated that this once fearful dis
ease has been rendered comparatively
haimless and easily eradicated, where
properly handled, as it will unquestionably
be in Macon.
All that is necessary Is for our people to
the vaccinated at once and to exercise such
precautions as the Board of Health may
eugg< st.
In this connection it may be pointed out
that the disease has existed in Atlanta and
other cities for sometime past, and yet
there have been no direful results. Bus
iness has not been suspended and there
has been no excitement of an unusual na
ture. In many places the disease has al
ready been effectually eradicated, as it, no
doubt, soon will be in Macon.
In the meantime, The News solemnly
promises the public that it will keep no
facts concealed which the public has a
right to know, it will, as far as lies in
Its power, faithfully report the progress
of the disease In this city, and its state
ments may be rolled upon. Just now,
however, we see no occasion for alarm,
and we hope the people of Macon will show
their usual sound sense in tills matter.
Macon Is In no sense Aerlously infected,
there is probably no danger of a
further spread of the disease if the proper
precautions are taken.
Tlie Board of Health is already actively
at work, and we think we are safe in say
ing it will handle the disease in the most
approved and satisfactory manner.
And now the iHon. Hut Jenkins is swing
ing around the circle. This style of
launching a gubernatorial boom had a
prompt and salutary effect on the Hon.
Joe Terrell.
Child Labor in the Mills.
The article by 'Miss Mary Lamar Pat
terson on “Child Labor ‘in t'he Mills,” re
cently published in The News, continues
to receive attention from the state press.
It has been widely and favorably com
mented upon by those newspapers which
are not. under the control Os corporations.
The Augusta Herald is the latest news
paper to notice Miss Patterson’s article,
and Editor Rayne makes it the subject Tor
a leading editorial, which is as follows:
“Georgia protects her birds and beasts,
but is deaf to the cry of her children.”
"This quotation from the report of the
education committee to the Federated
Clubs of Georgia is the text of an article
in the Macon Evening News, by its gifted
sode.ty editor. Miss Mary Lamar Patter
son. which is sure to attract attention.
“There is an evident desire on the part
of Miss Patterson to present a faithful pic
ture of the situation and at the same time
to avoid anything like sensationalism. She
is deeply impressed with the hopeless con
dition of the child who, beginning at eight
years of age, goes into the cotton mill,
where the work is from 6 o'clock in the
morning until 6 o’clock in the evening,
with forty minutes for dinner, shut out
from all wholesome and linspiring influ
ences and deprived of the education which
alone could redeem one from such a bond
age. She draws a pathetic picture of
"With pallid cheeks and torn apparel,
Those who tend the busy loom
Realising that in their life work
The birds they weave will never bloom;
Their staring birds will never card.”
She points out that human nature is
weak and that when a child can contrib
ute 45 cents a day towards the scanty
budget of the family, it is hard for an
impecunious parent to put aside the temp
tation. This Is one of the many diffi
culties to be overcome, for many sincere
and sympathetic friends of the children
are not sure that <it is on the whole a
benefaction to deprive impoverished fam
ilies of even this small income, nor would
such families regard it as such.
“Miss Patterson feels that her mission
la a worthy one because it is that of a
Southern woman. If it were undertaken
by northern reformers, she says, t'he facts
would be viewed as prejudiced and sec
tional. When these statements came from
& Southern woman, w’hose every sympathy
•nd sentiment is essentially Southern, an
attentive hearing is assured.
“Whatever may be the thought of the
details, we must all agree that the fac
tory operatives, old and young, are en
titled to educational edvantages such as
will inspire new hope in their hearts and
lift them to a higher and more useful
plane of citizenship.”
This government’s diplomatic represen
tatives in Europe, it is stated, have re
cently been making some inquiries as to
the probable attitude of European govern
ments if our government should adopt for
cible measures to stop the war in Cuba.
Our government’s agents abroad are rep
resented as reporting that they have had
assurance from England. France. Germany
•nd Austria, that in ca»e of such interfer
ence on our part they would maintain a
strict neutrality. As regards France, it
has been ascertained that such action by
Wie United States would not only be ap
propriate, but would be favorably regar
ded by her. No mention Is made of Rus
sia in this connection, but the Osar is less
liable to antagonize the United States
than any other European ruler, as the
friendship of Russia and the United States
U traditional. a'A
Shades of Carvantes!
Who was it remarked that there arc no
great American humorists* Let him read
today's Macon Telegraph and recant. He
will find on the front page, first column
a humorous sketch that for delicacy and
pungency ranks anything ever offered a
long suffering public. It is all about a
boat: an unpretentious, innocent looking
craft that would scarcely call for more
than passing notice from ordinary mortals.
But to the true humorist it Is a treasure
ship of fun and wit, a craft loaded to the
gunnels with bright and sparkling gems
of thought, that only needs the right sort
of stevedore to unload its cargo cf jokes
on an unsuspecting public. Not only does
the Telegraph's humorist scuttle the ves
sel in his piratical attempts at wit, but
he turns her prow upon bleeding Cuba
and plows up phosphoric humor as he cuts
the water. But, as if scorning these nar
row confines, he gives his craft more sail
and enters the closed ports of China,
which are made to capitulate at the first
crack of a joke. Mark Twain may have
covered a broader field, but he consumed
too much time in doing it. Had he pos
sessed the genius of the Telegraph re
porter who circumnavigated the globe on
a stern-wheel steamer in a single night,
he might have written his “Innocents
Abroad ’ without stirring from his desk.
But humorists are born, not made. Be
tides serving to convulse its readers, there
is reason to believe that the Telegraph s
desperate effort at humor will have an
other effect. It must inevitably lead to
the withdrawal of Spanish troops from
Cuba. They have withstood yellow fever,
dynamite, starvation and Senator Morgan,
but they must soon give way to such
rapier thrusts of wit as the Telegraph
deals them. It is an invincible army, in
deed, that can hold the field against such
an avalanche of humor as today’s Tele
graph pours forth. And poor old China,
no doubt, will consent to an immediate
partition, rather than be made the butt
of the Telegraph’s mailed Jokes. Thus is
the old saying again verified, “it’s an 111
wind that blows no good.”
Says the Savannah Morning News:
Jud-son Lyons is to have ‘something
much belter than the Augusta postoffice.’
Possibly President McKinley foresees some
other changes in his cabinet which will
enable him to give bls esteemed friend
Lyons the distinguished consideration of
a secretaryship.’’
Congress Should Take Cognizance of it.
The great strike of the New' England
cotton operatives who were made to vote
for McKinley, ought to call the attention
of Congress and the country to the hope
loss condition under which American
labor exists today, crushed as it is be
tween the .millstones of insatiate gold
contraction and a robber trust and mono
poly-tariff. But last week 9,000 cotton
spinm rs went out in New Bedford, Mass.
One mill, the Bristol, managed to keep
going with a small force, and, when clos
ing time came, the wormen and mill offi
cials were attacked by the strikers, but
no one was hurt. The indications are that
the struggle is to be a severe one and very
likely extend throughout New England.
The cotton, corporations insist that they
cannot pay the old scale of wages under
existing conditions of McKinley prosperi
ty. Before the cut the highest paid labor
in themllls, the mule spinners, were able
to earn $14.50 a week. Now they w'ould
get $13.05. The next highest paid, the
sleshers, have been cut from $9 to SB.IO.
Frame spinners formerly had the mag
nificent income of $5 weekly. Now’ they
would receive $4.50. On the other hand,
the mill corporations of New Bedford have
been paying dividends of six, ten, twelve
and in one case sixteen per cent, for
three years; only two are reported as
having paid less than six. The profits of
capital must not be reduced. When the
times grow stringent the poor devil who
starves on five or seven dollars a week
must make up the difference.
Kid McCoy claims to come of highly
respected parentage, and their silence on
the subject lends the color of truth to the
statement, mentions the Richmond Times.
Cleveland and Hawaii.
riwMviu ciweiana s reply to Senator
Morgan with regard to Hawaii is convinc
ing and to the point. It completely dis
poses of the virulent senators unwarrant
ed charges against Commissioner (Blount,
and effectually puts the former gentleman
in an unenviable light. It is difficult to
understand how Senator IMorgan or anyone
else ever misunderstood Mr. Cleveland’s
attitude toward Hawaii, or as to anything
else. It is generally conceded, we think,
that the ex-president, whatever else may
be said of him, had the faculty of making
himself understood. And it may also be
said that he was capable of understanding
others. He makes it very cicar that he
understood Commissioner Blount and he
vety positively coincided with him in 'his
views as to Hawaii. The ex-president’s
statement makes it clearly iu order for
Senator Morgan to rise to another question
of personal privilege and apologize to both
Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Blount.
A Washington special in today’s At
lanta Constitution gives strong intimation
that Mr. dußlgnon will not enter the
gubernatorial race.
Aristocratic Churches.
Not long ago a New York minister,
Rev. Henry Frank, made a tour of cer
tain wealthy churches in New York in
company with a reporter, to determine
whether men poorly dressed were ex
cluded. Mr. Frank was plainly dressed
iu the Sunday garments of a wage-earner,
the reporter as an ordinary man of
wealth, with silk hat, black frock eoat,
creased trousers and patent leather shoes.
They went to five of the most fashionable
churches in the city, and only did the
minister succeed in gaining admission;
that was when he exchanged his plain
clothes for the silk hat, eye-glasses, frock
coat and white necktie worn by the re
porter. which was done in the carriage
used by them for making the test. At
the same church the reporter was refused
a seat.
The Cochran Telegram contains the
following strong endorsement of Hon. O.
'B. Stevens for Commissioner of Agricult
ure:
“The above named gentleman is a candi
date for commissioner of agriculture, It is
true that he has not made any official an
nouncement to that effect, yet at the same
time, his friends have givan it out, and
he is only waiting for an opportune time
to make his announcement. We have fa
vored Mr. Stevens all along, and should he
decide to run we will, to the best of our
ability to support trim. There is no question
about his fitness for the position. He
would make a model commissioner. He is
peculiarly fitter for the position. He is
a practical farmer and has worked himself
from a day hand to the present standard.
He began life wih comparatively nothing,
and while he is not now a rich man, he is
comfortably fixed in the way of the world’s
goods, and has made what he has from the
soil. He is a man of brilliant attainments.
He is the man for the place and we do not
think that the people and especially the
farmers, would do •wrong if they elected
him.”
The Birmingham News says: "Senator
Bacon, of Georgia, has presented the Ha
waiian annexation question in the proper
light. He has introduced a resolution
providing that the people of the islands
shall vote upon the matter. This is sound
principle, if the islanders vote for an
nexation this country will, have a clear
title if it does annex the Islands. If they
declare against it then we should let
them alcne.”
Every newspaper that attempts to be
non-committal invariably winds up an ed
itorial on the gubernatorial situation
with the ambiguous remark, “We shall
ses w*hat we shall see.” To a man up a
tree it looks like they are already seeing
what they shall see. They are seeing Al
len Candler elected governr of Georgia
with about as much ease as could be de
sired. .. . . . , ,

Mr. dußlgnon rays that he Is not pre
pared to announce bis candidacy for gov
ernor. “Tais,” says the Albany Herald,
"will be a great disappointment to wire
grass Georgia if he fails to make the
race."—Savannah Press.
To which the Albany Herald makes re
ply as follows: “You are wrong there,
Mr. Savannah Press. The Albany Herald
has said no such thing. It was some other
Herald—perhaps our esteemed Waycross
contemporary. The Albany Herald has
said and sticks to It, that this is not a
good time for Mr. dußlgnon to run for
governor. We have said this, too, in all
kindness to Mr. dußignon. for we not only
esteem him as a man of character and
ability, but like him personally.”
The Albany Herald sounds this note of
warning: “Senator Bacon has won a word
of praise from the Macon Telegraph, but
he had to make a speech in the Senate in
behalf of the confirmation of a Republican
UJeneral Longstreet) to do it. W’e are
not finding fault with the Senator for go
ing to the rescue of the old soldier, for
we think he did the right thing at the
right time and in the right way, but as
the eyes of the people of the state are
upon him and two or three ambitious pol
iticians in the state are eyeing his seat
in the Senate with jealousy, we warn him
against doing anything else that would be
liable to elicit praise from the Macon or
gan again right soon.”
Says the Americus Herald: “A news
item in a contemporary states that all
signs point to the fact that the Republi
cans of the state wil place Major J. F.
Hanson, of Macon, in the field in the
gubernatorial race. Perhaps that is why
the Telegraph has been playing such a
‘hands off’ game in the matter and advis
ing people not to act precipatel'y in the
game.”
And now they are saying that Governor
Atkinson would play “next friend” to the
Hon. Hut Jenkins in case the latter de
cides to run for governor. If he can now
secure the support of the Macon Tele
graph, he will be put out of his misery at
once.

STRANGE CAREER.
Russian Jew. Who Controlled Negio Votes
is Convicted of Robbery.
The pension department has just se
cured the conviction of Ben de Lemos at
Montgomery, Ala., for robbing a xegro
claimant of S7OO. De Lemos has filed a
notice of appeal.
If half the testimony secured by the gov
ernment at De Lemos’ trial be true, he is
a most remarkable criminal. In the cot
ton field of the South he posed as a negro
preacher and saint; in Missouri he was a
Republican politician; in South Carolina
he was a Democrat and Prohibitionist,
and sold autograph Bibles, supposed to be
signed by General Grant, to the farm
hands at exhorbitant prices.
In Alabama he was tramp, laborer, pol
itician, and finally member of the legisla
ture, and was elected alternate to the St.
Louis convention that named iMeKinley.
A Russian Jew’ by birth, his United Spates
career began at Brazito, Mo., near Jeffer
son City.
Governor Thomas C. Fletcher, of that
state, gave him .a job at the Missouri cap
ital, and when Governor McClure was
elected, De Lumos became messenger.
Senator John 13. Henderson brought him
to Washington, and he was an in'timate
follower of Carl Schurz.
Washington life was too fast for De Le
mos, and he drifted east to New York, and
then tramped through the Southern states.
At Montgomery, while tramping, 'he crept
into ‘the state house and slept over night
in the speaker’s chair. In less than two
years after he was entitled to a seat in
that chamber. It was while acting as
general conuselor of the negroes in
Lowndes county that he is alleged to have
appropriated the old pensioner’s money.
Before 'the trial some one broke into Spe
cial Examiner Hope's room and stole the
papers in the De Lemos case, but he was
convicted.

A unique vocation.
It Is to Visit the Sick and Afflicted and It
Brings in Money.
New vocations for women are brought to
light every day. A clever woman who re
cently found ft .necessary to be a bread
winner. decided to become a visiting com
panion to invalids, convalescents and per
sons depressed. Her specialty is the art
of entertaining quietly. She can play every
game of cards and also chess, draughts,
dominoes and fox and geese. She has a
large supply of humorous anecdotes and
current talk; she is poster upon society
matters, home and foreign events, aud is,
as well, in touch with all the newest pub
lications. Her visits last from one to sev
eral hours, and in most cases are highly
enjoyable. Another profession is to be a
child’s companion. This vocation demands
an active and athletic, as well as patient,
intelligent and educated woman. She takes
children of various ages from their homes
and keeps them out for a morning or af
ternoon, or an entire day. Sometimes the
hours are spent in the park, and in bad
weather the museums are visited. She
must be able to play with her little
charges, to tell stories and to give them
some instructions in regard to the things
they see.

Albany, Ga., June 5, 1897.
We know Mr. Harvey English to be a
citizen of Dougherty county, Georgia, a
property holder therein; that he has done
a large amount of painting in Albany, Ga.
We have heard of no complaints about his

be faithfully executed, and his guarantee
is good. J. T. Hester, tax collector; Sam

The roof painting done for me by Mr.
Harvey English has been and still is one
of the most satisfactory pieces of work
which I ever had done. He stopped all
leaks in a large tin rods, and there were a
great many. His whole transaction was
fair, business-like and satisfactory. Re

Albany, Ga., Jan. 28, 1897.
Mr. Harvey English has covered the roof
of the engine room of the Albany Water
works with his roof paint, and I am well
satisfied with the work. He has also done
some work for me personally, two years
ago, which has proved satisfactory.

I have had my tin roof painted by Mr.
English. It leaked very badly. Since it
was painted it HAS NOT LEAKED A
DROP. He painted a roof for Capt. J. G.
McCall that leaked so badly that no one
would rent it. He had it painted and
worked on until he had about decided that

It could not be fixed except with a new
roof. Since Mr. English painted the roof
it has not leaked any. He has painted roofs
for J. W. Hopson, John Tillman, Clayton
Groover and others. He does the best work
I have ever seen done on tin roofs. He is
an honest and upright man, who would not
deceive you for your money.

Having had Mr. Harvey English to paint
; several roofs with his incomparable prep
aration for stopping leaks, it affords me
1 pleasure to bear testimony to his honest
‘ workmanship and to the fact that “Eng

Mr. Harvey English has stopped a very
bad leaking roof for us with his English
Paint. I recommend his paint to any one
who is troubled with leaky roofs.

Mr. English has done some work for us'
that required the best of paints and skill
as a workman. Without soldering he has
made a very leaky roof dry and tight. It
gives us pleasure to recommend him.

Thomasville, Ga., Ag. 18, 1894.
The corrugated iron roof of our shop
leaked so badly that in times of a heavy
rain, we have been compelled to shut
down all work and wait until the rain was
over. Mr. English painted the roof with
his English Roof Paint, stopped the leaks,
and now the work goes on, rain or no rain.
His paint is a first-class article. We take
pleasure in recommending English and his
paint. Beverly Bros. & Hargrave,

I hav had Mr. Harvey English to do
some painting for me on iron and tin roofs.
I am satisfied he has a superior roof paint.
