Electric Power for Atlanta.
A recent editorial in The News called at
tention to the advisability of utilizing the
Ocmulgee river to develop electric power
for Macon, and it was shown that such an
undertaking would not only give 'Macon
cheaper power, but would give her an in
dustrial impetus which she could not oth
erwise hope for.
In this collection it is interesting to note
that the city of Atlanta is about to utilize
the Chattahoochee river for a similar pur
pose, and the people of that city are highly
elated over the project. Yesterday’s Con
stitution states that steam power in At
lanta will be at a discount if the plans of
the new electric power company do not
miscarry. Everything is moving along
quietly, but in a most business-like way,
•toward the construction of a great 'power
plant on the Chattahoochee river, twenty
miles 'from Atlanta.
Application has been made for a charter
for a company Which proposes to dam the
.river near 'Roswell, put in a large gener
ating plant, bring the current into Atlan
ta by wire and offer it for sale to all man
ufacturers and street car companies and
for illuminating purposes.
It Is proposed to put 'in three dams and
back the water up for fifteen miles. This
■would give tin immense reservoir with a
capacity of 4,000,000,000 gallons of water.
The capitalists behind the enterprise are
(principally 'from New York. They have
figured that Atlanta would take many
thousand horse-power of current. Wihile
steam coal can be laid down in Atlanta
for a low figure, still in a large business
the fuel item is a large one. The Southern
Agricultural works, for instance, hats dis
pensed with nearly all its steam power and
has put in motors. A motor does not re
quire an engineer to look after it all the
time. It takes no fuel to run it. As soon
as the circuit is closed the power is ready
for use.
There Is considerable loss from leakage
in transmitting a current f or a long dis
tance. There is a great power plant at
Niagara Falls. The electric current is
carried forty miles 'to Buffalo. It is esti
mated that the leakage in 'transmitting
Is from ten to fifteen per cent for that
distance. For twenty miles it would not
be so'much. After the plant is constructed
■the cost of generating the electricity by
water power is small.
The scheme of harnessing the river is
no new one. Sc veral promoters undertook
it lu the past, but not always having the
same part of the river in mind. About
two years ago there was a plan on foot to
build a plant somewhere out on the river,
and the city waited two months before
letting its electric light contract to sec
what the promoters intended 'to do. They
approached the Georgia Electric Light
Company w.it.h a proposition to work to
gether. but the latter company would not
go into the deal and the promoters of the
new plant dropped their project. This time
the plans seem to be certain to go through
all right, or so say business men here who
have talked to the promoters. The charter
■will probably be granted in about two
weeks and then the company can organize
permanently and get to work.
There is no reason wjjy Macon cannot be
equally successful in an undertaking of
this kind, and 'it is believed that, wit'h a
few local men at the head of it, any
amount of northern capital would be avail
able for such an enterprise.
One great scheduled event of the week
■has not taken place. Mr. Corbett’s news
paper jury refused to try Referee Siler.
Interstate Commorce Legislation.
Among the most important legislation
■before the present session of congress is
the bill of Senator Cullom, of Illinois, 'in
tended to cover the many existing defects
In the inter state commerce law. It is gen
erally admitted that the courts of the
country have so mutilated the law that it
is now practically worthless, and some
sort of legislation is now urgently needed.
Senator Cullom’s bill gives the Inter-
State Commence Commission authority to
prohibit any railroad company or other
common carrier from charging more for
a long than a short haul over the same
line.
The bill also confers on the commission
the right to amend and fix rates where
there is occasion to do so, and to decide in
cases of <IIBOOIO on joint reductions the
portion of each road affected.
- The bill providing for the filing of sched
ules of rates for inter-state transportation
between any two points, and it is specially
stated that this shall apply "although one
point is situated in a foreign country.”
All common carriers are required to file
■with the commission "copies of contracts
or agreement with other carriers in rela
tion to any traffic affected by the pro
visions of this act to which it may- be a
party.
There is specific provision against any
change of schedule rates and also against
rebates or remittances of special privile
ges to shippers, the penalty in each case
being $5,000. each day to count as a sepa
rate offense so long as the practice is con
tinued. It is made a misdemeanor to aid
in any unjust discrimination under the act
or in any fraudulent representation by
•which transportation is obtained at less
than the lawful rates, and the offense is
made 'punishable by a fine of $5,000, and
one year’s imprisonment. A fine of $5,000
is also imposed for a change of rates by an
unauthorized device. The carriers them
eelves as well as their agents, are made
liable for all offenses. Persons who testi
fy falsely under the act are to be deemed
guilty of perjury.
Every now and then there is a rift in the
black clouds of strikes, poverty- and starva
tion, and there is still hope for humanity
■while the world holds such men as the late
Henry L. Pierce, of Milton. Mass., of the
Walter 'Baker Chocolate Company. When
Mr. Pierce’s will was opened it was found
that his 425 employes 'were beneficiaries
to the extent of SIOO each, while one old
and trusted employe was remembered with
$2,000. In these days too often when a
man gets to be an "old and trusted em
ploye,” the usual method of procedure is
to politely ask him for his resignation.
California Golden Jubilee.
The celebration of California's golden
: jubilee began Monday. It commemoiatea
i the discovery of gold in that state fifty
years ago. The first California gold was
found by a man named Marshall at Colma,
I near the old fort erected by General Sut-
I ton.
Fifty years ago—in January, 1848 —gold
I was discovered by Marshall in the tail
! race of Captain Sutter's sawmill, on the
| South Fork of American river, near where
i now stands the town of Coloma.
Then came the rush to the Pacific slope.
, From every direction came the sturdy
i Argonauts in search of the modern golden
Some went by the long and stormy
, sea voyage around Cape Horn, some cross-*
| ed the fever-stricken isthmus of Panama,
i and some boldly struck out across the
' then unknown plains, and laid out the
great overland trail to California.
The rapid development of the Pacific
coast was the direct result of the discov
ery of gold. The week will be a notable
one in all respects, its most striking fea
ture being a mining fair, the most com
plete exposition of the kind ever pre
sented.
Before Starting Out.
On a shopping expedition, the mistress of
the house consults the advertising pages
of The News. She knows that there she
will find the latest announcements of the
live, go-ahead merchants of Macon.
Why?
Because every merchant who knows his
business understands that sagacious and
successful advertising is the only way to
attract custom in these times or red-hot
competition. And every advertiser in
Macon knows that business announcements
in The News bring the best results.
Why?
Because The News has the largest cir
culation in Macon and vicinity of any
other daily paper; it equals the aggregate
of all others. It reaches the people who
buy.
‘‘Music at the feast” is just nowasubject
of Eastern debate. It is claimed that soft
music aids digestion and that the blatant
noises of brass destroy the pleasure of
dining. Personal observation would lead
to the conclusion that a hungry, healthy
man can eat his share with or without
music.
“Earnings-Sharing” Experiment-
That is w'hat Alfred Doldge, the felt
manufacturer of Eastern New York, calls
■his latest scheme to improve business. It
is, he declares, not a philanthropic, but a
wholly selfish business enterprise. Desi
rous of securing the most skillful work
men to be had, he undertakes to make it
worth their while to remain with him, for
their productive power is increased by
their continuous labor. He not only pro
vides a park, a club house, a library, and
maintains a school, but he agrees to pay
them pensions, annuities and life insur
ance, based on the length of their service,
giving them in these forms 50 per cent of
the wages they have earned in ten years.
These sums, instead of paying over from
week to week in increased wages, he in
vests for them and hands to them w’en
they fall due —pensions when the workman
is disabled by accident, sickness, or old
age; endowment when he reaches the age
of sixty, and insurance at death after five
year’s service.
Says the New York Journal: “Whatever
explanation may be given of the present
situation of the cotton industry of New
England, it is certain that increased “pro
tection” is doing it no good. What is
called protection restricts its market,
tends to overproduction and lower prices
by the hothouse competition at home, and
the more it gets of this kind of ‘foster
ing’ the worse off are those employed in
it. This lesson the operatives of Fall
River, New Bedford, Lowell and Lawrence
are just now having pressed home and if
the claim of the mill owners that they are
forced by the conditions of business to re
duce wages is justified, they ought to lay
to heart the same lesson.”
No more gold bricks to the constituents
in the shape of 'printed speeches in the
■Congressional Record that have never
been delivered. It will save expense to
Uncle Sam in the way of free delivery,
and congressmen will have to stop “point
ing with pride" to the columns of that
thrilling and highly sensational publica
tion unless they are really oratorieally in
clined. Hereafter, to get his outburst of
eloquence printed in the Congressional
Record, the Congressman will have to
make his speech in congress. However,
seed may be sent 'the same as usual.
No wonder Klondikers are reported as
starving to death, when the market price
of whisky is $1 a drink. But so long as
the quotation on pie continues at $2 per
pie, the miners need have no fear for the
future, especially if the high figure 'will
tend to stop the manufacture of the dys
pepsia-producing article.

A DISASTROUS MUSICAL BAR
Twelve Cellixts Who Could Not Flay Wit!
Their Noses.
There is a down town theater in St
Louis which has had a new cello play
er every week since the season opened.
Every one of the cellists who have
been dismissed “fell down’’ on tin
same piece of music, a Hungarian danct
of some eccentric but. catchy sort. N
matter how good the cellist might b.
in reading music at sight, whenever 1-
came to a certain important passage i
this composition his bow would faL
mutely by his side, his left hand make
a frantic but vain effort to finger the
strings, and his eyes stare as if he saw
a ghost.
Week after week the Hungarian
dance was a fizzle. The leader got mad
and the cellist was fired. The other
members of the orchestra began to call
the piece the Hungarian hoodoo and
looked for its reappearance as if it was
a “haunt.” The leader was very proud
of the Hungarian dance, because he had
transposed and arranged it himself, and
was determined to make it “go” before
the season ended.
A cellist of some renown arrived in
the city last week, and he was prompt
ly employed. When he showed up for
rehearsal, there on the programme, as
luck would have it. was the Hungarian
hoodoo. The bass fiddler alone took pity
on the young cellist and whispered in
bis ear:
“Better take a look at the Hungarian
dance before yon tackle it.”
The cellist took the cello part and
ran his experienced eye over it, tried
some of the difficult passages and play
ed them with ease. Suddenly his eye
fell upon the fatal passage. His mouth
opened, the bow fell, his eyes popped.
The leader was rapping to begin.
“Who arranged this cello part?”
"I did. Why?”
“It can t be played as written by any
normal man unless he fingers this bass
note with his nose. Ido not use my
nose, and I don’t think it can be done”—
“Mozart did it.” gasped the leader,
sparring for wind as be examined the
passage.
“But that was a piano,” protested
the cellist, while the musicians crowd
ed around and giggled at the leader’s
discomfiture.
The Hungarian hoodoo was omitted
from the programme, the cellist was
not fired, and the piece will be rear
ranged.—St. Louis Republic.

The Heir to the Austrian Throne.
The heir apparent to the throne is the
nephew of the emperor, Archduke Francis
Ferdinand of Este, a weakling in body and
mind, whom nobody knows, for whom no
Ixxly cares, who has not one single quality
to enable him to grasp the reins cf the un
ruly dual team and lead It safely and
successfully on its dangerous road. Most
likely Ferdinand will find at ids accession
to the throne—like his uncle in 184 d—the
whole country in uproar and revolt, some
wiseacres advising him to drive the state
carriage as a Gennan-Magyar-Czech troy
ka; others clamoring for a Czech-Polish -
Magyar German four-in hand, and the
majority cf his subjects shouting wildly
for a “go as you please” steeplechase.
In well informed courtcircles it is whis
pered already that Ferdinand, who is of
delicate health and not able to stand the
climate of Vienna, will never sit upon the
throne of the Hapsburgs, and even if he
should attempt it would not occupy it
long. Since he is a bachelor, the reins
would pass to his younger brother, Arch
duke Otto. Then good by, Austria! This
imperial prince—if all be true that is cur
rently reported—despised alike by all the
people, regardless of nationality, creed or
party, for his principles, morals and man
ners, could not find a score of decent men
to unfold his banner. Neither could any
other member of the Hapsburg family—
most of them afflicted with hereditary pre
dispositions to epilepsy, insanity or de
bauchery—concentrate upon himself such
popular sympathies as would make bis
accession to the throne a lasting success.

Wolf Hounds and Wolves.
A pair of Irish wolf hounds, imported
recently, will receive systematic training
on a treadmill and in other ways this win
ter in Louisville, and in the spring will be
furnished an opportunity to show their
ability in killing the American wolf. The
outcome of the experiment is said to be
eagerly awaited by the cattlemen in the
far west, who suffer much loss through
the depredations of wolves. Russian wolf
bounds and American deerhounds have
been tried in vain. One of the great diffi
culties in the way of killing the American
wolf is the peculiar thickness of the ani
mal’s neck and the large quantity of mat
ted hair thereon. This renders it almost
impossible for a dog to choke a wolf, and
in a battle with dogs the wolf’s phenom
enally sharp teeth usually cut the dog to
pieces. Then they Lave such a phenom
enal spring that they can frequently jump
a distance of 10 or 15 feet and land on the
dog’s back, tearing their opponent’s head
and face with their fangs. Owing to these
facts Kentucky dog fanciers do not gener
ally believe that there is a breed of dogs in
existence capable of exterminating the
American wolf or to even interrupt him
in his marauding expeditions on the great
cattle plains of the west.—New York Post.
He Looked Young.
The Hon. Clifford Sifton, Canadian
minister of the interior, is very youthful
looking, a fact which gave rise recently to
the following amusing story. When the
government party to visit the Yukon em
barked at Vancouver on the steamer
Quadru, Mr. Sifton appeared at dinner in
a Yukon traveling suit, the prominent
features of which are described as “a blue
flannel shirt and copper riveted overalls.”
The captain, who did not know the min
ister of the interior by sight, appeared at
dinner dressed in his full uniform, and
after waiting some little while began
fidgeting and glancing continually to the
tntrance of the saloon. When the soup was
getting cold, the captain heard one of the
party address the young looking gentle
man as Mr. Sifton, and turning to him
said, “I beg your pardon, Mr. Sifton, but
do you know if the minister, your father,
is coming in to dinner?” Explanations
ensued, and the dinner progressed. But
the captain thinks that when members of
the cabinet take passage in future they
should be preceded by their photographs.

WmMb* the Face.
There are some misguided persons who
object to washing the face often, especially
with soap, thinking this is an injury to
the complexion. Those, however, who
have made a specialty of skin diseases
will say that no part of the body needs
soap so much; that the face being con
stantly exposed to dust, collects so much
that it is not enough to wash it in clear
water. They agree that if soap makes the
face shiny, as so many claim, it only
shows that it is the more needed, and that
the work of drying after the bath has not
been properly performed. The face, how
ever, should not be wet immediately be
foie or after going out. Its most thorough
ablutions should be performed at night
before going to bed, and the following
method should be observed in the process:
Fill a basin with soft, warm water,
lather a medium sized sponge with good
soap and wash carefully. Then take fresh
water without soap and wash again with
the hands and rub thoroughly with a
Turkish or crash towel until the face is
dry and tingling. This will do much to
ward improving and preserving the com
plexion.—New York Ledger.

feet, and give a written guarantee that
“If the above named roof leaks or needs
painting at any time within ten years fro

out any expense to owner of building.”
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
work. Work entrusted to his hands will
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 roof, and there were a
great many. His whole transaction was
fair, business-like and satisfactory. Re
spectfully, a. W. Muse.
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. 1
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 i
would rent it. He had it painted and '
worked on until he had about decided that i

I it could not bo fixed except with a new
i 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 jou for your money.

Having had Mr. Harvey English to paint
several roofs with his incomparable prep
aration for stopping leaks, it affords me
pleasure to bear testimony to his honest
workmanship and to the fact that “Eng
lish Paint Stops the Leaks; Yes, It Do.”

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.

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
I 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.
