Compulsory Vaccination.
The city authorities, it seems to us, are
moving very slowly in dealing with the
epidemic of smallpox with which /Macon is
now threatened. The Board of Health
bias, we believe, done all in Its power In
Isolating the (present casqp and in passing
a resolution requiring compulsory vacci
nation. But the Board does not seem to
have the co-operation of council in Che
matter. At least, the latter body’ reserves
the right to think for itself, and so has
positively refused to make effective the
Board of Health’s denMnd for compulsory
vaccination, by fixing a penalty as re
quested.
It seems to us that council is to be cen
sured for this treatment of the Board of
Health’s recommi nd'atilon. Here we have
the wpeotacle of a body of business men
(who would probably confess to ignorance
of the nature of the disease) sitting in
judgment on the action of a body of ex
perts wtho are charged by the people with
protecting the hdalth of this city. The
council seems do have eubiredy ignored the
fact that the Board of Health is as much
a part of the municipal government as the
council itself, with duties as independent
and imperative. It only lacks police au
thority, else it would not be necessary for
it to apprtil to council in the matter.
If the Board of Health is not to be a
body of mere (puppets, 4t seems to us that
council has no rtght to even consider the
wisdom of its action in calling for compul
sory vaccination. If the Board is wrong
In making this deunand it alone is respon
sible for its actions. It is charged with a
most Important duty, and it cannot prop
erly perform that duty if it must be dic
tated tn by another body.
As it is, council has. by its refusal to
fix a penalty, practically nullified the ac
tion of 'the Board of Health, so that tihe
former body assumes all the responsibility
in dealing twCth this threatened epidemic
—an assumption, however, that is not war
ranted by either law or precedent.
We would nbt be an alarmist, but we
seriously doubt the wisdom of council in
dealing with this threatened epidemic in
the lax manner that has characterized its
actions so far. Council believes that there
Is no occasion for alarm, that there is ino
need to buiild a ipekt-house, that the mat
ter <ls to be treated as all ordintarv cases
of sickness. We only hope that its idea
of the situation may prove the correct one.
But experience teaches and science dem
onstrate® that in matters of this kind it
pays to ,be over-etautious.
Certain cases of smlallpox have been re
ported to the city authorities. It at once
becomes the duty of the city t.o take charge
of these eases and endeavor, at any cost,
to stay the progress of the epidemic. But
such has not been the course of the Miaeo-n
authorities in this instance. Council has
invited citizens to be vaccinated free of
charge at the city hall, but bow miany
have availed theimselves of this offer? The
spread of the disease among the hundreds
who have refused to do so. and who will
continue to refuse until compelled to do
so, would work serious injury to the
thousands of citizens whose interests de
mand that this disease be stamped out at
once.
We are loth to offer any oriHcism of
public officials at a time like tthls. but wo
cannot fall to foresee the possibility of
great damage to this community W the
proverbial “ounce of prevention" is not
resorted to at once. Either the Board of
Health should be allowed bo manage this
threatened epidemic as its experience and
knowledge dictates, or the members of the
Board should resign.
Mrs. Lease preached from Tom Dixon’s
pulpit in New York last Sunday. She dealt
largely with social problems, and said that
the world was at the beginning of an evo
lutionary period that marked another re
adjustment and reformation. She spoke
of the Anglo-American arbitration treaty
as a ’’hell-born child of evil,” and scored
the government for not taking up the
cause of Cuba. Tt is now in order, thinks
the Birmingham News, for Mr. Dixon to
Invite Emma Goldman, the famous female
anarchist, to further enlighten his con
gregation. Well, either would be an im
provement over the mountebank who usu
ally fills it.
Hill and Cuba.
New 1 ork state seems to be having a
time with its factional fights. The Platt
and anti-Platt factions of the Republican
party are still wrangling, and now comes
David B. Hill, who informs Mr. Croker
that Tammany will not be allowed to have
T2 tr>t ?' nK its own way i * n stac ® politics:
that the Democrats outside of New York
city must be allowed a voice in partv di
rection.
The state convention will have 450 dele-
C 7 >ker and T - u »u»any will control
the New york City delegation, but it will
require fiity-two more votes to give him a
M^i° r iL y in oonven tion- Therefore,
Hill has gone actively into the field to
head him off. if he can control the coun
ty delegation he can compel Croker to
. come to terms. If he does not. he will be
wiped out us a political quantity for the
next four years.
The Thomasville Times-Enterprise savs:
A triangular fight for commissioner of
agriculture is being made. The candi
dates are, O. B. Stevens, of Terrell. Mar
tin Calvin, of Richmond, and R. T. Nes
bitt, of Cobb. All are good workers and
the campaign will be a lively one. though
it has been overshadowed by the contest
for governor. Mr. Stevens, while assured
of a strong support ithroughout the wire
grass region, will develop a good deal of
strength in other sections of the state.
He would fill the office with credit to him
self, and to the satisfaction of the people.
The man who beats him will have to do
some lively sprinting.”
The Albany Herald says: “If there is any
opposition in this neck of the woods to
the Hon. O. B. Stevens, of Terrell, in his
candidacy for Commissioner of Agricul
ture, the Herald hasn't found it.”
Free Travelling Libraries.
The News has heretofore expressed its
gratification at the efforts being maoc to
establish a free traveling library in the
I country schools of Bitxb county. The plan
■ ! is already well under way and seems to
, | be working wsth entire satisfaction and
I much benefit. In this connection an artl
| cie in the February Review of Reviews
: toy Wm. B. Shaw is of considerable local
j and general interest. Mr. Shaw declares
I the traveling library to be a boon for
l country readers.
For many years, he says, Mr. Melvil
Dewey, director of the New York State
Library, has advocated a scheme of state
! distribution of books byway of loan to
i institutions and to groups of taxpayers on
I payment of a nominal fee. His plan in
t I eludes a system of central control and su
k j pervision under which small collections of
' | popular books are to be sent from point
I to point, kept in charge of responsible
persons, and circulated fretly among the
residents of each locality. The state of
New York made an appropriation for such
a system of library loaning In 1892, and
has approjzriated annually since. In the
flrtrt year 46 libraries were sent out; in
the second, 139; in the third, 212, in the
fourth, 371; and in the fifth year, 447.
Books have been purchased to supply the
constantly increasing demand, until now
I there are nearly 36,000 volumes owned by
the state and available for this purpose.
These libraries are all carefully chosen,
by expert librarians, and are made up of
the chotceet and freshest publications. A
large proportion of the books must neces
sarily be works of fiction if the interest
of the average borrower is to be sustain
ed. Care is taken to provide only the very
best and most wholesome stories, and to
adapt them to the age and requirements
of those to whom they are sent. In this
respect the influence of the traveling
libraries, if not distinctly educational, is
at least uplifting and Invigorating. A
growing Interest in biography, history,
economics, science, and art has been
noted and fostered by the management,
and many books in these departments are
continually being purchased and sent out.
Some entire libraries are made up of these
subjects, to the exclusion of fiction alto
gether. and the special collections sent
to study clubs throughout the state are
doing a real educational work.
Madam Modjeska should, and no doubt
will, receive in 'Macon tomorrow night am
ovation, such as her wonderful genius and
charming personality deserve. In addition
to the interest that ataches to this talen
ted lady and her art, it should be more
than ever a duty and pleasure for Macon
people to attend her performance tomor
row night. As has already been stated,
Madame Modjeska has very generously
offered a per cent of tomorrow night pro
ceeds ‘to the Macon Post T. P. A. for the
purpose of defraying the expenses of Ma
con’s jolly commercial travelers to Savan
nah during their state convention. iAn
artist of 'Madame Modjeska’s reputation
does not have to depend upon benefit per
formances for patronage, so that her ac
tion in this instance is all t'he more to be
aprpeciated. The Academy of Music should
be packed from pit to gallery. This is the
first, time the commercial travelers of Ma
con have ever called upon Macon’s citi
zens to assist them in raising funds, and
it should be a double pleasure for our
people to respond to their call this time.
Especially so when they are destined to
get more than value received for their
money.
Those Kentucky legislators who yester
day passed a resolution requesting United
States Senator Lindsay to resign might
have let him down easier had they known
he was in favor of ithe Teller resolution.
But, then, one swallow doesn’t make a

of the Teller resolution makes him a Dem
ocrat.
Mr. E. P. Chamberlin, of Atlanta, 'has

from the first dose, and half dozen dollar
' bottles cured her sound and well. Dr.

MONGOLIAN PHEASANTS.
They May Succeed the Quail as a Gums
Bird.
Many sportsmen think that the pheas
ant of the Mongolian kind will In a few
years succeed the quail as the popular
American game bhd. The pheasant has
not only its toothsome qualities to recom
mend it, but its beauty in waving plum
age of ravishing hues, and therefore will
prove a prize that every sportsman will en
deavor to secure when the season is once
open for it.- slaughter. It has attracted
the attention of our sporting men for
j many years in bonsequence of its success
ful introduction on the Pacific slope, aud
! now many eastern states ere introducing
, the Mongolian bird into their domains.
' In Ohio alone over 2M) birds were liberated
j last year.
Mongolian pheasants are well worth al!
. the expense and <-ire that may be expend
ied upon them. They evidently rank next
i to the birds of paradise in beauty, and, in
■ fact, are too handsome to be made targets
i of.
The male bird has the clieeksnaked and .
i of the brightest scarlet, minutely specked :
| with black, i'he cruv. n of the he .d is ;
I bronze gre«n. On each side of the occiput
is a tuft of dark golden green feathers ca
pable of being erected at pleasure and very '
conspicuous in the pairing season; upper
part of the neck dark green, glossed with
purple and violet blue; lower part of the
neck, breast and flanks deep reddish
orange, showing in some positions beauti
ful reflections of light purple; each feather
bordered and terminated with pansy pur
pic; center of the belly and thighs black
ish brown; center of the back ami scapular
feathers black or brownish black, sur
rounded by a yellowish white band and
bordered with deep reddish orange; lower
part of the back and tipper tail covert
green, intermingled with brownish orange
aud purplish red; tail leathers brown,
crossed by bands of black and fringed
with reddish brown; bill pale yellow; legs
and toes grayish black The female has ?
cheeks covered with small, closely set |
feathers, and the whole of the plumage is
yellowish brown, mingled with different
shades of gray’, brown and biack.
The Mongolian pheasant was first intro
duced into this country by Judge O. N.
Denny, who was our consul general at
Shanghai. He while there became deeply
interested in the large variety of exquisite
ly plumaged birds of that section of the
globe, and determined to introduce the
hardiest, the most toothsome and the most
prolific bird into the United States. His
first experiment in 1881 was a failure, but
in 1882 he selected from nine varieties the
Chinese ring necked pheasant, the Mon
golian, which is now called iu Oregon, in
compliment to the introducer, the Denny
pheasant.
There were but 28 of these, and they all
arrived safely at Portland, Or. They were
immediately liberated among the grain
fields and seinibrush covered and wooded
prairie at Judge Denny’s brother’s ranch
in Linn county, there to adapt themselves
or go out of existence.
Nothing was seen of the new birds for a
year or two, and then here and there in
different portions of the county shy little
coveys made their appearance, and before
five years had elapsed the cucketing of the
brilliant plumaged male birds was far
more commonly heard than that of their
own native grouse. It should be said that
through Judge Denny’s instrumentality
the legislature passed a law protecting the
new pheasant for a period of five years,
and at the expiration of this time, again
at his suggestion, the time was extended
for another interval of equal length. At
the end of ten years Oregon was literally
alivo with the Mongolian pheasant, which
delights the heart of every sportsman with
its swift and rapid flights and tempts the
most epicurean palate by its delicate white
flesh.—Newark Cail.

There is a story connected with the re
cent change in the management of a well
known family hotel in Atlanta which has
not before found its way into print. At
the time there seemed nothing out of the
ordinary in the failure. It was simply an
nounced that the house had been closed
by in patient creditors, and as such things
frequently occur no particular notice was
taken of the event. The people most sur
prised were the gnests of the hotel. To
them it came with startling and rather
■ painful abruptness. The first intimation
they had that disaster had overtaken the
management found them ill prepared for
the blow. One bright morning when the
hungry ones came trooping down to break
fast they were confronted by a placard
fastened upon the dining room door. It
borq^his legend: “Guodby. God be with
you till we meet again.”
It was the proprietor’s adieu. He had
< departed in the night, and thus was the
sad news broken to his hungry guests.—

ROOF PAINTING than any one else.

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

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 ba 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
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.

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 w r ork 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,
