The Old Woman and Her Broom.
Notwithstanding its promises relative
to the gubernatorial race, today’s Macon
Telegraph uses its local columns in a fee
ble attempt to show that the Candler boom
is Hable to fall to pieces of its own weight
before very long. ,
It dignifies Its article by the use of
double-lrads and quotes “A Georgian of
prominence and considerable experience
In politics" to how that there is "a big
revolt against the Idea that It is all fixed,”
and that "it is too unanimous bo be
healthy."
The "Georgian of prominence” who
stuffed the Telegraph’!, willing ears iso full
of nonai n.se Is Willie M. Toomer, of Way
cross, formerly court stenographer and af
terwards Judge Sweat’s solicitor general.
What he doesn’t know about Georgia port
tics would equip a public library, but the
Telegraph cares nothing for that, just so
long as ne spouts to dts liking. And this
is what he said:
"I understand ’that It. Is believed in At
lanta by many good people that the gov
ernorship for several terms to come, and
two terms fe>r senator, have been slated.
Here it is six months before the state
convention assembles and we hear it said
that it Is all settled now. Certain men
and certain newspapers can name t*> gov
ernor and everything else In sight. Per
haps some of them could name the next
two governors and the next two United
States senators—-at least, they think they
can. There is mi doubt alxmt it, the
thing is too unanimous among the .politi
cians, The people are getting somewhat
alarmed about it. I hear the same talk In
Atlanta, In Macon, in Savannah, in Way
cross, in Brunswick, and in other commu
nities I have visited lately."
Booth! Going to frighten the people into
a revolt, oh? Going to make them believe
that somebody Is “fixing things” for the
ind< Unite control of Georgia ipolitics. This
ds too bad. But nn Georgian of any res
pectability Is going to pay any attention
to It until he gets it from better authority
than the Macon Republican organ.
However, this sort of thing cannot hurt
Candler. Anything that the Telegraph
may say in disparagement of him. either
la its local columns or editorially, will
only help him with the people.
(But, in the meantime, people cannot fail
to be amused at the olid woman’s effort at
sweeping back the sea with a broom. The
Candler tidal wave has already swept
everything before It, and it is not likely
that a querulous old girl like the Tele
graph can stop It.
The state is so unanimous for Candler
because the people recognize In him the
best man available for the governorship,
and see no one else who can possibly de
feat him or who could better serve the
state. That’s the “hidden meaning" of the
Candler boom. But it Is quite apparent
to all, except those who will not see. In
the meantime, we 'hope the Telegraph .will
continue in Its effort to sweep back the
Candler tidal wave. It will only get wet
for Its trouble, but it will make the elec
tion of Candler all the more certain and
enthusiastic.
Rays the Rome Commercial: “The abol
ition of child labor in the factories is
bound to come in Georgia. The state press
is taking the matter up and the issue will
be forced. This curse to humanity should
not .be permitted within the bounds of our
state, and it will be stopped sooner or
later. The Issue has come to stay.”
Only One Place Left.
Alas! alas! that it should come to this.
Like the horse, man. proud man. has been
crowded out of the arena. At least it is
•so in one state of the Union. And that
state is Colorado. That paradise of wo
man suffragists. Man has been dethroned
and now he is a suppliant. The tables
have been turned, and man has been rel
egated to the rear. As an exchange pa
thetically puts it. the down-trodden, be
irouserefi worms of creation out West have
■been unceremoniously ousted from. those
bread-winning vocations in which they
once were “the while thing."
This pitiable spectacle has been brought
to Ight by the following resolution pre
sented at the closing session of a recent
meting of the State Teachers’ Association
of Colorado:
Resolved, That it Is the sense of this
association that 'better educational results
would be obtained if. beginning with the
fifth grade, some of the teachers employed
In the grammar schools should be males.*’
To appreciate the subtle significance of
this resolution, says the Denver News,
■which tells the sad. sad story, one must
bear In mind that Colorado is 'the paradise
of equal suffragists; that. In short, the
state is practically run by an invincible
armj of pettieoated voters, who have
things their own way. Thev vote teach
schools, keep books, sell goods, physic the
eick, preach to sinners, conduct law cases,
superintend mines, bury the dead, baptize
the living, and fill any kind of elective or
appointive office, state, county or muni
cipal.
In view of nhe ruthless manner in
which the once weak but now dominant
sex has thrust the other half into the
background and captured the reins of gox -
eminent and the lucrative posts, there is
a certain exquisite pathos in the resolu
tion quoted, It being, as our Denver con
temporary so feelingly points out, the last
expiring struggle for recognition of a sex
which once proudly boasted of its lordship
over the whole created universe. “Ob
serve," seys our contemporary with subtle
fineness of discrimination, “the humble
deference with which the suggestion is ad
vanced. Note that nowhere does the res
olution arrogate to itself the positive
terms of the idicative mood, but is couch
ed In the meek indecision of the subjunc
tive.”
Mr. McKinley, while a member of the
House, at one time voted for the exact
resolution that yesterday passed the Sen
ate. This time, however, he was opposed
to It. Cause why?
Idle Rumor*.
It 1* unfortunately true that all epidem
ics or threatened epidemics are made more
hurtful to a community by reason of the
idle rumors that invariably become cur
rent at such times. The appearance of
smallpox in Macon, for instance, has given
rise to numerous rumors that have abso
lutely no foundation, and, as a rule, most
people usually accept these rumors as true
until they are utterly disproven.
Not only do these rumors work an injus
tice to the community at large, but, as
has been so in this instance, individuals
are also seriously injured thereby. For
instance, publicity has been given to a
story that Miss Kate Knox, the Magnolia
street patient, caught the disease by try
ing on a dress which had been sent to the
Empire Store by a Griffin lady to be re
moddled. The Empire Store's books, how
ever. stow that no dress has been received
during the last three years by its dress
making department from Griffin, Atlanta
or any other infected town, so that the
story is a clear fabrication.
The proprietors of the Empire Store, la
a card in today’s News, through a desire
to be entirely candid with the purilie, very
frankly state that the rumor may have
grown out of an order received from For
sytn in November last under circum
stances similar to those related in connec
tion with the Griffin story. As Forsyth is
not an infected town, however, and as Che
lady from whom the dress was received
is now and has been entirely healthy, and
as the disease would have made Its ap
pearance within a few days, instead of a
few months later, had Miss Knox then be
come infected, very little Importance will
be attached to the Forsyth incident, al
though it is to the credit of the proprietors
of the Empire store that they are deter
mined to be scrupulously frank with the
public.
The Injury, however. Is done, and it will
cumstances indicate that her connection
straight. So far as The News has been
able to see. there has been no occasion for
any reference to or any rumors connect
ing the Empire Store with Miss Konx's
ease, except in an incidental way. The
voung lady was simply employed there and
actually had less to do with the handling
of goods and came less in contact with
customers than almost anyone else in the
establishment. Where she took the dis
ease is still a mystery, but none of the cir
with it, or that anyone else connected with
with the Empire Store hiad anything to do
with it. or that anyone else conected with
the store or any patron of the store is in
any way affected by the occurrence.
Yet the rumor fiend would make it ap
pear that the whole place is infected and
that one after another of the employes of
the store have succumbed to the disease.
In simple justice to a business enter
prise that is of great value and importance
to Macon. The News would correct these
utterly false reports. The Board of Health
carefully considered the entire matter on
the very day that iMiss Knox's case was
announced, and expert opinion agreed that
there was absolutely no occasion tor alarm
in that quarter. This, it seems to us.
should be sufficient.
In justice to the proprietors of the Em
pire Store it should be said, too, that they
have attemipted to conceal nothing with
reference to Miss Knox’s case. Mr. Bur
den. the head of the firm, called in person
at The Nsw office within an hour after
Miss Knox’s case was announced, and
made a full and franfk statement as to her
connection with the store. He thought it
best to give the public the benefit of all
the facts, and frankly said he had noth
ing to conceal, even though it might mean
great loss to him. Fully understanding
the nature of Miss Knox’s duties, and bow
little danger attached to others by reason
of her (presence in the establishment, The
News, rather against Mr. Burden's own
wishes, decided to withhold all mention of
the Empire Store In connection with the
case until the Board o>f Health should de
cide that afternoon whether or not the
matter deserved to be noticed. The Board
saw no reason why the Empire Store
should be so embarrassed, ami the wisdom
of its course has been fully established by
what has since transpired.
There has been no effort on the part of
anyone to deceive the public, but merely
to refrain from giving publicity to unnec
essary details that could only work an in
jury to some and no possible good to any
one. It is the same consideration that
would be shown anyone else under similar
circumstances, and it is to be regretted
that, others have seen fit to act in a dif
ferent spirit.
The outcome of the pursuance of a wrong
course 'has been the publication of an un
founded rumor and giving rise to others
equally as idle, but just a« hurtful.
The public may rest assured that the
Board of Health will treat with this
threatened epidemic in the most approved
manner (so far as It is allowed to do so
by council) and that no facts worthy of
note will be concealed. The News has
already promised, and again reiterates it,
to give the public truthful reports con
cerning the progress of the disease in
Macon. It will not, however, publish idle
rumors, nor any rumor that has not been
fully established through personal inves
tigation and by unquestionable evidence.
Secretary Gage has introduced a bill
into Congress providing for an increase of
the fractional silver coins. His idea is to use
this increase for the purpose of decreasing
the circulation at Sherman treasury notes.
In other words limited legal tender silver
coins are to be used for the redemption
of unlimited legal tender treasury notes.
If the secretary considers this a legal
method of redemption, then why should
not greenbacks and other notes issued by
the government 'be redeemed in unlimited
legal tender silver dollars, persistently
asks the Buffalo Times.
Again it is reported that Secretary Gage
has tendered his resignation to the presi
dent because of the opposition of Western
Republican senators to his financial
schemes. We are rather inclined to think
somebody Is getting their dates mixed. It
would be more in order, for instance, for
McKinley to tender his resignation to
Secretary Gage.
Says the Griffin News and Sun: “If
there has been any lingering doubt in any
honest mind that Mark Hanna's election
to the senate was secured by corruption
and bribery, his friends and attorneys
have completely removed that doubt by
their efforts to prevent an investigation.
Such efforts of concealment are a confes
sion of guilt.”
The death of Hon. T. M. Fodey. of Co
lumbus. is .peculiarly sad. and by it that
city suffers a distinct loss. Tobe Foley
was a man with a Ibig heart, an active
brain and unlimited energy and public
spirit. His memory will be cherished by
those who knew him well, and his death
will carry sorrow to many hearts.
The action of the Kentucky Legislature
in calling on Senator Lindsay to resign
his seat in Congress if he cannot support
the Chicago Democratic platform Is a new
proof of what tthe gold , papers axe accus
tomed to call “tthe subsidence of the sil
ver mania," remarks the Columbia (S. C.)
State.
Mr. A. A. Murphey, a prominent Pop
ulist. in a recent interview stated that tihe
Populists would certainly nominate Thos.
E. Watson tor governor. It occurs to us
that the Hon. Tom has done his full share
of the sacrificial lamb business. Why not
break in a new one?
The Macon Telegraph applauds every
utterance of McKinley and denounces
Bryan every time he opens his mouth.
This is the sort of Democratic paper the
Republicans want.
At the Jackson Day banquet in Chicago
WiHiam J. Bryan said; “It is more im
portant that we support our newspapers
than that we assemble at banquets.”
The refusal of the Hon. Hut Jenkins
to run for governor removes the las. sus
picious case, and the Hon. Allen D. Cand
ler can now slow down to a canter.
The Teller resolution passed the Senate
yestenday by a vote of 47 to 32. It is in
order for someone to again announce the
death of the silver issue.
Hurrah For McKinley.
We find in this morning's Macon Tele
graph, a newspaper that has stolen the
cloak of Democracy to serve Republican
ism in, the following enthusiastic endorse
went of what it calls “The McKinley
Policy: ”
“It is well that the head of a great na
tion should thus take the people into his
confidence. Nothing is so distressing to
business men as lack of assurance as to
what the course of the government will
be under given conditions, it is this un
certainty which has wrought havoc among
American enterprise, whicn has kept mills
idle, which has caused capital to remain
in safety vaults and which has forced men
to refrain from investments. An adminis
tration that is not conducted upon definite
and logical rules is far worse than one
which stands upou erroneous propositions.
A president who hesitates, recants, wavers
and moves from side to side is a curse to
those whose interests he has been elected
to stand guard, but he president tyho is
bold and irank and sincere will win ap
probation though his policies may be re
jected in the end.”
We offer a year’s subscrip..on to the
only Democratic paper in Macon to any
one who can find in any issue of the Ma
con Telegraph for the past year, or in all
of them put together, the same amount of
praise of the Democratic party or any of
its leaders.
A PATHETIC INCIDENT.
Judge Sampson W. Harris Relates an Inci
dent of the Late War.
From the LaGrange Reporter.
Judge Sampson W. Harris came down
from Carrollton Monday on business, and
wh.le here talking to a crowd of gentle
men, among whom was a representative
of the Reporter, he related a story of the
late war which is lull of pathos and from
it sprung a friendship the ties of which
will never bebroken.
Judge Harris said: “I had been severely
wounded before the surrender at Appo
mattox and at the close of the war the
Yankees put me aboard a steamer and sunt
me to Savannah. I was still suffering
greatly from my wound and had to be lift
ed about, being unable In any way to help
myseli. Upon my arrival at Savannah 1
was carried from the boat by a negro and
laid upon the sidewalk, where I was left.
Many people passed by me, only turning
their Heads for a moment and then pass
ing on. I lay there without a cent in the
world, friendless and several hundred
miles from home. The heat of the sun
was terrible, and I had begun to 'think that
my hours were numbered.
"Presently I noticed a man dressed in
a Confederate artillery uniform looking
at me. He came up to me and questioned
me about my condition. 1 told him my
name, etc., and informed him that I was
very anxious to get home. He said that
there were five or six thousand wounded
and sick confederates in the city and they
were ail waiting to be carried home in a
small boat which the Yankess were run
nig between Savannah and Augusta, and
which could only accommodate about one
hundred men and was making two trips a
week.” The judge added that the railroads
were all torn up, telegraph communication
was cut off altogether and no message
could be sent home. He continued by say
ing: “The sympathetic soldier, realizing
that it would not do for me to be left
there, told me that he had met up with a
friend a day or two before who had loan
id him enough money to hire a wagon on
which he and several comrades were go
ing to make the trip to Waynesboro, 100
miles distant, where they could go home
by rail.” "iNow,” said the brave artillery
man, “I want you to take my place in the
wagon and 1 will walk.”
“What is your name?” I asked.
“My name is Mark Hardin.”
“We made the trip to Waynesboro safely
'Mark Hardin walking the entire way and
looking after my wants, one whom he had
never seen before, and I soon reached my
home.”
“Judge Harris,” asked a bystander, “it
is probable that you will vote for Uncle
Mark tor secretary of state, isn’t it?”
“Yes," replied the Judge, “if necessary,
I would crawl upon my knees from here
to Atlanta for him.”
A few tears were formed in the eyes of
Judge Harris as he finished the little in
cident.

Formally Announces His Can

of Agriculture.
anethe ?yq MLoa uttooa el glNawdero
Hou. O. B. Stevens today lormaliy an
nounced his candidacy tor commisßiontT
of agriculture in the following clear-cut
card to the public:
Dawson, Ga., 25, 1898.
Yielding to the soilcitation of my friends
and .fellow citizens, uae sincerity of whose
partiality and .pretfereuce 1 am not dis
posed to treat lightly, 1 have concluded to
announce myseli a candidate for the office
of Commissioner of Agriculture, subject
to the ratiiicauon of the State Democracy
in its party capacity. These pledges of
suipport and expressions ck conlidence
have come from every section of the state,
and impress me as being iso representa
tive in character as to fully justify this
announcement. It is needless to say that
1 am duiy grateful for these indications
of appreciation, and assurances of sup
port, and that however the issue may re
sult, 1 (shall at least feel myself honored
by the consideration tlhus shown me. 9
In giving formal publicity to my can
didacy, I desire to state that I am ac
tuated by m> feeling of personal antagon
ism towards my honorable competitors,
and if my power to prevent it, no unpleas
ant personalities nor irritating issues shall
be injected into the campaign. I shall use
all honoraole means in promoting my can
didacy, having done which, 1 shall be per
fectly w illing for the people to pass upon
my claims as their partiality and judg
ment may incline them, and in advance,
pledge .myself to accept in good part their
verdict, whatever it may ibe.
I presume, however, it would be pardon
able .tor me to mention the (fact that rota
tion in office is one of the time-honored
customs of the Democratic party, and that
there are numerous instances where the
public service has (been immeasurably
benefited by placing limitations upon the
official tenure of our public servants. The
tendency of party and state at the present
time seems to be still more in this direc
tion, and beneficial results are the conse
quence. Therefore, in entering this race,
I do not feel that I ought to be regarded
as a tresspasser, as it is the right of every
good Democrat to submit his claims and
aspirations to the party for approval or
rejection, and bis duty io abide its verdict,
and this is all 1 presume o do.
Regar-ng my qualifications tor the of
fice of Commissioner of Agriculture, I
may be pardondd tor saying that I am a
practical farmer. Farming has been my
leading occupation tor thirty-five years,
and, having been born and reared upon a
farm, every detail of farm life has de
manded and received my .personal atten
tion. If the practical knowledge thus
gained shall be deemed of value and im
portance in considering my fitness for the
place, I shall be gratified. If the people
of Georgia believe I can aid them by ad
ministering the affairs of this important
department in which all classes are more
or less vitally interested, I shall be glad
to serve them. If elected, I promise a
faithful, honest, economic and 'business
like administration, and assure them that
no interest afiecting their welfare or prog
ress shall be neglected. Very truly,
