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. <L -N- 3.-iL X - nebs- . simile ' h c 5 csitarf /•' srer * Have your magazines rebound by The hinder* R.

STEVENS Formally Announces His Can didacy For Commissioner 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, O. B.
