For Commisioner of Agriculture, G. B bTtVtNb, of Terrell For School Commies oner, G. R. DLLNN, of Bibb. Candlerand Harmony. The enthusiasm which the suggestion of a Candler Club has aroused in -Macon is conclusive* evdtnee of the fact that old Bibb is golag to give Allen D. Candler a rousing majori'y. Not only is he already assured of her vole in the state conven tion, but the Indications are that Bibb will be the banni r IX-mocratic county this year. There is practically no dissension in local party ranks. The name of Candler is itself suggestive of harmony and good spirit and all classes of Bibb democrats seem eager to accept him as governor. Never before has it ibeen possible to so easily harmonize the different factions in this county. So intense has the feeling been at times heretofore that some have even shown a disposition to ignore party lines, and many have refused to accept the party nominees. But they all recognize in Allen D. Candler a man who is without an objec tionable quality, and almost unanimuosly the people of Bibb county are for him. The outlook is that this sentiment will find expression in the organization of a Candler Club tonight. Already several hundred names have been enrolled, and tonight’s meeting will, in all probability, be a large and enthusiastic one. Every Democrat who favors the nomi nation of Allen I). Candler should be pres ent at the court house tonight. Let’s make it a rousing meeting, and at the outset snow under any opposition that may be attempted. lUn ember the hour, 8 o’clock—at the court house. The declaration of Senator Hoar upon the floor of the Senate, that- the financial question would be the issue in the cam paign of 1 900. was pleasing news to the Democratic senators. They have believed for some time that, the liepublicans would endeavor to trump up some other so called issue, to draw’ the minds of t.he voters away from the issue of greatest importance to the people. Coming from a man of his standing in the party, the announcement may be considered author itative. Progress of Combination. Not satisfied with their already enorm ous railroad holding the Vanderbilts are reaching oue for more mileage and the combination goes on apace. It is said that J. Pierpont Morgan is the controlling spirit in combinations of capital, owning more than fiftey thousand miles of roads, which is more than one-fourth of the total mileage of the United States. Other gigantic corporations are gather ing other roads and it. will be but a few years until the dominant, transportation companies in the United States can be counted on the fingers of the hand. What is true of the railroads is true of every line of business. It is an age of combina tion and it Is the natural result of the industrial conditions that obtain in this conntry.—Ohattannoga News. And still the work of monopoly goes on, undisturbed by federal or state laws, al though struts legislatures have repeatedly attempted to put an end to this iniquitous business. Now. however, the ' deral government s to be asked to interfere in behalf c’ the people. ’’’he bill introduced in Con gre s by Repn sentativc Green will have the desired effect, if the Republican party has the courage to make it a law. It is clear to any thinking man that the trusts and combines are inimieable to the welfare of this country, and common sense demands that a stop be put to their nefa rious business. Either Congress must find a remedy, or else the people will resort to socialism The solution must be reached peaceably and regularly, or else history will repeat itself. The people may submit for a time, but once they have become convinced that no relief can expected from our law-mak inf bodies, they will take the matter into their own hands. Arizona, New Mexico. Oklahoma and Indian Territory, all knocking at the door of the Unnion for admittance, have all been turned down by the House of Reed. And yet these henchmen of ’ plutocracy have the audacity to insult the intelli gence and patriotism of the people by the hypocritical pretense of being their friends. Latest Church Statistics, The annual compilation of church sta tistics made by the New York indeptn shows that about c-ie-hurd of The 25.9919,027 communicants in the United States, are Roman Catholics The most numerous Protestant denomination is the -It .hodiits, With 5,735, S9S while the Bap tists are secoul (includrae* the r mut.f i nous subdivisions,) with 4,175,300. The next in order are the Lutherans, with 1- 507.406, and then follow the Presbyterians, who number 1,490.162; the Decipies of Christ with a total of-. 051,079; the Epis copalians. with 658,640. and the Congrega tionalists, with 630.000. The numerical equauity of the last two churches has been continued for a number of years, though the Episcopalians appear to be gaining a little on their Puritan brethren. The Unitarians, despite their recent efforts to Increase the number of their adherents, are practically at a standstill, with only 70,000 members, while there are but 51,- 025 Universalists all told. The total num ber of communicants in all the churches is enormous—more than twenty-five millions; but that is scarcely more than one-third of the population of the whole country. What is the religious status of the other fifty million? Admiral Si card will take care that his fleet, in its evolutions, does not call’d? ■with the coast of Cuba, cautions the Phil adelphia Public Ledger. A High Compliment. The Augusta Federation of Labor, com prising all the labor unions of Augusta, has taken occasion to pay a most graceful compliment to Miss Mary Lamar Patter on, the talented society editor of The News. in recognition of her recent article on “Child Labor In the Mills.” Not since Miss Clare De Graffcnreid wrote on labor conditions in the South has any article on a similar line attracted so much attention as has the article by Miss Patterson, which recently appeared in The News and other papers. It has aroused much interest in the child labor question, and many newspapers have stated that it is the beginning of an agita tion that will eventually bring about the abolishment of child labor in Georgia. A large number of Georgia newspapers ha\e commented at length and most fa vorably on Miss Patterson's article, and The News has received requests from far and near for copies of the paper contain ing the article in question. So much in terest has been shown that The News con templates publishing the article in pamphlet form for tree distribution, in the hope of agitating this needed reform more vigorously. As evidence of the great interest shown by laboring people themselves in Miss Patterson s article, the Augusta Federa tion of Labor has unanimously passed a resolution thanking the lady for her efforts iu behalf of labor and inviting her to de liver the next Labor Day address in that city. As Miss Patterson is not an orator, it ’*lll, of course, be impossible for her io address the laboring people of Augusta, but the compliment jraiM her by them is none the less appreciated. Like a great many other good women in Georgia, Miss 1 a-terson secs the need for reform in this quarter and she has the courage and ability to express herself in a most forci ble way though not from the platform. Says the Brunswick Advertiser: “That " Candida y of Hon. Allen D. Candler, in the face of sticug official combinations, and as settled convictions of other poli- 1 *al strength, should have been received wi.h such general satisfaction from one f * < 1 of the state to another, and breaking over lines of well sustained local influ ences. is an unusual compliment to m--n seeking popular favor in these (lays. There is the verberation and rythm of the peo ple's desires in this quick acknowledgment of gratification, and a sounding of victory for the Democratic party in Georgia, such as has not been recorded in many years, and we hope ireans a lessening of the family friction.” The principal object in life which the Republican party seems to have just now is to make capital for Democracy, and pile up its chances for a heavy majority in the next House. Upon every question that has come up in Congress since the Cleveland contingent administration came into pow er, except a single one, in which the in terests of the people and the welfare of the country were involved, they have with great unanimity stood by plutocracy in upholding the robber trusts and thieving combines. Speaking of the best iwipers for adver tisers, (Printers Ink recer tly said: “They are evening papers of high character and have a worth to advertisers beyond the mere figure of their daily circulation. They have no waste circulation.” Senator Lindsay refuses to accept the resignation tendered him by the Kentucky Legislature, mentions thePlttsburg Chron icle-Teli graph. Now that the City of Macon has arrived at Brunswick, we may expect to hear the Croakers predict that she will never get back. Judging from developments, the slogan of New Jersey polities 'this winter will be “Stop thief!” thinks the Philadelphia Ledger. Join the Candler Club and help to make the nomination of Allen D. Candler unan imous. It begins to look like everyone connected with that Kimball House conference is ashamed of it. Go out to the court house tonight. The Candler band wagon is big enough for all.

The close observer will be surprised at its brief duration. They are not sub ject to “nerves” like human beings. A par:ridge, after running (or rather flying) the gantlet of naif a dozen guns—if we may be allowed to mixed metaphor—drops on the other side of the hedge and begins calmly to peck as if nothing had happen ed.

As announced exclusively in Macon by The News, a few days ago, a strong com pany of Southern and Northern men com bined, has been formed to introduce dur ing the coming month of May the first se ries of annual musical festivals to be given each May in twelve Soutnern cities. This company will be known as the J. S. At kinson & Co., and are backed by years of experience and ample capital to make the enterprise a success. They have already secured their company forty of the finest musicians ever brought to the South, pick ed from among the celebrities of the North and West. Their Prima Donna Soprana will be Mlle. Alice Verlet, of the Opera Comique, of Paris, w'ho has made such a phenomenal success during her two years stay in America. Mr. Atkinson is no stranger to the South or to Macon, being well known as the manager of the Southeastern Lyceum i Association, of Raleigh, N. C-, and who i supplied Macon with such a musical treat i in tfh visit of the great violinist Edouard Rcmenyi, last season. He has recently closed contracts for these festivals in i Nashville, Knoxville, and Atlanta, and has spent a part of this week in Macon in con sultation with the officials of the Young Men’s Christian Association, with the re sult that those energetic gentlemen will have charge of this great musical event in . Macon, which in itself is a guarantee that it will be a complete success. President T J. C. Park, General Sec- . retary Stacy and Mr. F. R. Jones, of the educaLonal roinmittee. who win have the active management of the festival, have investigated thoroughly the artists engag ed for the festival and pronounce them of the highest order, and Macon may well be proud .to have such an event in her his tory. Cnly four festivals will be given in Georgia, in Atlanta, Macon, Augusta and Savannah, and if it proves a success, as it undoubtedly will, it will be made a perma nent thing, just as are held every year in Cincinnati, and in ail the principal cities of the Norht and East. Macon and the South are entitled to just as fine entertainments as these places, and can have them just as well as not, and the Young Men’s Christian Association should be heartily upheld in their laudable en deavor to furnish us with such an attrac tion as this. The News will keep the public fully advised as to the particulars, as the fur ther developments t-.re perfected. NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS. One Cause of Sleeplessness that can be Readily Overcome. Mr. William Handschu, of 46th St. Cot ton Alley, Pittsburg, Pa. expresses him self as follows regardingthe new remedy for that common and obstinate disease, piles; I take pleasure in stating that 1 was so afflicted with piles that for three months I got no regular sleep; I became completely prostrated, the doctors did me no good; my brother told me of the new remedy for piles, the Pyramid Pile Cure; I purchased from my druggist three 50c boxes and they completely cured me. I am once more at my work and but for this excellent medicine I would be on my back. I take great pleasure in writing this letter because so many people are sufierers from this trouble, who, like myself, did not know where to look for a permanent, re liable safe cure. Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure for the past three years has demonstrated to the medical profession, as well as to thousands of sufferers from piles, that it is the safest and most effectual pile cure ever offered to the public, containing no opiates or poisons of any kind, painless and convenient to handle and being sold by druggists at 50c and $1 per box, is within the reach of every sufferer. Very frequentlyy two or three boxes have made a complete cure of chronic cases that had not yielded to other remedy for years. There is scarcely a disease more aggra vating and obstinate to cure than the various forms of piles and it is the com mon practice to use ointments, salves and similar preparations containing dangerous poisons to remove the trouble. The Pyra mid has superceded all of these ineffectual remedies and no one suffering with any rectal trouble will make any mistake in giving the Pyramid a trial. If in doubt as to the nature of your trouble send to he Pyramid Drug Co , Marshall, Mich., for a valuable little book on piles, describing all forms of the dis ease and describing the methods of cure. Any druggist can furnish the Pyramid Pile Cure, as it is the best known and most popular remedy for piles, and if you ask him he can doubtless refer you to many people in your vicinity who have been cured completely by it.

A Strong Woman Created a Scene for Amazed Bystanders. New York. Feb. 4.—'Miss Edith Thomp son has a grievance—a somewhat unique grievance. Edith, who is b* sutiful and just out of her “teens,” lives "with her pa rents in Hollis, L. I. She has brought suit before Justice B. Frank Wood, in Jamaica, Borough of Queens, for the humiliation inflicted upon her by Mrs. Annie Scholl, of the same place. Mrs. School is a robust woman, well able to batle with almost any of her sex, and is not a person -who will allow an in sult to go unresented. The story is that Miss Thompson said some unpleasant things about Mrs. Scholl, and when they met in Jamaica avenue there was a scuffle. Miss Thompson was sauntering along the avenue with another young woman, when, it is alleged, she made the remark: “There she goes.” Scarcely had the echo of Miss Thomp son’s words died away when Mrs. Scholl, with the spring of an angry tigress, pounc ed upon Miss Thompson and placing the young woman across her knee, as if she were a mere child, who had violated some rule in a country school, spanked her with might and main. Several persons were strolling along the avenue at the time, and they were scan dalized by Miss Scholl’s method of inflict ing punishment. It was not the chastise ment nor the injury inflicted that prompt ed Miss Thompson to obtain a warrant for Mrs. Scholl’s arrest, but the humiliatim; and notoriety she suffered as a result of what she declares was an unprovoked as sault. (Mrs. Scholl was arrested. Consumption Positively Cored. Mr. R- B.

The quarantine convention to be held in Mobile, Ala., February 9th, promises to be of great interest. The object of the convention is the study of quarantine in its relations to epidemic diseases in gen eral, and to yellow fever especially. It is the intention to have present at the in vestigation representatives from nearly every profession. It was thought by having the conven tion composed of lawyers, physicians, ministers, railroad officials, journalists, merchants and representatives from the national and state governments, the sub jects for discussion would be considered broadly and practically, and with the sole purpose of reaching the wisest solutions. The national quarantine question will occupy a large portion of the time during the convention. This question has been discussed throughout the country and has many advocates. Os the governors who will attend the convention three favor a national quarantine, while two favor local control. UNION SAVINGS BANK AND TRUST :<JOM PANA MACON, GA. Safety Deposit Boxes For Rent. J.
