What Macon Can Do.
All of the trade journals note a new era
of industrial development in North Caro
lina. It is a matter of pointed interest to
Macon to know that this new impetus to
the industrial development of that stAte is
due to the introduction of the transmis
sion of power by electricity, enabling the
citizens of that state to utilize the almost
inexhaustible power to be found in the
rivers flowing from the mountains to the
sea. „ ,
An article in the Manufacturer’s Record
telling of this new era of industrial de
velopment in Noth Carolina only demon
strates what Macon ‘‘M do if she but
turn her attention to the development of
the vast power that the Ocmulgee river
offers her.
Macon is even more fortunately situated
than the North Carolina towns that have
been so greatly benefited by the develop
ment of power in that state. She has this
power right at her doors, whereas Winston
and Salem were forced to go thirteen or
fourteen miles for it.
The Manufacturer's Record states that
the development of power which has done
so much for Winston and Salem was in
augurated in 1897 by the Fries Manufac
turing and Power Company, o. Salem, for
■the pur.pose of transmitting power from
the Yadkin river to the towns of Winston
and Salem, a distance of thirteen and one
half miles. . i
The channel of the river at this point ,
was widened and the power-house built ■
upon solid rock. This power-house is a
building 36x145 feet and contains eight
54-inch McCormick wheels and two gov
ernors. The generator-house is at the
end of the power-house and will contain
a 1,000-horse-power generator. The dam
is of solid masonry 500 feet, long, ten feet
high, and it is estimated that the total
amount, of power to be transmitted will be
from 2,000 to 2,500 horse-power. The pres- ,
ent development represents 1,000 horse
power, but the buildings have capacity (
for another line of eight turbine wheels I
and another generator of sufficient capa
city to utilize the entire water flow at this
point. The electricity is generated and
will be transmitted at 10.000 volts. In the
town of Salem there is a sub-station from ■
which the individual lines will conduct |
the electricity to the various manufactur- ;
ing plants of" the city. Among the plants ■
which have already contracted for the ;
power are two cotton mills, one grain mill,
one woolen mill, one planing mill, one ma
chine shop, one electric light and power
station for the furnishing of incandescent
and arc lights and the running of the
street railway, the city water works and
also a large fertilizer plant which has just
located here. Other industries are now
contemplating the use of this power, and
the probabilities are that within a few
months the present amount now trans
mitted will be consumed; there will re
main then 1,000 to 1.500 horse-power for
future sale and the same will be trans
mitted as soon as a demand is created.
The price at which this power is furnish
ed varies according to the size of the
plant, but in all cases the price is reason
able. and investors looking for the loca
tion of a plant would do well to examine
carefully into this location before deciding
upon other points.
The Record states that the towns to be
supplied by this electric current have sur
passed in growth the expectations of their
citizens and the public. Where twenty
years ago there was a community of a few
thousand there is now a city of over 16,-
000. with paved streets, electric lights,
complete systems of water supply and
sewerage, manufacturing establishments
for cotton and wool, grain mills, numerous
tobacco factories, machine shops, fertilizer
plants, wagon factories, furniture facto
ries and many smaller industries which
contribute to the support of the people and
furnish employment to several hundred
persons who are traveling from this point
selling the product of the forty tobacco
factories throughout the entire Union.
It is not difficult to understand what
would be the effect on Macon of such a
movement. It would bring scores of new
factories here and create a new era of
industrial development in this city. North
Carolina is growing and prospering in
dustrially. because she is profiting by her
natural advantages for furnishing cheap
power. Macon can do the same, and, be
sides. furnish the raw material for the
manufacture of almosb everythir g that the
people of this section now buy from
Northern manufacturers.
Chairman Clay Will Retire.
A Washington dispatch states that Sen
ator day, who is also chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee of Geor
gia, will call a meeting of the committee
to be held in Atlanta the first week in
'March.
In speaking of the meeting of the com
' mittee, Senator Clay said:
“This will be my last official act in eon
! necticm with the state committee; for I
will, under no circumstances, be a candi
date for re-election as chairman. I would
have resigned the chairmanship when I
i was elctcd to the senate bad it not been
i for the fact that the committee practically
finished, with the close of the last state
; campaign, the work for which it was cre
ated. and there was nothing for me, as
I chairman, to do but issue the formal call
for the next state cor.vinuicn. This wilt
. he done at the committee meeting to be
, held in .Atlanta during the- first week in
| March. My service as chairman of the
i committee lias been practically pleasant to
' me, and if I have met the expectation of
\ the party in fulfilling the duties required
I of one placed in so responsible a position,
lam more than satisfied. As to the chair
manship for the next two years, that is a
matter for the state convention, the chair
man of which is ex-officio chairman of the
j state committee until his successor is cho
sen.”
In deciding to resign the state chairman
! ship Senator Clay is acting wisely and in
good taste. He is also wise in arranging
for an early line-up of the Democratic
forces, in view of the fact that the Pop
ulists are already showing unusual activ
ity and will hold their state convention
earlier than ever before.
The Populists are eager to make the fight
of their lives this year, and this makes it
all the more necessary that the Democrat
ic forces be put early in the field —and that
the Democratic Banner be placed in the
hands of a man who is above reproach.
Senator Clay will see to the first matter
and the Democrats of Georgia will attend
to the latter by nominating ‘Allen D.
Candler.
Australia Burning Up.
Down in the southern hemisphere it is
row midsummer, and they are having a
dose of it, notes the Toledo Blade. Aus
tralia is suffering under conditions of tor
ridity which are intolerable. In different
parts of that continent the temperature in
the sun ranges from 110 to 150. People
are dying of the heat, and vegetation is
burning up. And this is the third year oi
such abnormal summer temperature at
the antipodes.
Some people are arguing that this in
creased intensity of summer heat in Aus
tralia is part of a great climatic change
in. the southern hemisphere. There are
no good grounds for so rash a generaliza
tion. There are no reports of abnormal
warmth in any other section of that half
of the world. But it is a legitimate con
clusion that next summer is likely to be
a het one in the northern hemisphere.
We may have a recurrence of the heat
and dryness we experienced a few years
ago in this latitude.
The 'Madisonian can see as far through
a board fence as anyone. It says: “The
Macon Telegraph has found a prominent
South Georgian who thinks that the peo
ple think it is very curious that the folks
are so unanimous for Candler. The Tele
graph doesn’t give the name of the South
Georgian, but it is probable that it is the
Telegraph, more than the “folks” or the
South Georgian that dislikes this unanimi
ty. Why the Telegraph is not with the
people in this unanimity Is not at all cu
rious. But it would be a genuine curios
ity, if the Telegraph were to ’be found once
with the Democrats in any of the great
vital issues, that distinguish them from the
high-tariff gold-standard Republicans.”
Peter Cooper, who died worth a million
dollars, gave some good advice to the bus
iness men of every town, when he said:
“In all towns where a newspaper is pub
lished, evry man should advertise in it, if
nothing more than a card stating his name
and the business he is engaged in. It
nearly always pays the advertiser, and be
sides let the people at a distance know
that the town in which you reside is a
prosperous community of business men
and that the people may settle in it with a
chance to make a living. Never pull in
your sign in a home paper while you ex
pect to do business.
Says the Athens Banner: “The people of
Georgia have grown resistfully weary of
ring politics and political slate-making,
and have come to the front with the avow
ed purpose of making this the people’s
time to name and make their governor.
This is going to be the people’s year, and
if anybody doubts it they need only to step
aside a little and watch the procession—
headed by the Candler bandwagon, as it
.marches on up to the ballot bexs in Oe
■tober next.”
In a strong editorial the Brunswick
Times advises Judge Spencer Atkinson not
to enter the race for the governorship.
Brunswick is Judge Atkinson’s “home
town,” and the Times is friendly to him,
and would, under other circumstances, no
doubt support him in his political ambi
tion. The editorial in the Times is to the
point and, it is believed, comes near tell
ing the whole truth of the matter as re
gards South Georgia’s position in the gu
bernatorial question.
Lippincott’s Magazine for 1898 will con
tinue to offer in each number a complete
novel, also as much additional reading
matter in selected stories, sketches, essays,
poems, etc., as the average illustrated
magazine contains. Admitting no serials,
it avoids the objection of so many readers
to a continued story. Combining all the
characteristics of a magazine, each num
ber is complete in itself .
Douglas Glessner Is responsible for this
one: “A Kansas City man who was mar
ried recently has relatives in St. Louis
named Damm. At the wedding among the
congratulatory missives read, was a tele
gram from St. Louis saying: ‘Accept con
gratulations cf the whole Damm family.’ ”
Hon. F. G. dußignon will probably go
to Boston early in March to deliver an ad
dress upon the subject of “Free Trade.”
He has received an invitation from the
New England Free Trade League to ad
dress the members of that organization on
some date in March convenient to him.
Tim effort Mr. Watson into the
gubernatorial race will not succeed. In
our opinion, says the Augusta Chronicle,
thtis is to be a year of political harmony.
All parties can unite in support of Allen
D. Candler, and they will do so.
Strange that the Macon Telegraph has
not charged the Republican party with
Populistic tendencies because of the hon
; ors its leaders have showered on Presi-
I dent Dole’s whiskers.

CARD FROM MR. GAGLIARDI.
Evening News: Please give me space in
your paper as I see where you have a
piece in yesterday’s News stating that my
son was guilty of stealing some knives
that were taken from the Fair Store. He
I is not guilty of it, as I have proof that
I Mr. R. F. Smith’s son gave to my son the
I knives in exchange for fruit. There were
two dozen, and my boy thought he would
sell them, which he did. I have a good
witness that saw the boy give the knives
to my son.
Respectfully, C. Gagliardi.
A CARD.

partment and each individual member
'thereof for their gallant services in saving

desire to state to the public that we have

AN IRRELIGIOUS HOUSEHOLD
Will Be the Subject of Dr. J. L. White’s
Subject.
Second of the series of sermons on “The
Household” will be delivered Sunday
morning instead of night at the First
Baptist church. Dr. White yields his pul
pit at night to Mr. Bundiek, the temper
ance lecturer.
Mr. Bundick is a lecturer of great pow
er. None since the days of John B. Gough
have been his equal. His only purpose is
to do good. He is a man with a big heart
and a big brain. Wisdom, wit and pathos
are prominent in his addresses. This is
a rare opportunity to hear a great speech
on a living, burning topic.
Mr. W. T. Bundick will speak in the
First Baptist church tomorrow night. No
admission fee is ever charged to any' ser
