Long Range Water Power.
The development of water power for
electrical transmission seems to be at
tracting considerable attention 'throughout
the South. The matter is of such vast
Importance to Macon that The News feels
it its duty to present to the people of this
community all the argument that is being
advanced along this line.
The Charleston News and Courier Is the
latest newspaper to take up the argument
for the benefit of that city and state. It
sets In the development of water power
for electrical transmission an inestimable
•advantage in the contest for commercial
and industrial supremacy.
Alluding to the movement on foot in At
lanta, Columbus and other cities for the
development of water power for electrical
•transmission, The News and Courier says:
‘‘South Carolina cities and towns and
capitalists will take notice. Columbia and
Anderson are pretty well provided for, by
reason of the pow< rs they have already
developed, but 'there are others within
reach that are now running to waste—-and
that, will surely be harnessed and put to
work, by somebody, within a few years.
Greenville and Spartanburg and Union,
among other places, need to give a thought
to 'the future and provide against sur
prises, or to take advantage of their op
portunlties. The use of water power trans
mitted by wire is practically in its infancy,
but that it has large probabilities Is plain
ly shown by these great projects in other
states. Wise communities in South Caro
lina will look sharply after the water pow
ers anywhere within their reach and got
control of them against the time of need,
if practicable, and even at a cost that now
appears to be excessive. It will be noted
that it is claimed by the promoters of the
Atlanta project that the power they will
command can bo "transmitted sixty-five
miles without. much loss;" meaning that
the energy of a waterfall can already be
employed economically at that distance
from its source. With new- inventions or
further improvements of existing means
and machinery, it may soon be made prac
ticable to extend the limit from sixty-five
miles to 100 miles or 200 or even 500.
' When that day comes, and it is prob
ably near st hand, a great water power
anywhere in the state will be available
for manufacturing purposes anywhere in
the state, and the town or city that can
control such a power for its service will
be highly favored among its neighbors—
and have an advantage that will be of in
estimable value in the contest for indus
trial and commercial supremacy. Even
< harleston .s not excluded by its position
from interest in the situation and condi
tions here outlined. When it shall be
(practicable to transmit power by wire
even 200 miles, economically, it could run
its mills and factories by power drawn
from falls and shoals nearly at the foot
of the mountains! It would be well for our
capitalists and business men to think on
these things. A very little foresight and
forehandedm ss may save us from years of
certain loss and useless regret."
An Ohio man has introduced a bill tn
the state Legislature to prevent the mar
riage of persons who are physically or
mentally unfit for matrimony. It requires
that all persons seeking to marry shall be
refused license unless they shall have first
secured a certificate of fitness from a board
of medical men. for which the bill makes
provision. If a company can be formed to
underwrite the marriage contract, every
thing ought to be made comparatively safe
for the future Ohio bride and groom. At
any rate, there's nothing like going about
these things in a scientific and business
like manner.
Be Frank With the Reporter.
The News has more than once called
attention to the disposition of certain peo
ple to deceive newspaper reporters with
references to matters about which the
public has a right to know. Where actual
deception is not practiced it is sometimes
the habit of some people to refuse to give
■the reporter any information at all, leav
ing him to depend upon such rumors as
he may hear.
The unwisdom of such a course is so ap
parent that it should not need to be dis
cussed, but in a recent address before the
New Orleans Press dub the distinguished
Cardinal Gibbons presents some pointed
fa< ts that are well worth repeating for the
benefit of those who haven't as much
sense as he. Cardinal Gibbons said:
If I had one piece of advice to give a
public man more than another it is, be
frank with the reporter. It has been my
privilege and pleasure to come in contact
with and to know a great lumber of re
porters. I have steadfastly adopted a
policy of absolute frankness with them,
and 1 have yet to have a confidence be
trayed. They have never proven them
selves unworthy of the estimate I placed
on them as gentlemen. It is the public
man who conceals, whose very act of con
cealment is perceived by the reporters
(for in the very nature of their business
they must be quick to perceive)’ it is this
very concealment which induces the re
porter to further conduct his investiga
tions and often get wrong what had he
been in the confidences of the man whose
manner provoked investigation, he would
have understood and written intelligently
about. And it is in this very manner that
much of the complaint against the re
porter originates. Tell the reporters the
absolute truth. Never deceive them.”
The trial of M. Zola in Paris is the
greatest farce that ever disgraced a civil
ized country and outraged an intelligent
people.
The News has never contended that vac
cination is necessary -to render a jackass
Immune. He is so by nature.
Science and Intelligence vs. Ignorance and
Bigotry.
Some recent remarks, entirely conserva
tive and reasonable, which recently ap
peared in The News relative to compul
sory vaccination and urging the necessity
for general vaccination in Georgia, have
called forth a rambling sort of tirade (it
could hardly be called argument) from a
Mr. French Strange, of Atlanta, whose
communication is given space in this
morning s Telegraph.
.Mr. Strange gives rather more spirit to
his card than is necessary, but thir 1-3
probably explained by the fact that a sim
ilar communication to The News, written
by uim, was not given space—for the rea
son that it was not discovered until yes
terday, having been test among exchanges
on the editor’s desk. As is our custom, we
would have given space to the communica
tion today, but for the fact that we see no
occasion to waste courtesy on a discour
teous writer.
After a careful perusal of Mr. Strange's
communication in The Telegraph, we are
forced to admit that it is unanswerable—
because there is nothing in it to answer.
He makes a number of ipse dixit state
ments, without offering anything more
■than his own opinion to substantiate them,
uDd we see no reason why the world
should accept Mr. Strange's opinio«ns in
preference to those of 99 per cent of the
world’s most noted 'scientists, practically
all of the medical profession and of all the
scientific bodies that have given the sub
ject of vaccination serious consideration.
With the experience of Germany, Russia,
France, England, more than half of the
United States and of almost every other
civilized country of the globe, where vac
cination ds practically compulsory, to give
these opinions weight
It is more likely that Mr. Stange is sim
ply one of those skeptics who believe in
nothing that the majority of mankind ac
cept as fact. They are not so much to be
blamed for their peculiarities in this re
spect, because some natural defect has
simply rendered thf m perverse.
Not so much in the spirit of argument,
but merely for the benefit of the few
others who are disposed to discard science
and experience in considering the value of
vaccination, we take the trouble to append
herewith a few questions which Mr. Stange
or anyone else afflicted with the same form
of skepticism may answer if they can:
<Why do the world’s scientists contend
for vaccination.
Why have Germany, Russia, France,
England and ether civilized countries made
it 'practically compulsory?
Why has smallpox practically disappear
from these countries?
Why do the most intelligent physicians
of the day endorse it?
Why do these physicians (after render
ing themselves and their families immune
by constant vaccination) visit and treat
ca.-.i of smallpox with impunity?
Why do trained nurses (after being vac
cinated) do the same?
Why do Boards of Health, Boards of
Education and other intelligent bodies,
whose duly forces them to consider this
matter, demand and enforce vaccination?
Why do the cities of New York, Phila
delphia, Baltimore and all the larger cities
in this country keep "vaccine physicians”
employed and enforce vaccination as an
important health regulations?
Why is no immigrant allowed to enter
th 3 country until successfully vaccinated?
Why is it impossible for smallpox to be
come epidemic in a city or country where
vaccination is practically compulsory?
But why further perplex those who ar
rogate to themselves more wisdom, more
scientific knowledge, more infallibility
than ninety-nine per cent of their fellow
cr.-atures?
We happen to have on our desk the
Medical Record of February sth, which
presents on page 216 ‘‘statlctics concern
ing smallpox and other epidemics as re
ceived in the office of the suprvisinig sur
geon general of the United States Marine
Hospital service during the week ended
January 2S>bh, 1898, which is as follows:
SMALL POX—UNITED STATES.
Alabama Cases.
(Bessemer, January 9 to 26 29
'Birmingham, January 9 to 26 78
Talledega, January 9 to 26 41
'Other points in Jefferson county 25
Georgia. Cases
Atlanta, January 20 to 26 12
The same report shows one case in Chi
na, one in England, none in Germany,
none in 'Russia, none in France, none in
•Spain, none in Italy, and none in any oth
er foreign country except in Cuba, (thirty
six cases) where general vaccination is, of
course, impossible at this time; and in Ja
pan (seventy-six eases) where vaccination
is not compulsory.
So that the United (States, or only two
states thereof, show for two weeks 163
cases, or one-third more than the balance
of the world for more than double the
same period.
It will also be observed that those states
in the Union where smallpox is handled
intelligently, are Quite as free from the
disease as are those foreign countries
where science and intelligence have suc
cessfully combatted ignorance and bigotry.
In other words, where compulsory vac
cination, or some regulation closely ap
proximating i:t, is in vogue, smallpox has
been practically stamped out, but in
Georgia and Alabama where every stub
born or ignorant white man and free ne
gro is allowed to roam at large without
heeding the dictates of science, the disease
nourishes and menaces the welfare of en
tire communities.
THE MISTLETOE BOUGH.
Singular Notions Concerning Its Orig?
and Growth.
The oak long held its place among th<
mystic trees and to injure one was vonsi.;
ered an act of sacrilege, the last surriva
of this being expressed in the saying that
“to cut oak wood is unfortunate.” An in
stance is given as late i;s 1057, where the
cutting down of an oak, to which thi
mystic plant had attached itself, was fol
lowed by most dire consequences. Th:
mistletoe was cut up and sold to apothe
carles in London, but of those who or.

Favorite Prescription is the most wonderful
of ail medicines for women. It fits th m
for wifehood and motherhood. It gives
them strength and vigor where a prospec
tive wife and mother most needs them, and
endows them with the confidence of perfect
health in a womanly way. It acts directly
and only on the child-bearing organism. It
allays inflammation, soothes pain, heals ul
ceration and gives the tortured nerves a
rest It does away with the discomforts of
the expectant period and makes baby’s
coming easy and comparatively painless.
Thousands of women have testified to its
wonderful virtues. All good druggists sell it
and honest dealers will not offer inferior sub
stitutes for the sake of a little extra profit.

an eye, while the man who cut down the

But all legend does not give the oak as
the first bomaof the mistletoe. There were
those who 1 cllovcd that it wm the forbid
den tree in the midst of the garden of Eden,
the tree of the “knowledge of good and
evil,” while still o*'ers claimed that it
vvr.s onre a forest tret . but .he cross having
been made of its w .d it has since the '
cruclfi ion been only a parasite. Just
why it h.is been ecclesiastically excorn- i
municated and excluued from church dea
erations it is Idfimill to say. There is aa
instance on record of its having once been ;
taken in procession to the high altar of
York cathedral, but immediately taken
out again, whereupon a general induig- !
ence and pardon of sins was given at the ■
city gates. Another instance is on record
of its having once h■•< n found among the
decorations of an E.rp' sh church, but by
order of the clergyman immediately taken
down.
Where and when tho custom of kissing I
under the mistletoe originated is also un
certain. Some authorities claim that the
mistletoe was not excluded from the early
church decorations, and that at a certain
part in the service the t'eople were allowed
to embrace and ki s each other, but that
this custom became so boisterous a demon
stralion that it was abandoned, the mistle
too, which seems to have been in some
way connected with it, being then and
there excommunicated. We find the pres
ent custom first in the kitchens of great
houses, w; ere the mistletoe was hung at
Christmas, and woe to tho maid who did
not get a kiss beneath it. For ono thing,
the was doomed to remain single for that
year at least. Woe also to t lie man who
refused < r forgot the request of tho ma.d
to furnish holly u:..l ivy for tho decora
th.ns of the buu.?>. Ho was deburr d from
the privileges of tho mistletoe. It was
long customary, too, to pluck a leaf or
bei.y aft. r every kiss.
But a more pic.;,: quo setting to this
custom of “kissi.",:; under the mistletoe’
is that furni-’' dI y the Scandinavian leg
qnd. According ><» that, at the request of
the gods and goddesses, Balder, aittr his
death by tbc mistletoe arrow, was restored
to Ji i, vvhik) tho inistlotoe itself was given
into tho keeping of his motLor, Frigga,
who was tho Scandinavian Venus, the
goddess of love. But her power over it
lasted only as long as it did not touch tho
earth, Loki’s dominion, and she decreed
that "every one who passed under it as it
hung aloft should receive a kiss to prove
that it was the emblem of love and not ot
death. We can see in this also the proba
ble origin of the idea that if mistletoe is
dropped or placed on the ground misfor
tune will follow.
Tho song of the “Mistletoe Bough,”
familiar to all, has doubtless done much
to keep alive the old custom. At the pres
ent time, however, tho mistletoe is rarely
found on the oak in England, and is so
scarce that the “kissing bunch,” a bunch
of evergreens, ornamented with oranges
and ribbons, has taken its place. In this
country, on the contrary, tho plant, with
its dainty white berries, is a menace to tbc
life of thousands of oaks used for she.de
and ornamental purposes, and hundreds
of dollars are spent yearly for its destruc
tion in order to preserve the life of the
tree from which it gets its own life and
n- irishment. When this is going on in a
southern town, in passing along an av
enue of oaks, ono literally walks on a car
pet of mistletoe, and as the dainty berries
crack under the feet there comes a feeling
—is it inherited?—that one is almost com
mitting an act of sacrilege to thus tread
upon tho “cuter of ail ills.”—New York
Post.
Knows His Bible by Heart.
“While visiting an old friend on the
Tennessee river, near whore Shannon’s
creek empties into the larger stream, not
long since,” said a country minister, “I
saw a negro lad of 12 who is as great a
wonder to me as Helen Keller, the world
famous blind girl and deaf mute. He
lives in a typical Kentucky backwoods
community and has bad no advantages.
My friend asked me if I would like to see
the youth, and I assured him I would. We
went to the child’s home, if the little hut
might be termed homo, and before I left
it I had opened my eyes wide in astonish
ment. The boy was born deaf and blind
and with ono arm. Ho was for years,
while a mere tot, called ‘the freak’ by the
negroes, who unfeelingly poked fun at the
unfortunate. This child was given a raised
letter Bible by an old nomadic missionary
who happened to see the pickaninny while
preaching to tho negroes, and from it the
boy learned every chapter in the Bible.
He can quote any verse in the Scriptures
and do it quickly. He spends every hour
of his time in studying God’s word and
says he is going to teach the blind chil
dren of his race. The lad’s name is Harry
William Balaam Freeman, and he is a
good looking mulatto. I ajn going to get
some friends of mine to join me in a col
lection to bo sent the boy to further his
studies. His mother works in the field,
and his father is a steamboat roustabout. ”

The Antiquity of Ice Cream.
Icecream is an elder sweetmeat than
many would suppose. In the beginning of
the seventeenth century goblets made of
ice and also Iced fruit—that is, frnit frozen
over—were first brought to table. The
lim.onadiers, or lemonade sellers, of Paris
endeavored to increase the popularity of
their wares Ly icing them, and one more
enterprising than the rest, an Italian
named Procope Couteaux, in the year 1660,
conceived the idea of converting such bev
erages entirely into ice, and about 20 years
later iced liquors—that is, liquors changed
into ice—were the principal things sold by
the limonadiers. By the end of that cen
tury iced liquors were quite common in
Paris. Icecream, or iced “butter,” as it
was first called from its supposed resem
blance to that substance, soon followed. It
was first known in Paris in 1774.
The Due de Chartres often went at that
time to the Paris coffee houses to drink a
glass of iced liquor, and the landlord hav
ing one day presented him with his
“arms” formed in edible ice this kind of
sweetmeat became the fashion. German
cooks at once took up the new art. It was
not long in reaching England, for in 1776
a French cook resident in London named
Clermont wrote “Tko Modern Cook,” in
which sweet ices were first described for
the instruction of English cooks. Present
day cooks have elaborated the ice enor
mously.—Gentleman’s Magazine.

The Reasons of It
It is not by accident or by chance that
the Ivers & Fond piano is held in sueh
high esteem. There is a good reason for it.
The New England Conservatory of Music
did not hapen to buy 227 Ivers & Pond
pianos in preference to other makes.
There is a reason for it. It was not merely
good luck that led nearly two hundred of
the most prominent musical and educa
tional institutions in the country to se
lect the Ivers & Pond. It was the result
of careful investigation and sound rea
son.
There are good sound reason why you
should decide upon an Ivers & Pond if
you are going to buy a piano. The reputa
tion of the makers for liberal and fair
dealing is your safeguard. The important
patented improvements found in no other
piano is another reason for deciding in
its favor. But it is the watchful and pains
taking care that follows every piano from
start to finish, and the conscientious and
intelligent attention given to even the
smallest details of construction that is the
reason why the Ivers & Pond Piano can
be depended upen to give the best results
and the best wear.

AMERICAN WI’NES
May Also Be Excluded From Germany —
Question Agitated By Agrarians.
Washington. Feb. B.—Germany is again
agitating the .proposition to exclude Amer
ican wines. Consul Schuman, at Mainz,
in a report to the state department, made
public yesterday, says:
‘ In order to commend themselves to the
wine growers of the western and southern
parts of Germany, those members of the
Reichstag who are the champions of the
agrarian cause are beginning to agitate a
campaign against the importation into
Germany of American wines by advocat
ing a higher import duty on them. Os
course as long as the present treatiees re
main in force, such a proceeding would
be impossible, as under existing treatise,
the United States has the rights of the
most favored nation as regards the im
port duty on wine.
During the last few years the importa
tion of American, especially California,
wines has greatly increased. In the year
1895 the importation of American wines
into Germany amounted to 24,494 hundred
weight.
