Then he would have Oven in nis element. The really strange feature of the Cand ler letter episode is that the Rome Tribune ahould be proud of its part in the matter. The new wire -trust which is capitalized for $80,000,000, has commenced business by raising the price on its products $1 per ton. If -Colonel Candler hadn't written that letter —why, the Atkinson crowd would (have had to base -their opposition on some thing else. According to the New York Sun’s Ger man corersjHindent it is "lese majesty” to Ibe caught wearing everyday working clothes on Sunday. The friends of Spencer R. -Atkinson Bhculd not -be contented with the -Macon Telegraph’s -denial of its support. They ahould go to work to -prove it. It is amusing bo see the mock indigna tion of the Atkinson heelers. They have almost worked themselves up to the belief that they have been insulted. Don’t forget that The News' want col umns are people's exchange and mart. Only one cent a word. The News is the cheapest and best medium for reaching the masses. Astronomers now claim that the sun is now 2,216,000 miles nearer the earth than their former -measurements made It. Pos sibly this accoun is dor the conflagrations in Australia. The Griffin News and -Sun accepts the Candler letter as its cure for taking up the cause of the Atkinson forces. But that's all right, Glessuer; he simply made -it easier for you. Anything to oppose the Constitution is the Macon Tek'4 £ *pb v « -position in Georgia _ ToliUes. Thereby it -manages to get itself read in a few Isolated spots through out the state. Spencer iR. Atkinson, if he survives the support of both the Atlanta Journal and the M-aeon Telegraph, may live to run for congress in his district next -time on the Ocala platform. Judge Atkinson refused to take the J O Times sensible advice, so now that papei will fall In and support his for lorn hope. Probably try -to work itself -up to the belief that he has a fighting chance. Buch is politics. On March 15 the civil service commis sion -will hold examinations throughout the United States, for positions ranging from an expert accountant to a single wo man who is a good plain cobk, at an Indian agency school. Ex-Governor Bois, of lowa, has again made one of his natural flops upon the currency question, which is of course not surprising in view of his past attitudes and changes on the matter. Nevertheless the worthy governor is not furnishing any comfort to his ancient enemy the Repub licans. Will the defenders of the Dingley law explain how it is that Minnesota farmers have been compelled to sell their barley at 25 cents per bushel, although the tariff exacts a duty of 30 cents upon all that is imported, asks an exchange. Let some of the trust defenders explain this anomaly if they can. Says the Augusta -Chronicle: "It is amusing to see how adroitly the opposition to Colonel Candler is sweeping its drag net, trying to array every possible antag onism. If they keep it up they will con vince the people taht Candler is of all oth ers the man of the hour. The people will love him for the enemies he has made.” Chicago's wheat king, Joe Leiter, not only made Phil Armour hustle last De cemberto deliver the wheat he sold to Leiter, but now this young man actually deposits six millions in cold ease in Ar mour's bank to let him know he is still on deck and intends to stay there. But what becomes of the consumer? The stove trust is now in the field for Incorporation with a modest capital of $10,000,000. Prices of stoves are to go up 20 per cent, after the trust is formed. As most people have their supply of winter stores on hand they can view with equa nimity the workings of the combine for a little spell anyway. That doughty old burgher, Oom Paul Kruger, has been re-elected president of the Transvail Republic. Although he is a sufferer from a constitutional weakness, the 'Boers found that they could not well allow him to retire to private life. That government now embraces more than a half million souls and is doing pretty well thank you. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Vanderlip being asked what to his mind was the cause of imports of gold into this country being prevented, in view of the large balances in our favor held abroad, gave it out that the scarcity of gold abroad together with the higher rates of discount prevailing were the main reasons why the yellow metal would not flow this way very aocn. The present railroad passenger rate war between Chicago and St. Louis roads to Denver and other -Colorado points, reminds one of the rate war carried on late in the *7o’s. For a week or ten days passengers ■were carried from Chicago to Omaha or Kansas City in reclining chair cars at 50 cents a head. The present contest while no doubt a bitter one, will scarcely come down to any such basis as that. The traveling public, however. Is malting no kick over the continuation of the war. Its Usual Tactics. The Macon Telegraph is now trying to deny that it is supporting Spencer R. At kinson for governor. The people, however, -thoroughly understand The Telegraph's style of warfare. It bag never made any other sort of flgbt since it passed under its present management. It began by bushwhacking the Democratic party, and it has been fighting for its Republican owners ever since—all the time claiming to be a Democrat. So it has fought the tie tiles of the Southern Railway—Rs owner and proprietor. While pretending to be a free, untrammeled newspaper and the friend of '.he people, it has been working to pull the wool over the people's eyes, so that its oweners might carry out their scheme of railroad consolidation in this state. And it is pursuing exactly the same methods in the gubernatorial rare. In this instance, however, it is forced to fight from ambush. It realizes, as well as any one, that its active support will defeat any man who offers for office in Georgia. The candidates all understand it, too. oon s'quently they are willing that The Tele graph should remain in the bush. As a consequence. The Telegraph started out by declaring Itself to be absolutely neutral and impartial. It will be remem bered that The News at once put the peo ple on their guard. We said ‘Watch it.” And we didn’t have long to wait. It has already shown its hand. It has not lost an opportunity to stab Candler in the back. It has legged for Atkinson from the start, and it will keep up its bushwhack ing methods in his behalf until it defeats him. For such support as The Telegraph is giving Atkln«on would defeat him, even if there were no other causes to contribute to his defeat. The people of Georgia don’t like bushwhacking. They don’t like a man who pretends one thing and acts another. They don’t like a newspaper that never makes an open fight. The people of Geor gia are above such methods and they can not tolerate them in others. They see in The Telegraph’s secret sup port of Atkinson, or, at least, its secret and malicious opposition to Candler, the contemptible methods which they so much d< sptse. And very few of -them would be willing to contribute by their vote to the success of such methods, even were the opposition candidate more worthy of their support. Chronological Era. The year 1898 comprises -the latter part of the 122 d and the beginning of the 123 d year of the independence of the United Stales of America, notes the New York Evening Telegram. It corresponds with- The year 6611 of the Julian period. The year 7406-7407 of the Byzantine era, the year 7407 beginning September Ist. The year 5658-5659 of -the Jewish era, the year 5659 beginning at sunset on Sep tember 16th. The year since the foundation of Rome according to Varro. The year 2645 since the beginning of the era of Nabonasar, which has been assign ed to Wednesday, the 26th of February of the 3967-th year of the Julian period; cor responding, in the notation of chronolo g;i-ts, to the 747th; -and in the notation of astronomers to the 746th year before the birth of Christ. The year 2674 of -the Olympiads of the second year of -the 669th Olympiad begin ning in July, if we fix the era of the Olympiads at 775 1-2 iB. C. 7 no ' i-ar -2210 of -the Grecian era, or the era of-* e Sel-eucldae. The year 1614 of the era of -Diocletian. 7he year 2558 of the Japanese era and the 31st year of -the period entitled Meiji. 7he year 1315-1316 of the Mohammedan era, or the era of the Hegira, -the year 1316 beginning May 22d. January 1, 1898, was -the 2,414,2915 t day since the beginning of -the Julian period. Will Atkinson Resign? 'Colonel Candler has -promptly resigned the office of secretary of state, and in do ing so says he does not think it proper for a candidate to hold one office while seek ing another. In this the people of Georgia agree with him, -and the entire public will look to his opponent to act in similar good taste and fairness. When Judge Atkinson was a candidate for congress again-st Henry G. Turner, he resigned the judgeship, because he then thought it was improper to hold one office while seeking another. -In fact it has al ways been considered the proper thing to do. But it is now Intimated that Judge At kinson will attempt to freeze onto his rail road commisslonership while running for governor of Georgia. It is believed that he will not give up the -place if he can possi bly avoid It. Only public opinion can force him out. The attitude of -the two candidates is already in marked contrast. One really sees the impropriety of holding one of fice while seeking another and voluntarily resigns. The other holds on and, it is said, will continue to hold on—if allowed by his friends to do so. A Gradual Growth. There is no cessation to thb growth of The News’ circulation. -Every week the list increases and the popularity of Ma con's afternoon paper is more strikingly shown. As proof of this it is only neces sary to state that from ten to twenty names are added to The News' lists every day. Os course, there are some "stops,” too, but not as many as the “starts’” so that the list is gradually increasing all the time. The average is well maintained from weekto week. The outside of town circula tion is also experiencing a similar influ ence and in nearly every nearby town The News has a flattering list. And in addi tion to the matter of quantity the reader s attention may fittingly 'be called to the quality of the papers circulation. It goes to the homes and -is read by the fireside. A majority of the subscribers are those who receive their wages by the week—a class which distributes more money among the merchants of the city in proportion to what they earn than any other. Advertise ments that are read by The News’ subscri bers pay. Many object to Mr. Candler because they can expect no polltioal preferment from him. That is the whole story in a nut shell. For that same reason the -people of the state want to place him in the guber natorial chair. He is a man who will take office without a single promise and that makes the polticians mad, each and every one of them want to be promised, or to have a good chance to get a fat office, where they can wax fat at the public crib. Allen Candler is not built of the kind of stuff that will go into office with his hands and feet tied, and for that reason the pos sum supper and peanut politicians of the state will opose him to their utmost. — Americus Herald. Hon. O. B. Stevens, of Dawson, will prove a formidable candidate in the race ■for commissioner of agriculture, so formid able, in fact, that we believe he will be successful. He has hundreds of strong friends all over Georgia who admire him for his sterling integrity and who recog nize in him those business and character traits necessary to fill the office with abil ity and profit -to the people. A man of rugged honesty, and a practioal farmer, who has made money farming, Mr. Ste vens would make the state a commissioner at agriculture whose office would prove a practical value to his fellow farmers. No wiser selection for this very important of fice could be made.—Columbus Enquirer- Sun. Aceordington to a Washington Star re porter’s interview with a leading handker chief manufacturer of New York, the American people use up an average of one handkerchief per capita every three months. In other words enough are made and sold to allow each person to use and ■wear out four handkerchiefs per year. Os course, that would not be many, but leav ing out those who use none at all it leaves a pretty fair average to go around among those who regard the article as indispensa ble to those moving in polite circles. The half a cent a word column of The Newt Is the cheapest advertising medium la Georgia. One of Hanna's colored delegates of the ■ vintage of ’96, was paid for his McKinley vote with a postmastership down In a Georgia out-of-the-way place and therat hangs a tale, notes the Buffalo Times. This office for a number of years paid its in cumbent on an average the munificent re turn of $39.15 annually and as the outlook Is not promising for any improvement, this particular postmaster is wearing the life out<k>f Hanna for a better job. MEETS WITH FAVOR. The Plan of Lovering for a Southern Labor Confederacy. The plan suggested by A. F. Lovering, editor of he Tocsin, of Atlanta, to form a | Southern Confederacy of labor or some or ganization that will be to the south what the American Federation of Labor is to the North, is meeting with great favor among most working men and labor or ganizations of the south. The American Federation of Labor does not give the relief to the southern work ing man that it should and there are many reasons why the working men of the south want to be out of that organization and in one of their own. 7*he main reason of the discontent is found in the following extract taken from the articles of agree ment of the American Federation of La bor: "Me reaffirm as one of the cardinal principles of the trade union movement that the working people must unite and organize, irrespective of creed, color, sex, nationality or politics.” The word “color” is what causes the trouble. The greatest trouble that the working man in the south has is having to compete with cheap colored labor. And while It is the very thing they are fighting, it is useless, they say, for them to belong to an organization that takes the negro in and gives him the same protection that it does the whites. This is the main trouble and the trades unions of the south also claim that the American Federation of Labor does not help them in other ways. The American Federation takes in their money as dues, but when they have occasion to call on the Federation for help they do not get it, they say. The interests of the southern man and his northern brother are not the same and for this reason It is thought best to have an organization in the south that will be to the south what the American Federation of Labor is to the north. The Idea originated with Mr. Lovering and through the columns of his paper he has suggested the idea of having a con vention of labor organizations of the south to be held in Atlanta to discuss the plan and organize. Letters have been received from labor organizations all over the south in which the plan is heartily en dorsed and the writers signify their will ingness -to take part in such convention. It has not been decided yet when the convention will be held, as arrangements are pending with the railroads, but it is thought now' that it will be called for the middle of March. The idea in forming the in Delay It is one of the absolute bilities of the world to cure the roots by lopping' off the leaves. Those who treat Catarrh with sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures, should know that those remedies reach only the surface, and can never cu re them. Catarrh invariably leads to Consumption, and to delay the proper treatment is to invite this dreaded disease, Catarrh comes from diseased blood. Sprays and washes won’t cure it, because they do not reach the roots of the trouble. There is no use experi menting with the abominable dis ease called Catarrh. There is no use losing time.

Ob olfi g ' ' > MEm | The Reasons of It It is not by accident or by chance that the Ivers & Pond piano is held in such high esteem. There is a good reason far 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 youi- 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 upon to give the best results and the best wear.
