To the County Commissioners.
Tire News has no desire to appear in the
role of an alarmist or to interfere in the
affairs of your honorable body—composed
as it Ls of men of sound sense and un
questioned integrity. But, in behalf of
the people of Bibb county, we consider it
our duly to bring to your attention some
very sensible advice that is being urged
just now by some of our best citizens and
taxpayers.
it may not be amiss to recall the fact
that The News begged the city council at
the outset to treat with this threatened
smallpox epidemic as an epidemic; to
build a pest house at once and order com
pulsory vaccination, as demanded by the
Board of Health. What has since trans
pired proves, beyond any controversy, that
tiie Board of Health was right in taking
the action it did, and that council made a
mistake in refusing 'to carry out the re
commendations of the Board.
But, with the lights before them, we
believe the county commissioners will be
more inclined to take advice in the proper
spirit and to treat with this threatened
epidemic in the prompt, vigorous manner
that is always necessary.
A good deal of time has been lost, it is
true, in building a pest house and in re
quiring general vaccination, but this is
all the more a reason why no further time
should be lost.
Smallpox has made its appearance in the
suburbs. Being without health regula
tions, the suburbs are, therefore, even
more seriously threatened than the city
itself. Prompt measures, consequently, are
doubly necessary. The commissioners have
already shown the proper spirit in order
ing immediate vaccination, and instruct
ing the county physician to vaccinate all
citizens of the county free of charge.
But this is not enough. One physician
cannot do the work as promptly as it
* should be done. There is but one thing
to do, and that is to press every physician
into service who can be secured for this
work. Employ a score of them, if possi
ble, and let tuem make a house to house
canvass. Let the work of vaccination pro
ceed as rapidly as possible.
Then send every ease, where the patient
cannot or will not employ a guard, to the
pest house. Send them at once. Do not
wait until dozens of people have become
infected and whole communities endan
gered.
it would be belter still if the commis
«
sioners would call upon a certain number
of the county’s best physicians to act as
a Board of Health for a time. Such a
board. It is true, would have no authority
of law, but their acts and suggestions
could be given authority by the commis
sioners themselves—the same authority
which they now exercise. Such a board
would be in a better position to handle
this epidemic as it should be handled, and,
we confidently believe, the arrangement
would be of the greatest benefit from the
outset.
In either event, the work of vaccination
should be pushed as rapidly as money and
men can do it. It will be cheaper for the
county In the end. Instead of one physi
cian, employ a dozen or even twenty and
let every citizen of the county be rendered
immune as quickly as possible.
While we are holding back in deference
to the opinions of a few skeptics who as
sume to know more than 90 per cent, of
the scientific and medical men of ’the
world, the smallpox germ is spreading,
the lives of our people are endangered and
the business of the community is being
seriously injured.
These suggestions are made in no spirit
of dictation, but merely in the interests
of the people, in whose behalf we have a
right to speak.
The Albany Herald says: “Col. Candler
has set Judge Atkinson a good example by
resigning the office of secretary of state
w bile he is making a canvass for the gov
ernorship. M ill Judge Atkinson resign the
railroad commissionership which he
holds?”
The Accident to the Maine.
The mind of nearly every American has,
no doubt, formed or attempted to form an
opinion as to the cause of the disaster to
the battleship Maine. The -presence of the
ship in Havana harbor, the feeling enter
tained against her and her crew and
against Americans in general by the
Spanish extremists, the mystery surround
ing the accident itself have all tended to
arouse the suspicion that it was the work
of Spaniards. Indeed, as might have been
expected, the jingoes of this country have
already accepted the statements given out
—though absolutely nothing has been
given out that tends to throw any light
on the case—as proof positive that the
disaster was due to design rather than ac
cident.
Already the newspapers are teeming
with statements from men, many of whom
express the most decided opinions on the
subject, and yet who know as little <as
anyone else about the affair—and who, for
the life of them, cannot give a single rea
son for the charge that the Spaniards are
responsible for the disaster. It is simply
an outburst of the feeling that is in us.
J wo-thirds of the American people want
trouble with Spam, and they would jump
at any chance to involve this country In
such a difficulty. They do not weigh for
a moment the moral responsibility of such
; a conflict, nor consider the value to this
j country and to the world of the result—
even granting the overthrow of Spanish
I rule.
Even here In the south, where the prop
er estimate is placed upon the negro, we
have people who are jest dying to see Cuba
turned over to a lot of mulattos, half
breeds, Minawcans, cutthroats and an
archists. They simply believe that the peo
ple of Cuba are oppressed—which is true—
and they are willing to go to the extreme
in order to overthrow the oppressors. They
are like the extremists of the north who,
not content wit a giving the negro his free
' dom. sought by legislation to make him
i the political and social equal of people
whose equal he was not and never could
be. While there is a certain difference in
i the two oases, the sentiments of the ex-
I tremlsts is the same, and makes the com
| parison apt.
| it is this feeling, we say. that finds in
i the accident to the Maine a dastardly deed
of Spaniards—and in the bloody, anar
chistic acts of the insurgents something to
commend, or, at least, to condone. Nothing
but war, bloody cruel war, will satisfy
these people—until it comes, when, as his
tory shows, they would probably be the
last to participate in it.
Hov much more reasonable and sensible
it is to do as Consul General Lee suggests—
"repress excitement and calmly await de
cision." Here we are jumping at conclu
sions, crying treachery’and foaming at the
tnouth without knowing anything at all
about lire matter—more than the fact that
it has occurred, that It is gwful, and that
it occurred at a most inopportune time and
place.
Although the use of a torpedo on the
Maine would have b.en cf far greater value
to the insurgents than to any one else,
although such a deed would be more in
harmony with their tactics, and with their
natures and wiling to resort to almost
any measure, in view of the desperate na
ture of their cause, it has not yet been
suggested that an insurgent might have
done this work in the hope of forcing the
United States into a conflict with Spain—
the outcome of which would be the over
throw of Spanish rule 1n Cuba.
If the Texas had struck a rock in the
Havana harbor, as she did in the Dela
ware river, we would, perhaps, have heard
that the Spanish put It there purposely to
wreck her. If the same ship had sprung a
leak and gone down at her dock In a Span
ish port, instead of in Brooklyn, we would
have heard that a Spaniard bored a hole
in her hull. The feeling is in us, and it
crops out on the slightest provocation—in
fact without any provocation at all.
Os course, should an investigation reveal
the fact that Spain is in any way respon
sible for the Maine disaster, it would have
to be considered a hostile act —at once the
most dastardly and cowardly in the history
of the world. But only a slight amount of
common sense is necessary to suggest to
us the wisdom and justice cf awaiting such
an inquiry and such a decision.
In the meantime, the jingoes will con
tinue to howl—'for they are, as yet, in nc
danger, and, in all probability, would be
the last to expose themselves should the
occasion require.
The Absurdity of It.
Editor News: In view of the fact that
there is such a difference of opinion among
our respectable physicians as to whether
we are now having smallpox or chicken
pox, why would it not be well to call in
an expert to diagnose the cases now here,
who could at once tell us “what’s the mat
ter with Hannah.”
“Skeptic.”
The above is in line with the other fool
ish twaddle that has been heard on all
sides since the appearance of smallpox in
Macon. The city council exhibited a sim
ilar spirit when it practically refused at
the outset to accept the official
decision of the Board of Health;
and ever since private citizens, as well as
public officials, have shown a disposition
to treat the epidemic which threatens this
city with indifference, and as if still un
convinced of the character of the disease.
Could anything be more foolish? Could
anything be so inexcusable? There are
•today twleve cases of smallpox in Ma
con and suburbs, all diagnosed by
reputable physicians, and declared
to be genuine smallpox. Some of
these cases have progressed beyond the
doubtful stage, and everything has upheld
the diagnosis of the physicians who de
clared them to be smallpox.
And yet there are Citizens, and public
officials, too, who even now dare to ’assert
that the best physicians of Macon do not
know what .they are talking about.. The
sugestion is even made that the city send
off for an “expert” to settle the question.
Such a suggestion Is an unwarranted in
sult to the intelligence and professional
knowledge of the physicians of Macon,
many of whom stand at the head of their
profession. Send where slje will, the city
of Macon could And few physicians who
are better equipped to diagnose these or
any other cases. So what sense is there in
talking about “experts” and the difference
of opinion among Macon physicians?
There is practically no difference of
opinion among the physicians of this city.
One of them, it is true, has persistently re
fupaed to agree with the others, but does
this prove that all the others are wrong
and that he Is right? Even were they all
equal in ability, are not the opinions of
thirty or forty physicians worth more than
the one?
It is high time the people of Macon, and
public officials, too, begin to display a lit
tle common sense in dealing with this
threatened epidemic. 'lnstead of trying to
make themselves and others believe that
almost the entire radical fraternity of Ma
con are ignoramuses and .alarmists, and
that one member of the .profession knows
it all. they had (best begin to handle this
epidemic as an epidemic. If such a course
had been pursued at the outset, instead of
twelve oases of smallpox, we might have
had only two.
Will Atkinson resign? He would find
holding one office and running for another
uphill business, says the Thomasville
Times- En terprise.
We still advise Judge Atkinson to
change his name and enjoin the Macon
Telegraph.
THE ONLY PARALLEL.
Four Officers and Forty-Six Men Were
Lost.
Washington, Feb. 17 —The only parallel
to the Maine horror in the history of the
United States navy was the great Samoan
disaster in March, 1889, when four officers
at-i forty-six men of the Pacific coast
squadron lost their lives in a hurricane
which swept the harbor of Apia, Samoa,
and surrounding waters March 15th and
16th.
When this hurricane started there were
in the harbor of Apia the following men
of-war; The U. S. S. Trenton, Vandalia
and Nipsic; the British ship Calliope and
the German vessels Adler, Olga and Eber
and a few merchant ships and smalll
craft. Admiral Kimberly, command the
naval forces, made the department a long
report on the disaster, in which he showed
that, notwithstanding the utmost efforts
of the officers and men nd a display of
the most expert seamanship, the Vandalia
and the Nipsicwere wrecked on a reef.
The Vandalia lost three officers and thir
ty-nine men; the Nipsic, seven men, and
the Trenton, one man, whose head was
smashed by an accident aboard ships. The
admiral’s report showed that the Adler
had been beached on her side; that the
Olga had been beached in a good posi
tion. He said the Elber was nowhere to
be seen and reported that the Calliope,
having successfuly run out of the harbor
during the beginning of the storm, had
returned, showing signs of having experi
enced heavy weather. In reporting on the
disaster Admiral Kimberly said:
"During the entire time Captain Far
quhar showed great care and good judg
ment in handling the ship through this
terrific gale, and never left the bridge.
He was ably seconded by his executive
and navigating officers, who did all in
their power to save the ship. In fact, so
far as I could observe, all the officers be
haved extremely well under the trying cir
cumstances, and performed their duties
cheerfully, cffectixely and as well as could
be desired. This disaster I classify among
the incidents and accidents inseparable
from the prosecution of duty. Its magni
tude, however, gives it a distinguishing
feature, which. fortunately, the service is
rarely compelled to witness.”
A STRONG DENIAL.
Mr. Thos. W. Ellis and the North Macon
Land Company.
To the Public: As sensational reports
of the allegations in a suit brought against
the North Macon Land Co., and others, to
which litigation I have been made a party,
may come to the ears some who du not
know me, I desire promptly to make a
statement. I have never been an officer
in the North Macon Land company, nor
have I ever subscribed to one dollar’s
worth of its stock. The only transaction
in which I ever engager with which that
company was even remotely connected,
was to sell in open market, under bond for
title, to H. R. Dill, C. E. Marvin and oth
ers, a piece of real estate, which these par
ties afterwards transferrod to the land
company, and which land I nad to retake
fcr non-payment of the purchase money.
My only regret is that I have not an
other piece of like property which I can
dispose of at a fair valuation. I know
nothing of the internal workings of the
company, but my aots in this mater, as
in all others, are open to the scrutiny of
the world, so that “he who runs may
read.” The intimation that I ever entered
into any trade with any corporation or in
dividual that was not -the essence of honor
and uprightness, is a lie when made, and
the person who intimates it, whether par
ty, attorney or otherwise, Is a liar.
This answer in proper legal words will
be made in open court at the appointed
time. This answer, unadorned with nice
qualifications, can be heard from me out of
court at any time. Respectfully,
Thos. W. Ellis.

Who is Accused of Defrauding an Eastern
Woman.
New York, Feb. 17—Recently the United
States Guide and Information Company
started and then died. The man who en
gineered the capital disappeared. He was
known here as Count Ernest V. Marschall.
Under another name he exploited a Klon
dike guide scheme in Chicago. He is un
der arrest there, and preparations are
making to bring him here.
The accusation made is that he induced
Mrs. Mary Dimock, of this city, to invest
J 30,000 in. the United States Guide and In
formation Company, and that just as soon
as the money was paid over to the so
called Count, he left for parts unknown,
leaving the company to go to ruin.

It is not by accident or by chance that
the Ivers & Pond piano is held in such
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 & Piano can
be depended upon to give the best results
and the best wear.

SENATORSHIP
Will be Declined by Hon. William J.
Bryan.
Kansas City. Mo., Feb. 17—A special
from Lincoln, Neb., says: An extraordi
nary political situation prevails in Ne
braska. It is probably the logical result
of the activity of William Jennings Bryan.
The cahmplon of bimetallism has written
during the past few months hundreds of
autograph letters to his friends in this and
adjacent states urging them to maintain
their political organization.
Bryan declared that he hasno doubt that
all congressmen returned from Nebraska
this year will be pledged silver men.
It is no secret that Bryan will not be a
candidate for United States senator. He
could have it without even asking for it.
Senator Allen will be a favorite to suc
ceed himself. Governor Holcomb is prob
ably Mr. Allen’s strangest opponent.
