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. Macon, Ga., Feb. 16, 1898. - “ J do know this much, I would have been in my grave to day if I had not taken Dr. Pierce’s Medicines,’ writes Mrs. N. B. Umphries, of Val dosta, Lowndes Co., Ga. “Noth ing I took from other doctors ever me any.” The reason Death is shaken off and left be hind by Doctor Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov ery is because it 11 makes new vitalized blood, which is the source of all life.

As chief consulting physician of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.

His “Favorite Prescription ’ ’ is the most perfect cure ever invented for diseases of the feminine organs, and for imparting strength and endurance to prospective mothers. Mrs. Umphries’ letter continues: “ I have taken two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Gold en Medical Discovery. When I began the use of it I was suffering a’great deal with a bad lung affection. The two bottles almost entirely re lieved me of a bad cough whi'li worried me al. day and night.

BUFFALO, N.Y. ipMii 111 The 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. a.
