Benjamin L. Willingham.
It is not often that the death of a pri
vate citizen carries with it such profound
•sorrow as does the death of Mr. B. L. Wil
lingham, which occurred suddenly last
Blight at his home in 'this city, it is sel
dom that a private citizen is so thorough
ly identified with the affairs of a commu
nity as was this good man. And it Is not
often that a man of affairs finds time to
draw about him such a wide circle of de
voted, personal friends.
It is sufficient evidence of Mr. Willing
ham's hold upon 'the community in which
he livid to know that his death has caused
general consternation and regret, and that
so many of his fellow citizens feel a deep
l>< rsonal loss. He has made his influence
fell in many ways—and always for good.
Hi.t approval or disapproval for a man or
n measure often carried more direct weight
than that of a whole faction. In local af
fairs his judgment was relied upon by
hundreds of people, and he invariably
sought out and aligned himself with the
right, in church affairs he always took a
conspicuous pant, and, in away, was re
garded as the father of the Baptist church
of Macon.
In private life he was geniaJ, sincere,
upright and charitable. He was especially
the friend of the young man, and there are
many In Macon and throughout the state
Who owe their success to his timely aid
and encouragement.
Mr. Willingham was In many respects
n remarkable man. He was remarkable
for his great energy and business capacity.
He was remarkable for his great force of
character and for his sincerity. And he
was remarkable for his progeny, in whom
Is reflected the splendid qualities, the
Btrong, sturdy characteristics of their sire,
mere in Macon ! he has reared a family that
Is one of the most remarkable in the coun
try. Thirteen of them, and all men and
women of great physical, moral and men
tal vigor. Here the majority of them have
grown to manhood and womanhood and
here they have lived almost as one family,
all honoring the head thereof and living
in unison and harmony beautiful to be
hold. To them he was father, friend and
advisor, and to him they were devoted,
obedient, worthy children.
If the rearing of such a family were his
only achievement, he would still have ac
complished more than the average man
can boast of. But he first made a success
of his own life and set an example which
Ws own offspring have emulated with ben
efit to themselves and to the community
5n wh'cih they live.
He left off active life only on the thres
hold of the grave. And he died full of
years and of achievements.
Let Everybody Help.
The hospital directors have decided upon
n plan for raising the money necessary to
pay the present mortgage on the hospital
property, amounting to $3,500. The pay
ment of this mortgage, it will be remem
bered. will secure for the hospital a gift
of six or eight thousand dollars from Mr.
T. B. Gresham and his sister, Mrs. Machen,
to be used in building an annex as a me
morial to their distinguished father, thus
giving Macon a hospital in keeping with
her needs and surpassed by few in the
country.
Surely, the Inducement is sufficient to
arouse the people of Macon once more In
behalf of this institution —perhaps the last
time they will be called upon.
The hospital directors have decided to
Issue an appeal for donations and to ask
all of the citizens of this community to
make voluntary subscriptions at once
through the local press. Both the Tele
graph and The News have been asked to
take up this work in behalf of the hospital
nnd both papers will gladly contribute
their efforts to the undertaking. The list
of donations will be published from day to
day, and it should not be long before the
papers are able to announce that the nec
essary amount of money has been raised.
Mr. Joseph Dannenberg has already led
off with a donation of SSOO. and, we doubt
■not, other wealthy citizens will respond
to the call in an equally liberal spirit.
Hut the cause is one in which all of our
people should take an active interest.
Everyone should give something. In this
way the entire amount can be quickly
raised. All of us have a direct interest in
the maintenance of this institution.
The hospital directors are ready for you;
send in your donation at once to Mr. S. R.
Jaques, chairman of the board.
A Theory.
Since everybody else Is explaining how
it happened to the Maine, there is no rea
son why the balance of us who know noth
ing at all about the matter may not make
our surmises. A great many theories have
been advanced as to the cause of the ex
plosion. but it is evident that certain
things have not yet been taken into con
sideration.
Like everyone else, we have our sus
picions. and, unlike a great many others,
we can give sound reasons for our belief.
The public will, perhaps, recall, with a
feeling of great merriment, a recent pub
lication emanating from the sterile brain
of a Macon humorist relative to the de
parture of the steamer Ci-tv of Macon for
Cuban waters. How the President, upon
hearing of toe completion of the boat, had
decided to declare war at once and ordered
the City of Macon to proceed forthwith to
Havana.
We don’t like to throw the public into
another fit of painful laughter by recall
ing .this hilariously funny story, but it is
necessary to throw light on the Maine
disaster. Our theory is that this publica
tion had just reached Havana and that it
was being read by the Maine’s magazine
keeper, when he exploded with laughter,
thereby sinking the ship.
All of which only shows how dangerous
it Is to carelessly handle the Macon Tele
graph’s unloaded jokes.
If It was an accident, Editor Blackburn
wants every officer of the Maine court
martialed and shot. Blackbum is always
ready with some mild and temperate sug
gestion like this.
A Few Cases in Point.
It is almost amusing to hear the ex
planations made by Governor Atkinson's
hand organs with reference to their sup
port of that gentleman's namesake and po
litical legatee. Among them the esteemed
Griffin News and Sun. the Rome Tribune,
the Newnan Herald and Advertiser, and
other*.
They all base it, of course, upon the Can
dler letter. That letter is what turned
them. At least, that is the inference. Let's
see just bow much there is in all of this:
Douglass Glecacer, fnrinstance, is a »v>J
fellow, but he is Bill Atkinson's, heart and
soul. So is Jim Brun, and so is Mr.
Knowles. Just suppose Colonel Candler
hadn’t written that letter; Judge Atkin
»on’s candidacy had already been decided
upon by the Atkinson ring, long before
that letter was written. Governor Atkin
son. notwithstanding his statements to the
contrary, set to work to this end imme
diately upon his return from Mexico, to
find that his friend. Joe Terrell, had quit
the race.
So that in a few mor. <wys Judge Atkin
son s announcement would ha ve been
forthcoming—letter or no letter. Does any
ooe believe that either Clessner, Brown or
Knowles would have wtood by Candler. In
direct opposition to the governor's wishes?
Do they believe it themselves? Certainly
not. They are all his staunch political
friends; all of them have received office at
his hands. Each of them owes him a polit
ical debt, and each of them is bound to
him and his ring.
Is is at all likely, then, that they would
have lagged In their support of the ring
candidate, once Atkinson had given the
word? It all, then, resolves Iteelf into a
question of whether or not Governor At
kinson was engaged in an effort to name
his own successor. On that point we think
there is no honest difference of Opinion.
So that the Atkinson organs and the At
kinson heelers would have acted just as
•they have acted, letter or no letter.
Wouldn’t it. therefore, be more creditable
to our esteemed contemporaries to throw
off the maek, and come squarely out with
the admission that they arc against Candler
solely and simply because he Is not Gov
ernor Atkinson’s candidate—.because he
doesn't belong to their crowd.
They have a right to oppose him, of
course, for this or any other reason; but
they have no right to try to deceive the
public as to the motive of their opposition.
The matter is of small consequence, how
ever, in view of the fact that they are, in
reality, deceiving up one—not even them
selves.
The Americus Herald is another paper
that is not fooled by the Atlanta Journal’s
recent professions of neutrality in the
gubernatorial race. It, too. Is onto the
Journal’s little game, and says: “The At
lanta Journal is ’hot in the collar’ on ac
count of a few remarks made by Tom Loy
less, the gifted editor of The Macon News,
on the stand taken by the Journal on the
gubernatorial situation. The Journal de
clares that it has published only as news
items the litters written to it. by its cor
respondents. That would all be very nice
but for the fact that the correspondents
of the Journal seem to fall In exactly with
the political ideas of that paper. The
Herald has read much of ibis correspond
ence and perhaps would take it as gospel
truth were it not for the fact that it has
seen private letters from more than one
county stating that Candler is as strong
as ever. In some of the counties where
‘all are outraged at Candler’s letter’ pri
vate letters state that he has not lost a
vote. The Herald does not expect to be
the gainer, either for itself or friends, by
the election of any candidate, one jot or
title, and it is working only for the good,
of the people and state. Can all other
papers say as much?"
The ‘Hawkinsville News and Dispatch,
which has been transformed into an At
kinson organ, calls on its candidate to
resign his position as railroad commission
er. It says:
"We think Colonel Candler did right in
sending in his resignation as secretary of
state when he announced for governor.
Now let Judge Atkinson follow suit by
stepping down off the railroad coin mis ion.
This will put them on an equal footing in
this respect and leave no room for one to
attack the other."
The Americus Times-Recorder can’t see
what right a Republican paper has to take
such an active part in a Democratic nom
ination. It says:
“The Macon Telegraph thinks Colonel
Lewis Garrard ‘would make an ideal gov
ernor.’ It does seem strange that a paper
with such pronounced uniDemocratic ideas
and proclivities should be taking such a
lively interest in a Democratic nomina
tion.”
Paris now has a daily newspaper man
aged and edited entirely by women. The
fine offices include an excellent library .and
council room, and a restaurant is at
tached. Not a male is engaged in the es
tablishment, in either the mechanical,
publishing, or editorial departments. La
Fronde is the name. One aim of the pa
per is to emancipate French women from
antiquated legal disabilities, and secure
for them the freedom enjoyed by English
and American women.
So far as can be ascertained Hon. Allen
D. Candler has not lost a single vote in
Sumter county. Many claim that they
cannot vote for him since that letter but
even before that they were known to be
‘administration men.’ ” —Americus Herald.
And .this is about the truth of the situa
tion in every other county in the state.
The Candler letter simply brought the op
position to a head. And the sooner this
was done the better.
Says the Rome Commercial: "Think of
it—two men have quit the Floyd county
Candler Club in the past week and more
than two hundred new members have been
added. That does look like a terrible
revolution in sentiment doesn’t it.”
The plans of the government to sell the
Kansas Pacific railroad to a Wall street
syndicate for half what it cost has met
with a protest from congress. This Is as
it should be.
No More
Rheumatism
It is absolutely impossible to
have Rheumatism if the Blood
is pure. The acids which cause
the disease cannot exist in rich,
healthy blood. The reason so
many thousands fail to get rid
of Rheumatism is because they
try to cure it with liniments and
external applications of one kind
or another.
The Blood cannot be reached
from the outside. Rheumatism
cannot be cured that way. A
person may try a lifetime, but
the disease will not yield to such
treatment; it will, on the other
hand, grow worse each year.
Swift’s
Specific
is the one remedy that will cure
Rheumatism. It is the only
purely Vegetable Blood Purifier
that the world has ever known.
It drives all acids and impurities
out of the circulation, restores
vital energy, and sends rich,
pure, red Blood through the
veins and arteries.
No matter how long Rheuma
tism may have tortured you.
Swift's Specific will effect a
permanent cure.

The Macon Telegraph calls on Mr. At
kinson to resign from the railroad com
mission in its Monday issue. Tuesday the
Telegraph relents and tells the distin
guished office holder to hold on to all he
has and can get.—Americus Times-Re
corder.
Oh, that’s nothing; perhaps it hadn't
heard from headquarters when it first
spoke.
Os course Spencer will resign. He said
that was the proper thing to do when he
ran for congress and he could not have
changed his mind. That rairoad commis
sionship is fat—but principle is worth
more than pence any day to Spencer. He
has said it was the proper thing to do and,
of course, he will stick to it.—Rome Com
mercial.
Depression in Japan has followed a long
period of industrial development and eco
nomic progress. Stocks have fallen in
value, industries shut down and forces re
duced. The people are firmly convinced
that the action of the Japanese government
year is going to the gold standard is
the cause of the hard tiroes.
Since we have read the opinion of Mr.
Bill Slumpsky, who once saw a battleship
in the Savannah harbor, we are convinced
that the theory of spontaneous combustion
is absurd and that we are merely losing
time by refusing to deciare war against
Spain at onoe.
The Thomasville Times-Enetrprise rises
to remark that "The Candler letter hasn't
affected Obe Stevens' chances. He is go
ing along at an even lope and will pass
under the string first.”
If Judge Atkinson wants to hold public
office after next October, he is right in
swinging onto the railroad commissioner
ship.
Governor Atkinson has evidently not yet
learned that "you can’t fool all of the
people all the time.”
SPEAKING OF DE LOME.
The DeLome affair will unquestionably
increase the pressure upon the adminis
tration to carry out its pledges of Cuban
intervention.—Kansas City Times.
The Spanish game is exposed now. We
are dealing with enemies, not friends, ac
cording to DeLome’s own showing. He has
accepted the Cuban cause immensely.—
Buffalo News.
It is rightly considered that the remov
al from diplomatic duties at Washington
ment one can make on the spectacle of a
great military victory for 'the Cuban
cause.—Buffalo Express.
"Poor Spain'" wrpte Senor DeLome and
“peer Spain!” is, after ail, the best com
ment one can make on the spctacle of a
nation of such a splendid past, fallen on
such evil days.—New York Post.
It is an unpardonable offense for an am
bassador 'to give utterance to disrespect
of the ruler of the country to which he is
a diplomatic delegate. It is as if a guest
wer to insult his host.—Buffalo Inquirer.
DeLome’s abusive tirade against Presi
dent McKinley, whose dinners he has been
meanwhile most appreciatively attending,
is the emanation essentially of a black
guard—worthy of a Spaniard.—Pittsburg
Press.

The Reasons | jf 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 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 upon to give the best results
and the best wear.

CYCLEWAY.
An Elevated One Built in the Golden State
Nine Miles in the Country.
Passadena, Cal.. Feb. 17 —California
. realizes that the bicycle is here to stay.
I Anything the cyclists want in the Golden
I State it is theirs for the asking.
An elevated bicycle path between Pas
! sadena and Los Angeles—running nine
i miles through a picturesque country—will
I be- completed within three weeks. This
cycle way is elevated 18 feet above the
level of the streets, and, of course, varies
so that in some places it is elevated 50
feet in the valleys and through one hill
a short cut will be made at grade.
Electric lights are to be set every 100
feet the entire distance of the track. This
will be nie feet wide on the roadway, with
flaring sides, making the width 12 feet at
the top of the guard rail. It will be con
structed of wood, the floor of boards turn
ed on edge. In the centre of the track,
which will be of a dull gray color to be
restful to the eyes, there will be a three
inch separator to prevent collisions of
cyclists going in opposite ways.
The track will accommodate electric
vehicles and horseless carriages also.
Entrance and exit will be controlled by
toilgates, and there will be places where
cyclists may enter upon the path. A toll
of 5 cents will be charged for the use of
the track each way.
