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. Send for free books on all Blood Diseases to the Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. 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 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.

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.
