The Maine Disaster.
Those people who have already tried and
convicted the Spanish government of com
plicity in the Maine allair, without know
ing anything as to the di tails of the ac
cident, iiave, also, probably, not stopped
Ho consider what Spain would lose by on
uet such as they hold her guilty of.
In the first place, she would precipitate
n war without first making preparation
for It, and in away that would lose for
fur the .sympathy and support of any and
all other civilized nations—a thing she
could not afford to forfeit in case of
trouble with the United States. It has
been known all along that Spain has
placed a certain reliance on Germany in
the event of war with this government,
mid it would not be im;x>ssible lor affairs
Co take this course in case the United
Stati s forces the conflict.
Such an act os Spain is now charged
witli, at once the most cowardly and das
tardly in the history of nations, would,
ni<i» irlly, deprive her at once of such
support. What benefit, therefore, would
be the rimoval of the battleship Maine,
as compand with the loss sustained in
voluntarily forfeiting the support upos
which she must depend in case of a strug
gle. Is it at all reasonable to suppose that
nny government, no matter how bitter or
how treacherous, would make such a
choice?
If we are bound to accept the torpedo
theory and to decide the whole ease on
circutnstandal evidence, or rather sur
mises, entirely, thin why not weigh the
matter from a more reasonable standpoint.
It has been shown that Spain would have
nothing to gain and everything to lose by
such an act. And it is equaly clear that
tlie insurgents would have everything to
gain ami nothing to lose by committing
«ueh a deed Lhenwlves In the hope of
fixing it on the Spaniards, or. at least, in
precipitating a war between the United
Stales and Spain before the matter could
be fully determined.
Hut are the Insurgents capable of it?
will ire asked. If a Spaniard is, then a
Culran, or such Cubans as compose the
insurgent party are titty times more so.
The latter are simply the dregs, the skum
of Spanii+h society, mixed with negro and
other Inferior bloods. There are some ex
ceptions, to be true, but they are rare.
The insurgents are. beyond any doubt, tiie
worst eleno ut of Cuban civilization. Their
tirmy Is made up of desperate men. their
cause Is a desperate one, and there 4s
f-careely anything they would hesitate to
do to gain poss< ssion of Cuba, 'rhe inter
ference of this government would accom
plish in a short time what they can never
hope to accomplish. They have tried ap
peals, persuasion, misrepresentation,
everything, and all to no avail —‘because
this government Juts had no right to in
terfere, Why not, then, try strategy, even
crime of t'he blackest sort, if necessary.
What matters it to men who use the
weapon of anarchists and employ the ‘tac
tics of robbers to accomplish their pur
pose?
Os course this analysis of the affair is
based on the generally accepted theory
it hat a torpedo was used on the Maine —
which is not even remotely probable. It
only indicates however how much more
reason can be applied to the other side of
the question if our people were only will
ing to weigh the matter fairly and dispas
sionately.
The South’s New Mills.
The Textile World, in Its annual report
of mill construction, presents some inter
esting facts and figures concerting the
growth of the textile industry in the south
during the ytar 1897.
There was a marked falling off in the
list of new cotton mills erected in this
country during 1897. as compared with
1896, but a fair showing with the two years
preceding 1896. This falling off, however,
was not in the south.
The following table shows the number
of new coton mills constructed in the
southern states during last year:
No. Spin. Looms
-Alabama 4 75,000 2,292
Florida• 1 2,000
Georgia 7 45,000 626
Ixruisiano 1 1.500 10
North Carolina .... 9 35.080 80
South Carolina .... 11 95,200 2,472
Tennessee 3 192
Kentucky 1
Total 37 256,780 5,672
Os the thirty-seven mills erected in the
South last year nine did no spinning, leav
ing the number of spindles. 256,780, to be
divided among twenty-eight mills. South
t-anolina took the lead, with Alabama a
close second. A number of Southern mills
were equipped for making rope, lamp
wlcks, sash-cords, bagging, etc., requiring
coarse yarns. A small braid and tape mill
was P u. up in Georgia and the manufac
ture of duck was commenced in Louisiana.
The south onl had one new woolen mill,
which was established in Kentucky.
* , knitiln 8 industry was more' active,
twelve nulls being in ,

distributed as follows; Five in

Mr. Berner is quite as late as Mr Ter
rell was previous. ' '
The North Georgia Citizen, a “ring” or
gan. says: “Let the public remember that
Judge Spencer Atkinson is not in anv wav
related to Governor Atkinson." Auothe
forcible tribute to the decadence of Gov
ernor Atkinson’s influence in Georgia pol
itics. First the Hon. Joe Terrell quits the
race because handicapped, as he* frankly
said, by- Goveornor Atkinson’s friendship
for him, and now Judge Atkinson’s forces
consider it necessary to explain that he is
no km to. Bill. Even if he were, his blood
relationship to Yates would not trouble
the people half as much as his political re
lationship does. No, we are practically
-willing to acquit Spencer of blood kinship
■but politically he is Bill Atkinson’s doublv
first cousin and ward.
Berner-and Garrard.
Hon. K. L. Berner has announced his I
candidacy for governor, and there is every
indication mat Hon. Louis Garrard will
make a similar announcement witam the i
next few days, thereby making it a four
cornered race.
CH course this will necessarily change
the political situation couside-.anly, and
the t*u candidates already tn me race w.h
uivv to revise- uie.r calculations.
We cannot believe, nowever, mat it will *
change tut result, lion. Allen u. Gaudier
has a greater acid upon the people man ah
of tne other candidates conjoined, ana they
are going tomaxe mm taeir governor. Tuts
opinion not baaed merely on admtiaciou <
tor me man or in blind faith in nia caudi- I
dacy, out solely on a knowledge of me !
sentiment that exists tnrougaout every
section of the state—north, soutn, east and i
west,
Fuat Mr. Berner, however, will carry
■two counties that were counted tor Caad- I
ier cannot be denied; but tie will also car- i
ry some of me counties wnicn Mr. Atkin- I
son counted upon, and will very materl- i
ally M'iit me autl-Caiuiler vote ta tne otn- I
er counties of the wtaic. The same is true
of Mr. Garrard.
mat the Gaudier strength cannot be ■so |
easily assailed is equally evident. f ‘i- i
g.e.n tody of honest, untrammcici voters *
who have already determined to throw on ,
ring rule by placing in office a man wan |
is noted for ins political purity, are no'. tj 1
be turned aside, merely tor the sake ci
gratifying tne ambitious of other gentle
men, no matte.- now ito/thy mey may be
they I'.'.ognlze the fact tnat mere is a
grave is-u-r at stake, and tn.xt Ahea l>.
Candler is Lite particular expouent ot the
principles wnich th< >* wish to see prevail.
Mr. Berner, it is true, has aligned him
self squarely with the people, and at a
more opportune time he nilgai rile to vic
tory on such a platform. He nas boldly
and tarcimy ic.atea out Hie lange- at ra“-
ioad monopoly and corporation control,
and he pledges himself to uphold the slam
constitution and stand up tor tne rights ot
the people. He makes it clear that rail
road consolidators are engaged in violent
ly setting aside our constitutional laws in
order to establish in this state a monopoly
that will crush out competition and place
me people entirely at their mercy, ne
says ne bas "watched for years the growth
of monopoly and the usurpation ot organ
ized capital in this state. He has seen the
constitution violated with impunity and
without shame.”
He Cells the truth and he talks like a
man who has the courage ot uis convic
tions. At tne proper time he could gain
the ear of the people on such an issue, and
could perform a work that would be of
lasting benefit 'to the state. But, unfortu
nately, he has spoken too late. The peo
ple iiave already made their choice and
Mr. Berner has no chance of election. So
that there is no reason why niose .wno
wisa to thiow off ring rule and place a
champlotl of the people in office stiou.u
waste their votes on num.
'Io begin with, Lacy recognize in Allen
D. Gaudier a man who is as utitrammeled
as Mr. Berner himiself. They Know linn ,o
be absolutely honest and courageous and
mey know mat lie will uphold the slate
constitution us firmly as would Mr. Ber
ner or any ctiier man. And this is all
ibait is necessary to know. They have con
fidence iinhim, and they see in .iii.ni theonly
man instills race who can overthrow ring
rule, and, at the same time* defend the
rights of the people in every other partic
ular.
The thinking people of the state will not
deprive themselves of such a victory by
throwing away their votes on candidates
who, no matter how sincere in their advo
cacy of the people’s rights, have no chance
<jl election, consequently will Lave no
chance to render the service that is so
much needed. They will understand that
such action on their part will but contrib
ute to the election of the “ring ”’ candi
date, a man who represents all that worst
and most vicious in Georgia politics.
Mr. Berner and Mr. Garrard are, them
selves, both good men and are not in the
"ring,” a fact which is very much to their
credit. But there is no reason .why their
personal amibition, which could and prob
ably would be gratified later on, should
interfere with this victory of the people—
combining as it will the overthrow of ring
rule iu Georgia and guaranteeing the state
an honest, upright, courageous administia
tion. Alien 1). Candler is the representa
tive of their cause and ‘they are going to
remain steadfast ‘to him —even though a
dozen others should enter the race.
The death of Mrs. .Francis Willard re
moves from tlie world a very remarkable
woman, and one whose life was devoted
to a cause as grand almost as religion it
self. Tiie last twenty years of tier Me
were devoted almost exclusively to ‘the
cause of temperance. She became pres
ident of tlie Woman’s Christian Temper
ance Union tn 1879 and held the office until
her death. During that time the organ
ization under her able direction has be
come a most powerful body and exerts a
widespread influence for good. In 1888
Miss Willard extended to scope of the
work so as to cover the entire world, and
organized the World's Christian Temper
ance Union, of which she also became the
presi'dent. Miss Willard was different
from many other noted women of the day,
in 'that her ideas were practical. She never
lost her womanly dignity, but worked her
self and united others in a cause in which
women can properly work. She not only
sought to elevate her sex, but to confine
women to a sphere for which nature had
fitted her and in which she could be of
the greatest use.
Os course it only a matter of choice with
Judge Atkinson whether he resigns the of
fice of Railroad Commissioner while he is
making the race for the governorship. Fie
has the choosing, but the ehoice he makes
hay have some bearing with the people.—
Albany Herald.
The only difference will be to lesson or
increase his minority, that’s all.
“We are glad that Georgia is able to
honor a man, who. though a candidate on
the eve of nomination, is not afraid to at
tack the eorrption of a powerful and high
ly honored sect; who is brave enough to
have convictions and not afraid to stand
by them.
Emperor William is well provided with
wheels. It is stated that he owns 365 car
riages. These art in additions to the
wheels in his head.
The Thomasville Times-Enterprise inti
mates that Atkinson cannot carry South
Georgia. But, then, nobody believes he
could, anyway.
Why not appoint Max MeyerSardt sec
retary of state? That letter was worth
it —if it is as important as the Atkinson
crowd say . it is.
The Rome Tribune exclaims, “Let it he
a clean campaign." Now let Max Mayer
hardt chime in, “amen."
So Judge Atkinson is not to be the only
mourner: he should thank Mr. Berner for
keeping him company.
Atlanta has stamped out smallpox. A
pest house and compulsory vaccination did
the wrok.
We shudder,to think of the support Mrs.
Myrick will give the gay Monroe Lotha
rio.
It’s a good thing there are men in Con
gress who have more sense than Senator
Billie Mason.
Senator Mason should go and lick that
hotel clerk before he tackles Spain.
Judge Atkinson’s platform so far is—
“no kin to Bill.”
Mr. Berner, at least, is not handicapped
by his name.

BRADSTREETS
Has Made up Its Report For the Year That
is Passed.
The financial anatomists of Bradstreet's
commercial agency have held an autopsy
on the dead body of the year 1897, and
alter fully dissecting it and stripping
everything from the dry boa s of cold
fact, they have articulated the skeleton of
the old year and now exhibit it for the
edification of the business public.
This exhibit is made in a mortuary vol
ume significantly entitled “A Record; .Not
a Prospectus." In this the financial mor
tality is given in full and in detail, with
the causes of failure. These causes show,
as usual, that Providence and the times
help those who help themselves. Self
responsibility is Indicated in two-thirds of
the failures, which are attributed to lack
of capital, incompetency, inexperience,
fraudulent disposition, personal extrava
gance, unwise granting of credits, neglect
and speculation.
The causes not due to the faults of
those failing acounted for 32.6 per cent of
the cases, and in< luded disaster, failures
of others and undue competition.
As usual, l-ack of capital was the most
prolific cause of failure, and accounted
for 31.4 per cent of the cases. There has
been a progressive increase in the number
of failures from this cause during the
past three years, and the figures invaria
ble- reflect the folly of the man who goes
ifito business without enough money.
The approach to normal conditions is in
dicated by a sllgnt percentage of decrease
in financial mortality, and by the larger
proportion of failures of men with small
means and limited or poor credit. During
and since the panic there have been many
failures of large firms whose credit was
comparatively good. During 1697 78.8 per
cent of the failures were by men or con
cerns who had no financial rating at all.
From 1893 to 18fH> the proportion of such
failures ranged from 69.7 to 72.3 per cent.
Before the panic in the years 1890 to 1892,
It ranged from 91 to 93 per cent. The year
just past is ntarer to normal conditions
than any since the panic, and there has
been a progressive movement in that di
rection for several years, but as in all
post-panic periods, the progress has been
slow.
Os the 13,083 failures In the United
States during 1897, there were just 2,000
in the Southern states, due to the follow
ing causes: Incompetence, 140; inexperi
ence, 94; lack of capital, 506; unwise cred
its, 30; failures of others, 58; extrava
gance, 9; neglect, 41; competition, 48; dis
aster, 706; speculation, 23; fraud, 355.
The failures in the South in 1896 were
2,451, or 22'Xi per cent more than last year.
It is unpleasant to record that ‘there has
been a slight progressive increase in fraud
as a cause of failure in the United States.
During the pact four jAars it has increas
ed gradually from 8 to 10.2 per cent. In the
Southern states it grew from 288 to 371
in three years, but fell off last year to

The new woman coin
tnands love and adtni
ration because she has 7/\ L/
the beauty and
tiveness of health and
high spirits. She is truly a woman.
She is not necessarily an athletic wo
man. She is merely strong and healthy
in every way. She knows something of
her own physical make-up. She knows
the importance of the organs that make
her . a woman. She knows that if she
keeps them healthy she need never be
very sick.
“ How can she keep them healthy ? ”
By proper care in the first place—-by
proper medicine in the second. Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is for tlie
cure of all the ills distinctly feminine.
It makes a new woman out of a fagged,
nervous, thin, useless, worn, discouraged
wreck of femininity.
It is for one purpose only—to make
women strong and well in a womanly
way—to make life worth living—to drive
away the dragging, aching, insanity-pro
ducing pains from which diseased-woman
kind suffers. It is the invention of a
regularly graduated—skilled, expert spe
cialist in the treatment of the diseases of
women. It has had a larger sale than
any other like medicine. Get it at your
druggist’s and do not be persuaded to
take a substitute.
Constipation is the father of all manner of mal
adies. If it did not exist, or was in cases prompt
ly relieved, the majority of medical books could ,
be safely destroyed. It is the easiest sickness to
neglect and the simplest to cure Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Pellets will cure constipation every
time. They cure it promptly, completely and
permar ently. They never gripe.

The Reason s 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 for it.
The New England Conservatory of Music
did not kapen 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.
