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 , V . , s trc <ted in the southern distributed as follows; Five in North Carolina, three in South CaroPna no in Alabama and two in Tennessee’ Two miscellaneous mills were established in ‘the south, namely, dye iil dnt v works at Louisville, Ky„ and dye work! at Tarboro, N. C. ’ ork ' 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.

Goodman Huges, Dahlonega, Ga. 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 i|r n / A \ 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 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.
