Mr. Bryan is Coming.
On Wednesday next Macon will have
the honor of entertaining ami the pleasure
of listening to the next president of the
United Slates—Hon. William Jennings
Bryan.
As announced in The News today, Mr.
Bryan has accepted an invitation to speak
in Macon on Wednesday evening next. The
object of his visit to Macon is.simply to
mm with our people and to expound
Democratic-doctrine as he alone can ex
pound it. Contrary to the statements so
, frequently made by opposition newspapers,
• it will cost the people nothing to hear this
’champion of the people. Following his
custom, he makes no charge unless the
Democratic loaders of this county wish it
for the purpose of raising a campaign
fund. In such eases Mr. Bryan, although
a poor man, simply accepts an amount
sufficient to cover his actual expenses,
leaving the thousands of dollars that are
thus raised by his efforts to Democratic
organizations, to be used for legitimate
campaign purposes. Inasmuch, however, '
as little or no campaign fund is ever
needed in Bibb county, which is, always
has been and always will be solidly Dem
ocratic, no charge will be made on this
occasion, and everybody will, be given an
opportunity to hear the great Democratic
loader.
Mr. Bryan’s visit 'to Macon will be
rightly considered a very important event,
and preparations will no doubt be made to
give him the sort of reception that the
occasion demands. We should do nothing
by halves, but go in to entertain the next
president of the United States in a man
ner befitting his prospective position, as
well as his present standing as a leader of
men and the champion of a mighty cause.
Macon should take her gates off the
hinges, put on her holiday clothes, turn
on the steam whistles, ring the bells, turn
out the brass bands, and make it a Dem
ocratic jubilee worthy of the man and the
cause.
Some of the ring ‘‘ciaimers” are claim
ing Fulton county for Atkinson. All be
cause the Capital City Club is for him.
But when voting time comes they will
learn that that spike-tailed, cock-tailed
organization cuts very little ice outside
of its own ‘‘set.”
Facts About Southern Farmers.
In a speech recently delivered in Boston
Representative Landis, of Indiana, made
the statement that the Southern farmer
“knows little else than cotton.”*
Commenting on His statement, the Balti
more 'Manufacturers’ Record presents these
figures which show that besides its enor
mous cotton crop, the South’s production
of other farm products will compare most
favorably with the rest of the country:
“Fourteen Southern states raised in 1896
of crops common to the whole country, 44,-
776,263 bushels of corn, 70,(112,742 bushels
of oats. 3,760,167 tons of hay, 20,959,403
(bushels of potatoes. 320,725,310 pounds of
tobacco and 38,530,181 pounds of wool be
sides sugar and molasses.”
This comparison of the South- live stock
'exhibit as efimpared with that of the rest
of the country, is also given:
South.- Elsewhere
• H0r5e53,525,322 11,598,834
Mules 1,534,410 744,536
Milch cows 3.763,046 12,374,540
iCathe.. .. 9,908,488 22,176,92’j
, 5wine19,075,262* 33,767,488
Sheep 6,584,704 31,714,079
The Record adds: “Moreover, the figures
of the census of IS9O are illuminating even
at this late (Jay. In that year the South
grew $6,484,660 worth of truck, 27,793,405
bushels of peaches (nearly 80 per cent of
the whole crop,) 46,948,398 bushels of ap
plese, (more than 32 per eent. of the whole
crop,) 21,532 tons of grapes. 311,470 bush
els of cherries, 563,246 bushels of pears,
721,099 bushels of plums, nearly half the
Jiuts ami semi-tropical fruits, 38 per cent
of the crop of peas and beans, nearly all
>the peanuts, all the rice, besides poultry,
eggs and dairy products. The tot-al value
of all agricultural products in the. South
was 31 per cent.”
If Mr. Landis had investigated he would
have found also that the Southern farms
are less encumbered by mortgages than
those of the North, comments the Birui.ng
ham News. As an instance, it may be
cited that Michigan, which has 172,000
farmers, has 144,000 farm mortgages. Ten
nessee, which has 174.000, or 2,000 more
farms than Michigan, has only 17,000
moi tgaged farms. The Michigan mortga
ges average more than the Tennessee
mortgages. The same relative comparison
obtains with the majority of states of the
two sections.
It does not follow that the man who de- ■
clines to swallow fake dispatches will .not
be ready to fight if the honor of the coun
try requires it, mentions the Mobile Her
ald.
To Search for Andree.
An expedition is now being organized
to start at the beginning of the coming
summer In search of Andree, the balloon
ist. who on July last set out on an aerial
voyage to the North pole. Dr. Nansen
believes that Andree is safe, although
there are few persons who agree with him
He said recently that it is not reasonable
to expect any news of the balloon expedi
tion be fco re August, because the dar
ing balloonist may be in Franz Josef
Land, in North or East Greenland, in
Siberia or even in the Spitzberzen. Dr.
Nansen says: “It must be remembered
\hat Andree has plenty of guns and am
munition, so that his prospects of surviv
ing the winter are just as good as ours
were. If he is in Franz Josef Land he will
be all right, add will be able to come
home next summer by one of the whalers.”
“It has been discovered that dispatches
(bearing a Key West date line are gener
ally Keywestionable,” says the Kansas
City Journal.
Two Victories for the News-and the People.
If the Board of Health is not to be a body of mere puppets, it seems to us that
council has no rigot to even consider the wisdom of its action in calling for compul
sory vaccination. If the Board is wrong in making this demand it alone is respon
sible for its actions. It is charged.with a most important duty, and it cannot prop
erly perform that duty if it must be dictated to by another body. We are loth to
offer any criticism of public officials, at a time like this, but we cannot fail to
foresee the possibility of great damage to this community if the proverbial “ounce
cf prevention” is not resorted to at once. Either the Board of Health should be
allowed to manage this threatened epidemic as its experience and knowledge
dictates, or rhe men :,er- of the Board should resign.—Evening News, January 28th.
K woald be better still if the commissioners weald call upon a certain number
of the county’s best phy.-i lans to act as a Board of Health for a time. Suvh a
board, it is true, would have no authority of law, but their acts and suggestions
could be given authority by the cominis signers thpmsel-.es—the same ‘ authority
which they now exercise. Such a board ould be in a better position to handle
tl:u epiitmic as it ,-houl-I be bandied, and, we confidently believe, the arrangement
would be of the greatest benefit from the outset.—Evening News, February 17.
Compulsory Vaccination.
When The News took its stand with the
Board of Mealth at the very outset of the
threatened smallpox epidemic, and de
manded that council recognize the right of
the health authorit.es <.o deal with the
matter as they saw fit, a great many people
cried out: 'Stop agitating the vaccination
question; you will ruin Macon.” These
same people woultf have had the facts as
to the existence of smallpox in Macon en
tirely suppressed, never realizing that by
pursuing such a course the a would cause
the trouble to be magnified ten-fold.
But conscious of being right. The New*
continued to uphold the Berard of Health’s
demand for a compulsory vaccination or
dinance. In doing so we simply contended
that council had no discretion in the mat
ter whatever; that it was for the Board
ot Health to say whether or not compul
sory vaccination is necessary. At the same
time, we attempted, for the good of the
community to combat some of the igno
rance and 'prejudice that had been arous
ed against vaccination.
Some few narrow minds called The News
an alarmist, but the physicians of Macon,
who are certainly belter qualified to speak
on the subject than anyone else, endorsed,
almost to a man, The News’ position. The
same is true of a great majority of the
most prominent and intelligent citizens, all
of whom recognized the fact that the dan
ger frpjn smallpox was not in admitting
the existence of the disease and using
every means to cope with it, but in treat
ing the matter lightly and stubbornly re
fusing to take those precautions whic'n
science and experience suggest.
Now, however, that council has seen the
error if its ways, or rather the justice of
the contenion that this is a matter for the
Board of Health, and not for council, to
deal with, there is no cause for further
trouble or uuneasipess, It is undoubtedly
true that some time has been wasted, but
still, no great harm has been done, and it
should now be an easy matter to put down
the disease in Macon.
The News begs to assure those people
who have been rendered nervous by the
frequent publications (relative to smallpox,
that council’s sensible action has put an
end to these publications—except so far as
may 'be, front time to time, necessary to
give a truthful record of the progress of
the disease; or, tn other 'Words, a mere
report of the new cases, if there be any
more. The News has ’’accom'plished its
purpose, and it has no wish to keep the
matter before the public any longer. 'We
desired that the Board of Health be sus
tained, and council has, at last, taken the
proper action. We congratulate that body
and the people of Macon upon the outcome.
FoFttunateil council has not waited 'too
long, and the prediction may be safely
made that smallpox will be stamped out of
Macon -within a few weeks, and Jhat from
now on she will be practically immune.
The only two living ex-Presidents’of the
United States have given the country their
views through the New York World on the
duty of the hour in connection with the
Maine affair. Mr. Harrison simply said:
“To wait.” While Mr. Cleveland abso
lutely declined to be interviewed on the
subject, he emphatically expressed the
opinion tliat this was especially a time for
•almness and conservatism. He added that
in his judgment nothing could be more
langerous and reprehensible than sensa
tional statements constantly appearing in
the press, based upon nothing better tfyan
mere guesses and a desire to exhibit false
and silly newspaper enterprise, so called.
Spencer R. Atkinson Is squarely in the
race for governor. He will carry every
■ounty in the Eleventh congressional dis
trict, but it is too early yet to figure on
the balance of the state, especially the
middle portion.—(Douglass Breeze. If left
to a vote of the people in primaries, in
stead of to a handful of politicians in snap
inass-meetings, we are willing to wager
that he will do no such thing. And we
will wager, moreover, that he will not
•arry a score of counties outside of the
Sleventh district.
To ascertain to what depths some of
the Washington correspondents will go,
remarks a contemporary, to make sensa
tional new’s It is only necessary to know
that one of them telegraphs to his paper
that Senator Mason passed a quiet day.
Unless all signs are read awrong the
Atkinson contingency is rattled and badly
rattled at that and all'on account of that
little announcement of Bob Berner.—
Athens Banner.
Occasionally it may take our esteemed
city administration a little while to get
right, but, after all. it usually manages
to wind up on the right side.*
The Washington Tost still believes that
Mr. Reed will be able to keep the con
gressional gun cotton heavily flooded.
Our compliments to the mayor and coun
cil. and let us remember that “all’s well
that ends ‘well.”
AVe are willing to bet that the Atlanta
Journal is already sorry it didn’t follow'
the procession.
Now that council has “give in” it is
immune from further prodding from this
source.

• A Clever (Trick.
It certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can try
it who has lame back and weak kidneys,
malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he
can cure himself right away by taking
Electric Bitters. This medicine tones up
the whole system, acts as a stimulant to
the liver and kidneys, is a blood purifier
and nerve tonic. It cures constipation,
headache, fainting spells, sleeplessness
and melancholy. It is purely vegetable, a
mild laxative, and restores the system to
its natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and
be convinced that they are a miracle
worker. • Every bottle guaranteed. Only

A Straight Line.
“A straight line is the shortest distance
Detween two points. (Geometrical Defini
tion.) A telephone line is the quickest
*nd most satisfactory means of communi
cation between two points. (Commercial

Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph
Company affords the means of holding pri

dents in Atlanta, Rome, Newnan, Griffin.
Columbus, Opelika, Americus, Albany,
Athens and intermediate towns, and gives
the advantages of personal interviews
without the expense, fatigue and incon
venience of traveling.
Second point—A night rate has been
established and connections between the
hours of 6 p. m. and 8 a. m. can be had at
•ne-half of the day rates.

County Board of Health.
One of the quickest and most gratifying
results of The News’ fight for vigorous and
inteligent treatment of the threatened
smallpox epidemic, is the action of the
county commissioners in establishing a
j County Board of Health, on the lines sug
i ge-sted by this paper when smallpox first
made its appearance outside the city limits.
County Commissioner Jenkins, who in
, troduced the resolution at yesterday’s
meeting creating a Board of Health for the
county, stated that he had read The News’
| suggestion and had come to the conclusion
that it was the very best thing to do un
der the circumstances.. The other com
missioners were impressed with the same
idea, and a County Board of Health was
duly formed, to be composed of a leading
physician and two citizens from each of
the seven districts of the county.
It stands to reason that such a board
will be better able to copc with the
threatened epidemic than would the com
missioners themselves, whose manifold du
ties would not permit of that active, vigo
rous attention to the matter that is so
necessary on occasions of this kind-. Per
sonal interest as well as regard for patri
otic duty will make each member of -the
County Board of Health zealously guard
the health*of his district, and they will
all work faithfully to put down the threat
ened epidemic. •
it is especially pleasing that the county
commissioners are reasonable, thinking,
broad-minded men, men who can be ap
proached with a sugestion without feeling
that their authority is being encroached
upon. It is greatly to t'heir credit that
they have given this suggestion prompt
consideration and have acted upon it in
a patriotic spirit.
We think a majority of the citizens of
the county will agree with us when we say
such a board as has been created by the
commissioners would be of great benefit 'to
the county if it could -be made permanent.
This, we think, the commissioners will see
before it has been long in existence, and,
in that case, a bill should be framed ask
ing the General ’Assembly to create such a
board. The thickly populated outlying
suburbs are greatly in need of health reg
ulations, and it would lie in the power of
such a board to render these communities
free from the danger of contagious and
infectious diseases.
We'cannot too heartily commend the
county commissioners for their wise and
timely action, and we are sure -the citizens
of Bibb county will heartily endorse what
they have done.

A Washington Incident.
There was an interchange of courtesies
at a recent reception in which the wife of
a former congressman and the wife of a
bureau official w. re the principals. It was
a crowded afternoon affair, and the ex
congjissman s wife was assisting the host
ess in receiving tho guests.’ When the w ife
of the bureau official was presented, the
hostess said to the woman of the receiving
party, “You know Mrs. Blank, don't
you.' “Certainly,’’ said the ex-congress
man’s wife, “I would know her anywhere
by that pink dress." The cheeks of the
bureau offieinlN wife were suffused with a
rosy glow, but bite turned ou her tormentor
. and said. “Probably if my husband bad
been mixed up in as many questionable
transactions as yours, madam, it would
not be nete.-saiy for tno to wear my pink
reception dress so often as to cause com
ment. “ Every w.;rd rang out clear and
sh.«rp upon tho cars of the astonished
guests. Inasmuch as there had been fre
quent criticism of. the ex congressman for
his connection with questionable trar.sac
