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. Mr. Bryan will be given an ovation in Macon, • 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 50c. a bottle at H. J. Lamar & Sons’ drug ’tore.

You can talk to 10,000 every dav through the columns of The News. 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.
