They do say Judge Atkinson’s Dooly
county effort fell flat. South Georgia
seems to be coming up right along—for
Candler.
The fact can't be disguised that Berner
is stronger than Atkinson —'and that Cand
ler is far stronger than both of them.
The Macon Telegraph and Atlanta Jour
nal stand almost alone in their opposition
to early primaries. But as neither is en
titled to a voice in those primaries, even
they should become reconciled.
The Monroe Advertiser has this to say
of Congressman Bartlett: ‘‘The speech of
Congressman C. L. Bartlett on the Hen
derson bankruptcy, bill, was an able one
and has been highly complimented. Mr.
Bartlett is an able, conscientious and tire
less worker, and has done much for the
people of his district.”
The Atlanta Commerieial, in endorsing a
recent editorial in The News, says: “The
Macon News, in reviewing the supreme
court’s decision in the Flanagan case, very
properly inquires why the same law should
not apply to Mrs. Nobles. IWe have full
confidence in the integrity and wisdom of
the board, and that inclines us to believe
it will commute the woman’s sentence, if
not pardon her absolutely.”
Fully ninety per cent, of the newspapers
of the state have endorsed the early prim
aries. Here is another endorsement from
the Telfair Enterprise, an Atkinson sup
porter: “We heartily commend the state
Democratic committee’s action in calling
primaries for the election of delegates to
the state convention to nominate a gov
ernor and state house officers. A long
contest for party nominations is very un
wise, we think; better get in trim to fight
the party enemies, instead of an all sum
mer’s fight inside of party ranks.”
Says the Thomasville Times-Enterprise:
“Candler scores a point, and a telling one,
too, on Atkinson, in addressing him a let
ter in reply to one from the judge, pro
posing a joint debate. Colonel Candler
addresses him as, “Honorable Spencer R.
Atkinson, Railroad Commissioner, Atlan
ta, Ga.’ The fact that Judge Atkinson is
holding on to one fat office, while reach
ing cut for another, will not be relished
by the people of Georgia. It will be re
membered that Colonel Candler promptly
resigned as secretary of state, when he
announced himself as a candidate for
governor.”
An agent of the Merrimac .Manufactur
ing Company, of Massachusetts, is in
Georgia “looking over the ground." It has
not yet been determined that the mills
shall be moved to the base of the cotton
supply in the South, but it is significant
that the company has an eye on this sec
tion, notes the Birmingham News. It
doubtless recognizes that the inevitable
must come and that the South is soon to
be the seat of the cotton manufacturing
industry of the continent. Every Southern
state is filled with favorable mill sites and
the wise and progressive cotton manufac
turers are availing themeslves of them.
Says the Thomaston Times: “It now
seems that the Hon. Charles L. Bartlett
will have a clean sweep in the primary,
and why should he not have? Bartlett is
a man of brains and energy and is loyal
to his party and to his constituents. He i
is one of the hardest workers in the lower !
house of Congress, and, having been there j
two terms, he is well acquainted with his '
fellow statesmen, with the plans of work !
pursued by the national law makers and
is now in better position than ever before ■
to serve the people he represents. The i
Sixth district could not do better than to ■
elect Mr. Bartlett for a third term, and !
lhe voters having realized this, will ‘put
iim through.”
The Washington Post throws this bou
|uet to Congressman J. M. Griggs: “No j
recent publication of a speech in the con- '
gressional Record has been so freely punc
tuated with applause as that of Represen
tative Griggs, of Georgia, and it is justly
so, for Mr. Griggs did great credit to him
self, and made a very favorable impression
upon the House. There was sufficient
politics in his argument to arouse the en
thusiasm of the minority, and sufficient
force and humor to command the atten
tion of his political opponents. In con
trasting the conditions between North and
South Mr. Griggs paid his respects to New
England, and declared that ‘the average
Southerner would not feed his worst enemy
on the stale bread and beans which are
the staple food of New England working
men.’” ,
Tne Coming Crisis.
i Events which forebode a conflict be
\ tween this country and Spain continue to
multiply until now no man, however
; conservative, can really doubt that a crl
i sis is almost at hand.
There is now hardly any doubt of the
i fact that the president will act immediate
i ly in the Cuban matter, and it is not to be
; believed that he will content himself with
' recognition o’ the Cuban government. On
the contrary, public sentiment has forced
nim to yield, and nothing short of active
j interference will satisfy the popular de
mand. For once the Republican party has
been compelled to ignore Wall Street and
McKinley has been compelled to ignore
H a v 3. d a. *■
to much positive evidence of the inhu
man outrages practiced by the Spanish in
Cuba has been offered by statesmen whose
j testimony is worthy of belief, that even
: the‘most conservative of our people now
. demand that an end be put to the Cuban
I srtuggle. It is another Armenia, and that,
too, right at our doors.
The president evidently realizes that
: there is no way out of it, and for several
: weeks past he has been making active
l prepatations to meet the issue. The crisis
I cannot be long delayed. It may may come
i today, tomorrow’; it cannot be later than
: next week.
Whether or not the president's action
will mean war will depend entirely upon
Spain, as will also the character of the
struggle. But war, at 'last, seems inevita
ble. And, regardless of the Maine disas
ter, the attitude of this government is
founded on right, justice and humanity.
Senator Thurston's Speech,
Senator Thurston’s speech in the United
States Senate yesterday was one of the
most dramatic efforts ever delivered in
that body. Aside from its tragic features,
however, it was in every way an eloquent
and masterful effort, and bids fair to go
down to history as one of the most mem
orable speeches of these troublous times.
There is no estimating the effect of such
a speech just at this time. Coming as it
does from the chairman of the convention
which nominated President McKinley as
well as from a strong supporter of the ad
ministration, it is significant to a degree
and indicates the strong pressure that is
being brought to bear on the President in
official circles. Moreover, the speech was
so genuinely sincere and so evidently
truthful that it is simply unanswerable,
and, will, therefore, be accepted by ths
American people as conclusive proof of the
horrors that exist in Cuba, for which we,
as near neighbors, are, to a certain extent,
morally responsible. It will also be ac
cepted as a conservative yet positive esti
mate of our duty in the premises, and as
such will convince the majority of Amer
ican people that to delay longer would be
criminal.
Mr. Stevens’ Campaign.
Hon. O. B. Stevens, South Georgia’s
candidate for commissioner of agriculture,
was in iMacon a few hours yesterday. Since
announcing his candidacy Mr. Stevens has
visited fully half of the counties of the
state, and he is meeting with splendid
success everywhere. He is making the
most vigorous campaign of any of the can
didates for state house offices, and he is
rightly meeting with proportionate suc
cess. Everything indicates that Mr. Ste
vens will get Bibb's six votes, and his
nomination is looked upon by his friends
as a certainty. As The News has repeat
edly stated, the people of Georgia could
select no better man for the place. He is
not only a man of splendid business abil
ity and long experience in state affairs,
but he is a. practical farmer and one of the
most successful in Georgia.
A dispatch from Versailles, Ind., the
town where five men were lynched some
time ago because they were suspected of
burglary, says there is a movement in
Ripley county looking to the nomination
of Hezekiah Hughes as sheriff as a rebuke
to Governor Mount. Hezekiah Hughes is
supposed to have been one of the leaders
of the lynching bee. He was a few weeks
ago brought to trial for the crime as a
result of the energetic action of Governor
Mount and the district attorney. It ap
pears that there was very srong circum
stantial evidence against Hughes, but it
was impossible to get direct testimony
against him, and upon trial he was ac
quitted in short order. The trial was so
farcical that the prosecuting attorney
said, when the verdict was rendered, that
it really seemed from the testimony that
the five men bad broken jail and gone out
and hanged themselves. “The proposition
to elect Hughes to a high office,” correct- I
ly concludes the Savannah News, “marks
the difference in the manner in which
lynching is regarded in Indiana and the
South. In this section of the country such
deeds may be condoned under certain cir- j
cumstances, but they are never glorified.” I

Mr. Editor: Seldom have the telegrams
■of a single day combined two more sig.ni
ficen t events than those of today which
report (1) the abandonment of the long
established custom of christening vessels
with wine, and (2) the decision of the su
preme court of Georgia uphold the consti
tutionality of the dispensary laws and de
claring that no individual has “a property
right to have issued to him a license to
sell intoxicating liquors.”
The first event indicates the subtle power
of growing public opinion. It is no longer
decorous to parade intoxicating liquors on
social occasions. And it was, to the liquor
traffic, “the unkindest cut of all,” that
the vessel whose launching signalized this
fact was “The Kentucky.” This was al
most as striking a when “old Bourbon” ;
county went dry in a local option election. ■
The other event indicates the broadening ■
scope of legal methods or restricting and i
prohibiting the traffic. Where now are the ■
jurists who declared the anti-barroom bill •
would not stand the test of the courts? i

MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 25 1898.
THE OLD CIRCUS MAN.
HIS TALK ABOUT THE FIRST SOUVE-
NIRS GIVEN BY SHOW PEOPLE.
They Were Distributed by the Great Gi
raffe A Thrilling Incident Which At
tended One Performance—How the Peo
ple Stood on the Giraffe's Shadow.
"The first souvenirs I ever knew of
i being given out in the show business,”
said the old circus man, "we gave away
in our shew at the time we had the big
18 foot giraffe. Wo never had au at
traction that beat the tig giraffe. The
people were just carried away with
him. There wasn’t anything about him
but what interested them, even the
slightest little things. On clear days,
when we were where we could do it and
the sun was right for us, we used to get
the giraffe out in front of the entrance
of the main tent and have him stand
i there like a great sentry. People used to
step and look up at him, and then the
first thing you know somebody’d dis
cover his shadder. Anybody’d cast a
long shadder at that hour of the day, of
course, but the giraffe's shadder reached
as far as you could see. And as soon as
one man begun to look at it 40 others
: did, and then you’d see ’em. I’ve seen
1,000 people at a timeline up long that
shadder and just stand along the edge
of it down past the main tent and the
sideshow tents, just standing there
lookin at it. The giraffe was great, but
his shadder fairly staggered ’em. And
there they’d stand till the sun dropped
down under the edge of the earth, and
the first thing they knew there wasn’t
any shadder. Then they’d stare at each
other for a minute, and then all bunch
up together again and look at the giraffe
till we took him in.
"We used to have a line on the pro
gramme saying that at 3 o’clock and at
9 o’clock the great giraffe would hand
around ice water. That’s where the sou
venirs come in. We used to give away
the glasses the water was in. The glasses
were marked, ‘Souvenir of the Great
Giraffe,’ and whoever got ’em could
keep ’em. The seats in our circus were
divided into four sections. We used to
give away four dozen tumblers at every
performance, one in each section When
the time come, we’d march the giraffe
around the edge of the ring, and in
front of each section his keeper would
baud him a wire holder holding a dozen
glasses, which he would take by the
handle in his mouth. Tall as he was, he
could reach easy to the highest back
seats. It’s astonishing how people used
to grab for those glasses. It seems as
though the whole section would stand
up on the seats and all grab for the
holder when it come near ’em. They’d
spill the water and get wet and have
the greatest time you ever heard of, but
nobody got hurt, and so we just let her
buzz along. But finally something did
happen. :
“At one evening entertainment when
he was serving out the souvenirs, when
we come to one of the sections, there was
a man sitting on the fourth tier from
the top who picked up his boy, a bright
looking youngster about 10 years old,
who was sitting alongside of him, and
sat him up on his shoulder. The giraffe
lifted the holder up and swept it along
the seats with the people grabbing, and
when it come near this man with the
boy on his shoulder the man just lifted
him up so that the boy could stand on
his shoulders. He was going to get one
anyway, and when the holder came
along the boy made a grab for it. There
was only one glass left in it then, but
the boy got it. He upset it lifting it out
of the holder and scattered the water
all over everybody, but that didn’t
count. He got the glass and was com
ing down with it when his father, in
stead of feeling him jounce down on his
shoulder, felt his weight growing light
er, and the next minute he and every
body else saw the boy suspended in the
air. When the giraffe saw the last glass
go, he lifted the bolder, the way he al
ways did, to clear the people before
swinging it around and down to the
keeper. This time when he lifted it the
buttons on the outside of the cuff of the
boy’s jacket got caught la the wires.
They were sewed cm the way mothers
sew on buttons, and they held the
youngster’s weight easily, and when
the giraffe lifted the holder up he lifted
the bey with it
"Then there was a scene. We knew
the giraffe wouldn’t hurt a fly, but it
looked to the people as though he had
the boy in his teeth and -was going to
sling him through the other end of no
where. The whole audience rose up and
stood leaning forrard, watchin and
never say in boo, but the giraffe swung
his neck around as gentle and easy as
the arm of a crane and lowered the
holder and the boy hanging to it safe
into the arms of the keeper in the ring.
The boy hadn’t even dropped the tum
bler.
"Then the people did holler, and the
giraffe walked off as stately as you
please, the boy climbed back up to his
pop, and the show went on. Nobody
hurt, but when we run out of the tum
blers we had on hand we adopted an
other style of souvenir.”—New York
Sun.

you didn’t attend his exhibition of
paintings.”
"I was detained.”
"But he kept the gallery open very
late. ’’

a little later. ” —Cleveland Plain Dealer.

CLAY, CALHOUN, WEBSTER.
Recollections cf a Woman Still Living Who
Met the Famous Trio In Washington.
Mrs. William Armstrong Davison, now
in her eighty-fifth ycar, lives in Jefferson
City. She was a conspicuous woman in
the society of Washington in the times of
Clay, Webster and others who made his
tory.
Os Webster she says: "He was the most
unusual looking man I ever saw, his dark
skin and beetling brows having earned lor
him the cognomen of ‘Black Dan.’ In
manner and dress be was most scrupulous.
His coat, modeled on the Byronio lines of
the times, was blue in color, ornamented
with brass-buttons. He was a noticeable
figure anywhere. I was not surprised
when afterward I beard his speeches in
the senate chamber, where six years before
he had made himself famous in his cele
brated reply to Eayne of South Carolina,
with his wonderful gift of oratory and a
voice ponderous in volume. I became per
sonally conscious of that -feeling of awe
which caused his opponents to consider
him in oratorical combat one of the most
formidable of adversaries.
“During one of my visits to the senate
Mrs. Linn and I were being ushered to
the Whig side of the house when we saw
approaching us Dr. Linn and a tall and
exceedingly handsome man.
“ ’I want to present to you a friend of
your father,’ Dr. Lian said, turning to me
and introducing Henry Clay. Making a
most elaborate bow, Mr. Clay spoke of my
home in his flowery way. ‘Oh, that little
Whig city, Wheeling, the very Eden of my
heart!’
“We next spoke to John C. Calhoun,
and I wondered why Vice President Van
Buren chose to emphasize his insignificant
appearance by calling Senator Calhoun,
who was dignified and the typical states
man, to occupy the chair in his absence.
The vice president’s figure was small and
weazened. His whole appearance as well
as his character justified bis sobriquet
‘Fox.’ He was a widower and much given
to ladies’ society.”
Asked about tbo dress of that time, Mrs.
Davison replied:
“Our dresses were nearly all made alike
—that was one satisfaction. For evening
wear light colored silks, cut short waisted,
with sleeves of large puffs, in which we
frequently wore pillows, to give them the
requisite size. Our skirts cleared the floor
about six inches, and we wore white silk
stockings and satin slippers. For day
wear our gowns were of dark silks, decol
lete, with detachable long sleeves to slip
under the puffs. Over the shoulders we
wore a cape of the silk, and we substituted
black stockings and slippers for the white
ones. One of my bonnets was a coal scut
tle shape of cream velvet, surmounted by
high standing white plumes. The men
wore colored coats with brass buttons,
fanciful waistcoats and soft white Byron
collars, with black silk stocks.”
Every eno Os Mrs. Davison’s children,
of whom she has eight living (her home is
with the eldest, Dr. A. C. Davison), and
nearly every one among her grandchil
dren, has some trophy of those bygone
days. Brocades, laces, berthas, old fans,
a cable chain of gold with monocle attach
ed, her wedding gown waist, in which her
granddaughter and namesake has been
photographed, a garnet and turquoise bead
reticule, which she bestowed upon me—all
are preserved with great pride and care.—

Mme. JBonaparte’s Huge Gong.
Mme. Caroline J. Bonaparte, widow of
Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, lives in a
house on K street immediately adjoining
the residence of John Addison Porter, sec
retary to the president. Among the other
domestic paraphernalia of Mme. Bonaparte
is a certain huge gong located in the sta
ble at the rear of her house, by means of
which she summons the coachman and
other servants when she desires their as
sistance. Mr. Porter’s wife has been seri
ously ill for some time, but Mme. Bona
parte’s desire for the comfort and company
of her servants has been by no means less
ened on that account. On the contrary,
the btg bell has boomed out time and
again, day and night, until Mr. Porter
had forgotten the Cuban situation, the an
noyance of office seekers and everything
else. He accordingly filed a complaint
w ith the District commissioners, alleging
that the ringing of the big gong was a
public nuisance and should be suppressed
by the police. That department accord
ingly sent out Lieutenant Boyle, who had
an interview with the relict of the distin
guished scion cf the French imperial fam
ily, and as a result presented an official
report in which be said that “Mme. Bona
parte says she will continue to use the
gong just as she has done for the last 13
years.”
Further investigation showed that the
police regulations could suppress bells and
similar nuisances only when they were
rung in public streets and alleys. Secre
tary Porter thereupon took an appeal to
Commissioner Wight, who has charge cf
the police bureau, but thus far no means
have been suggested to relieve Mr. Porter
of the nuisance except by moans of a form
al suit in court. The controversy is a fun
ny one, but up to date Mme. Bonaparte,
who has something of a reputation for
firmness, is decidedly triumphant and cor
respondingly exultant. With all the power
of the administration behind him, Mr.
Porter has been unable to suppress the Lig
gong in the stable, and his sick wife is
correspondingly the sufferer.—Washing
ton Latter in Chicago Tribune.
Mme. de Louie.
Although Dupuy de Lome’s troubles do
not seem to weigh heavily on him, Mme.
de Lome prostrated by the blow. She is
the only child of a merchant prince of
Cadiz and brought to her poor but noble
husband a dower of more than $3,00u,000.
She is an unusually ambitious woman and
has spent her money liberally to further
her busband’s political fortunes. During
the evil days when Madrid was skirmish
ing for finances with which to keep up the
$200,000 per annum which Spain boasted
was the salary of her minister, Mme. de
Lome’s private purse was at her husband’s
disposal, and It is stated that she has spent
$200,000 since they came to Washington.

A Feathered Surgeon.
A story is told which would indicate
that swallows have considerable surgical
skill as well as intelligence.
A certain physician found in a nest a
young swallow much weaker than its
mate, which had one of its legs bandaged
with horsehairs. Taking the hairs away,
he found that the bird’s leg was broken.
The next time he visited the nest he
found the leg again bandaged. He con
tinued to observe “the case,” and in two
weeks found that the bird was cautiously
removing the hairs, a few each day.
The cure was entirely successful.—Pear

Absolutely Pure
Japan au Object Lesson.
Japan’s present experience is affording
the world some exceedingly valuable testi
mony on a variety of important economic
problems. She furnishes a panoramic ob
ject lesson in industrial evolution so rapid
that we may perhaps see the whole process
of transformation from barbarism to com
paratively advanced civilization in the
course of one generation The very rapid
ity of movement increases the friction and
hardship, but it will bring Japan out of
the slough all the sooner. Capital is in
troducing the instruments of civilization;
upon labor rests the responsibility of dis
tributing the benefits of that civilization
throughout the naticn. The method by
which they will have to do this is the same
that has of necessity been resorted to
wherever the factory system has appeared
and developed—namely, organization.
They must organize to demand better
wages, organize to secure shorter hours,
organize to bring pressure upon the legis
lative authorities for the enactment of hu
mane factory labor regulations, without
which the conditions of toil are even more
degrading and stultifying than under the
ancient systems cf industry.—Gunton’s
Magazine.
A New Use For the Telephone.
When tbo enterprising burglar’s not
a-burgling, he is using his thinking facul
ties to the disadvantage of others. A firm
of booksellers was called up late one even
ing by telephone, and in respouse to the
inquiry it was stated that the firm had in
stock a number of very valuable books.
The caller thanked the firm and remark
ed that he would be in in the morning to
purchase some. When morning came, the
shop was found to have been broken open,
and the very books about which inquiry
over the telephone had been made were
stolon.
This shows the enterprise of the modern
burglar. He was ready to rob the place,
but ho took she precaution of finding out
whether the job would be worth while.
By using the telephone k .e saved himself
ail the annoyances of identification which
a personal cull would ba to entailed.—

OUR
SPRING
OPENING
Has been the
greatest success,
and many were
the kind praises
we received from
the ladies for our
efforts to place be=
fore them such an (
exquisite stock at 1
such reasonable J
prices. Our sales 1
were the largest of I
any previous sea= I
son, which was a
gratifying tribute
to our labors.
This is but the forerunner
of what we intend to do this
season. Our stock will be con
stantly replenished with all
the Novelties as soon as they
appear in the metropolis.
Our stock of
Childrens School
Bats and caps
Is immense in variety and
style and prices from 2-5 c up
ward.
Ask to see our Roses at
15c a bunch. We have, them
in twelve different colors and
would be considered cheap at
25c.
Our stock of Flowers and
Ribbons cannot be equaled
ia this city.
Our stock of Infants’ Caps
must be seen to be appreciat
ed for variety and lowness of
price.
Please ask for anything
you may not see, as we can
not display everything.
