They contain b ’.n announcements of rare interest. Twelve hundred butter-makers are to meet in Kansas next month. It is said they will form a pretty strong organiza tion. It is hard work for the man who wants a good government job to see any of .the b< iudes of civil service, even with the aid of a microscope. Cramp, the Philadelphia ship builder, has gone to Russia to secure part of that $70,0()0,0Q0 which the government of than country has determined to invest In war ships. No account of a legal execution is con sidered complete without the presentation of the m.nu of the last ju. al of the condemned. •Tiny living tortoise are z now worn as jewels by Parisian faddists. The Florida idea of utilizing chameleons for ornaments (has passed away, but Dame Fashion has not yet tackled baby garter snakes for necklaces. Berner and Atkinson are making the welkin ring all over the state, but Uncle Sam is sitting steadily in the beat which Is not in the least disturbed by the ripples that are being made by his opponents. — Oglethorpe Echo. The Americus Times-Recorder says it has forgotten and must refer to Editor Glessner for the desired information: Was Senator Berner in attendance upon the Griffin “silver” convention in 1895? and if not, why not? Henry K. Sienkiewiecz, the author of "Quo Vadis,” was a member of the Uto pian coloney that, years ago, settled near Los Angeles. Cal. So was Madam Helen 'Modjeska. Chailese A. Dana was, in his youtht. Interested in a similar scheme that ended in the Brookfarm fiasco. The announcement is made that the Sparta Ishmaelite has befn purchased by Mr. T. C. Moore, formerly its business manager. Mr. Sid Lewis, the former edi tor. will continue to do the editorial work on the paper. It has been changed to an eight-page five-column instead of its for mer size. The Spanish torpedo flotilla has arrived at Porto Rico, and is now coaling for busi ness. The strongest remaining fleet that Spain can muster is following in its wake. A matter of a few days mere will allow it, too. to reach a base of operations in the Spanish West Indies and become an other standing menace to our fleet at Key West and our southern ports. Genera! Blanco has the nerve to tell the state department at Washington that there is no danger of rioting in Havana by Spaniards cr Cubans but that it is possi ble Americans there may try to stir up some kind of a rumpus, thinks an ex change. No doubt they are anxious to have a riot .started so they can go and get themselves killed. That's like Mr. F. Hopkinson Smith's idea that the Arme nians wanted the Turks to kill them so that after they were dead their sad fate would excite the sympathy of Europe. Hon. Alfred Herrington is squarely in the race for congress from this district, says the Darien Gazette. He favors the “old flag and an appropriation.” He says: “If I could. I would double the appropria tions for the Savannah harbor, quadruple them for Doboy and the Altamaha river. Indeed. I would increase them all along the Georgia coast as far as within flay power. While I would especially look after the rural counties and the remote sections of the . district. I would by no means be forgetful of the trade centers, where wealth and population aggregate.” - The retirement of Admiral Slcard at this time calls attention to the fact that several of the senior admirals are also likely to be retired at an early date. The vacancies thus to be created and the probable activi ties of a naval warfare before us cause much rivalry among the commodores, cap tains and other officers of the navy. Al ready the friends of the numerous aspi rants are busy fostering the influences of prominent men and officers in Washing ton. The officers now favored by higher assignment than their rank justifies are being criticised, and their assignment ascribed to influences potential in Wash ington social life. .War Seems InevHa t e In the face of all that has occurred, there are tho?t who still think, or pretend to think, that there will be no conflict between this country and Spain. And yet they can g?ve'uo reason for the faith that is in them. Even to the most conservative an 1 hope -171. the present situation must make war seem inevitable Only the intervention of a thfrT h'at'.or. can po-i-lb’y prevent a con flict —and it is even probable that this would merely serve to fan the flame. It is not at all likely that tb. j j ngo spirit of this country would now submit to such in terference, and, try as we may, we can find no possible loophole through which President McKinley car. crawl back. He has already made certain demands on Spain, and these have been flung back into his face, with the reply that his demands are an insult. To add to the gravity of the situation, Congress Is impatient for final and defi nite action cn the part of the president, »md he has already been put on notice that he must do somethin? by Monday next. Else Congress will take the matter into lt« own hands. Spain would, no doubt, like to bring about a peaceable settlement of the issue, but she will not yield too much in an ef fort to do th-.». The present Spaisn dy nast?' values its own existence more than 1 the liv' of a few thousand soldiers and a few millions of government money, and it realizes that to back down now would mean its overthrow. The situation, therefor 0 seems highly , critical from both standpoints, and to avert war i.- now next to impossible.

Anywhere from seven minutes to thirty lays is the time assumed in the popular mind to be required to wipe Spain from the Western world. Do not let the people i fool themselves. While ue can subdue and | oring Spain to our f ci in the end, it will ; be no festival occasion while it is being done, nor can it be done in seven minutes, I if in seven months. When the lion of war [ is awakened from his lair, and the dews of peace are shaken from his mane and the shouts and huzzas and drum and bugle of contending hosts representing over ' 110.000,000 human souls rend the air, it will be no child’s play cr the explosion of paper wads fired by the yellow journals. It will be business from the start. The horrid arm of war will be raised to strike no telling where or when. Nor should the cost in human lives of a war, however brief, be underestimated. Firs! of all would come some naval en gagements. Under the conditions as. mod ern naval warfare would be practi cally sure death to all of the men on one of the ships in a duel, and to a large pro portion of those on -the other. It is esti mated that in the first twenty minutes of an engagement one-third of the men on each ship are sure to be killed. The out come of a. naval .battle, nine times out of ten, will be the sinking of one vessel or the other, with all on beard. The sur vivor will have no means or opportunity to save the wounded or the drowning. Who can assume that in a naval engage ment off Havana or off Key West the American ship will certainly come out the victor? As for the army, probably no danger of an invasion of an?' part of the United States is to be anticipated. On the other hand, the next move on the chessboard, after the beginning of warfare, will be the invasion of Cuba by our forces —infantry, cavalry, and artillery. Napoleon used to say that God was always on the side of the heaviest battalions. In these days in warfare he seems to be on the side of the largest population, the greatest resources, and the longest purses. But it is a vain conceit to assume that Cuba can he freed without great losses —if war shall come. Yellow Jack has fought for the Cubans in Cuba during the last three years, because the troops from Spain have not been ac climated. The same death, as well as that from the bullet, will stare in the face tens of -thousands of our young men if a sum mer campaign in Cuba shall be under taken. Death will lay low some thousands of them. It is a false and foolish assump tion that an invasion of Cuba will involve no sacrifice of life —that it will be mere nla?' Eke a militia encampment a: Talla hassee. Wbat blindness, then, for an American senator to shriek for “glorious war.” He is no patriot who. in this crisis, denounces President McKinley for his conservative course. The administration is bending ever?' effort to secure the cessation of hos tilities in Cuba, the relief of the recon centrados. the resumption of normal In dustry. and Independence even, without the shedding of the blood of the youth of the United S’ates The independence of Cuba may yet be achieved by diplomacy. “War is bell.” Give the president a chance to exhaust the resources of peace for the accomplishment of the end that we all wish for. The Easter News. Once more The News presents a special Easter issue to its readers. The time was when a sixteen or even twelve or eight page issue of The News was something of an undertaking, but they are no longer unusual, and, with The News' increased facilities, are turned out without an?’ con siderable effort. It is also a fact worthy of note that a twelve, sixteen or twenty page issue of The News is now more easily filled with attractive and profitable advertisements than at an?’ time in the papers’ history. Indeed, so great has been the demand for space in the Easter News that twenty pages seemed necessary to accommodate the business. This was only avoided by' calling in the advertising solicitors. It will be generally admitted, we think, that no paper enjoys the patronage of more representative advertisers than does The News. Today’s issue contains the attrac tive and interesting . bargain announce ments of practically every prominent mer chant of Macon, and it is to these that The News would direct special attention. If you have buying to do next week. Jet the Easter News be your guide. Read carefully its many bargain announcements, and call on those merchants who make you the offerings. Your business in terests demand that you patronize those who show their enterprise, progressiveness and their ability to offer bargains by’ ad vertising what they have to sell.

SENTIMENT IN TWIGGS Is Against the Execution of the Ne gro as He Was Only an Accomplice. The people of Twiggs county are very , much concerned as to what the governor i will do with the case of Gus Fambles, the i accomplice of Mr?. Nobles in the murder , of her husband. So far the governor nor I the pardon board have stated what would i be done with Fambles’ case. The people of Twiggs have written to ' the governor asking that if the sentence ' of Mrs. Nobles is to be commuted that they see no reason why that of Fambles ' should not. and they are seriously opposed ; to any other disposition being made of the I negro, for he was, in reality, a second party to the murder. Not more than two weeks ago Governor ; Atkinson received a letter from the sheriff ' of Twiggs county. The case of Mrs. No- j bles was then pending a settlement on the application for clemency. The official wrote ftiat if Fambles was sent there to be hanged he had better be accompanied by a company of soldiers. Otherwise he thought that it would be impossible to hang the negro. Mrs. Nobles will be removed immediate ly to the woman’s camp in Bllbert county, I where she will be kept until the state farm ■ is established. This camp is controlled by W. H. Mattox, who works about sixty wo men on his plantation. All the female con victs are sent there. It is understood that no report in the | Fambles case will be made before Monday. His respite expires on Friday next. Fambles’ wife is now serving a life sen tence for complicity in the murder of old man Nobles. She was convicted with a recommendation. Fambles has heard what will be done | with Mrs. Nobles, and is anxious to know | what will become of him. He says he feels | sure that the governor will not let him i hang, as has promised him time and again that if Mrs. Nobles was not executed that he should not be. ‘Mr .John R.
