CANDLER TALKS
AT ATKINSON
He Says That the Railroad
Commission is Wasting
Time and Money.
HUNDRED DOLLARS A DAV

thilM-.s Dial li'aVe hi •••!» said by Judge
Spi n.*, r it. Atkinr.un on the slump.
Among; other things In; .-.aid that his lit
ter of ai.nutineemi nt had said some things
tli.it had mortally oil. tided the little poli
tical ting that thought it could cleet gov
ernors and state house oilicialn without
consulting the people, and immediately
following the . return of Governor W. Y.
Atkinson amt his paity from Mexico there
had been coni, renci s in the Kimball house
anil elsewhere, which finally led to a die
laration that Candler must lie beaten at
all hazards. Then Judge Spencer It. At
kinson was brought out, followed by Sen
ator Berner's abrupt plunge, ami 'the
colonel ironically observed that they were
both doing tin* work required of tin m with
uh industry which showed whether or not
the politicians who had pul them in tin
race were lacking in judgment.
"The ring is agains-t me," he said, “but,
thank God, the people arc against the
ring."
He spoke of the several planks in his
platform, and discussed the state tax rate
at sum- length. He said 'that his original
suggestion that tile present late Was too
high had been received witii too much ap
plause by the people that Messrs. Berner
and Atkinson had not only attempted to
appropriate it to themselves, but bad ac
tually begun to charge that he did not
know what lie was doing win n he ad
vanced the idea. He said lie iiad never
proposed any special plans to reduce the
tax rule, but lead declared that it should
go no highet that it was time to put on
lie brakes. He thought Lite bi.it way to do
this was to stop the links which exist al
ready, and io exercise such wise economy
in future as to keep the, rale within tile
reasonable ability of tire people to pay.
"But Spencer Atkinson ways there are no
leaks," tin- colonel continued, "and he has
delied me in several of the speeches made
by him before my ollieial duties permitted
me to take *lhc stump to name any. W ell,
judge, I'll name one. If your constant
campaigning and speech-making during
the past two mon tils lias not been done at
tlie expense of tin- duty you owe the state
as railroad commissioner, then there's a
very considerable leak In the $2,500 a year
you are receiving In salary. And, If you
ate neglecting your duty—holding on to
one office while running for another—you
are not a lit nn.n to lie governor. Take
your choice. But whither you are neg
lecting your duty or not, you know and I
know and the people know that you are
using that |2,500 which the state pays you
for the purpose of furthering your per
sonal political interests, and <>f defeating
me lor governor. 1 think you will not dis
pute witii me that tills constitutes a leak,
and that the taxpayers are entitled to a
little butter return for their money.'-’
Tile colonel said lie had I lie highest per
sonal regard for some of the men who had
been appointed to the railroad commission,
and lie said, also, that during the first lew*
years of 'Hie exlstt nee of that body the
m<mln rs unqtti stionably earned and de
served all tin salary they got. but that
since tlie work of the department had been
systematized, the original conditions had
changed. Last year. lie said the commis
sion had met on only twenty-eight out of
the 365 days, and the ihr.e members had
each received nearly SIOO a day. While a
member of the state senate ten years ago
he had worked and voted in favor of a
bill which proposed to take the power of
appointment away from tlie governor and
■to elect the railroad commissioners direct
ly* by tlie people. He favored such a meas
ure then, and he favored it now. The au
dience loudly applauded the
and laughter mingled with 'their cheers.

ROBBED THE GRAVE.
A startling incident of which Mr. John
Oliver of Piiiladelphia was the subject, is
n.irraled by him as follows: "I was in a
most dreadful condition. My skin was al
most yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated,
pain eonlinually in back and sides, no ap
petite—gradually growing weaker day by
day. Three physicians had given me up.
I'ortun.itely a friend advised trying "Elec

prise the first bottle made a decided im
provement. 1 continued their use for three
weeks and am now a well man. 1 know
they saved niy life and robbed the grave

NAVY IS CRITICAL.
Spain Has Gained, They Say, a Very Great
Advantage.
Washington, April 5. —The navy is open
ly critical today of tihe inaction which has
resulted in a practical overthrow of its
carefully prepared war plans.
Last Tuesday the 'Nav.il Strategy Board
sent by Secretary Long to tlie cabinet
meeting a comprehensive memorandum
mored cruisers readily bottled up in ,Ha
niored cruisers readily botled up in Ha
vana ami with time yet remaining for Ad
miral Schley to capture *the flotilla at it
approached Puerto Rico, Spain would be
powerless to inflict any serious injury on
tue United States, and peace terms could
be readily dictated.
Tlie memorandum set forth that these
conditions would be reversed if Spain could
join her distributed forces at Puerto Rico,
ready to sweep down without warning
upon an American port the moment war
might bo declared. It was pointed that
such Spanish fleet would be able by me
n.ieing the North Atlantic and its coast
wise commerce, result in calling many of
our vessels from the Key West base, and
so change all conditions tiiat an assault
on Havana would be made a most tedious
affair.
It was also shown that with the depart
ure of the two cruisers from Havana the
entrance of that harbor could be quickly
tilled with mines, imprisoning every Amer
ican now there, and nullifying our efforts
to rescue them before their massacre oc
curred.
What was feared has occurred, and the
entire plan of naval campaign is in course
of rearrangement. There is an ugly feel
ing throughout the naval service over the
delay that has put them at a disadvantage.
They fear another day’s waiting, which
they believe will further aid Spain to ma
neuver for advantage.
They do not expect the Spaiards to go to
Havana again to run the chance of block
ade, but tiny have warned Secretary Long
that when the Spaniards again sail from
Puerto'Rico it will be necessary for every
American port to be made ready for a raid.
Boston, New York and Charleston have
the most to fear, and they must rely chief
ly on their own resources, fv the strategy
board declares that it would be criminal
to weaken the fleet at Key West, or to
leave Hampton Roads un-guarded.

FEAST OF PASSOVER.
It Begins on Wednesday and Lasts Seven
Days.
The Jewish feast of Passover begins
next Wednesday evening at 6 o’clock and
lasts seven days. Impressive services will
be held at the synagogue on Wednesday
evening and on Thursday morning. The
Feast of Passover is an important even-t
among the Jews, as it commemorates the
delivery of the children of Israel from
Egypt. During the feast no bread but
that which is unleavened, known as Mat
zer. wil be eaten by those who uphold the
principles of the church. This does not
mean, however, that nothing but bread is
eaten. The seven days included in the
feast will be generally observed in Macon.

BONNER WON
By Big Majority in Jones County Election
Yesterday.
Yesterday the 'friends of Mr. Henry Bon
ner, of Jones county, expressed at the polls
their dislike at the way the election for
the ordinary to suceed Hon. Roland Ross
had been treated when it was first held,
and he was elected by a majority of about
500 over his opponent, iDumas, who ihad
the election contested and caused the ex
ecutive committee to pronounce it void.
Yesterday was the election day ordered
by ithe governor for the settlement of the
race, and when -the polls opened Mr. Bon
ner s friends rallied around him, and when
the polls were closed it'was found that he
was elected by a majority that was several
times greater than the one the received last
week.
At the request of Mr. Dumas the election
was contested, anil as the executive com
mittee did on have time to investigate be
fore the regular election day, they decided
the election void and held it over again
yesterday.
Mr. (Bonner’s friends felt very indignant
at the accusations made by the other side
of illegal voting, and when the election
was held yesterday there were many who
Iliad voted aginst l.Mr. Bonner at the pre
vious election who supported him by rea
son of the accusations made by the other
side.
’Mr. Henry ißonner is a son of Captain R.
11. Bonner, of <this place, and is well and
favorably known in Macon. His election
in Jones to the office of ordinary will be
satisfactory to all the people there.

If You Start for Alaska Do Not Leave Your
Courage Behind.
Skagaway, March 17.—The Skagaway of
today is a typical mining town. All games
are running full blast at night, wide open
to all. Yet. they ilaim the worst element
of “surething” have been run out since
the United States troops have been put in
here. IA very deplorable state of affairs
exists here at the postoffice. I am told
that Postmastei Sampson revives SB3 per
month for his work or distributing tons of
mail coming here for the hundreds that
pass through here weekly.
A sign upon the delivery window today
at 10 a. m., stated that the office would
not open till noon on account of the heavy
mail. 1 happened to be near when it did
open, but soon there was a hundred men
line, and as the help is short, it takes
hours before you can get your mail. 'Bus
iness men in town cannot get boxes for
their mail, as the rent for them over and
above SB3 per month goes to the govern
ment, so the postmaster refuses to put
them. in.
I am told that le'tters addressed in care
of the northwest mounted police. White
Horse Rapids, N. W. Territory, will reach
persons iu passing there.
The death rate here for some reason, has
been exaggerated, ami we find things here
In as good a state as any town on Che
frontier place. The water is good and
pipes are now being laid from a natural
lake on the mountain side into the town.

When you arrive here you find that the
promise made you by merchants in Can
ada, that you can put up the amount of
your dutiese and have them refunded at
Lake Bennett, is not a faot. You must
then pay for packing today 6 cents per
pound, which, on a. year’s supply, will
amount to $95. The packer furnishes you
a convoy until you are out of the United
States lines. I's the trail gets much cotter,
or iit should rain, this price will be increas
ed for packing. *lt 'has been as high as 60
cents per pound.
Ht will also cost you s(’. per men here to

'time your incidentals are added, which

Exaggerated stories have been written of
thsi w*lld country and trails, and yet a
great deal of startling truth remains. T.
F. Little, of Crawfordsville, Ind., now here
with one of the largest transportation
companies, just returned from tihe Skaga
way 'trail, reports the pass up ‘to (Porcu
pine Hill in a very soft and bad shape.
He saw a doctor from the east get to the
summit, and, 'becoming disgusted, sell a
very expensive outfit for S2O and return
East. Men are turning back each day,
dis'gus'ted with the hard trials which they
find in getting over the mountain passes.
You cannot pass into Canadian territory
at this time unless you have three pounds
per day for one year, or at least one thou
sand pounds of privislons. Men are being
turned back who (have not :the required
amount. On all horses taken up 30 per
