It Is Just possible that the Spaniards
may take a notion to burn Queen Isabella
in effigy for encouraging Columbus to dis
cover America.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal, noting
the various remarks concerning the late
Editor Brann, says some newspapers are
evidently taking advantage of the fact that
Brann is dead.
The Americus Herald gives a fair sam
tile of the Atlanta Journal's neutrality in
the present gubernatorial race. It says:
“The Atlanta Journal, which claims to
publish only the ‘news’ of the gubernato
rial contest has. in its last issue nearly a
column of clippings concerning the same
yet there are but eleven lines favorable to
Mr. Candler. To one who reads a good
many of the state papers that seems a
trifle strange.”
•Mayor Price has opened a great many
•things in his life, but last night was the
first time he had ever opened an Bpworth
League Convention. Nevertheless he did
it with rare grace and rase and his address
of welcome made a great hit. It is the
general verdict that the mayor’s afi*lress
was a happy and graceful effort. He pre
sented to President Smith the key of the
, city, tied with yellow and white ribbon,
and his accompanying remarks made the
visitors feel at home at onee.
One of the richest cartoons that Imus ap
peared in any paper is published in today’s
Atlanta Constitution. It is by Wilkinson,
tho Constitution's talented young artist
and cartoonist, who bids fair to rival some
of the most noted newspaper art>rts in the
country. It represents McKinley ’as Father
Time holding up an hour glass to the view
of Unole Sam and saying, “When this
runs down, there are others.” And hack
of Father Time is Hanna, pictured as a
Cupid, holding a tray full of “others."
The cartoon sizes up the situation concise
ly and wittily.
It is significant that 'the Spanish torpedo
flotilla consumed ten days in going from
Lan Palmas io Cape Verde islands, the
rate being but 11* miles a day. Os course,
'this was because some of the boats broke
down and had to be towed, and the others
had to slow up to keep them company;
and. equally of course, there are some of
the boats 'that caa make as high speed as
tiny of like class in the American service,
but on the whole the efficiency of the
flotilla must l>e regarded as small where
the ‘total of speed is but 110 miles a day
in time of emergency.
AH the world, with the exception of
Asia, comes to the Southern states for
timber, notes the Birmingham News. The
•ingle port of Brunswick, Ga., exported
lumber or timber in some form last year
•to twenty-five different countries. Forest
products, not including turpentine and
rosin, were shipped from the Southern
ports last year to the value of about $25,-
000,000. During the same period the do
mestic consumption was probably five or
six timis as gnat, carrying the total value
of the Southern forests up to about $l5O -
000,000.
'She speech delivered by Prof. Lawton
B. Evans before the State Epworth
League Convention in this city last night.
4s pronounced by all who heard it to be
one of the ablest efforts ever heard in
Macon. His subject was “Education and
Character,' and he handled it in a most
masterly manner. Professor Evans is one
of the brainiest and most eloquent young
men in Georgia, and never fails to make
a splendid impression wherever ho is seen
and heard. The city of Augusta and the
estate of Georgia have reason to be proud
of this brilliant young educator and ora
tor.
Senator Hoar’s proposed amendment to
the constitution making presidential in
augurations and the terms of congressmen
to date from April 30th instead of March
4th has. to be sure, been favorably acted
on by the senate committee on elections.
Jt will hardly be reached in that body this
session. It is unlikely to receive a two
third vote therein when reached. It is
more than ever likely again to receive no
favoring response from the house. Even
if both houses should vote for it by a two
thirds vote in each, it would then have 'to
be ratified by three-quarters of the legis
latures ok the states. As the Union is now
•"onstitu-ted. thirty-four'state legislatures
must approve the amendment or it fails.
It is reported that Rear-Admiral John
G. Walker, retired in March 1897. by rea
son of having reached the age limit of
navy officers—63 years—desires to be
pjlaced on the active list should his ser
vices be needed by the government. Dur
ing the years of 1896 and 1897 and thus far
*n 1898. six rear-admirals, viz: Admirals
Carpenter. Walker. Ramsey. Brown.
Beatxlslee and Selfridge, have been placed
on the retired list. It is probable that a
majority of these officers have, actual
physical disability, that would make re
sumption of active service inadmissible.
At the same time there may be a few of
these admirals wbeae health is sufficient-
I> firm to enable them to give to the gov
ernment the benefit of their ability and
experience in case of war.
A,J n u Ra J In<>n<i S Li,e of Lincoln we read
At the White House one day some gentle
men were present from the West, excited
and troubled about the commissions or
omissions of the administration. The pres
ident heard them patiently, and then re-’
Plied: "Gentlemen, suppose all the prop
erty you were worth was in gold, and vou
tad put it in the hands of Blondin to car
ry across the Niagara river on a rope
would you shake the cable or keep shout
ing out to him, ‘Blondin, stand up a little
straighter; Blondin, stoop a little more;
go a little faster; lean a little more to the
north; lean a little more to the south’?
No. you would hold your breath as well as
your tongue, and keep your hands off until
he was safe over. The government are
carrying an immense weight. Untold
■treasures are in their hands. Thev are
doing the very best they can. Don’t
badger them. Keep silence, and we’ll get
you safe across,”
Engines of War.
At this time when men's minds are ab
sorbed -with war and rumors of war a de
scription of the biggest gun ia the
condensed from an elaborate article in the
Philadelphia Record, may prove interest
ing to the readers of the News.
We are told ihat work upon this sixteen
inch brecch-loading monster is progressing I
favorably at the Watervliet arsenal,
though it will be some time yet before it !
can be finished. It is the intention of the ;
war department to mount the huge instru- '
mint of destruction on a specially built
foundation on Romer Shoal-. The protec
tion for the sixtee'n-inth gun will be a
turret, which will wholly inclose the crew
and the greater part of the gun. From its
•position on Romer Shoals it will have a. j
full sweep of the channels leading into I
New York harbor. There is not, it is de
clared, a vessel afloat today with armor
of sufficient strength to resist its shot.
Former Lieutenant of the Navy, John F. I
Meigs, who la superintending the casting
of the forgings at the Bethlehem Iron
Works, estimates that a blew from the
new gun would have a striking energy
equal to that of a 2,000-ton ship when run-
i ing at full speed. The shot from the gun,
he adds, would smash, crack, and batter
down any armor which it would be possi
ble for a ship to carry.
Then length from breech to muzzle will
be 49 f< ct 2 inches. Through the breech
in a vertical Uno the gun will have a
measurement of exactly five feet. Mr.
Mi igs computes the weight of a shot for
the new gun at a little over 2,300 pounds.
That means more than, a ton of metal.
The powder charge forthe 4 American gun
will weigh nearly 1,000 pounds. Provided
extreme elevationa for range could be Ob
tained. a shot from the New York harbor
gun should be able to travel more than
. ixteen miles. The greatest known range
ever attained was from the famous "jubi
lee shot" in England The distance meas
ured about twelve statute miles.
The building of the new sixteen-inch
gun is an expensive undertaking. The
gun itself will cost about $120,005. For
single guns the average cost to the govern
ment for all fabrication work in 'thisCoun
try is roughly 81,000 per ton of gun. The
cost of the gun carriage and turret will
gring the cost up to as much again as the
weapon; while the cost of foundation will,
it is estimated, round out a grand total of
•at least $390,000. This foundation will re
quire a depth, it is said, of 50 feet of earth
for the basis, and must be constructed of
concrete.
Pomcone thinks that McKinley's idea is

CHANGE IN MAIL ROUTE.
New Order Believed to be Due to Impending
Trouble With Spain.
Mr. L. M. Terrell, superintendent of
mail service, received an order from the
ashington authorities’ yesterday morn
ing, instructing him to forward all malls
for the Bahama Islands via Now York
city. Heretofore the mails have gone via
Miami, Fla. The order was telegraphed
and was very brief.
Mr. Tirrell says he does not know the
reason of it unless it is’that the ships that,
have been plying between Miami and the
Bahama Islands have been discontinued,
owing to the conditions which exist be
tween this country and Spain. The New
York route is a much longer one, and" the
order coming at this time' is considered
very significant.
SMITH-FREENEY.
A Quiet Wedding Solemnized Yesterday Af
ternoon.
A quiet marriage occurred at the resi
dence of Rev. J. L. White yesterday after
noon. which proved a. surprise to -the
triends of the young couple.
The contracting parties wore Miss Al
berta Holt. Freeney and Mr. Robert Lin
wood Smith. The bride is the daughter
of Mr. J. lirifn Freeney and is prominent
among local musicians. The groom holds
a lucrative' position with the Central rail
road and has many friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith are at home to
then friends at their residence on Pine
street.
A TRICK AS IS A TRICK.
Remarkably Clever Invention That Has
Reached Macon.
The “Maine” question has reached Ma
con. When copies e.f the apropos trick
were shown today :h.y attracted a great
deal of attention.
On a thin piece of pap.-r is riven illus
tration of the Maine in the Havana > ar
bor. Moro castle is in the distance ’ Cn
the beach stands a Spanish official and a
Spaniard near him. apparently acting «m
--der his orders, is in ... kne. lin- ro‘Tire eu
the beach, suown as in the ,rt of waiv
ing the torch. The official is in the atti
tude of one declaring he knows nothin'’
about the disaster and dept-cep-in j that
any knowledge should be au-ibut,’d' £ o him.
A fuse is a part of the rick. The sue is
applied to the spot where the Spaniard w;. s
ii presented as .n the act of applying a
torch, a ball of fire ignites in the pipers
takes a course that is likened to an und< r
ground course, is communicated to a point
underneath the war ship where a sup
stance like a mine is locatod. This mine
explodes and tears the war ship, to atoms.
The little ball of fire started on its course
through the prepared paper and the ex
plosion of the mine are very well manipu
lated.
COLONY OF NEGRO FARMERS.
Scheme on Foot in Tattnall Which Promises
to Succeed.
Lyons. April 8. —Rev. Isaac Cray, the
presiding cider of the African Methodist
church of the Lyons circuit, has a scheme
weil on foot which, if successful —and
everything points to its early- and perma
nent success—will be hailed with joy by
both the whites and colored population of
this county. Cray is organizing a colony
of negroes to settle on land five miles
northwest of this town and go to farming.
He has already secured option on a tract
of land and is now hard at work getting
the better class of his race together to
occupy this land, erect dwelling houses
and other necessary buildings. The black
man is taking right hold of the project
with enthusiasm and if all signs do not
fail, people may §pon expect, to hear of
a successful colony of colored farmers in
Tattnall county.
This section has been visited with rain
this week, which has made the farmer and
garderner smile for joy. Today the rain
held up and the weather turend very cold
—cold enough to bring out wraps and
overcoats, and there is some fear of frost,-
which. should it come at this time, would
certainly play havoc with the peach blooms
The prospects for the peach crop in all this
section is far better than it has been
rvr years.

Absolutely Pure
GOOD WIN
THE CHURCHES
Special Services Held at St.
Joseph’s Catholic and
Episcopal Churches.
LAST OF THE LONG FAST
Os the Church Will be Today and
Tomorrow and Then Comes the
Feast and Easter,
Today is Good Friday. In every Chris
tian country this day is recognized and
celebrated as the anniversary of the cru
cifixion of .Christ.
Through all the ages of the Christian
era it has been observed—at first only by
the clergy of the Episcopal and Roman
Catholic churches, but in recent years it
has come to be more widely recognized
and today devout Christians everywhere
will feel impelled to lay aside all business
pursuits and social enjoyments and con
secrate the sacred hours of this anniver
sary to devotional reading and prayer.
In England a«d Ireland Good Friday is
strictly observed and is recognized as a
dies non, a day in which all business rela
tions are suspended by operation of law.
This custom began with the Romans in
the time of Constantine and the English
government is the only one that adheres to
it at the present ime.
All Christian creeds unite upon the great
truths that are identicial wiht Good Fri
day. it belongs to them all and year by
year is becoming more universally consid
ered and observed.
In the United States especially Goad
Friday is receiving more attention from all
churches and in every city in the land to
day the celebration of the anniversary of
tho scene on Calvary will be conducted
with the same solemnity observed in the
celebration of Christmas and Easter. The
three great events of the birth, crucifix
ion and ascension of the savior are co
existent in Bible history and their an
niversaries are more and more receiving
in every Christian land the same solemn
observance.
At the Episcopal church this morning
holy communioi* was celebrated and ser
vice was read at the usual hour. Evening
service will be at 8 o’clock.
At St. Joseph’s Catholic church fhere
will be the Way of the Holy Cross with
the Stabat Mater, at 3 o’clock p. m. Tene
brae sermon on the Sacred Passion and
Death of Our Blessed Lord and Adora
tion of the Holy Cross at 7:45 p. m. Rev.

course on the Sacred Passion. Ushers will

WEYLER RESPONSIBLE
He Asserted, id Event of Hostilities, He
Could Take Washington ano Not Try.
I
'Washington. April S.—According to Se
ller Qu-.sada, tae Cuban Minister in
Washington, Weyler. the butcher of the
Cubans, is largely responsible for the feel
irtg ;nioi : g army and naval officials in
Spain i’liat it would be ;:n easy thing for
the turns to whin the Yankees. Quesada
claims to have -learned from trustworthy
sources that ever since iWeylcr's return
to Spain be has sought to impress upon the
p.e.pl. that in the event, of war it would
net only be possible for the Spaish vessels
to vanquish our navy, but Spain could land
troops in this country, and it would not
be long before the United States capital
would be taken.
It is understood that Weyler is anxious
to lead an army against the United States,
and ho has been vain and foolish enough
to declare that ho would establish his
headquarters in the capital building.
At any rate, in order to belittle this na
tion jnd to on.ourage the Spaniards to
rush recklessly into war with the United
States, Weyler is creited with having in
formed his officials that just as soon as
war shall he commenced the Southern
states, which seceded during our civil
war. will be ready and anxious to join
Spain in crushing the Union, and that,
with the exception of Fitzhugh Lee and a
few others, nearly ill the Confederates will
turn against the government and do their
best to put the South against the North.

makes the statement that she caught culd
which settled on her lungs; she was treat
ed for a month ,by her family physician
but grew worse. Ttc told her she was a
lion, less victim of consumption and that
no medicine could cure her. Her drug
gist suggested Dr. King’s New Discovery
for consumption; she bought a bottle and
to her delight found herself benefitted
from the first dose. She continued its use
and after taking six bottles, found herself
sound and well; now does her own house
worlj and is as well as she ever was.
