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 to spank Spain with a towel.

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. o. powosri 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. Father 'Brislan, 'S. J., will deliver the dis-* course on the Sacred Passion.

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. lie in » rknble Kescae.
