The Absurdity of It.’
The N<w- has no divirc io make a fight
on the Bibb Democratic Executive Com
mittee for Us absurd action of Saturday
Lisi. W<‘ merely ho|ie the committte will
not insist on making itself ridiculous.
Tliv lommitiee, lor some ulterior polit
ies! reason, has been led into making a
viry silly mistake, ami it is to be hoped
that it will lose no time in backing water.
By attempting to set itself above the state
eommlthe it is guilty of u pelce of pre
numption that is entirely without prece
dent In Georgia politics.
In the first place, there is no end, except
lit be a personal one, to lie served by the
Bibb committee’s action. It is certainly
not helpful to party harmony, nor does it
give promise of greater fairness. Ixiok at
it as we may, it appears to lie merely a
political play on the part of someone who
thinks he or some of his friends will gain
<i political advantage thereby.
It remains to lie seen whether the slate
committee will give in and allow itself to
lie swayed by such considerations. The
state cominijtee acted entirely within its
province to begin with, ami it is worse
than absurd for a county committee —im-
pelled by some personal partisan motive —
to rebel at the authority of the com
mittee, especially whe'n there is no good
reason for its objection and no good pur
pose to be served thereby.
We have no idea that the Bibb commit
tee expect to do more than create a certain
amount of discord. It certainly cannot
hope to overrule the authority of tihe the
slate committee. If so, there would be
nothing .it all In party authority and our
primaries would possess the farcical feat
ures of yore. In the interest of party
harmony, therefore, as well as in the in
terest of right and fairness, and for the
Fake of its own reputation for good sense,
it is to be hoped the Bibb Executive 'Com
mittee will recede from its ridiculous po
sition.
It begins to look less like the power*
will interfere.
War, But F or What?
iSo It seems that we are to be thrust into
a war with Spain after all. A strong tri
bute to the power .of the yellow journal
ami the jingo congressman—for, in reality,
practically everyone else in bills country
would like, < ven now, to see war averted.
And yet all the indications are that war,
cruel, bloody, useless war, must come.
And for what? Not for the Maine. If that
were it, then would every American res
pond and gladly. Not for humanity’s
sake. Hut to secure Hie independence of
Cuba--to establish a government by the
insurgents on the island. And all of this,
as Mrs. Jefferson Davis says, for a lot of
half breeds and mulattos who are not fit
for self government.
We believe there wqyild be more enthu
siasm. especially here in the South, if bhis
unnecessary conflict had been based on the
(Maine disaster or the woes of Cuban re
coneentradoi s. We regard it as peculiarly
unfortunate that the nation has become in
volved in an ’’entangling alliance’” with
the alleged Republic of Cuba. Indeed, it
is greatly to be regretted that affairs were
not so shaped that, in cast 1 of war, we
should be forced to drive both Spaniards
ami insurgents from the island. It would
have been better for Cuba, better for the
world and more creditable to ourselves.
It would be rank injustice not to let
Billy Mason do some of the fighting.
The Lees.
The Jacksonville Times-Union and Citi
zen gives tlie following interesting little
sketch of the Lee family, the most dis
tinguished living representative of whom
today occupies a greater share of atten
tion ami admiration of all Americans than
any man before the public at this parti
cular period:
One of the Lees of Virginia has borne a
leading part in every crisis through which
tliis country lias passed -often more than
one Lee is found rendering valuable ser
vice when the best and strongest are call
ed to the front. In the days of piping
peace, when interest and persistency gain
place, the Lees give way to other men,
•but in difficulty and danger they are al
ways pushed to the front.
The first American Lee settled in “The
Northern Neck” of Virginia, between the
Rappahannock and Potomac , rivers, in
1«66. He was secretary to Sir William
Berkeley, and his ability as well as wealth
and social position gave him much influ
ence.
During Cromwell’s time Virginia took
several steps towards independence, and
there was a disposition to stand aloof at
the restoration. Henry Lee used his in
fluence to quell this spirit, and took nart
in the ceremonies attending the coronation
of the Merry Monarch. From this parti-
L<C " aS taken the ,e « end of
" S ”- bU "W"**
Thomas Lee. the grandson of Richard,
was again a leading spirit in Virginia, was
president of the council, etc. He died in
d..u leaving six sons. One of these. Rich-

and of right ought to be free and inde
pendent states.” His brother. Francis
W “’ h him thc Deration of
Independence, and “Lighthorse Harry”
the grandfather of General Fitzhugh Lee
was one of the most brilliant soldiers of
the revolution.
c3,m ° f 9* neral Lee was
Captain Sidney Smith Lee, who was born
at amden N. J., during a visit of his
Parents, and his mother was a grand
°f Virßinia statesman,
George Mason, a daughter of General John
-Mason, and a sister to James M. Mason
bitzhugh Lee was bom at Clermont, the
res.denee of his grandfather Mason, on
November 19. 1835. Had he noj displayed
a distinguished part in the history of his
country as soldier or statesman, or both
he would have furnished a conspicuous
example of the failure of hereditary pow
ers and tendencies.

The People Not For War.
The jingo journals have done a lot of ‘
talking about the war enthusiasm that
prevails in this country—especially in the ,
South. And yet the careful observer of
events knows that this Is all nonsense. ;
That there is. in reality, no such etithu- j
siasm as there is said to be, and much that ,
is mere superficial.
The fact is the war sentiment in this
country is as much divided as ever in its
history.
In all the wars and rumors of wars since
the colonies rebelled against British ty
ranny the people of the whole country •
have never been entirely practically i
united. In the war of the ‘Revolution ’
there was a very formidable lory-party in I
most of the colonies. In the War of 1812.
the opposition in many states was threat
ening. There was strong opposition to the
Mexican war. In the late civil war fifteen
states were in opt n conflict, with a large
anti-war party in many of the loyal
states.
And there is the same opposition to war
now. The people do not want it. they see
no need for it, they prefer not to be dis
turbed in their peaceful pursuits. They
have not yet entirely recovered from the
disastrous effects of the war between the
states, and they are in no humor to be
plunged into another conflict without more
reason than has been offered in this case.
But the politicians have determined on
it, in answer to the cries of the gallery—
stitch they too often mistake for pubHc
opinion and so war must come. We will
see our mistake later, but then it will be
considered treasonable’ to admit it, so,
like al) other wars, we shall, in time, no
doubt, come to say it was the right thing,
the only thing and applaud thc hot heads
who refused to allow a peaceful settlement
of the issue. >
President Can Veto.
Apropos of the President’s right to veto
a declaration of war, the following extract
from the United .States Constitution (Art.
1, Sec. 7, Par. 3) settles the question:
'Every order, resolution, or vote to
which the concurrence of ithe Senate and
House of Representatives may be necessa
ry (except on a question, of adjournment,)
shall be presented to the President of the
United States; and before the same shall
take effect, shall be approved by him, or
being disapproved by him shall be re
passed by two-thirds of ithe Seriate and
House of ißepresentatives, according to the
rules and limitations prescribed in the
case of a bill.
If Southern sea-coasts are to bo defend
ed our Southern soldiers are ready and
willing to defend them. But they are not
willing to be marched to thc front and
leave their homes to the protection of
strangers. Such a [dan would be contrary
to what is right and natural.
Spencer'Atkinson has writen another let
ter, and, as usual, The Southern Railway’s
Macon newspaper says it “puts Candler
in a .hole.” It is so fair and neutral, you
know.
There seems to be a disposition in the
South to let the South tlo the most of the
fighting in Cuba—'because our people are
more civilized.
In this affair the United States is guilty
of ithe mistake usually made by the Eng
lish —underestimating the strength of an
anversary.
There has been a Lee on the crest of
every crisis since the Declaration of In
dependence, notes an exchange.
By making Lee a brigadier general will
the government lie able to make the South
do all the fighting?
DEAR AND DIRTY DUBLIN.
It Now Has a Music Hall, With Matinees
For the Fair Sex.
Dublin may bo dear and dirty. It is
also dranintio and loves gayoty. Thus
within the last few weeks It has added
unto Itself a now theater and a new music
hall, says a writer in tho London Skotoh.
It is now 18 years since Uro robbed it of its
Theater Royal, which its people regarded,
anti with some truth, ns tbe finest play
house in the three kingdoms after Drury
Lime, and naturally there was a groat
rush for seats on Its reopening by Messrs.
Morelland Mouillot. All Dublin wanted to
be present, but the theater could accom
modate only 3,1100 persons, and so there
wan plenty of that sort of disappointment
among the public so dear to the theatrical
manager’s heart. The play was “Tho
Geisha.” Tho new theater has a pleasant
air of space and elbow room. It is, of
course, supplied with all the latest me
chanical improvements. It, has a special
largo box for tho viceroy, with private en
trance, anteroom and other accommoda
tions, and a splendid saloon and ladies'
drawing room. There is no pit in tho old
sense, tho whole ground floor (1,000 seats)
being arranged on the American parterre
system, and all bookable at a low figure,
an interesting experiment. The manage
ment can do with the stage what Dan
O’Couiu 11 said he could do with an act of
parliament—it can drive a coach and
four through it, entering at one side from
the street, and emerging at tho other into
a new carriage way.
And a new music hall has arisen in tho
shape of tho Empire Palaeo theater. It
fans boon built on tho site of the old and
popular Star Theater of Varieties In Dame
street, which, however, it surpasses in
size, beauty and indeed in almost every
detail. A splendid stage, a proscenium
larger than that of either tho Palace thea
ter or the Empire in London, accommoda
tion for over 1,700 spectators—which all
visitors may advisedly be dubbed, as an
excellent view of the stage is obtainable
from every seat in tho bouse—capital
acoustic properties, luxurious boxes, stalls
and seats and a tout ensemble of refined
decoration in tho Louis Quinzo style; in
which ivory, gold and a eoupcon of faint
blue predominate, are but a few of tho
permanent attractions that tho now thea
ter offers.
The opening night was a memorable oc
casion, and the programme included the
names of many world renowned artists,
who met with as enthusiastic a reception
as tho heart of man or woman could de
sire. The wisdom of tho management in
continuing to provide tho public with an
excellent and varied bill of faro has had
its reward in tho packed audiences which
nightly await the lifting of tho curtain.
A mediocre attendance has so far not been
recorded on the books. A special feature
is tho Saturday matinee, when no smok
ing is permitted and when the programme,
at all times of a high class, is specially
"Bowdlerized” to please tho ladles of Dub
lin, to whom tho music hall had hitherto
been a terra incognita. Now all this is
changed, and ladies of high degree and
society loaders may bo seen occupying
boxes and-stalls at the Empire every Sat
urday afternoon.

Priceless Pain
If a price can be placed on pair, * Mother’s
Friend’ is worth its weight in gold as an alievi
ator. My wife suffered more in ten minutes with
either of her other two children than she did al
together with her last, having previously used
four bottles of ‘Mother’s Friend.’ It is a Messing
to any one expecting to become a mother,” says
a customer.
Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
of Carmi, 111., to the Bradfield Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ga., the proprie
tors and manufacturers of “ Mother’s
Friend.” This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines ad
vertised to do unreasonable things, but a
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman’s organism which
bear th’e severest strains of,childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier it
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
It not only shortens labor and lessens
the pain attending it, but greatly dimin
ishes the danger to life of both mother
and child, and leaves the mother in a con
dition, more favorable to speedy recovery.
“ Mother’s Friend ” is sold by druggists
at /i.oo, or sent by express on receipt of
price.

The Stage and ftociety.
In view of the fact that Dr. Watton not
only sanctioned a dramatization of his
stories, but has written approving of the
play, which he has read ami commends to
his friends in America, “whom I hold in
grateful reincinbiam-e,” it is interesting
to quote from a dialogue which three per
sons have over his name on “Amuse
ments” in The Woman at Home. The
rector is easily identified with Dr. Watson,
and in summing up the ease for the thea
ter be thus concludes;
“Don’t you think that, as there will bo
a theater as long as children net by tin in
stinct and the grown ups love to see good
acting, what good jieople ought to do is
not to ostracize the theater, but to nurifv
it? z
“How can they do that? Why, by on
couraging managers to produce pure and
noble plays and supporting well living
actors till the higher drama be profitable
and the lower he left to vicious people,
where it w ill die through destitution. You
tan never reform by repressing. The
Puritans tried that method, ami the result
was the grossness of tho restoration. You
can only reform by replacing. I wish well
to every man ami woman who helps to
make the stage a blessing and not a curse
to society. ” Bookman.

to the Family' - Trade.
Owing to tho great difficulties which we
have had in regulating the handling of ice
on our delivery wagons, we have adopted
the coupon system, which will be sold at
the following prices, viz:
240-pound books in coupons of 12
pounds each SI.OO
50T)-pound books in coupons of 25
pounds c-ach .... 2.00
1000-pound'books in copons of 50
pounds each 4.00
2000-pound books in coupons of 100
•pounds each f,.00
<Al‘l ice without coupons % cent per
pound, cash on delivery.
Books can be obtained from our drivers,
or telephone to 136, and same will be deliv
ered promptly. By this method we hope to
avoid complications and disputes from the
credit heretofore extended through our
drivers, and at the same time it gives our
patrons lower prices on their ice than they
have heretofore obtained.
All drivers are Instructed to give full
weight and polite attention, and any com
plaint will be promptly inveslgated.

Down your wa, but if not we have an excellen line of garden
hose at 10c per foot. The rubber in it is good and so is
