Governor Atkinson Condemned.
The News wa# the lir.st paper in Georgia
to protest against Governor Atkinson's
attempt to disorganize and then reorganize
the state militia, in order that he might
have Just that much more political pat
ronage.
Hut other newspapers have also seen
through the governor's game, and they arc
speaking out in condemnation of such
pusillanimous method*. Today’s Atlanta
Constitution has a very pointed editorial
commending the course' pursued by. Gov
ernor Johnston, of Alabama, llut otto can
easily read between the lines warm critic
ism of Georgia's peanut executive. The
Constitution says:
There set ins to be no doubt that the
method adopted by Governor Johnston, of
Alabama, in responding to the call for
troops from his state is the wisest course
that 'could have been followed. The
necessary number of troops will be enlist
ed by companies, and preference will he
given to those ograni/.ations that compose
the Alabama national guard. Titus the
captain and officers of a company already
organized are not disturbed and volunteer
companies are permitted to choose their
own officers.
Tills is the course that should he adopt
ed in Georgia.
Under the wise plan of Governor John
ston the commamling officers of the nat
ional guard retain the positiQns which
they now occupy, and there is to be no
"shake-up” for political or other pur
poses. The plan is wise because it is just.
In every slate where there are military
organizations the companies and regiments
are olYieen d by nu n who have the confi
dnece and esteem of the men under them,
and who have won the places they hold by
reason of their capacity, as well as by
reason of the energy and enthusiasm they
Jiave displayed in promoting the interests
ami furthering the ends of the organiza
tions with which they are connected.
We pit some the conditions in Alabama
are the same as 'those in Georgia, and of
these last we can speak by the card. In
this stale the officers of the regiments anti
the coni pah leg, from the highest to the
lowest, have devoted a large part of their
time to increasing the efficiency and pro
moting the esprit du corps of the organi
zations with which they arc connected. In
season and out of season they have devoted
themselves to their duties, and it seems
to be a pity that they should 'be shuffled
about and shaken up. if there were any
good reason tor it —if the shuffling about
ami shaking up tended tb promote the
efficiency of the troops—the case would be
different; it would be recognized as right
and proper. Hut, on the contrary, it seems
calculated to produee the opposite result.
u breeds discontent, and grates harshly
against that sense of justice which would
retain in their places the men who have
had all the care and trouble of maintain-
Ing the efficiency of the local military
organizations.
Governor Johnston, of Alabama, is to be
congratulated on his wise avoidance of this
source of discontent. By receiving the
regiments and companies intact, with the
officers who have been selected by the men
themselves on account of their special fit
ness for and their adaptation to t.he posi
tions they occupy, the governor of Ala
bama has wisely and effectually solved a
problem which, to a sensitive mind, in
volves grave difficulties when it is settled
nny other way.
In .Alabama the troops will be officered,
by the men who have been found most
satisfactory to the rank and file, and we
trust similar wise policy may bo followed
in Georgia. At any rate, it is to he hoped
that our military organizations will not bo
subjected to the discontent and soreness
that may result from any policy that runs
counter to the popular idea of justice.
Meanwhile, we congratulate Governor
Johnston on the wisdom and justice of the
course he has followed. He has demon
strated that he is a larger man than his
office, and that is saying a great deal in
these times.
•* «
One American Consul. Mr. McGarr, who
bas stationed at Cienfuegos. Cuba, comes
home with the report that Spanish rule' is
about the best thing on earth for the Cu
>ans. that few of the reeoncentrados have
suffered from anything except over-eating,
and that the insurgents are criminals and
not entitled to any consideration.
War Revenue Bill.
L is expected that the war revenue bill,
’which will probably pass the House to
morrow night, will raise from ninetv to
one hundred million dollars. Tn addition
to the proposed tax the hill authorizes the
issue cf five hundred million in 3 per cent,
bonds and the secretary of the treasury is
-Iso authorized to borrow at any time not
to exceed one hundred million dollars to
be represented by certificates of indebted
ness hearing 3 per cent, interest, to bo
paiahle within a year from date of issue.
There are two schedules of taxable art : -
eles one on which the tax is represented
by stamp* affixed, the other proprietary
artii les, chewing gum and mineral waters
The tonnage tax on tobacco is increased'
For assessing ttnd collecting the taxes one
hundred thousand dollars are appropriated
and the employment of ten additional
revenue agents authorized. The return
front the taxes are estimated as follows-
MsSnS? 1 HqUOrS ; tobacco,
* m. 000,000, cigars, Jn.000.000; dealers in
tobacco and cigars, $.-..fioo.ortfl; stamp taxes
n ” documents, telegrams, etc., $30,000,000-
stamp taxes on wines, mineral waters
etc., undetermined; tonnage tax on ves
sels engaged in foreign trade, $2,000,000.
Tea and coffee are not touched, as all the
meausures proposed for war revenues are
Internal revenue taxes.
Why not oall the Georgia militia "The
Atkinson Legion," and let it go at that?
Others May Take a Hand.
Already certain European nations are
becoming involved in rhe Spanisn-Amer
ican war, and It would be no surprise if
before the end of the year Anglo-Saxon
and Latin are arrayed against each other.
The information conus today that Por
tugal is aiding Spain in every wav possi
ble. Not only by allowing Spanish war
ships to remain in her port*, but by pro
hibiting the sending out of telegraphic in
formation regarding the movements of
these warships.
Following this comes the information
that England is iiK-t*nse*i at Portugal's ac
tion and may make a formal protest. An
other significant action on the part of
England is the call for British warships
at Poito Rico, to protect American inter
ests there, which have been left in charge
of the British consul.
Ail of this indicates a disposition on the
part of Gnat Britain to take a hand in the
affair in behalf of the I'nitcd States, and
on the part of Portugal to give Spain all
the assistance in her power. It may be
believed, that Austria is quite as eager to
join Spain, should the opportunity present
Itself, and such action on her part might
eventually involve France and Italy. Then
nothing could keep Russia out of it. and,
of course, Germany would be forced into
the fight.
None of the latter contingencies are im
mediately probable, but they are decidedly
possible, and there need he no surprise if
the present century ends with a universal
war —Anglo-Saxon on one side and Latin
on the other.
In this event t.he result can easily be
prophesied. The Anglo-Saxon race, as it
has always done, would triumph in the
end.
Stevens Well in the Lead.
A letter from Telfair eoun'ty to The
News makes the positive statement that
that section of the state will support Hon.
<). B. Stevens for commissioner of agricul
ture without a missing link. The people
are ripe for a change in the Agricultural
Department, and they recognize in the dis
tinguished .Southwest Georgia farmer and
statesman the man for the place. They
have not forgotten the recent report of the
investigating committee concerning the
Agricultural Department, and they are ex
pressing themselves very freely again.dt
Colonel iNesbitt’s administration. The
News also has it from excellent authority
that Chatham, Richmond and Muscogee
will give Stevens their votes, which, with
Bibb’s votes, will give four out of the six
principal counties of the skate. And it is
by no means certain that he won’t carry
the other two —Fulton and Floyd .His
friends are at work in ever/ section.of the
state, and will make his nomination and
election sure. With Hon. O. B. Stevens in
charge of the Agricultural Department
that branch of the state government will
enter upon a new career of usefulness.
His will be a practical, business adminis
tration of its affairs.
Are Planting Food Crops.
The war with Spain promises 'to have
at least one good effect—it has frightened
Southern farmers into planting food crops,
instead of all cotton crops, as heretofore.
Reports from every section of 'the South
indicate that the acreage of corn, oats,
wheat, potatoes, etc., is larger than was
ever before known, while more attention
is being paid to raising cattle and hogs.
In many sections, it is said, farmers have
■actually ploughed up a portion of their
cotton crop, and put in corn instead. This
is well, and it goes without saying that the
South will come out of the present war in
a more prosperous condition than ever.
The war lias already started the prices,
of grain and provisions on the up grade,
and they are sure to go higher. There will
lie a ready market for all of the South's
food crop, and the result will he more
money in the pockets of Southern farmers,
to say nothing of more hog, hominy and
hay on the farm.
The Army Private.
The life of a private soldier of the United
, States is not all roses, neither is it One of
. gri at hardship, says the Birmingham
News, which paper gives some interesting
’ in format ion about the .army private.
While a man is required to relinquish
many of his personal liberties, he is at
. the same time provided with much he pays
dearly for as a private citizen. The pay
ranges from sl3 a month to $23, the latter
being thp highest compensation of a non
, commissioned officer. Besides this each
man receives medical attention, medicines,
clothes, 'beddiing, etc.
In the enlistment of soldiers come the
most interesting and many times the most
surprising features of the whole business.
An impression prevails with many that i't
is an easy lvting to get into the army of
hte United States. But such is not iby any
means the case. On the contrary, • only
about ten per cent of those who apply are
accepted, and in the non-acceptance there
is certainly no reflection on the partiotism
of the American man, the trouble being
s witih the physical make up of a targe per
centage of the men of the country. Only
about one in ten of those who apply for
enlistment can pass the gauntlet of phys
ical and moral requirements of the recruit
ing department.
The following are the linos that recruits
are compelled to come inside of so as to
become defenders of the nation in the reg
ular army, according to regulations:
Applicants for enlistment must be between
the ages of 21 and 30 years, unmarried, or
good Character and habits, able-bodied,
free from disease, and must be able to
speak, read and w-rite the English lan
guage.
■Minors are not enlisted, except boys be
tween the ages of 16 and IS, who may be
needed as musicians, and who have the
written consent of father, only surviving
parent or legally appointed guardian.
Original enlistments are confined to per
sons who are citizens of hte United States,
or who maw have made legal declartion
of their intention ot become citizens there
of.
For infantry and artillery the height
must not be less than 5 feet 4 inches, and
weight not less than 12S pounds and nor
more than 190 pounds.
For cavalry the height must not be less
than 5 feet 4 inches and not more than 5
feet 10 inches, and weight not to exceed
165 pounds.
The following table shows the physical
proportions for height, weight and chest
measurement:

The appointment by the governor of Ma
jor O. T. Kenan, of Macon, as senior major
of Georgia troops was a most excellent one
—in fact, the very best that could have
been made. But it does not follow that
all of the governor's appointments will be
equally commendable. On the contrary, it
is not improbable that the governor sim
ply used the itppointment of Major Kenan
to -counteract or offset the criticism that
his flagrant usurpation of authority has
called forth. By making an appointment
that will meet with general approval he
hopes to appease the public and turn at
tention from his future acts. While hear
tily applauding the appointment of Major
Kenan. The News does not fail to recog
nize thht 'he received at the hands of the
governor * no more than he was
already entitled to -under the existing
organization, which, instead of being com
pletely disorganized ns Governor Atkinson
is doing, should be preserved as nearly in
tact -as possible.
It is stated that a "Life of the Prince
of Wales” is soon to be issued. It will
probably be barred from the mails in this
country.
It is contrary to % the ideas and senti
ments of Georgians to have their state's
miiida mixed up in politics.

Japan an Object Lfstoo.
Japan’s present experience Is affording
the world sonio exceedingly valuable testi
mony on a variety of important economic
problems. She furnishes n panoramic ob
ject lesson In Industrial evolution so rapid
that we may perhaps see the whole process
of transformation from barbarism to com- i
parnlively advanced civilization in the
courso of one generation The very rapid
ity of movement increases the friction and
hardship, but it will bring Japan out of
the slough all the sooner. Capital Is in
troducing the instruments of civilization;
upon labor rests tho responsibility of dis
tributing the boneflts of that civilization
throughout tho naticn. The method by !
which they will hove to do this Is tho same
•hat has of necessity been resorted to
wherever the ftietory system has appeared
and developed—namely, organization.
They must organlzo to demand better
wages, organize to securo shorter hours,
organize to bring pressure upon tho legis
lative authorities for the enactment, of bu

which the conditions of toil are even more
degrading and stultifying than under the
ancient systems of industry.—Gunton’n

A New Cue For the Telephone*
When tho enterprising burglar’s not
a-burgling, ho is using his thinking facul
ties to tho disadvantage of othere. A firm
of booksellers was called uj? late one even
ing by telephone, and in respo so to the
Inquiry it was stated that the firpi had in
stock a number of very valuable books.
Tho caller thanked the Arm and remark
ed that he would bo in in the morning to
purchase some. When morniny'came, the
shop was found to have been broken open,
and tho very books about which inquiry
over the telephone had been made wero
stolon.
This shows the enterprise of the modern
burglar. He was ready to rob the place,
but ho took the precaution of finding out
whether the job would be worth while.
By using the telephone he saved himself
»11 the annoyances of identification which
* personal call would have entailed.—
