With others we have f< !•: the need for a modern plant and a 'belter survice, and we have realized l liait M.vcon iuais ibeen consideralbly 'hampered th'rou’gh flack of these things. A lew iwet k. ago Tlie News made the gratifying <annou,nee.m< irt that certain local panties were negotiating for the purchase of the presen,t plant, mil'll a view to giving Macon such 'a service as a city of her size and 'importance 'requires. It is now ,in order, 'therefore, for The (News to congrat ulate tlie people of Macon upon the fact that those ncgoXiiations have ended in a transfer of ,L9ie iplant to Hon. T. J. (tai ling and associates, who "will 'at once undertake to 'bring the plant uip .to the iproper stand ard. We can imagine f<w things of more value anil inijKirtaiice to IMtaeon titan this transaction. It guarantees the fulfililiiien.t of one o>f itlie 'city’s greatest needs —a mod ern electric 'light, an'd ipower plant; one ,in keeping with the size of the city. It guar antees further .satisfactory ami economi cal .management. inasmuch as the pliant is now in the hands of ipraetleal men .who understand every feature of the business and w'ho are enterprising enough to meet ail) the requirements ipuit upon 'them. We can easily ibelieve that the new own ers wall do everything 'in their ipower for the developmeint of Mheon by increasing the capacity and efficiency of their plant, ho as to enable .Industries to get the bene fit of cheaper ipower, 'a tiling which, to the detriment of Macon,' has long 'been lack ing. We think it is but due these gentlemen, in turn, for our people ,to encourage them also in 'their new undertaking. It is to our mutual interests to work for the growth and success of .this enterprise, for upon iit de.peii'ds, in ia measure, 'the growth and iiuprovciiK nt of 'Macon. Spain wants another chance to get rid of the balance of her navy before she will talk about peace. War’s Effect on Business. The actual effort of whir on 'business, barring 'tlie sentimental .features. ought not be disturbing. As yet nothing has been done by either Spain or the United States to make a difference in the mate rial interests of the two countries. Cuba’s trade iwtis already paralyzed and the change with regard to our relations with that country not enough to effect our in terests largely. But war does seriously effect business. -’Matthew (Marshall.” the financial editor of the New York 'Sun, has this to say with regard to the matter: The 'present iwar will not, probably, di minish the inumber of consumers nor their power to consume, because it will lead to no gnat mortality among cither our sol diers or our sailors, and these, wherever they may be sent, will have to be clothed and Ted and supplied with munitions of war. What iit can do. however, is to di minish the expenditures of non-eomibatants and thus restrict their consumption of the products of industry. This will be the work of imagination and not that of neces sity. it will be like the .panic of frugality which follow.d the financial .panic of 1893, and from which t'he country has only re cently begun to recover. Evidently, if every man sets to .work to see how little he can spend of his own labor in employ ing the labor of his fellow mien, all busi ness must cease, except that wlflch sup plies the barest necessities of 'life. Jf, for the next twelve months, nobody buys new clothes, or new furniture, if everybody re frains from consuming wine, beer, and to bacco. from entertaining his friends, and from supplying his family with other food than bread and potatoes. the purveyors of clothing, furniture, butchers’ meat, wine, beer, tobacco, fruit, and similar luxuries, "ill have, themselves, to come down to an equally frugal style of living, and our present edifice of industrial activity .will go to pieces. Such a calamity cannot be attributed to war. It would proceed from pure fright, to which, it is safe to say. American citizens have too much good sense to succumb. Even conceding, therefore, that the first effect of the war has been, in a measure, to Check the volume of ordinary trade; t. is effect cannot be otherwise 'than item porary, and will speedily be followed by renewed activity. The industries s<M in motion to create war material do not. in deed, add to the permanent wealth of the country, but they supply employment to hundreds of .thousands of people and fur nish them with the means of indirectly employing hundreds of thousands of other people. Nor are these industries any less profitable to the community than many of those of peace. Powder and shot, when 7 nsv ! n,cd - >««* behind thTm nothing of value, but the same thing is true of whisky and Vobacco. Ships of war are useless for commerce, hut so are pleas ure yachts. The uniforms and equipment of soldiers and sailors, also, are of more ™ t V a® 4han th< * holi,lay c,othes of ciMlians. In fact, nine-itenths of rhe ?LT ,hliturf of the "“iority of us m feht. in an emergency. be dispensed should r ° n °, ° f theSe n ' n e-ten ths should be diverted to war purposes it will not ruin us. 1 The Brooklyn Times pays this just trib ute to the Irishmen as fighters: ’lt was v. ma " *~ ith the KOO ‘’ o’* name of Patrick who fired the first shot in this war between Spain and the United States and why should it not be so? Are not the Irish always ready to do battle against op pression and tyranny? .Have not the Irish furnished more soldiers for the world in proportion to their numbers than any oth er nationality? There have been few bat tles fought in modern times in which Irishmen have not been in the thickest of the fighting.” Spanish Valor. We know it is the popular thing to de cry everything Spanish, but we admire bravery even in an enemy, and we cannot refuse to give the Sapnlards credit for what they are. Spanish honor may be an unknown quan tity in many respects, but so far as it In volves courage it cannot be called in ques tion. in the face of overwhelming odds, of certain defeat, of suffering and death, they have refeused to yield, and since en tering upon this, to them, hopeless strug- I gle, the y have already had an opportunity i to prove their valor. And they have done i it in away that has few parallels in mod- I ern history. Say what we please about them, the Spaniards, so far as their valor is con cerned), have up to date acquitted them selves in away that must prompt admi ration even from their enemies. Entirely Appropriate, It has been well said that this is a poli tician’s wtir. In a majority of instances, therefore, the military appointments made under she now volunteer bill have been entirely appropriate. • This has been true of some of the Geor gia appointments no less than others. In fact it had been, in more instances, more flagrantly true. It need not be considered strange (that the general public fail .to enthuse over this war. when they see it conducted on the plan of a ward election, as it were. But being a politicians w, it is prob ably right and projHr that politicians should, for .the. most part, be put in com mand. The Rome Tribune has an editorial on "Why Fudge Atkinson is Winning.” The same authority could no doubt explain why Dewey was defeated. Anyithing is po.-;.-,ible with the Tribune iwhen there is nothing but conscience and facts in bhe way. It in definitely understood that the Ila waiian minister has been advised that this country will not change its policy toward the'Hawaiian Islands, pending congression al action on annexation. In other words, the island will not be seized as hereto fore contemplated. It is positively announced from Wash ington that there will be no bombardment of either /Havana or Santa Clara, for the reason that the guns and fortifications of these two cities will be necessary for their defense after their capture. A Florida exchange correctly declares that all editors will join in a petition that Congress tax war poetry along with beer and whisky. If Don Carlos is wise be will come to the conclusion that the game is not worth the candle. Spain belongs to tlie poor, but proud class, notes an exchange. In a Niilklwll. An army, three corps.

Grcwsome Birthday Celebration. M. do Paris, otherwise Dolbler, the pub lic executioner of Franco, has just cele brated his seventieth birthday in a grew soiue fashion by executing at Bastia, in Corsica, the murderer Fazzini.

He carries it in a long leather satchel, not unlike an elongated dress suit ease. When he leaves Pa-is with his grim instrument of justice, a small army of newspaper men usually accompany him in the hope that something may happen. His trip to Cor sica was hardly noticed, however, on ac count of the Dreyfus excitement. Dcibler has probably killed more men than any other living person.

Circular mu it vu Ol igy POWDER Absolutely Pure Buying “Guius* In America, Englishmen and Americana frequent ly differ greatly in the names they havo for the same object. A well known art ist came to an American city from Lon don, and after becoming settled went out to buy some artists' materials. He went to a stationery store, and after purchasing several things said: “By the way, do you keep gums?’’ The saleswoman smiled. “No, indeed,’’ said she, “but I think you can get them next door.” The artist thought it was peculiar that he could not get what he wanted at a stationer’s, but thought perhaps it was American. So he went next door and found it was a shoe store. “A funny place to keep gums,’’quoth he, but in he walked and asked for Hums. “What size do you wear?” said the woman who met him. That floored him. “What on earth has that got to do with it?” thought he, but he discovered that he wore sevens. Soon the woman appeared, carrying a pair of overshoes. “Will these suit you?” said she to the surprised Englishman. “I don’t want those. I want gums, something to slick with. It comes in a bottle, ” “Ob, you mean mucilage, ” said the zirl radiantly. “You can get that al ny stationer’s.”—St. Louis Star. Yellow Jaundice Cured.

The blaze attracted the attention of my old friend Pop, who was oiling his engine and talking with a couple of firemen as she passed. Thinking that the hostler was taking her out to the coal pockets, he shouted: “Hey! Yer back drivin box is afire!” As no one answered, they all looked carefully at her and saw that she was alone. A shout went up, “That en gine's runnin away!” The fireman of a nearby switch engine leaped to the ground and sprinted after her. In the meantime old 96, having passed all the switches and got upon the main track, was gaining speed with every revolution of her big drivers. The fireman touched the liack of her tank with the tips of his outstretched fingers, and then with a derisive wriggle of her drawhead she glided away. Ho was directly in front oi the telegraph office when he realized that the race was lost and rushed into the office, told the operator what had happened and advised him io tell Wilson, cigi.s miles away, to site track her. Wilson got- the message all right, nii t started on tho run. As ho opened tho door a meteor shot by, and, glarc-ing up the line, a faint glimpse of the hack end of a tender with a big yellow 90 on if disappearing round the curve in a cloud of dust told him she had gone.— Herbert E.
