The News’ War News.
Evenylbod.v i interested in the latest
ne.ws irom ihe Spanish iwar. lifiit they
want reliable intelligence, not faikes and
suppoeltions. They tind that The Nows
reipoits can >be d<<p<nd<d upon, and the
gieat increase in its circulation since hos
tilities began Is the surest evidence of the
u*ppri ciation of an intelligent and dis
criininating public.
The N» ws is going right, along tbreak
dng its awn splendid circulation record.
For «• veral years it has led in circulation
in iMacon and vicinity, and now with im
giortant war news every day the people
naturally turn to it for the freshest and
fullest news.
This is evidenced by tire enormous in
crease in circulation, an increase which
Hteadiiy continues.
The simple truth is The News has the
(facilities to give all the latest news. It
has 'the mechanical equipment, the edito
rial and local force, everything so that
no line of news nerd 'be neglected. The
people liny a newspaper for the news and
The News is the favorite because it gives
the news.
This week promises to be filled with
news of tiie most startling character and
If you want to keep fully posted you must
join tiie procession and read The News.
In the war between the United States
and Spain all the leading nations of Eu
rope, and, in fact, of the world, except
Germany and Austria, have up to the
present declared their neutrality.
What Will We Do With Them?
Now that we have 'practical control of
the Philippine Islands, by the occupation
of 'Manila, what are we to do with .them
is the question asked on every side.
On one point Congressmen, administra
tion men and the hotel strategists seem to
tie ail agreed. Manila mus,t ibe held as a
naval (base ami a coaling station, at least
till the war is over, and it is the general
serttiiment that it should he held perma
nently, as Glbralter and Hong Kong are
now held by Great Britain.
No one has any idea that the Philippines
should be held permanently as a colonial
possession. As one Senator has said; “We
now have something to offer in trade. We
must hold the islands, until (he war is
over, and then we can dispose of them as
■we see fit."
This Idea of a favorable barter is an
alluring one and gives rein to the widest
speculation, says a Washington corres
pondent. That Spain's sovereignty is ended
in the Philippines is everywhere admitted.
1 hat we will without serious opposition
from the Continental powers dispose of
tlum as we please is the confident expec
tation. It we should quit the Philippines
up at auction and invite the powers 'there
'would be some lively bidding, and the
upset price would go far toward 'paying
the cost of the war, if. in fact, it would
not fully reimburse our pecuniary loss.
France, Germany, Japan, Great Britain
and Russia .would ibe in the front seats and
lead the bidding, each being anxious that
none of the others should secure a posses
sion so choice, as well as eager to possess
Che Archipelago herself.
But should the idea of colonial posses
sion lie abandoned, England would seem
to he our best customer, for, as has been
well said, more important to us even than
the freedom of Cuba, and the expulsion of
Spain from Porto Rico, would be our pos
session of the Bermudas, the Bahamas,
Jamaica and the other British islands in
the West Indies.
AM these are witbin our sphere of in
fluence. They are all necessary to the
proper protection of our Atlantic frontier.
England had rather have the Philippines.
It would be a good trade for both of us.
\ fiend in human form connected with
the Chicago Record has discovered that
tMutanzas rhymes with Kansas. This calls
for more blood, thinks the Memphis Com
mercial-Appeal.
May Involve England.
A esterday s reports from Santiago de
Cuba indicate that Great Britain may yet
be forced to take a hand in the Cuban af
fair- a thing that England devoutly hopes
for. ,
While no one, in this country at least
wishes any harm to the English consul
at Santiago de Cuba, Mr. S. W. Ramsden,
if the Spanish should mob him it would
make John Bull pretty mad and might
result very much to the advantage of the
I ttited States—provided such action did
uot call forth the resentment of other
European nations. It would prove to the
English, at least, the necessity for
American interference in Cuba, that action
on our part to establish order in tbe island
is justifiable and imperative. Indeed the
situation in which rhe English consul has
been placed and his request for the pro
tection of ships must already have warmed
up the sympathies of the English public
toward the attitude of the United States
But this may not be all; if it prompts
England to take a hand in the fight, this
may be the match that will touch off the
world’s powder magazines—for it requires
bIH a spark now to set them all off. The
chances are for an early peace, but some
insignificant affair like that at Santiago
de Cuba may serve to involve the whole
world in war.
The wife of Maximo Gomez, commander-
In-cbief of the insurgent forces in Cuba,
is an American woman. Her former name
was Miss I ink Alartin, a daughter of Mr
Henry (Martin, of East Tennessee. She
first married a Georgian, but he died
shortly after the civil .war, and as Mrs.
Cline, his widow, she went to Havana,
where her brothers were engaged in busi
ness. While at the Cuban capital she met
Maximo Gomez, and in a short time they
were married.
IPolitics the Cause of It.
When The News first called attention to
the disgraceful methods being pursued by
Governor Atkinson in calling out the
Georgia troops few people -would believe
that he really intended to inject politics
or personal ambition into the thing—be
cause they believed that even a politician
of B.il Atkinson’s stripe would bold some
things sacred. This was as far as thev
investigated the case.
Since thin overwhelming evidence has
been offered to show that Georgia’s gov
ernor has attempted to turn the whole
thing into a political game; has actually
disorganized and insulted the entire state
militia in order that be might reorganize
it-and thereby dispense tbe patronage
connected with such a proceeding
The effect of this political p]., y bas , befn
not only to arouse the indignation of al
most the entire state militia but to so dis
turb the regular organization as to make
Georgia practically the only state that is
not yet prepared to answer the rail for
loop.-. oday s Atlanta Constitution calls
attention to this fact in an editorial which
is both interesting and to the point. The
Constitution says:
In almost every state in the union the
quota of troops called for by the president
Is ready to go to the front. One exception
1., Georgia and it Is not a creditable ex
cep. ion. Those wiio are familiar with the
situation here, while they may not
know precisely where the blame li. s , are
fully aware of the fact that it does not
rest upon the men who form our organ
ized militia, nor upon the people; but
those who view us from .1 distance will
be inclined to suspect that Georgia, which
occupies a foremost place in the history
and progress of the south, is somewhat
lacking in the spirit that animates other
states.
When the governor of Pennsylvania was
called on for troops he sent the word
down the line and the quota was supplied
without an hour’s delay. So it has been
in North Carolina, in South Carolina in
Alabama—in every state but Georgia. Ad
vantage was taken of the fact that the
state militia had been organized and
equipped (as it was and is in Georgia)
Tor Just such an emergency, and in ail
these other states there has been no fuss,
no delay, no futile attempt to reorganize
by the appointment of company officers,
in so tar as efficiency would permit of it
tiie company organizations have been left
intact. In apme instances military men of
approved reputation have been appointed
as colonels of the regiments, but in ail
oilier respects, except where necessity ab
solutely required a change, the company
organizations have remained intact.
The Constitution then asks the very
pertinent question, if military organiza
tions, equipped and supported by the lib
erality of the state, are practically useless
when an emergency arises. If such a dis
covery has not, in fact, been made, how
is it that an organization has, been entered
upon, -asks the (Constitution, If the money
of the state appropriated for the -purpose
of promoting and sustaining efficient mili
tary organizations, and amounting in -the
aggregate to something like $250,000 since
the present militia system iwas established
—if, we say, this large sum of money has
been practically 'thrown away, the proper
authorities should give notice of the fact.
If it is really and absolutely necessary to
enlist raw recruits instead of taking ad
vantage of the organizations sustained by
the state, the fact should ibe officially pub
lished for the bent fit of those who pay the
piper.
*
There is already on foot a spontaneous
movement looking to -the carrying out of
the suggestion that Commodore Dewey's
splendid exhibition of pluck, daring and
seamanship in what will be known in all
future histories as the battle of /Manila
should /win for him the admiral’s rank. It
is outside the power of the president to
make -promotion in tiie navy except by
seniority, but a special resolution by Con
gress would give such authority, and that
nation is contemplated.
'Says the (Elberton Star: “Hon. O. B.
Stevens is making t'he -most satisfactory
campaign for com-misioner of agriculture
of any candidate. He is quietly and in an
unassuming way canvassing the state, and
by his gentle and magnetic manners is
drawing people to him. When you know
the man the wonder ceases that he is so
popular and is gaining so much strength.
A patriotic Tennessee editor says; “We
did not help Admiral Dewey in sinking
Spanish cruisers in 'Manila, -but we sunk
several schooners in his honor.”
When one of our warships meets the
Spanish cruiser Flotilla in mid-ocean, just,
watch us trail her in the -dust.—'Hardeman

The -Macon Volunteers are mad because
the governor didn’t allow them to select

Herald puts it.
Beats tbe Klonciyke.
Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville, Texas,
has found a more valuable discovery than
has yet been made in the Klondyke. For
years he suffered untold agony from con
sumption, accompanied by hemorrhages;
and was absolutely cured by Dr. King’s
New Discover}' for Consumption, Coughs
and Colds. He declares that gold is of lit
tle value in comparison with this mar

Railroad Woes In China.
A missionary writing from China to a
friend in this city recently described the
difficulties under which the newly com
pleted railroads are conducted in that
country.
Passengers in tho first class coaches, he
•aid, exhibited so strong a desire to carry
off various articles from the ears as souve
nirs of their trip that the coaches were
speedily stripped of those things that con
tribute to the comfort of the passenger.
They took away with them hat and bun
dle racks, mirrors, lamp brackets, hooks,
small tables and even doors. They were
considerate enough to leave the car frame
and wheels. And the purloiners were gov
ern u'ent officials and people belonging to
the wealthy classes.
The stations along the railroad over
which tbe writer traveled were rude sheds,
very unclean and without, a chair or bench.
The cars, too, were very dirty. While this
was especially true of' the second class
coaches, which were oftentimes crowded
with half naked, unwashed people, tho
first class coaches also became very unclean
in a short time. It soon became necessary
to take out all the upholstery and replace
it by plain seats.
When tho railroads wore being built, re
ports were spread that the foreign con
tractors were stealing Chinese children
and burying them in the roadbed so as to
propitiate the god who rules over rail
roads. These reports greatly excited the
people, and in one instance a mob attacked
two missionaries near Peking and would
have killed them had not a detachment of
soldiers rescued them. Under guise of
these reports children were really kid
naped and taken into the cities for im
moral purposes. New York Suu.

Many aid soldiers now feel the effects of
the hard service they endured during the
war. Mr. Geo. S. Anderson, of Rossville.
York county, Penn., who saw the hardest
kind of se.rvoce at the front, is now fre
quently troubled with rheumatism. “I had
a severe attack lately,” he says, “and pro
cured obottel of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm.
It did so much good that I would like to
know what you would charge me for one
dozen bottles.” Mr. Anderson wanted it
both for his own use and to supply it to
his friends and neighbors, as every fam
ily should have a botle of it in their home,
not only for rheumatism, but lame back,
sprains, swellings, cuts, bruises and burns,
for which it is unequalled. For sale by

DANCING DOWN DINNERS.
Expedient by Whirl Gormandizing la
Greatly Facilitated.
Ono of the most painful facte in life Is
the apparent impossibility of reconciling
fashion and common sense. One may be
long on style and short on comfort, or he
may have comfort to burn and give fashion
the shake, but there seems to be no all
around good thing so one tuny be swell
at.d comfortable at the same time. You
must choose between them. There is no
(food reason for this. It is an arbitrary
and unnecessary infliction laid on a suffer
ing world, and one is forced to tho conclu
sion thnt nothing short of utter malignity
could have inspired many of tho fashions
under which we groan. There is not ever
the excuse of beauty, for which ona migb;
well endure many pangs of discomfort.
There is nothing artistic in a linen collar
so high and stiff it looks like an under
study of a terracotta chimney flue. But
it is full of suffering and style. No one
since the days of Mephistopheles over had
feet built after the architecture of the
pointed too shoes. There is no beauty in
them—nothing but aches and corns and
fashion. When nature made lovely wom
an, it wrote beauty in every' soft curve of
her body, but fashion never rested until it
squeezed and compressed her into the
shape of an hourglass. She was too com
fortable in flowing draperies that fell in
loose grace, and she was girded up in stays
and smothered In frills and weighted do wn
with ornaments in the interest of the
theory that style and comfort could not be
amalgamated. Such being the case, it
gives great pleasure to notice that a new
fashion has been introduced which happily’
combines the very' latest wrinkle of,fash
ion with the most admirable common
sense.
It is now customary among the smart
set, in New York to have dancing between
the courses of elaborate dinners. The swell
dancing is varied with cake walks, skirt
dancing and other edifying aids to diges
tion. The possibilities this opens up to
people of epicurean taste are simply limit
less, and it is also beyond praise as a kind
of life saving measure, as every one at a
long dinner must have some time felt that
the next oourse would be the death of him.
Then, too, this scores heavily for us as
showing the advancement in refinement
that has been made since the days of the
banquets of Lucullus ami other swell din
ner givers of antiquity. When their jaded
appetites gave out, they took a disgusting,
if simple, means of refreshing them, so as
to be able to take a fresh start all over
again. Now, we will simply arise and exe
cute a short but violent dance, and bo
ready to do justice to the further triumphs
of tho chef. No more dishes served with
sauce piquante or sauce hollandaise, but
with tin accompaniment of Virginia reel
or a cake walk or a highland fling and
good digestion will wait on appetite.
Another advantage it offers is the sup
pression of the after dinner orator. Fol
lows like Chauncey Depew will no longer
have a monopoly on a good thing because
they can talk, don’t'you know. On the
contrary, young fellows whose brains are
in their heels will bo tho bright, particular
stars that people who give fashionable din
ners will seek out. On tho whole, this
readjustment of tho etiquette of dinner
giving has everything to commend it and
will stand as a monument to tho genius
who devised it.—Now Orleans Picayune.

HIS BOWD
For Three Years Ho Suffered Could
Hardly Breathe at Night One Nostril

Mr. A. M. Ramsey, of De Leon, Texas,
was a sufferer from Catarrh in its
worst form. Truly, his description of
his sufferings seem little short of mar
velous. Instead of seeking his conch,
fflad for the night’s coming, he went to
t with terror, realizing that another
long, weary, wakeful night and a
struggle to breathe was before him.

I have not slept on either side for two vears:
in fact, I dreaded to see night come. Now I

Robert Fulton’s Torpedoes.
Before he turned his attention to oavl
Ration by steam Robert Fulton invented a
marine torpedo w hich he endeavored to
dispose cf to the United States govern
ment. Succeeding in interesting James
Madison, then secretary of state, in the
matter, ho obtained a small appropriation
from the government for the purpose of
conducting some public experiments. In
the summer of laud be invited the high
dignitaries and a number of prominent
citizens of New York to Governor's island
to see tho torpedoes end machinery with
which his experiment ; were to tw made.
While ho was lecturing on his blank tor
pedoes, which were largo, empty copper
cylinders, his numerous auditors crowded
around him. Afte r awhile ho turned to a
copper case of tho same description which
was placed under the gateway of old (Jas
tie William and to which was att» hod «
clockwork lock.
Drawing out. a peg, Fulton set the dock
in motion, and tin n he said in solemn
tones to his attentive, audience: “Gentle
men, this is a charged torpedo, with
w)ii< h, precisely in its present state, I
mean to blow up ave. -u-i. It contains 170
pounds of gunpowder, and if I were to
suffer the do- kwori. to run 15 minutes
I have no doubt that it would blow this
fortification to atoms.”
The cirdeof humanity w hich had closed
around the inventor began to spread out
and grow thinner, and Ljefore five of tho
15 minutes bad passed there were but two
or three persons remaining under the gate
way. Some, indeed, lost no time in get
ting at the, greatest possible distance from
the torpedo, and they did not again appear
on the ground until they were assured that
the engine of destruction was safely lodged
in tho magazine whence it had been taken.
