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 Free Press. The -Macon Volunteers are mad because the governor didn’t allow them to select their own captain, is the -way the Augusta 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.

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. Sx’iuon Far London.

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.

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. —Sacramento Record Union. fw- zJ sfiaib XTfr z z 15 c * .gaatcre/ y | ft COLLEGE EDUCATION BV MAILI s fOOTIr. ¥ .US: Thorough Instruction 3 “ rvr Jfc-TIMEf ln book-keeping an.l E § S&j business,shorthand,sei -1 S ~ IMP V& ence, journalism, lan-f 3 ftSTLJ B ua ß es > architecture, g S surveylng.drawingiciv-3 - mec hanical, steam, g =** electrical, hydraulic, 3 a municipal, sanitary, H - /-' AS' ; -jt . —railroad and structural 3 = 5' 7 engineering.
