The News is the recognized family pa
per of 'Macon. It Is in perfect touch with
the families of Macon ami neighboring
towns.
The people who are most responsive td
advertising and upon whom the success of
most advertising depends, are the common
people the great middle classes—- who in
the aggregate have far more money to
spend than that possessed by a compara
tively small number of wealthy purchas
ers. Every intelligent advertiser of a pop
ular article : < eks the patronange .»( com
mon, ordinary, every-day people.
The News reaches all classes, but among
the common people it has, perhaps, nearly
double the circulation of any other paper.
The Volunteers and their seventy years
record are not to be ignored for Bill At
kinson and his political cohorts.
Only What We Are Entitled To.
It strikes us that just about enough
sycophantic slush has emanated from the
Southern press over the appointment of
Lee, Wheeler and other Southern soldiers
as major generals.
We fail to see that there is really any
thing wonderful about it. On the eowtrary,
it is nothing more than the South is clear
ly entitle d to if as much.
Unless tin 1 North assumes to do all of
the fighting in this War., furnish all the
men and money for carrying on the same,
how, in the name of common sense, could
President .McKinley fail to appoint two or
three major generals from the South? Is
it to be expected that the South would
simply ibe asked to furnish some forty-odd
thousand troops and pay her portion of the
war expense, leaving the North to furnish
all the leaders?
Os course President McKinley has given
the South a few major generals. He could
not do otherwise We commend him for
the judgment displayed in his selections,
tout we see no occasion to grow hysterical
over it. We see no magnanimity in it,
nothing so extraordinary as to call for the
columns of boot-licking editorials that
have been printed about it.
The South is as much a part of this
Union today as ever. She is entitled to as
much consideration as any other section
of the country. She asks no more and will
accept no less. Although this war is not
of her making and not entirely to her
liking, she has come forward (promptly
with her quota of troops and will pay her
j art of the expense. She has no occasion,
therefore, to defy President McKinley
merely (because he has accorded her such
recognition as she is entitled to.
And we believe the self-respecting peo
ple of the South would relish the situation
better if a few fool editors iwould refrain
from putting them in a false light. The
tenor of certain editorials now going the
rounds is that we of the South have no
right to expect anything, and, therefore,
should be-doubly thankful every time a
crumb is thrown our way.
Three cheers for Captain Hunter and
the Volunteers!
April Revenues snd Expenses.
The total revenue for the month of April
was made up of the following items:
Cu5t0m5514,193,977
Internal revenuel4,Bl9,o37
Miscellaneous 3,999,929
T0ta1533,012,913
The expenditures for the month of April
were as follows:
Civil and miscellaneouss 9,025,000
War 6,223,000
Navy 12,549,000
Indians- .... 533,000

Interest 5,100,000
T0ta1 541,299,000
Excess of expenditures over re-
C ?'P' B -- $11,286,056
In April, 1597. the expenditures for the
army and navy, on a peace footing were
only $7,031,089. This year, for the same
month, they were $18,772,000. The differ
ence, almost twelve million, is due to war
expenses.
Gut from now on the war expenses will
be met toy the new taxation law.
AV hen Havana passes out of the hands
of Spain the United States government
should see to it that the ashes of Christo
pher < olumbus, which now lie in the Ha
vana Cathedral, are brought to this coun
try and a special mpnument erected over
them. Columbus was not only not a
bpmuiard, but he suffered many indigna
tions at the hands of Spain. It is fitting
that his ashes repose in the soil of his
country and that proper means should be
taken to pay due respect to all that is left
of the great discoverer.
The Volunteers should elect “Brigadier-
General’ Atkinson an honorary member.
Right Prevails.
At last that splendid company of sol
diers. rhe Macon Volunteers, have tri
umphed over the politicians who are at
tempting to re-arrange Georgia’s militia
according to their own ideas and for their
own benefit. The Volunteers are to go to
the front, but they are to go as every
Georgia military company should go—a.
at present organized. And thus right and
justice pravail over political chicanery
and bumptiousness. *
While regretting that the Volunteers
must go at all, there are. few if any in
Macon who are not elated at the victory
won over Bill Atkinson and his fellow
bunglefts. It is a victory for Captain Hun
ter, who held out for his own and his com
pany s rights. It is a victory for every
individual m« m-ber of the Volunteers who
contended for the usual observance of
military precedent. And it is a victory
for the entire military of the state, for it
rebukes the man who assumed to make of
the militia of Georgia mere puppets to
dance to his own political .will. And it is
a victory for the p< ople, for the people are
always interested in seeing right prevail.
The News joins with the entire Macon
public in congratulating the Volunteers.
They go to the front as any organization
of gentle men would desire to go and should
go—with their own organization intact.
Not as mere regulars recruited from every
quarter and from every station of life.
They go as their fathers went thirty-odd
years ago, and, if given an opportunity,
they will make the same sort of record.
The N< ws is glad that at least one
Georgia company is to 'be allowed to go to
the front with its own colors Hying and
under its own officers. At least one com
pany has escaped the effects of the de
moralizing shake-up that a politician gov
ernor has attempted. We think the state
is to oe congratulated over the fact.
Must I ake Porto Rico.
The outlook is that a naval battle will
occur oft Porto 'Rico at any hour. In all
probability it will 'be the most important
naval engagement of the war. 1 may
even end it. At any rale it must result
in the taking of Porto Rico toy the United
Stau s.
We have already taken 'Manila, but we
have three things yet to do —the catpture
o.f Porto Rico, tlie destruction of Spain’s
Atlantic licet, and the occupation of Cuba.
With tlie fleet vanquished or captured, the
rest will be easy writing. The end of the
war may then ibe said to be in sight.
But, after the cessation of hostilities will
come the most vital stage of the Spanish
incident—the making of peace.
There can be but one basis of settlement
—Spain must move off of the Western
Continent. She must surrender Porto Rico,
as well as Cuba, for while a single rem
nant of Spain’s sovereignty remains in the
West Indies, Cuba would be perpetually
menaced, and we should have this job of
purification all to do over. There is no
reason why Porto Rico should not be per
manently held by us as a legitimate spoil
of iwar. It has great strategic value, a
splen.id harbor, and with Cuba independ
ent, an easily guarded (possession. Valua
ble as St. Thomas would be, the island of
Porto Rico would be infinitely more val
uable.

New ICngland Spice.
In tho year ItiOß the merchants of Bris
tol, England, fitted out two vessels for
'Virginia, which then embraced Now Jflng
land. It would puzzle tho reader to guess
for what commodity they were sent.
These vessels, the Speedwell and tho
Discoverer, were to loud with sassafras,
which has been termed tho Now England
spice.
Sassafras is of little account today, hut
in the seventeenth century it was esteemed
for its fabulous medicinal properties, and
its cost was proportionally great. It sold
for H and 5 shillings .a pound and some
times for more.
Sassafras, it is said, aided in the discov
ery of America, since Columbus smelled
tho odor of this wood and bark—the In
dians had been cutting some of the trees
—and was thus enabled to convince Ids
mutinous crew that land was near.
Itwason the Massachusetts coast, where
tho sassafras tree grows abundantly, that
thocrewHof the Speedwell and the Discov
erer obtained their supply.
The sassafras, found over a wide stretch
of country, rarely attains the dimensions
of tv large tree and is commonly little more
than a shrub. ■ In tho middle of this cen
tury there was growing in Ciimbrhige.
Mass., a tree more than fiU feet in height,
the largest and most beautiful tree of its
kind known in New England.
The owner of the field in which this fine
specimen grow, finding it in the way of
running a straight line wall, cut it down
and dug up its routs. Little cared he that
sassafras root rather more than a century
ago was worth $2,000 a ton and was
esteemed a panacea for nearly every ill

Why He Didn’t Care.
A boy was taking his father's breakfast
in a breakfast can, when another tx>y came
up to him and gave the can a kick.
“Do you care about mo kicking that
can?’’ asked the newcomer.
“No. 1 don’t,’’ replied the other hoy.
“!>} you now? 1 ’ said the former, giving
the can another kick
“No, I don’t,’’ answered tho latter
“Do you now?" cried the infuriated
bully, giving the can such a kick that it
knocked the bottom out
“No, 1 don’t,” again replied tho boy
with the cun. “My mother borrowed it

that 600 words of any language are enough
for human communication. "Six hun

the outside limit of the vocabulary of the

DO PEOPLE READ POETRY?
Due Bew>paper Answer* the Question,
Showing They Do.
An eastern periodical has lieen trying to
answer the qncHtion. “Do j>eople read po
etry?” and t<> that end has interviewed
publishers and various llterrwy persons
suppiised to have information on the sub
ject The conclusion drawn from tho data
so laboriously gained is to the effect that
they do read it. Os course they do, hut it
tvas hardly necessary to take such pains to
find out. A little reflection ami observa
tion would have answered as well.
A magazine or nevvspai* r editor must
be. aware, if he will stop, to think, that, if
only those people read poetry who write it
a large proportion of the imputation may
be classed as readers. Perhaps the readers
of other people's poetry are hardly so nu
merous, but there is no doubt that poetry
is widely read and is favorably regarded
by persons who make no literary preten
sions Ask the very domestic woman or
tho woman in a remote larmhotlse if she
keeps a scrapbook, and she will in ail
prolmliility acknowledge having thus pre
served a few •• pieces of poetry” taken,
the most of them, from the one weekly
paper that conies to her home.
The clubwoman reads poetry, of course.
She has to if she would stand well, hut it
is not so certain that she engages in the
perusal for irersonal enjoyment It is
son el i mes because she must know about
“tone color” and who the’.’poet prophets”
are, ami what Browning meant, and
what Whitman was driving at, and all tho
rest of tho poet, loro —hut she reads it, and
the clubwoman, us we all know, makes
up a good part of the community. What
she reads and professes to like is of
course only that class of verse admitted
by magazine editors to be poetry, ami it, is
not exclusively tills which is meant when
it is asserted that all men ami women
read more or less poetry
The verses that tho woman out on the
farm has in her seraph >ok, that even the
clubwoman baa tuckul nnay in her desk
ar her pocketbook along with samples of
silk, or that the man of business carries
in his vest, pocket uni:) tho bit of paper is
worn out, would not always ( ass muster
with the critics. Tb.ir meter may some
times be faulty, tho thoughts may be mere
platitudes, but. they somehow express a
sentiment that, appeals to the heart; they
touch t he emet ions, not the iiilelleet alone;
they speak of common experiences—of
love ami longing and loss, of home, of
mother, of child, sometimes of religious
faith, but always a tender sentiment Tho
man and woman who cherish these verses
would resent bqingcalled sentimental, but
one so callous as not to he moved by gen
uine sentiment, even crudely expressed, is
rare.
Comparatively few read volumes of
verse -poetry, the best of it, is a luxury
that even the cleet are apt to take in small
quantities—and the public has learned in
stinctively to pasr by most magazine verse
as having nothing in it. That it is perfect
in form and classic in thought means
nothing if soul rs not there, and it is
mechanism rather than soul t hat is usual
ly discernible. It is the poetry found in
the corners of newspapers that is read and
cut out and learned by heart, tho verses
perhaps contributed by amateurs, perhaps
taken from the masters, but chosen be
cause they speak tho thoughts and aspira
tions, the hopes and loves and griefs com
mon to humanity. Not ail of it is what
the critics know as poetry, but it is poetry
to tho readers, and if that is not a final
test it is one sufficient to answer the ques
tion mentioned in the beginning. l

Mr. A. M. Ramsey, of De Leon, Texas,

me of all pain. One nostril was closed for
ten years, but now I can breathe through it
readily.
I have not slept, on either side for two years:
in fact, 1 dreaded to see night come. Now I
sleep soundly in any position all night.
I am 50 years old, but expect soon to be able
to take hold of the plow handles. I feel glad

In Place of a Wardrobe.
For the girl whose bedroom boasts no
wardrobe amt only a single closet to hold
her everyday garments it is necessary to
Utilize any recess there is. To do this get
a board the width of the recess and as high
as can be conveniently reached. Have
screw hooks placed upon it for the waists
Auaiiisl the wall stretch a length of ere
tonne <>r muslin Let this bang down just
twice the length of the recess Under the
hcudboaitl have a six inch board with
screw hooks on it for the skirts. Then on
the very front edge of the headlx-ard have
very small h.sd.s s.-rev. »<1 in and corre
spondingly tin-, rings on the extreme edge
of the long pieeekii eretoi.no. When the
skirts and bodices are hung on their re
specitivc pegs, turn up this cretonne and
catch the rings into the hooks, thus, us it
were, inclosing the dresses in a loose bag.
Outside of this recess, a few inches higher
than the headlioatd, have a little brass
rod fastened, on which, by rings, one can
bang a pretty curtain, which will conceal
tho cretonne bag.—New York Post
Derivation of Settle.
An amusing instance of irresponsible
derivation is given in the “ Dictionary of
Architecture,’’ published under the aus
pices of the Architectural Publication so
ciety, under the head of "Settle,” which
is stated to be ■•perhaps derived from ‘seat
nil people," ex temp. Henry VIII, at the
Green Dragon public house, Combo St.
Nicholas, Somersetshire,” and “settee,”
which Professor Skeat calls “an arbitrary
variation of settle,” is defined to be a
stone bench, the word being actually de
rived from the Anglo-Saxon sell, a seat.—
