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 I‘ensionslo.S69.ooo 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. The b«*t time t* advertise fa all th* 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 that flesh is Jieirtu. Youth’s Companion 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 from your mother this morning!’’—Dear ton’s Weekly.

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 ndianapolis Journal.
