Should Get Together.
We have no deHire to take a hand in the
hopele . campaign of the allied candidates,
(.Messrs. Berner and Mkinson, but never
theless we cannot refrain from making
the suggestion that they should get to
gether in their attacks on Colonel Cand
ler. They .should not only get together, but
t'hey should agree on some plan of attack,
some particular charge and stick to it at
least long enough to get the public’s at
tention.
Here we find one of them in one part of
the state crying down Candler as the rail
road candidate, while the other alludes to
his “cussin” as the most serious charge
against him. .Not only are the allied can
didates themselves at sea, but their organs
are floundering around in an equally hope
less way.
There is the Macon Telegraph, for in
stance, legging for both Atkinson and
IH» rn< r in the face of the charge that Cand
ler Is the railroad candidate. The inconsis
tency of this is readily seen, and the fact
that The Telegraph opposes Candler is
proof sufficient that its owners have no
■interest whatever in hps candndacy. Those
who know anything at all about the Tele
graph’s ownership, know that If the South
ern Railway were interested in Candler’s
candidacy, the Telegraph would have to
support him, whether it wants to or not.
So that the cry of "railroad candidate”
falls Hat in the face of such 'facts.
'Hut, as for that, it is quite evident that
'the allied candidates set no great store by
this charge, for they repeatedly take up
some other cry, and harp on that awhile,
until they see the (people are weary of it.
Tnen they take up another and another,
demonstrating the weakness of their
vharges by their failure to stick to any
particular one.
As for instance, the charge of profanity
• —the cry of “cussin camdiadle.” They have
taken it turn alio.it m using this charge
against Colonel Candler, but they have
found th it this, too, falls flat, so they try
something else. Their latest is the miser
able charge that Colonel Candler is a tax
defaulter—<a man who doesn’t pay his
debts. But rhe people who know Colonel
Candler best know that it is a part if his
religion to pay his debts, and the entire
public have long since become convinced
that he is an honest man. Even had it
been possible to gain serious attention for
such a charge, Colonel Candler was able
to disprove it completely by producing ins
tax receipts ami the records of Spalding
county, showing that the payment corn,
plained of was duly made at the very first
opportunity offered for the discharge of
the obligation.
So. one by one the charge:: against Colo
nel Candler have fallen flat, ana now al
most on the eve of fdeetlm. h? stands be
fore the people as spotless, as untainted as
eve- Ta - a l .led so. haw? i tterly failed
to convince the Democratic voters of Geor
gia of his unworthiness simply because
they have been unable to find in Allen D.
Candler's whole record a single act or in
his character a single trait that wiM not
bear the closest scrutiny.
Congress will soon be called upon to de
cide the question of building a canal con
necting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
With an appropriation of about >100,000.000
a (janal could be constructed through Nica
ragua that would be of value to the United
States government for all time to come.
What Advertising Is.
'Advertising may be done in a thousand
ways. Any method which tells anybody
about anything is advertising. 'Advertis
ing is advertising. v\dvertising is any
thing which conveys a message about a
business or product, says Press and
1 Tin ter.
If a man opens a store and tells his
friends about it, he is advertising the
store.
If he prints his announcements on cards
and hands them to the passerby, he is ad
vertising the store.
If he puts his sign above the door, or
goods in the window, he is advertising the
store,
If hemakes a hundred duplicates of his
sign and nails them on fences or dead
walls where people can see them, he is
advertising.
If he joins a church or a club, or a secret
society, his name and his business will
'become known, and he will still be adver
tising.
If. he causes his sign or his card to be
reproduced and printed in a newspaper,
he doing the same that he did when he
lacked the sign on the fences, or handed
the card to the passerby. He is putting
his sign into the house of every reader of
that paper.
This hypothetical man is a retail dealer,
aie is in dire.j contact with the people to
whom he seeks to convey the news of his
enterprise. The principle is exactly the
same with the maker or handler of goods
that are to have a more than local sale.
Os all the ways of advertising, the best,
most certain, and cheapest is tlfet of using
he column., of a good newspaper. Intel
ligent people with money to spend always
read the papers.
According to the recent Spanish official
reports of the troops now in the Philippine
Islands, there are 7.000 men in .Manila.
I on th. island of Mindanao 1.500 in
Iloilo, on th. island of Panay: ?.Sk. on the
is and of Cebu tspeHed also Zebu). and X
on the island of Legte. There is no artil
lery outside of Manila and the forts.
The Legislative Race.
M.th Messrs. Cooper. Ellis, Reid, Lane
and < raig in the Legislative race, no op
portunity is given the voters of Bibb eoun
lnt tO n n ‘\ kP ? mistake - A ” «« good tnen,
and all of them have many strong personal
and political friends. Os course every vo
ter will have his preference, but no se
rious objection can be raised against either
of the above candidates. The county is to
be congratulated that such men have of
fered for office, and our people may- feel
be congratulated that such men have of
assured of the f.actfered for office, and our
ipeople may feel assured of the fact that
their interests will be well and ably serv
ed, no matter who is elected.
Another Unjust Tax.
There is still another protest against the
war revenue bill. It is offered by the life
insurance men to the proposed war tax
upon life insurance premiums, not because
of the tax itself, but the way of placing it.
The senate s plan, it is asserted, threatens
the safetyof the companiese. The summary
or conclusion of the reasoning offtred it.
support of the protest is as follows: Fire,
marine and accident insurance can recoup
taxation by increasing the rates, but life
insurance companies cannot have policies
at the same age and equal risk requiring i
different premiums. However great may
be the present exigencies of the country in
the war with Spain, there does not exist,
and no man apprehends that there will
arise any condition of the public service
which would justify congreass in imperil- :
ing the future saf* ty of the life insurance I
•business. The taxation of gross premium.- I
of life insurance is a dangerous experiment
already carried to an alarming extent by I
the states. It ought to be avoided by the |
congress so long as the life and existence !
of the nation is not in danger. The taxa- j
tion of the excess of receipts over reserves i
would fall on the revenues of the ;
companies after the reserves required by
state laws had been secured; and would
distribute the contribution to national de
fence along lines which do not threaten the
future safety of the business.
Congressman Griggs’ Good Work.
It is not often that a man makes such ;
a record during his first term in Congress i
as has been made by Hon. James M
Griggs, the brilliant Southwest Georgian
who has so ably and faithfully represented
the Second district, in the House.
Not only has Jim Griggs made a record
as a debater and a parliamentarian, but
he has made a still be tter record as an
indefatigable, level-headed worker, and
one thoroughly devoted to the interests of
his constituents.
We happen to have before us a cony of
Congrojs/man Griggs' brief speech on the
war revenue measure, together with a sub
sequent report of the House proceedings
on this important measure. And the re
cords show that Congressman Griggs’
speech and < ftorts have resulted in a sav
ing to the farmers of the South not less
than >2,500,000 annually. Think of a Geor
gia Congressman serving his first term
being able to do so much for hi-, i-ection;
surely this achievement alone entitles him
to more than ordinary distinction. It was
only through his timely and forcible
speech, as brief as it was, that prevented
a tax of 25 cents a halt; being placed on
cotton, which tax would have taken
$2,500,000 annually out of the pockets of
Southern farmers.
It is doubtufl if so slj.ort. a speech has
ever accomplished such splendid results
in ( ongress, and it deserves to be generally
reproduced as showing what a level-head
ed. zealous congressman can do by A little
timely action. Although allowed but a few
minutes in which to oppose or amend the
measure under consideration, Judge Griggs
managed to convince Congress of the in
justice of such a tax.
Helow is his speech in full, with the
official report of the House’s subsequent
action: ,
The house being in committee of the
whole on the state of the union, ami hav
ing under consideration the bill (H. R.
■10100) to provide ways and means for
meeting war expenditures—
Mr. Griggs said:
Mr. Chairman: I shall detain the eom
rnittt'< e but. a moment or two. Recogniz
ing the fact that in the short time allowed
ate it is inimpossible to discuss all the
objectionable features of this bill, which,
under the plea of necessity, is being
rushed through the house, I shall content
myself with declaring my unalterable op
position to a bond issue and pointing out
one provision of the stamp tax section
whi'ch, if enacted into law as it now
stands, will work a great hardship on the
cotton farmer of the. southern states. This
provision is as follows:
Ware-house receipts for any goods, mer
chandise or .property of any kind hel i on
storage in any public or private warehouse
or yard, 25 cents.
The amendin' nt offered by me proposes
o insert after trie word “yard”—
Except agricv-Tural products deposited
by the actual grower thereof in the reguln
course of trade for sale.
In order that the committee may under
stand me fully, 1 will briefly explain the
system o’s marketing cotton which prevails
in the cotton growing states.
The farmer begins gathering crops in
August ami finishes in I>< cem'ber. As he
gathers it he gins and packs it into the
bales known to votn'meree and deposits it
in the nearest warehouse, taking a ware
house receipt for it. The icotton is then
sijmphd ahd sold by the -wiarr'housetnan
and the warehouse receipt is delivered to
the buyer as evidence of his purchase.
'lt will be readily seen from this simple
statement that the tax of 25 cents on
warehouse receipts would come directly
out of Hie grower of the cotton, the farmer
and the smaller the farmer the heavier the
tax.
The large planter might perhaps evade
the tax in a measure by holding his cotton
until <he could put several bales on one
receipt, but I believe even in that case
the law would be construed to mean one
receipt for every Itale of cotton, which
wbul’d mean a tax of 25 cents on every bale
of cotton grown in the United Stales. This
would tax the farmers of the south $2,500,-
000 on a 10,000,000 bale crop, a sum equal
to 1 per eent of the gross value of the
money crop of the south, the market price
of which is now below the cost of produc
tion.
I cannot believe, Mr, Chairman, that
with this statement before them the mem
bers of the committee on ways hind means
will resist this amendment.
:Mr. Chairman, I voted against war until
it became inevitable. I did not despair of
honorable* peace until resolutions had
passed both houses, which meant war. I
voted as I believed for the best interests
of that people across whose every home
the black shadow of wiir had lain for thir
ty years, on whose business interests, for
the last third of a century, “grim-visaged
war” had sat. like “The Old Man of the
Sea.” consuming our energies, blocking
our enterprise, sapping our strength.
The people of Georgia were opposed to
war. 'lt was not from fear of war that
they’ opposed it. A hundred battlefields
made red with the blood of her sons freely
poured out testify in language more elo
quent than words their courageous devo
tion to a cause in which they -believe.
(Applause.)
Under the beautiful code of rules which
controls this body and which, while per
mitting the discusion of every subject ex
cept that one before the house, prohibits
any discusion of the matter under consid
eration, I had no opportunity of giving the
reasons which led me to cast the vote I
did on that question.
It is now too late to discuss it. It is no
longer a question of peace or war War
it is. whether we favor< d it or not. and
the only question now is ho.v we shall end
it speedily and sucessfully t’Ours not to
reason why" now, and while the people of
Georgia did not favor war. they stand
ready’ today, as they have always stood,
to 'bear their just share of the burdens of
government in war as well as in peace.
But when you propose to tax them 1 per
cent on the gross value of their cotton crop
when you propose that in addition to the
other burdens imposed they- shall pay Jl
- cent of the estimated annual revenue
to be derived under this bill, you intpo.se
a burden -which neither necessity demands
nor circumstances excuse. (Applause.)
The farmer has long borne burdens un
der which no other class of the community’
would have remained quiescent: The pro
ducer of the nation’s wealth, he has seen
others gather the fruits of his toil and
grow rich while he has grown poor.
This new burden imposed by this bill is
unjust to him. is ungenerous in those who
would press it. and is inexcusable in leg
islators who seek the public good.
I am sure that your candid consideration
will lead you to the adoption of this
amendment. (Applause.)
The commerce of the United States with
Japan has grown more rapidly during the
past year than that of any other nation.
The annual returns of the foreign trade
of the empire of Japan, just received by
the Bureau of Staticties at Washington,
shows that the imports into Japan from
the United States increased fiom 16,373,419
yen in 1596 to 27,030,53" yen in 1897, while
its exports to the United States increased
from 31,523,341 yen in 1896 to 52,436,404
yen in 1897. Only three countries, viz.:
Great Britain, China and British India,
made as large sales to Japan as did the
United States in 1597, and in no ease was
the increase in imports as large as that
from the United States.

The Savannah News very properly says
th- removal by Congress of the disabilities
of ex-Confederates would hive come with
more grace bad it been aceomplised some
years ago. and not in the midst of war.
However, it is well that the last legal
barrier between the two sections should
be knocked down.
The morning papers give you no news;
only our terse dispatches served in more
long winded style. The inherent advant
age of the afternoon papers in news-get
ting has never been better shown than
within the past month. They print the
news of the day of issue, not yesterday's
news.
Paste this in your hat, and bet on it if
you get the chance: When the state con
vention organizes Candier will have more
than twice as many votes as Berner and
