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. iW LOV4J nej &AkiHG POWDER Absolutely Pure 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 Atkinson together. HOW’S THIS?
