What We Have to Fear. in weighing the dangers of war the mind of lhe average man naturally assumes that tin' enemy's shells and bullets are of most roii: ri|ii< ikt, whereas statieties prove that disease is the most formidable toe that any army has to contend against. It is shown, by figures based on the records of the civil war. that where forty men, to use round numbers, are killed by bullets or die from wounds, ninety die from disease and about twenty-five from accident, making the mortality about 155 to the thousand. If ninety men out of every 1,000 died from disease during the civil war, while, as bloody as some of our battles were, only forty were killed by bullets, or died from wounds, think of the foe that awaits our army in Cuba, independent of the Spanish troops on the island. And think, you who are urging haste, what an invasion of Cuba at this time would mean. The Union and Confederate armies were not troubled with such a disease as yel low fever, although smallpox existed in both armies, yet the mortality was ninety out of every 1,000. In Cuba our army must contend with yellow fever and smallpox, to say nothing of dysentery and other that would naturally afflict unacclimated sol diers in a tropical country during the wet season. So there need be no surprise if the mortality among our army of inva sion is multiplied by two or three as com pared with the statistics of the civil war. In support of tills is the report of Dr. W. F. Brunner, late inspector of the United State; marine hospital at Havana, showing conclusively that an invasion of Cuba at this time will result in great dis aster. caused by yellow fever and malarial fevers and dysentery, which will attack the troops. Surgeon General Sternberg, of the United States army, aside from his own obser vation and experience, urges Dr. Brunner's report as conclusive proof of the folly of invasion at this time. Dr. Brunner shows that the Spanish army in Cuba has never exceded 200,000 men at any time. The deaths from yellow fever alone in the Ha vana military hospital ranged from thirty two in December to 138 in July. June. July and Vuglist wire the deadly months. The total deaths were 2,583, The total number of eases alone in Havana was 10.000. Tn other military hospitals out side of Havana 6.0.21 soldiers died of yel low fever and 30,000 were stricken with it -about one in five of the entire Spanish military force in Cuba. This Joes not include hundreds of deaths among certain troops sent buck to Spain on the loth. 20th and 30rh of every menth *in the last stages of the different diseases • numerated above. Having observed these departuias from Havana. Dr. Brunner says he can safely say that 10 per cent of the 30.000 invalided home were destined to an early .and positive death. Dr. Brunn.-r believes that the mortality rate of the Spanish army can be material ly reduced with careful consideration of the sihsi-'tence supplies, proper clothing, modern amp sanitation and revaccination against ■ mailpox: hut his statistics prove, nev, rtheless. that as much as we may min imize the Spanish .army in Cuba, an Inva sion of the island is no light matter for the reason that Spain has an ally which can. under the most favorable conditions, show a record of ninety to the thousand, and during the wet season in Cuba may. perhaps, be able to more than double this rate- killing five or six times ag m Qf our soldiers as will fall f rom Spanish blll . ets or die from wounds or accident. .Dis use is, indeed, our most formidable foe in Cuba. «,T a ?" fa< ' turerß estimate that more than SIOOO.OOO American flags have been made and sold )n the United States in the past sixty days. There is nothing particularly bewildering in the above statement but as usual, some fool has had to figure out that mpposmg flags were an average length of three feet, this would give a total length of .>.682 miles of stars and stripese if placed end to end: which would reach across the continent from New York to San Francis co and extend over to Honolulu, -with sev t 0 ? arP: ° r if made into <> np g ag it would cover an area of 11 363 mi ’ eS ’ nCar,V One - third of stat; The Water Problem. The people of Macon are again seriouslv disturbed over their water supply, and there is hardly an doubt of the fact that the water we are now drinking has already caused and will continue to cause much sickness. There is no question as to the act that .he situation is a serious one, but it is difficult to attach blame to any one tn particular. The receiver of the Macon Gas and Wa{er r<Mnpany with, the aid and approval of the court has been doing all in his power to remedy matters, and. in fact, to give Macon prac tically a new system, and one entirely ad equate to the demand. The work has’been unexpectedly ami unavoidably interfered wiith, by reason of government work tak ing precedence in the foundaries during the preparations for war, so that there is nothing to do but wait. In the meanime. however, our people should adopt measures to purify the wafer that is now served them, and thereby pro tect heir health. At the risk of advertis ing a certain line of business. The News would strongly urge upon our people the advisability of using only filtered water. It is best at all times: it is especially ad yisable now. There will be much sickness If we continue to drink the water that is now offered us: but by the use of a proper filter even worse water can be made abso lutely pore and healthful. Filter your water, not only now but at all times—but especially now. The health of your family in a large measure depends on it. The anti-Candler people are slowly but surely coming to their senses. Even Douglass Glessner has come to the conclu sion that the ring” is going to be smashed on June 6th. There is no doubt about that. This is an honest admission and It (ought to do Glessner good to thus purge his mind of the hallucinations he has pre viously entertained. You Must Register. There seems to be a sort of general misunderstanding with reference to regis tering for the coming primary to be held on June 6th. Many people are under the impression that because they paid their taxes and registered prior to the last elec tion, they are qualified to vote In the com ing primary. This is a serious mistake and will cause many to be disfranchised on June Gth. The regulations govering the June pri mary require that you shall "have paid your taxes and registered since January 1, 1898. Bear this in mind, and unless you have registered since that date do so at once, or you will not be allowed to vote on June Gth. The law allows you until the night of June 3d to register, but it is best that you should attend to it at once. Hi order to register you must go in person to Tax Colector Jones’ office, pay all taxes due and sign your name on the registration book. Remember that the registration law will be strictly enforced in the June primary. Remember that unless you have registered since January Ist you will not be allowed to vote. Remember unless you call at Tax Collector Jones’ office on or before June 3d you 'will not be allowed to register. Have you registered since January Ist? if not be sure to do so on or before June 3rd, or you will be disfranchised in the gubernatorial primary. To Select Candler Delegates. Notice is given elsewhere in today’s News of a meeting to be held at the court house next Tuesday night at 8 o'clock, to which the friends of Hon. Allen D. Candler are invited. The purpose of lhe meeting is to select six delegates to represent Bibb eounty in the coming state convention, the delegates selected by this meeting to run in the interests of Allen D. Candler. While the call for the meeting is signed by lhe President of the Candler Club it is expressly stated that the meeting is to be for all the friends and supporters of Col. Candler. In other words, it is simply a Candler meeting, and all Candler people who wish to have a choice in selecting Candler delegates to stand for election in the primary on June 6th should be present. The leaders of the Candler movement in Bibb county have gone about the selection of deligates in the fairest, most business like and most 'Democratic way possible, and it is their desire that every Candler man in the county be present at Tuesday night’s meeting to express his choice for delegates. Thorough harmony prevails in the Cand ler ranks in Bibb. as in every other county in the state, and the Candler people are going in to give the Candler delegates the largest vote ever accorded a gubernatorial candidate in Georgia. It is safe to say that six good men, representing every class in the community, will be chosen next Tues day night to represent Col. Candler in the June primary, and it behooves every Cand lerite in the county to be present and have a voice in their selection. Rob ißerner has simply made the mis take that other brilliant young men have made before him. He couldn’t wait. But perhaps he will get over it, and he will know better next time. President Candler's Successor. The Macon Evening News suggests the name of Rev. Dr. Alonzo iMonk, D. D., as a suitable man to succeed Dr. Candler as president of Emory college. Dr. Monk is one of the ablest ministers in the Metho dist denomination and his selection would no doubt give general satisfaction. — Hawkinsville News and Dispatch. It must surely be gratifying to the friends of Dr. Monk and to the gentleman him i If if they could know of the numer ous endorsements that The News’ sugges tion has received. Dr. Monk is recognized wherever he is known as a man of superlative ability; a scholar and thinker as well as a man of gnat executive powers. While The News is in ilo sense seeking to create a boom for the gentleman, a proceeding which would be quite as distasteful to him as it would be inappropriate, we cannot fail to observe with pleasure the general expression of ap proval at the mere suggestion of Dr. Monk for president of Emory. There is a feel ing that he would cause that splendid in stitution to enter upon a new era of use fulness. •According to the Pittsburg Post, a dis interested Democratic paper, the Quay fac tion will have an easy time beatiinc John .Wanamaker for the Republican guberna torial nomination in Pennsylvania. The convention will meet next week and it i now figured tha Quay has 234 delegates against 86 for Wanamaker and 18 for C W. Stone, with only IS doubtful. Con gressman A. Stone is Quay’s candidate. The Brunswick Call is the latest paper to declare Judge Atkinson “a sure win ner.’’ Well, the Call’s candidate needs considerable “jollying” just now; it is going to take a lot of it to make him face the ordeal on June 6th. Unless your name has been placed on the# registration books since January Ist of the present year you will not he allowed jo vote in the June primary. Attend to this matter at once. You must register before the night of June 3rd. Last year’s registration will not answer for the gubernatorial primary. Register at once. Last year’s registra tion does not qualify you for participation in the June primary. Go to Tax Collector Jones’ office and register at once. June 3rd is the last clay. Imperfectly U uderstood. At a certain east end Sunday school some time ago the teacher talked to the in fant class upon the evils connected with strong drink. The little tots of 4 and 5 listened attentively to a long tirade against the rum demon. Finally the teacher cried: ‘ ‘ M ine is a mocker!” The children pricked up their ears at the teacher’s vehemence. "Mine is a mocker!” she cried again, like one of the prophets of eld. The children looked very grave indeed. Mine is a mocker!” cried the teacher for the thiixl time, and then she turned and wrote the sentence in big letters on the blackboard. “Now, children.” she exclaimed as she whirled around, "I want you to tell me what wine is.” The little ones looked about vacantly. ‘‘Mine is a mocker!” cried the teacher. “Now, what is wine, first little boy?” The first little tx.y looked thoughtful. “Wine—is—a—marker,” he drawled. “No, no,” saiil the teacher. “Next lit tle boy.” Tke next, little boy looked still more thoughtful. "Wine—is—a—market,” he ventured. “No, no,” fidgeted the teacher. “Next little boy.” The third little boy smiled. He was a self confident little boy. "Wine—is—a—monkey,” he bravely announced. And then the teacher gave it up.— Cleveland Plain Dealer. WHOOPINC COUGH. I had a little boy who was nearly dead from an attack of whooping cough. My neighbors recomended Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. I did not think any medi cine would help him, but after giving him a few doses of that remedy I noticed an improvement and one bottle cured him en tirely. It is the best cough medicine I ever had in the house.—J. L. Moore, Sou uh Burgettstown, Pa. For sale by H. J. La mar & bona, druggists. 13 POWDER Absolutely Pure :z.Z2— j Vitality of the Wild Gookc. Farmer H. N. Clement of Lowell, Lake eounty, Ind., was gunning in the Kanka kee marsh. He came upon a flock of wild geese and bagged several of them, one of which astonished him by having as a breastpin an arrow 9 inches long. That goose btx-ame the wonder of the neighbor hood and the study of scientists, the only conclusion reached being that wherever the wild bird came from there it got the arrow, so unique in formation that it could Ik: assigned to no tribe of Indians in the United States or any other known coun try. Finally Professor O. T. Mason of the National museum said the bird and arrow could have come from no other place on the globe than the Yukon valley, for ex cept in that region no such arrows arc made. Science does not pretend to say how long the goose had carried the arrow of a Yukon tribesman until it met its death from the shot of a civilized gunner down on an Indiana marsh. The bird disdained the weapon of a savage, but turned its legs up to the marksmanship of the Hoo sier farmer years afterward and thousands of miles from its summer home in arctic desolation as it was journeying south ward. —Cincinnati Enquirer. - Hope. “Hope is a line thing,” said Mr. Stay bolt, “sure. We’d he a pretty miserable lot, most of us, without it. And a man can get along very comfortably for quite a spell on nothing else, without doing a blessed thing but hope that things will come his way. But while hope makes a bright light it doesn’t give out very much heat; it a man wants that, he must dig for it. It isalortumde thing for a manto make this discovery enrL . and the man who mines i he most digging with his hope fulness has t be most reason to be hopeful.” —New Yoik A Texas Wonder.

Many soldiers now feel the effects of the hard service they endured during the war. Mr. George S. Anderson, of Rossville, York county, Penn., who saw the hardest kind of service at the front, is now frequently troubled with rheumatism. “I had a severe attack lately,” he says, “and procured a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It did so much good that I would like to know what, you would charge me for one dozen bottles.” Mr. Anderson wanted it both for liis own use and to supply it. to his friends and neighbors, as every family should have a liotlle of it in their home, not. only for rheumatism, but lame back, sprains, swell ings, cuts, bruises and burns, for which it is unequalled.
