Red Cross Appeal.
The relief committee of the American
brunch of II”- Society of the lied Cross has
Issued an appeal that is worthy the con
sideration oi the people of the entire
country. This organization has mo other
livid of work tit.tn to relieve the distress
of the .-ulfeiing in cases of war, pestilence
and famine.
ft was organized at Geneva a number of
years ago at a conference of representa
tives from nearly all the civilized nations
of tiie globe, and itn tills way it was given
a national character in all those countrie
in which branches were established. By
an interna I !itmal agreement the various
socictiu. are given peculiar privileges in
times of war. and its agents and officers
are permitted to carry on their work with
out hindrance from either of the belliger
ents, but they are prohibited from having
anything, however remote, to do with mil
itary or naval operations. Thy deal ex
clusively with the means provided to aid
the wounded, relieve the suffering and
care for lite sick, in all of which the Red
Cross agents know neither friend or foe.
In case of a battle the ambulance, sur
geons and nurses of the society go upon
Hie Held ais coon as it is possible for them
to do so and carry out the work of mercy
that has been undertaken.
The \ ntia ir in society has been generous
in extending its aid to other countries in
times of war, and during the Franco-
Prussian hostilities in 1870-1 it sent to
Paris fioin its own funds $120,000, while
the French branch expended $2,500,000.
Fveti the Spanish branch contributed to
the hnnianitai ian work of that war in the
sum of sl.ooo. In the Tihrko-Russtlatn, the
Tunisian, the Tonquin, the (Madagascar,
the Greeeo-Turkish and several other wars
the died Cross has carried on Its work of
mercy. The present struggle has put an
unusually heavy burden on the society,
for. in addition to the relief of the sick
and wounded soldiers, It has undertaken
to provide for the starving people of Cuba,
which is an expensive task of itself.
The society appeals to the people of the
Uni'ted States for any aid that it is possi
ble to procure, and almost anything that
u generous person can spare will be avail
able, although money is the most useful.
The president of the Gallatin National
bank of Now York is the treasurer, and
funds maybe safely transmitted to him.
Says the Augusta Herald: “Minter Wim
berly. Eq.. who will probably make the
race for the legislature from Bibb county,
will make one of the best representatives
ever sent from the Central City.”
To Raise Cheap Meat.
There Is no good reason why the South
may not raise meat cheaper than any
othur portions of the country, says the
Southern States Farm Magazine. The
mildness of the climate and the length of
the growing season are both in its favor
and give unusual advantages and savings
in the raising of live stock. One of the
most gratifying evidences of progress tn
these states is seen in the rapidly- increas
ing production of food supplies. In noth
ing is this more manifest 'than in the sup
ply of hog products. The census of 1890
reported the number of hogs in the United
States at 57,109.58.3. of which the fourteen
Southi rn States returned 15,908,312. or
about IS per cent. The report of the sec
retary of agriculture at Washington for
1896 report, d 42,812.759 hogs in the United
states had 19.075,21'2, or over 11 per cent,
thus showing an increase of 16 per cent, as
compared with the total number in the
Uni’ted States ami 20 per cent, as com
pared with the number in the Southern
states in IS9O.
The most rapid Increase has taken place
in the states of Alabama. .North Carolina,
South Carolina. Georgia and Texas, which
states are also making the mos.t rapid ad
vance tn manufacturing industry, thus
showing a growing local demand for .pro
visions.
Kentucky and Tennessee show a con
siderable decline. Many Northern states
also show a very great falling off.
A Southerner and a soldier of the Con
federacy, now living in lowa, says an ex
change. expressed the sentiment of the
South very plainly and tersely the other
day when he said: “We coudn’t lick the
Yankees in 1861, and d—d if we'll let any
one else lick 'em now.”
t
The Demand for Wheat.
The wheat crop of the United States last
year was the largest produced since TS9I,
but shortages in other countries make the
worlds harvest smaller than that of any
year since 1890. This was a conjunction
of statistical affairs that was most fortu
nate for American farmers, and they have
profited by it in realizing the best prices
obtained :n any ear. with three exceptions,
since 18S:i. The situation indicates that
this country may have a larger yield of
wheat this year than it had in 1897; but
there must be a gain of over 400,000,000
bushels in the world's production to make
the latter equal that of 1595. and of over
500,000,000 bushels to bring it up- to the
size ot the harvest of 1894. Europe wiM
'? n ' a ' th '’ WhPat of the crop
which the United States will have to spare
and producers can count confidentlv on ob
taining good prices, for which thev should
reap the benefits instead of allowing spec
ulators to receive them, as has been the
case to a very large extent, in the increas
ed prices which prevail now.
The war excitement tends to abstract
public interest to some extent from the
maneuvering of political gamesters. The
pursuit of place by office-seekers has also
been turned in a now direction. The or
ganization and subsistence of armies gives
employment to thousands of p i ace ‘ men
who never smelt gun powder. Commis
sions in the commlssiriat never go beg
ging. There are swarms of volunteers.
Such service is very attractive to the or
dinary political heeler.
An Estimate. »
When the state Democratic convention
meets in Atlanta on June 23d, Hon. Allen
U. Candler will be nominated for governor
on the first ballot.
The Candler forces will organize the con
vention without a struggle, and there will
be nothing to prevent speedy action on
the part of the convention.
As the race now stands Colonel Candler
is absolutely certain of 222 votes out of the
the 350 delegates to be elected. He wilt,
in all probability, get more than this num
ber, but in making this estimate we pre
fer to give him only those counties which
are in no sense in doubt.
In estimating the vote of (Messrs. Bernet
and Atkinson, we prefer to give them
practically what they claim, except where
their claims are absolutely preposterous
By this process Berner may be credited
with fifty votes afid Atkinson with thirty
six, leaving forty-two doubtful. Os the
latter Colonel Candler will get more than
half, but, to be libera], we will say he
can count on sixteen out of the forty-two
giving him a total of 238 votes on rhe first
ballot, or more than a two-thirds vote
It is very clear, therefore, tha.t nothing
that the allied candidates may do can pre
vent Candler’s nomination. Both Berner
and Atkinson fully realize this, and they
are sinvply fighting to a finish because
they are ashamed to acknowledge their de
feat.
While the above estimate is satlcfactory
enough and can be relied on absolutely,
there need be no surplse of Messrs, Atkin
son and Berner fail to get 100 votes be
tween them. Indeed .we ..hall be surprised
if your Uncle Allen fails to get more than
2ao votes on the first ballot.
Gen. Merritt’s Good Sense.
To our mind. General 'Merritt has shown
up to better advantage since the beginning
of this war than any man connected with
the army—notwithstanding the unfriendly
attitude of Secretary tAlger, who was se
verely reprimanded by General Merritt for
neglect of duty, or cowanlice, during the
civil war, and who has used his present
office to revenge himself on Merritt.
The latter’s, unwillingness to undertake
the task of ousting the Spanish army from
the Philippine Islands with an insufficient
force of raw recruits furnishes a proof
Jf his fitness for the task. If all
his fifteen thousand soldiers should be
regulars, seasoned to the instant business
before them when they shall be landed at
Manila, the odds would still be heavily in
favor of the Spaniards, unless the insur
gent forces could be depended upon to give
efficient aid. The insurgents are an un
known quantity; but Manila is a city of
100,000 inhabitants, and the population of
the Philippines is over eight millions of
people speaking strange tongues, unletter
ed. uncivilized, and incapable of settled
and orderly government.
General /Merritt has demonstrated that
he fully comprehends the gravity of the
undertaking, and he has given ample evi
dence of the fact that he will make no
mistakes.
Early Closing.
The News notes with much pleasure that
some of (Macon’s merchants have’ already
inaugurated the early closing movement,
and it will, we believe, be the common
wish that the early closing movement may
become general during the first week in
June.
The majority of our merchants fully un
derstand the justice to their employes of
this arrangement, as well as the good
business policy in volved therein. There
is no good reason why our people cannot
do their trading before 6 o’clock during the
summer, and they will gladly conform to
such an arrangement whenever our mer
chants say the word.
The only trouble met with in making
such a movement successful is the disposi
tion of one or two merchants in some
particular lino of business to hold back.
This, of course, deters ethers, and thus a
large number of employes are deprived of
the recreation that they so justly deserve.
Without meaning to appear officious. The
■News appeals to all of our merchants to
close their stores at 6 o’clock beginning
June Ist.
Democrats Want No Mote Bonds.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, in a recent
speech in the senate, correctly stated the
position of the Democratic party toward
the war revenue bill, now before that
body. He doubted whether there was a
man in thesenatft who was not ready to vote
all the money and taxes neeessavy to carry
on the war 'but he would consider tt a neg
lect of duty to vote for too much money.
He criticised the estimates made of the
amount that would be needed, and quoted
the secretaries of war and navy to show
that they were excessive. In reply to a
Question he said? “I am willing to fix the
amount that ought to be produced by the
pending bill at $150,000,000; 'but I believe
it would be best and wiser for us to levy
even more taxes rather than increase our
interest bearing obligations. If I had to
take my choice between an issue of bonds
and an increase of taxation, I would prefer
to increase taxation.”
Those Patriotic Trusts,
The octopus trusts which have grown
fat and insolent under the government’s
indulgence, avail themselves of every op
portunity to kick it now tha't it is involved
in a war with a foreign power. The cause
of the delay in sending reinforcements to
Admiral Dewey was the exorbitant de
mand for transportation. It is high time
for the government to let these creatures
feel the weight of its strong arm. which
should meet out to them the punishment
they deserve. With the law now on the
statute books enforced, they would be
powerless for any great amount of evil;
but with officials whose sworn duty it is
to enforce the law, owing their positions
to the influence of these corporations, or
being otherwise under “obligations” to
them, it is as inoperative as was the fugi
tive slave law in (Massachusetts in 1860.
When will American patriots awaken to
the dangers that threaten the life of our
institutions, and rescue the ship of state
from its per Ms.
Postmaster General Smith has arranged
that the postal service for the men in camp
and in the field, shall be supervised en
tirely by the existing force of the depart
ment, while the active work of collecting
and distributing the mail matter will be
carried on by the officers and men es the
army.
The bureau of statistics estimate from
the records of the past ten months that
the excess of exports over imports for the
fiscal year ending June 30 next will ap
proximate $600,000,000. This will be the
biggest export trade ever done by the
country in any one year.
Let congress heed the demands of 73.-
000.000 people to protect them against the
Shylock greed of the Leiters and Armours
by enacting laws which will make it Im
possible for any man or combination of
men, however depraved, to corner or gam
ble on food products.
Whatever may be the feeling of the Ger
man government, and of the people of
Germany, with regard to the war between
the United States and Spain, there is no
question as to the attitude of the German-
Amerieans. There are no more patriotic
citizens in the United States than these.
Fort Valley alone is preparing to ship
SOO carloads of peaches, besides plums and
melons. Marshallville, a few miles dis
tant. "will ship 600 cars of peaches anil
over 100 cars of plums. This means good
business in Central Georgia throughout
the summer.
The people want no more bonds issued
by the government, and senators and rep
resentatives who vote to fasten them upon
the people will find that people will fasten
them down to private life, to remain till
the last .bond has been redeemed.
By the war revenue bill, the bankers'
special tax is expected to bring in $2,394.-
000, and theaters and other exhibitions,
$1,820,000, annually. It remains to be seen
whether the bankers or the ballet girls
have the greater influence with Congress. ,

GAY SIDE OF CAMP LIFE.
How General Burt Was Bossed by a Pri
vate.
Camp George H. Thomas, Field of
Chickamauga, Ga., May 10.—The life of tihe
army here is not at all “one demnition
grind.”.
An old Geogian, whose home, is in the
hil'Ts south of the park, has been a most
pers'instent visitor to the camp. He drives
an old slab-sided, clay bank horse that
beats a striking resemblanlce to its owner.
His buggy is, or rather was, a rattle-trap
affair. The old man hitches “Old Yaller”
in a clump of oaks, seats himself on a
goods box under the awning of tihe post
office, tells of the “sixties” and gives ad
vice as to the present campaign.
But “Old Yaller” comes no more.
A few days ago the old man came in
anil found every hitching place taken for
a lot of army mules, so he hitched the an
cient beast to the drawhead of a freight
car. He had just gotten well into ra-e
second battle of Manassas, with a group
of idlers for an audience, when he heard
Uno ominous clankety-ciaiik that means a
freight train is “taking up the slack.” He
made a flash for “Old Yaller,” but it was
too late. The cars were being pulled' out
on the main track and constantly gaining
speed. “Ohl Yaller” was follow, dragging
the buggy over the uneven ties. The old
man ran after the train, waving his hands
and shouting “whoa!”
The buggy went to pieces, flic halter
straip broke and the horse, beyond a few
scratches, was uninjured. Tihe old man led
the horse back to the posto'ffiee and said to
the crowd: “I’m going home. A man that
iiain’t got no more gumtion than to hitch
a horse to a freight train ought to have a
gardeen.” He has not been seen in camp
since.
General Burt is a great admirer of the
national game. Recently the general,
then colonel, asked to parti'Cipate in a
game being played between two nines of
his regiment: “Look here, I know enough
about, baseball to know that you have to
be in command here. Just forget that I
am your cclowel. For the time being I
am plain Andy Burt, one of the nine and
you are my ranking officer.” The colonel
lined out a single and reached first base.
The captain, a private, stationed himself
on tiie coa.-ii line and began yelling at
him: "Steal off fliere ii'otti ninety feel,
Andy. Do you think you are tied to that
bag? That •pitelier can't. —get back there!
You move like an ice wagon Another
Ibr- ak like that and I’ll iput you on the
be nch. ’ ’
This was too much for the colonel. He
sauntered off doing some tall thinking,
and watched the rest of the game front
the front of his tent.
Priceless Fain
“If a price can be placed on pair, ‘Mother’ss
Friend’ is worth its ■weight in gold as an allevi
Htor. My wife suiferefi more in ten minutes with,
either of her other two children than she did al
together with her last, having previously used
four bottles of ‘ Mother’s Friend.’ It is a blessing
to any one expecting to become a mother,” says
a customer.
Thus writes Hendercon Dale, Druggist,
of Carmi, 111., to the Bradfield Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ga., the proprie
tors and manufacturers of “ Mother’s
Friend.” This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines ad
vertised to do unreasonable things, but a
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman’s organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier it
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used duia ng the last month only with,
great benefit and success.
It not only shortens labor and lessens
the pain attending it, but greatly dimin
ishes the danger to life of both mother
and child, and leaves the mother in a con
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.
