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. , 1.0v3 fel POWDER Absolutely Pure Doesn’t that Bingley law furnish suffi cient protection for the New England coast, asks the AVashington Post.

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. *' Mother’s Friend ” is sold by druggists at fi.oo, or sent by express on receipt ot price.
