In .m~ rlo the demand for an investi gation <>!' lite cause for so much slcknews in M.iVoi,. the Board of Health held a sort of informal nm ting yesterday and directed Secretary 'Bridges Smith to prepare a com munication “positively” denying that the faulty contsruction of the sewers or that the present water supply are responsible for Hie present epidemic of sickness. The News published l.Vlr. Smith's article yesterday, but for the life of us, we fail to see that it proves anything. It may be the Board of Health's “opinion,” or Mr. Smith's opinion, that such and such is the case but what does this prove. True the communication quotes one or two scientists, who probably never heard of Macon, and who haven’t the slightest conception of how 'Macon’s sewers are con structed. And if the views of the experts proves anything at all, thi*y prove the rea sonableness of the theory advanced by cer tain other experts through The News —that “the germs which produce disease if dis charged they should be diffused above the heads of the people and not at the street level.” Or, to quote another one of the authorities given, “under common condi tions poor air, if produced, will escape, where it will fail to set up even the small est possible danger." But. how can the above authority isay whether we in Macon ore dealing with “common conditions," or with most extra ordinary conditions? Indeed, is it not clear to everyone that the conditions at present are extremely unusual, by reason of a long drought, which has, undoubtedly, caused the effete matter to congregate in the sewers to an extraordinary extent. The authority quoted in The News at the out set asserted, it will 'be remembered, that Rite sewer openings in use in th'is city might not prove dangerous tinder ordinary conditions, but would most surely cause trouble under conditions like the present. So much for the “opinion” of the Board of Health and of the authorities quoted by it. But perhaps the board relics mainly on the testimony of 'Messrs. Redmond and •Daly. The one says the sewers are prop erly flushed ami the other says they are properly built. With all due respect to their “opinions,” how do they know. Can either of these gent loment, who are, no doubt qualified to fill their respective posi tions, be considered, by any stretch of the imagination, competent to give final and expert testimony on the point? One of them says he is not able to smell any of the foul gas that is said to emanate from the sewers. How does the Board of Health know that the gentleman’s olfactory nerves are not impaired? We can produce scores of people who. from actual experience, will take issue with him on this point. \\ hat. in short, Is the "opinion” of one or a few men, none of them experts, worth in a ease of this kind? Is there even one member of the Board of Health who can assume to give expert testimony as to the construction of the sewers, or upon the point at issue? \\ > doubt if even the most learned physician of their number would stake his reputation upon his ability to do so. No. gentlemen, this sort of “investiga tion" won't do it amounts to nothing. We can get a meeting tomorrow of ten times your number, composed of men of equal intelligence and standing in the communi ty. Who are willing to assert a contrary opinion. Gentlemen, this is too serious a mat ter to be trifled with. The lives of our peo ple .are at stake. Let’s find out 'where the trouble is. Glittering generalities offer no explanation.. Let's have an investigation that will not leave the matter in doubt. Let s diagnose Alacon’s case as you would diagnose the case of some individual pa tient placed in your charge’. Tn suefi a casi if you could not find the exact Ause of the illness upon first examination, you would not content yourself with the theory t i.it rhe trouble is due to general causes. Aou would not say because similar cases of sickness exist elsewhere, you need not ook .or the cause in this particular case. Gentlemen, Macon is sick, she is in your hands for treatment. Will you continue to treat her without knowing the exact cause of her trouble’ Or will you first find out the cause, and then apply the remedy— let the blame rest where it may. On to Cuba. Tin suspense of the American govern ment and of the people of the United - tat<s is relieved. The Spanish squadron is as good as destroyed already. It is onlv a question of time and of methods now. And the destruction of this fleet ought to mean an early ending of the war. The public has .been very impatient for the mvnsion and occupation of Cuba to ‘T “ Can begin with no danger proffintn ° St t PS beinß taken ' And with and vlßor as characteristics of <l ™‘>aign it would seem that the cap- ' tire o f and , hp o th< island might be effected before the ratnj season is fairly under way It is reported that orders have now gone to Major General Shafter at Tampa to em bark troops, including all the regulars and a portion of the volunteer regiments. The delay has enabled those in charge of the mobilization of troops at Tampa to arrive at a state of preparedness for such a movement. Transports are in waiting Equ.pments of all kinds are there. ( urge army is concentrated where the movement on Cuba can be made quickly and effectively under the convoy of Samp wit h " e mUSt b< “ satiafied " . the knowledge that the invasion is going on. Os its details it will be possible for us to learn little until after the land ng of troops has been made, owing to the stnet censorship. Such a censorship is necessary in order to give the Spanish as li. le opportunity as possible to anticipate our movements. But everything now looks auspicious for the speedy accomplishment of the ends to secure which the war was Shall We Allow This ? Since The News' expose of the part be ing taken by the Southern Railway in the present .Legislative race in thia county, evidence has multiplied to prove that this giant corporation is making a secret un derhand fight on a certain candidate. As The News stated yesterday, it has no interest in the present Legislative race, other than to see justice done and fair treatment accorded all of the candidates in the field. It has persistently r«.fu„ to say more for one than it has said for the other, and it would now say as much for any or all of them as it has said con cerning Colonel Hall should it discover that the Southern is making a similar fight on them. This is where The News’ part in this fight begins and ends. But we mistake public sentiment if the voters of Bibb county will allow such in terference in their ipolltical affairs upnn the part of a railroad corporation. We even assert that mere individual prefer? ence is not to be considered where public interest is so vitally at stake as it always is when a railroad corporation seeks to dictate the choice of our law-maikers. The Ne ws has said evidence has multi plied since yesterday of the Southern's scheme to defeat a certain Legislative can didate in this county. No further evidence is needed than the fact that the Southern’s chief of political tools, the Hon. Hamp McWhorter, was here this week and held a conference with “the boys." and put things in motion. We ask again, will the people submit to such dictation. Can they afford to allow- this conxjiiracy to go through ? The Omaha Exposition. Notwithstanding the war. the opening of the Trans-iMlssissippi Exposition at Omaha, Neb., which occurred Wednesday, inaugurates an enterprise which promises to prove entirely successful and highly beneficial to that section of the United States, as well as to the country at large. 1 hough national and international in its exposition is especially designed to display the resources of the states and territories west of the Mississippi, says an exchange. No effort has 'been spared to do this in the best and most attractive manner possible. The management has been supplied with ample funds, the Federal government has lent its aid, many states have made ap propriation and everything has conspired to the success of the exposition in point of the completeness and thoroughness of the work undertaken. The Omaha Exposition promises to prove a great educator. The majority of the people of the East and the South have no adequate conception of the extent of the Western country, its resources anil business. It is a fact not generally known that more than one-fourth of the people of the United States live west of the Mis sissippi river. The assessed valuation of the property held by the Trans-. Mississippi States aggregate more than $6,000,000,000. This is estimated to be not more than one fourth of the actual value; so that all told those states have real and personal prop erty worth at least $20,000,000,000, an average of SI,OOO per capita. The far West is fast becoming a manufacturing center. Missouri, Kansas. Nebraska, .Colorado, Utah, California, Oregon and Washington are rapidly growing as manufacturing states, so that the products of thier fac tories and mills now amount to more than a billion dollars annually. No Oaks From Mushrooms. As well expect great oaks to grow from a bed of mushrooms as to expect to make money from advertising sporadically, or in inferior papers, without circulation or influence. A continuous, emphatic, persistent sys tem of advertising is needed; and it must be carried out in papers of large circula tion, which reach the buying classes. These two prime factors of a good ad vertising medium—quantity and quality of circulation—are possessed toy The News. It has not only the largest local circula tion of any .paper in Macon, but it is greater than that of all other dalies that circulate in Macon. The News is an evening paper, and goes into the homes of the people. It is read at leisure, by both the men and women of the .family. It goes into the homes of the people who constitute the great buying class. The News understands that some em missary of the Southern 'Railroad has made the statement that Colonel Dupont Guerry wrote an article or editorial in yesterday’s News calling attention to the part the 'Southern Railway is taking in the present Legislative race in this county. Any state ment or intimation that Mr. Guerry, Mr. Hall, or anyone connected with them, wrote, suggested or influenced the article in question is a lie out of the whole cloth. The News called attention to this matter solely from a sense of duty to the public, whose interests are vitally at stake when ever a railroad corporation seeks to take a hand in politics. The News has no in terest in the candidacy of any man in this race, except in the sense above indicated, and any intimation to the contrary is equally as false as the statement alluded to in the beginning. Acting (Mayor Morgan acted in a most commendable spirit yesterday when he promptly called a meeting of the Board of Health to consider certain statements that had been made with reference to the city’;, health, and the cause therefor. ‘Mr. Mor gan rightly held that this was a matter with which politics could and should have nothing to do, and he acted in a patriotic manner in calling the Board of Health's attention to it. While we are by no means convinced by the Board of Health's action with reference to the sewer openings, we would be unfair not to commend Acting Mayor Morgan for doing what was right and timely and proper under the circum stances. Such acts give the people con fidence in their chief executive, whereas obstinacy and arbitrary refusal to even consider matters brought to their atten tion only makes an executive a target for deserved criticism and causes the people to lose faith. The News publishes elsewhere a com munication from Col. Marshal J. Hatcher, a prominent fruit grower and citizen of this county, relative to the Southern Rail way's effort to dictate Bibb county’s choice of a legislator. It is to the point. Read it. And think.
