Jo-eph 11. li.ill for the legislature, then the vol' is of 'Bibb county have a duty to perform next Monday in asserting their light to choose their awn lawmaker* with out mi. i lei i n..e oi attempt at dictation upon tlie ipart of a railroad corporation—• e.-peciallj out that is believed to be now violating the laws of Georgia, and which, it is generally thought, desires to have these laws changed to suit its own pur poses. it is by far the most important issue that lias evt r arisen in a Legislative con test in this county, and it is tor this rea son and not from any personal choice of candidates, that The News lias dared to sound a warning which should, and no doubt will, save tlie Southern’s intended victim from ttie contemplated slaughter. We eaunot believe that the free, un traniinielhd thinking wotems of this county will fail to see tlie matter in the same light. We cannot believe that our people have been 'Mind to the meaning of the ac tive woi I* which has been done during the past few days ami is still being done by tlie Southern’s political tools. We cannot believe that they will remain silent or un concerned and see a railroad corporation accomplish Hie defeat of a particular can didate bm ause, forsoot h lie happened to defend, during the practice of his iprofes ion, a man charged with wrecking one of the Southern's trains. We assert again that tlie interference of this giant railroad i oi'lHii at ion is too serious a matter to be lightly treated by the voters of this esun t/. . > impressed are we with this fact that we have spoken out in defense of the Southi t’li'. intend' d victim in a contest in which we preferred to remain entirely silent and neutral. We have refused to be cent rolled by personal preference, bus have felt it our duty to stand up for the right of tlie people to choose for them selves as against a railroad’s attempt to say who they shall chose to make their laws. This is The News' position and It Is also the ease in a nutshell. What will the peo ple do about it? It for them to say. Will they submit? Or will they assert their sovereign right next Monday. Merchants, bankers, laboring men, wage earners, think over these things. And 'let your conscience guide you next Monday when you mark your ticket. Nothing less than your political liberty is at stake. The hay crop of the United States last year was valued at $400,600,000, and this year will be worth more. Find the Cause. We still insist that the Board of Health’s “opinion" does not satisfy the minds of the people as to the cause for so much sick ness in 'Macon. The Board of Health sim ply says it is no’t the sewers and not the water. Then what is the cause? The Board intimatese that it may be the long drought but, surely, the drought could only have caused local conditions that in turn have caused so much sickness. Then the ques tion is, what are these conditions and how are they to be remedied? Has the long drought caused the sewers, through the ac cumulation of an unusual amount of effete mater and a faulty feauture in their con struction to h-coma underground channels of disease? Can the Board of Health an swer this question without a thorough in vestigation ami without bringing expert testimony to hear on the subject? Or, Is»the sanitary condition of the city what it should be during a' long drought like tlie one we are now experiencing? Certainly tlie appearance of the streets and alleys do not indicate it. Or, perchance, the trouble lies in allowing, the streets of the city to be dug u{\ during a long, dry, heated term. This, as is well known, is positively forbidden in many cities. Evidently something Is wrong. What i«? it Can the Board of Health properly treat tlie ease without making a thorough diagnosns -without first locating the cause. This it has not done: it merely says the cause is not what some people have said It is. But until it gives some better theory than the one advanced, the people will contiue in doubt. And the situation may grow more serious. Gentlemen, find out the cause, ft is your duty. That’s what the Board of Health is for. 4re you willing that the Southern Rail way shall dictate Bibb county’s choice of a Legislator? if so. join with it in the fight against Colonel Hall. A Word to the Voters. Just bear this in mind when you go to the polls Monday. The Southern Railway’s tools, and some few who are simply work ing in the Interest of some particular can < "late. will ten you there jg nothing at aU in the report that the Southern is making a fight -on a certain Legislative candidate, fhey will say it is merely a political ca <iard. They will try to convince von that rhe Southern really has no interns': in this race j„st turn around and ask them win then d<, they talk this way. Ask them why duln t the Southern or its tools come out openly and make such a denial. Ask them why did the Southern cause certain circu- Mrs to be issued on the day of the last election willing upon railroad employes as they valued their positions, to vote sgalnst a certain candidate. In short just in mind that U 18 -rt rh, mOSt clwr,y confirms the charges that The News has made. Be on fight remember . !ha * tke Southern’s secret one, is being made from Xuh ,h r^ rp - mwst bp * order to be effective. And as vou value Po’“*cal liberty, your right to choose jour own legislators without the dictation of a railroad corporation, rebuke with vour J’ a ”°‘ th ? , attempt aI interference— this olgh-haaded conspiracy. ‘ Estimate of Cotton Acreage to Date. i The News received today from Latham. ' Alexander & Co., the' most reliable ex perts in ths country, their estimate on the cotton acreage of the United States up to June 2d. With the view of Obtaining the most reliable information possible concerning the cotton acreage of the United States for 1898, they addressed, as usual, some 3,500 letters to cotton commission merchants, brokers, banks and bankers making ad- i vances and responsible planters, embracing 'every cotton growing county in the South, : asking acreage estimates. i Up to June 2d they had received 2,448 I replies, of average date, May 20, and the following is the result, which in their ! opinion is approximately correct as could be secured by information received from trustworthy sources in the Cotton States. The estimate, which is highly important at this time, is as follows: j Acreage Acreage „ . I I**7. | 1898. Variousj Gti'.i.OOOj 602,000 Alabmaj 2,913,000 -2,796,000 ** lori<la | 252,000 ' 239,000 Georgiaj 3 604 Wjo 3,3.88,000 uis,ana I 1.251,000. 1,216,000 'Mississippi j 2>Bl6>oooi 2j732 OO(> North Carolina| 1,260,000; 1,172,(Xj0 South Carolina; 2,114,01.0, 2,008,000 Tena *s«e | 876.C001 .80,000 1— ' ■ * ■ I •>.’>78,009; 6.183.000 ! 0tate 124,071,000132,736,000 Commenting on this the Latham, Alex ander Co. say: Ihe total estimated decrease in cot ton acreage in the United States for 1898 is per cent or 1,335,000 acres less than last year, and the average planting of the crop is about the same as la.vt year when planting was late. Our correspond ents report that the reduction in acreage • has been brought about by the low prices. '. of cotton, reluctance of commission mer- ' <ban,ts to make as liberal advances to t.he planters as last year, in the face of war, ’. and the increase in acreage in tobacco, wheat and corn, on account of the high prices of these commodities. While in some sections much replanting has been necessary, on account of cold ' weather, overflow in Arkansas and White rivers and poor stands; as a whole, the ' crop can be said to be in a fair average condition as compared with other seasons ! at the same date. The closing of Joseph Leiter’s wheat |! deal, says an exchange, gives the statis- ’i tical fiend the opportunity to complete al brand new set of figures. The fiend cal culates that 'Leiter took a total nrofit of ' $4,500,000 on the deal; that his average, monthly profit was $321,400, his daily aver age profit for fourteen months $10,710, his p profit per hour sll6, .and iper minute $7.50. I here are some other persons, however, who do not believe that Leiter really made ’’ more than $7.48 per minute. It is given out from Washington that when the 75,000 called for in the presi dent’s second call is complete another call will be issued for an additional 50,000 ' volunteers, making in all 250,000, which., with the 25,000 regular army soldiers, • will . make 275,000 men under arms. We seem to have shaken off the idea that this in vasion of Cuba was to be merely a r m- ' 1 mer excursion for a few of our boys. Judge Spencer R. Atkinson is a surt» |i winner.—(Brunswick Call. Even if Ute ‘ Call isn't the original Atkinson paper, it. I evidently proposes to claim the distinction' of being the last one to nail the Atkinson colors to tbe top mast of the sinking ship. ' George Tillman, brother of Ben. is a • candidal.' for governor of South Carolina. His platform embraces the claim that he never wore an overcoat or an undershirt in his life.« This ought to insure his elec tion, thinks an exchange. We cannot believe that any considers- ii ble number of 2.100 people who have reg istered for Monday’s primary will 'tamely submit to dictation upon the part of a railroad corporation in the selection of their law makers. "'Your Uncle Allen” admits that Rob will get a few votes, but he thinks Spencer will havq to get an affidavit to prove that he was running. The Rome Tribute says The News is coneeiteld. We are at least sufficiently so to accept any a'buse from that source as a compliment. We suggest that the Rome Tribune pro ceed to get in readiness an editorial for Tuesday next telling “Why Atkinson Won.” , Will you help the Southern Railway to control ißibb county politics? Is so, vote against Colonel Joseph H. Hall on Mon day. If Cervera Is really not at Santiago, then he deserves the congratulations recently showered upon him by the Spanish people. The blue pencil of the censor seems to be mightier than the sword —or the 13- pounders either. Mole'St. Nicholas is the most appro priate location for a monument to An nanias.

June 4.—What Robert Kay ate for supper does not appear on the police records. Nothing is there but the naked fact that he leaped from a window while dreaming, that he leaped from a window while he was captured and that Justice Eberhardt fined him $lO for doing these things. Along about 1 o'clock in the morning Kay’s supper began to work and he began to think he was being chased by ghosts: soon he dreamt that devils were toe pur suers. So his dreams became worse and worse, and after a time he dreamt that Spaniards were after him. Just as any .other man would do under the eircutn- ’ stances, he leaped out Os his second - store window, at Halstead and West Taylor streets, and started along Halstead in his night attire. Cabbies and some policemen pursued him. but he ran too fast for them —he thought Spaniards were after him. In about ten minutes he plumped into the arms of a policeman and was led to the lockup.
