Just a Word.
Now that the primary is over and no
harm can be .lone by a liCle plain talk,
Tiie News conceives it its duty to say just
a word to the politicians of Bibb county—
"the men who control,” as they are com
monly alluded to. We have not liked the
attitude of the committee toward the rank
and tile of the party- which has been one
of absolute dictation. Circumstances,
however, forced us to remain silent for a
time, hut we here and now promise our
selves and the public that The News 'will
never remain silent again and see such
things done.
We allude, of course, to the action of the
committee in refusing to allow the people
of Bibb county to express their choice for
state house officers. No more unJu-.; .lad
indefensible arrangement has ever been
known in this county. It was a piece
of political manipulation that, surpasses
in coolm ss ami ofTiciousness anything of
which we have any knowledge.
The evident object of this plan was
to put Bibb in a position ’.a do some
"trading’’ in the convention. But Bibb
has be, n h ft alone in all its questionable
glory. Every other county in Georgia
■voted direct, so that the ( lection for state
house officers was settled without Bibb’s
pa rt ieipation.
Now. we assert that the Democrats of
ißibb county were quite as capable, of
choosing for themselves as we - e th? Dem
ocrats of other counties. And we assert,
too. that they were as capable as ate the
few gentlemen who have assumed to dic
tate their choice. The voter* of Bibb had
as much right as the voters of any other
county in Georgia to vote direct for the
candidates, and it is a political wrong
(that they were denied this privilege.
We said we .wished to sound a warning.
It rs the politicians whom we would
warn. Some of them are our personal
friends, and we regret to see them make
the mistake of driving the people too far.
They must pot do so agiin The people
will not stand it.
Gentlemen, remember the people some
times mutiny when servants become mas
ters. )on can drive all the people some
time and some people all the time’, but you
cannot drive all the people all rhe time.
The Nows has not been iti a position to
sm ak thus frankly for some time. It w<H
not so hamper itself again. It will not re
main silent and see the people imposed
upon any more.
We seriously doubt if the Spencer-Bob
tail combination has yet given up hope.
Their stock of confidence Is something
wonderful..
Should Investigate.
If The News has received one. it has re
ceived more than a score, of letters volun
tarily endorsing the position it has taken
with reference to the health of the city.
We believe a majority of the people are
with us in our demand for an investiga
tion, and we do not see how council can
refuse to take notice of the mi ter.
At the same time, we would have it dis
tinctly understood that The News makes
no positive assertions as to the cause of
so much sickness. The theory has been
advanced that the trouble is attributabi?
to a faulty feature of the sewers, Olacrs
still think it is the water. ahMiy believe
the di -ging of gas. water *nd ' sew r
ditches during this long dry spell is the
cause. Whatever it may be. the people
demand to know. They have a right to
know, and. for the life of us. we can see
no excuse for a refusal on the part of their
representatives in council or elsewher? to
investigate the matter.
Not, of course, such an Investigation as
the Board of Health made; but a real in
vestigation, Examination of the sewers,
of t,he water, of all other local conditions
by experts. This would be an investiga
tion. Anything less is worse than none at
all.
The News is not an alarmist. but ! t
would not disguise the situation In the
least. We feel for those who are being
bereaved and we fear for those who may
yet be. it in their behalf that we
speak.
Gentle of council, for Gal’s sake, for
the sake of the father’s the mothers, the
daughters and little children of Macon, do
all in your power to locate the cause of
this epidemic. Don’t be obstinate. Go to
the root of the matter. And do it at once.
If not the digging od ditches, what then?
it is your duty to find out.
The voters of Bibb county evidently de
cided to choose their own legislators with
out interference on the part of a railroad.
Governor Candler.
The Democrats of Georgia have nomina
ted for governor the rugged, honest, old
statesman of the mountains by one of the
most overwhelming and complimentary
votes ever accorded any candidate for office
tn this state. Opposed as he was by two
strong, active men, against whom no
charge could be brought, (except, perhaps,
that they were too closely allied to a cer
tain ring,) it was indeed "the most re
markable uprising of the people” in the
history of the state.
While cither Messrs. Atkinson or Ber
ner would have made Georgia a most ad
mirable governor, we feel that she has
made no mistake in choosing -Colonel
Candler Instead. The other two can wait
In Colonel Candler we will have a chief
executive who is absolutely without tar
nish personally or politically. As for his
ability, his success in life is the best vi
dence.
Bibb's New Representatives.
Although The News purposely kept
hands oh in the Bibb county legislative
race (except to warn the- people of a cer
tain railroad s attempted interference) it
cannot refuse to congratulate this county
upon the selection made. Indeed, we felt
from the outset that there was little op
portunity for making a mistake, inasmuch
as every one of the six gentlemen in the
race were men of character and ability
and well qualified to represent Bibb in the
General Assembly.
However, it is the successful candidates
in whom the people are now moat inter
ested, for it is upon them we mas; <i -p -nd
for the protection of our interests, and lor
whatever definite service thi.- county may
require. Without intending to flatter eith- r
of Bibb’s new representatives and without
meaning to disparage either their oppo
nents or predecessors, we can sincerely
say, and we believe the public will feel
the truth of the assertion, that no stronger
delegation has ever been sent from this
county.
Mr. Roland Ellis, who led the ticket by
such a battering majority, is a young man
of unusual ability; indeed he has uw
equals of his age in Georgia. Gifted as a
speaker, well-equipped as a lawyer and
learned in political economy as well as
devoted to the interests of the people, he
cannot fail to make a reputation for him
self and render service to the state that
will live after him.
(Colonel Joseph H. Hall, who, perhaps,
made the most remarkable race of any ot
the candidates, considering the fight made
upon him, is noted throughout the state
as a man of splendid ability and sterling
integrity. He has never been accused oi
great political dexterity, so that he has
been long in winning a political place. But
the fact that he has beeu chosen in the
face of unfavorable political combinations
is all the more a tribute to his ability ..nd
worth.
-Mr. Andrew <W. Lane male a no less
notable race in winning thirl place o.cr
his three defeated opponents. He entered
the race without the encourag-men; of tm
combinations which are considered so es
sential to political success, and almost
single- handed he whipped his fight. His
known integrity and worth as a citizen a?
well as tils recognized ability brought peo
ple to him from all sides, and he won
without the aid either of issue or combi
nations.
But not one of the three lefea-.c-l can
didates need feel dejected over the result.
They each polled a vote that any man
might value, and that . ould but be con
sidered, though in the minority, positive
evidence of the esteem in whi h they are
held. *
We congratulate the people of Georgia
upon the change made in the State Agri
cultural Department. Not that we have
any serious objection to urge l, against the
present incumbent, but because we believe
the people have selected in Hon. O. B.
Stevens, of Terrell, a better man ior the
place. And we predict that IMr. Steven’s
administration will more than fulfill the
claims and predictions that have been
made for him.
Attention is called to a communication
published elseiwhere in today's News giving
the evidence of a gentleman who claims
to know something about the proper con
struction of sewers. It may aid council in
directing an investigation in the proper
channel.
Phil Cook seems to be a chip off the old
block. Tn honoring him the people of
Georgia also honored the memory of hi
lamented father, though they would have
hesitated to do this had not -the son been
entirely worthy.
After all, Joe Turner must be a good man
not to have been defeated by that Duncan
circular. But he said he didn’t do it; and
the people, knowing what they do about
the man in whose interests it was issued
were evidently prepared to believe him.
The successful state house can li Kites
will now discover that Bibb was for t.'herr
first, last and all the time. It is so con
venient to be able to fall on either side oi
the fence, isn’t it.
The Hon. Joe Terrell is perhaps more
than ever convinced of the truth of the old
saying, "(A bird in the hand is wortn '.wo
in the (bush.”
Bibb county could not have elected three
better legislators. >Nor could she have
turned down three better ones.
We offer our sympathy to Ed” »r Stovall,
of the Savannah Press, in advance. He las
bought a perfecting press.
The News lost only one of its candi
dates. And it is not inclined to lose any
sleep over this one.
Spencer and Bob would now no doubt,
like to borrow your Uncle Allen's “gift of
expletive,” .
The Southern Railway should be given
credit for the election of Colonel Hall.
Well, at any rate, your Un?le Mari
Hardin died fighting for oifi -e.
The News’ rooster disdains to crow ovei
a dunghill victory.
Now William Yates may see where Jot
Tyrrell was right. ,
Now, let’s quit quarreling an! go back
to business.

Give New York,® Chance.
Did Boston have her Revolutionary tea
party told in every school history? So did
New York when out Sons of Liberty, as
sembling without disguise, boldly boarded
the British tea ship London and dumped
18 die ts of the hated te-:> into the salt wa
ters off what is now Buttery park. Tlio
Boston ria - r-ro is often spo .on of as the
fir-t bloodshed of the Rev-.-intion, but it
was tmtedated nearly a month and a half
by New York’s battie of Golden Bill,
wherein at 1.-a-1 one patriot of New York
city lost hi- lite deferulitig a liberty polo
that stood or. what is now City Hall park
frem the assav.its of the soldiers of King
George.
Did Boston have a Paul Revere? New
York more than matcb.es him in Marinus
Willett capturing übnb.-’t single-handed the
guns which a British regiment were car
rying off to use against the patriots assem
bling in New England, and the act of Wil
lett far outranks in picturesque heroism
the story told in verse by Longfellow.
Fraunce’s tavern, still standing at t he cor
ner of Broad and Pearl streets, in this
city, where the Sons of Liberty plotted in
dependence and where after independence
had been won Washington delivered his
famous farewell address, easily ranks with
Oid -South church and Fanettil ball as a
spot sacred to the l.ixer or iiis country.—

The dull level of r arliaiisentr.ry platitrde

The repeal of this once obnoxious law

Cuthbert, Ga. 'March 22, 1898.—This is
to certify that I have been a sufferer from
a kidney trouble for ten years and that I
have taken less than one 'bottle of Hall’s
