HOW TO LOOK GOOD.
Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy con
dition of all the vital organs. If the liver
is inactive, you have a bilious look; if
your stomach is disordered, you have a
dyspeptic look; if your kidneys are af
fected. you have a pinched look. Secure
good health, and you will surely have good
looks. "Electric Bitters" is a good Altera
tive and Tonic. Acts directly on the stom
ach. liver and kidneys, purities the blood,
cures pimples, blotches and boils, and
gives a good complexion. Every bottle
guaranteed. Sold at H. J. Lamar & Sons’

CITY OF MACON
ARRIVED TODAY
And is Now Unloading Her
Cargo at
HL LEA'IE MIDI
If the Cargo Can Be Unloaded in
Time—Another Boat to
Be Built,
The steamer City of Macon owned and
operated by the Macon Navigation Com
pany. has arrived on her sixth trip from
Brunswick.
The boat came in early this morning
and is now unloading her cargo at the foot
of Seventh street.
The boat is the pride of the city, having
been built here and being run by a home
company.
The boat was somewhat behind on the
return trip this time as the water has
been very low for some weeks past and it
was necessary for the boat to lie up at
Hawkinsville for over two weeks.
Jfcr
GEORGE A. SMITH,
President iMacon Navigation Company.
The boat, when the river has plenty ►’
water, generally makes the trip from 'Ma
con to Brunswick and return in about ten
days. This is a splendid schedule for a
river steamer to make, especially in a
river, which is full of snags and sand bars.
The steamer goes into Brunswick and
lands and takes on her cargo at the Mal
lory Line dock.
The steamer had on board this trip the
largest cargo which has ever been brought
into Macon. Lack of space prevents our
I JRlB' I
« i
THE STEAMER (CITY OF MACON,
Owned and operated by the Macon Navigation Company,
publishing the manifest, which would show
exactly what was brought.
The steamer will start on her return
trip tomorrow if the cargo can be unloaded
today. It is expected by the managers of
the line that a larger cargo will be brought
back on the next trip.
The officers and directors of the Macon
Navigation Company are: George A. Smith,
president; A. Block, first vice president;
F L. Mallary, second vice president: I. B.
English, C. B. Adams. G. C. Johnson, A.
B. Small, N. B. Corbin and George A.
SniPh, directors.
The officers and directors are thi iking
s'-ongly of building another boat and put
ting it on the line. This would mean ;
much to Macon, as it would mike the i
freight rates to the city much cheaper and i
it would probably induce the railroads to j
give cheaper freight rates.
It is expected that the boat will leave j
on its return trip tomorrow and arrive in I
Brunswick Friday.
The cut of the boat which we publish
today is an excellent picture of it and the '
readers of The News may get a splendid j
idea of what Macon’s boat is like.

THOUSAND RIFLES DAILY.
Made and Delivered to the American Army
ana Navy.
Washing-ton, D. C., July 9 —There has
been a good deal said lately of the terrible
effect of the Mauser rifle, but if the truth
is known it not a bit more destructive
than the new rifle the American army uses
and not so fine a weapon as the new navy
small arm. While firing a smaller bullet
than the American gun, it has not the
same flat trajectory, and, therefore, is not
as accurate. The navy gun can. shoot
farther and swifter, and can more surely
hit the target.
It is an unfortunate state of affairs that
with the army are two, and perhaps three,
different calibers of rifle®, and that such a
thing as interchangeable ammunition Is
not possible. If the sailors and marines
were landed there -would be another va
riety of small -arm added to the forces,
the cartridges of which would not fit the
bore of any other gun.
The regulars -are armed throughout with
the new army gun of 30-oallber, a weapon
that is conceded to be the best in the
world. With each piece is a bayonet which
answers the purpose of a carving knife,
a trowel for throwing up embankments,
and running through a soldier as well.
Many of the volunteers have the Rem
; in-gton gun, of about 45-ealiber and of far
less range and shooting effectiveness than
the modern gun. This piece is less effec
tive than the Mauser, but still is an ad
mirable gun for its range.
Differences between the ordnance ex
perts of the army and navy lead to this
condition of affairs. It may not prove se
rious, but still opens up the possibility at
all times of ammunition for one type of
gun falling short, while another may have
an abundant supply.
When the two services considered the
small arm question no efforts were made
to induce the army and navy to adopt the
same type of gun. The army gun was ac
cepted and put In service about two years
before the navy determined on its weapon.
At present rifles are being m-anufacteured
for the army at the rate of 1,000 a day;
and deliveries are made to unequipped
regiments as fast as the rifles are received
from the factories. These guns are all of
the 45-caliber, and millions of rounds of
ammunition are being turned out to supply
them.
The army experts have not the slightest
fear regarding the equipment of the forces
under General Shafter, and speak of the
Remington rifle as being almost equal to
the modern guns. This rifle, they say, in
the hands of trained soldiers and expert
marksmen is equal to the Mauser.

Bean the Kind You Hare Always Bought
Grammarians Spoil the Language.
Is the new century now so close upon us
to see a revolt against the grammarians
and orthographers? There are some Indi
cations of it. Here is M. Anatole France,
for instance, a master of the French lan
guage and an academician to boot, who
declares boldly that what we want is lib
erty —the liberty of spelling as we choose.
A hundred years ago who thought ct
spelling in a particular way? It was a
sort, of go as you please, and the classic
works of every country in Europe abound
in sellings which, if they were perpetrat
ed by the candidate at an examination of
any sort, would inevitably result in his
being plucked.
Evon those great epistolary writers,
Mme. du Deffont and Mme. de Sevigne,
are full of what would be considered now
adays as solecisms in the way of spelling.
M. Francisque Sarcey, the critic, comes to
the aid of M. France and declares that the
grammarians have spoiled the language.
Language is constantly in a transition
state, yet the grammarians confine it
within their narrow rules, and thus pro
nunciation and spelling get to differ more
and more. In competitive examinations,
says M. Sarcey, spelling should be ignor
ed, and only gross errors in syntax should
be visited by bud marks.—London Daily
News.
A Wartime Tragedy.
He was an unsuccessful war author and
he had been vainly trying to induce the
bank officials to consent to the renewal of
his 90 day note, and when he reached home
he was sad and low spirited, but he found
this little memorandum under his plate:
“John, please attend to these items at
once:
“The gas bill is $6.80.
“The coal bill is $9.60.
“Please give the servants $lO apiece.
“Pay the butcher SBO.
“The groceryman must have S4O.
“We owe sll for milk and butter.
“If my new dress comes while you are
home, pay the boy $lB.
“I believe that is all for the present. At
least i don’t think of anything more just
now.
“P. S.—Put $lO under the red hand
kerchief box on my bureau tor me.”
He went over the above items carefully
and prayerfully, and when he hud fully
mastered them ho penned these lines:
“Molly—l have gone to enlist in the ar
my. It is cowardly to skulk around home
when my country needs my services. I
hope the Lord will take care of you. I
can’t. ” —Atlanta Constitution.
