EXPRESS COMPANY
MUST PM UK,
Commission Has Decided Ihat
the Shipper Mvst Pav
Tax.
WESTERN UNION WINS
But the Decison Has Gone Against
the Others and the Merchants
Are Satisfied,
Atlanta, \uguat 3—The State Railroad
f’ommbdon decides that the express com
panies most furnish the stamp which the
government required to he affixed to all
packages before they are shipped.
In <a-es of telegrams, the commission
decldi s that the sender must furnish the
stamp which goes on the original message,
and it further holds that the telegraph
companies should affix a stamp to the copy
of the message before it is delivered to
the party addressed .Ju other words, every
tele gram sent alls for two stamps, one to
be paid for and affixed by the sender and
the other to be paid for and affixed by the
telegraph companies delivering the mes
sage.
The la-t construction of the law is en
tirely m w Nobody has ever suggested
that, so far as is known It is Judge Spen
cer Mkin.xon's Idea and he quotes the
revenue u t to sustain his position. As he
vli\ws the law, the government is losing
an immense revenue eve ry day by not re
quiring the telegraph companies to stamp
the messages before delivery.
Hon !•’ G dußignou. counsel for the
Southern Express Company, stated yester
day that the commission’s decision, if en
forced, will cost his company $60,000 in the*
state of Georgia alone in one year's busi
ness It will cost the Southern Express
Company for its entire business probably
<500,000 a year and if this construction of
the law is enforced by the courts all over
t lie country, it will cost the several com
panies which are engaged in the express
business in the l ulled States $3,000,000 a
yc ar.
The commission gives the express •om
pany five days in which to decide what
it will do It wants to appeal to the courts
if. of course, it can do so, but nhe s! tte com
mission proposes to have it assume the
expense for the stamps while the casts are
being tested In the courts If the express
company decide s to pay for the stamp it
self and add one cent to the charge for
tarrying each package the commission will
take up that question of the increased rate
at a later day and examine into it.
The opinion of the commission in the
telegraph company can. Is bound to at
tract a great deal of attention all over the
country Internal Revenue Commissioner
Scott, at Washington, has ruled that the
telegraph f-ompariies are exempt from the
expense of furnishing the stamp for each
jnes-age He lias never given a decision
on the point raised by Judge Atkin-on It
is no concern of the Georgia railroad coni
mission whether the government collects
the re venue from the l telegraph companies
for the me ssages delivered, but t * sug
gestlon Is give n to It that it is missing a
vast sum of money by not ex
acting payment on every message
delivered Hlere In Atlanta the
Western Union alone l receives about
2.000 mssage s i lev and sends as many
The tax paid i>y the senders amounts to
S2O per day mid if the company had to put
a war tax stamp on every me ssage deliv
ere d here, it would have a stamp bill
amounting to S2O daily in this city. For
she entire country, the amount would he
$2.!,00 a day at tlie least, and it might run
io Sic.poo for this one l company.
After the attorneys forth Southern
Express and West. rn Union Telegraph
A’ompanies made l their arguments last week
and the week before the eases were re
ferred by Commissioners Trammel! and
Crenshaw to Commissioner Atkinson for a
legal opinion on the law Yesterday he
submitted his opinion In each case and af
ter It was read the board voic'd to require
the express company to furnish the stamp
for packages and exempting the telegraph
companies furnishing stamps for messages.
As stated above, the commission's order
is held up for live days as to the express
company.
The Postal Telegraph Company relied
on Mi". Scott s decision and the commission
rules In regard to it just as it does in re
gard to the Western Union.

GENERAL SHAFTER

There has been much discussion for
some time among the people of LMacon as
to whether Major General Shafter, was
j regular officer or a volunteer. It is claim
ed by many that he is a volunteer and that
> the government acted foolishly in placing
I him in command as he was a green man.
Others say that he is a regular officer
who has been in the army for years. The
subject has been discussed much ami
the government has been roasted by the
people, who think that Shafter is a volun-
General Shafter is a regular army of
ficer. He was captain in the civil war and
for twenty-five years he was colonel of

ENDORSED
NICARAUGA
At the Regular Meeting of
the Chamber of Com
merce Yesterdav.
The regular meeting of the “Chamber of
Commerce was held yesterday afternoon.
Among other things the meeting endorsed
the building of the Nicaragua canal and
adopted resolutons urging that the work
be commenced at onee. This was done on
the ground that the South will be the
greatest beneficiary by the canal. An ef
fort will be made by the Chamber to in
duce the railroads to run a train direct
from Gordon in order to give Macon the
benefit of that local trade. The schedule
as It now runs is so inconvenient that the
people living in that section are n.ot able
to transact their business in Macon. The
Chamber also endorsed the proposition
made by the IHardwootl factory firm to
locate a factory in Macon. The factory I
has asked council to grant them a lease
on tlie main building at Central City park
for tlie location of their plant and t.hej’
also ask that the citizens of /Macon sub
scribe the sum of $5,000 to the enterprise.
The subscriptions are not to become avail
able. however, until it is shown that the
factory is earning 10 per sent net on the
total investment. This would represent
a 10 per cent dividend on an investment
of a SIOO,OOO. Routine business took up

WAR’S EFFECT
ON POLITICS.
The Elections that
Are to Be Held this Fall.
Washington, August 3. —One notable ef
fect cf the war excitement has been to take
all the interest out of the political contests
which come this fall. It is of course natu
i ral that this should ba so, for with war on
I there is no counter attraction that has a
chance with the masses of the people, an I
that is true now, as it has been in the- past,
■ despite the fact that among the contents
of this year are a number that would, in
ordinary times, be much in the public eye.
Governors are to be elected in a large
I number of states and in many more it is
the year for the election of the. legislatures,
whrzse make-up has a national interest
from the fact that it falls to their lot to
chose members of the United States sen
ate. The only states which do not have an
| election this fall are Illinois, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina,
j Utah. Virginia. AA’akhington and West Vir-
J ginia. Os course these states, like all oth-
I ers, elect mc-mbers of congress, but there
' are no state contests.
Arkansas has her state elections on Oc
| tober sth, Vermont on September 6th,.
: and Maine on September 12th.
j Governors are to be elected in Arkansas,
| California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia,
Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Ne
braska, .Nevada, Nyw Hampshire, North
Dakota. South Dakota, South Caroline,
Tennessee, Texas, Wyoming, and AViscon
sin.
Most of these elections occur at the
same time as the congressional elections
in November. The tendency toward con
, soildation of elections ha«> grown rapidly
I and it seems likely that the time is not far
distant when there will be complete con
solidation al along the line.
It is too early to say what will be the re
sult of the elections in those states where
there is uncertainty and where real con
tests follow as a natural consequence.
There is no question that the Republicans
have worked the war to their own advant
age in every possible particular, ami it has
been the experience of the past that a war
helps the party in power. If there ever
has been one where every movement has
been made with the purpose of taking po
litical credit to the party in power, it is
this one, and as it looks now, the Republi
cans have lost no tricks. Were the elec
tion to occur today, “there would be little
doubt of Republican victories in almost all
of the doubtful districts, and that would
mean gains in the house of representatives.

TWO SAD DEATHS.
Occurred in Augusta Yesterday- Overdose
of Medicine.
Augusta, Ga., August 3. —.•.ugusta had
two sad deaths yesterday, and both of
young men who had come from the west
ami made Augusta their home.
Mr. Charles B. Reavis, auditor of tin?
Augusta Electric Railway Company, wa.l
brought here by Colonel D. B. Dyer, from,
Kansas City, six years ago, and he became
a popular citizen.
In Friday he was taken ill and yesterday
morning died at t'he city hospital of acute
kidney troubles.
Mr. Reavis was thirty-six years o.d and
the picture of health and strength. His
sudden death is a shock to the entire com
munity.
Another sad death is that of Mr. Carroil
Critchlow. He and his brother, AV. G.
Critchlow, are well known in bicycle cir
cles. The latter rode in Atlanta’s last road
rac j , anti both rode at Macon and at Mil
ledgevd’e. Besidestf being expert riders,
they are expert machims's. and both were
employed in the bicycle shops of Thomas
& Bar lon.
Monday Carroll Critchlo v complained of
feeling bad, and went to his room. He
took quinine and laudanum alternately in
small doses, and it is supposed that the
accumulated laudanum in his system from
doses repeated too often overcame him, or
els during the nigh nodaitti«Autheser(m.R
else during the night in a dozing condition
he reached for the medicine, which was
at his bedside, and took an overdose by ac
cident. About daylight his brother was
aroused by his stertorous breathing, and
found him unconscious. A doctor was sum
moned and every effort made to resusci
tate him, but in yain. He died in a few
hours.
American Colleges.
In view of the assertion recently made
by the Spanish newspapers to the effect
that “there are no colleges In America,’’
it is interesting to know that we have 430
nnixersities and colleges. 8,472 professor?

MACON NEWS WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 3 1898.
ANOTHER MYTH EXPLODED. ■
Von Moltke’s Conqaeat of France Did Not
Lie In a Bureau Drawer.
That fine old lie about Von Moltke hav
ing the defeat of Fnince all arranged on j
paper in his desk so completely worked j
out that the German commanders had only ;
to be supplied with copies and Sedan and ’
Metz were the consequences is going the
rounds of the press with brilliant varia
tions. The latest variation is that Von
Moltke was awakened from a sound sleep
$o be told that France had declared war,
that he instructed the aid to go to cabinet I
A and take from drawer 23 a paper mark
ed schedule Z and resumed his slumber. |
Inasmuch as the Prussian embassador left '
Paris several days before the declaration
of war by France and as the order for
mobilizing went out from Berlin while
public peace was yet maintained, there was
no need to break Von Moltke’s slumber
to tell him what he knew in daylight.
France decided on war July 15, but the
formal notification to that effect was not
sent to the nearest Prussian outposts un
til four days later. Neither Bismarck,
Von Roon nor Von Moltke was caught
napping either literally or metaphorically.
On the contrary, they were arranging
even before France voted its fateful decla
ration to make war Inevitable. France de
clared war, but it was Bismarck who
forced her to do it, and both Von Moltke
and Von Roon wore In the game from
which the king of Prussia was excluded,
for he was not let into it until it was too
late for him to undo what they had done.
Nor did Von Moltke issue orders at the
outset which madu Sedan inevitable. The
most he did, as he tells us himself, was to
make plans in advance against every con
ceivable hypothesis of French invasion of
Germany. The first position he took up
was that of observation in order that
France might not by a sudden rush sepa
rate north and south Germany.
When he found tlie French were unequal
to invading Germany, he turned the tables
on them. He could not foresee Sedan at
the outset of the war. for the simple reason
that he could not foresee that MacMahon
would let go his hold on the road to Paris
and start off on that attempt to relieve
Metz which ended at Sedan. Von Moltke
candidly admits in his books on the war
that he was puzzled by the French move
ments because they were so obviously
wrong as to awaken his suspicion, and
that he was at fault in not pushing
straight through the Vosges, whose passes
the French did not even attempt to de
fend. He did not anticipate that these
gateways would bo left unguarded and
lost time in working around the moun
tains in consequence.
Von Moltke’s books are those of a frank
man who tells what he did. Possibly if
they were read more some of those who
arc forever comparing our operations with
those of Germany in 1870 would know
better than fio set up the great strategist
as performing impossibilities. Von Moltke
himself found it hard to stamp out all the
absurd variations of his achievements that
became current in Germany. He was
once, as be has told us, Invited to a private
view of a picture representing the council
of war before Sadowa, in which he was
grouped with other historical personages.
He complimented the painter on his skill
and dryly added that the picture was ef
fective despite the fact that no such coun
cil was held.—Boston Transcript.
