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. AN ENTER PUIXJ NG DRUGGIST. There are few men more wide 1 awake and enterprising than H. J.

GENERAL SHAFTER Is a Regular Army Officer and Not a Volun teer. 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 the First United States Infantry. He was made brigadier two years ago and when the iwar between the United States and Spain began he was made major gen eral and was. placed in charge of the army of invasion. A OLBVER TRICK.

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 tlie rest of the meeting. <35 .Zk. 8 T O IT T A .

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. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought 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.

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. i'l ■g /S WHh > 1 TOwtefe Everybody ought te about the impor \ tance of pure blood, and to purify tainted blood.
