Offices: Corner Second and Cherry Streets: An Official Crime. Whether th* government knows it or uot or whether it cares, a crime is being committed In allowing the four regiments of I nited States volunteers recruited in the South to march into fever-ridden San tiago on the idea that they are immune to thi- and other di manes peculiar to tropical climates. Il is a notorious fact that not the slight , effort ’ 1 •" ' ll made U> .-•■cure “im- timm for these regiments; at least thi 4 ha- b» * n true of the regiment recruited aJ dl.i'on, ami we preeume the same methods prevailed elsewhere. In fact, It is not even likely that the term ‘’immune” in the bill . authorizing these regiments was meant seriously. “'As far as practicable,” said the bill, ami this, to the recruiting officers, meant if an immune offered himself he would not l»e rejected on that account. Though we do not believe the I’hird regi on nt has had such an opportunity. Tins would In all right if the so-called •'immune" regiments were to tie treated us other volunteer regiments sent .wherever necessary, but with a lull un derstanding of the fact that they are in no sense Immunes. The war department however, prefers to take these regiments Keriou-ly, ami (proceed on the idea that these forty five hundred Southern troops are really "immune from the diseases pe culiar to tropical climates." They are to the rushed into Santiago on the Idea, seem ingly, that their health will actually im prove by being brought into contact with tin* yellow fever germ. Hardened regulars who have been stricken by the thousands are to be brought away, before Shafter’s entire army succumbs to Yellow Jack, and th* se forty five hundred green Southern troops, recruited from the stores and the farms, without the experience and train ing necessary to health in the army, are to be rushed in victims of either official error or official duplicity. it uni!. p< i h.ups, be difficult to tlx the i * Hpou. übilit y foe this “fraud” which has Iff . ''J upon the country; 'but fraud it is, anif a e shall say it has deceived mi on** It it n.is 4* ivt'd no one. then the war department is practicing a fraud and committing a crime In sending these regi ments to Santiago under the pretext that they are Immune from yellow fever and the other diseases now 'prevailing there. .A wrong was committed In the first place, however, by the commanding officer of these regiments (eager to raise his quota land get to the front with the first) giving it out that unlimited license was to be al lowed and encouraging the recruiting of anything and anybody—except an immune. Hut the strange part is that the war department should try to keep up the de ception. even to the extent of sacrificing these troops on the attar of their own folly For a sacrifice it will be without even the opportunity for glory which spurs the soldier on and steels him to every hard ship and every damger. Because they are called "immunes” though knowing the term to be meaningless as thus applied— they are to be driven like sheep to the •daughter. For the next two months they ■are confronted by the most apalllng epi demic that ever prevailed, ipossibly even in (’uba. Five thousand men out of an eiiiny of less than 15.000 are, according to official reports, down with fever. Scores of these an* dying daily. So horrible are the conditions prevailing at Santiago that the commanding officers in charge have entered a vigorous protest at being keq>t ■there. \s a result of this protest they are to 'be brought away before they are all dead. an*l tour regiments of “immunes” •ire to he put in their places. At the same rate of sickness, over three thousand of these “immune*” will be stricken with fever almost at once, and it Is not likely that one will escape the dis ease before the end of the rainy season. (How many of them will survive, no one knows, but it cannot be many. " e get a fair idea of what confronts them when we apply the health conditions •it Santiago to Macon. At the same ratio, if over 25,000 of Macon’s citizens were lying Hl with fever and if several hundred were being carted to the cemetery every day. a man would be taking his life into his own hand to enter this town. it. as Roosevelt says, there were anv necessity for this sacrifice at Santiago there would be no complaint. 'Rut human ity protests at this needless waste of lives. Pineapple Richness. Nowhere on the globe do pineapples Shrive as in Eastern Cuba, where the con ditions of soil and climate bring the golden apples of Hesperides” to absolute perfection, yet the pineapple industry has never had much attention in that section Here is another chance for the enter prising Yankee. A tract of unoccupied land extending as far as one can see. may 'e bought for a few dollars and turned into a fruit farm, the virgin soil of un paralleled richness, being capable of pro dueing every tropical growth. Shipping facilities are already established at Bar acoa and several small ports, and if the land touches the Yumiri or some other nver so much the better for its owner. I ntil one has seen the golden glorv of a Pineapple plantation he can think of no more attractive sight than a sugar cane Acid, glistening pale yellow under the tor rid sun and billowing in the gentle breeze like a. windswept sea. But even more Ta cna .mg is a field Os Pines, each great apple guarded by a circle of glittering sharp-edged bayonets. In Florida the pine apple leaf is sharply serrated that the thought of getting around among them suggests a field of torture. Evolution tseems to have progressed farther in Cuba, for on the older and more carefully culti vated plantations the sawteeth that edge the long.pointed leaves have mainlv dis appeared. Before the war it was the sight of a life time io go out to Marianao. a suburb of Hat ana. and there drive through an estate which had 80.000 pineapple plants in full bearing. Over in Nassau they call the pineapple plantations "groves” and “or chards," as if they were trees. Whether groves or fields, the plant is about the same, producing one of the most lucious and popular fruits known to man, for which there is constant and ample de mand. Like most things worth having in this troubled life, the golden “pines” are »ot easy to get at. A very short stroll among the stinging leaves will lead you to sympathize with the New Yorker, who, after a visit to Ma rianao, said: “You do not mind the first 8.000 or 3,000 sticks and prods from the needle points of the bayonet leaves as vou cross a field, but after awhile your tor tured cutis can endure no more and your remarks about the pineapple crop are like ly <fo be prejudiced by present soreness. How much nicer it would be if the ’apples’ really did grow 4n ‘orchards,’ and you could send a colored boy up the trees to shake down a few, and thenWou could sit down in the shade and eat %m,” The News’ New Home. As was announced yesterday. The News will occupy almost at once one of the handsomest newspaper buildings in the state, having leased for a term of five years the News building, 412 Cherry street, owned by Capt. R. E. Park. The News, as will be remembered. oc cupied this building some years ago, and it has been the constant purpose of the present management to get back home at the earliest opportunity. After four years of patient waiting and toiling to be able to carry out these plans, the time has come when the News can occupy such a building as it has desired. It is the most important advance made by the News since it purchased a battery of linotype machines and adopted modern methods of producing a newspaper. The building soon to be occupied by the News gives us an opportunity to make certain improvements to the plant and in every way increase our facilities to give Macon a first-class, up-to-date afternoon newspaper. The News’ constant effort is in the line of progress. Since the paper passed under its present management it has never been allowed to stand still. One improvement has followed another, until now the News outclasses any Southern afternoon paper published in a city of Macon’s size. It is not the equal of afternoon papers publish ed in cities like Louisville, Memphis or Atlanta, but it can be and will be if ac corded half the patronage that is accorded those papers. In one respect, however, the News will equal and even eclipse them—in the char acter of Its home. For no afternoon news paper in the South occupies handsomer quarters than will be occupied by the News within the next few weeks. With this improvement others will come until the News is second in no respect to any Southern afternoon daily. Soldiers Need Good Eves. . Whatever their other qualifications tor kilistment may be, no man with defec tive vision can pass muster at a United States recruiting office. Keen-sighted re cruits men with “eagle-eyes” are wanted. While it is true that more men are now rejected at the recruiting stations for de fective eyesight than for any other physi cal defect, it is well remembered that dur ing the civil war the prime requisite, out side of a robust constitution, was good teeth. There was good ground for this require ment. In those days implements of war fare were far below the standard of today. Repeating rifles were unheard of then. Muskets did good service, but the weilders of the weapon had to be fortified with solid biscupids and molars with which to bite the home-made cartridges. But in these days the eye seems tobe the barrier between a soldier’s duty and life at home. In recruiting for the vol unteer regiments the same oare is taken as in recruiting for the regular army. Uncle Sam wants soldiers, but he insists uixm having the very best stock. False teeth are no absolute barrier to becoming a soldier. It is significant that the men from the country who apply at the recruiting sta tions have not only better eys, but better constitutions, than those who apply from the city. Poor sight is rarely found among ■the rural applicants, while those from the city will show one in five or six affflietel. The regular army finds its best men from the country, and the same is true of the volunteer army. "Had to the Americans!” The cordial reception of the Star Spangledßanner in Puerto Rico is one of the pleasurable surprises of the war, ob serves the Cincinnati Post. The entire populace of Ponce (the sec ond city in the island) turned out to wel come our boys in blue. And it was a gen uine Spanish welcome—a commingling of ornate ceremony with inspiriting enthu siasm. In contemplating the picture the reader must not lose sight of the fact that the Puerto Ricans fully realize that this in vasions means the subjection of the island. For a time it looked as though General Miles’ march would be a triumphant pro cession across the "land of perpetual spring.” Doubtless General Miles’ proclamation contributed a great deal to this gratifying spectacle. He told the Puerto Ricans that the “American people came bearing the banners of freedom, inspired by a noble purpose to seek the enemies of our gov ernment and of yours, and to destroy or capture all armed resistance.” A conquest such as this makes the brightest page in a country’s history. Here is the way a Puerto Rican mayor ended his proclamation: “Citizens: Long live the government of the United States of America! Hail to their valiant troops! Hail Puerto Rico, al ways American! El Alcalde, Francisco Magia, Yauco, Puer to Rico, United States of America. Ten to one that Magia is a sensible fel low. That he is a good politician is self evident. This ought to recommend him for American citizenship. I candidly confess that I have ever looked upon Cuba as the most interesting addition that could ever be made to our system of states.—Thomas Jefferson to President Monroe in 1823. The West has been in it during the war —the Oregon and Olympia were both built in San Francisco. There should be no difficulty in Uncle Sam making peace just as successfully as ■he made war. As a proclamation writer General Miles seems to be right at the head of the column. OA.J3TOTI.XA.. Bears .the Iha K ind You Have Always Bought Injections of Perfumes. Would you like to give out a perfume like the body of one who died in the odor of sanctity! 1 Nothing is easier. If you want to smell like violets, make a sub cutaneous injection of essence of these flowiw. You can vaxy your perfumed es sence as you please. The perfume is scarce ly noticeable unless one gets warm. This mode of scenting one’s person was discov ered accidentally. A morphine maniac was called sudden ly to Russia. She had not time to lay in a provision of her favorite drug, but a complacent doctor promised to send it aft er her. He did so. But the Russian cus tom house would not let it pass. The pa ternal government of Russia forbids the importation of morphine unless by chem ists. The morphine maniac as a substi tute tried essence of violets. She remem bered that an infusion of violets is sopo rific. She made her subcutaneous injection with a Pravaz syringe.

About one month ago my child, which is fifteen months old, had an attack of diar rhoea accompanied by vomiting. I gave it such remedies as are usually given in such eh.ses, but as nothing gave relief we sent for a physician and it was under his care for a week. 'At this time the child had been sick for about ten days and was hav ing about twenty-five operations of the bowels every twelve hours, and we were convinced that unless it soon obtained re lief it would not live. Chamberlain,s Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was rec ommended and I decided to try it. I soon noticed a change for the better; by its continued use complete cure was brought about and it is now perfectly healthy.—C. L. Boggs, Stumptown, Gilmer County, W. Va. For sale by H. J.

Weak industries receive bounties. Lines of steamers are heavily subsidized to entry Gel man exports to all parts of the world. The state railways are authorized to make special rates for the oversea trade. German diplomatic, agents abroad exercise pressure in favor of Ger man merchants. German commercial houses are planted in every’ important for eign port, and even where they represent foreign firms they keep a benevolent eye upon the produce.of their own country. In the conduct of private undertakings money is not grudged either for practical experiment of tor research. Manufactur ers submit to sacrifices inorder to force an entry into foreign markets and recoup themselves with tlie aid of protective du ties at home. The whole commercial pol icy of the country is directed toward the encouragement and extension of foreign trade. Such assistance and encouragement, given to a population as laborious and well endowed as the German people, have produced the results which we arc begin ning to see. Germans are übiquitous.
