Speaking tor myetif, am! voic ing, I believe, the Chamber of Commerce, I wish you abund ant ttuocesa in your laudabha undertaking. it. M. ROGERS, Tree Chamber of Commence. A Sensible View. The Washington Post has an editorial on this subject, which we endorse fully. It is as follows "We wish to say that we are in the full sympathy with those volunteers, who now. the war being over and the Question of defending the country and the flag being retired, ask for the privilege of electing to remain in the army or return to private lite. They are clearly entitled 'to this right of choice—not legally, per haps. but morally without doubt. They volunteered it the country's call, accept ing every condition ot the bond, and of course 'they cannot demand as a peroga 'tive 'the option of receding. But the fact remains that, thousands of them abandoned remunerative civic occupations and excel lent business opportunities under the stimulus of unselfish patriotism, and It is not to be denied that they are entitled to special consideration on that account. "it is difficult to perceive the force of the argument, that since the country needs a larger standing army, these par ticular men should be held to their con tract for a term of years. The real Ques tion is whether the required force can not be recruited without calling upon in lividuals who have more pressing claims upon them and whose places can be quite as satisfactorily filled by others. A large proportion of these volunteers are so situ ated. from a domestic and commercial point of view that their retention in the military service will operate a serious sacrifice and hardship. They are not the material of which regular soldiers are made. They possess qualifications and are burdened with duties which call them to a different and higher sphere. And. quite as inijh>riant, they are in a position where enforced service tn the army will reduce them to discontent, if not despair. If the country were poor tn military material the question would take on a very different color The truth Is, how ever. that we can readily recruit an army of 100,000 or 200,000 men withou drawing upon classes that have a more useful and more profitable alternative. It seems to us that the government can well afford to leave the volunteers free to speak for themeelves tn this matter. It will be bet ter for the army and better for the na tion.” An Unsavorv Contrast. The evidences of dereliction, stupidity and criminal negligence in the conduct of the Santiago campaign, so far as pertains to the commissary and medical depart ments and the general health and well being of the men. are multiplying on every hand Indignation has found a tongue. Reti cent is replaced by revelation. The dis closures are snocklng. Even though the exalted heads of cabi net officials may drop into the basket, the ruth, the whole truth, must and shall oub. Contrast the brutal neglect displayed on eitry hand with regard to our own soldiers with the care, attention and solicitude exhibited toward the Spanish prisoners now at Seavey's jsland, near rorumouth N. H The sentiment of magnanimity is all right tn its way, but it does not go far enough Our sacred obligation is 'to take care of our own sick, wounded and debilieted. Tills 'ountry is grand enough, richenough, humane enough to take care of our owe brave boys, as well as the men they van quished. The derelicts must be ferreted out. even thougn ■■■<? search shall lead into the cabl n i chamber of President McKinley Bibb County Taxes. No xruuty in Georgia can make a more lamentable showing in the matter of tax returns than can Bibb county. It Is. of course no fault on the part of the tax re ceiver Capt. R j. Anderson, who is one of the b st men ln Georgia, as well as beig a mos: efficient official. The .trouble » with the laws and with the people Themselvus The chances ar e that the county commissioners of Bibb county will e obliged to name a higher rate for the coming year a course necessity, so far as they are concerned, which wll mitigate *orely against this city where the taxes are already too high. The oooner some k? elation is enacted that will relieve the honest taxpayer from the burden put upon him by the dishonest property owner the better for Bibb. It now looks as if this «™ty 1S destined to have another eej bacK on account of high taxes. Innumer able cases might be cited from the tax books to show the utter futility and poor business sense of allowing property own ers to put their own valuation on prop erty. and the loss resulting from the neg ligence of the law in enforcing the col leolioa ot Just taxes on personal property. ißuild a New Bridge., When a city can build nothing etee it j can build a bridge. The law gives any old corporation with any credit at all i the opportunity to build a bridge when it i Is necessary. The people of East Macon are of the opinion that new bridge is ! necessary at the foot of Fifth street and a vest majority of the people on thia aide | of the river agree with them The city i should build a new superstructure on the 1 old bridge and it must do It without delay. The business men of East Macon have presented the matter to -council over and over again and a little more than a . year ago the city engineer said that he had made an inspection and that the I bridge would only last a year. It is now 1 more than a year since that expert judg men was passed and the bridge is now . pronounced unsafe Traffic has teen stopped and’he business ■ interests of the people of East Macon are suffering It is not a matterof surprises that our 1 friends on the other aide of the river are I angry. They have good cause for it and I the only reparation that council can make j is to build the new bridge. Other items j of expense which are of lee® importance i can be allowed to stand while the property I and business interests of East Macoa, at j well as the comfort and accommodation | of her citizens are being given the atten tion they properly demand. The Cost ot the War. Now that the war is over some persons would like to know how many bullets were fired during the conflict, but since that cannot be ascertained, it is striking enough to consider that 277,000 men, now composing the army of the United States, carry in their cartridge belts more than 27,000,000 rifle balls. At all events they would carry that many if all of them were armed with the new magazine rifle com monly known as the Krag-Jorgensen. 100 cartridges being allowed to each man. Before long all of Uncle Sam’s soldiers will be provided with this weapon, instead of the “archaic" Springfield. Thus equipped, the 277,000 men now en listed, would carry 32.372 tons of bullets at their waists, and this makes reckoning of only the leaden balls and not of the cartridges containing them. Each of the cartridges is a bit over three inches long, and If all of those contained in the belts of the soldiers were placed end to end they would stretch 1,366 miles. Just think of the destructive power represented by that line of cartridges. The barrel of one of these regulation rules Is 30 inches long. If all of them — the 277,000 —were placed end to end, so as to make a continuous tube, the latter would extend 131 miles, or just about the distance from Washington to Philadelphia. Each soldier’s uniform, with cape over coat. requires Id 14 square yards of mate rial. Hence it appears that the cloth used for making war costumes for the 277.000 men in the army, if spread out, would cover just about 644 acres, or a little over a square mile. At $18.65 a suit an outfit of uniforms for all the troops of the United States costs the government $5,166,050, enough to build, furnish and arm the big gest and finest kind of battleship, such as the Oregon. Most of the volunteers In the war have received only one blanket apiece from Un cle Bam. though the usual allowance Is two. These blankets are of exceptionally fine materia) costing $3.33 apiece. To provide every man in the army with one means an expense of $922,410, and these 277,000 blankets would cover 244 acres of ground. They are seven feet long by live and one-half feet wide, and It is agreed by ■both officers and men in the service that better poker can be played on them than on any other kind of a cloth. To make an army shirt of flannel re quires three square yards of stuff, and the government pays $ 1.95 for the finished gar ment. Thus it is easily calculated that such shirts for all the troops would come to a total of $540,000, and the material for them would spread over 172 acres. More interesting Is the fact that 34,625 calves would be required to furnish leather for the shoes of al! the regiments. The rub ber cloaks for the army, called "ponchos” would cost $390,670, and would cover 143 acres Each two soldiers have a tent (between them, one carrying the right half and the other the left half. Such a tent costs $3.97 complete, with the jointed pole, etc., the total expense of sheltering the entire army under canvas being $549,845. Spread out the canvas needed and it would cover 272 acres, each half tent having 4% yards of material An ordinary canteen holds two quarts. With all these receptacles filled, the pres ent army of 277,000 men carries 3.644 hogshead of water This, in fact, is about equivalent to the dally requirement of water for the troops. The quantity would last one man more than 760 years. Each man has a tin cup that holds a pint and a half. If all of them were filled thej’ would contain 2.733 hogsheads. >But soldiers are thirsty people and their belt capacity is wonderful. Forty-nine inches long, by the way, fe the average cartridge belt, and 277,000 of them put end to end would stretch 214 miles. Croker's Insult, That notorious combination for spoils, Tammany, which holds political control of the metropolis of the United States, 1s evidently preparing to make another effort to become a power in national politics. John Kelly tried it when he was in the zenith of his power. He went to the nation al convention of 1894,with a following like an army with banners, to crush Grover Cleveland. The subsequent events kept Tammany in the back seats from that day to this. Mr. Richard Croker, its leader. Is am bitious to try at again. And Tammany has, under his orders, given a war-whoop nominating Admiral Dewey for president in 1900. This is an insult to the hero ot Manila. There is nothing In his career so star ■which would lead anyone to suppose for an instant that he would demean himself by becoming a tool of Tammany, to aid and abet its infamous schemes. Besides, Admiral Dewey is a Republican and has always been one. Tammany is a camp follower of Democracy. If Dewey ever aspires to a political career, we may be sure he will ask preferment of hie own party, and not go into the Democratic camp to accept the support of the Tam many organization, which keeps up its corruption fund by levying blackmail up on saloons, degraded women and the criminals of New York city. Cotton. The Columbia State is alarmed at the cotton prospect. It gives these reasons: At the beginning of the cotton season last year cotton ruled at cents tn New York and without any suspicion that the crop would reach an enormous total of 11,000,- 000 bales it declined over 3 cents per pound before November 1. Cotton Is now quoted in New York at 5% cents, with an esti mated surplus on hand of 1,500.000 bales. This is to be supplemented by a crop of equal of greater volume than last year, for Neill’s estimate ranges from a minimum of 10.500.000 to a maximum of 12,000.000 bales. Should this enormous crop be thrown upon a market already glutted by over supply, the bottom would drop out. It would be bard to predict how low prices would be fixed, it is not improbable for it io touch 4 cents. There is no telling what the price of cotton may be later on, but it is unde niable that the present outlook is the re verse of bullish. The remedy proposed by our Columbia contemporary is to assemble the Cotton Growers' Union and try to carry out the Youmans plan of enabling the planters to hold their erop. It is shown that such action would insure at least 6 cents net for every pound of cotton regu lated by It. The difference between 4 cents | and 6 cents on a crop of 10.060,666 bales would be $100,000,000. a stake sufficient to interest the entire South. The scheme is a fascinating one on Paper, but we apprehend that it would not work practically. As the standard dollar goes up commodities go down. We must have free coinage. The Macon Telegraph is trying to shove ) Uself into a discussion ot Democratic doc- I Lme with Democratic newspapers, be- j fIJBL K'*l3 WinG POWDER, Absolutely Pure cause some newspapers have been foolish enough to believe that the Telegraph con tained a correct report of Col. Allen Can dler’s speech at Milledgeville. The Tele graph had Candler down as saying that in his opinion. “Silver Is not a cardinal doctrine of the Democratic party.” Well what if Col. Candler did say these very words what difference does It make. Does it make the Telegraph a Democrat or will it have any effect on the Democratic plat form? The remarkable thing about Col. Candler s speech is that the Telegraph’s report of it was correct. Macon .is making Immense preparations for the celebration of 'her Diamond Jubi lee on October 11-14.
