All the heavy cannonading once heard oil the New England coast and Mole St. Nicholas now comes from the direction of ihat dreadful Mt. Vesuvius. When prize lighters fall out the public gets its due. The coming together of Cor bett and McCoy in New York has led to the discovery that secret articles dividing the purse were signed by the fighters. Uncle Russell Sage insisted that the puts and calls he indulged in were not subject to the war tax, because they were “privi leg* s” to buy or sell. 'He finds now that they are also privileges to pay a tax. Houston Home Journal: The large num in r of Georgia farmers who will attend the M icon Jubilee next week will contradict theme-selves. Those who are “dead broke” can’t afford to .participate in the Jubilee. The Jacksonville Times-Union says: .And n w we are told that Sherman never said “War is hell,” but -Charles Summer did. But practice is more forcible than talk, anti Georgians will always credit Sherman with both. Atlanta claims to have gotten the big cam]>, while Macon. Augusta, Columbus, ,\tl ns, Albany, and Americus have been awarded smatterings of troops. There is only one Atlanta and we have her. Sa vannah Press. The idea of catching prawn on New Castle street never occurred to the most ardent -fisherman, but on Monday a little darkey playing with a hand net in a pud ch , captured a large prawn on this busy thoroughfare.— -Brunswick Times. Spain seems to be relying upon the hope that seme of her -big European brothers will interfere in its behalf in its negotia tions with the -United States, but she will find that these big brothers have a very wholesome respect for Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam is going to quarter his sol diers during the cold weather in some of the pleasantest winter resorts in the coun try. The climate that is good for weak lunged visitors from the North will make the sturdy soldiers all the more brawny and vigorous.—Savannah News. Yatesville Enterprise: Most all of the newspapers in Georgia are talking for the Carnival to be held in Macon soon. Macon is a fine city and no doubt her people ..will succeed with the great show. Pain’s fire works will be the attraction of the day. ,It will -be a great thing for the Central City and we wish her success. The Savannah Morning News says that Colonel Ray has never claimed that the men of his regiment were "immunes” from hunger and the ill effects of a la;\ of proper food. If the Third regiment needs fresh beef, it should have it, -by the ship load, if necessary. The government lias got the beeves, it has got the ships, and it has got the money, Joo. Give the boys steak. The New York World thinks that Judge Van Wyck’s nomination was an omen of victory. Os him ft says: ‘“Judge Van Wyck meets in a satisfactory way the three requirements of ‘character, capacity and courage.’ His service, of fourteen years on the bench has expanded his knowledge of law. of government aigl of human nature. It has developed also the qualities of sober judgment, judicial fair ness and intellectual independence that are so essential in a governor—and so of o.en lacking!” One broad-minded and determined citi zen is worth a thousand times more to a town than a carload of the sort whose time is spent principally in wearing out the seats of their pants and making light of every new movement. The man who does nothing for his community further than to .pay his taxes may be entitled to police protection, but he is certainly not entitled to any of the benefits of increased com merce, and if his -property increases in value because of the efforts of his neigh bors he gets that much which is not right fully his own.—Colboun Times. Theodore S. Woolsey, professor of inter national law. at Yale, was interviewed on the question whether the V Q ited States has the right to set up a military government in the Spanish colonies and how far such rights carry their privileges. “The whole question is in abeyance at present, await ing the result of the commission’s action at Paris. At the present time our rights are only those under the protocol and by virtue of military conquests. The protocol is really a treaty of peace, but is not defi nite and does not touch upon the details. It remains for the ePace Commission to extend and expand the -protocol into .a treaty cf peace. At present our rights are those of the conqueror, but extend no further, and are not defined or limited by mutual agreement between the two Na tions. Any just estimate or decision on the matter of rights in the case must be jMistponed until the Peace Commission de cides upon the case in hand.” Mayor-Elect Woodward. The mayor-eket of Atlanta was yester day a: work in bis office as mailing clerk of the Atlanta Journal. The election of Mr. James Woodward to the highest office rn the gift of the people of Atlanta is a refreshing illustration of the*power of the plain people at the ballot box. From it the people cf Atlanta and the people of the whole state can draw their own conclu sions. Mr. Woodward represents the working men of this country. He is of the people and from the people—a plain working man, proud of his calling and proud of hie labor. He represents-the bone and sinew as well as the brain of the Gate City, and his elec tion will do more to elevate Atlanta in the eyes of the people of the state than any one thihg that has been done by that city In the whole course of its history. The election cf Mr. Woodward will free Atlanta from the charge of snobbery that terne of us have been, inclined to lay at its doors. He is, we understand, a man cf considerable means, but he has accumula ted his money by hard work and careful business methods and strict adherence to the law’s of honesty, and he has none of the mistaken social aspirations that go to make up the unfortunate nouveaux riche and monied aristocracy of the cities of this country. Woodward was elected on his merits. He was elected by a vote of people tired of the rule of the politicians and cf men whose ehie-f claim to populari ty and t fame was the fact that they could control votes and money. The people of Atlanta —the American men of Atlanta— have elected Woodward on his record as an honest working man. patriotic and wise, nnd free from the obligations of 'the politi cian and from the little obligations that make men slaves in the very midst or free dom. We do not doubt that Mr. Woolward will make Atlanta the best mayor she ha<s had for many a day and that under his ad ministration the whole people will receive impartial treatment and an hc-nest expendi ture of -public monies. The News congratulates Mr. Woodward and the people of Atlanta. School Statistics. In view of the special interest in the subject at this season, the Chicago Times- Herald has collected some interesting sta tistics of school matters in the United States. It appears that the total enroll ment of children abending the public school in all the states Is 14,465,371, but the average daily attendance is only 9,747,- 015. These children are sheltered in 240,- 968 school houses, the aggregate value of which is $455,948,164. An army cf 400,235 teachers is required to run these schools, 269,959 of whom are females and 130,266 are males. The entire cost of the mainte nance of all the schools of the country -is but about $40,000,000 more than the total yearly payment of the government to its pensioners, or $181,453,780. A curious comparison is made between the educational conditions of the United States and these of the rest of the world, in the fact that,while the population of this country is but one-twentieth of that of the whole world, the United States possesses one-third cf all the school children of the world. The nucleus of the public system of the United States was made in 1635, when the city of Boston opened a free school for ■lts children. In 1795 Connecticut was the first state to create a public school fund, ■though the federal government had ten years earlier devoted one thirty-sixth of the public domain of the west to the schools of the several state. Look Out for Hobson. In an article praising Lieutenant Hob son for the great skill and energy he dis played in raising and floating the -wreck of the Spanish armored cruiser Infanta Marin Teresa, which will soon- become a valuable audition to the United States navy, the Washington Times concludes by giving the young and brilliant officer a bit of advice, which, perhaps, it will be well for him to heed. The Times says: “In the satisfaction which every American must feel in consequence of Lieutenant Hobson’s triumphant salvage of the Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa it should not be forgotten that his success will bring sorrow to many a fossil beaurocratic heart. His su periors, or most of them, had shown con clusively that the thing could not be done, and bis action in doing it after that can only be called little short cf insubordinate. If the young man lives he will be made to feel this, and we earnestly exhort him to square himself by disclaiming all credit i and declaring that he floated the ship en tirely on plans issued by Sampson in a circular letter last spring.” Sick Soldiers’ Diet, “Some people,” says the Florida Times- Union. “wonder why soldiers are sick and ridicule the idea that the fault lies wkh : anyone but the regimental or company commanders, or the climate of Florida. Not many evenings since 'three convales cents arrived at the terminal station, with thirty days’ furloughs snugly tucked away in their jeans. They discovered on arriv ing at the station, that they had an hour to wait before the departure cf their train, and thi-s is the way they filled the time: A bottle of whisky 'that had been provided against the emergencies of travel was con sumed by the trio. Next a lot of pears were found and devoured. Wandering across the street they purchased a pound of soda wafers, 'and soon the contents of the package were stored away. Finally, a small negro came in sight having for sale a lot of boiled crabs. It was the work of but a moment for the sick heroes to become the owners of these delicacies, and they were soon out of sight. The train, by this time had been made up, and the soldiers entered and found their places, and during the wait before the train pulled ouuof the station one of the trio exclaimed: ‘‘l de clare, I don’t feel very well. I am glad I am going to get out of this cussed climate. It don’t agree with me a little -bit.” Gold in Africa. Gold production of the “Rand” mines in South Africa is increasing at a prodigious r£te. In the first eight months of 189 S the production was 2.697.917 ounces compared i with in the correspond’ng months last year, an increase of 807,405 ounces, or nearly 43 per Cent. Compared with the corresponding months of 1596, the increase is over SO per cent. The increase is largely due to the pro ductiveness of the deep levels now. after great expense, just coming to the crusher. Should the rate of increase be continued throughout the year, the “Rand” mines alone will produce this year 4,048 875 ounces at S2O. Last year the United States led the world with a production of ever $50,000,000. The following advertisement appears in the Portland Oregonian: Wanted —Small boy to deliver oysters, that can ride a wheel. MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING; OCTOBER 7 .09? I®, SAKIHG POWDER Absolutely Pure Supply and Demand. The Treasury Bureau of Statistics has issued a series of tables, just compiled, and published the other day in the News’ Associated Press dispatches showing the remarkable increase in cotton pro duction and coincidental fall in -price, which are cf interest at this time, when the price of cotton is at the lowest point ever reached. These tables show that rhe United States, the" chief cotton producer of the world, has quadrupled ‘its cotton pro duction since 1872, and that the price of cotton in the same period has fallen to about one-fourth that which prevailed in that year. In 1872 the cotton crop of the United States is shown to have 084/494 pounds, with an average price of 22.19 cents per pound: in 1898 the crop is reported at 5,667,372,051 pounds, with an average price of 6.23 cents per pound. Thus the production of 1898 is more than four times that of 1872 and the average price but a little over one-fourth that of that year. While Russia is pushing forward with all speed the trans-Siberian Railway and Expects to get the first locomotive through to Vladisvostok next year, she also is plan ning other important railway lines which shall develop Russia proper. This month she has floated in Berlin very successfully a $13,000,600 load to construct the Russian Southwest Railway, doubtless to open up the Caspian and Black Sea district. The Columbus (O.) Press-Post says: A contemporary quotes Mr. Hanna as having said before the war: “There will be no war —there is no for war.” Perhaps this is what Mr. Hanna meant, but it is .not what he said. In the interest of history we desire to make a correction. This is what Mr. Hanna said: ‘‘There ain’t goTn to be no war—there ain’t no cassius belly.” • Subscribers must pay up and not allow small balances to run over from week to week.
