Mutual are strictly In order. Macon has wk>n the aprobation of the whole state. Bridges Smith and Nat Winship handled the revel to perfection. Every day has been Macon’s day, but this one more particularly. The Trades .Display yesterday surprised the croakers and Siileniced the ravens. The chairman of the finance committee of the Macon Carnival Association is all amities tonight, and you know what that means. Governor Tanner, of Illinois, is a flannel mcuthed Republican, a freedom shrieker sitting high in the amen corner of the Re , publican temple. If this fight bet vetn the sugar trust and the independent interests keeps on any length of time, the people will probably get back some of the money they paid the trust. Atlanta has sent a host of visitors to the great Macon Carnival. Atlanta congratu- Ites her sister city on her seventy-fifth birthday and the splendid style in which she is celebrating it. —Atlanta Journal. Hiram P. Bell, who was once a member of congress from the Ninth district of Georgia, has just been elected to the legis lature from Forsyth county. He was the opponent of Hon. Emory Speer in the mountains and <twice ran for congress against the young independent. The last race found Speer 4,000 votes winner. The Adula remains uhsold. The evi dences go to show that the honorable court is not so good a judge of the value of mer chant vessels as it is of points of law'. Meantime it remains to be shown that New’ York is a better market for ships than Savannah. Had the Adula been offered for sale at that port to the highest bidder, she would have been sold for a good round figure, and she would not be “eating her head off" in expenses. Mr. W. T). Bynum, recently manager of the gold faction of the Democratic party, has taken the stump for the Republican party In lowa. Mr. Bynum declares that the attitude of the Democratic party in respect tb silver has driven him into the Republican party. It will not be forgotten meanwhile, that Mr. Bynum did not change his political affiliation until his salary as manager of the “gold Democracy” had been discontinued. —Savannah News. Millions of feet of lumber go to waste every year in the form of sawdust. There are thousands of saw mills in the country, and each of them produces daily from ten to 500 or more tons of the waste product. Many mills burn all of the sawdust they can under their boilers, but with most of them getting rid of the accumulation is a matter of annoyance and expense. Mr. Victor L. Emerson, a Baltimore inventor, claims to have perfected an apparatus and a process by which sawdust is given a ' value of about S3O a ton—about the value of high grade gold quartz. The gratifying information comes from Washington 'that the administration will recommend to congress the revival of the grade of admiral and the promotion to that rank of Rear Admiral Dewey. Secretary Long makes this positive announcement and the dual proposition is said to be in dorsed by President McKinley. As, under existing laws. Dewey will reach the re tiring age in December of next year, there is a strong probability that Secretary Long will also ask and urge congress to pass a law permitting his retention upon the ac tive list for an additional ten years. There is certainly too much manana in the Spanish evacuation of Cuba. It has been two months since peace was declared ind Spain formally agreed to “abandon Porto Rico and Cuba immediately," yet it has to this day large armies on both is lands. especially so in Cuba. It also still has possession of the eagital cities of both islands and controls their commerce and trade. President McKinley stated long ago that he would permit no temporizing, and still the Dens seem to act about as they please. The probability is that such ac tio:;—or inaction —by our government is fostering a spirit in the Spaniards which may cause us additional trouble. If Chaplain Nave, of Fort McPherson. Atlanta, continues to hold his job it will be a wonder. His appeal to the public for clothing for convalescent soldiers at the fort is simply preposterous. It is beyond belief that this government, rich and Dem ocratic as it is, would turn its soldiers out of the hospital naked. It would be difficult for him or anybody else to convince the public that the army affairs are so tied up with red tape that well soldiers are com pelled to lie abed because the government is tardy about giving them something with which to hide their nakedness. The chap lain’s appeal is calculated to bring the de partment into disrepute.—Savannah News. Gigantic Inoustrv. The government treasury bureau of sta tistics issued compiled figures, the first of the present month, showing the extent of the tin plate industry in this country, figures fell under the eyes *of almost all newspaper readers in the country. To the average reader, however, they had but lit tle interest. The column or two devoted to the statistical statements taken from the report were pot intelligent to the mass of readers—not nearly so much so as the very brief statement that prior to 1891 tin plate was not manufactured 'in this country, and America drew her supply from Wales; to day there are seventy tin plate concerns in the United States, representing in buildings and equipments. •$25,100,000 ( sumat d) a-d employing 21,000 men, who, from the American billet turn oift bright, shining tin plate valued at $21,500,000 (estimated) this year, and that w'hile this ‘industry is the child of a tariff which free traders in sisted on calling a tax, ithe price has stead ily declined until to day tin plate is selling at 2.2 cents per pound, against 3.5 cents a pound in 1891, a decline of 1,3 cents in the seven years and this under a tariff. Few Americans realize the extent of lth«= tin plate industry of the nation. Figtires submitted in the government report do not iglve the uninitiated an intelligent idea. There ‘is no industry today in the United States that has experienced so wonderful a growth an tin plate. More m°n are em ployed today in turning out tin plate than are employed in the window’ glass plants of the nation. More w'ages are paid out to day to tin plate workmen in this country than are paid oult by the tin plate manu facturers of Wales. Wales has been build ing her industry for decades, and she has 480 mills—about 125 plants; the United Spates has b c en bnildinz her industry sev n years, and today has 305 mills —.forty-five plants—and an auxiliary of twenty-five It inninc plants, making the output equal to 450 mills. The figures ‘given for this na tion include a half dozen plants which are now* under contsruction and will be in op eration before the present year expires. The information concerning the number of mills in Wales cames through William Williams & Sons, of Swansea, Wales, a concern which has for years been the greatest tin producer in the world. A Qr|o> ri.r P"hl>'”?tion t “The Southland” is the title of one of she handsomest and most meritorious railway publications ever published in this country. It ‘ls dedicated “to the people of the Souta by the Southern Railway Company, whose interests 'are identical -with those of the states traversed by its lines.” The pur pose of the volume, which is indeed an “edition de luxe,” is to portray the ad vancement of the empire of the South, which “'has been one of the grandest and most noteworthy movemenlts in the indus trial and commercial history of the world.” It is quite evident that expense cut no figure in the publication of the work. The binding is artistic, while the letter-ipress 'is em'belished with several hundred half-tone illustrations, many of them gems in their way. The written mat ter is far above the average in merit. Most of the industrial sketches are dry read ing, consisting chiefly of musty facts and 'tiresome statistics. In this instance, how ever, tie ground .has been covered with dis tinct literary ability. No essential facts or statistics have been omitted, but they have all been so skilfully interwoven that the complete narrative makes an attrac , tive, readable, instructive story. The state of Georgia is liberally trealted in the book; being given some twenty-two pages and nearly a hundred 'illustrations. The publi cation was edited and compiled by Mr. Frank Presbrey. More War Clouds. It was Bismarck (a peacemaker who al ways attached a String to bis- coinages) who dubed Premier Salisbury: “A lath painted to resemble steel.” While it is true that at one period it would seem as though the Bismarckian designation was not inapt, it is ‘clearly apparent that of late Salisbury has displayed exceptional 1 firmness 'in his diplomatic utterances. In the Fashoda Blue Book, just out, he plainly tells France that 'at the risk of war she must not claim color of right to occupy any part of the Nile Valley. The premier declares that the operations of General Kitchener placed all the territories of Khalifa Abdullah, 'by right of conquest, in the hands of the British and Egyptian governments. The situation, w'hile not critical, is grave. Salisbury cannot recede. France will not admit his contentions. The “Thunderer,” : in its 'leading editorial, seems to regard the . situation as alarming. Two facts ’conspire to make ‘a declara tion of hostilities not improbable: The French army wants war—war of any kind, • and with any* nation, excluding Russia. I And Salisbury, (hoping that the United States and Japan will be back of him,) has become more combative than at any stage of his official career. in G 'rmanv. The present would seem to be a good time for the United States to press for a readmission of American swine in Ger many. Meetings are being held all over Germa ny to complain of the scarcity and dear ness of meat. From April 1 to August 31 of the current year 27,700 fewer hogs were slaughtered in Berlin than in correspond ing months of last year. At Hamburg the decrease is from 2,000 to 3,000 per week. At Spandau, where the population is 90 I per cent artisan, the supply of schwiene fleiech has fallen off 30 per cent. Nor is 'the decrease in pork made up by l an added supply of bee/. On the contrary, Hamburg’ reports from 200 to 500 fewer cattle per week; and at Stettin the supply has fallen off 25 per cent. The lack of meat is causing serious dis content throughout Germany, and the oc casion apears opportune for reopening with the German government the ques , tion of the American hog. The carnival shows what can be done by United effort on the part of the people of a ‘ community. POWDER Absolutely Pure MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 14 iftob | Only a Few More Left j Those odd sizes of $6.00 Patent Leather Shoes that we offered at $2.00 yesterday 3 went like hot cakes among hungry soldiers.

Phone Biq The South is Prosperous. To inquiries sent by the New York Jour nal of Commerce to leading bankers throughout “the cotton belt’’ of the United Slates that paper prints a number of re plies: “1. Does the present low price of cotton seriously threaten the prosperity of the Sotfth ? “2. Has there been generally, or in spe cial sections, any reduction in the cost of raising cotton? If so, to whac extent? “3. Are there any other offsets to low prices tor cotton? “4. Can any profit be made by the plant er on 5-cent cotton? “5. Are general business conditions in the South sound and promising?” The concurrent testimony is (1) that the South is prosperous notwithstanding 5-cent cotton: (2) that the cost of raising cotton has been reduced greatly in the last two decades; (3) that farming has been diver sified so that cotton largelj’ is becoming a “surplus crop”; (4) that there is still some slight profit, to the farmer even on 5-cent cotton, and 15) that general business con ditions in the South are encouraging. The invariable report is that the South never was in better condition, with debts smaller and fewer, and money less scarce. Frank Hawkins, president of the Atlanta Clearing House Association, makes the following striking statement: “If the South could have got 7 cents for this crop, it would have been •like the West getting a dollar a bushel for wheat. Had this crop brought 7 cents, New York could not have loaned the South a dollar next year.” This is good news from the South and ’hows that that section of the United States, like all the others, is succeeding in its training for the great struggle for pos session of the world’s markets, which struggle the new century must be expected to usher in. Our Sins Find Us Out. The Canton tragedy is exceptionally to be deplored, for the reason that it indi rectly invaded the house in the land. Analagously, the lesson should be excep tionally significant and impressive. The Post of Cincinnati says: All through the centuries comes the warning: “The wages of sin is death.” To George D. Sa.xton there came a literal death. For Mrs. George the remnant of her life holds naught but anguish. Like Hardy’s unfortunate Tess, the Fates have had their sport wfith her. She will learn that while society may pity it also punishes. The people of Canton are not stocked by the assassination, as are thoes who dwell without that city. • The Cantonians were prepared for it. They knew the must come. Those who by their daily deeds affront -the social or der and the moral symmetry must beware the ax. It may be slow in falling, but it falls at last.” The work of the Mhcon fire department on the fire on Wednesday night deserves greateh praiise than was possible to accord it during the rush of the carnival report yesterday. The public is not generally aware of the fact that the whole of the lower portion of the city was threatened and that the magnificent judgment dis played in handling the fire is due an im mense amount of property values. Macon’s fire department is equal to any in the coun try. Reports of dead and wounded from the battlefield of the gridiron have begun to t come in. 8188 'COUNTY SHERIFF SALE. , Will be sold before the court house door during the legal hours of sale, on the first Tuesday in November next, the following property, to-wit: All that tract or parcel of land situated and lying in the city of Macon, said Coun ty, known as pant of lot four, square sev enty-six; said tract commencing at a point on Second street at the line between the lot herewith conveyed and the lot of Charles J.
