Do you know what con •tltuUs your chief duty to your party? It is to vote for its nominees. As judged by th< last state election there are a lot of very Indifferent D< mocratu in Bibb county. A few hundred votes polled where there should have been several thousand indi cates considerable apathy. True no im mediate harm resulted. But such apathy breeds trouble for the future. Il encour ages and even invites opposition. It is your duty to your party to keep down such opposition by voting for its nominees whenever the polls are open for that purpose. This Is the way to keep down opi>osition; by making the Demo cratic vote so overwhelming that opposi tion will not dare show itself. It Im doubly the duty of every Democrat to go to the jiolls tomorrow and vote for Congressman Bartlett, on account of his faithful service in Congress and his devo tion to the Interests of his district. He has tie • ly watched tiie interests of his peo ple, and has made a record that deserved the hearty endorsement of nis fellow Dem ocrats throughout the district. The Democrat who Jails to go to the polls tomorrow will be guilty of a gross neglect of duty. [he City Court Judgeship. After a very heated contest Ute Macon city court judgeship matter has been set tled by the nomination of Hou. W. D. Not tingham, wno will be confirmed by the senate on Wednesday next. We have no doubt that Governor Candler found the problem a difficult one to solve, in view of the fuel that he had before him tiie applications of three good men, prac tically equal in point of ability and char acter, with a large number of prominent and active supporters urging their appoint ment. It is quite certain that the governor would have made no mistake had be ap jHiuited either of the unsuccessful condi dales, and it is equally true that he made no mistake in taking the action he did, so that tiie only thing involved one way or the other is the personal disappointment or gratification of trieiids of the various candidates. \\ hile The News took no .part in the judgeship race, it has no hesitancy in say ing, now that the matter has been settled, .that Judge Nottingham well deserves the place, both from a political and proses- Jtssional standpoint. Ho was one of the original Candler men in Bibb county, and ho remained loyal to Candler when a strong effort was being iyade to turn the tide against him. lie worked actively for Candler’s election throughout the entire campaign, and he had the endorsement of a large majority of Candler's strongest friends and supporters in this county. So that from a political standpoint his ap pointment seems the logical one. Espe cially so when his professional ability and personal integrity are conceded. Judge Nottingham is recognized as one of the ablest lawyers in Georgia, and we feel quite sure that his record on the bench will fully justify the confidence reposed in him by Governor Candler and his numer ous friends. In selecting Judge Nottingham for this Important judicial position, however, Gov ernor f amller could not have underesti mated the personal and political strength of either of the other applicants. Both Judge Ross and Judge Washington were strongly supported and both were able to show 'brilliant records as lawyers and jurists. During his eight years occupancy of the city court bench Judge Ross made a record of which any man might feel proud, and one which will prove a strong foundation for a still more brilliant fu ture. He and his friends may well feel satisfied with what he has accomplished during these eight years, and they can rftlord to give way with all the more grace to another who, we have no hesitancy in saying, will do well if he maintains the high standard set by his predecessor. Judge Hugh V. Washington, who also made a strong fight for the . place, has every reason to feel proud of the support he received. He developed a strength that is in every way complimentary, and he may take comfort in the thought that there is plenty of time ahead of him. That he ■"will yet reap the high honors to which he aspires is almost a foregone conclusion. " hile we feel for the disappointed can didates, we can rejoice with the success ful one, whose appointment we in every way endorse and for whom we predict a most satisfactory and brilliant record on the bench. Sinecures to Burn. I-acts about the expensive government of the Philippines and Cuba under Spanish rule art coming out. No wonder the peo ple were taxed to death. There were sine cures to give away that woud make the bosses in our American states green with envy. Secretary Gage has secured some data regarding the Philippine administra tion and it is of interest: There was a central governing body costing s43.7<kV year, but that did not furnish offices\nough. There were two other bodies—“the general direction of the civil administration.” costing $29,277, and “the administrative council,” costing $28,- 500 a year. The governor general was paid a salary of $40,000. The chief of gen eral direction got $12,000 and an allowance of $5Qp for visiting tiie provinces. The three members of the council were paid $4,700 each. \ , The islands were divided into sixty-nine divisions and subdivisions*, with civil and military establishments. Who civil gov ernor of Manila drew a saflary of $5,000, and it took $20,000 to oil the of his government. There went eight first class governors at $4,500 each and ten other? at $3,500 to $4,000. Each of them had a liberal allowance for assistants, etc. The military outfit included two lieutenant generals at $12,000 apiece, nine brigadier generals at $4,500, nineteen colonels at $3,450 each and many minor officers. The military division of Visayas cost $15,000, Mindanoa $17,800 and Cavite $6,600. Minor districts ranged as high as $7,200. Besides drawing on the Philippine treas ury for a share of the pensions of the I>uke of Veragua and Ferdinand Columbus there was a charge of $1,500 a year tor the pension of descendants of the Marquis of Bedmar. It appears that while Peru was still a province of Spain the marqbis was the assayer and caster of the mint at Potosi, Peru. The Spanish government bought out some real or pretended right he had and pledged itself to pay a pension to his heirs forever, a part of which has come from the Philippine revenues. The Philippine pension list footed up $117,000. The state paid approximately $725,000 for the support of the Catholic church in the islands. The archbishop as vicar general of the armed forces ranked as a field mar shal between a lieutenant general and a brigadier general. There were four bishops at salaries of $4,000 each. Missionaries were paid from S6OO to $2,200. Six Capu chins .working in the Carolines and Pelew Islands were allowed S3OO each and six others SSOO each. The Philippines were charged $66,000 a year as their share of the diplomatic and consular service of Spain. There was a subsidy of $48,000 to the company owning the cable from Bolinao to Hong Kong. The treasurer general's salary was $12,000. Judges were paid $4,000 to $7,000. An ap propriation of $113,000 was ostensibly for schools of agriculture. There was an in spector of .woods and forests at a salary of $6,500. He had 116 assistants and his bureau cost $165,000. The railroad problem in Cuba is one that will have to be solved, observes the Knoxville Sentinel. There are a number of systems, uonc of which operates in con nection with t'he other. It costs a good deal of money to journey through the is land and takes considerable time. The Americans who are arranging lor trans portation of troops uud material amazed the railroad men by informing they woqld be compelled to make agreemeus tor car rying through traffic and that the way bills must be in English. But they nor their employes knew any English, they said. It was time they were learning it was suggested. The American officers did not understand Spanish and did not intend learning it. So the railroad men are hold ing meeting in Havana and trying to come to agreements as to rates, schedules, &c. Ihe study of English 'throughout the is land is being much stimulated. The Cleveland Leader* says that the fel low who got up the yarn by old Li Hung Chang eloping with tiie empress dowager of Cnina, should come on home and run tor mayor of Mole Saint Nicholas. And now they talk of displacing Douglas Glessner as secretary of the Prison Com mission to make a place for ex-Governor Atkinson’s son, “J. P..” This is the most unkind cut of all. Every Democratic vote in .Bibb county should be polled .tomorrow. Let us re move the stigma that has rested upon this county since the state election. Emperor Bill did not tide into Jerusalem upon an ass as was first contemplated. Some suggest that- this would have been superfluous. Tomorrow is Bibb county's chance to redeem herself. She should roll up a good round vote for the Democratic nominee. The only danger to Democracy is apathy. Remember this tomorrow and go to the polls. It is a duty you owe to your party. Vote early tomorrow, but not too often. DISCOVERED YB A WOMAN. Another great discovery has been made, and that, too, by a lady in this country. "Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its se verest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She finally discov ered away to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of 'Dr. King's New Discovery ■Cor Consumption, and was so much re lieved on taking the first dose that she slept all night, and with two bottles has been absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.” Thus writes W. C. Ham nik & Co., of Shelby, N. C. Trial bottles free at H. J. Lamar & Sons’ drug store. Regular size, 50c and SI.OO. Every bottle guaranteed. IOWA ELECTIONS. Republicans Expect to Have Eleven Con gressmen by Tomorrow Night. By Associated Press. Des Moines, Ja., Nov. 7 —Chairman Han cock. of the Republican state committee, predicts that the eleven Republican con gressional candidates in lowa would surely be elected. He bases his assertions upon what he terms conservative advices re ceived by him from the close districts. In the Sixth district Congressman Lacey, ac cording to his figures would defeat J. B. Weavver by more than 700. Particularly close estimates have been sent from Congressman Hepburn’s district the Eighth. Chairman Hancock, as a re sult. says that on the closest count the de feat of George L. Finn is assured by at least 250, which his belief is that Mr. Hepburn will receive in the neighborhood of 1.200 plurality. In the Second district Chairman (Hancock says he predicts the election of John R. Lane, of Davenport, the Republican nominee. He forecasts Mr. Lane’s election by at least 2.500 plu rality. C.A.STOZFLI-A.. Bears 'he Kin(l You Havß * lways Bought WILL CHANGE THE YEAR. Board of Stewards Will Change Date of Fis cal Yea J at Mulberry Street Church. The fiscal year will be changed at the Mulberry Street Methodist church by the board of stewards from January Ist to De cember Ist- The object in making the change is that the stewards will be able to make good reports at the annual conference. All of the dues of the members of the church have not yet 'been paid up. and the sitewards of the church will take notes for the amount so that the $1,700 which is now due can be raised. GLORIOUS NEWS. Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargile, of Wash ita, I. T. He writes: “Four bottles of Electric Bitters has cured Mrs. Brewer of scrofula, which had caused her great suf fering for years. Terrible sores would break out on her head and face and the best doctors could give no help, but her cure is complete and her health is excel lent.” This shows what thousands have proved—that Electric Bitters is the best blood purifier known. It's the supreme remedy for eczema, tetter, salt rheum, ulcers, boils and running sores. It stim ulates liver, kidneys and bowels, expels poisons, helps digestion, builds up the strength. Only 50c.

Camp Roe, of the First Georgia regi ment, was visited by a large crowd of peo ,-ple yesterday afternoon. Yesterday was the first opportunity that’the people have had of visiting the camp, and it estimated that fully five thousand people visited the camp during the day. The regiment band gave a concert from 3 until 5 o’clock. The band is one of the best in the service and the selections rendered yesterday afternoon were excel lent. The visitors were warmly welcomed by the soldiers, who took pleasure in show ing them about the camp. The camp pre sented a neat appearance, no trash or pa per was seen lying around and the people wet% given an ■opportunity to see how the camp of the First Georgia is kept. The guns have been turned in and no more drills will be held. The provost guard was given a rest yesterday and was allowed to remain in camp. The soldiers, for rhe most part, also re mained in camp and very few came into the city. The meals that are now being served to the men are .better than they have received since being In the service, and no kicks are heard. Several of the privates were asked yes terday about the men of the regiment re maining in the service. They all said that there were very few privates who wanted to remain in, and it is likely that many of them will apply for transfers to the Sec ond Georgia. CA.STOHTA..
