How the South Can Save Williams.
It a strange characteristic or Southern
people tliai .io . prefer ’the foreign to tile
m»m< - mam u ncle. Not that tnvy really
n< <oi d any ,•< . i.H superiority to tue loiiu
< r, but probaoly because they have simply
Joi mi <1 ,ur iiaiill ami can’t break tueiu
s<-iv<.~ oi it. Jiow the habit was formed
ami way, oi course, wo all know. Far
many ytais tue eolith mauutactured very*
lew articles us<d by her own people, and
a a <on iipn-m e .Northern made goodshad
an opiiottumty to make a reputation lor
4m iu.m Ivi .m l to gam a hold upon the
jnoplc. jtut oi late years the South has
entered mori largely into manufacturing,
ami tmlay we nun marly everything used
by oili ixo_.lv ma.li- somewhere in the
Nhiiii, ami many ‘things very mar us. As
a matter oi course i.i will require time to
>,n< tin products of these new Southern
1 aetorus jii.ciUemi over others that have
liven longer on the market, but in some
tilings, at least, jt would seem that the
Soutm in main article, in the natural or
der ol itliings, should gain supremacy at
«>m v, this applies, of course, to those man
utactured products the taw material lor
Hliiih i.- grown in the South —such as are
distinctively Southern products.
t onon sv< d oil, lor instance, is one of
Ihe.-v, winch, ol course, includes all of ilhe
various products of this oil, like cooking
laid, toilet pre.jxiralioils, elc. The
Augusta i lironivli , we believe i.l was, re
cently called attention lo this particular
product, ami stated .that the South could
save hundrids oi thousands of dollars an
mi.illj (it should have said millions) by
using cotton seed oil or the cooking (pro
ducts made therefrom instead of lard.
The t’lironielc went on to say .that there
has been route objection .heretofore on ac
count of rancidity, but this need not be
lite ease. Certain Southern mills furnish
a fresh, sweet and pure article, and only
habit and prjudice keqp people from its
use in .the kitchen. A prumlnemt gentle
man asked his wife to try the cotton oil
product instead of lard, but she refused
to do so. tie then told the cook to use it
exclusively and she did so. The lady of
the house m ver knew that oil instead of
lard was being used until so informed by
her husband, who showed her all of the
lard unused by the cook, and she was
obliged to admit that the bread had been
■better during that time. ‘Certainly a pure
v.gotalde oil is better than grease made
from all kinds of hogs, many of which
lucre possibly diseased.
Hut even where some of our people have
(wisely become convinced of the superiority
of i lose products, t hey buy the Northern
■make, nianuiaeturi d under conditions less
javorablc to purity and excellence, rather
ihan use the home-made product, although
everything would seem to argue in favor
of the superiority of the latter.
In the matter of canned good's also, es
pecially peaches, would it not seem that
those put up right here in (Georgia have
an advantage of those canned in the
North. Here we have them in a state of
of freshness ami purity equal to what we
might expect of those canned in our own
kitchen. \nd yet the majority of our peo
ple would probably reject a can of Fort
Valley peaches in favor of some Ohio or
Delaware brand.
rhe same is true of home-made wagons,
home-made harness, .brooms, blank-books,
furniture and numerous other articles.
We know of Southern manufacturers who
• an actually find a readier sale for their
goods and at better prices a thousand miles
from home than in their own states. There
is 4t thriving pants factory in Macon that
«an hardly fill its orders from Northern
houses, and yet it iwould probably have to
close jf it dejveuded on local or state job
bers, The same is true of other concerns.
There are enough wagons sold In Macon
and middle Georgia every year to keep
I'vveral wagon factories in operation here.
Hut the average Southern farmer would
Select an Indiana wagon over t sui»erior
Georgia make. There are enough well
buckets. axe-handles and other products
*‘t this kind sold here to keep several hard
wood t.u'tories in constant operation. And
.vet sueh factories would probably have to
• iejveud on Northern jobbers .to handle
their product.
Whv is this.’ Is there any sense in such
h policy ? On the contrary, it makes the
bouth Just that much poorer. A.nd it ap
plies to every city and town in the South
just as much as to the section as a whole.
I'he South can become the greatest
country on the earth if her people only
"ill it. and go to work intelligently and
patriotically to that end. Aer sources of
'vivalth are innumerable, but she will not
proper!) utilize them until she learns to
live at home. Our people should put a
premium on every Southern article. Give
it preference over any other. Let the fact
shat it is made in the South be the first
guarantee of its superiority. .Accept it as
a trade mark of merit. We may get the
worst of it occasionally, but we will profit
’*•' such a policy in the long run. Apply
ihe s.une policy to every community in the
South. Let .Macon people use and call for
Macon made goods whenever it is possible
:o get them. And it will not be long be
fore .Macon is a busy industrial center. It
will not be long before four cent, cotton
will fail to cause a stagnation in business.
Me will soon be independent, because we
w ill be making practically all that iwe con
sume and selling our surplus to our neigh
bors. This is the business solution, the
practical solution of the problem that con
fronts the (South and each Individual com
munity thereof. When our people begin
to aj>ply it directly to themselves we will
begin 4o feel a change In conditions.
Sherman’s Lament.
John Sbennan, in a recent interview,
confirm 'd the worst charges made against
Hanna and McKinley in reference to the
manner in which the old man was ousted
to give place to the Republican Warwick.
Here is the plaintive tale of the old man:
“I was always a supporter of President
McKinley. You know that whatever he
desired to have—governor, president, any
thing—l sustained. They always called
Upon me, and 1 responded. Bui I do not
believe that my sugg«,f loni< or
would now be sustained by th? administra
tion. I consented to give up my ag j
did not want to appear exacting. Always
with good nature I have «iH>s C rlbed to the
program. I chink that I have been used for
a purpose.
• They really did not want me in the
cabinet, but wanted my senatorial seat. It
was represented to me that they could not
make up the cabinet with out ‘ me; that
questions were coming along that I aught
to have control of. I know tfaal Hanna
wanted the rest of my term, and as he had
always been friendly to me. I did not de
eire to seem disobliging. So j res igned
my seat and went into the cabinet Mr
Hanna received the reet of my term but
when he tried for a term for himself, he
could only get it by a single vote, notwith
standing the administration’s euprxwt. It
then began to be said that I was growing
forgetful and senile. Hanna, whom 1 ob
liged with my seat, was among the first
to say that I had lost my mentality It
was not a very kind return for my vacat
ing my seat for him.”
A Few Individual Cases in Print.
M hat The News said yesterday with re
ference to the injustice done our city by
certain recklem criticisms that have been
directed against her. is equally applicable
in the case of citizens who have been
treated with equal injustice in a similar
way.
For instance, among the numerous hard
tilings that have been said recently about
Macon and Macon people, there are a num
ber of statemente not borne out by the
facts. Some of these we happened to have
a personal knowledge of at the time, and
we were quite surprised to s<-e an entirely
w ron£» inij>T€*Ksion crcatwl by sonQf-onF* who
<lid not have a personal knowledge of the
things complained of, but who recklessly
accepted and acted on second-hand infor
mation and often, no doubt, mere surmise.
As unreliable as newspapers are popu
larly, but erroneously, supposed to be.
there is not one that would have made
public certain charges that have been
made from the platform In ‘Macon recent
ly, without first having carefully verified
everything connected therewith. A news
paper knows that a Hbel suit, or a fu
neral. will be the result of some mis
statement of facts, but the average public
speaker, especially in a political cam
paign, or, worse still, a crusade of some
sort, seems to be amenable to no one' —•
except, of course, the person criticised,
and the latter is always at a disadvant
age.
We have already dealt with the slan
ders that have been uttered against th»
city itself. But. how about some of the
unjust criticisms that have been directed
against public officials and certain citi
zens. iAs usual, the mayor and council
were given their dose first. The former
was pictured, so to speak, as the first
lieutenant to Old Nick himself, while
twelve of our best known and most repu
table citizens ‘were spoken of in any but a
complimentary way. They were not called
thieves and scoundrels in «o many words,
but the difference was not worth wrang
ling over. And yet our own citizens know,
and most of them will admit, that the gen
tlemen who have charge of Macon’s affairs
are not the worst men on earth—certainly
not deserving of sueh criticism as they re
ceive. Os couse, all aidermen are more or
less bad. Few men have ever been found
whose reputation, however good to begin
with, could survive a two years’ aldertna
nic term. But we doubt if our Macon ai
dermen have, in reality, become more de
praved than aidermen usually become. As
for the mayor, even his enemies admit
that he is a good sort of fellow, and that
he would be all-right-all-right if he were
but with them.
Then there was the charge, either ex
pressed or implied, that Judge Felton was
afraid to do his duty in the matter of
gambling. And yet several days before
this charge was made Judge Felton had
pointedly and plainly directed the atten
tion of the grand Jury to the gambling
evil. He was clear and Quite as vigorous
as was necessary in bringing this matter
before the jury, a thing each judge is re
quired to do.
Then came the charge that the grand
Jury was too weak-kneed to do its full
duty. And yet the grand jury had already
proceeded with a vigorous and somewhat
sweeping investigation of the gambling
evil. It would be difficult to find in a bodj'
of equal number in the county a greater
number of moral, intelligent, upright, con
scientious men than can be found on the
present grand Jury. The majority of them
are leading church men, and the jury as a
whole is fully impressed with the nature
of its duties. Ample evidence has been
given of this, as the record of Its proceed
ings will show, yet the charge, either ex
pressed of implied, has gone out that even
the grand jury is in league with the devil.
So, also, has The News come in for its
share of criticism, because it saw fit to
suggest a compromise measure that
would give Macon the best solution of the
liquor problem that she has ever had or
will ever get. Straightway we were put
down as an avowed “liquor organ” and,
no doubt, regarded by some few as an ac 7
tive agent of the devil—because, forsooth,
we are trying to remedy an admitted evil
by a better plan than our critics offer.
Again, we were charged with failing to
publish without pay accounts of the pro
hibition meetings, the statement being
that Macon papers charged for such no
tices and required the same to be marked
“communicated," whereas, as a matter of
fact, The News refused to charge for sueh
notices, but, on the contrary, instructed
its reporters to make full and accurate re
ports of these meetings, always giving
them the same consideration that would
be accorded any other public meeting, the
space devoted thereto being regulated, of
(course, by the rush of other matter and
the value of the meeting from a news
standpoint. Notwithstanding the fact that
this was the policy of The (News from the
start, as is known to all the leading prohi
bitionists of the community, an exactly
contrary statement was made, and so far
has not been properly corrected.
All of these things look rather curious
when you see them in print, don’t they?
They also appear ridiculous when you turn
on them the calcium light of truth and
reason. The trouble is in intemperate
speech. We have no desire to prohibit in
temperate speech, but we consider it our
duty to caution against it as we would
against intemperence in all things.
A Wise Step.
One of the wisest measures introduced
at this session of the Legislature is by
Senator Nesbitt, formerly commissioner of
agriculture, who has offered a bill propos
ing to abolish the appropriation made each
year for the Agricultural Department and
requiring that department to “pay its own
way" from the proceeds arising from the
administration thereof, such as fees from
fertilizer and oil inspection, etc.
Senator Nesbitt is. of course, thoroughly
familiar with the workings of the agri
cultural department, and he has learned
from experience that this is the best plan
for the economical management of the de
partment.
The annual appropriation for the agri
cultural department is now SIO,OOO. but
Senator Nesbitt thinks the department can
be made self-sustaining and, at the same
time, pay a snug amount into the s
treasury each year, over and above > . : it
costs to run the department.
The bill seems to us to be f
good business principles; firs'
will give the Commissioner of kg ire
better facilities for conducting fairs
of that department, and. second. .at it
will make the department absolutely self
sustaining.
There is no question as to the value of
this department to the state and there is
no disposition to be niggardly Mth it. but
it does seem that if it eai. >e , .t on a self
supporting basis the arrangement would
be better for all e . scerned.
The Afternoon Paper.
The Wllming >n (Del.) Every Evening
thus correctly ; >ee the merits of the
afternoon p “Os daily newspapers
there are two distinct classes —the kind
that’s look and the kind that’s read.
The first .ed about three hours be-
fore sunrise and left lying about where
people are apt to see it when they wake
up. And they d,. hmried glimpses ol it
Ol
piy
POWDER
Absolutely Pure
before settling down to the day’s work,
|but not enough to read and heed the ad
verti.*-m».'nts in it. The other kind col
lects the day’s news, prints it in the af
ternoon, and places a copy in almost every
home for careful reading. Everybody
reads the evening papers, advertisements
and all. Every evening is the most eco
nomical and effective advertising any
body can do in a city where daily papers
are published. No getting around this
proposition. It is proven every week in the
y< ar in the homes in American cities. The
great evening daily, with few exceptions,
is a newspaper with contents covering the
world of news, art and science, with
everything upon the same plate, and every
thing seasoned to the appetite of the mul
titude.” ,
Newspapers may be a ipretty bad lot.
but they are. at 1< aet. not capable of some
things that even a so-called minister of
the gospel is guilty of. If a newspaper’s
attention is called to the fact that it has
misrepresented anyone in its columns, due
correction and a|>ology is made for the
error. When a “vaudeville preacher” does
doubt that he was really and truly mis
stating facts, and his attention is called
thereto, with no room left for him to
doubt thabt he was really and truly mis
taken, he merely replies “pinch a cat’s
tail and he hollers.” A man deserves no
special credit for physical courage, even a
dog has ‘that, but that moral courage that
causes a man to apologize when he has
done someone else an injustice, is always
to be admired. And the man that lacks
that quality is not made of the right stuff,
no matter whom he serves or‘Whose livery
he wears.

equally astonished, though perhaps not
disposed to laughter, had they known that
the women of western nations, through false
ideas of delicacy, suffer in silence untold
agony, and sometimes death, through neg
lect of their health in a womanly way.
Women,who suffer in this way shrink from
the embarrassing examinations and local
treatment insisted upon by the majority of
physicians. If they only knew it, there is
no necessity for these ordeals. An emi
nent and skillful physician long since dis
covered a remedy that women may use in
the privacy of their own homes. It is Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It acts di
rectly on the feminine organism, giving it
strength, vigor and elasticity. It stops all
debilitating drains. It is the greatest of all
nerve tonics and invigorators for women.
Thousands of women who were weak, sick
ly, petulant and despondent invalids are
to-day happy and healthy as the result of
the use of this wonderful medicine. Good
druggists do not advise substitutes for this
incomparable remedy.
“I have used Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion and * Golden Medical Discovery ’ in my
family,” writes Mrs. G. A. Conner, of Allegh&ny
Springs, Montgomery Co., Va., “ and have found
them to be the best medicines that I ever used.”

Effect* of Inhaling' Gm.
To attempt suicide by the inhaling of
illuminating gas is a very dangerous pro
ceeding. It oost a San Francisco plumber
who tried it his leg About two weeks
ago .I:>hn Reinhocl turned on the gas in
his l.edrocin and was with difficulty re
vived Several days afterward a mysteri
ous gangrene attacked his right leg, and
that men. her had to be amputated. The
doctors discovered that the immediate
cause of the gangrene was a clot of blood
which had formed in his heart during the
time when its action was weakest. When
the heart s action lx?caine normal, the clot
was forced through the arteries until it
lodgi d in the smaller arteries of the leg.
Tile circulation of the blood was thus cut
oft below it, and that caused the death of
the limb.—San Francisco Argonaut. t
Every Inch a Queen.
Young Wilhelmina of the Netherlands
is every inch a queen, and a true daughter
of Eve to boot. When one of the ladies of
her court recently urged upon her the
eligibility of a certain prince for the place
of royal consort, she replied:
“If you think him so very fine, why
don’t you marry him yourself? You are
a widow When I take a husband, he is
to be my subject for one or two hours
during tlie day—that is, while 1 am en
gaged with my ministers. For the rest of
the time he is to be ray lord and master.
If he cannot play both parts, I don’t want
him. ”
Beatrice herself, in “Much Ado,” could
not have been more imperious.—Cincin-
nati Enquirer.
A Much Titled Woman.
The Duchess of Devonshire is perhaps
the most, enviable of all the queens of Eng
lish society. She is chatelaine of six of
tlie most palatial houses in England and
Ireland, of a town house whose rental
value is equal to the yearly salaries of half
tike British cabinet, of a chateau in France
and a “lordly pleasure house” on the
Riviera. She has won two ducal coronets
by marriage, has borne ten titles of peer
age and is a French countess. Although
she is still regarded as one of the loveliest
women in society, she is grandmother of a
duke, who is himself meditating matri
mony.

Oh! The Pain
J
Os Rheumatism!
i Its Tortures Known to
i Thousands.
k
The aches and pains of Rheuma
> tism become a constant com
panion to all who are victims of
this disabling disease. The peo
ple generally are not acquainted
j with the cause of the disease,
• though thousands know its tor
-1 turea.
Everybody should know that
Rheumatism is a peculiar acid con
dition of the blood, upon which all
' liuiments in the world can have
no effect whatever. The best
blood remedy is needed—one which
is able to go to the very seat of the
disease and force it out. Swift’s
Specific (S. S. S.) is the right
remedy for Rheumatism, because
it is the only blood remedy free
from mercury, potash and other
minerals which intensify the dis
ease, causing stiffness of the joints
and aching of the bones.
S. S. S. neutralizes the acid
condition of the blood, and forces
out every trace of the disease. It
reaches even the worst cases
w r here the doctors have made
cripples with their prescriptions
of potash and mercury.

“My wife wns for years a sufferer
from Rheumatism, and was treated
constantly, but could obtain no relief.
The doctors said the disease was liable
to strike the heart at any time, in
which event death would be inevitable.
“Every kind of treatment recom
mended for Rheumatism was given,
including widely advertised blood rem
edies, but none did any good. She
grew worse all the while and was re
duced to a mere shadow of her former
self.
“It was at this critical period that
S. S. S. was tried;
thismedicineseemed
to reach the dis
ease promptly, and
she began to im
prove. One dozen
bottles effected a
-complete cure, and
she has’had no touch
