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. When Lady Marie Wortley Montague visited household of Sultan, she !wKs Jv wrote home to Imw ( England that the ( ladies of the / z Earem were \ STn othered with kN I'D ZA \laughter to dis- A U \ I cover that her \\ \\ / /ladyship wore II d y-Zli u/ / an inner vest 111 Itx /Q '/fTi // steel and \ll 1 /’ II!

' 1 ll The ladies I | \of the harem | would no doubt have been 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.

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.
