Occupation of Cuba.
There is every reason to believe that
Macon will be crowded with troops for
some time to come, a thing that will be
mo-t gratifying to our people from a per
-oii.il .is well ;ir business standpoint. The
•indii'atlons now are that no effort will be
made to begin the active occupation of
Cuba before January Ist.
On New Year's day tihe Spaniards sur
render the sovereignty of Cuba and th?
American flag will float over the island for
ti time at least. Tlie Spanish evacuation
communion strenuously- contended for
February 28th as the date of formal evac
uation. and the Americans held out ifor
Uecember -Ist. Finally Sagasta appealed
directly to McKinley and recivlng an un
favorable reply, the Spaniards agreed that
on January let they would surrender con
trol of title "(b in of the Antilles,” the well
beloved and "ever faithful” island. The
Americans were willing to grant, the extra
month. In fact it will be a physical tan
fHKi ibllity to get the Spaniards out of
Cull.i for several months yet. The Amer
icans agreed that they would be respon
sible for their safety. The American occu
pation of the island is to begin iinmedii
utely and it is in view of these facts that
the troops In tlie South are being prepared
for the Journey. Instead of occupying the
towns from the east to the west, tihere has
been i change in the plans, and now Ha
vana and Cienfugas will be among the
first places to contain American troops.
This may be done before the control of
(he forts in those cities are given up,
which will ibo January Ist.
While General Wilson’s corps will
doubth sn be among the first to occupy the
island, everything seems to indicate that a
majority of the troops now encamped in
the South will bo allowed to remain at
least until January Ist, of not longer.
Th? State Pension System.
There scenns to be a dis-position in cer
tain quarters to have Governor Candler
mis-undcrertood when he says he favors a
reduction -of the state pension roll: the
evident purpose being to turn the old sol
diers against their old comrade in arms.
That the effort will prove futile goes
without saying, but in the meantime, it is
just <as well to undestaml the governor as
Co this pension business, and to see if he is
not right.
Hie proposition i« to reduce the pension
system to the indigent basis; that is to
evav no one ehall receive a pension except
those who are in need of it. This is not
meant to define a pensioner as -a pauper,
(mt merely to prevent the drawing of pen
sions by .able bodied and well-to-do men
who happen to have lost a limb or >a finger
during the war. True their country can
never -sufficiently reward them for their
heroic service, but neither can it ever re
ward those who fought side by side with
them, -but who escaped permanent injury
—.many of whom are even more in need of
n pension than some who receive it. Just
here is where the trouble comes in. and it
is what is making the pension business a
«nan> as well as a burden.
We happen to know of affluent, .able
bodied. though -slightly maimed. ex-Con
b-derate soldiers who are drawing pensions
from the state, while their old comrade
in arms, though reduced almost to pover
ty. goes without. And, worse still, of indi
gent widows, whose husbands drew pen
sions until the time of their death, when
the state’s bounty suddenly ceased, leav
ing them more helpless than before. We
recall one case in particular. The hus
band and father was one of the bravest
of -the brave. He left an arm on the field
of Gettysburg, but with the other he re
duced the enemy by three before he suc
cumbed. Being a man of meagre attain
ments. his means of earning a livelihood
for himself and family after the war were
circumscribed, by reason of his disability.
During life he drew his little pension, and
tt heliied to keep the wolf from the door.
Then he died, and the widow, poor woman,
was entirely shut off from the pension.
Just as she had begun to need it most it
was refused her. and she was soon in in
digent circumstances.
It is for these that Governor Candler
•would strike the names of the well-to-do
and able-bodied from the rolls. And he is
right in doing so. Unfortunately, the law
as it stands admits of but one construc
tion. We should very much like to see
the Jaw so changed as to provide for the
indigent widows as well as for the old
veteran himself in need, no matter wheth
er his wounds arc in evidence, even if it is
necessary to deprive the maimed, but
well-to-do veteran of his own pension.
Whether the appropriation be large or
small, and whether there be a deficit or
no deficit, we still think the indigent
basis is best for -the pension system. Not
in any sense that would suggest
an admission of pauperism or in
otherwise give offense to the state's
most deserving beneficiaries, but merely
to make what there i* of this pension .
money nach those who most need rt. The ;
- proposed reform in this quarter need have
nothing whatever to do with the much
discussed plan of “retrenchment.” It is .
merely a proposition to reform the eye- -
tern itself on a very commendable line.
The Issue Before Us.
While everybody else is arguing the
question we claim the right to express a
few views, without intending to give of
fence to anyone and without questioning
the motive of those who may differ or ,
agree with us: in short, to simplystateour
. own convicitions in print, as others have i
done from the platform and elesewhere.
Much abuse and much bitterness has
grown out of this prohibition controversy,
as we feared it would; but, for our part,
we have endeavored to keep in a good hu
mor. while hearing ourselves assailed and
ridiculed. We have seen no occasion for
bad feeling, or for the very ugly charges
and counter-charges that have been made
by both sides to this controversy.
After all, the question is a plain one, a
simple one when we do not confuse it with
the various other issues that are injected 1
into the controversy for the take of ar
gument. The issue of “license” or ”no
license” has, unfortunately, been con
fused with the temperance question, and
nine-tenths of the arguments heard on the
platform and on the streets in favor of
prohibition are, in reality, "temperance”
arguments. It is not right to thus con- ,
fuse the Isaue. Against temperance there
is no argument, and every sane man
knows it. So, also, is there no argument
against morality. lAnd yet certain evils
have always and always will exist. With
reference to one of the greatest moral sins
even our best churchmen are now agreed
that the law can do nothing but restrain
and the church can do no more than warn
against. The public conscience will not
permit the temples erected to this sin to
be licensed, and yet common sense will
not allow them to be abolished.
We have used the extreme of human
vices as an illustration because we are
willing, for the sake of argument, to place
the sale and consumption of liquor in the
worst light. The former is an evil i.i its
entirety, the latter only in a measure. The
sale of liquor to a person who abuses it
' Is an evil; but to one who does not, it is
the same as any other business transac
tion. The consumption of liquor by one
who abuses it is also an evil, but its use
by one who does not is without the ele
ment of wrong
Thus we get the temperance question
and the prohibition question fairly separ
ated; and in no other way can the issue
bo fairly or Intelligently argued. While
[ we fully concur in the view that prohi
bition does not prohibit, that in effect the
issue is merely the “licensed sale” of
’ whisky or the “no-llcense sale” thereof,
we are not willing to rest the case here,
’ because we frankly admit that prohibition
■ will very materially reduce the consump
. tion of all those beverages whose sale is
prohibited by law.
In taking the position we do we are
tlrst controlled by a sense of Justice. Have
we the right to deprive 95 per cent, of our
people of the privilege of buying bever
, ages which they do not abuse, merely be
. cause the other 5 per cent. —and the esti
-3 mate is a liberal one—use it to their own
' harm, and perhaps even to the annoyance
f of their neighbor. On this last point
alone can the prohibitionist base his right
? to interfere. If the use of liquor affects
r the comfort and welfare of the public at
1 large, then shall that public interfere to
prevent its use? On this alone can the
r prohibitionist stand. But the question is
1 still —and it is a very vital one—-whether
■ 95 per cent, of the people shall be de
-1 prived of their rights, in order that the
I other 5 per cent, may be restrained —or
> only partially restrained, as is usually the
i case. Is it not more proper that the 5 per
’ cent should be deprived of their right to
f buy and to use tbtee beverages?
In deciding this point we must bear in
- mind that we are, in reality, asking for
prohibition for those who misuse whisky.
j We do not even take into serious con
, sideration those who use it properly; we
, make no point on them at all. Our whole
■ effort is for the other 5 per cent. And
’ right here we lose sight of the fact that
; there is an individual prohibition law in
Georgia, easily put in operation and easily
enforced. It is intended to apply directly
I to those who misuse these God-given bev
' erages. All that is necessary is to make
formal notice upon the saloons that so
s. and-so is an habitual drinker and uses li
quor to hie own detriment and to the in
jury of his family and neighbors. The
law is there, and it is enacted by the same
authority that enacts a prohibition law.
. If there are those who would- challenge
i the possibility of its enforcement, they
* thereby admit the futility of a prohi'oi
’ tion law that would embrace thousands
instead of a few. If there are habitual
, drinkers who clamor for prohibition be
i cause they have not the will power to re
s sist drink, then they owe it to themselves,
to their family and to the community to
’ voluntarily avail themeelves of the pro
l teotion of this individual prohibition law.
t Neither they, nor their families, nor
. their friends, it seems to us, are Justified
in seeking to deprive ninety-nine other
’ men of their personal rights because of
! this weakness of the one. Such a proced
r use is founded neither on sound prin
ciples of justice nor on sound prin-
' ciples of government. Who holds so may
f as well go a step further and seek to stop
f the sale and use of playing cards because
t some people use them to their detriment;
1 regardless of the fact that millions of
others find innocent entertainment and
amusement in the various games that are
, played with cards. The same principles
of justice apply to both cases. Yet who
■ amongst us, in this nineteenth century,
would go so far? A serious movement in
1 this direction would justify visions of the
. old "Blue Laws.” which forbade the use
? of tobacco under certain circumstances,
because the framers thereof did not smoke
or chew, and prescribed certain forms of
dress dictated by the most untasty old
fogies that ever wore clothes.
Thus does the issue resolve itself into
1 one of personal rights. At least it is so
that we view it, though we have naught
j to say against any’ one who differs with
us. As for ourselves, we have first con
, sidered this question of personal rights,
next the benefits, if any. to be derived
1 from prohibition, even if we should waive
these rights, and next the effect upon a
r struggling and progressive city should we
i make the experiment. And viewing it so,
, i we have calmly, deliberately and consci
f entiously decided to cast our own vote
. "For the Sale,” with such regulations and
s restrictions as are now fixed, and with
a the hope of seeing a still -further im
] provement in this direction.
s Speaking of the recent disturbance in
t Macon the Atlanta Journal offers this
hint:
r MWe do not know where these negro
r soldiers hail from, -but they evidently do
t not understand the people among whom
t they are now stationed.
t "Macon is about the last place where
i they’ can with impunity cut such didoes
s as they did last Saturday."

ROVAJ. BAKINS POWDER CO., NEW YORK.
A soldier at Americus was paid off in
full last week, receiving $15.60. He took
the amount and hired from a livery stable
the finest landau in the city and rode out
the full value of his money. And ,-et
Americus is a so-called “dry” town.
The above paragraph in yesterday's
News called forth a protest from some
of our prohibition friends.who make the
point that Americus will not -be a dry’
town until Janury- 1. The News is always
fair, and it stands corrected. It is now
clear that the soldier in question bought
his liquor at a bar instead of from a blind
tiger.
On March 15. 1897. shortly after William
McKinley became president, the current
monthly deficit under the Wilson bill was
$2,000,000. On November 15, 1898, under
the Dingley law, passed to meet the hole
in the treasury, the current monthly de
ficit, aside from the new war taxes, was
$14,000,000 or nearly as much as the de
ficit for the entire last year of -the Wilson
bill.
And yet Hanna, on second thought,
says it is the most perfect tariff measure
ever devised.
Spain seems to be determined to go on
record as not knowing when she has
enough.
A Sure Sign of Croup.
Hoarseness in a child that is subject to
croup is a sure indication of the approach
of that disease. If Chamberlain’s Couch
Remedy is given as soon as the child be
comes hoarse, or even after the croupy
cough has appeared, it w’ill prevent the
attack. Many mothers who have croupy
children always keep this remedy at hand
and find that it saves them much trouble
and worry. It can always be depended
upon and is pleasant to take.. For sale

THIRD GEORGIA
Passed Through Yesterday on Their Way to
Savannah.
The Third Georgia regiment, which has
been for so long a time stationed at Grif
fin, is now in Savannah and will move
again in a few days for Cuba. The regi
ment was mustered into service after
peace had been declared, and is, like the
Third Engineers, which is stationed here,
one of the "baby regiments of the ser
vice.”
The men made quite a kick some time
ago and it seemed that all of the privates
wished to be mustered out, and at one
time the government issued orders for the
mon to be turned loose, but Congressman
Maddox went on to Washington and after
several consultations wTth the president
he succeeded in having the regiment re
tained. The privates in the regiment did
not like this at all, but they accepted
their fate and for the past month they
have been clamoring to be moved from
Griffin. It was thought at one time that
the regiment would be stationed in Athens
during the winter, but a few days ago
it was assigned to Gen. Carpenter's bri
gade and will soon move on to Cuba.
The regiment passed through here yes
terday afternoon about 6 o’clock in six
sections, three coming over the Central
and three over the Southern. All of the
men seemed happy at getting out of the
state. One of the privates said that the
men of the regiment wanted to go any
where rather than to stay in Griffin all
during the winter, and that they were ju
biliant over the prospect of going to Cuba
since there was nothing else to do. There
are many Macon boys in the regiment and
many, people .were at the trains when the
regiment came in. The soldiers were not
allowed to leave the trains, but they all
gave three cheers for Macon as the trains
pulled out. •
The officers were all in good spirits over
the prospect of seeing service after so
long a time in camp. The officers of the
Third are among the best in the United
States and the regiment is now recog
nized as one of the best volunteer regi
ments in the country. The men have had
an excellent training under Lieutenant
Soence, who is a West Point graduate.
The regiment will be under command of
Gen. Lee, while it is in Savannah and will
be camped along with the Seventh army
corps. It will probably be sent into Cuba
within the next week.

of puny, sickly children that bring them

The woman who suffers from weakness
and disease of the distinctly feminine or

woman can suffer in this way and be a
healthy, happy, amiable wife and a compe

the strength, rack the nerves, paint lines of
suffering upon the face, destroy the temper,
make the once bright eyes dull and the once
active brain sluggish, and transform a viva

This is all wrong. It is all unnecessary.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a mar
velous medicine for ailing women. It acts
directly on the delicate and important
organs that bear the burdens of matern
ity and makes them strong and healthy.
It allays inflammation, heals ulceration,
•oothes pain and tones and builds up the
nerves. It banishes the discomforts of the
expectant months and makes baby’s com
ing easy and almost painless. It guarantees
the little new-comer's health ana an ample
supply of nourishment Thousands of
women have testified to its marvelous mer
its. An honest dealer will not endeavor to
substitute some inferior preparation for the
sake of an extra little selfish profit.
“I took Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
