Go into the camps any afternoon and you will see The News being read in •■wry company street. Compare The News' solditr lists with the lists of any other paper, and you will find four or five tlnus a:- many nanus as you will find on the others. Add all the other lists together, includ ing the Atlanta Constitution,. Atlanta Journal and Macon Telegraph, cnl you will learn that The News has a great many more soldier subscribers tbati all of them. This is The News' guarantee to a.lvertiK rs, and along with it should be born<' in mind the fact that ires soldier trade is worth thousands of dollars a wn k to Macon's merchants. Also keep in mind the fact that these soldiers are strangers hue, don't know one store from another, and only know to trade where they air told, when they see something offered that .-.nits them. Then you will conn to the inevitable- conclusion that the only way to reach them is through the columns of Th© News, and that during their stay in Macon advertising in The New* ha» a greatly increased value — though . till sold at the same reasonable rate. I o Vote or Not to Vote. No how to vote, but whether to vote at ail, is the question tuat seems paramount with some of our citizens iu the present prohibition contest, til course every man rias the right- io think and act lor lum s. If, but, lor the lile.ul us, we cannol_jp.e how there run be any halfway ground in thia is.-,ue. To us it seems that the man. who conscientiously believes prohibition will prove a boon tor this community, owes it to himself and to his neighbors io vote that way. Whatever may be his reasons lor not doing so, he fails to do his duty when he fails to vote at all. And Hie same is <qually true of the an ti-prohibitlouist who, turough lack of moral courage or otherwise, tails to vote as in thinks on December 1. if he con scientiously believes that prohibition is Hie wrong solution of the liquor problem, that It will injure his town ami prove u useless and harmful experiment, he owes it to himself and to his town to vote against a change. Whatever may be your convictions, vote them. Whichever side you are on don’t give half a vote to the enemy by remain ing awaj from the polls. The issue before us is too important form either standpoint to be ignored iu this way. It affects you and your tieigh- Ixir ami your city. Go do your duty as a citizen. Walk up to the polls next Thurs day ami vote as you think, or else admit one of two things either that, you are in capable of deciding the question for your self, or else lacking in moral courage. Captious Criticism. • Maj. Somebody is quoted in the Savan nah Journal as severely criteislng the provost marshal at Macon,and incidentally the other offici rs connected with the First division now m camp here, for their man agement of* the recent riotous conduct on the part of the Sixth Virginia regiment at Macon. We were quite astounded, as no doubt everyone else was. to see such a criticism coming from a man bearing the rank of major and himself a provost marshal. If his judgment is as bad as his taste in criticising a thing about which he knows absolutely nothing, it is quite likely that his own oftleial conduct is sometimes open to criticism. We do not presume for a moment that the officers in command of the troops at Macn need any defense at ous hands, but we feel that we voice public sentiment in rebuking this captious Savannah critic, and. at the same time, in commending them for their management of the affair in question. To those on the scene and who ought to be more familiar with the situation than one more than two hundred miles away, the alleged ‘‘uprising" seem ed to be promptly and perfectly handled by the officers in charge. No one could have forseen such fool hardiness as the Virginia negroes were guilty of,but no one could have quelled the disturbance more promptly and vigorously than was done. Indeed, the management of the affair was altogether so satisfactory as to call forth universal praise from tne entire commun ity. in which there were many who feared less orderliness than has been maintained .rem the outset. *We do not see how it is (possible for <so large a body of men to be under more perfect control, or for officers to be-more zealous in discharging their duties .or more considerate of the public. M hat hapened in Macon might, as easily have happened in Savannah, or elsewhere, though the affair might not have been so well managed. As to Charter Changes. The News understands that a petition »s in circulation asking the legislature to refuse to make any changes in the char ter ot the city of Macon, and that the same is being warmly urged by a certain local taction. In this matter The News stands exactly where it did three years ago, when certain other changes in the charter were shown to be desirable. It is all nonsense to say that because a certain man is strong po litically. the mayor of Macon should not be allowed to succeed himself in office as many times as the people of Macon want him. It is even worse to say that an ai derman has outlived his usefulness after he has been iu office for one or two terms Experience teaches that just the opposite is true. We don't believe there is a man who ever served in council who will not say that he is of more value as an aider man during his second or third or fourth term than he was touring his first term It requires a year for an aiderman to become familiar with his duties, and it is two years before he Is really an aiderman. Af ter that his usefulness increases in pro portion as he familiarizes himself with the conduct of municipal affairs. We care not who is in council, or who is in the mayor's chair they should re main there as long as a majority of the people want them to remain. And to trv to legislate them out is a piece of high handed business indeed. We do not tx-lieve the legislature will pay' any attention to stich a petition as the "outs" have !n -circulation.' Certainly they should not do so. As for the other features of the bill now before the legislature, they have either been suggested or approved by the people's representatives in council and they should be enacted into law with out reference to the objection of anv fac tion. Fix the Roads. The atention of the county commission- ! ere and of the road board 1« called to the roads leading from the city through the I Ocmulgee Land Company's property to the the militaryeamps at Ocmulgee Park. We believe one of these roads is a public road, but whether It is or not, the countv au- I thorities should see to It that it is put i in jierfect repair at. once. } n fact, should the road force be used to work all the j roads leading to the camp such action, ' though It be somewhat irregular, j would be generaly approved. It is now practically imposeible to reach the camp except through Mineville, and this state of affairs does not speak well for i our city and county. The soldiers now in camp are of immense benefit to this com- • munity, and it is our* duty to see to it • that their stay is made as pleasant and themselves as comfortable as possible. It is to be hoped the proper authorities will lake immediate action on this matter, and have the roads mentioned put in thorough repair at once. For the Heathen in America. FOR THE HEATHER IN AMERICA— Along with the production of "The Christian,” Hall Caine’s great play in New York city, comes a story in the New York Journal, of a young girl, Kate Collins, aged nine, who, until! last week, had never heard of the existence of a God. In reply to questions put to her in the court room she answered innocently enough, that she "didn’t know him;" that she "had no soul,” and that “all bad peo ple went to the Tombs.” This was her whole idea of life. Os the hereafter she had never heard. According to the story, the good Sisters of -Charity, who now have charge of the child, say there are scenes of just such children within a stone’s throw of the New York City Hall, and hundreds in the entire city. In contemplating a case of this sort can we wonder that there are criminals in the world, or marvel at the wickedness, the utter depravity of New- York’s “East Side.” The evident purpose of the Journal's publication is to demonstrate the folly of spending millions of dollars every year to change the creed of people In foreign lands whom we call “heathens,” While allowing cases of this sort to multiply— yea .almost at the age of pubity—right in the midst of our own boosted civilization. And the point is well taken. Indeed circumstances seem to have conspired to give it force, to bring it before the consciences of the New fork public. The Journal’s story calls attention to the great social and religious reform sugges ted by Hall Ca-ine’s play, “The Christian,” which has recently been witnessed by sev eral hundred thousand New Yorkers. It proves the existence of a condition in New York City quite as horrible as that which Hall Caine describes in London; and it proves, too, the need for more active, earnest, practical work in behalf of the heathens here at home. Some days ago a preacher raided SIIB,OOO at a single meeting in New York City so foreign missions. In a spirit oi religion’ frenzy men subsorbed fabulous sums, and women stripped themselves of their jewel ry to aid in the great work of changing the diet of cannibals and the creed of the Celestial. , They thought they were doing God's work; but in their frenzy they lost slight of the poor, miserable 'heathens right at their doors. The case of little Katie Collins is enough to dndeH'ibly impress upon our own people, and especially those in New York, file thought that it is best to sweep in front of our own doors before worrying about our neighbors yard. What, for -instance, might China say to us when we -are forced to confess that there are hundreds, yes, even thousands, right here in our own country who have not only never heard of -the existence of God, -but who are not even aware of the fact that they have a soul? A Tennessee editor writes as follows: "The villain who sent us a stuffed buzzard for a Thanksgiving turkey will hear from us if we can ever lay our male hand on Iris physical astronomy. We didn’t eat more than 'half of the foul before we dis covered our mistake, but that don’t miti gate rhe insult.” Charles W. Couldock, -the veteran actor, is lying at the point of death in -New York. He is afflicted -with dropsy of the heart, and has been ill for three weeks. Since the death of William Warren and John Gilbert several yeans ago, Mr. Couldock could lay claim to being the oldest actor on the New York stage. The difference between Sampson and 'Dewey is forcibly shown in the fact that the latter is writing articles telling how he did it, while -Dewey has refused an of fer of $5,000 for an article of t-he same kind. The president of Yiale University has of fered his resignation. The Memphis Com mercial-Appeal thinks that Yale’s defeat by Harvard was more than he could stand. Shf.rley bears -the uniqu-, distinction of being the' only pugil’at wno has never been whipped. How now, Fitz. The suggestion -is made that the 'Wis consin should be christened with beer, in deference to Milwaukee. Alabama will be soon out of debt. Gov ernor Johnston has been after the tax dodgers. . NO RIGHT TO ANNEX. Cuban Commissioners Say this Country Must Stand by Its Promise. By Associated Press. * New York, Nov. 25.—The Cuban com missioners who came to the United States to offer -President McKinley the views ot the Cuban leaders on the future govern ment of the island expect to go to Wash ington Monday or Tuesday. One of the commissioners, Jo«se R. Villaion, expresses some decided views on the subject of the future of Cuba. "Is the strength of the annexationists very great in Cub?” he was asked. “No,” he replied, "and if it were it would make no difference. The United States has declared to the world that it does not intend to annex Cuba and so that ends it. It can do nothing but recognize our indeoendenee. In the meantime it is pracically governor of the island, a> J we can do nothing without its permission It could not annex us without a political revolution and that is impossible." "Gen. Nunez said that Gen. Fitzhugh Lee would hardly make a good governor of the.island, as he had formed oninions, and was apparently in -favor of annexa tion.” "Do you agree with him?” was asked. "Any gentlemanly soldier would make a good governor and especially Gen. Lee, since he knows our laws and customs and our traditions. A man wno knew nothing about these, subjects would hardly be ac ceptable to us.” “Do you anticipate that there will be any trouble between the Cubans and our forces when the time comes for the occu pation of the whole island?" "There will be no trouble,” he said, af ter a long pause, “if the United States forces behave themselves. If they are kept under strict control, if they are gov erned by‘of fleers who know their business we will welcome them with open arms.” "Do you object to our troops at Santiago because some of them are negroes?” “Not at all. We have no race troubles in our country and many of the best men in our army are negroes.” c -A. S T o n. X -A. . Bears the The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature . /?. "* °f The Best.

Butts, Washington, Spalding, Monroe and Others Have Learned that Prohi bition Does Not Prohibit, Editor News: You recently published in your paper, or someone did, a clipping from the Jackson Argus, -telling about “Liquor Selling in Jackson.” It was there stated that prohibition had by no means stopped the sale of liquor in Jackson, that blind tigers were numerous, that there was practically as much drunkness as ever—• caused from “cider,” I ibelive. I also noticed in yesterday’s 'felegraph a clipping from the Sandersville Progress, telling about the sale of whisky in Wash ington county, and stating very plainly that -if prihibition operates no better in Bibb than it does in Washington it would be far better to let thngs remain as they are. That there are more blind tigers than there were formerly bar rooms in the county, etc. I aim also reliably informed that Spauld ing county has hiad the same experience, and I know that the same is true of Mon roe county. I understand that it is as easy to buy whisky in Griffin and Forsyth as It ever was—-the only difference -being that formerly you could see where to go, whereas now you have to ask. In one of these towns -there used to be nine saloons and now it has sixteen blind tigerp, ac cording to reliable information and the records. If 1 understand the situation, the differ ence is that the above counties and -towus ■have been deprived of the revenue that formerly arose from the legal sale of whisky, that scores of reputable dealers have been driven out of each community, and that outlaws have taken their places, selling the vilest sort of stuff where it seems impossible for the law 'to reach them. Now I would ask you if it is impossible to prevent the unlawful sale of -whisky in those small towns and sparsely settled counties, -how, in the name of common sense, can we hope to do /better in a thick ly populated community like this, where detection of such places is, 'necessarily, more difficult? For my part, I -must con fess 'that I much prefer to have the law regulate than not to regulate the sale of whisky. -An Observer.
