We ' vc Macon’s interest* demand a
fn • t-c 1...- • -ht pug** : fternoon paper. We
bcli< vc th« field will open up before such
a .paper, and that it will increase in influ
ericc and tin fu In< re- as the city grows and
prospers. We believe the merchants of
(Maeon will properly appreciate such a pa
p< r, going, as it will, into all the towns
within \l icon’s territory and proving an
important factor it! building up the trade
of this city. We believe the public gener
ally will be no attracted by such a paper
(giving, nr it will, i- much news as the
morning papers only fifteen hours earlier)
that The News’ circulation will double
within a vary short time.
At any rate. The’ News' management hap
satisfied itsi If as to the. wisdom of it
course, and every arrangement lias been
made to establish the paper on an eight
page hards forthwith and permanently.
Title does not mean merely more paper,
but vastly more news, more scope and a
better paper In every respect. In fact,
The News will be put in the front rank
of Southern afternoon papers. It will pub
lish both the supplemental and afternoon
report* of the Associated Frees, recogniz
ed everywhere to be i tie most perfect news
service to be had; it will publish live
state news from every town and county;
its market report* will be absolutely per
fect and complete; its local utw* service
will be bettor than ever; its society de
partment will be kept up to‘the highest
standard: It* editorial policy will be an in
dependent and candid as ever, and special
syndicate features will be added to its
news service from time to time. In fact,
plans have been carefully and deliberately
made for publishing an afternoon paper
that will have few rivals >n the South —one
that will reflect unbounded credit upon
Macon, and tie a. forcible advertisement ol
the idty wherever it is read.
This improvement in The News has ne
cessitated an increase of its editorial, bus
iness office and composing room forces. In
»hc latter department an extra machine
und two extra men have been added, and
A The News’ facilities for turning out a fir.st
cl use eight-page paper before 3 o’clock
every' afternoon are all that could be de
sired.
Mr. J. Russell Kennedy and Mr. Howard
Heck have 'been added to the business force.
Mr. Kennedy will be in charge of the adver
tising department. He is conceded to b‘
ono of the beet ad. men in the South, am
Jiih wide acquaintance in Macon renders
him peculiarly fitted for t.h'ls important
work. In fact, it was with regret that The
N* ws called Mr. Kennedy from th* edito
rial mom to the advertising department,
hut the enlargement of the paper demands
the services of the beet advertising man
available, and after scouring the field, it
wan Impossible to find an advertising mali
nger so well fitted for the work in this city
ns is Mr. Kennedy. He is one of the best
nd. writers in or out of Macon, and it is
with a special view of facilitating this
work for our merchants that Mr. Kennedy
has been placed in charge of The News’
advertising department.
Air. C. R. 'Wright, for five years book
keeper and cashier, has been placed in en
tire charge of The News’ job printing de
partment. He is thoroughly familiar with
this line of work and that department has
already taken on new life tinder his active,
personal management, the books showing
r.ft per cent increase in that part of the
business since he took Charge two weeks
ago.
The editorial force has been increased
by the addition of -Mr. G. C. Matthews,
formerly associate editor of the Macon
Telegraph, and one of the ablest and most
experienced newspaper men in the entire
country". Mr. Matthews has few equals
either as a writer or as a man. He is
thordiighly identified with tin progressive
spirit of the community, and hie friends
both here and elsewhere ar*> legion. Mr.
/Matthews has accepted the position of
managing editor of The News, and he will
devote his best energies to the building up
of the paper and of this city.
As reorganized the various departments
of The News are under the following
heads;
Business Manager. R. T,. Me Kenney.
Advertising Manager, J. Russell Ken
nedy.
Manager Circulation. G. W. Tidwell.
Cashier, Howard Leek.
Editor. Tom AY. Leyless.
Managing Editor. G. C. Matthews.
Cltyt Editor, T. J. Simmons.
Society Editor. Miss Mary Lamar Pat
terson.
Manager Job Department. C. R. Wright
Foreman Job 'Department. N. D. May.
Foreman Composing Room, L. J. Kil
bourn.
Foreman Press Rooms, J. H. Rrown.
Various other men an s employed in these
departments and The News congratulates
itself ihat it has a strong force through
out: all picked men in their respective
lines, and all thoroughly imbued with the
progressive, energetic spirit of The News
itself: all working together like one big
family to make the paper the best that it
$s possible to offer the people of Macon
and surrounding towns.
With such a force and such an outlook
before it The News enter* upon a new era
fully confident of success. r expects
<o win success by meriting it. and it re
spectfully asks the public to lend i: what
ever encouragement it may seem worthy
of. both as a newspaper and as an expo
nent of the progressive spirit o' th : s com
munity—a community that is soon to settle
for itself the only’ disturbing issue before
H and then to settle down on its way more
determined than ever to grow and pros
per. Such a town as Macon Is to be- must
be—demands such a paper as The News
has arranged to give it. One will help the
other, and both will grow together in us?,
fulness and importance. The first dav of
December begins a new >ra of progress for
The N vs. And w? confidently believe for
Macon al'o. With her nee pi- « rPe mo-?
united and all pulling together for their
city, as they were so nobly doing two
months ago, a hundrd thousand inhabi
tants will hie hers within a comparatively
few’ years and her commerical and indus
trial growth will be equally phenomenal.

The Penalties of Civilization.
The order of Gen. Wood, .commanding
ihe province of Santiago do Cuba, by vir
tue of which the inhabitant* will no long
er be able to indulge in their ancient and
accepted privilege of gambling in the
open, was hardly contemplated by them
when they invoked the aid of the United
States government that they might be re
lieved from the burden of the Spanish
yok«
It was their idea that when the Ameri
can army and navy should drive the hated
Spaniard from the soil of Cuba that things
social would go on in the old sweet way,
and that the “manners and customs’’ of
w urly four cenihries would not be tra
versed.
but according to Gen. Wood, the provi
sional governor of the Santiago province,
there is to be not only no more gambling,
but also no more bull-fighting.
The Cubans expect to establish an in
dependent state. Undoubtedly the action
of Gen. Wood will make them ali the more
d' sirious of doing so. They know now that
if Cuba shall become a part of the United
states’ territory there will be an end of
bull-fighting and gambling and lotteries
arai r, ligious proscription. This would
mean a sharp and wrenching reversal of
the ol.i dispensation and social order, and
io many of them who have been accus
tomed to the pleasures of the card table,
the wheel and the ring, it will come a* a
tremendous hardship to accept the condi
tions of American rule. They hardly re
gard the change from Spanish to Ameri
can methods of government as an alto
gether unmixed blessing to say the least.
To cure the man of Spanish blood of thd
•ambling disease must require a long pro
,of time and treatment and it will de
mand unquestionably the presence of a
large body of American troops for the
. trict enfore rnent of American laws,
which to Cubans will have an essentially
irti-n flavor. The real war—the war of
the new dispensation against the old—will
begin when the Spanish armies have been
repatriated and Cuba shall havocome fully
under the United States protectorate. But
if vv shall keep cur pledge to the lettfcr
and allow the Cubans to convert them
selves into a sovereign state, continuing
:heir nr thods of living and "doing, as in
the past, will the island be less a plague
-pot on our coast :han heretofore? Will
our tremendous expenditure of money to
give the Cubans freedom be justified by
the event?
Yes and No.
No—if it wire possible to conceive that
such a social condition could remain per
manent within the radius of the iiglit of
American civilization.
Yes—if we, continue to let our light
shine.
General Fitzhugh Lee, who is sending
his troops to Havana, will soon go thtne
himself. When that day comes and as h?
toes down the pier that he left last Feb
ruary amid the execrations of the Span
iards, ihe 'thundering cannon from every
American ship and captured fortress
should sound the ultimate knell of Spanish
rule and all that it implies on the conti
nent that Columbus once offered as a loyai
gift to Isabella. There arc occasions when
revenge is • altogether too sweet to lack
emphatic appreciation.
The postmaster general reports an ex
traordinary increase in the country’s pos
tal business. A year hence he will proba
bly report an increase in the deficit due to
the necessity of maintaining postal facili
ties in countries where several millions of
people can neither read nor write.
Georgia fell short in her corn crop this
year, but led us remember the'wonderful
peach harvest and be .thankful that nature
is still mindful of the rule of compensa
tion i nth Is wondrous state of ours.
One of the great causes of delay on the
part of the Spanish-American peace eom
uission was due do the fact"that Sagasta’s
representatives had learned our language
from that celebrated Portugese grammar
entitled “English as she is spoke.”
The trouble is that a reduction of sala
ries will mean no reduction in the num
ber of applicants for office. The people
will have to endure the same old worri
ment.
When Blanco and Oervera shall meet in
Spain it will probably be after cards have
been exchanged between their respective
seconds.
Macon might have a Dreyfus celebration
as well as Baltimore.

Proclamation.
Mayor's Office, Macon, C!a.. November
26.—0 n December Ist next will occur an
election for or against the sale of liquor in
Bibb county. I have been appealed to as
mayor of ihe city of Macon by both sides to
preserve order at such polling precincts as
will be located in the corporate limits, both
sides intimating'in their appeals that they
are apprehensive qf ’trouble on that day.
Without knowledge of any contemplated
action on the part of either that would in
any way impede, hinder or prevent any
voter the free and full exercise of hits
rights, but in the interest of peace and
good order and in the performance of my
duty, I have thought best to issue this
my proclamation, calling upon the peo
. pie, irrespective of their views on the
question at issue, to refrain from any and
all acts that*may have the effect of intim
idating or harrassing voters at said polls,
or that will cause directly or indirectly,
disorder or disturbance whatsoever. And
I also thereby put on ample notice those
who may disregard this proclamation and
by any act or conduct, whether prohibi
tionist or anti-prohibitionist, create such
disturbance or commit any breach of the
peace at the polls within the corporate
limits, that such person or persons will
be immediately taken from the ixills and
punished as the law prescribes.

Up With His Rights.
By Associated Press.
St. Louis, Nov. 28. —Chris Yon der Ahe
says he is in the s.uhlh again. Having de
posed D. F. Muckenfuss from the presi
dency of the Brows, Chris, as vice presi
dent of the Sportsman’s Park Club, which
controls the franchise «f the St. Louis
Browne, is confident that the National
League will recognize, him as such, at its
anuu.-il ;r■ e:ing in New A'ork n: x: mon '>
Muckenfuss is receiver of the club, having
b* ; n .appointed last summer by Judge
Wood of the circuit court. He is’also pre
paring to attend the National League
meeting. With .both demanding recogni
tion as the offi ial head of the National
League in St. Louis, the baseball moguls
will have a knotty point to untie. Chris
it one of the directors of the National
League. He contends that the St. Louis
franchise is the property of the St. Louis
Baseball Association, of which he is the
.-ole owner and that the Sportsman's Park
Club has been allowed to use the .fran
chise through his consent. According to
Mackenfuss, however,the National League
is certain to recognize him as receiver of
the Sportsman's Park Club and accord
him as such all the rights and privileges
peri..ining to the control of the St. Louis
franchise. Muckenfuss says that John T.
Brush and other prominent League mag
nates have asured him of this fact. Chris
says he will filit Muckenfuss to the bitter
end.
“I expect to be on top again next sea
son," said Chris, “and expect to have
Charlie Comiskey as manager and cap
tain of the. club.

KRUPP ARMOR PREFERRED,
It Seems that Our Iron Masters Are Not Up
to the German Standard.
By Associated Press.
New York. Nov. 28.—A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
There is reason to 'believe that the four
new monitors to be-constructed will be
the first vessels of the navy fitted with
Krupp armor. Captain O’Neill is con-tem
ulating making contracts with the Carne
gie and Bethlehem companiese for Krupp
armor, but he can do nothing in the mat
ter unless congress authorizes the payment
of a higher price than S4OO per ton, the
maximum now fixed by law. ,
Now that there seems to be' little fur
rier doubt that Spain will comply with the
demands of the United States, the battle
ships lowa and Oregon are expected to
leave Montevideo at once. Their next
stopping place will be Punta Arrenas,
where they will coal and they will then
head for the Gallapagos Islands.
The navy department has granted the
Union Iron AVorks, San Francisco, permis
sion to give the torpedo boat destroyer
Farragut another official trail. The law
requires that this vessel shall make thirty
knots an hour before she can be accepted
by the government. On her last trial Ihe
'Farragut made an average speed of 29.7
knots.

Senator Gear, of iowa, a" r
pansionist of tL L
treme Sort.
By Associated Press.
Burlington, lowa. Nov. 28. Senator
John H. Gear before his departure for
"as ..ing ton, said in. an interview
that the greater part of the short
session would be taken up with apropria-
Tion bills. The navy will receive a gen
erous share of the allowances. As to the
results of the war Senator Gear is in fa
or of keeping the lands in dispute in the
firm belief that it is the will of providence
icat we should bring order, progress and
enlightenment to regions too long domi
nated and kept in darkness and poverty
by Spanish taskmasters. We ought not
only to keep the islands, he says, but af
ter instituting reforms in administration,
sanitation, social order, etc., establish
over them a territorial form of govern
ment, a territorial legislature for local
laws representation in congress and a
governor appointed by the president. This
system would apply to Hawaii, the Phil
iippines, Porto Rico and such other is
lands as we might acquire, by treaty of
peace, from Spain. Over these a prelim
inary military control should be estab
lished.the same to be withdrawn assoonas
• i ’ll conditions and national expediency
will permit.
As to Cuba the Senator says the same
temporary military control should be
maintained in the interest of internal
: ac-e and restoration or agricultural pur
sluts until the people demonstrate their
fitness for self-governmen-t. .The Nicar
aguan canal becomes imperative now and
congress will probably pass a bill this
winter for the construction of the canal
and its maintenance under governmental
control.
A cable in the Pacific becomes a comm
ercial necessity in view' of the sure devel
opment of trade relations.

A Poor Way to
Treat Catarrh
Is to Rely Upon the Sprays,
Washes, Etc.,
Which form the basis of many
“methods’’ now so prevalent.
Such treatment might avail some
thing if Catarrh was only a local
irritation of the membranes. But
the disease is not on the surface—
the discomforting irritation of the
lining of the throat is not the dis
ease itself, but simply a mani
festation of it. Catarrh is a
deep-seated, constitutional blood
disease, and it is as easy to put
out fire with a sheet of paper as to
hope to cure it with local applica
tions. Don’t mistake temporary
relief for benefit. Those who last
season thought themselves bene
fited by this treatment will see
their mistake as soon as the first
chilling blast of winter is felt.
“The sprays and washes prescribed by
the doctors relieved me only tempora
rily, and though I used them constant
ly for ten years, the disease had a
firmer hold than ever. I was in a
lamentable condition when I decided
to try S. S: S. lat once began to im
prove, and after taking it for three
months I was cured completely, the

dreadful disease was eradicated from
my system, and I have had no return
of it. Miss Josie Owen,
“Montpelier, O.”
Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) is the
only cure for Catarrh, for it goes
direct to the cause of the trouble
—the blood—forcing the disease
from the system. Those who have
had Catarrh for any length of time
know' that each winter finds them
more firmly in the grasp of the
disease than before. Their expe
• rience teaches them that local
. treatment can do them no good.
A trial of S. S. S.
will convince
them that it is the
proper remedy.
If you are just
feeling the first
touch of this
-offensive disease,
|you should begin
treatment promptly, for its sever
ity increases each year; but be
sure to begin right. * If- you treat
only the surface, relying upon
sprays, washes and, inhalations,
you may be sure that a mild case
will be a bad one next year and
a worse one the year later. Begin
promptly to take S. S. S. and be
cured.
