And even now some may doubt the wisdom of such a move, but past ex j,. r no” • jiir IS* hus in the belief that Ma * < ~ii a ill ..ro.ir. and reward every effort of The New** io l-< it< r represent and serve «!ii» city. Not only this, but we think we sac indications of ren* wed growth and j-.'-osp.-rlty for M i on, and we have deter mined t take ' mi- by the forelock in order to prop*- pi r p the opportunities that an he for < Ur. 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. v V 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. CASTORIA, Boars the Y° ll HaVfl Always Bought T” 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.

St. Louis Sa ' Magnate, Von der Ah?, Bobs 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. CA.STOR.IA. Bears the The Kind You Have Always Bought Bis r° 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. CASTORIA.

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. For Asthma use CHE NEY’S EXPECTOR ANT. Voting Places.

GRAHAM, Suite 1109, 114 Dearborn »t., Chicago, lIL 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 J. R. COOK. • ARTHUR J. TOOLE, T. J.

Telephone 129. 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. Books mailed free by Swift Specific Company, Atlanta, Ga.
