Offices: 412 Cherry Street B> Tomorrow's Election. The prohibition campaign that has been ■waged in this county for the past six weeks will be brought to a close tomorrow, when the qualified voters of this county will go j* to tin- polls and vote either “for the .ale” or “against the sale” of spiritous and malt liquors in this community. We believe everyone is hiartily glad that the contest is «o near an end, and w« take this as a hopeful indication that both side* to this controversy intend to prompt ly bury th< ir diii< runes and get down to busines* again immediately after the issue lias been decided at the polls. At least we know, and everyone knows, that this is the spirit that should animate every citizen of this community. We must remember that those who will be most vitally affected by this election ure triose wiio an: to remain here after the issue before us has been determined. If the election dot s not change existing con ditions. then we can simply take up where we left oil six week* ago, forgetting some of the ill advised things that have been said during that time and standing to gether as of yore for the upbuilding of Macon, and for the common good.. Whatever our relation* were before this contest was inaugurated can bo re stored again as soon as it has be<n brought to a close, pro vided we all strive .t,o act in a spirit of comity. Our position will be in no wise different from what it wins six weeks ago, b< Hire wo were interrupted in our usual course by the incidents growing out of this contest. .So why not join hands again on Friday morning and go to work with re newed energy for Macon and for ourselves. But if the verdict of our voters is for a change in existing eondtions. if it decrees that certain of our business houses must Close and certain of our people be forced to leave the community, it is still f or who remain to stand together for Macon and their own mutual welfare. They are • the ones who must feel the effect of the • deciion, and it is for them to make the best of It. Let those who may be disappointed if the verdict goes against them not sulk In their lent, but let them accept the verdict in good spirit and bury their differences with their mdghlHu-s. For neighbors we •ire and neighbors we must renjain. There fore it behoove* us as neighbors to emerge from this contest with that spirit of good feeling, one toward the other, that is so necessary to unity and community pro gress. Go to the polls and vote. \ ote your con victions even though heelers threaten or fair women cajole. Do your duty as a man and a voter. And having done that go back to your business prepared to accept the verdict and to make the best of it whatever it may be. I Southern Cotton Mills. The New York Commercia.l commenting •i the cotton mill situation, says: uikbckonedon their purchasing power,the at Southern mills are as high wagevs mild in New England. This goes as those ;e contention of the Commercial to prove tl^ha S luuoh to d<> ffJth (>ost Qf that eliniate'fferencfe in skill and ma production.,- sure of early elimination, if ohincr'bu’o stand between the producer .nd his command of a given market. Os course, it should go without saying that with equality in skill and machinery in the two sections the product of the North ern factory can never compete in cheap ness with that of the Southern. The com petition between the North and the South in many lines of manufacture is getting stronger and stronger, and the lines in which competition exists are becoming more and more numerous. There seems to be little reason to doubt that it will spread I /to every article of manufacture and only stop with this or that product of the soil toward which the climate of the South is unfavorable, and there- can be no doubt whatever of the Anal result. “It may bo many years first, but the time must come when the South will be the center of all the cotton manufacturing and of much of the agricultural produc tion of the United States. But it will only in' the center, for its area and population will never be great enough to do all the producing for the rest of the country, and so the productive function will overflow from its center, and, in many- directions, reach even the remote bounds of the pres ent United States. Migration of labor and capital will gradually set toward the South, because of the cheaper area of pro duction. ami from that eenter it will back up and solidify in nil directions. This pro- COBS will be so gradual that it is to be hoped our people will escape the distress which would come from any sudden change in the producing center, and the end will be a symmetrical and logical development of the whole industrial system of the coun try. in the happy economies of which all will share.’" Os course our glorious climate must count as a considerable factor in the fu- j lure upbuilding of the cotton mill interest in the South. The good condition of the military camps which have been establish ed south of the Tennessee line demon strates how much people who come South may gain by being relieved of the dangers and distresses of a too rigorous climate. The New England mills may reduce wages as much as they may- choose in order to meet Southern competition, but at the last our more congenial climate, together with the fact that the mills may be established within sight of the cotton fields, is bound | Lo count to our everlasting advantage. h Facing the Difficulties. Governor Candler in his message to the i legislature faces boldy the financial situa- • tion in which the state has been placed recommends a temporary reduction of ' am,the annual appropriations for pensionsand a -choose. He is positively opposed to anv il for the ra ls in taxation. The essential para- | ;i , out of pf his message are as follows: t so mtafw of these facts and with a due that best of all classes V brougb. a lof our people. I have am»eu at tne <xmi clueion that the tax rate, already the high est ever levied In the »tate, not only should not be raised higher, but should and can be lowered, and that appropriations should I be reduced wherever It is possible to do i so; that this can be done in maa.y places I without injustice to any deserving, needy beneficiary of the state’s bounty. “I therefore recommend that no extra ordinary appropriation be made at this , session for any purpose whatever, and that every ordinary annual appropriation which I is not a fixed charge upon the treasury be I reduced to the lowest possible limit com- I pa'ible with the efficiency of the public | service. The estimate for military pur- I poses, for instance, can, in my judgment, I r>e reduced one-half. The estimates of ap propriations to some of the institutions j supported by the state which are approxi mately as high now as they were when the cost of living was much greater than it is i-n this era of low prices may be reduced without injury to these institutions. 1 advise that the committees charged with the care of these institutions look care fully into their management and their re quirements, and that wherever it is pos sible to retrench in the expenditure of money on their account, it be done. After all of this is done, however furth er retrenchment will be necessary to bring the expenditures of the state down to her revenue and lower the rate of taxation, and the schools and pensions win have for a time at least, to submit to the same in exorable necessity that all other objects of appropriation do, and it will be necessary to revise the pension laws so as to confine the state's bounty to those Confederate soldier* and those widows of Confederate soldiers who actually need the aid of the state to supply their necessities and save them from want, and appeal to the patriot ism of those who can live comfortably without pensions to do so until the condi tion of the country and the ability of our taxpayers will warrant a resumption of the present liberal pension policy. I believe these patriotic men who, on a hundred battlefields, from 1861 to 1865, manifested a heroism a.id self-sacrifice unparalleled in the annals of the world, can be relied on to make, without murmur, this temporary sacrifice for the good of the slate in whose defense they shed their blood and offered their lives. I advise also that the extra $400,000 added to the school fund this year be left off for the next two yeans. This can, as I have already shown, be done without im pairing the efficiency of the schools and without depriving any child in the state of an yopportunity of going to school five months in the year, which is as long a time, and longer, than most of them could go even if the schools were kept open twice that long.” These recommendations are made in manifest good faith and will force the legislature to go at the promlem without much sentimental compunction.

Robert Porter's Mission to Cuba and Porto Rico. By Associated Press. Santiago, Nov. 30.—Robert Porter, spe cial commissioner of Cuba and Porto Rico, charged with the duty of inquiring into and reporting upon the economic and fi nancial conditions of both islands with especial reference to the tariff, arrived outside the harbor at daybreak Tuesday morning on board the steamer Admiral Dewey, which left Boston last Thursday. Owing to the port dues and also to the quarantine regulations enforced at Jamai ca the ist went to meet the Admiral Dewey off Mono Castle and brought ashore the long delayed mails and also a supply of turkeys, which, though some what late, were welcome. The Admiral Dewey, after transferring Mr. Porter and his party with pie mails and supplies to the ist proceeded on her course -to Jama ica. Mr. Porter on reaching Santiago imme diately visited Gen. Wood. He then went to the custom house where he made numer ous memoranda. He has many sugestions to make regarding the tariff, recommend ing chiefly an increase of the duties on wine and decrease of those on the necs •aris of life. He will visit Baiquiri and Juragua to inspect the mining interests of the provnee. The next steamer of the ' American Mail Steamship Co. (the Ad miral Line), which calls here will take Mr. Porter to Jamaica after which be will return to the United States. The United States transjxirt Reina de Los Angeles, is now leaving supplies along the north coast of Santiago province. She is nli'O taking two companies of immunes * to join Col. Hood at Gibara. The means of communication over land to Holguin have been found extremely difficult, owing to the recent rains, flooded streams and boggy lands. Consequently it is neces [ stary to rely principally upon the periodi cal trips of steamers like the Reina de Los Angeles and others available. ‘ Gen. Woods intends to make his long delayed trip along the north coast this week, but it is possible that there may be another postponement owing to the negro regiment troubles at San Luis and other important business.

Will Not Succeed His Distinguished Father in the Old Pulpit. By Associated Press. New York, Nov. 30 —Rev. Dr. Thomas Hall tvill not succeed his father, the late Rev. Dr. John Hall as pastor of the Fifth ■Avenue Presbyterian church, for he has accepted the chair of Christian ethics in the Union Theological Seminary, which was vacated by the Rev. Charles A. Briggs. When the Briggs controversy was at its height Dr. Thomas Hall was promi nent among the supporters of Dr. Briggs. In many sermons, as well as in writings to the religious press, Dr. Hall defended exposition of doctrine. Dr. rfall's succession to the pulpit of the Fifth avenue church was suggested im mediately after the death of his father, but strong opposition developed because of his doctrinal record and the subject was dropped. Dr. Hall was graduated from Princeton University in the class of 1879. RSm 1 * xYYF / IP A New and Complete treatment, consisting of SUPPOSITORIES, Capsules of Ointment and two Boxes of Ointment.
