Transfer of the Philippines to Great Britain.
The charge recently made by Judge
Speer to the grand Jury in the United |
States court, which was printed in full in
The News has attracted much attention,
and is being freely commented upon by
the press of the country. The New York 1
Sun makes Judge Speer’s charge, and es- ■
pecially his remarks on the Philippines, I
the subject tor a very interesting edito- i
rial, which is as follows:
“Judge Emory Speer, of the United ,
States district court for the southern dis
trict. of Georgia, sometimes departs from
the conventional in his charges to juries.
He is an earnest thinker and an ardent
patriot, and his views on national affairs
find expression now and then from the I
bench when occasion arises to instruct
jurymen in the duties of good citizenship.
His remarks al such times are always in- |
.teresting and frequently merit a much
wider audience than the jury box or the
court room affords. J
“In Judge Speer’s formal and general
charge to his grand juors at Macon last j
week, as reported by the Macon Evening
News, we find the subjoined passage con
cerning the acquisition of the Philippines, <
and the possibility of the future disposi- !
tion of the same:
“ ‘We have but lately added to our ter- ;
ritory an empire,in the west and another ,
in the east. The last enemy of our insti- t
cations, who lagged superfluous in this j
continent, has been driven from the last ,
foot of soil in the new world discovered by j
Columbue. The imagination of man can- ;
not conceive the opulence and variety of
■the material' treasures which have been ;
laid at tlie feet of the American people
by the wisdom of our statesmen and by
the skill and valor of our soldiers and '
sailors. In the distant waters of the Oc- ,
eident we now possess the marvelous
Philippines, which extend in all the fer- 1
tiilty and variety of floral, arboreal and
mineral wealth over a territory stretching
as far as from the north of England to
;he south of Italy. We may possibly, if
we and our kinsmen choose, exchange
these wonderful acquisitions for territory
nearer home, and peopled by those who
speak the kindly English tongue. Our
country may thus become, as Franklin and ,
•the fathers designed, a continental power, t
our army the continental army and our
congress the continental congress. While
all this is true, and while aour country is j
now the wealthiest and probably the •
strongest on earth, its chief reliance for
present happiness and future greatness is
in the. character of the American people.’
“The idea of an exchange of the Philip- •
pine Islands for British territory on this
continent at some future time has doubt
less occurred to many minds since Dewey
entered Manila bay. It is not a question ;
for today of tomorrow or even next week; j
ami conditions and considerations not yet
mature will determine it. if it ever be- j
comes a practical and immediate ques- ;
tion. i
“Nevertheless, the direct suggestion of
such a transfer, made by a distinguished i
Federal' judge in a charge to a grand jury,
is not unlikely to OQcasion more or less
perplexity, if not apprehension, in the ed
itorial sanctums of Germany, where the
possibility is already contemplated with '
some intensity of intellection.”
The ladies of Macon are very much
surprised that their prayers did not win
Georgia to the prohibition cause. Perhaps
the Lord knew better than they did what 1
was good for Georgia, and blessed them
unawares.—• Jacksonville Times-!. mon.
The President's Visit.
The arrangements for entertaining the
President and party have about been com
pleted by the committee in charge, and if
the citizens of Macon co-operate with the
committee during the President’s stay in
Macon, his visit to this city will prove a
most notable occasion.
It is to be hoped that every citizen, re
gardless of political affiliation, will join
in honoring the nation’s chief in the pro
per manner. It is not often that Macon !
is paid the compliment of a visit from the ;
President of the United States, and we
must do our city full credit on*such an
occasion.
In the first place the city should be gaily i
decorated with the national colors, and ;
every citizen should feel it. his patriotic
duty to contribute in every way possible to I
the success of 'the occasion. Os course, a .
certain amount of money will be needed to ,
provide for the proper entertainment of
the President and party, and a special
♦ximmittee will call for subscriptions at '
once. Macon has never failed to do her
full duty as a host, and it is confidently
believed that our people will respond lib
erally to this call.
It is proper that the day should be ob
served as a sort of in Macon, and
our public schools should suspend for the
day.
Macon has everything to gain and noth
ing to lose by properly entertaining the*
president on this occasion. Some of our
leading citizens are very hopeful of having
Macon selected as a permanent winter
camp for troops. and the President’s visit 1
at this time gives us an excellent oppor- ;
tunity to property pave the way for this
undertaking.
S'-lfish motive*, as well as higher ones,
therefore, demand that Macon give the
President an ovation on this occasion. We
cannot afford to have his entertainment in
Macon compare unfavorably with the re
ception accorded him in Savannah, At
lanta and the other southern cities.
By all means give the public school chil- I
dren -a holiday on the occasion of the '
President’s visit. Every patriotic prl and ■
boy in Macon will want to see the nation’s
chief executive, and it is proper that they
be given an opportunity to honor him.
A B’o / to Free Cuba.
General Garcia, whose death from pneu
monia occurred in Washington yesterday,
1 was about the only Cuban whose cofinec-
I lion* with the insurgent cause gave it any
' strength or character, and his sudden tak-
■ ing away may either prevent or delay con
j summation of the plans fcr a free and in-
dependtn government for Cuba.
Garcia was a soldier and scholar, a man j
| of great ability and character, and he lent I
| dignity to the cause for which he fought,
but it is not likely that any other Cuban
insurgent can inspire as much confidence
as did General Garcia, hence this govern
ment may hesitate to turn the island over
I to those who are left.
While Garcia’s death is peculiarly ?ad
under tho circumstances, it may be the
best thing that could have happened for
Cuba and and for humanity. Anything
that will prevent or delay the rtlnquish
ment of the island to a lot of half savage
| anarchists and cut-thioats would be that.
Owing to the shortness of the President’s
stay in Macon, the committee in charge
very properly decided that anything like
a general public reception would be im
pjossible, though the review of troops and ■
a carriage ride about the city will give
everyone an opportunity to see the na- I
tion’s chief. Judge Felton’s kind tender ■
I of his palatial home has simplified the so- I
j clal feature of the entertainment, and it I
is safe to say the President will not b° I
more appropriately or pleasantly received ■
in any city in the South.
What’s the ma'tter with prohibition in J
Spailding? The Griffin News and Sun con
tains the following: “An exchange says
that “soldiers in Athene have a hard time.
They can’t have any Christmas cheer at
the dispensary with a written permit.’
Send the boys here; no permit is necessa
ry. This is a prohibition town. Nit!”
Ihe Sunday service at eome churches
seems to partake more of the nature of a
Current Topics Club meeting than a reli
gious worship.
Macon should put on her gala clothes
in honor of the President’s visit.
STATE NEWS AND VIEWS
The Thomasville Times states that a
dog in Georgia would educate several
thousand children. Quite true, but the j
owners of the yellow canines will have to i
■° before the 1 average legis-
lator will vote to levy the tax.—Columbus
Sun, •
When the war with Spain broke out and
the volunteer army of the United States
was being organized the three regiments
which Georgia put into the field were offi
cered largely by officers from the regi
ments of the state militia. Still other
officers from these regiments secured po
sitions cn the staffs of generals in the
ramy, and when all of Georgia’s quota of
officers and men were on the field the reg
iments of the state -were about half offi
cered.
The officers who went into the United
States service were given leaves of ab
sence until the first of December, -when
they*’ were either to report back for duty
or forfeit their commissions in the state i
service.
Among numerous other officers who en- !
lered the United States service from the i
Fourth Georgia regiment, of which the I
Albany Guards battalion forms a part,’was
Colonel J. O. Varnadoe, colonel of the !
regiment, who went on the staff of Major i
General Wilson as the quartermast<«i gen- I
eral. Colonel Varnadoe is still on Gen- |
eral Wilson’s staff, and consequently has ,
not reported back for duty in bhe state
service. H*e has forfeited his commission
as colonel of the Fourth Georgia therefore,
and an election to fill the vacancy thereby
incurred has heen ordered by the adju
tant general. The election has been or
dered to be held on December 15th, and is
ome in which only the coni l issione4 officers
of the regiment are entitled to vote.
Colonel Varnadoe’® sucessor will un
doubtedly be Major W. E. Wooten, of this !
city. Major Wooten has no opposition !
whatever, and he will be unanimously 1
elected colonel' of she Fourth Georgia on I
*he day set for the election.
Major Wooten’s military record is one :
of the best of any officer in the state. For
many years he was captain of the Albany
Guards, and last year, when the Albany
Guards battalion was formed Major Woot
en was made major of the battalion.
When the Finst Georgia regiment United
States volunteers was organized Major
I Wooten secured the majorship of the
third battalion of that regiment and
I proved one of the most popular and effi
cient officers in that crack regiment. Ma
jor Wooten’s election to the colonelcy of
rhe Fourth Georgia will heartily be en
dorsed by every man in the regiment.
Major Wooten was seen by a Herald re
i porter yesterday afternoon and was asked
something about the rumored reorganiza
tion of the Fourth Georgia. He was una
i bie to give any definite information as to
the extent or manner of the reorganiza-
■ tion of the regiment, hut sa'd as soon as
he became colonel a thorough organization
would be effected. Whatever this reor
ganization may be. Major Wooten’s many
admirers are confident that he will soon
have’the Fourth Georgia the banner regl
mem of Georgia militia.—Albany Herald.

The private in a Maine battery of ar
tillery who was fined SSOO or six months
j in the chaingang by udge Thomas M. Nor
i wotxl inthe city court of Savannah yes
tor day will doubtless remember Georgia
tor the rest of his days. The charge
against him was that while in an intoxi
, cated condition, he had embraced the wife
ot a prominent county official on one of
1 the principal streets of Savannah.
Judge Norwood is said to have charac
; terized the conduct of the soldier as that
of a heathen, and taken advantage of the
occasion to administer to him an exceed
ingly severe lecture. There are perhaps
some persons who will regard the sentence
imposed as an exceslve one and out of all
i proportion to the nature of the offense,
but as ia general thing the public will
give its approval 4o the kind of Justice
which Judge Norwood thought suited to
the ease. In the south public sentiment
is practieailunanimeus in agreeing that
■he most dangerous man in a community
is the one who fails to respect the sacred
1 person of our women and who can stoop
ea low as to offer insult to one of them.
There are few suthern men who ever get
' drunk enough to make the mistake made
by the Maine private. Aad he wil proba
bly never make it again.—Albany Herald.

CAUGHT FROM THE WIRES.
Admires ZDr. Broughton.
The following communication from Dr.
J. L. Whrte addressed to 'the 'Editor of The
News, reached this office .probably Friday,
but owing to the absence of the editor
from the city until yesterday, was not
opened until this morning, therefore it
could not be published earlier. The com
munication is <as follows:
; Editor of The Evening News: —I have
■ just read your editorial on “The Fate of a
j Firebrand,” in which you have somewlhat
( to say about Dt. 'L. G. (Broughton, pastor
!of the Third Baptist church, Atlanta. (Dr.
| Broughton is my friend and I have known
• him for eighteen years, and now' in his
j absence I feel it my duty and privilege to
i say a word in his behalf.
1 shall not answer your firs-t paragraph
dealing with the sensation of last sum
mer. Dr. Broughton fully answered that
in a sermon, which I suppose you read. I
wish to answer certain misstatements and
insinuations in your editorial.
In the first place, you miss 'the mark
when you state that his little church is on
the outskirts of Atlanta did not measure
up to his standard, &c. The Third Bap
tist church is not on the outskirts of At
lanta. It is in one of the most densely pop
ulated portions of the city. The reason for j
moving to a (better site is this and this
only so far as I can learn from the most
reliable source: The church edifice is
surrounded by railroads and the constant
ly passing trains greatly disturb the wor
ship. It is also known that the present
building is entirely too small to accom
modate 'the great throng wishing to hear
the eloquent young preacher.
The insinuation as to iDr. Broughton’s
j Christian character is unkind. I don’t sup-
I pose you know him personally at all. As
I have already said, I have known him for
years and he is a true Christian gentle
man and a consecrated, preacher of the
gospel. You say that “the rampant sen
sationalist was rebuked by his own flock.”
The whole affair was reported in the Con
stitution. That gives a different picture.
Nine out of every ten wept with the pas
tor. Many strong men fell on Dr. Brough
ton’s neck and wept. Such affection and
devotion are seldom showm. A man can
afford the enmity of some for such love
from so many. I write in justice to my
lifelong friend. I do not propose to defend
him. iHe is able o take care of his critics.
J. L. White.
Macon, Dec. 9, 1898.
Since writing the above The News learns
I
i that Dr. White referred to the above com
| munication in his sermon last night, insin
' ualing that the publication of it had been
! purposely wi rheid, and further stating that
I the Editor of The News hgd misrepresented
J the facts in the Third Baptist church em-
I braglio. As to whether The News or Dr.
' White is correct in the enterpretaiicn of
j the affair, we refer the public to the sev
, eral issues of the Atlanta Constituion con
taining full reports of the trouble.
As to Dr. White’s admiration for Dr.
■Broughton, we have nothing to say, except
that we do not envy him that distinction.
We frankly confess our inability to any
man who would prefer to see his own
daughter in hell (or worse, as he stated it)
than an inmate of a certain religious in
stitution, merely because that institution
I differs with his in creed. We are not,
I however, surprised that Dr. White differs
| with us in this particular.

What Hurts Macon,
To the Evening News: Your article on
cotton receipts and rates in the paper of
the Bth was time ly and well taken, for
truly as a cotton market we have reached
a point where we must have help or per
, is'h.
Macon received last season a little over
80,000 bales and this year, with a crop
probably equally as large, the indications
point to a loss of about 20,000 bales. Why?
Because if a Macon buyer goes thirty
miles north or west of the city and finds
himself still seventy miles from Atlanta,
properly in Macon; legitimate territory,
all things being equal, he would control
the cotton with ease, but he finds Atlanta
buyers, while the bank cashier through
whom he is obliged to check and draw,
tells him with a smile, “You can't do any
thing here.”
Why?
Limits do not account for it because,
under the present system of doing busi
ness every buyer has practically the same
advantages through the exchanges of
placing or hedging his purchases.
Short sales do not account for it, be
! cause for months the controlling markets
i have been lower than they are today.
Relative professional capacity don’t ac
count for it. because Macon is represented
in her buyers, as a whole, by as high a
standard of trained intelligence as any
market in Georgia.
Yet Atlanta takes cotton grade for
it. because Atlanta is about 100 miles
further from the Atlantic ports than Ma
con. .
Rates don’t account for it, because, as
published, they are 43c from Atlanta ana
! 344 from Macon.
Yet Atlanta takes ■Cotton grade for
grade at % to 5-16 above the basis of an
exchange on a swap dollar price at Macon.
, I am tqld the year the Macon and North
ern railyoad was opened one Macon firm
handled 8.000 bales from that section, but
since it has passed into the hands of the
I Southern they have, been unable to control
any.
Why?
The writer will .leave the answer to the
honorable judge of the United States court
when the case of the'Dunlap Hardware
Company and others is presented and ar
gued by their attorneys.
The writer would beg to call the atten
tion of your esteemed morning contempo
; rary to the quotations of cotton as they
appear in that paper. Cotton men have
long since ceased to attach any importance
j to the same, but they might be and prob
; ably are used against us. for they appear
today and have appeared for some time
past just r 2C too low.
Good middlings in Macon have been sel
ling freely for a week or more at 5%c and
i middlings at sUic, with stains and blues
’ well up in the list.
The cotton seller or factors of our city
■ are live and well posted men and the
i buyer has anything but a picnic in deal
; ing with them. A. F. PARROTT,

One of the most recent novelties, which
will, we think, be welcomed as a boon to
horse keepers as well as the animals un- !
tier their charge, is a shoe patented by Mr. ,
R. McDougal! of Wellington street, Glas
gow, which can be affixed to the hoot
without nails. The new shoe takes the
familiar form, but has two projections, I
one on each side at the back, which en
gage rings at the ende of a band which ,
passes over the front cf the hoof and is
fastened in the middle by a screw attach
ment to the center of the shoe. The en- ,
tire arrangement is simple, and the inno- .
ration means that when a horse casts a ,
shoe it will not be necessary any longer to ;
seek the aid of a farrier, for the new shoe
can easily bo fitted in a few minutes by an
inexperienced hand.
■ In a rxmnt trial of the naiDoss horse
shoe the new invention was put to a «e-
j vere test, the horse on which the shoes
, were fitted being attached to a heavy laden
van and worked up and down steep gradi- ‘
ents and on granite paved streets. Not
withstanding this rough work the shoes
showed no sign of shifting and were not
removed until worn out. The new shoe I
obviates all risk of pricking or laming by
nails, and a slight rasping of the hoof is
all that is required in attaching it to it*
