The rales of the demagogue .and his poli tically aspirations, la being censured and condemned nib over the common wealth on Account of the continued and unmitigated fierceness of thalr attacks upon the different common carriers of the state. This body In unmeasured terms condemns this action and for the sake of justice and moderation wlahea a sane, eonaer vatlve course In the future to all alike. Stop the strife and enmity between capital and labor, punish the office seeking politicians, with their appeal* to the prejudices and pas- •lona of all people. The Chamber ot Commerce wishes to eliminate this condition and bring things to a normal but equable condi tion. Their resolutions are as fol lows: "Whereas, our manufacturing, mercantile, farming and all other hue Ineae Interests In this state are de pressed and feeling the baneful In fluence and effects of the agitation and attack! of the past two or three years upon the railroads and other corporate property, and Whereas, the restoration of confl- donee which hae been dlstreselngly Impaired by such political agitation, Is essential to the revival of our var ied business Interests and necesary to the further progrea and prosperity of our state; and Wboreas, In this threatening pa ralysis of our business condition which will bring distress and suffer Ing to the factories, the farmr, and to labor, and to every other vocation. It la our duty, in a spirit of common patriotism to lay aside all pait differ ences and seek to restore and pre serve the common good. Therefor* be It Resolved, that the Chamber of Commerce of Athens respectfully but earneetly petition* tbs Railroad Cont usion of tbte slate to discourage and disallow any further antt-ratl- road agitation and attacks, and also Invito tbs cordial co-operation of oth er chambers ot commerce, trades bo dies and other bnslnees Interests, and svery patriotic cltlsen of this state to join In tbU effort to stay and prevent further agitation and attack upon our railway companlas and oth. tr corporate Interests to the end that confidence may be restored and hoarded money may be returned to the channels of trade and oommeres, so that our railways may be further extended and developed and labor re employed—our lumber plants resume, operation— our cotton mills reopen ed—our building activities resumed —our trade relations quickened and re-established, and the price of cot ton and our farm product! restored and advanced, and all'other business Interest* restored to a normal con dition.

He numbered hit friends by the hundred and they are Infinitely saddened and sorrowful at his sad den demise. To be Instantly taken from our midst, when In the beat ot health, to lose so valuable a citizen, to no more feel his pleasing person ality and pleasant address, to go to he old place star town and not Ann "Uncle Mitch" Is hard to compre hend and still harder to bear. Friend ship, admiration and respect Is what etch and every one ot us desires while among our fellows.

Hard luck Isn't ltt Elks Locker For Macon The action of the Elks Club In Ma con In their decision to establlvh n locker club In that city, under the prohibitive tax Imposed by that elty, does not appeal to most people as the best thing or the right one. It has been the Impression among many classes of people that the Elks are a let of booze grafters from thti word go. Their reputation on account of theso propensities to have a good time and mako time fly merrily along, has suffered In many Instances It Is a (act that In some Instances they have overstepped the bounds of proprietary and their members are the first and foremost to condemn this aetlon. The principles cf the order when fulfilled do not la the slightest countenance or call for tuck actions. The Elks In Thomatvill* are among the best people that walk the earth and their reputation Is above reproach, In every roipsct Tbs membership Includes the best element of the tows, the uoat prom Insnt men la th* town and those whs have a high regard tor proper beha vior and demtanor. Never has there been a criticism of the way things are being ."in t -he club house. It Is a place v o- mtn feel that they can i. dot come'In contact with anv ula-l- tles whatsoever. And In that npect It tor no other It Is thoroughly and consistently respected by all peo >l« in the city. It would he much better If the club In Macon should mako effort! to discourage drinking in their rooms, rather than countenance and give It their permlaelon. Whit* they are gentlemen and fully aware of the proprieties demanded from gentle men It does seem that under the cir cumstance they would taboo such Ir regularities. Unleaa the membership la such that drinking Is absolutely necessary to th* Ilf* add existence of the elnb and we would bate to think that I* the case, It would be Infinitely better to cat It out entirely. fonr li t family affected by tie die- ease.

Th* office hae been In tbe hands of the grippe In good shape, all of the office torse with the single exception of one ot the editor* being under Ita baleful Influence for the past week. The editor has been compelled to do work from one end ot the shop to the other, write the ■tuff, to help In the printing room, to act as business manager, to gather newt, to run the folding machine and mall th* papers. The only thing to data that has not been attempted by him was th* machine and any old thlig can’t take that and run It off hand. The papers have ao been delivered to many of the home*, nor has the print In some cases been good. For thee* Irregularities the paper wishes to express sincere regret and promts* that as aooa as th* grip to shaken off things will go regularly and smooth ly as formerly. Th* grippe has likewise affected many of th* homes In tha city and it to nothing new to bars this* to MR* 8TRAWBRIDGE’S OFFER. The offer of Hr. Justus C. Straw- bridge to macadamise Broad street from the monument to Hansell St to meeting with the thanks of the citizenry af the clty.The fact that Hit. offer wae unaollctcd and that It was done out of sheer good will and kind, ly feeling toward tbe town and Ita well fare to a compliment to the city that It will long remember and cher ish. Very seldom It to that a citizen or rather a visitor to the city, will take the Interest in the town that this whole hearted gentleman has done. For the past few years he has consis tently given to worthy charities and besides has spent every year a hun dred dollars and more to buy trees for the city to help beautify It. This In Itself to more than can bo proper ly appreciated and were It not for his aid and cooperation, this city would In no sense he as charming to the eye. In that respect. It was his wish and the substantial support c' that wish that gave an Impetus an.l investigation on the part of the city officials to further carry out this plan. That .W* ban Xb* Host her city In South Georgia goes without question and the laBt offer of Strawbrldge to spend over four thousand dollars on his own account to further Increase and beautify the city Is the finest case of uncomprom-i Itlng generosity that has come to our notice. This Is and will be the means ot further Increasing the progress and development ot this city and will al ways be a lasting monument to tbe unselfish and unqualified generosity ot this estimable gentleman. The town as a whole and each and every dttoen ot th* town to du* him a vote of sincere unmeasured thanks tor hto Interest and th* manifestation ot It. that has been bestowed upon as. Work on this plan will be begun at once and In a few months It will completed sod we will hare the most up to date and elegant thoroughfare of any city In the state sod one which all residents if the city will be proud of. The city which can claim Mr. Strawbrldge as Its cltlezn, should and no doubt does hold him In the highest regard and affection, net only for what be does but for what he hae shown himself time and tlmo again to be, a generous, whole hearted and worthy man.

Louis Steyerman A Pan la k S THE DRAIN UPON THE FORK8TH Since 1880 the sources of lumber •upply have undergone remarkable changes, The first change was In the regions from which the principal kinds of lumber were produced, and this was followed by the substitution of other kinds of wood In their places. Neither the centers of the lumber Industry nor the leading classes of wood are the same as they were twenty-five years sgo. In 1880 nine states—Michigan, Pennsylvania Wisconsin, New York, Texas, Arkan sas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Wash- lngton—produced 52.8 per cent, or more than ball of the total lumber production of the United State*. 1805 these state* produced 51.5 per cent, prectlcally the same proportion but the change* which have taken place In the output of Individual states are very striking. Michigan, for Instance, cut 23 per cent of the total In 1880 and hut 6.5 per cent In 190$: Louisiana cut 0.7 per cent ot the total In 1880 and 7.5 per cent I 1)05; Washington furnished but 0.9 per cent of the lumber production of 1880 and 11.5 per cent of that of 1908. The cutting out of the vir gin timber In the north and east has been followed by Increasing drains upon tha forest resources of the south and west Despite these conditions the •meant ot timber required has In creased year by year. 1 As you all know our entire stock of Clothing is marked in plain figures For instance you know that for a suit marked $25,00 every one Paid $25.00 and were Pieasea and sat isfied The $25.00 Suits For $18.90 ‘ 22.50 44 “ 16.90 “ 20.00 44 “ 15.90 “ 18.90 44 “ 14.90 16.90 44 “ 12-90 “ A 0.00 44 “ 7.90 “ 7.90 44 5.90 Our entire stock of extra pants and knee »pants suits will go at same reduction, Also our entire line of wool Underwear.
