W• * have never invited news-j paper controversies, because of: their unending tendency and the; personal feelings engendered ; and wn trust that the proper construc tion will be placed ujhui any nmt-i ti*r nf tlti~ class appearing in thie pa]ter from time to time. I hi* Hush of matter is eomniercially ruled and paid for accordingly. Tin* opinions and aeiit iment ol the paper arc expressed alone by its editor uinl owner, and not throghh communications of a personal nature over the signature of other men. Plain enough, is it not? The Dublin Times used some strong language in regard to local concerns and public officials send-- ing t heir orders for job work oil to other places when the local 1 plants could handle these orders just, as well. The Enterprise j known <>f noon* ni6ii in Meltue mid some public officials who have recently scut their ol der* for stationery outside of Me lon*. Vet these men would think very strange of the Enterprise if H advised people to go to cities or neighboring town to do their trad ing, of if it advised that the j people of this county let, the folks j in other counties do the voting for certain officials when they offered j again for election. I Ins would j sound strange and unpatriotic. Polks expect a paper to preach home trade uml potronugo of home j enterprises and papers do this ns a rule. Hut it is blasted discour ugeing to try to do this for people who practice to the contrary. The Dublin Times preached a ser mon that would tit some folks in Meltue. —Enterprise. GIFTS WITH STRINGS TO THEM. The Home Tribune culls upon the people of that town and of tieorgin to raise SSO,<XH> tor the Berry school for poor mountain boys. The occasion of this call is the otter of Mr. Andrew Car negie and Mrs. Bussell Sage to give sls,oooeach if the school can raise $50,000 more and matte a land of SIOO,(KXL The Telegraph not long ago gave in its Inlitnri&l columns some interesting tacts about t Ins school and its founder, j Miss Martha Berry, who is said to have devoted Iter whole private fort-turn of $100,OU) to the work. All the accounts indicate that ! this school is well worthy ol the I proposed endowment, hut it i» usking'u good deal of Miss Horry that she go out, or send out, and raise $50,000 for her school alter sho has spent SIOO,OOO of her own money. Raising such sums in n pint of the country where tariff-made millionaires are not plentiful is not as easy a* Mr. Carnegie supposes. Moreover, when In* gave Tuskegee SGOO,IKK> a few years ago, he did not re quire that Booker Washington raise another $000,OlX), and all t mt Booker Washington is doing f>r young negroes Miss Berry is doing for her white mountain waifs, with the added benefit to them of association with a lady! of her character. Mr. Carnegie's pi hoy is to give half a library on condition that the benefited t-own will give the other half, and in this way there can be twice as many “Carnegie librarie*." as there w ould be other wise. It must be admitted that there is the further advantage of stirring public spirit in the bene fited towns, though some towns have been known to tax them selves beyond their ability in or der to raise the other half of the fund and maintain the institution from vmr to year. But this poli cy does not seem quite fair in the caw* of a school such as Miss Berry's.—Macon Telegraph. HUDSON TO MAKE RACE FOR CONGRESS, Atlanta, May 22. —There does not appear to be any doubt about the fact that Commissioner of Agriculture T. O. Hudson is going to be in the race for con-1 gress m the Third congressional j diet rict. He is telling his friends , everywhere that lie is squarly in i it. Mr. Hudson has put maiiyofi his friends on notice, and present j indication are that the race in the I Third will be between him and | Congressman Dudley M. Hughes I of Tw iggs county. rims Congressman Hughes finds a hot contest on his hands almost , before he enters upon his emigres- j sional service. Helms participated only in the extra session now in ! progress. Mr. Hudson is known as a j splendid polit ician,and with these i two in the race, there is no doubt it will be a battle royal. The question has arisen as to j whether Mr. Hudson will resign the office of commissioner of ag- I rieulture because ol Ins congress ional race, before the expiration of his term. There is no special i reason why he should do so unless 1 he should find it. necessary to give lull of his time to the congreasion | al fight. Still there are some candidates ; for the position of commissioner ;of agriculture, who are speculat ing upon the idea that he may j resign and are already at work en deavoring to bring influence to | bear in favor of their appoint- I incut. INVITED TO GENEVA. Savannah, Ga., May 21.—The • general assembly of the Presby terian church in the United States j in session here today, received an | invitution from Geneva inviting tin* body to attend the Calvin 'celebration at St. Pierre cathedral ill .1 line. A resolution was adopted call ing on t he president and the state department at Washington to in tervene for the protection of the two American missionaries, Dr. William M. Morrison uml Dr. W. 11. Sheppard, in the Congo Free State. These men are under indictment for criminal libel on account of an art icle published in a missionary magazine about one |of the concessionary rubber com i panics, operating m the Congo. EXPRESS RETURNS SHOW DECREASE. Atlanta, May 21.—The returns i of t he Southern Express Company as made to the comptroller gener al Thursday,show a large decrease -below those of last year. The tangible property of the* coiiibiinvis returned at a valua tion $I PI ,:*95, as against $205,498 in l'.HiS. a decrease of $101,558. No return i> made forthe franchise but it will be made later. In UK IS it was assessed at $058,607. A return for S2OO,IHX> for intan gible property in Augusta, made j under an agreement entered into ! several years ago, is made as us ual. _ SLAIN WOMAN IS FOUND IN NEW MADE GRAVE. Americas, tin., May 21.—A murder, unusually atrocious, was revealed tins morning when the mutilated body of Estelle Lollis, colored, was found in a newly made grave in the Hiiguenin plan tation. The woman's head was beaten to pieces with an axe handle. In the grave were blood stained clothes, said t-o belong to Henry Shivers, the pair having lived together. Shivers has departed, with the j sheriff in pursuit. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—TiI f’Kf-’DAY, MAY 27, 10f«9> GOTTON SEED OIL CAUSED j LIVELY TIME IN SENATE. Washington, May 22.—A com mittee amendment proposing a duty of three cents a gallon on cotton seed oil precipitated a live ly debate in the senate this after-! noon. Chairman Aldrich of the finance! committee proposed the amend ment as a new section to the bill, and instantly Southern senators sat up to take notice. Senators Tillman, Bacon and Money interposed serious objec-l tion to the amendment and Sena tor Beveridge also offered opposi i tion. Senator Smoot joined Al- Ulrich is trying to defend the com nnttee’s action. Because of the unanimity of objection from the j j South and the prolonged debate; that was threatened, Mr. Aldrich * finally withdrew the amendment, 'and cotton and oil will remain on j the free I ist. The present law places a duty jof four cents a gallon on cotton seed oil. The Payne bill placed I the product on the free list and j the finance committee left it in this shape until today, when Mr. Aldrich offered the committee j amendment for three cents a gal lon. Mr. Smoot, in explainng the action of the committee, said it was feared that the pauper labor !of Europe would come in compe tition with the free labor of the South, lb* said he had been so' informed. “Well, anybody who told you that lied and be knew he was lying j when lie said it,,” exclaimed Mr.! Tillman. “The idea of any’ labor i competing with the negro labor of the South in making cotton j and cotton seed oil is prepos- J | terous.” MORRIS COHEN FINED IN SUPERIOR COURT Atlanta, Ga., May 21.—Morris j Cohen, u well known Decatur St. merchant w»s fined SI,OOO by Judge W. D. Ellis, in the superior court today for violating the pro hibition law. The alternative sen tence is twelve months on the 1 chuingang. Cohen luib become known as the j king of local blind tigers, as he lias been regularly fined every | month or so since the prohibition law went into effect. About a half jdozen sentences given in the re corder’s court are hanging over | him, but lie has never served one j of them. The recent decision of the court 'jof appeals upholding the heavy penalties given blind tigers by Recorder Broyles leads the pro hibitionists to hope that some pro nmient members of the blind ti gor tribe will be compelled to ! serve a sentence some time in the future. Despite tho activity of local officials and courts, no vio lator having means to keep up the fight lias yet been forced to the stockade or the chauigang. GREENE-GAYNOR BOND TO BE PAID. New York May 21.—A decision handed down today by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals affirming a ruling of Judge Hough, probably means that, after one of the most stubbornly contested suits on record, the government will be able to obtain the forfei ture of the SBO,OOO bail in the cases of Greene and Guvnor, the two men convicted several years ago of trends in government har bor contracts. Today s decision was in the suit of the government against the estate of James D. Leary, who was on the bond of Benjamin Greene, and sustained judgment in favor of the grovernment by .Judge Hough. The Circuit Court of Ap peals iu today’s decision held that the bond was legally forfeited when Green failed to appear iu court, and the decision in this ease, which was made as a test, will be applied by the federal au thorities to the proceedings 1 against Guvnor's bondsmen. * Notice.
