ATTENTION! LADIES! * A YEAR’S SUBSCRIPTION TO THE HERALD FREE! «• Several of the Herald's exchanges aud many of its readers, have the prewiion that I control its political pol icy. To set at rest this erroneous im pression, I will say that I aiu not respon sible for the editorial utterances of the Herald. Mrs. K. L. Reed is manag ing editor, and controls its policy, within the lines of a contract made with the Herald Publishing Co., which requires that the pa|H*r shall be Democratic. It is known that 1 am indepeudant in pol itics, ami declined to subject myself to the test oath demanded at the recent Democratic primaries. Further tliau this it is of little consequence to the readers of this paper what my political predilections may be. My connection with the Herald as stockholder, direc tor and leasee, is to further the interests of Way cross and the surrounding coun try by giving the people a good weekly uewspaper. While politically I shall probably not be in accord with the Hkkali>, I shall be always ready to further its efforts towards the material development of this splendid section. H. W. Reed. Like a Romance. Atlanta Constitution. The progress of the south since Apjio- mattox has no parallel outside of romance. In 1865 we had no mouey, no credit, no hojM*. Many of our cities < ashes, our plantation* were wrecl our railways were worn out. To-day we have a land of |K*ace and plenty, 43,000 miles of railway, average percentage of increase of |>er capita wealth for the decade ending 181*0 was 100 |**rcent. more than that of New England or the central west. We are drawing capital and making capital. Ten years ago we had 220 n banks; now we have 590. The |»ercentage of the increase reign exjiorts is al*out five times the >mbined gain at the other parts of the country. A few days ago we showed by reliable tistics that we have fewer failures with smaller liabilities in the south than in other sections. We showed, too, that in development and production our pro gress had lH*en phenomenal, and that the growth of our diversified uianfactures made a total during the past five years of over 17,*HH» new industries. "Now, take this fact—since 1888 our assessed property has increased $1,000,- 000,0lW in value, according to the reports for 1890 ! When a section can accompli much in twenty-seven years—starting with only battlefields and ruius for as —the outlook ought to be bright. It is bright, and growing brighter, we make the fight on the right line we smash the republican party this year, and even if we fail, it will take a bigger than Benjamin Harrison to block oi ward march. Ix>ok at it as you will, the rising south is now in a positiou to hold her own, and seize her share of fortune' gift". The movement now on foot, bert A. Pope, of Bo«tou, Mass., “to make a comprehensive exhibit of ini|i roads and road-making machinery World’s Columbian Exposition,’ cry laudable enterprise. “An exhibition of this kind would benefit this country incalculably, and its effect would last as long as roads are used. It would give a great impetus to the movement now being made, to have I interstate roads provided aud main tained by national legislation.’’ Mr. Pope’s idea is as follow*: To construct some of tbe mads adjacent to the Exposition groumL* in accordance with the most approved system used in Europe ami this country. Cross sections of these roads should be shown in some suitable place, together with the best machinery for preparing the material, making, and taking care of roads. Stone crushers, steam rollers, street sweeping, watering carts, etc., should be included in this exhibit. To meet the expenses of such an exhibit, and to provide the necessary building and to attend to all tbe details so as to bring it to a success ful issue, it would lie advisable to form an association and invite all }K*rsons in terested in good roads to join and to send in subscriptions. The railroad comj»anies, agricultural societies, car riage builders, builder* of road-makiug machinery, furnishers of paving mater ial, owners and lovers of horses, bicycle riders, with es|»eeial emphasis on tlu foregoing, and the public generally, would probably Ik* willing to contribute We are making the unparalleled offer of Four Choice Books, worth $1.00 at regular newsdealer’s rates, to every new subscriber to the Herald.

It does not do so now, be cause the statute books are lull of unjust and defective laws. Some of these laws are the result of the financial distress of the government during the war. Con gress was obliged t j offer inducements for loam*. and one of the inducements w-as the exemption from taxation of gov ernment bonds. For many years, there fore, the immense volume of private wealth represented by the public debt baa contributed nothing to the support of the national, state or municipal gov ernment*. Unless the taxpayers ftilly compensated by the lower rai interests at which ihe government issue its bonds, this escape from taxa tion of so large a body of wealth great misfortune to them. That they are com|>enaated to a large degree seems certain. Bouds bearing only 3 per cent interest and subject to national, state, county and municipal taxation would not be a desirable investment In cities they could be held only at a loss. The tax rate in Chicago, for instance we believe, more than 4 per cent But in various other ways it ia notori ous that much of the wealth of the country escapes taxation, in this way laying an unequal burden on that por tion which the tax collector ia able to reach. We think it is true that the half of the national wealth held by the poor er of property-holder* pays a larger pro portion of the Uxea than the half held by the richer. This is wrong, but we believe the idea that the conditions should be reversed is a mistaken Wealth, however held, whether in large Macon, Ga., June.—The celebration of July 4th, promises to 1** great. It will take plaee at the Central City Park, and the attractions are sufficiently nu merous to extend throughout the entire day. There will be boat, hurdle and running races; also contest* of every conceivable kind; a wrestling match, fantastic parade, chicken-picken contest, baby show, wheel-burrow race, balloon ascension, baseball game and many other amusements. A cash prize is of fered to the winner in each contest. The declaration of independence will also be read, and there will be daylight fire works. Both literally ami figuratively, ill be a red hot day. An admission fee of twenty-five cents will be charged and the entire proceeds will go to the public library. Excursion trains will probably be. run from surrounding points. This season Macon is in the baseball league, but for some unaccountable reason the Macon team generally get* beat. Still, the games are very exciting, and a* a summer recreation, baseball has been a decided success. Every af ternoon crowds of people can be seen going down to the park to witness the games. The ladies too, appear to be cultivating a taste for this national game, and in their light summer cos tumes form quite an attractive feature; they make the grand stand bright with the fluttering of their fluffy parasols, ribbons and gay fans. The w hole of the long afternoon* spent in the open air l* no inconsiderable gain in the way of re taining health and good looks, and al though they never understand the sci ence of baseball, they are not losers thereby. Memphis ami Macon played a close game on the 17th. Memphis The Macon team left the following day tor New Orleans. On June 24th, tbe public schools closed ; nearly three thousand children and fifty teachers have ended their year’s work, and will now devote themselves to the pleasures of vacation. The gaduat- ing exercises of the High school took place in the Academy of Music. In the primary grades, there were no closing exercises, bat three days of the last week were set apart as patron’s day when par ents and visitors were expected. “The Exhibition will Ik* attended by millions of our citizen*, ami no better op|>ortunity has ever presented itself, or i* likely to present itself, during the lifetime of any one now living, to teach the great lesson of the need, the con struction and the maintenance of good road*. Under the present arrangement and classification of exhibits the oppor tunity will be wholly lost. Any one in terested in the subject aud endeavoring ! to learn what he can as to the l»eat meth- i oils and machinery to be used in the building of a highway, will pTobaldy ‘ consult the one hundred and twenty page catalogue,.*! classification of the “World’s Columbian Exposition.” In this mammoth catalogue it will not only he difficult to find the depart ment in which ceitain things can be found, but hard to find them after oue get* into the right department. In this classifictiou we find agricultural imple ments scattered around in five or six de partments, and the visitor find* that he must go through five enormous building* having with their annexes an aggregate area of seventy-nine and three-tenth acre*. “Some of these buildings are necessarily at long distant’*** from the others, and the pathways between them will Ik* thronged with thousand* of j>er- sons, anti the great difficulty of ever find ing these several special exhibit* is ap parent to any one who has ever attended any of the great ex)»o*itions. The dedi cation of the main building will take place October 12, 18!»2 and the exposi tion is to l»e opened Mar 1st 1893. In these intervening months there is ample time to erect a suitable building in which can be grouped all the things hich would be useful in educating the people how to build good roads. Every state ought to send • in of roads, showing tbe construction best adopted to the particular locality, taking into consideration the most avail able material of which to build roads.” E. T.

A gentleman of many years experi ence in the commercial world, remarked to a Herald reporter yesterday that a better day was coming. Said he: “The people, many of them, have l*eeu crying hard times and doing their best to fight it off, but a brighter day is surely dawn ing ; in fact it is near us—at our very doors. We have so much for which to be thankful, so many blessings to glad den our hearts and cause us to rejoice. The drouth is ended and the prospect for an abumlant yield for the fanner is bright. We have suffered less from the money panic than any other section, and while the great West ha* been visited by cyclones and floods, Georgia has escaped all manner of pestilence aud disaster. In (act we have much cause for being happy.” The Herald concurs in the above sentiment. True it 1*, that these are the best of days. "When the ymrii L* on tl»e melon and the «an b on the blaze. When the birds are pantin.’ ehantin.’ and r ’ rantin’ round the rills. the juice of ripe blackberries je*’ a-drippin’ from their bills.” % It would be so much better if we could look on the bright side of life, always look on the bright side of me, and instead of complaining aud finding fault, scatter bright sunshine along tbe way. Tbe good times are here, and let us “Praise the Lord from whom all blessings flow.” GRAND SALE OF THE RACKET STORE. SELLING-OFF AT COST.
