NOTICE.
All legal advertisements published in
Tar NEws must be paid for, hereafter, in
advance. The officers, as well as the
publisher, have experienced considerable
trouble in making collections for official
notices,and in a number of instances have
been unab'e to collect at all. This rule
will strictly be adhered to, and to avoid
delay and trouble all interested should,
in the future, send the cash with the
copy for such advertisements.
WILL DQ HIS DUTY.
The Macon Evening News doubtless
meant well, but we never would have
thought of making for Judge Griggs the
defense which we give below from that
paper:
We have heard it insinuated that
Judge Griggs’ ambition to represent his
district in congress may cause him to go
slow in uphoiding the law against such a
formidable political faction in Clay
county—the relatives and friends of Tur
per McAilister. We hold this insinuation
to be unjust and uncalled for. It has
been our honor to know personally and
well Jim Griggs for a number of years,
and if he has ever been found lacking in
that quality vulgarly called backbone,
his friends have never found it out. It
is only a natural thing that a man of
Judge Griggs’ talents and well recognized
ability should be ambitious in a political
way, but he is one of those Davy Crock
ett sort of fellows who first make sure
they're are right then go ahead—that
quality which distinguishes the states
man from the politician. Judge Griggs
can be relied upcn to do his duty if
every citizen of Clay county were Turner
McAllister's double first cousin.
The Macon News intended to say and
do something nice for the able young
jurist of (he Patauia cirouit, but the
compliment is a very doubtful one. By
some it may be regarded as a sign of
doubt on the part of the Macon News as
to whether or not Judge Griggs will
faithfully discharge his duty, and as an
effort from that paper to prod him np
to perform it. Such prodding is entirely
uncalled for, and Judge Griggs, after
reading *he words of the News, may b
tempted to exclaim: ‘“The good Lord de
liver me from my friends.”
Judge Griggs is no trimmer, and he
would scorn to prostitute his high office
to further his political a ivancement. He
may or he may not desire to represent
the second district in congress. He has
not said so, and all such talk is by other
people. If he does, however, he will
make an honest fight for such honors
when the time comes. He will not be
influenced from discharging, impartially,
his obligatinns as an officer of the law by
neither flattery nor the fear of political
injury,
EXCESSIVE AGITATION.
‘The people have heard much of ‘‘cam
paigns of education,” in which the voters
were to be tanght the merits and demerits
of the parties whose candidates were be
fore the country for election or defeat.
The people haye been educated on polit
ical lines, but much error has been taught.
The teachers have been politicians, and
the opposing candidates and the party
they represented were held up as models
of deceit and corruption. This method
is not calculated to inspire confidence in
men or parties, and the spirit of suspicion
is greatly developed. If our party suc
ceeds, we watch the representatives to
see if what the other fellows said will be
proven true, and if the other party gets
in of course we expect wrong-doing all
along the line of official jperformance.
The effect has been bad continually, and
the lack of confidence has been augment
ed by the instrument that should have
labored most earnestly to allay It.
Theire is an opportunity now for a
discontinuance of this hurtful agitation,
and it is hoped we will have a rest.

NexT Wednesday the women are going
to get out an issue of the Albany Herald.
The women pay the expenses and are
entitled to the receipts. This is busi
ness, and Editor Mclntosh will probably
be winner 1n the contest. If the dear
women would ask it, the genial Henry
would doubtless turn over the whole
paper on similar terms for the whole of
dull months,
< Ly
Yar horrible report sent out that
President Cleveland had actually sprain
ed an ankle is not true. All that ails the
presidential foot is the need of a little
exercise in kicking out the army of mug
wumps in fat offices.
: WE BELIEVE IN LAW.
The Macon Telegraph had a special
correspondent in Dawson to report the
proceedings of the commitment trial of
J. T. McAllis‘er, of Fort Gaines, for the
killing of Judson Hyatt. In the course
of the special seut from here by that
correspondent the following occurs in
speaking of the number of people who
thronged the streets while McAllister
was on his way to the court house from
the train:
“There was a repressed feeling mani
fested on all sides, for in this place the
friends of Judson Hyatt are numbered
by the hundreds. To their credit, how
ever, no hostility was manifested when
McAllister put in an appearance.”
It is true tbat Hyatt had many friends
in Dawson, but ‘he insinuation that any
hostility would be shown McAllister is
without any excuse. He was a prisoner
in the hands of the law, and our people
are law abiding folks. THE DAwsoxN
NEws failed to see or hear of any repress
ed feeling of any kind whateyer. The
truth is, the crowd which gathered on
Ihe streets only came together out of
curiosity to see what mauner of man it
was about whom so much had been
written of late. ¢‘Only that and notbing
more."’
In this connection we would brief
ly notice the may be pardonable but
misdirected vehemence which the Tele
graph and some other papers have dis
played in trying to shape public opinion
over this unfortunate affair. If men are
to be tried by every drift of public senti
ment we will find the innocent suffering
murder at the hands of mob violence
today and the guilty escaping unwhipped
of justice tomorrow. The supremacy of
the iaw is the only safe and unerring
guide in all such mat‘ers.
Let it be asserted in this.

Tae man Sibley whois persona non
grata to Stewart, Jones and other lead
ing silver men, is named for the presi
dency by a bakel's dozeun'of nondescripts
at Washington, and Sibley talks. He
boasts that his organization will have
about sixteen months advantage of the
other parties in boosting itself. Tt is
already in the ring and expects to keep
up a vigorous and continuous contention
for sixteen to one silver dollars in
illimitable quantities. We are disposed
to believe that the more months Mr.
Sibley’s party has to spare to the war
fare the less party Mr. Sibley will have,
Tuey are still having politics and
some war in the famous seventh
district. In Kome, Friday,'while evi
dence jwas being taken in thejMaddox-
Felton contest Colonel Seab Wright
smote ‘Judge Joel Branham’s jaw with
the palm of his hand. With tears in
her eyes Sister Felton mounted a stand
and pleaded for peace, which was soon
restored and the taking of testimony re
sumed. No further hostilities are ap
prehended.
A MERCHANT: of San Francisco has
posted a ‘proclamation’ in which he
advocates the formation of a Pacific
Republic. It might not be a bad idea
for the Pacific states to be allowed to
quietly secede from the union, and then
the agitators could set up a government
for themselves. This great union is tvo
unwieldy and the sectional interests too
varied and antagonistic.
A comMmITTEE of Massachusetts legis
lators came to Georgia a few days ago to
inyestigate the cause of the removal of
the cotton mills to the south. If any
mills really left New England for the
suth they were lust or stolen on
the way, and should be advertised for.
None have arrived in this God-favored
country.
IT seems that we are never to get over
politics. This was to be an off year, and
it is not so at all. McKinley emissaries
are already laying the fires for a cooked
delegation from Georgia to the next re
publican cornvention for the apostle of
high tariff and priest of governmental
robbery.
A SpANisy ship fired on an American
vessel a few days ago and Secretary
Gresham has demanded an apology from
that government, and insists that it be
made in a hurry, too. Uncle Sam has
woke up, and is showing some aggres
siveness. We like to see it.
Tueg women of Ohio refuse to give
their ages when they come forward to
register. They say it is no business of
the registrars; and when you think of it,
itisn’t. We are with the women.
BRADSTREET says the new era of pros
perity and business activity has already

that Brads‘reet knows.

At North Haven, Conn., a littlé or
phan girl, Lillian McMullen, 15 years
old, lived and worked in the family of
Mr. Gordon. The people of North Ha
ven cross Peconic bay to Shelter island
to make their household purchases.
They usually travel on the ferryboats.
But during the cold weather the bay
was frozen completely over, and it was
necessary to cross to Shelter isiand on
the ice on foot. :
One day after the weather had mod
erated slightly Lillian McMullen took
her employer’s little children, 8 and 10
years of age, and walked acress on the
ice to Shelter island. They did their
trading and were returning home. Half
way across Lillian stepped into an air
hole and went into the water. The two
little girls tried to help her out, but the
ice broke, and they went down, too, in
to the chilling water. Lillian gave up
trying to save herself and thought only
of the children. She held. fast to the
edges of the ice. As one piece broke,
she grasped another and held on. She
told the girls to climb upon her shoui
ders and get upon the firm ice. They
did so, and at length both were safe.
Then she ordered them not to come
near her any more. Then, weak and be
numbed and nearly frozen, she lost her
hold and was borne rapidly away un
der the ice, to be seen no more alive.

A MAssACHUSETTS man swallowed a
lot of silver and an exchange charges
him with being a gold bug and bent on
contracting the currency. It thinks the
rascal must have been in the pay of the
mHney sharks to thus attempt to deprive
the country of the necessary circulation.
The rascal was from Massachusetts, and
we are pleased to be able to state that
he is dead anl will not be able to assist
in creating a monetary panic. His fate
will be discoaraging to others, and that is
some satisfaction.—Eufaula Times,
REvV. ToM DixoN, the sensational New
York preacher, who exchanged compli
ments with kev, J. B. Hawthorne some
time ago, has sensated again. He has
withdrawn from his congregation, and
will withdraw from the Baptist church
and set up another institution of hisown.
He will preach ‘‘Christ” only, and have
no other creed or articles. Rev. Tom is
d übtless out for the ‘‘stuff.”
Tue Georgia darkies who were carrol
ed on the wharves of Savannah, all
anxious to go to Africa, have had a rough

If they do succeed in getting off, they
will long to see the country where the
cotton blossoms bloom before they get
back.
JouN L. SULLiVAN, who returned to
Boston last week with empty pockets,
Las made and spent over $500,000 in the

money, sometimes spending $lO,OOO in a

over, and hereafter he must be content
with dollars where he once had eagles.
MANY counties of tlLe state are work

TuE end of the world is to come on
April 53, 1903, according to a German

NEWS AND VIEWS.
—Tt is said that a Denver woman pro
poses to start a paper to be known as
“The Kiss.”” If the editor is pretty there
will be no doubt about the size of the
subscription list.
—A whale has been captured neac Bos
ton which had in his body a harpoon
with the date 1853 on it. This seventy
foot monster of the deep had worn this
fre ful jewel over 30 years.
—Two preachers, officers in a church
society in New York, have been robbing
a missionary fund for ten years. They
got something over thirty thousand
dollars and succeeded in creating a great
scandal,
—Louisian . has nolaw against prize
fighting. One of the state’s judges has
characterized the statute that attempted
to prohibit the prize ring as a piece of
mendacity. He held that it clearly allow
ed what it sought to prohibit.
—Mrs. Willie Vanderbilt is a most in
teresting young widow. She is about
thirty-five years old and owns property
to the amount of something like ten
million, which she got in a divorce deal
with “Willie.” Some thoughtful bach
elor might make a note of Mrs, Vs,
charms.
—lln Floyd coun'y, Kentucky, the peo
ple are greatly alarmed over the appear
ance of a strange and fatal malady. The
disease is unlike either smallpox or
cholera, and has become so violent that
even the physiciaus of the surrounding
towns refuse $o visit the victims. The
disease chokes the victim to death,
beginning in the stomach aud rising to
the throat.
Salt For Insanity.
A physician, in treating an insane pa
tient, found it admirable to make use of
subcutaneous injections of salt. The pa
tient bad obstinately refused all nour
\ ishment, and the salt was given as an
} experiment in nutrition, this treatment
having been made use of some time pre
viously. To the doctor’s surprise,sorie
of the worst symptoms of insanity dis
appeared. Further trials convinced the
faculty of the value of this discovery,
and, according to all indications, there
is in this coarse the germ of a discovery
that will entirely revolutionize the
treatment of the insane. We are told
that the human body consists of about a
dozen elements. When these are present
in too great quantity or are lacking, we
are ill. The great art is to decide just
what element needs regulating. When
this is done, we are restored to health.
