It has been it long timu since the people of Mfloun had Midi an opportu- Oily iih that which will bn afforded them tonlitbt. Secretary Smith and Mr. Atkinson tire both very Stung men, nnd the foremost leader* In lid* aiffto, of tbo young and nggress've Democ racy to which tJotrgla must lmtncdl- ntely look for nafety mid good govern ment. ■Mr. Smith apeak* for till national Democracy, a* repwwulotl in tho ex ecutive branch o( the government, and t'rlngu a message which every Demo crat should be eager to bear. He stand* for the policies which wo iimlcrstnnd to mean party unity and national proa- jierily. Thera 1* no mail In tloorgla who o<|Kiiind« niul defoudn these ivoll- clea with greater force or more con vincing 'urgtimt-iit than Mr. Smith, llo speak* from the firm conviction of tlio tnilli anti wisdom of 111* cause Ihut give* power to the spanker. During the preUnmuny campaign. Mr. Atkinson spoke twice in Macon, and onr citizens* know hi* quality a* a political fighter. Ho ha* few equal* cn the stump. On •!>'* occasion, however, Mr. Atkinson will speak for the party and not for ltimself. Ill* speech** made alneo hla tutiutaatloii *Uow that he has been aide to rise to the level of Id* «renter opportunity. They are wor thy of the candidate of tho parly In matter and manner. These distinguished gentlemen are entitled to a cordial welcome and re spectful hearing In Macon. Onr eltl- steu* should turn out uu mttnao to meet them tonight at Hie Wndley monument. A small audience, even though there are powerful counter ntlrae.thins, will l«> dlsiredllublo to tho city. Wo bop> every Democrat In the City will bo present, for 111* own profit nnd entertainment, but also for the .credit of the city. Till’. REASON WHY.’" Among thq bill* Introduced by tho Western Populist* In : m.arena was uno providing that the government nssu-.m- tile mortgage* on fann* and allow tho mortgagors twouty year* tn which to pay up, charging in tho inenuilmo 1 per cent. Interval on tuo loan. It ha* Is-on estimated that moro than ten bll- llou* of dollars would lie required to carry this law Into effect. Ttiere Is no doubt but that It would lie u pleasant thlug for tho farmers of tho iv.untry to have their debt* paid by Uncle Sam. In fact it 1* safe to as sume that then- aro few of u» In any of the walks of life who would object to the government, assuming >mr debts, giving ua twenty years lu which to re pay tho money, with an tnto-est charge of only 1 pee cent, per anuum. It muat be remembered, however, that .those billion* of dollar* b.tTe got t<> be paid by taxation, niul tho taxes are to bo levied without reference to the amount owed. A few figure* tnken from the census report* may not bo unluterratiug to tho people of Georgia in this Connec tion. According to tho census report* on this subject, which are approximate ly correct, the average por capita of mortgage indebtedness lu the United Stati-s I* ftML The per capita of mart- g.tgi> drht in Cteorstv la $15. In other words, the people of Georgia would bo taxed $*H1 apiece to carry out oa* scheme, while they would nwtre of tho amount raised only $15. Does this strike tho ettturns of Georgia as a good Investment? ...... ‘Examine the figure* further and we get this result, comparing the thirteen Southern state* with thirteen Western states in which the Populists are strong: MORTGAGE lNnunTEDNKSS PER CAPITA OF POPULATION. Southern Stale*—Texas. Mi: Florida. Mo; Alabama. XM: Wret Ylrctnta. (31; Ken tucky, IS: Louisiana, nt; Tana can. X3: Virginia. II*; Mississippi, tit; UeotgU. Hi; Arkansas, 111; North Carotin*.

This show* that the averagn mortgage Jadobtedncs* la the thirteen Western state* In which tbo Populists arc strong est, tlic only section of the country lu which they are strong enough lo'oleet representatives In congress, United State* Lena tore or guveruoia, is nearly four time* as grf.it as it Is in the South ern states. • This hill would be a mighty good thing for the people In the Went, who would get $li*l for every $1*1 they paid In taxes, but where would the Southern people he benefited when they would get hack only $22 for every $IK> they paid? Doesn't that sir.he our Southern Populists a» a one-sided'arrangement? If the figure* for Colpratlg, *olldly Populist, are compared with those for Georgia' the contrast Is striking. The mortgage indebtedness of Colorado is nearly fourteen times greater tlura that of Georgia. Kansas pefiriy twelve times as great and Nebraska more than eight times tut great. All these 4rc Populist state*. Of course there le not' the remotest probability Hint this megnire will evi-r lieemne a law, but it indicates what kind of relief the farmers of Georgia huve to expect from the Populist party should It by tiny freak of fortune suc ceed in getting control of the govern ment. What Is true of the mortgage bill I* true of about every measure proposed by the Populists In congress. Tbo Southern people are to pay tlielr full alinre of the taxes, while four-fifths of the money le to go to the West. The following paragraph front the Swalnsboro Pine Forest is of similar Import to others lu various papers In souUt Georgia; “Dill Kemp and 111* lieutenants have adopted tho plan ot "swearing In” the colored people to support tho third party. They swore In a crowd In the Uftleth dis trict a Tew nights ago nnd there told thorn that it would ho perjury to vote for a Democrat." Our Populist fricud* may think It is good politics to organize tho negroes lu the'black belt Into secret oath-bound societies, but if they arc no: careful It will not lie many day* .before they may find they lmvc created a Frank- ct-steln, who will create havoc in Georgia. Tho Georgia editor ncems disposed to give a warm welcome to tile British lynching Investigating committee If It klmuld come to this section, itoally It Is a piece of Insufferable Impertlnenco for this committee to come to tills coun try on such an errand. Wo hnvo rocked along for nearly a century and a quarter without the aid of Great Brit ain, nnd If they don’t llko our way of runniug things on the ntliir side of tbo water, wo ore sorry but wo can’t help It. - , The Telegraph hopes that the nnthor- tlcs In Bibb couuty will see their way clear to allow tlic Pqpullsts a repre sentation on the election beard. It will not make a difference of a vote in the county and will put an effectual quietus on till* eternal cry of fraud after tho election. The Democrats can carry Bibb by 3,500 majority If ovoijy Demo crat In tho oounty does Ills; duly ns easily with a Populist m every pulling plnrc ns it cau without. lloit. Jerry Hollis of Bibb county has n-unonnecd ltimself as a candidate' for tho position of principal keeper of tho penitentiary. There are few men in Gcargtn, not In public life, .who have n widef circle of acquaintance* than Mr. IIollls, or who Is more universally liked. Should Governor Atkinson sco his way clretr to nppoint 5!c. IIollls,,It would be gratifying to hi* many friends, uud the office would bo filled to tbo eat- Isfactlou of the people of {be state. The Louisiana sugar planters are mad bemuse tho govormneut won’t ’give thorn 3 cent* a pound bounty on their sugar, Why should they be nay moro cuutlcd to a bouuty than tho Georgia cotton farmers? Ttiyre Is a* much profit In sugar raising without the bounty a* there Is lu cotton raising. If not It will he nn easy matter for tho l-oulslana uu'ii to plant their vane land* In cotton. The State press Is practically unani mous in favor of tho Increase In the number of supreme court Judges. There Should lie no question ot the adoption of the constitutional amendment pro viding for this Increase. It U a matter of prime necessity. With Hoke Smith nnd W. Y. Atkin son to speak together lu Maron Mon day night, a genuine Democratic re vival Is a foregone conclusion, arid those who congregate about tho Wad- ley monument will bo amply repaid. How much of that $2,500,000,000 which the Populists propose to give tn pensions to Unhm soldiers would Geor gia pay and how murh would olio get lurk? Will some Populist authority please answer? Don’t fall to pay your taxes this week. The payment of last year’s taxes is a pre-requisite to voting, and every good elttxeo of Georgia owes It to himself and to the stats to vote on Oc tober 8.

"Thanks to the harmony between offi cial and national feeling, the Polish ques tion Is no longer a source of danger. The press has lately been much occupied about the kaiser's expression in regard to the possibility of the nobility opposing the emperor.

The west Prus sians, he said, had also brought their best processions—their wives and daugh ters. Prince Bismarck, by way of reply to this address, kissed several of the wives and daughters. This was a signal for a gen eral advance of ladles eager to be kissed by the ex-chancctlor, and Dr. Schwennlng- er was obliged to stop forward- and dis suade them from ihelr purpose, i’rlnce Bis marck then raid: "Ladles, don’t think that you West Pruseiona have a monop oly of good husbands.

No reports -of serious dam age have b’een received from this sec tion nnd the fury of the elements seems to -have been-spent with 'the destruc tion of Spring Valley. Here four per sons are dead. Some severely hurt, While Uhe property loss Is eUitmUlted ot 385.000,000, the residence portion of We -town lying directly in 'the path of the cydlone. At Leroy, lying Southwest, four are dead vJnd several fatally Injured. The destruction of property amounlts to about 375,000. It wus a heavy blow to the village, for Its chief business houses lie in ruins. Five miles north of Osage. Ia., six persons were killed nnd a large number were hurt. The destruction of firm property Is quite heavy, but no eskimuites have been made.
