ITHE GOOD GOVERNMENT I’M KKT
It lx not denied by uuybofly that tho
■Minus of Urn gemlemeu ou tho alder*
Manic ticket offered hy the Good Gov-
eminent Ohilr are those of mtvi wormy,
by reason of they high character, of
(he trust of the people of this city. It
(« not only not denied hi- anybody that
they on\ men of pood character, but it
lx admitted that they are atxo men of
Intell fcnoe. MeutiUed with Macon, and
(With no Inlereala which aro not tho
olty'x Interest*. One of tbo most prom-
Uncut leaders of tbo opposu on to them
has oven said to tho Telegraph that be
Ihouiiht them proper persons to bo al
dermen and would have no objection
■whatever to voting (or them If they
had different Influence* beh'nd them.
All throe facta being true. It scorns
to us that tha oirixeu who has nothing
nt hiNirt except the weifrt.ro of the city
might to see h'.x way clear to voting
(h!a ticket. Tho Influences bound It
oro certainly tho best In this city,
and tho beat in ov*rv city. To ro'usa
lo voto a t ekot made up of men ad
mittedly good, sonny because It Is sup
ported actively by meu who arc also
motive In rellg.ous work, and to votn
In preferonro another ticket, even
though It bo male up of equally good
wen. aolety for the reason that the lat
ter is opposed by men who are active
in furb nvork, seems to us a dehbtnto
preference for the worse of two Infln-
cures
Opposition to a ticket supported as
the Good Gover.im-nt ticket Is, baaed
on the Idea that the result of vlctoiy
would be tbs 'neugunoon of harsh,
raiUe.il measures wou’d be reasonable,
hui the platform of tho Good Govern-
wont Club, and da res i.ntioua adopted
•luoe tha'platform was g.Tcn to tbo

An attempt htt bean mads aul ■» par*
alsicd ii to make it appear that the
Good UoGfernmcift Glob movement' la
a prohibition moremunt In disguise.
No doubt there are problbiuonlats
among those who support the move*
tneut, but tvo do not doubt that there
are far more men among its supporters
who nra not prohibitionist*. Tbo at
tempt la intended to mislead voters,
though it is pertlaps true that some of
the meu who aro nuking It honestly
bslleve what they say, boing naturally
suspicious of the purposes of political
opponent*. It is true, however, as the
Telegraph has aid, that tfie Good
Government Club has no purpose what-
erar, If successful, to Inaugurate a pro
hibition era, or even to advance tlto
liquor license, though ii Is generally art-
mTtefl that that lincnso Is In Macon
too low. Tha purpose of iho club Is ex
actly iwbst It Is snnottuced to be, aDd
nothing else—to put In control of the
city’s affairs meu who can bo depended
upon to enforce with reasonable strict*
ocas the laws already in force. As it
is admitted that ilio men named by the
club are atich men, and aa every good
citizen ought to des.ro tbe enforcement
of tho laws, we sco no reason lor bitter
factional opposition to tho club’s t <;l»ct.
The opposiUoo naturally manifested
by men who do not desire the laws
strictly enforced Is natural enough in
thorn, but we do not seo why ciflxena
who have uo such Interest can sympa
thize with their opposition.
The respectful refusal of tbe club to
withdraw Its candidates *t. this late
day in the campaign seems to us to
hove been the only possible course. To
have withdrawn tbe ticket would have
made It Impossible, very nearly, to
havo secured tho oonscut of meu to be
come canddstcs ou occasions hereafter
when similar movements nmy become
necessary. It Is much better for tho
duh to suffer defeat in the election than
to make reform movements Impossible.
CANADA'S CURRENCY.
Rradsireet's had un instructive aril*
ule on the experience of Canada dur
ing the financial panic which preva led
In this country last year and the de
pression which has followed. There is
s great deal of lusiruciion, wc mini:,
for us Cu that experience. Caunda is
Identified with this country very close
ly commercially aud Industrially. The
ooocttlous which prevail there are very
much the same ns In this country, so
far us they affect commerce and Indus
try, except that Canada has a curren
cy system entirely different from our
owu. Canada had no panic. Not for
a moment did anybody lose eonlidcuec
tn the currency of Ihat country. There
.was no run on the banks. Money did
»0t booemo any scarcer. Uiw.uess
moved along just us smoothly as ever,
tn splto of the fact of tt.o close con
nection oil the Canadian commercial
system with our owu. Since the pan e
In this country was over and during
the pciTod of depression which has fol
lowed, Canada has been In very much
better ooiul.tlnn than the' United
Slates. There has been some falling
off la tho volume of trade, but it is ex
ceedingly slight, compared with that
tn this country. In some bruuches, In
deed, there has boon an Increase iussead
of a decrease, and, on tho whole, tho
business,of the country, as well as Its
currency, has remained In a sound,
healthy and profitable condition.
There ta uo reason for this contrast
In the experience of Caunda aud the
Gulled States except tho contrast In
the currency systems of tho two coun
tries. The faults soil evils of our sys
tem have been much discussed and are
universally admitted to exist. Our
trouble came about largely because lu
tho effort to euro theso faults there
was danger,that our government would
adopt a system far more objectionable
than the one lu existence. That dan
ger has largely passed sway, but nev
ertheless there Is yet doubt whether
congress will consent to the adoption
of sound principles lu tho framing of
the new system which it It adm.ttcd
by overybody must be created. lu view
of this doubt. It seems to us, tho expe-
rlenoo of Onuada Is of very gr.-at value.
It tho Canadian bank ng system pro
tides that country with a currency
which Is abundant to do Its busjiest,
and which Is so well adjusted that even
the greatest pan e of modern times lu
3 great country adjolo.ng Canada, with
which its business Is closely Idenrlfled,
fa ll to shako or disturb tt tn any way,
then It must be a good and a strong
system. It Is certainly worthy of tha
careful study of our Uw makers. The
lUlCmoro plan, so much talke 4 about,
is said to bo largely modeled upon It,
though th* Canadian system does not
provldo for tits redemption ot th* not**
of failed bauks by tho government,
sufficient safeguards are found with
out that provision.
THE WAY TO DO IT.
Th* little city of Gresovtlls, In upper
South Carol it*, baa already tnreo or
four cotton mills which bar* proved
to be profitable Investments. Two ol
ltrge capacity are about to be built.
Work upon them will begin in a few
day*, and eren more mill* are already
n prospect. The GrvenvtUo New*, In
•pnaktug of th* construction ot the two
mltli and of the effort* of the people
to secure yet others, says:
"So Greenville too* there things sure to
look for between now and this time next
year—
“At lout <104.000 tn cash to be paid out
to working people and to be spent here.
"An Incorporated poulstlon or
"Tha addition of 00,000 a month to the
cash tn circulation among oar basinet?.
“A home demand for more than <0.000
bales of cotton—twice as much as our to
ut receipts for this year. .. •
"This la • splendid showing—a gain ot
n per cent. In population, of tHO.OjO In
cash In circulation and of 100 per cent.
In cotton receipt* in a year. It Is real,
too. It la virtually done. No other town
In die South has half ao good on outlook.
"But If we are wise all tbli Is merely a
beginning. There are three, and, perhaps,
four other mill schemes in sight, and we
can realise every one of them. It Is so
far ao toed, but wa can do much more,
con make the outlook so very much more
glorious.
"Our people are in tune now. Let u*
keep It up. We can not afford to lei tho
spirit of enterprise and progress cool.
The Iron I* hut. Let us continue to
strlks.”
Greeny, tie has no advantages wt> cu
Macon does not alio possess, and 1; is
a small town compared with Macon.
Being smaller and presumably with fsr
less capital of Its own than Macon, it
follows that Greenville can do far lees
for Itself In this direction than Macon
can do. Tho News' explanation tuat
tbo tkwpio aro united as tUey have
never been before explains why Green
ville has been able to do so much, and
po uts out the manner in which the
people of Macon can do even more, if
they ov.1l. Atl wo have to do 1s to
work unitedly to develop our resources
anfl take advantage of our opportuni
ties to make Macon the great city It
should be. Every elf zon ought to licop
this fact In rolufi. Ottr city cannot be
come what we all bellevo it should bo
without die help of all her clt xcns.

"Tlieu it Is true that you are to take

THE KNOCK-OUT BLOW.
What a Baltimore Physician and Athlete
Soya
"Why Is a blow upon the angle of a
man'a Jaw-the knock-out blow of pugll-
Ists-so effective and what Is the Imme
diate result of euch a Wow?"
In view of the recent death of Con
Rlordan after a boxing bout with Cham
pion Fitzsimmons tbe queitlon was put
to Dr. B. Men-el Hopklnioa, himself an
athlet, and also tho president
die Baltimore Athletic Club. Dr. Hopkln-
**“ has given etudy to anatomy and phy-
Hoiogy In their relation to athletic exer-
oiee*. Ha said:
"It Is somewhat difficult, without en-
technicalities, to de.cribs
properly the knock-out Wow. The ekull
rest* upon the 'atlae,' the Bret of th*
bone* of tte vertebrae of the neck. The
artculatlon or Joint Is simply by means
of a contact with the condyles or oro-
tuberanoes at the base ot the skull with
two facets on the atlas. This arrange
ment is rn-st favorable for movement of
the heed, but Is susceptible of disloca
tion.
"Immedlalel.v at the base of the skull
Is the foramen magnum—the great hole—
which forms the passageway between the
ekull cavity and the spinel canal. Through
this pats me spinal portion of tho great
central nervous system and the vetcbral
1 • aeries.
"A blow delivered upon tho angle of
tbe Jaw is. of couree. given directly *t
rig#', angles to the passageway between
rh* I,?dy and l.nttn.througti which passage
run the wonderfully delicate structures.
Now. owing to the slender Joint of (he

must csccssartly bo very weak, and a
Uew. sven chough a light one. Is capa
ble of producing so great a shock that a
man ran readily be rendered unconscious
by Its effect.
"An experiment Is very simple. Let any
one strike himself a quick blow Just at
the angle of his Jaw and ho will find-'.that
ho is dazed Just in proportion to the
amount of force applied. That It is pos
sible to kill a nioei by such a blow has
bix-n demonstrated more than once, and
more Is the pity that such a thing ran
bo recorded lu the realtal ot the so-called
amusements.
"I do not boileve that a man in good
physical tratnuig, wit healthy heart and
arteries and well nourished nervous sys
tem, could be destroyed hy such a Wow
from another man who Is his physical
equal, but It would not tako a sledge
hammer blow delivered upon the angle of
tho Jaw to produce a thrombus or blood
clot at the base of the barln of a man
whose heart, arteries and nervous sys
tem had been weakened by alcoholic or
other excesses.
"Temporary knock-outs occur daily land
fatal cases are of rare occurrence. Indeed,
the proportion of deaths as compared
with horse racing or football Is ridicu
lously small. Any man entering tho pu
gilistic ring Is liable to receive a blow
which will Tut hi m to sleep.' and the
duration of unconsciousness Is altogether
proportioned to the science of the deliv
ered blow, the position of the man
struck and the amount of force applied.
••Gehring, in our own city, was com
pletely knocked out by Abbott about swo
weeks ago. Slavtn stopped KUrain In the

LOVERS OF RARE LACES.
Treasure* From Italy Furnish Them Ma
terial for Envy.
It Is tbe charming personality of the
Countess dl Brasa whch haa made tn*
lmere.it In Italian lace* so mtuked knee
the great exhibit of the World * Fair.
Her persistent jfforts and delightful talk*
im the subject of old and new lace in Italy
have aroused the desire of those who ere
able to possess these beautiful bit* of
feminine luxury, and cultivated a taste
to learn how and where they are made.
It la for this reason that the ladles or
Italy, with the support and sympathy or
Queen Margherlta, organized the commit-
tee for the Introduction of these beautiful
laces Into the United States.
The Countess dl Brazza Is sn authority
on lace and lace making, and Hster-In-
la.w of the great explorer. Pierre dl Braz
za. aha Is familiar with the needlework
done by the African men and women.
In less trian a year she made the most
wonderful collection of antique laces in
existence. For fifty years experts have
been quarreling over the question wheth
er Isce was invented In Holland or In
Italy. In the fifteenth or sixteenth cen
tury, but the countess exhibited Egyptian
costumes trimmed with net and needle
lace more than 3,000 years before Christ,
and bobbins and bobbin laces taken from
the tombs of the Roman empire.
This study of laces is most Interesting,
as all patterns have a history connected
with the period In which they were made.
A short description, however, of some of
the Italian laces now on exhibition at the
room* of Hie Society of Decorative Art,
No. 28 West Twenty-first street, will per
haps arouse the curiosity of those favored
of fortune and deepen the interest In the
lace workers who spend their lives front

and garlands of ribbon on a largo mesh

point. A yoke of Venetian carved point,
another of antique roze, flounces of point
d’Alencon and copied from the crown laces
of Louis XV. and Louis XVI., and a beau,
tlful piece of rose point copied from that

impossible. One must see them and touch
them to appreciate their wondorful beau
ty and gossamer texture.

world,” says the countess "and through
It we are enabled to come In touch with
the women of antiquity working at their
looms and embroidery frames."

a worker for the good of the wage win

Interesting stories of her own schools
and pupils. She ts In great sympathy with
the women's work during the past few
weeks In our city, and expresses herself
greatly pleased with the result, which she
feels cannot but help our women to the
satisfaction ot their ambitions.

An Instance 'A Which Th'.s Did Not
Pan Out as Expected.
While he stood In tne doorway ou
Woodland avenue glancing over the
headings in bis nenvspjpir as he waited
for tbe car, a man wno hau been braced
against the lamp post for the last hal£
hour softly slid up to h m and queried:
“Anything In tno paper about the
times growing better?”
“Yes, a few lines.”
“Money easier?"
“Yes."
“Industrial enterprises starting up?”
“l’es.''
“Healthier tone to the real estate
market, and goau stocks have an up
ward tendency?’
"Yes. that's about the way of it."
“In fact,” continued the interrogate’,
“next year will w’tness a complete re-
v.val n all lines and put us at the head
again?’
“I hope so. !
“So do I. Wouldn't it be a good bus
iness move on your part to forestall af
fairs?”
“Hoty do you mean?”
“Why, gimme 10 cents now, instead
of a quarter next year.”
"Xo-e,T don’t like the plan,” said tno
man w:th the paper, after a moment's
thought. “I've got something better
than that.”
"What Is it?’
“Ten off!” was the blunt reply, ns he
stepped out and swung aboard a car.
“I don't like his business me.hods.”
said the forestalled as ho gazed after
the car. “He's off, my ten is off, and
the deal is off. That throws me off.
That's what a feller g.ts lor fakin' up
straight business instead of sticking to
the regular programme."
