THE TELEORAPH, Macon, Oa.
A CARNIVAL EDITION.
The Peach Carnival, to be held In
Macon, July 1—20, was projected as
-the best method of attracting tho at
tention of the people or the North and
West and of our own state to the
great success acliloved by the pioneers
In a new Industry and to the peculiar
advantages of this region for tho pros
ecution of that Industry. The Tele
graph, wishing to aid In every possi
ble way In tha good work, will Issue a
large extra edition about the time the
carnival begins. In which an attempt
will be made to give Its readers an
adequate conception of the advantages
possessed by middle and south Geor
gia as a fruit growing region, by de
scribing what has already been done
by the energetic men who have al
ready gone Into the business. The
edition will be a very largo one, and
tho paper In else and appearance will
bo worthy of the occasion and of Ma
con.
Th# opportunity for doing profitable
advertising will be the best that has
been offered by a Macon paper, and
wo hope the business men of our olty
will take advantage of It, and In doing
so add to the success of tho carnival.
HOME INDUSTRIES.
"When goods or any article of popu
lar consumption can be made at homo,
of ns good quality and at as low a
rate ns they enn be produood In any
other part of tho United Btntes, then
home manufactures ought to be In
every ease preferred. No throat-cut
ting competition ought to bo counte
nanced In any sort of business, for all
workers are entitled to a fair compen-
cers nro entitled to a reasonable return
on their capital. But It must bo in
sisted that the work done at homo
shall be of as godd quality, of as at
tractive style and In all reasonable
ways ns cheap ns that done elsewhere
under like conditions. If thcro Is a
proper ability to compete In any sort
of production, It ought to be devel
oped and encouraged. If thera are
lines of business In which New Or
leans, for lack of advantages, cannot
fairly compete, the attempt ought not
to bo made. The laborer Is worthy of
his hire, and tho moro money that la
spent at home tho more money there
will be at home to be earned."
This Is what the Now Orleans Ploa-
yuns hns to say on a subject to which
the Telegraph hns devoted some
thought amt much space. It ts so
much In accord with our Ideas and ex
pressed views that It ts here reprinted
for the sako of the strong Indorsement
coming from a paer that has done
much for the city In which It Is pub
lished. It Is the duty of a good ettt-
xen to patrontle home Industries and
to buy at home, where the goods are
offered at as low a price, considering
the quality and everything else, but tt
Is not wtso to tncourage home Indus
try to depend upon the patriotism of
the people to keep It alive while It of
fers goods of an Inferior quality.
There should be a very full under
standing on this line and this ques
tion of patronising home Industries
should be more closely and seriously
studied by all people.
More than this, the people of Ma
con ahould tlnd Investment hero at
home for th* money—when they havo
Investment to make—not where It will
lie Idle and rust, but In Industries that
produce articles for which we send our
money Into other parta of the country.
We want canning factories to can
our small fruits and to preserve. We
want pork packers to encourage the
raising of hogs and to supply the home
demand, we want all sorts of facto
ries and all sorts of Industries and we
should make it our business not only
to get them, but to keep tlteln and
■uoport them.
TIFTON93 PROSPERITY.
We refer the readers of the Tele
graph to the supplemental report from
the fruit section which was not In
cluded In yesterday’s fagnifleent show
ing. The people of Macon should go to
work this morning with more hopeful
hearts and feeling that tha world Is
even brighter htan it was when tho
last week closed. Here we are sur
rounded with a country literally teem
ing with a crop that sells In tho mar
kets of the world at steady and highly
remunerative prices. From many
points within fifty miles of Ma
con the shipments arc going forward
and still thero's moro to follow. The
rush has not yet commenced. Peaches,
watermelons, grapes and pears all
growing In Georgia os they grow In no
other state In the Union this year' will
bring returns that canot help but re
lievo very greatly tho money string
ency.
While speaking of tho general note
of prosperity and of hope that comes
from all these points around Macon
we cannot but point with particular
pride to the good town of Tifton, down
on the Georgia Southern and Florida
railroad. Tifton Is rich and growing
richer every day. Her orchards glow
with the soft beauties of the peach,
her fields are covered with the great
big melons that only Georgia boasts In
perfection. The luscious grapes hang
In clusters from the trellis on a thou
sand acres and the stately peach tree
bends beneath Its burden of fruit. No
corner of this wide world has more
of reasoa to be content than Tifton
and Its people. They are rich In this
‘world's goods and nature has been
very kind to them.
The Midsummer Fair at Tifton will
be one of the great events of the South
this year. It Is not unfortunate that
the Georgia Peach Carnival and the
Tifton fair should clash In dates, for
these two points are very close to
gether and the visitors to Georgia will
thus be given a double oportunlty to
seo and Judge for themselves. Their
visit of Inspection to Georgia would
not be complete without a trip over
the Georgia Southern and Florida
railroad and of all the line points of
vantage along that line of road none
can boast greater attractions than
Tifton.
GOVERNOR ATKINSON'S ILLNESS.
Tho people of Georgia will be
shocked and grieved by the unex
pected nows from Atlanta that Gover
nor Atkinson Is critically 111. His
youth, his vigorous health and untir
ing Injury have made serious Illness
seem foreign to him to those who
know him or have watched his career.
He has the Individual sympathy of
the people of the state, who earnestly
hope that the danger Is less than It
now seems to bo, And that he will have
a speedy recovery, without the aid of
the surgeon's knife.

The Georgia Peach Carnival will be

The reports from the different points

notes of prosperity from a land over
flowing with "lingering r sweetness
long drawn out,” and still there's more
to follow.
In the North they preserve the bobo

Tho Newspaper Maker says that
practically every department of trade
In Chicago, Bt. Louis, New York, Cin
cinnati, Philadelphia, Boston and
other large cities of the country, whtoh
has grown to great activity, has been
developed by advertising merchants,
not many years ago unknown boyond
a narrow neighborhood, who have by
this means pushed their nnmes and
their business Into a distinction which
•'xteuds to a great extent of the coun
try. Little shops with a petty trade
have developed rapidly Into great ba
zaars under the potent stimulus of ad
vertising. New methods of business,
which have Insured to the publlo
profit, have been made possible by Its
means. As the dealer’s market lias
thus been extended he has been able
to reduce price* and yet nmko a large
gain because of vastly Increased sales.
Speaking of the disease prevalent tn
the spring and summer months, and
which Is particularly fatal among
children, an exchnnge says; “This ten
dency Is likely to Increase with tho
hot season, and It ts largely attributa
ble to eating unripe or otherwise un
wholesome fruits and vegetables,
tainted meats and Impure milk. Neces
sarily the difficulty of keeping perish
able provisions during the heats of
summer Is greater where there Is a
scarcity of Ice. In such cases meats
should bo heavily salted or promptly
cooked, while milk should bo boiled In
every case before being used. Such
precautions may go far to prevent se
rious disease, particularly among the
little ones."
THE GEORGIA SOUTHERN.
It will be seen by an Interview with
Mr. Sparks, published In title morn
ing’s Issue, that tho autonomy of the
Georgia Southern and Florida railroad
will be entirely preserved. It will
continue to be operated by Its own of
ficers and the shops will remain here.
It will work In friendly co-operation
with tho Southern, but will not be
minted Into that system.

The Memphis silver convention was
altogether sound and there was right

Speaking of the resolutions passed
at the silver convention In Memphis the
New Orleans Picayune says: "They are
a maea of glittering generalities and ar
bitrary statements. with no solid foun
dation In facts and figures. Among
the declarations made Is one that the
period of twenty-two years which has
Intervened from the cessation of the
coinage of the silver dollar, In 187S, up
to the present, has been one of un
broken disaster and financial dis
tress. It ts wholly false and absurd.”
Owing to a typographical error tn tta
report from Griffin a few days ago,
the Telegraph was led to say that the
people of Griffin and the delegates to
the free silver convention might bo
called upon to vote tor whisky and

very properly so, to the Insinuation
that a free stiver convenlloa would b
called on her election day. when the

CHAT' OF THE CURBSTONES.'
If I have had one I have had a half
hundred people to ask me what those
Utt|e round mounds In each corner of
tho street parks on Mulberry street
mean. So far I have ben unable to en
lighten them, but I Intend to keep
on asking until I dd And out, and then
I will tell everybody who wants’ to
know. A week or two ago I saw some
men digging holes about two feet tn
diameter where the mounds now ar»
but 1 thought they wer preparing to
put down telegraph or telephone poles
and paid little attention. The next
time 1 noticed the corners was when
some ono asked me what • the little
mounds meant. Then I saw that in
stead of telephone or telegraph poles
being put Into the holes they had the
'appearance of being Ailed with dirt
raised several Inches above the level
of the park, and shaped up nicely—In
fact, they look like places 1 have seen
prepared for cucumbers, but to save
my life I cannot And out what they
ore Intended for.
like sordines pressing against tbe Iron
fence that held them back until It was
almost broken down. It waa awfully
hot and close under tha shed, and the
perspiration could lie seen flowing
down the cheeks of those In the middle
of the crowd. Finally the train came
under tho shed and as Soon as It had
stopped the gate keeper opened the
gate and told them to come. Then
tbe most remarkable Bight ever wit
nessed at the depot began. Every ne
gro wanted to get on the train first,
and the consequence was that they
knocked each other down, trampled
over the prostrate form* of those who
were down, and some of them, not
knowing what else to do, yelled as
loud as they could. For five minutes
It looked as If many of them woulf]
be killed or badly Injured, but so far
as Is known none of them were se
riously Injured, and finally they all
got aboard, riot it was a great sight,
and tho white people who witnessed
It greatly enjoyed it.
Do people appreciate puffs? They
do, but they will not admit It. A cer
tain newspaper man known to the
writer has within twenty-five years
printed at least a million things com
plimentary of people; It Is safe to say
that not one In a thousand has ex
pressed or exhibited a particle of grati
tude. Yet all have enjoyed the puffs
and a majority of them have appre
ciated them.
It will not do to conclude because
the recipient of the puffs does not
come in and convey his thanks in
person that ha is insensible to .the
kindness. A failure to do so Is largely
due to Ignorance. The same paper
lias recently printed at considerable
expense the portraits of a large num
ber of people, giving most of them
more prominence than they have ever
had before or ever will have again.
Only one In the lot has thanked the
paper, or bought an extra copy, o'”"
he has been a newspaper man. Most of
the others probably appreciated the
attention In another way, but were
lacking In a knowledge of etiquette, or
thought It a condescension of dignity
to recognize It.
It makes a fool of many people tu
puff them. They think the paper Is
yielding to popular pressure In voic
ing an Irrepressible publlo sentiment,
which would not let the paper run
any longer if it withheld the puffs,
and that a great Injustice has been
done to them and the public because
the puffs have not been printed be
fore.
But It does not pay to be cynical,
or to grow weary in giving deserved
praise, for the public appreciates tho
giving of honor where honor Is due,
and while many people may seem In
different to the kind things said about
them, yet they are the very ones who
enjoy them the most.
"I wish you would call the attention
of the city authorities, the street rail
road authorities or whomsoever might
bo the proper person, to have the street
railroad tracks at Forsyth and Mon
roe and Forsyth and Progress streets,
leveled with the street.” said a bicycle
crank to me the other day. "Every
time I ride out that way I either have
to get off my wheel or be thrown off
In passing over those tracks. Both the
Consolidated and the Macon and In
dian Spring tracks ore In the same
condition, and they are not only dan
gerous to people riding bicycles, but
to people riding In vehicles. It might
be said that the recent rains have
washed the dirt from the trackB, and
the attention of the proper parties has
not been called to It, but I do wish It
was fixed, and I know others who
wish the same thing.'
Speaking of cucumbers reminds me
of a good Joke a lady told me on her
self yesterday. It might be well to
explain, however, at tho beginning
that the lady Is one of the sensible
kind, absolutely without vanity, and
who doesn't care who knows that she
wanted to remove a few Imaginary
freckles from her face, although to
tell the truth I never knew there was
u freckle on her fnco until she said so.
But the Joke Is this. Some lady friend
recommended some kind of a patent
stuff, I guess tt Is patented, called
•'cucumber cream." for removing all
freckles, and she determined to try it.
The name was written on a piece of
paper and sent to a drug store. The
druggist barely glanced at the writing
—In fact, did not road further than
the word cucmber before ho told the
darkey to tell the lady they did not
keep cucumber seed. Th'o porter came
back and told the lady tho druggist
said ho didn’t keep "It." and she sent
him to another druggist, 'rills time
the darkey who hid heard the drug
gist say "cucumber seed" simply asked
for them, and the druggist fixed him
up a package. When they were hand
ed to the lady she realized what they
were and sent them back, but she did
not again try to get cucumber cream.
One of the greatest sights I ever
saw was at the union depot Friday
afternoon. About 1.900 negroes had
come down from Griffin and Rarnes-
Mlle to 1 spend the day, and by 4
o’clock they were all ready to go
home, although th* train was not
scheduled to leave until 5 o'clock. Some
of the negroes remained at the depot
all day. but by 4.S0 o'clock every ex
cursionist and about 2.000 of their
friends who came down to see them
off was congregated around the ticket
office and entrance to the union depot.
Gate Keeper John Elliott had instruc
tions not to let one of them tn until

Of course, I don't deny that Spain
professes some strong reasons why
she should continue to own the Cu

Then, good-naturedly, the gentleman
concluded with;
‘Let's go take a drink to the success

Here Is a fish yarn that goes a little
ahead of anything heard this season.
It Is told by Policeman Lee HlckB,
who, together with Policemen Wallace
and Frank Grace, have Just returned
from, a fishing trip down In the lower
part of the state. The policemen were
sitting around the station house door
preparatory to going on duty yester
day, when Chief Butner saw Police
man IHcks looking at two badly lace
rated places on his left hand.
"How did you do that, Hicks?"
asked the chief. '
"Got It while fishing," replied the
policeman.
"Alligator bite you?" again queried
the chief, with a twinkle in his eye.
No, sir;; that Is where fish bit me."
"Fish?"
"Yes sir."
"Why how did fish bite you that
way?”
"Well, you see, I found a place Just
full of fish and began hauling out as
fast as I could drop my hook In. The
fish seemed to enjoy It as much as 1
did, but they kept me so hard at work
pulling them out that I finally got
tired and vns a little slow about bait
ing my hook. The fish became Impa
tient, and before I knew It they were
all over the bank. Jumping at the
hook while -I held It In my hand. 1
tried to fight them off, but two of
them kept grabbing at the hook and
In doing so bit my hand. I was com
peted to leave the place to get rid of
them.”
A deathly silence feel on the crowd,
which was broken up by the chief,
who finaly said to Brevet Bryant: "I
guess you'd better let Hicks off to ten
to church next Sunday."
I have yet to hear a man express
anything but sympathy for the Cuban
Insurgents.
United States Marshal Harrell has
been Instructed to prevent sympathis
ers from rendering aid to. the Cubans,
and he will be obliged to obey Instruc
tions, but the Major's friends believe
this ts an unpleasant task Imposed
upon him. When asked If he would
give a man any trouble for attempting
to violate the International neutrality
laws in such 'a cause, he looks solemn
and says duty must be stronger than
sentiment In a United States officer.
A party of gentlemen standing in
the rotunda of the Hotel Lanier yes
terday were discussing the fight, when
one of them spoke somewhat In this
manner;
"I am certainly glad to see tho Insur
gents put up such a fight. The peo
ple of this country seemed to think
when the war first started that Spain
would Just muster a few soldiers and
wipe the Insurgents off the face of the
earth.
"But I am proud to see that tt Is
another Instance of bravery rewarded.
The Cubans have the manhood and
courage to fight for their freedom, and
they deserve It. I think It Is fortunate
for Spain that mhe Is a party to the
neutrality laws affecting the United
States government In such matters, or
the insurgents would very likely get
all the help they want right from the
shores of Florida.
"The people of the United States are
& liberty loving people, and their brave
spirit forcea them to sympathise with
the down-trodden and oppressed. Even
If Spain has always used the Cubans
as slaves by exacting enormous taxes
without any return, that Is no reason.
It aems to me. the Cubans should
1 met a drummer yesterday. I meet
them quite frequently, but it’s sel
dom that I meet one exactly like the
drummer In this case.
In other words, this drummer—
as a matter of course—doesn't chew,
smoke or drink.
No, I must confess he didn’t come
from Kentucky. It would add to the
interest of my anecdote If I could say
he was a Kentuckian; but, then, he
has traveled through Kentucky, and
didn't touch a drop.*
Of course, I saw a good story, when
I heard that he was such a model
man. Such men are rarely found In
any profession. An exceptional man Is
always Interviewed by newspaper re
porters. There Is no telling when the
reporter might run upon a good story
If he will follow up exceptional men as
I did this drummer. This Is about the
way I Interviewed him:
Said I: “You are a traveling man?'
“Yes, sir; at your service.”
"Well, I'm a newspaper man; let's
go take a drink!"
No, thank you; I hope you will ex
cuse me, fpr I never touch whisky or
tobacco In any form.”
Ts the forfeit large?” I asked.
'Oh, I didn't swear off. I Just have
always been a teetotaler; and as I
didn’t see how I was losing anything
by bequeathing to other people all my
Interest In the whisky and tobacco
habit, I am resolved to go on
down to the grave that way.”
"Why," said I, "how do you get In
with the trade—don't all drummers
have to treat and be treated?”
•Well," was the reply. "I sometimes
run across a fellow who snorts a lit
tle because I won’t drink with him;
but I manage to hold my own about
as well with the customers, and I ex
pect a little better with my house than
I could hope to do if I drank. The
funniest experience I ever had was
out In Texas a few weeks ago. I had
become- very friendly with a Jolly old
merchant, and he wanted me to drink
with him one day. I went on Into tho
barroom without protest, but refused
when he asked me to name my 'plzen.'
He looked startled and suggested a
cigar, when he saw I was determined
not to drink. When I refused to smoke
he backed away from the counter and
walked all around me about twice, eye
ing me from head to foot He asked me
several questions denoting his utter as
tonishment; and then he said:
" ‘I am certain you wouldn't mind
chewin' a little hay (meaning tobacco.)’
“When I told him no. he gasped,
stepped back, and placing bis arms
akimbo, he remarked with strong em
phasis;
“ Well I'll her dumed! You ain't fit
company for man nor beast!'"
Georgia Journalism, has observed tbai

The Monroe Hustler says the Georgia
Peach Carnival Is a good thing, and

A county correspondent to the Ogle
thorpe Echo tells the readers of that
paper that ‘.'winter Is broke.”
I have heard a great many people
express themselves as delighted with
the prospect of having music on the
streets In various portions of town dur
ing the evenings
It Is now almost certain that a good
brass band will play on Mulberry
street while the Peach Carnival Is
being held, and on certain nights of
each week, Card's band will very likely
give open air concerts In thickly set
tled residence portions of the city.
This, of course, will enliven things
considerably, and there Is no reason
why such concerts should not be very
popular as soon as the people learn
where and when to expect them.
The young men who have access to
the barrooms enjoy good music until
late every night, and the ladles and
old people should not be slighted.
A little music goes a long way
toward making life worth living.
It has been suggested by some of
the boys that they would not visit bar
rooms at night except to hear the mu
sic. and I once heard a Young Men's
Christian Association man say that If
the association would spend half as
much money on trying to draw a
crowd as the barrooms spend the mor
als of the community would begin to
Improve very quickly.
I reckon, though, the Young Men's
Christian Association would furnish
evening concerts and other attractions
If Its friends contributed half aa much
money to Its support as the barrooms
receive from their.friends.
But. at any rate, a great many peo
ple will halt with delight any steps
tending to give the residence portions
of Macon the benefit of open air con,
certs In the evenings.
GEORGIA NEWS AND
