THE TELEGRAPH, Macon, Ga.
A CARNIVAL EDITION.
The Peach Carnival, to be held In
Macon, July 1—26, was projected as
the best method of attracting the at
tention of the people of the North and
West and of our own state to the
great success achieved by the pioneers
In a new Industry and to the peculiar
advantages of this region for the pros
ecution of that Industry. The Tele
graph, wishing to aid In every possi
ble way In the 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 dons
by the energctlo men who have al
ready gone Into the business. The
edition will bo a very large one, and
the paper In else and appcaranco will
be worthy of the occasion and of Ma
con.
Tho opportunity for doing profitable
advertising will be the best that has
been offered by a Macon paper, and
wo hops tho business men of our city
will take advantage of It, and In doing
so add to tho success of tho carnival.
THE NEGRO POPULATION.
A general, but erroneous, Impression
that the negro population of tho South
Increases as rapidly nr even more rap
idly than the whites Is a mlstnke not
only shown by the general figures and
statistics, but which has been 'more
exhaustively treated by Dr.' Do Baus-
slne of Charleston, who gives some In
teresting figures. Among other things,
the doctor shows that the negro pop
ulation cannot be maintained In the
cities. Take Charleston, for Instance.
The statistician Hhows that In the
fourteen years between 1660 and 1694,
In Charleston, the deaths among the
negroes exceeded the births by 6,426.
He shows that tho Charleston negroes
are decreasing at tho rate of 366 a
year, and that tho city population In
blacks would disappear altogether If
they did not draw from the country
whore the death rate of the negroes Is
only 20 per cent, greater than that of
tho whites. What Is true of Charles
ton Is also true of New Orleans and
of other Southern cities. In New Or
leans, for Instance, the negro popula
tion makes a draft on tho couctry
population of 16610 overy docade.
Among the children of the negroes the
greatest mortality la found. Out pf ev
ery l.odo white children born In
Charleston M7 die before they aro 1
year old. Out of every 1,000 negro
children 6G4 die, and In Savannah the
doctor oaya that tha mortality among
tho negro children la nearly three
limes as great as among ths whites.
From this It may bo teen that tho
negro.vrban population does not main
tain Itself, and, according to the doc
tor’s theory, which he backs up by a
very convincing array of figures, the
growth of our Southern cities and the
Increasing Inclination of the negro to
move to town means a very consider
ably decreased population In the next
decade.
MUNICIPAL REFORM.
One of the leading principles of the
Municipal Reform League Is tho cen-
tralltatlon of authority. The league
has succeeded In putting Ite views Into
practice In several cities, and notably
In the case of Boston, where the term
an>\ authority of the mayor l.tui been
Increased, and he has even been given
the authority to appoint the heads of
several departments, without the ne
cessity of confirmation by the board
of aldermen. A general consolidation
of the departments Is to be effected
under the tour beads of an election
department, a fire department, a wa
ter department and a department of
Institutions. Tho control of these de
partments under the mayor Is also to
be centralised. The whole fire depart
ment Is under one commissioner, wh
ts responsible to the mayor and who
serves three years.
Much of the success of such a sys
tem depends upon the people them
selves. If they elect a good man to
the oMce of mayor they will no doubt
be abls to boast a well governed city,
but one thing la certain, which Is that
If the people cannot elect a good
mayor, they need not expect to get
reform In any other way.
Some descriptive writer of great
power speaks of a pug as a dog wtih
an ingrowing face.
There never was a time In the hlrtory
of Macon when a Bureau of Freight

Whlle the Telegraph does not
charge or even believe that tho South
ern railroad ban any Intention of dis
criminating against Macon, It Is nev
ertheless a fact that there Is to Ma-
oon’a commerce a very great danger
lurking in the fact that the one rail
road corporation holds the whip hand
over us. Wo have reason to believe
that Macon has suffered In the past,
and that her people, her merchants,
wholesale and retail, have supinely
allowed railroads to Injuro their busi
ness and finally to drlvs away a good
ly shore of what properly belongs to
us. Here Is something for our Cham
ber of Commerce to undertake to car
ry through. The bureau has been tried
and not found wanting In several cities
—Memphis, New Orleans and Savan
nah. It has been found that much
protection rested In the organization,
and ths consequence has been that the
railroad* have given these cities a
more respectful hearing In their coun
cils. Every business man In Macon
should support a bureau of freight
and transportation, and the good ef
fects of tho organization, being felt,
would Insure Ita countenance.
"AMBER GLINTS."
In tho Horse Review, the "Amber
Glints," written by "Amber,” contain
sentiments that stir the heart and
make the carelesa man of every-day
life wish to draw the writer to him
and whisper In her ear a word of
thanks—thanks for a little sunshine,
thanks for tha truth, thanks for the
delicious drops of human klndneaB
and of true man or womanhood that
follows the pen of the i writer, whose
sex Is shown In such delicious bursts
of earnestness as this: "One thing I
am determined, and I wish I could
rally an army under my banner. I
will not carry the devil's powder-horn
any longer—furnishing scandal for him
to load his guns with. I will not bawl
disagreeable truths when oven to whis
per them causes so much discomfort.
I will mnko myself too busy with my
own affairs that I shall have no time
to spend watching my neighbor. And,
lastly, whenever there Is a helpful
thing to be said, or a loving deed to
do; whenever there Is somebody down
whom 1 can help to his feat again, or
somebody discouraged whom I can
cheer, I humbly pray that I may bo
on hand, not with Ul-tlmed truths or
taunting ‘I told you oo's,* but with love
In my heart and the balm of silence
on my lips."
It Is significant that summer hotel
clroulars and “booklets" are not os

that tlley are a waste of money, and

than they do "Alice In ■Wonderland,”
’Baron Munchausen's Tales," or. "Gul
liver's Travels," and that, after 'all,
advertising by means of the press Is
most advantageous and profitable, and
from every point of view, cheapest In
tho end.

CHIT OF THE CPRBSTOIES.
I think when the ladles refuse to
patronize anything but home industry
It Is time for the men. to do likewise.
In fact, I don't think It a bad idea for
the men to pattern after the ladles In
everything, but what put* me in this
line of thought was the remark of one
of the most patriotic little women on
the face qt the earth. Said *he: "If
you want lo see the loveliest things
you ever dreamed of go up to Mice
Mattie Miller’s and see a wedding
trousseau she Is making. It will do
you good for years to come, and If
they don’t put matrimony Jn your old
hard bachelor head I’m no Judge of
human nature."
I Insisted that I wouldn’t know a
trousseau from a bale of liay, so It
would do me no good to look at it,
but she Insisted, and Just for the sake
of pleasing the lady, I went. Miss Mil
ler very kindly consented to show mo
the trousseau, and when she unlit red
me Into the room where It was kept
awaiting delivery I confess that I was
staggered by such a vision of lovell-
n-as. although It failed to produce tho
effect my lady friend had predicted.
But she was correct In saying It was
lovely, for carefully arranged about
the room were beautiful goWns repre
senting every color of the rainbow and
made of nearly every material known
to feminine fancy. Very naturally, my
first Inquiry was if one bride Intended
to wear all of those gowns In an or
dinary life time, and I felt relieved
when Miss Miller told me they were
not all for the bride; that some of
them were for the bridesmaids, and
others for friends and relatives of the
bride. "I have, though, fully a dozen
gowns of various kinds especially for
the bride, and they arc Just too lovely
for anything. Take this weeding
gown, for instance, and she held up
one of the airiest, coolest looking
waists I ever saw. "This, you will see,
Is covered with mouslln de sole, with
handwork tucking. It would astonish
you to know the great amount of
work on It. The affect will be grand
when she appears In It bearing miles
of the valley and roses. She will also
wear a bridal veil. Now .here Is a
handsome dinner gown of changeable
silk, with trimmings of white chiffon
and Jewel passamenterle, and now here
Is still another elegant costume with
the skirt of white Slellllan ami Dresden
taffeta waist and pleatlngs of mouslln
do sole and ccrls ribbons. Hero Is a
traveling novelty woo! suiting trim
med with buttons and cloth trim
ming.” Miss Miller said that all of tho
gowns were not only made here, every
stitch of them, but that every plooe
of material used In their making was
purchased here. Several ladles and
two experienced dry goods men who
were present and who appeared to be
Judges, said that the gowns could not
bo surpassed In Paris. London or New
York, and I am Inclined .to take their
word for It. &

CAPT. GEORGE STEWART,'
One of Spalding's Best Farmers, Talks
About tho Carnival.
Griffin, June 17.—(Special.)—The pro
posed peach carnival of Macon is ex
citing more than usual Interest since
yesterday's Telegraph explained to a
tew how the people of Georgia thought
of and were taking an Interest In the
pet enterprise of this section.
There Is an organized effort being
made In Spalding county to exhlbt at
the carnival, for tbe reason, it Is be
lieved, that fio exhlbt haa been asked
for.
Capt. George C. Stewart, who is
largely Interested In fruit culture and
who devotes nearly all his time to It,
was seen by the Telegraph yesterday
and when asked tor an opinion Bald:
"I think the carnival will be the
best thing for fruit growers that
Georgia lisa ever had, for there will
be a lot of home-seekers and strangers
who will come for the purpose of lo
cating In the fruit belt, and tha county
beat repretented will reap the greatest
benefit.
"Spalding county 1s the original
fruit section and Is naturally the home
of the peach by iv.ih.hi ,.l its soil, |(
nothing else. Our clay sub-soil gives
us a peach of finer flavor than can be
found elsewhere, and one reason that
Spalding should have an exhlbt Is that
It nil give to those who do not know
Us advantages an opportunity to de
tect the difference In a practical way
by tasting Its fruit.
“And, too," continued Capt. Stew
art, “It would be the best advertise
ment that Spalding county could have,
and I am In favor of using every le.
gitlmate means to show its advan
tages.'

SPECIAL NOTICES-

Faro Food.
Buttcrlno is a much abused product.
As a matter of fact it is pure, sweet,
wholesome, and infinitely preferablo to
ordinary country butter. A special
correspondent of this paper recently
visited the factory owned and operated
by the Armour Packing Co., of Kansas
City, manufacturers of the widely ad
vertised Silver Chum Butterine. A
five story building is perfectly fitted
for the scientific preparation of this
food product. Everything Is spotlessly
clean; all appliances are the latest and
most improved, und every precaution is
taken to securo tho production of<an
absolutely pure and wholesome food.
All processes aro under the direction of
a foreign chemist who has made tho
skillful combination of pure sweet fats
tbo study of his life.
Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York
City, says: “The product is palatable
and wholesome and 1 regard it as a
most valuable article of food.”
Prof. J. S. W. Arnold, Medical De
partment, University of New York,
eays: “A blessing for the poor, and in
every way a perfectly pure, wholesome
and palatable article of food."
