HELD AN OPEN MEETING IN SOUTH
t MACON LAST NIGHT WITH
. . MUCH SUCCESS.
_ The open meeting of Carpenter’* and
Joiner's Union No. 1578. held last night
In Lackcy'B hall. South Macon, was large*
ly attended and a decided success.
The speakers of the evening were
Messrs. Harry Burns, ono of the promi
nent members of the original order
Knights of Labor, W. T. Anderson, T. E.
ItyaTs, B. F. Smith, of Macon, and Or-
gUnlier Wilson, of Tampa. Fla., who
represents the International Union. Mr.
Wilson’s address was especially full of
( rood argument for the cause, and hts
iluRtrailona wero all apt and timely. He
gave much Interesting data concerning
the order, showing by figures the won
derful growth and the many benefits to
be derived from membership. The bene
fits are graduated according to term of
membership, and the organiser demon
strated how these alone should induce all
eligible! to jolh. Mr; Wilson used In
stances In other cities to support the
contention that organisation meant short
er hours, * and shorter hours inevitably
led to higher wages.
Mr. Smith's speech was very humorous
and Instructive, and being a carpenter
and student he covered those points es
sential to tho welfare of the woodwork
ers in on agreeable and effective style.
This union Is presided over by Mr: W.
Lewis, perhaps one of the most sealous
and popular union men in Macon, while
Mr. D. K. Palmer la recording secretary,
with Mr. R. Hackney ns the watchdog of
the treasury* It has been organised but
two months and has a membership of 78.
The total membership of the four
unions of white carpenters Is given as
he feels kindly to tho four thousand nine
hundred and ninety-seven families who
failed to notify him, and thinks they
were too much absorbed In buying things
for the members of those four thousand
nine hundred and ninety-seven families
to think of the poor who will suffer un
less-something Is done for them.
Warden Walker thinks they will tele
phone him today to call for tholr contri

? AND ANSWER
“How Can You Conscientiously Claim
to Cure Kidney Disease when Physicians
and Druggists Know That There Is No
Emollient for Inflamed Kidneys?”—
Druggist.
That very fact led to this treatment
When the lata John J. Fulton was told
by Dr. Toland that he had chronic kid
ney disease, it did not at first disturb
him. for wera there not scores of kidney
medicines and many wonderful cures?
But there wan a profound awakening !
It waa explained that < some of them
would help him. And he discovered that
the miracles perfermed by kidney medi
cines fso-caUed) w#r« during the early
formative period of the disease In which
it commonly gets well by first Intent, but
if the Inflammation lingered, as It had In
hi* .case. ft became chronic hnd that the
books really knew nothing that would re
duce Inflammation of the kidneys at any
atage of kidney disease, either first or
last. •.
Then what about the so-called diuretics
and kidney medicines?
They excite the kidneys, but this does
S t reduce.Inflammation In them—rather
c reverse, as the Increasing deaths
show, and physicians seldom use them.
The urgent neeeselty for aomethlng
that would palliate In flammed kidneys
and thus be a real specific for Inflamma

direction, Fulton evolved an emollient*

World Appreciates Compliment.
NEW YORK, Doe. 15.—The World. In
the course of Its answer to President
Roosevelt’s references to that paper In
his special message to congress today
says:
“Mr. Roosevelt Is mistaken. He can
not muzzle tho World.
"While no amount of billingsgate on
his part can alter our determination to
treat him with judicial Impartiality and.
scrupulous fairness, ws repeat what we
have already said, that the congress of
the United States should make a thorough-
investigation of the whole Panama trans.
action that full truth may be known to
tho American people.
"The World fully appreciates the com
pliment raid to it by Mr. Roosevelt In
making It the subject of a special mes-
sago to tho congress of the United States.
Doctrine of Lise Majeste.
"The World llkewlso appreciates the
Importance of Mr. Roosevelt’s statement
when he declares to congress that the
proprietor of the World should be pros
ecuted for libel by the governmental au
thorities. and that 'tho attorney general
has under consideration the form under
which the proceedings against Mr. Pu
litzer shall be brought.’
"This Is the first time a president has
ever asserted the doctrine of lese maj-
este, or proposed, in the absence of spe
cific legislation the criminal prosecution
by the government of citizens who criti
cized tho conduct of the government or
the conduct of Individuals who may have
had business dealing* with the govern
ment. Neither the king of Great Britain
nor the German emperor would venture
to arrogate such power to himself. John
Adams’ attempt to enforce the sedition
law destroyed the Federalist party In
America. Yet Mr. Roosevelt, In the ab
sence ot law, officially propones to use all
the power ot the greatest government
on earth to cripple the freedom of the
Dress on the pretest that the government
Itself has beon libeled—and he Is the
government.
Cromwell’s Action Rals*d Issue.
"It Is true that the World printed the
statement concerning the Panama canal
affairs which rosulted from Wm. Nelson
Cromwell’s appeal to the district attor
ney’s office during the recent campaign
to prrvcnt the publication of a story
which was said to be In the bands of the
democratic, national committee. It -was
Mr. Cromwell’s own action which raised
the Issue In the campaign.
."It Is true also that when Mr. Roosa-
velt made his attack upon Delvan Smith
tho World called attention to cerialn
statements which Mr. Roosevelt must
havo known to be false or misleading
and appealed to congress ~tfr end all
scandal by a full and Impartial Investiga
tion. If this be treason, let Mr. Roose
velt make the moat of ft.
Roosevelt’s “Lamentable Habit.”
"Mr. Roosevelt’s lamentable habit of
Inaccurate statements make It impossible
to accept either his judgments or his con
clusions. In his message he does not
state correctly even so simple a matter
as the pretended causes of HIh grievance.
The World has never sold that Chari''- P.
Taft or Douglas Robinson mad* any
K roflts whatever. Mr. Taft denied that
e waa concerned In the transaction In
any way, which denial the World pub
lished and accepted. It would hav/» been
equally glad to print Mr. Robinson’s de
nial could It have aucccrded In obtaining
one from him, aa It frequently attended.
accent hla word to that effect: for Mr,
Robinson la an estimable gentleman ol
high character, whose reputation for ve
racity is Infinitely better than that of hts
distinguished brother-in-law.

“If the World has libeled anybody we
..jpe It will bo punished, hut we do not
intend to be Intimidated by Mr.Roosevelt's
®*ty of both public officials and nrlvato
citizens who opposed his policies or
thwarted him In his purposes.
"Bo far as the World is concerned. Its
proprietor may go to Jail, if Mr. Roose
velt succeeds, ns he threatens; but even
In Jail tho World will not cease to be a
fearless champion of free speech, a freo
press and a freo people."
What Rulltzer Says.
YORK. Dec. 15.—Joseph Pulitzer,
ar of tho World, tonight said:

was at sea during tlio whole of October
and In fact practically for two years I

A Growing Work.
The meeting of the Y. M. C. A.
directors yesterday afternoon, which
was the last regular session the di
rectors will hold for this year, was
one of Interest. Reports covering tho
various departments were gratifying In
tho extrome. This was especially true
of tho financial condition of the asso
ciation. Never perhaps in the history
of our local organization have more
gratifying conditions existed or a hot
ter work been done than at present.
Thlrly-two members were elected last
night. Excellent work Is being done
in the physical department; the classes
are all large and the gymnasium Is
proving too small for comfort and the
shower room is taxed to accommodate
the men and boys after the regular
class exercises. The religious, social
and educational features nro keeping
apace with other features of this many
sided work. The good Influences that
aro net In motion in the lines of tho
young men nnd boys of our city are
beyond computation. The Ladles’ Aux
iliary Is awake to tho needs of tho dif
ferent departments and recently the
auxiliary has presented a new Adam
Rchaff piano to be used lii tho physi
cal department. To look In on the
young men ns they gather at the Y.
M. C. A. building these evenings Is
evidence sufficient to convince any one
thnt Macon Is proud' and justly so of
her splendid Y. M. C. A.
hope It will be punished., hut we do not
intend to be intimidated by Mr.Roosevelt'e
threats or bv Mr. Roosevelt’s denuncia
tion. or by Mr. Roosevelt’s power.
"No other living man ever so grossly
