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 The negrobs havo & separate organiza tion, but they use tho same scale of wages and observe the same working MBS.

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 tion was aowrent. Starting out In a new direction, Fulton evolved an emollient* for Inflamed kidneys, the very thing that the question at the head, of this article calls for.

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. Not Awed by ”Blg Stick. 1 “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: r as I am personally concerned, I was at sea during tlio whole of October and In fact practically for two years I have been yachting on account of my h 5«Uh. I never read a word or syllabio of this Panama story, waa not In con nection with the paper and had nothing to do with It. Mr. Roosevelt knows nil this perfectly. He known 1 am a Chronic invalid and mostly abroad yacht ing on account of my health. I think hla anger Is simply due to the sharp at tacks made by the World on him politi cally. For that perhaps I am responal- wry nngry. dui uie world will con tinue to criticise him without a shadow of fear. If ho should succeed In compell ing mo to edit tho paper from Jail.” 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 libeled the United .States es does this president who hesmlrehcs congress, bull dozes Judges, assails the Integrit** of courts, slanders private citizens, who has shown himself-the most reckless, unscru pulous demagogue whorn the American people ever trusted with great power snrT authority.
