Millionaires Hun the Government.
A prominent lawyer of Wash
ington, Ga.,[writing to a friend in
Macon, says : “I look with horror
upon the policy of the president
in regard to the Philippine ques
tion. Millionaires are now run
ning the government and, if not
checked, popular government will
soon he a thing of the past.
“No doubt you aaw that cartoon
portraying the future—a farmei
hoeing along with a soldier strap
ped to his back. The money pow
er, commercialism, is encouraging
militarism for its own aggrandize
ment, and saddling every poor
man with taxes for this purpose,
each laborer, in addition to his
other burdens, carrying at least
one soldier. • This is militarism.
To this the money power and the
trusts are driving the president.”
This is an extract from a private
letter from one of the most cul
tured men in the state. And how
true it all is.—Macon News.
Settling the Land Question.
A collier wandering on land
belonging to Earl D , chanced
to meet the owner face to fsce,
says London Tid Bits. His lord-
ship asked the collier if he knew
he was walking on his land.
“Thy land 1 Wull, I’ve got no
land myself,” was the reply, “and
I’m forced to walk oii somebody
else’s. Whaur did you get it from?
“I got it from my ancestors,”
replied the earl.
“And whaur did they get it
from?” inquired the collier.
“From their ancestors.”
“And whaur did their ancestors
get it from?”
“They fought for it.”
“Ah, well,” said the collier,
squaring up to the earl, “come,
and I’ll fight thee for it;”
How’s Tills!
The Bravery of Woman
was grandly shown by Mrs. John
Dowling, of Butler, Pa. , in a three
years’ struggle with a malignant
stomach trouble that caused dis
tressing attacks of nausea and in
digestion. All remedies failed to
relieve her until she tried Electric
Bitters. After taking it two
months, she wrote:- “I am now
wholly cured and can eat any
thing. It is truly a grand tonic
for the whole system, as I gained
in weight and feel much stronger
since using it. ” It aids digestion,
cures dyspepsia, improves appe
tite, gives new life. Only 50 cts.

Meats frozen Jand kept in cold
storage for long periods do not
undego organic changes in the or
dinary sense; that is, they do not
putrefy, soften or smell bad, but
they certainly deteriorate in some
intangible way. After a certain
time frozen meat loses some life
principle essential to its nourish
ing quality. Such meat lacks fla

There was rath er an odd wed
ding in Lansing, Mich., when J.
A. Grernough was married the
second time to the same woman.
Twenty, five years ago, immediate
ly after his first marriage, he set
out for the Black Hms to seek
gold. After a time he ceased to
write home, and his wife, after se
curing a divorce, married E. A.
Timmerman, who died three years
ago.' Last spring the widow learn
ed that her first husband was liv

they have been married again.
The annual report of Secretary
Hester, of the New Orleans Cot
ton Exchange, contains valuable
and interesting information. He
puts the crop' of 1899-1900 at
9,436,416 bales,being less than the
crop of the previous year by 1,738.-
424 bales. But the South got a
great deal more for the 1899-1900
crop than for that of the previous
year, because the price of cotton
was so much better. According
to his figures,the crop of 1899-1900
brought $363,785,000, while that
of 1898-1899, although nearly two
million bales greater, brought on
ly $282,773,000.

W. F- Houser, president of the Macon Shoe
Co., is an old Houston county boy. He left the
plow handles in 1885 to come to Macon to try
his luck in this great city in the mercantile
business. He first went with the well-known
firm of Eads, Neel & Co., where he faithfully
performed his part and soon found that he had
climbed very high tbe ladder which leads to
success. In fact he had about reached the top,
for after staying with them twelve years lie
bought an interest in the firm of Benson &
Todd, Mr. Todd retiring. They then formed
the firm of Benson & Houser, which firm has
done an excellent business for the last three
years at 408 Third Street, but have now moved
to the stand formerly occupied by Roff Sims &
Co., 420 Third Street.

This is an Introduction to the Public
—OH 1
F. C. Benson, vice president of The Macon
Shoe Co., is an old Maconite, having been rear
ed here. He is one of the most prominent bus
iness men of Macon. Eighteen years ago he
entered the clothing business with The Dan-
nenburg Co. After serving them for 13 years
he went in business with P. D. Todd, forming
the firm of Benson & Todd. This firm was in
business for two years and did a prosperous
business. Then Mr. W. F. Houser bought out
the interest of Mr. Todd, forming the firm of
Benson & Houser. This firm has done a most
wonderful business, and the only way they can
account for it is their fair dealing with their
fellow men.
This quartette of hustling young business men, seeing an excellent opening in Macon for another first-class and up-to-
date Shoe Store jumped at the first opening, which is a good one, No. 408 Third Street. We propose to do business on
the square. Whenever you buy a Shoe from us we will tell you what we know about it, and will back up what we say by
either refunding money or anything to please the trade that is just and equitable. We propose to carry a full line of Shoes
of all grades, so we will be able to please all. When you come to Macon make our place headquarters. We have a
nice place fixed up where you can leave bundles, eat your litnch or lounge around and rest.
Messrs. H. V. Balkcom and Frank W. Kilpatrick, formerly with Hoff Sims &; Co., will be found with us. Courteous treatment to all. !
We deliver packages to all outgoing trains, or anywnere in the city..
W. G. Middlebrooks, secretary and treasur
er of the Macon Shoe Co., is also a'Houston
county boy. He lived in the upper part of the
county until 1890, when he came to Macbn and
clerked in a fancy grocery store for two years,
then buying out his employer. . He has since
conducted this business' until two months ago,
when he sold an interest in this business to C.
Holleman. He then took an interest in
the Macon Shoe Co., and was elected to: the
office he now holds. He especially invites his
Houston county friends to come around and
see him. ' • . - '
