M The benefits immeasurable. of county fairs are The South Georgia fair is in prog ress at Yaldosta. It would be well if Roosevelt’s social equality episode becomes at once a closed incident. Several regiments will soon go to the Philippines to replace other reg iments that will be withdrawn. The Georgia legislature has pro duced evidence that the present ses sion is a strictly business affair. Czolgosz, the assassin of President McKinley, declared himself a Chris tian several days prior to his execu tion. The ex-mayors of Atlanta organ ized themselves into an association last Saturday, .with Hon. W. H. Hulsey as president. On account of the lateness of frost and continued heavy receipts, the speculators refuse to believe that the cotton crop is short. If Georgia prohibitionists will confine their efforts to the abolition of barrooms, we believe the people of the state will sustain them. Hon. Pobtex King, representative of Pulton county, and an ex-mayor of Atlanta, died suddenly at his home in that city last Thursday night. In a conflagration of business houses in Philadelphia last Friday property to the value of $500,000 was destroyed, and at least nineteen people were burned to death. The ladies of the American. dele gation to the Pan-American confer ence at Mexico City were entertain' ed last Saturday afternoon by Mad ame Diaz, wife of the president ol ! Mexico. One day last week a business col lege in Macon received nine applica tions for men to take good positions as bookkeepers and stenographers at salaries ranging from $35 to $75 per month. Caleb Powers, ex-secretary of state of Kentucky, jhas been convicted of complicity in' the conspiracy to as sassinate ther late Gov. Goebel of that state. He was sentenced to life imprisonment. * Virginia Confederate veterans have decided that hereafter military titles other than those speceifieelly desig nating the offices held, will not be attached to the officers of the vari ous camps of the organization of that state. It is reported from Washington that President Roosevelt will make a new departure on official lines, he having decided to write his mes sage to congress himself, without regard for the dictation of depart ment Secretaries. It is reported from Manila that Weylerism will be practiced in order to suppress the insurrection in Sa mar Island, where so many U. S. soldiers were recently killed. An or der for concentration in the towns has been issued. Hon. Warren Grice, representa tive of Pulaski county, is said to be a candidate for mayor of Hawkins- - ville. He was bom and reared in Perry, and we are glad to note and commend the prominence he has at tained through merit. There are thousands of men in Georgia who know that the evils of whiskey drinking are greatly in creased by the enticements of bar rooms and the social features of these establishments. These men would gladly see prohibition prevail, but they doubt the efficacy of any such law that has for its foundation only legislative enactment. That there will be a persistent ef fort to make prohibition the chief issue in the next Georgia state cam paign is accepted as a fact, and we believe it can be made successful if the campaign is conducted without bitterness ir keeping with the out line given in the following state ment reproduced from the Atlanta Constitution of last Saturday: “A joint meeting of the Georgia Prohibition Association and the in terdenominational temperance com mittee was held in Atlanta Thurs day evening. There were present members from Savannah, Rome, Warrenton, Macon and other points. The meeting was enthusiastic and harmonious, and a large amount of business was transacted. It is said that these organizations will take a prominent part in the next cam paign. It is not a political organi- xation. though it will work through the democratic party. It will re quire every candidate for the state house offices and the legislature and senate to make a positive statement of how they stand on the question of closing the barrooms in Georgia, and will throw all its influence to those candidates who will agree to abide the caucus action of the rep resentative temperance element in the next legislature. The people in Georgia who favor a bill for the ab olition of barrooms will be called on to abide this action, and much liter ature will be circulated throughout the state in favor of this bill.” I A bill to prohibit the sale of liq uor by the drink in Georgia could, we believe, be passed with the pro vision that it should be endorsed by a majority vote of the people before becoming a law. Such endorsement would surely be given. « " . ■ — Mr, JN0./ HODGES, Editor of The Rome Journal, I Dear Sir:— Please announce to the people of Houston County that With the Elks’ fair and veterans' reunion successfully concluded, the I citizens of Macon will now devote | themselves to the selection of mayor and six aldermen of that city.

Before the court of inquiry last Thursday and Friday Admiral Schley testified in his own behalf, giving a clear history of the Santiago cam paign, ending with the destruction of the Spanish fleet, as he saw it. As to the conclusion reached by the people, our Washington corres pondent gives a fair idea, as follows: “Admiral Schley’s testimony clears away the last shred of accusation brought against him. It explains many things imperfectly understood heretofore, and places the blame for them on the shoulders of Sampson himself, to whose neglect to send proper information they were due. It also proves conclusively the ex traordinary failure of the dispatch service of the department during the war; messengers sent to deliver important information having con fessed failure to do so, each believ ing that the other had already done as directed and that he himself was too late to impart anything worth mowing. All these things have been Led up to by the testimony of other witnesses until a picture of the whole proceedings rested, as in a photographic negative, in the minds of those who have followed the in quiry, needing only the straightfor ward narrative of Admiral Schley to bring it out in vivid lines. A curious Tot.Causes Night Alarm. “One night my brother’s baby was taken with Group,” writes Mrs. J. C. Snider, of Crittenden, Ky., “it seemed it would strangle before we conld get a doctor, so we gave it Dr. Kings New Discov ery, which gave quick relief and permanently cured it. We always keep it in the house to protect our children from Croup and Whoop ing Cough.
