81; 4 heavy rain and wind storm passed
over this city and vicinity last night,

Heavy rains have fallen in Ebert

OF the dry, hot weather has been fully
One-fourth.

The Old Slave Mart.
ZION tAe Macon Telearaph.

""C 1N1tNW ACtckF WIN
An incendiary fire on Sunday night,
about 10 O'Clock, came near destroying
the only building in Macon in which
slaves were bought and sold, and which
was built especially for that purpose
The building is on Poplar street, next to
the Jewish synagogue, and was erected
during the 1908 for a slave mart. IL was
built of brick, two stories high, and was
enclosed by a high brick wall. The front
offices had barred windows, and in these
rooms the negroes were exhibited to the
purchasers. The IRON bars are there yet.
Many a likely negro fellow changed mas
tiers in this building, the prices ranging
from $500 to $1,000.
in 1862 the sign "NegrOes bought and
sold was taken down and the property
purchased by the Confederate govern
ment, and the mart became a laboratory
under the charge of Maj. L. G. Downie.
Until Macon was taken by Gen. Wilson
this house furnished the army with mil
lions Of cartridges, shells, shrapnel and
canister shot, friction primers, fuses, Ro-
man candles. signal rockets, etc. Five
hundred persons, the majority of them be-
ing girls, were given employment in the
building and its annexes.
Al the close of the war the building was
sold by a United States marshal and was
purchased by Mr.. Jacob Dinkler. Since
that tire it has been used for various pur-
pOses-a boarding house, negro dance
hall, carriage shop, stable-and now it is
occupied by Mr.. Lee Davis as a carriage
repair shop.
Persons passing by it on Sunday night
saw smoke issuing from the rear portion
and gave the alarm. The department
made a prompt response, and on discover
ing the location of the blaze eoon extin-
guished it. Morning revealed the fact
aIaN - -
well as an incendiary attempt. The door
OF a small stock had been pried open,
the lock broken, and a quantity of stuff
taken.

It is rather peculiar thing, by the
way, that every man on earth believes
that he can run a newspaper. The
editor Of every prominent journal re-
ceives bushels Of letters every week
from ungrammatical and illiterate
people telling him exactly what to do
with his paper. Every man who at
tends play in New York knows more
about it than the professional critic
who writes his opinions for the fol-
lowing days paper, and the politician
does not live who could not give the
shrewdest newspaper man points con-
cerning the attitude of any particular
journal during political campaign.
Aside from this. every whipper
snapper who stands behind counter
criticizns with shallow pated virulence
the editorials he reads in his morning
paper. and [ do not believe there is
man in any business whatsoever in
town. who is not thoroughly convin-
ced that if every other means Of gain
ing livelihood should fail, he could
step into newspaper Office and make
a distinguished success as a writer.
Nothing proves this more thorough
ly than a glance at the applicants for
positions for reporters on the New
York press.
The managing editor Of big daily
here, told me a short time since that
he had an average of three call every
day the year round, for positions on
his paper. "They come,'' he said.
'from men who have studied law and
can get nothing to do, who have grad
uated as physicians and are starving
for patients, who have failed in busi-
ness, who are fresh from college and
who have been broken down in various
walks of life. Not one Of them has a
shadow Of doubt but that he will make
a clever writer, and yet the majority
of them have had no experience what
ever in newspaper offices and prove
by their maudlin and mushy ideas how
thoroughly out of place they would
be as reporters. Bless your soul, you
can't convince them that they are
wrong. They consider you an enemy
forever, after you have refused to
accept their services.

Personal Liberty Democracy.

Personal Liberty Democracy.
Mr.. Fitch says in another column
that the Prohibition party covers the
whole ground. The trouble with it is
it covers too much ground for the size
of it. Tits young party, and it
would be much to its credit if it should
confine itself to State work, where it
would not necessarily work in the in
terest Of the brewers.
1t is no credit to any party to be
able merely to decide the contest
between two giant partieswhich are so
nearly equal as the Republican and
Democratic parties are. Especially
is it no credit when that party must
necessarily aid the one of the great
parties which is the bitterest enemy
of prohibition.
There is not the remotest prospect
of success for the National Prohibition
party, and verybody but third party
enthusiast knows that it greatly injur-
ed itself by helping the Republican
brewers to elect Cleveland. Every in
telligent man knows that the leading
Democratic statesmen and editors OF
the country object to prohibition on
constitutional grounds, while the Re-
publicans do not. Here is what Gov
ernor Hoadly says in his message about
constitutional amendment: II would
not vote for such an amendment, and
cannot advise its submission to popular
vote. It's adoption would be an inva-
sion of individual liberty, which no
majority has the right to prescribe to
an unwilling minority"
Suppose President Cleveland should
be called upon to appoint majority
Of the judges of the Supreme Court,
and they should take this Democratic
view Of prohibition, what would be
the use Of prohibition party then
The Democratic theory before the
war was-and the Democratic judges
always concurred-that slave had no
rights which a white man was bound
to respect. Now it is. that white
man has no rights which the rum traf-
fic is bound to respect. Whenever
the third party can be spread out with
ont running such risks as this, sensi-
BILE Republican Prohibitionisfs will GO
into it. But until that time shall
come the Prohibition has not the ghost
of chance of success, and will only
aid the brewers as it did in the election
Of Clevelend.
