IL this state the question 10 not which

majority will the silver ticket, headed
by Edgar Wilson for congress and Frank

The Standard and Dixie Companies in a
Fight for the Local Field.

The Standard and Dixie Companies in
Fight for the Local Field.
Merry war has begun in this city
between the Standard Oil Co. and the
Dixie OIL Co. The Standard has en-.
joyed in the past monopoly of the
field, but the Dixie has arrived within
the past week, planted its banner, and
proposes to capture the trade.
Mr.. A. o. Say Ter, who is the envoy
extraordinary OF the Dixie Co., ar
rived in the city about a week ago, es-
tablished an agency, used printers
ink to some extent, and canvassed the
trade. He was closely followed by
Ed Player,th peremipally interesting
representative of the Standard, who,
with Local Manager j. S. M. Symons,
proceeded to fortIfy the entrench-
ments of the Rockefeller enterprise.
The Standard people have preferred
charges before the chief of police that
the Dixie is doing business without
license, while they have TO pay 800

households of the city, Chief Beach

Ter demonstrated to him that the law

Standard does not regard this as fair,
and alleges that the Dixie is running
three wagons to his one and dong
precisely the same class of business.
The war promises to be an interest
ing one. The Dixie Co., which adver-
tises itself under the slogan, "Patron-
ize home industries" has been planting
agencies in nearly every town in the
south, and giving the big Standard
some fun for its money. The new
rival claims that it will capture the
local trade by superiority of goods,
but this, of course, remains to be seen.
At any rate, there is to be sharp

Charles j. Bayne, editor. poet ar d
Georgian, lectured on "The Things We
Might Have SaId," to a cultured and
appreciatiye audience, at the Mans
field street school building last night.
1t was the second lecture of the lyceum
course, and the appreciation of the
public for the work Of the lyceum was
evidenced by the fact that the aud
fence was much larger than that which
greeted the frat entertainer, Mr.. Beard.
Mr.. Bayne's theme admitted bril-
liant handling. and right well did he
improve the opportunity. So beauti-
fully worded were his pleasing peri
DDS that, although srtistically inter
spersed with quotations from the mas
ters, it was difficult to tell where the
original language ended and the
quoted thought began. Bayne i'm
pressed his audience az wonderful
word-painter and his charming de-
livery gave double briliance to his
polished thought.
The lecturer was appropriately in

audience was thoroughly pleased and

gratitude for the added interest which
he has impaired to Brunswick's first

A gentleman interested in mining
properties In the Rocky Mountain re-
gIon, says the New York Times. reports
an interesting change OF sentiment
among some OF those who few months
since were most devoted to the free
silver cause.
One Of the leaders of this class ac-
counted for It by two facts. One was
the remarkable prosperity of the class
to whom free silver had been proposed
as remedy for their misfortune and
relative poverty. The other was more
peculiar. 1.-THE truth IS" this gentle-
man said, IN substance, 1--WE don't look
on Wall street quite as we did When
we learned OF Astor's battery and the
kind OF boys that are In the Rough
Riders and heard that the first Of these
to be killed in battle was the son OF q
wealthy Wall street banker, we couldn't
quite feel as we used to about the plV-
tocrats."
There Is no solvent for class preju-
dice so prompt and searching as hui
man sympathy that goes to the heart.
The young men whose unselfish devo-
ton to their country has touched these
sIlYerItes Of the Far West have done
more to advance the cause OF civiliza-
ton than all the economists OF Cam
bridge could do In a lifetime OF arGu-
ment and teaching.

Volunteer Infantry, now in camp at

Mr.. Mason's remarks in order that the
boys in the regiment may be able to
read and preserve them, and also be-
cause the address, brief as 1t is, contains
some patriotic and wise urterances on a
phase OF the war which is Just now ex-
citing much discussion among our lead
ing men and In the press. We refer to
the discussion over the final disposition
OF what we have and shall take from
Spain during the war.
The point is that 1t is better now to
settle the war, to proceed to carry out
the campaign 70 victory and to sustain
the hands Of those at the front, than to
attempt to settle the questions lnvolV-
ing what is to be done with the newly
acquired territory, questions which call
for grave consideration, and not to be
settled in the heat and enthusiasm OF
war. They are questions which win
doubtless be wisely settled in their own
time, after the first business In hand is
determined.
Differences Of opinion among men re-
gardtng the public policy to be pursued
with regard to what the war will leave
on our hands must necessarily arise
even now, but the settlement of the
questions involved can safely be left to
the exlgencles Of the future. We are
obliged at present TO take the property
and territory OF Spain wherever we ind
It. That is an essential in order to whip
the "Dons" the quicker, but their dlspo-
clifton is a question for the future, and
not to be brought in to divide the coun-
try In time of united stand on the

The frightful disaster which befell the
French liner La Bourgogne, on the coast
of Nova Scotia on Monday, two days at-
ter sailing from New York, and which
resulted in the loss of hundreds OF lives,
was one of those ocean horrors which of
late years have been less frequent BY
reason OF the modern improvements in
steamship construction. The fact that
the collision occurred at Sable island.
which is described as a verltable ships
graveyard" and Is noted for the numer-
Gus wrecks and collisions that have oc-
CURED of Its fog-bound shores, tells
the story OF how 1t was possible that 1t
may have been IN unavoidable disaster,
owing TO peculiar conditions Of the
weather, although there Is n dIscrep-
aucy between the statement of the COM
mander of the Cromartyrshlre. the col
liding ship, and survivors of the unfor-
tunate steamer.
There Is horror in the thought that
hundreds of sleeping passengers should
be awakened by terrible shock, and
with scarcely warning, meet their
death in the sea. There is peculiar sad
ness in the fact that so many OF the pas
senSers who persisted were women and
children, and that OF the 200 saved out of
the 725 passengers and crew. but one
was a woman. though nearly 100 of the
listed cabin passengers were Of that sex.
The HIST OF steerage passengers Is not
given, but It IS matter of note that
most OF the saved were men from the
steerage, and coupled with this state
ment is one that men In their desperate
efforts to escape, OVERRIDE the weaker
passengers many Of them women. and
assisted them to their deaths.
II must have been heartrendIng
scene on that awful morning, and many
happy homes have been saddened by the
news of the disaster. Yet what IS to be
done about It? It is another OF those
awful tragedies Of the sea, which must
come now and then during the great
food tide of travel between the conti-
nents. We can only mourn for the dead
and shudder at the horror Of the clrcum-
stances. If the accident was due to negtt-
gence or carelessness on the part OF any
one, the blame may never be fixed. Even
Nlt were, those who went down with the
fated vessel could not thereby be re-
stored to the loved ones whom they babe
farewell but two days before.
AS most Of the victims Of the calamity
were Americans the whole country feels
more than a passing interest In their
fate and sympathy for those who have
been bereayed.
