The knights of Labor declares that
it has ample evidence that William Me-
Kinley is "a bitter enemy of labor and
il asks labor to east its votes againsi
him and his associates" Mckinley is the
friend of whoever contribute most to
the campaign fund. That's why more
trusts have been organized during this
administration than in the previous hum
dred years.

A KNOTTY PROBLEM.

The Methodists at Concord had hard
problem TO wrestle with when they came
to consider the case of preacher who
declined to 90 to his appointment lasr
year because it paid only $40 a year.
He said he could not take his wife
and three children to circuit that did
not pay enough to support them. Mr..
Porter Graves, member of the Mt. Airy
bar, made an eloquent speech defending
the preacher who is an exemplary man.
The average salary Of missionary in
China is 5000, and if the church thinks
it takes that much TO support preacher
there. where living is cheaper than in
North Carolina, why not pay foreign
missionaries less and home workers
more, put their salaries on parity.

HIS SERVICES VALUABLE.
DR.. DOzier Greatly Improving the
Condition of the COnvictS.

Colonel Goodloe Yancy, secretary of
t e state penitentiary department,
speaks very highly of the work of DR.. r.
7. Dozier at the prison farm near Mil
ledgeville. In talking to reporter OF
the Macon Telegraph concerning the
convicts on the farm Col. Yancy said:
81 think that all told there are about
one hundred and seventy men, women
and children, and they are getting along
nicely. The superintendent, Mr.. Foster,
is experienced in the management of the
cOnvicts, and the farm is daily produc
ing evidences of the fact that be is
good farmer, and at the same time hu-
name uperintendent. DR.. r. T. Dozier,
the attending physician, is not only
keeping the camp healthy but is greatly
improving the condition of some of the
c0nvlcts who have been assigned to the
state farm by reason of their old age or
infirmitIes. Some of the men VIII are
sent to the farm sick are rapidly regain
ing their health, and it is not improba-
BILE that when they fully recover their
health they will be able to resume their
places on the list of ble~bOdied conVicts
Of the state. DR., Dozier has shown him
self to be good physician, as well as
good surgeon, and in this way his servi-
ces are quite valuable to the state. He is
now engaged in corresponding with the
physicians in charge of the camps from
which these invalid or disabled convicts
are sent to the state farm for the pur-
pose of procuring inf rmation relative
TO the nature of the lnfrmities of these
sick or manned convicts, so as to be able
to treat the n successfully, and | feel
satisfied that under his treatment he will
be able t. return many of these people
to the able-bodied list of conylcts in the

WHAT IT DOESN'T KNOW
4 COLUMBUS PAPER L A l. X 5
THROUGH ITS HAT.
Capture of a MOOnShiner Leads to Lot
of Ridiculous Assertions and
SIanderOuS InSinuatiOnS.

JIduuCl Jus
The following article, of which notice
is taken in THE News editorial columns,
is, minus the sensational headlines that
appeared over it, reproduced from the
Columbus Ledger of last Thursday, and
will be read with some amusement and
a degree of indignation by the people of
Terrell county:
THE first time in the history of Ter
rel county, an illicit distllery has been
discovered and destroyed in that county.
Terrell county is under the control of
the prohibitionists, and nothing but dis
pensary whiskey can be bought publicly
ID that county.
There is a d'spensary at Dawson, and
it is said that the meanest liquor ever
made in the world is dispensed at that
place, A sample of the stuff seen this
morning fully bears out the assertion.
"Up TO the present time Terrell county
has borne a reputation for being law
abiding community, but it is supposed
that the institution Of the dispensary for
the regular legal sale of liquor under the
police laws of the city, county, state and
SOV6EuHGuC IdWlO0obOoo.
"The dispensary is no doubt RESPONSE
bic for the illegal manufacture of whs-
KEY by the farmers of that county.
"Y esterday afternoon Deputy Collec-
tor Z. j. Hinton, of Griffin, Deputy
Marshal Williams of Elaville, and Mr..
D. +. Chapman, of Butler, returned
from a trip to Terrell county, where
they had gone on very important rad
for moonshine distillers. They were
completely successful in this instance,
and were as much surprised at what
they found as they were jubiIant over
their success.
"A bout seven miles north of Dawson,
on the place of Mr.. Daniel w. Eaton, an
old and respected farmer of that cOmmu-
nifty, the officers discovered the evidence
of Illicit distilling, and This was CONS
plete surprise to them. They had re-
ceived information that the still was IN
operation, but it was not at work when
they found it.
They, however, found large amount
Of beer, low wines and small amount
Of whiskey.
The worm of the still was found in
cellar under an out house, and other evil
dences of the presence of large outfit
were discovered.
The preparations for carrying on
the work were extensive, and much Iiq-
uor had evidently been made on the
place.
After destroying the outfit, except
the worm, which they brought back
with them, the officers returned to the
city, accompanied by the owner of the
place.
Mr.. Eaton is an old man, and had
evidently never been far from home, as
he expressed the greatest surprise at the
electric cars, and watched very closely
the working of the typewriter as the
commissioner took down the evidence.
F." He made no effort to deny his guilt
IN tn matter, and stated that he had
oeen making mOonshine whiskey for
The past two years.
He was held in the sum of $500 to
answer the charge at the next term OF
The United States court"

letter asserts, helped themselves freely
to the stores and whatever else they
could lay their hands on. The
grounds were searched, though in vain,
for Mataafa warriors. The letter fol-
lows uD this statement with bitter
and sarcastic personal attack upon
Captain Sturdee.
1t proceeds then to enumerate the
reasons that led to the establishment
of the provisional government, which,
IL is said, was to remain in existence
until an agreement with the signatory
powers regarding the future form of
the political conditions of Samoa had
been brought about. The letter con-
tinues:
In the meanwhile the provisional
government, under the able leadership
of Mataafa, had maintained such order
and security as under no former gov
ernment. Everybody felt secure of his
life and property, the copra production
in the country commenced again and
there were signs of prosperous times
coming back TO the white traders. No
body who represented material inter-
ests wanted a change of the existing
conditions, the British Consul and his
aid, Captain Sturdee, of course, except
ed. who in order to give vent to their
dissatisfaction and to demonstrate the
alleged insecurity maintained . strong
guard in the British Consulate and did
not give shore leave to the crews of
the warships, not to speak of other
ridiculous measures.
"On March the Philadelphia, under
Admiral Kautz, arrived here. when the
fate of the provisional government was
sealed. Admiral Kautz did not see fit to
try to get a just picture Of the Samoan
situation by extending his inquiries as
far as possible Chief Justice Cham
bers. who through his partial judgment
is responsible for the present trouble;
the English Con -ul, Maxse. and Cap
tain Sturdee were hi crown wit
nesses. The great many Germans well
informed on the conditions of the coun-
try, and more particularly the German
Consul General, from the beginning
were not considered. The American
Consul did not deem it worth while to
give the matter serious thought. and
complacently acquiesced in the propos-
ais Of Maxse and Sturdee. On March
II a conference Of the three Consuls
with the Admiral took place on board
the Philadelphia when the German
Consul protested with due energy
against the plan of the admiral to ex-
pei and completely dissolve the provis-
ional government, and use to this
end the whole force of the men-of- war.
In vain the German representative ex-
planned to him that the country was in
a condition of perfect tranquility and
that there was no reason why they
should not quietly wait for the decision
of the treaty powers.
"On March II Admiral Kautz issued
his proclamation, and did not state in
the same the text that all Consuls were

MORGAN SAYS PARTITION
IS THE ONLY SOLUTION

NEW YORK, April 16.-The Washington CORE
spondent of the Herald telegraphs Senator John l..
Morgan, leading member of the Foreign Affairs COM
mittee, asked for expression on the Samoan prop
lem said to-day:
There is but one permanent solution or the oa-
question That partition of the islands oy
the three great powers which have by common desire
just formed commission to reconcile the differences
between themselves and the native Samoans. The
United States, Great Britain and Germany WILL in my
judgment act most wisely if they Immediately pro-
ceed to settlement on the natural theory that little
good will result from temporizing policy toward
these warke and bloodthirsty savages
Whatever sentiment may entertain for the
rights Of Samoans, arbitrary law of a nature which
prevents an assimilation Of the people will
ever be an insurmountable barrier to peace prog
and civilization long as Governmental control
is by the weaker class.
THE Samoan question, in view Of the evident in
entions Of the United States Britain and Ger
many, has its lessons in country in the sub
jugation Of the African and the fate Of the In
dian. The spread Of the highest type of civilization
rapidly and ruthlessly encroaches upon barbarsm SUI
persttion and stupidity These stubborn laws of ma
The San Francisco call., 1899-04-17

agreed as to the proceeding against the
provisional government.
THE German representative, firmly
resolved not to have the German war
ship Fake participate in the impending
butchery, issued his counter proclama-
ton. The Mataafa men were not al
lowed the least time for consideration.
They evacuated Mulinuu. the seat of
the provisional government, on Mon
day, March g. but were already fired
upon when they, on Wednesday, had
not yet left the territory of the mu-
nicipality. In order to frighten the Ma
taafa men still more, all the Tanu men,
though very little inclined 10 fight
against their own people. were armed
by the English with rifles and plenty
of ammunition.
Among the victims of the present
lighting are also five brave marines
and it is a pity to s. that. if not all.
yet most of them have lost their lives
through the dullness Of their own COM
rades. That such things may happen
is only too easily explained. Officers
and crews, in consequence of the con-
tinued guard and patrol service, are
over-exercised and nervous and lose the
rest necessary for the handling of fire
arms. If a leaf rustled in the night. if
an animal moves, Immediately the guns
and arms are fired; in short. there is an
incredible waste of ammunition.
"Of course, as was to be expected
the anti-Ge1 an element in Samoa is
already now eagerly at work to make
the German Consul responsible for
everything, on the ground that he. by
refusing to participate IN the proceed
ings of the Americans and English en-
couraged the Mataafa men to resist
ance This charge is easily refuted. A
procedure of such brutality as that at
present being enacted against Mataafa
is contrary to all laws of humanity and
civilization, and ought to have been
rejected at the start by the unanimous
vote of all the Consuls.
How the tragedy of Mataafa and his
follower will end is not difficult to pre-
dict. If the Governments of England
and America do not put in time stop
to the action of their representatives
here they will have on their hands the
blood of good-hearted people driven
to death and destruction in maintain
ing it's ancient laws and customs"
