THOSE MACON CLAIMANTS.

Atlanta seems quite confident that these
Macon claimants who have made raid
on the funds of the recent State Fair in
Atlanta will not be any richer than they
are now when their claims have be N
passed upon. The amount these claimants
want is something like 81 eco.
IG the statement that is made at the At
lanta end of the line is true the Maconites
have no basis for their claims. which orig
mated when the State Fair was held in
Macon. under the auspices of the state
Agricultural Society. In other words. if
we understand the situation. the debts for
which the funds of the fair held at At
lanta are wanted are due from the State
Agricultural Society
But as a matter of fact, was the fair al
Atlanta an undertaking of the AgricuI-
tural Society? II it was not it is difficult
TO understand on what ground its mon avs
are claimed by these Macon creditors OF
the Agricultural Society. The assertion is
made that the fair al Atlanta was a purely
Atlanta enterprise, and ass Atlanta is a
rather thrifty city it made the fair pay.
1t doubtless intended it should be self
sustaining as well as bring trade to the
city. The Agricultural Society lent its
name to the enterprise and that is about
all it did.
But did the promoters of the fair make
The fair liable for The debts Of the Agri-
cultural Society by giving it out that it

II is hardly probable that il did. but The
claim of the Maconites would cease TO be
amusing if it should turn out that The
funds of the fair can be taken to pay the
debts due Macon claimants / would be

sLIp-suoD LEGISLATION.

Il seems TO us that the Mayor is right
IN the position he takes IN respect to the
bin pending in the L.egisla ure permit
ting eX-Confedcrate veterans to engage in
any Kind of business without the payment
OF license taxes. Doubtless the intention
Of the Pension Committee. which reported
the bin favorably, is that only
those who are in enlightened cir
cumstances SHAH be favored in the
manner proposed. and that il shall
not be possible for those who are
not ex-Confederate veterans TO carry on
businesses requiring licenses under cover
Of ihe names Of eX-Confederates, thus
avoiding the payment of license taxes. We
have not seen the text of the bill, but it
IS 10 be inferred from what the Mayor
says that the bin is very loosely drawn.
and chat under its provisions ia would be
ossible for various Kinds of business
which now pay pretty heavy license tax
to be carried on in this city without the
payment Of such a tax.
There is no doubt a willingness thar
Confederate veterans In Strengthened cir
cumstances shall be favored in every
reasonable way. but there is no reason
why those VINO are in comfortable circum-
stances should be given advantages IN
business not possessed by their fellow
citizens who are not nearly so well off
financially. and especially is there no rea-
son why a law should be enacted that
would open a way for companies, corpora
tons and even individuals, not entitled TO
be favored as ex-Confederate veterans
are to avoid the payment Of license taxes.
The pension law is not just what it was
intended it should be. If we are not mis-
taken the purpose was to give pensions to
ex-Confederates and widows of ex-Con-
federates who were in INDECENT circum-
stances. Many are dra wing pensions who
have ample incomes and are in every re-
spcct better off than the majority, perhaps.
OF those who help to pay the pensions.
There is a very general willingness and
even desire to assist -Confederates who
are in INDECENT circumstances, but there
is a Pretty strong sentiment against the
sort OF loose legislation which opens the
way for granting pensions to those who
have incomes sufficient for their support
in comfort, or who are well able to earn
a living. The Legislature is now finding
it difficult to raise a sufficient revenue for
the states needs without cutting down the
school fund In the cities the rate of tax

Many years ago a number of Peoria IN

Eastern hotel, dressed in his chiefs robes

The poor woman was greatly surprised
and embarrassed, but perhaps not SO much
as beVy of girls on q later occasion. In al
most every town some of the audience
would remain behind to get a better view
of the awful savages. One night Labadie

The New York Press hears. probably BY
some sort Of wireless mode of communi-
cation that Georgia is going to Rame one
OF her counties "Brumby," in honor of the
gallant flag lieutenant of that name. Thus
in the nomenclature of Georgia counties
there would appear the names of two
naval heroes, the other being Tattnan.
There are just two slight explanations TO
be made in connection with this matter.
one is that nothing has 50 far been done
toward adding "Brumby" to the list. The
other is that Tatmall county was not nam
ed in honor of Commodore Tattnall, but

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Courier-Journal Dem)
SAYS: 1.-THE building OF textile mills in
the South is keeping step with the develop
ment of her iron and steel industries and
converting her from an exclusively agrI-
cultural to a mixed agricultural and man
ufactuiing section. The South is too well
adapted TO agriculture for this industry
ever to be forced into the background as
IL has been n the sterile hills of New Eng
land but there is no reason why manu-
featuring should not be equally developed.
When that is done the South will be the
richest part of the nation

THE formation of a peanut trust is an
nounced simultaneously with demand
for an increased duty on peanuts Some
how or another the watchful Dingley was
nodding when the schedule on nuts was
reached. and so 1t happened that only
oue-half cent per pound was levied on them
in tae natural state. II shelled the duty
is / cent per pound. Now that q trust
with 100000 capital is formed to control
the trade. the tariff is to be raised If the
combine can secure the necessary votes"
The Nashville American Dem), writing
of the Brigham II. Roberts case. says:
There are many sides TO this Roberts
question. The people of the United States
are overwhelmingly against polygamy, of
course, but they ore also opposed to in
terfering with a citizens religious views
They believe the Mormon creed is MI

giumatize his children"

ed who visit his hospital and crowd his fine
suite of offices, but so great has his practice
grown that he has several trained assist
ants, each specialist in his particular
department, who are equally busy in adj
ministering to the suffering who seek re-
lief, which they have failed to obtain by
other methods of treatment.
1t has been asked, 'How did DR.. Down
ing obtain this enormous practice?" and
the answer will be of interest to our read
ers. When medical student, in addition
to the regular course of study pursued by
the other students, he received special in
struction in the diagnosis and treatment of
"a class of troubles which are usually neg
lected in the ordinary courses prescribed by
medical colleges, and not generally pursued
by medical students, whose first object
often seems to be to get through" college
and obtain diploma as easily as possible.
He became convinced that this important
class of diseases did not receive the atten-
ton it deserved from the medical profess
sion, and he decided upon a course which
would enable him to study these diseases
closely and accurately. He kept careful
record of every case he treated, of which
there were thousands every year. He had
lease record books printed expressly for
body upon which the several organs were
shown. These records proved very valu-
able. He was constantly on the alert for
new facts, which were recorded in these
case record books. The treatment which
he employed in each case and a careful
record of the result of the treatment was
kept. In this way nothing could be forgot
ten and the result was he found the most
successful method of treating diseases.
After thus carefully and scientifically in
vestigating the most favorable means of
combating disease in the largest hospitals
of America, he extended his research to the
medical centers Of Europe and visited in
turn the hospitals of London, Berlin, Wen
ma, Heidelberg and Paris, taking every adj
vantage of the wonderful facilities for ac-
quiring accurate knowledge in the treat
ment of much neglected class of diseased
conditions, to which he has since given his
attention.
