cArCH-rENNY SHOWS.

No street fairs" "midways" or SIM
liar doubtful exhibitions, we believe,
are at present doing" the towns, and
incidentally doing" the people, Of
| Georgia It is therefore a good time
to say a word about such shows, since
adverse criticism will not work any
/ injury to the interests of those per-
sons through whose misguided efforts
/ the street fair" concerns have here
tofore been brought into the state and
/ set up in business. In a very great
many instances these catch-penny
shows have been operated in the name
/ of some charity; but it is mighty lit
tie that charity has ever got out of
| them.
| For a number of years, out Of defer
! ence to local influences brought to bear
in their behalf, these street fairs"
have been permitted by number of
| Georgia municipalities to occupy parks,
streets and other public places for the
purpose of giving their exhibitions,
without taxation or other city fee. And
in by far the greater number of in
stances, the result of the exhibitions
has been injury to legitimate business
and the Generalization of certain
classes of the people. 1t is probably
| safe to say that no municipality in the
state has ever received from an exhi-
bition of the class referred to anything
like adequate compensation for the
| ~
the show. AS a matter of fact, the
larger returns received from the shows
have been in trouble to the local man
ayers and the police.
AS a rule, the shows are fraudulent;
that is, they are not what they are
represented to be- The advertising
matter and the Spoilers lead pros
pective visitors to believe that the ex-
hibition in the tent is to be something
sparkling and magnificent; but once in
side, the show is found to be sloppy
and worthless, and in some instances
vile. There are probably exceptions
to the rule, but they are few and far
between. Most of them, in so far as
merit is concerned, ought really to pay
people to see them, instead of charg-
ing an admission fee.
While these poor and fraudulent shows
have been given police protection, ex-
emption from taxation, and the like,
at the expense of the people, the really
legitimate shows, such as John Rob
inson's, Buffalo Bills. Gentry's and
others have been made to pay heavy
privilege taxes. There is neither fair
ness, justice nor common sense in dis
eliminating against the good shows
and in favor of the bad. 1t is about
time that the people of the cities and
towns of Georgia made an end to the
granting of free privileges ITO fake
shows. Instead of being encouraged to
come into the state, they should be so
heavily taxed that they would keep

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Qnd) says: This conviction in Porto
Rico. and sentence to Imprisonment for
several years, of labor organizer on
charges of "conspiring to raise the
price OF labor" is a queer proceeding
to be recorded against American ter
ritory. There had been a general ad-
vance in prices due to currency
changes, and he strove to bring about
an equal advance in wages. This proves
10 be criminal conspiracy, while Il was
all right for the merchants to put up
prices. Spanish law is at fault. it is
said: but for how long is Spanish law
of this sort to remain in force?''
The Pittsburg Dispatch (Rep.) says
Probably, If Miss Stones release is
finally secured, this country will be
ready to swear off from attempts to
rescue kidnapped missionaries by pay
ing ransom for them. But with that
premium placed on the business il will
be no more than fair to notify all mis-
sionaries and other AmericaSs that IL
they venture into the regios of brig
andage they must take their own
risks"

seems to be taking a throw at every

Fairbanks being the latest head hit.

HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
Experiences Of Some Of Our
WealthieSt Men Good Health
The Keynote.

Success does not follow i'll health; on ths
contrary, it takes good health to make one
successful. A good appetite, ability to sleep
soundly all night long, and arise feeling
rested and refreshed, with a body that has
no pains or aches, and a clear brain, full of
vim, ideas and insight into business, is what
make success. The Vanderbilts, Goulds.
Astors, Havemeyers, and long list of
others that we could name, attribute their
wealth and success in business to long
hours and hard work, which were made
possible by good health. Bad health is the
cause of more failures in business than
anything else. " Blood Wine'' keeps the
health good. 1t cleanses every particle Of
blood that flows through your veins. Il
abstracts the impurities and germs, forces
them out of the body, and leaves only the
pure, rich blood, which feeds the weakened
tissues, and keeps one in good health,
" Blood Wine'' will give you clear brain,
so that you can think, reason, plan, and
succeed. 1t enables you to grasp situa.
ton quickly, to understand clearly. Ii
takes every ache and pain out of your sys.
TEN, and transforms every organ of your
body TO its normal healthy condition.
Blood Wine contains no wine or opiates.
simply medicines of wonderful curative
characteristics that never disappoint
In the business world 'Blood Wine ~ is a
great favorite with both men and women.
Storekeepers, clerks, stenographers, book.
keepers, lawyers, clergymen, and all re.
quiring powerful agent to clear the brain.

THE MCKINLEY MEMORIAL.

The two Mckinley memorial asso-
Citations seem to have arrived at an
understanding thati is entirely satisfac-
tory to them. The one that is raising
funds for the memorial at Canton is
to have the contributions from the en-
tire Countrywide free offerings of the
people, and the other, the one that is
seeking to erect a memorial in Wash
irgton, is to appeal to Congress for
that purpose.
The Canton Memorial Committee
thinks it will be able to raise about
100000. 1t has nearly $4,000 in sight,
and it has only begun work in earnest.
What the other committee will be
able to get from Congress it is impos-
sible to say. The probabilities are
that the effort to get an appropriation
will bring on an extended discussion.
There is no doubt feeling that there
are others to whom monuments should
be erected before one is erected to
Mckinley by the national government.
There are several whose public SER
vices We're much greater than those
IGlluGICu ny HAHls ANO monument has
been erected to Lincoln yet. It is
hardly probable that funds will be
voted from the treasury for a McKin-
ley monument before a Lincoln monu-
ment is erected.
President Mckinley was of course
very popular in all parts of the coun-
try, and he sought by all the means in
his power to eliminate whatever re-
manned of sectional feeling, but, in the
North at least. it will be said that
the services he rendered the country
were small in comparison with those
rendered by Lincoln and Grant. When
the test comes therefore there will be
a disposition to let the Mckinley me-
mortal wait until after memorials
have been erected to the memories of
men who fill larger place in the coun-
try's history.
1t is all right of course that the
memorial at Canton should be erected
at an early a day as possible. That
is wholly an affair of the people. Those
who want to contribute to II can do so
without feeling that an injustice is
being done to any other one of the ma
tion's great men. The building of a
memorial at the expense of the nation
is another matter.

A QUESTION FOR wa. BRANTLEY


Representative Brantley of the
eleventh district is doing all he can to
get the government to establish an ex-
pertinent station in South Georgia for
the benefit of the farmers who cult
waite sugar cane. 1t seems that the
Secretary of Agriculture is so well
satisfied with the report of DR.. Wiley,
the expert who recently visited Geor-
gia for the purpose of examining her
advantages for producing sugar and
syrup, that he will send a report to
Congress in favor of establishing such
a station.
A few days ago we published reso-
buttons adopted at meeting Of Flor
ida tobacco growers and sugar pro-
ducers, in which the position was
taken that If there were reciprocity
with Cuba. by which the duty on Gu
ban sugar and tobacco was greatly re-
duced,. it would be impossible to make
sugar OF syrup at a profit in either
Florida or South Georgia
Assuming that the position taken
by these Florida farmers is correct, is
it the purpose of Mr.. Brantley to ap-
prove or oppose reciprocity with Cuba ?
We do not ask this question for the
purpose of embarrassing him or any
other Congressman in the sugar and
tobacco growing sections of the South,
but simply for the purpose of bring
ing into prominence the difficulties
which the Cuban reciprocity question
presents.
We understand very we'll that there
is but little prospect of prosperity for
Cuba unless she can get a modih-
cation of the Dingley tariff-can get
our duties on her sugar and tobacco
greatly reduced. As we have pointed
cut several times. about the only
great sugar markets open to Cuban
sugar are those of this country and
Great Britain. Owing to the German
bounty system Germany can put sugar
into the English market for half a
cent a pound less than it costs Cuba
TO produce it. Our duty on raw sugar
such as Cuba produces, is 1eS5c per
pound. That is sufficient to shut it out
of our market. What is Cuba to do?
She cannot make a reciprocity treaty
that would give her a market for her
sugar and tobacco without our con-
sent. The Plat amendment makes
our consent necessary. 1t looks there
fore as if we ought to do something
for Cuba in the way of affording her
a market for her chief products. but
how can we do IL without injuring
home interests? That is one of the
questions which Mr.. Brantley and
other Congressman from the sugar
and tobacco sections will be required
to answer. Are not home interests
entitled to the first consideration?

Another KIND of "Gamhle. /.

Down in the basement of the Capt.
toll there is row of committee rooms
used by members of the Senate and
House who cannot get better ones up
stairs, says the Washington CORE
spondence of the New York World.
Over the door of each room is painted
the name of the occupant. Senator
Gamble of North Dakota, while waiting
for the Senate painter to prepare him
a sign, printed the word Gamble"
in sprawly capital letters on a larg-
sheet of paper and pasted it on the
frosted glass door.
Three visitors from New Mexico
wandered past yesterday afternoon
reading the signs on the doors When
they came to Senator CANDLES room
with its paper sign, one of them nudged
another and said, Let's go in and look
her over
They opened the door and walked in,
to the establishment of a mfld-manner-
ed young man at work at a typewriter
The three New Mexicans stood together
near the door and looked around. Final
ly one of them said, where's it?"
Where's what?' asked the young
man at the typewriter.
why the layout or the wheel?
What's the game, and how much is a
stack?
Il don't understand you," said the
young man at the typewriter.
Jaw, that's all right" said one OF
the party. We're all right, too. Open
up and we'll take a chance
BY this time the young man was be-
ginning to think the visitors were
crazy. He protested that he did not
know what the New MeXicans meant
and they, after a whispered conversa-
ton, stalked out into the hall.
Guess our game amt good enough
for him." was the only comment made
but it says Gamble on the sign, sure
enough"

What she meant of course, was No
body will help me; I shall drown
You see what a difference the transpo-
sition of those two small words
makes
But l don't know what that has

Resignation rumors have annoyed
Secretary Gage SO much lately that for
self-protection against correspondents
he has had two signs painted. On one
Of them is the legend. mo Resigna-
tion," and on the other Resigned"
He says he will hang the first one on
his office door and leave it there so
long as he remains in the cabinet
When he goes out he will hang the
Resigned" sign out for the benefit of
the newspaper men. The Secretary. it
is said, has formed the habit of say
ing to every newspaper man he meets,
'No, have not resigned to-day"
