Individual Drinking-Cu as Cam
paign Literature

Public opinion moves rapidly and
the innovation Of yesterday is the
commonplace of to-day. 1t is only
a short time since the suggestion Of
individual drinking-cups was re-
garded as an advanced hygienie
proposition. To-day they are not
only accepted as customary in many
parts Of the country but in one To-
cality, at least, they have been used
as factors in the political game. The
Newspapers of Carthage, Mo-, an
nounce that one of the candidates
for sheriff is giving a prrctical dem
onstration of his belief in the en-
forcement of. sanitary laws. In his
campaign for election he is using
paper folding sanitary drinking-cups
as campaign literature. Each cup
bears a picture of the candidate
and statement of his candidacy.
So far as we are aware, says The
Journal of the American Medical
Association, this is the first time
that the individual drinking-cup
has been used to promote politics
as well as good health. The pos
sibilitiesof this plan are almost un-
limited and numerous elaboration
no doubt suggest themselves to our
readers and to future candidates. 1t
is. encouraging to see the position
of a candidate on sanitary question
made an issue in political cam
pnign.

fortunes in this country was such
as to rival the accounts Of Aladdin
and his wonderful lamp. In 1896 a
millionaire was a novelty. Within
four years he had become a common
plaey. The profits of the Carnegie
Steel Company became so enormous
tina even the most prodigal giving
away of millions did not consume
the diviaends. Other corporations,
authorized by law to add anywhere
from 30 to 100 per cent to the leg
itimate price Of their goods, sud-
denly saw their profits quadruple or
be increased six times. The tax-im-
posing power had been turnad over
to private corporations, for the bur-
den Of the tariff did not rest so much
on the actual payment Of duties as
on the fact that the consumer was
forced to pay the equivalent Of that
duty to every corporation that manr
ufactured and sold domestically good
that were protected against foreign
competition.
Any statement concerning the
campaign in 1896 is one-sided and
incomplete if it ignores the issue Of
the coinage Of silver at 16 to l which
caused to vote against Bryan hum
dreds of thousands who ernestly
wished to see the tariff revised
downward instead Of upward. In
that election the currency question
overshadowed the tariff question,
and the widespread demand for
sound money!" in our opinion,
affected the result at the more pos
lively than the republican corrup-
ton fund.
Nevertheless the said fund was
raised, and a similar fund was raj
sed in 1900, 1904 and 1908. In each
case the great fairfield corporation
were eager to invest their money
with a view tosecure an administra-
ton that would protect their i'm
mensa profits and continue their es-
sentially unlawful privileges. AZ
though the News and Courier's
statement il regard to 1896 is one
sided, there is enough trutd in it, as
applied to the conditions in general
Of recent years, to make it impress
siye.

Determined TO Secure New
Train.

Tram,
That the residents along the line
of the Central from Smithyille to
Eufaula are Working hard TO secure
another train over that section Of
the road ismanitest from thefollow-
ling clipping, taken from the Cuth-
bert Leader:
Mn. jill. JAY, 81 Shellman, was
il the city Monday.
MI. JAY is much interested in the
movement 70 secure an early mofn-
ing train from Euiaula to Smith
vile on the Central road He has
been in correspondence with the
Central authorities, with the Macon
Board Of Trade and with citizensof
various towns interested in tie mat
ter, and has sent petitions for cir
culation to several places.
Mr. Jay thinks each town from
Eufaula to Bronwood ought to send
one or more delegates to some place
to be seiectea-p probably Macon
some day this week % that definite
plans 81 action might lie agreed up
on. The Macon CHAMBER Of Com-
MERGE has agreed to assist, and for
this reason it might be well to meet
there.
Next Monday the directors Of the
Central road will meet, and it is de-
sirrd that the matter be presented
properly to them.
Should this proposed train be put
on it would prove a great conyen-
fence to people in this section and
travelling men. II is proposed for
the train toleave Eufaulaabout APO
a. m., Cuthbert 5 and reach Smith
vile about 6, in time to connect
with the train for Albany, which
leaves Smithville. at g: 0and reaches
Macon a little after 8 a. M. Re
turning this train leaves Macon at
5 r, hl., reaching Smitllyille 5, in
time to connect with the train for
Albany, which leaves Smithville at
g. 10 and reaches Macona littleaftef
8 q. m. Returning, this train leaves
Macon about 5 p. M, reaching
Smithville about s, and would ar
rive at Cuthbert about 8 p. m.
With such service one could leave
Cuthbert in the morning, spend a
greater portion Of the day in Macon
and recch home before bedtime. Or
he could sped about two hours there
nd return home at 4: 10 p. m.
Or he could spend an hour or two
IA Macon and reach Atlanta shortly
after noon.
If he wisged he coyld leave Cutf-
bert at 5 in the morning, breakfast
in Albany and return home at 4 p.
m.
In other words, it would give us
IAN excellent schedule, such as Al
hany and stations between thereand
a d A on have been enjoying for
ome time.
1t is probable, if this train could
be secured, it would be well patro-
Missed soon as its convenience should
be realized BY She people along the
commercial travellers and others.
a petition for this train service
was circulatedin Cuthbert this week
by Mr.. r. L. Walker and it has
been frequently signed.
Since the above was written it has
been decided that a meeting Of dele
gates from places interested and off
cials Of the railroad will be held at
Monday Morning at 10 o'clock

First tional II
IL IL The

The postmaster general may make
provision for indemnity, insurance
and collection on delivery, with addi-
tional charges for such service, and
may, with the consent of the inter-
state commerce commission after in
vestigation, modify rates, weights and
zone distances, when experience has
demonstrated the need therefor.
Senator Hoke Smith is member Of
the postoffce committee of the sen
ate, and took very active part in
the framing Of the bill. He has given
an interview in which he explains
the bill in detail, showing how the
graduated scale of rates will operate
and how the parcels post will benefit
the people
The bill as it passed the house
provided for fiat rate of IL cents
per pound with a maximum of II
pounds. In other words, the cost
Of shipping a package would be the
same all over the United States. A
package of any weight up to eleven
pounds would cost as much to ship
from Macon to Atlanta as it would
cost to ship from Macon to Seattle.
The pOstofffce committee of the
senate, when the house bill came to
it, took a good deal of testimony on
the cost of transportation. Senator
Smith reached the conclusion that
fiat rate would work an injustice es-
pecially on the people Of Georgia,
because the farmers and the mer-
chants are principally interested in
a short haul parcels post. He, there
fore, contended for a graduated scale
of rates instead Of aat rate. being
joined by several senators on the
committee, and the house bill was
amended accordingly.
The senator's interview follows:
q do not think the public realizes
the value Of the parcels post measure
which passed at the session of CON
gress just adjourned l was on the
postoffce committee which had this
subject under consideration. Great
labor was given to the measure. Ex-
perts were examined and more than
ten volumes were prepared and pub
lished on the subject
cat the outset of the investigation,
farmers, as a rule, were advocating
what is known as uniform rate par
cells post; that is to say, a parcels
post with a. uniform charge for sery-
ice all over the. United States.
This measure aroused the hostil-
Ity of local merchants, and they, in
many instances. lined up against any
kind of parcels post. I reached the
conclusion that what is termed a fat
rate or a uniform rate all over the
United states for the parcels post
would be unwise, and that the right
lind Of parcels post would be benef-
,ial to all the peoDle-the farmers j
md the local merchants.
"a mistaken idea existed that be-
cause a uniform rate was charged for
etters, the government would carry
packages weighing as much as eleven
