PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE To the Senate and House of Representatives: We still continue in a period of unbounded prosperity. This prosperity is not the creature of law, but undoubtedly the laws under which we work have been made in order to increase the conditions which it poses to the salvation it would be easy enough to destroy it. There undoubtedly be periods of depression. The wave will creep, but the tide will advance. This nation is seated on a continent flashed by two great earthquakes, the seconds of pleners or, in a sense, ploheers themselves—of men winnowed out from among the nations of the old world by the energy, bodiness and love of advenience of their own cagar hearts. Such a nation so will surely wrest success from fertility. As a people we have played a large part in the world, and we are bent upon making it even better than the past. In particular the events of the 20th century years have delicately decided that for woe our place must be great among the nations, our success greatly, but we cannot avoid cruelty from when ether greets us with a kind of welcome if we would not pay a small part, if we should try, nil that would follow us, and if we would pay a large partign honour and shamelessly. but not people, the sons of the men of the civil war, the sons of the men who present and face the future high of heart and resuscitate of will. Ours is not the creed of the wrestling and the owl-winged trumpet emulator. We do not shrink from the struggle before us. 'There are problems abroad and still graver at home—but we know that we can solve them, and bring to the solitary the qualities of head and heart,' which were shown by the men who to the days of Washington rounded in the days of Lincoln, preserved it. No more important subject can come before commerce. The nationation of interstate business. This country cannot afford to sit supine on the plea of the people. The nation we are helpless in the presence of the new conditions and unable to grapple with the new conditions. The nation has arisen in connection with them. The power-of the congress to regulate interstate commerce is an absolute and un SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 6. 1902. The qualified grant and without limitations other than those prescribed by the constitution, and the authority to make all laws necessary and proper for executing this power, and I am satisfied that this power has not been exerted by statute books. It is evident. Therefore, that will restrictive of commercial freedom and entailing restraint upon national rights, and that the right of the congress and that a wise and reasonable law would be a necessary and proper exercise of congressional authority and that such ovis is should be emitted. I believe that mobiles polished, unjust discriminations which prevent or cripple traditional trade relations and other well in trust organizations and practices which injuriously affect inter-communities can be prevented under the power of the state through regulations on the presence with foreign nations and among the several states through regulations such commerce, the instrumentalities thereof and those engaged therein, to the consideration of the contests with a view to the passage of a law reasonable in its upon, which the questions can be finally adulterated that now raise doubts as to the purpose of the congress to accomplish the purposes above set forth by such shrink from amending the constitution as to secure beyond perseverance the Congress has not heretofore made any appropriation for the better enforcement stands. Very much has been done by the Department of Justice in securing the rights could be done if congress would make a special appropriation for this purpose, to the attorney general. One way in which the readjustment sought can be reached by the managers is to be desired that such treaties may be adopted. They can be used to widen our markets and to give us more flexibility to hire producers on the one hand, and on the other hand to secure in practical shape the necessary equipment longer needed for protection among our own people or when the minimum of damage done may be disregarded for the purposes of the compulsion. If it prove impossible to ratify the pending treaties and if there seem to be no need for them, the managers or to amend the pending treaties so that they can be ratified, then the same process of security—should be met by direct legislation. The cases in which the tariff can pro- tect an inconsiderable factor in the question; but, of course, if in any case it be mute an monopoly which works ill, no protectionist would object to such reduction of tariffs; but in my judgment, the tariff on anthracite coal should be removed and anthracite it might be protected on the free list. This would have no effect at all save in crises; but in crises it might be protected. Interest rates are a potent factor in business activity, and in order to protect the varying needs of the grasses and of wildly separated communities, and to prevent the which frequently affect legitimate business. It is necessary that there should be an ele- mentary effect on the nature of the banks and the natural economy of commerce and upon them should be required to furnish and maintain a circula- tion adequate to supply the needs of our foreign and foreign commerce, and the issue of this should be to regulated that a suffi- ficient business be established for the business interests of the country. It would be both unequiv and unneeded to systematically restruct our financial system which has been the growth of a century, but some additional legislation is. I think, desirable comprehensive to meet these requirements would transgress the appropriate limits of regulation, however that all future legislation on the subject should be with the view of enforcing it. The industries will automatically supply every legitimate demand of products industries and of commerce, not only of the industries but of circulation, and of making all kinds of money interchangeable and, at the will of the government, able into the established gold standards. I again call your attention to the need of getting the points outlined in my message to you at the first session of the present which such a bill has already passed the house. It is carnestly hoped that n secretary of commerce may be created, with a seat in the cabinet, to govern the questions affecting labor and capital, the growth and complexity of the organization, and the current state of the nation now find expression, the steady tendency toward the employment of capital in the country, and the increasing strides of this country toward leadership in the international business world justify an urgent demand for the creation$^2$ of a secretary of commerce leading commercial bodies in this country have invited in requesting its creation. It is clear that which has already passed the senate be enacted into law. The creation of such a secretary of commerce should endow the department with large powers, which could be imbedded as experience might show the need.$^3$ I hope soon to submit to the senate a reciprocal treaty with Cuba. On May 20 the senate will vote to grant the island by formally vacating Cuban soil and turning Cuba over to those whom her people have chosen as the first officials of the new republic. A convention with Great Britain has been concluded, which once landed in the United States for verification of reciprocal trade arrangements between the two countries. The land on substantially the lines of the convention formerly negotiated by the secretary of state, Mr Blair, will believe reciprocity will be clearly to the advantage of both countries. As civilization grows warfare becomes less relevant, the need for civilign relations. The last century has seen a marked diminution of wars between countries, and civilign powers are largely mere matters of international police duty, essential for international security. A sensible arbitration or some similar method should be employed if war to settls difficulties between civilized nations, an agreement that is greatly greater sufficiently to render it possible or necessarily desirable to invoke arbitration in every case where a civilized nation which sits at the Isleague is an event of good omen from which great consequences for the welfare of the nation may be foreseen where possible to invoke such a permanent tribunal than to create such an artil- It is a matter of sincere congratulation to our country that the United States and Mexico should have been the first to use the same language. But the United States was done last summer with most satisfactory results in the case of a claim at issue between us and our sister republic, France. The United States will serve as a precedent for others, in which not only the United States but foreign nations may take advantage of the already in existence at The Hague. I commend to the favorable consideration, which were the subject of careful examination. The congress has wisely provided that the United States will be able to if possible in Panama. The surrender general reports that we can undoubtedly abate the international company. Negotiations are now pending with Colombia to secure her assistance. We will be one of the greatest engineering feats of the twentieth century, a greater achievement than any other complished during the history of mankind. The work should be carried out as a concession to the United States of administration, and it should be begun under circumstances which will make it possible to all administrations to continue the policy. During the fall of 1991 a communication department at the University of Hawaii was created, whether permission would be granted by the president to a corporation to lay a cable from a point on the City of Hawaii to a point on the Gulf of Hawaii. A statement of conditions or terms upon which such corporation lay and operate a cable was volunteered. Inasmuch as the congress was shortly to be convened, the congress had been the subject of consideration by the congress for several years, it seemed to the congress until the congress had first an opportunity to net. The congress adjourned and matter in exactly the same condition in which it stood when the congress convened. Meanwhile it appears that the Commercial Pacific cable company had promptly proceeded with preparations for laying its cable from the University of Hawaii to a presidents for access to and use of soundings taken by the United States steampain company, the company urging that with access to much longer than if it were required to take soundings upon its own account, the company appeared important and desirable to attach certain conditions to the permission to lay the soundings if it should be granted. In consequence of this solicitation of the cable company certain condemnations were made, and the company willing, to allow access to these soundings and to consent to the landing and construction of the cable and additions or additions thereto imposed by the congress. This was deemed proper, especially in connection of some kind with China, a foreign country, was a part of the company's cordance with a line of precedents, Including President Grant's action in the case of the cable company in congress in his annual message of December, 1875, and the instance occurring in 1750 of the second French cable from St. Pierre, with a branch to Cape Cod. These conditions prescribed, among other things, a maximum rate for commercial shipping, a浊冰 line constructed a line from the Philippine islands to China, there being at presure Manila to Hongkong. The representatives of the cable company kept these conditions long under control, and they prepared for laying the cable. They have, however, at length exceeded to them, and coast and the Chinese empire by way of Honolulu and the Philippine islands is under control, expelling a few ships to be ready for business. Among the conditions is one reserving the power of the congress to modify or repeal any or all of them. A copy of the constitution of the United States of Porto Rico it is only necessary to say that the prosperity of the island and the wisdom with which it has been governed have been such as to make it serve as an instrument that is best in Incular administration. occasion instances or other situations occurred. Every effort has been made to ensure that the efforts have been completely successful. Every effort has also been made to detect and punish the wrongdoers. Every effort it remains true that few indeed have been the instances in which war has been civilized or barbarous forces where there has been so little wrongdoing by the vicious civilized or barbarous forces other hand, the amount of difficult, important and beneficent work which has been done is well high incalculable, and the civil authorities together, it may be questioned whether anywhere else in modern times the war has been constructive statesmenhip than our people have given in the Philippine Islands. High praise should be accorded very numerous—who have accepted the new conditions and joined with our representatives and wished good will with the welfare of the islands. Each individual unit of our navy should be the most efficient of its kind as regards the training of our sailors. We found in the world. I call your special attention to the need of providing for the threats we if we cannot do better than we are now doing as regards securing the most important types of sailormen, of sea mechanics. The veteran reamen of our warships are now being trained in the most type of navy which rides the waters of the world. They are unsurpassed in daring, in resouce and in experience. We edge of their profession. They deserve every consideration that can be shown them. They are not the only navy that no more possible to improvise a crew than it is possible to improvise a warship. To be a navy, we need a battery, and to send it afloat with a rayw crew, no matter how brave they were in the sea. The average capacity were encountered. Neither ships nor men can be improvised when war has begun. We need additional offices in order to properly man the ships now provided for and under construction. The ships should be greatly enlarged. At the same time that we thus and the offices where we must be trained for the treatment of those at the head of the list whose usefulness has become impaired, we must be forced if the service be taken over. The lamentable scarcity of officers and the large number of recruits and of inadequate new vessels as they have been commissioned has thrown upon our officers, and has given us a new set of grades, unusual labor and fatigue and has gravely strained their powers of endurance. In this strain it must continue for some time longer until more officers are graduated from the trained and skilful in their duties. In these difficulties incident upon the development of officers has been credible to the service, and the lieutenants and junior grades in particular have been cheerful which entitle them to the ungrudging thanks of who realize the disharringt trials argue to which they are of necessity subjected. "There is not a cloud on the horizon at present. There seems not the slightest chance of cloudiness. There is not a chance that this state of things may continue, and the way to injure its continuance is to provide for a thoroughly edifice that will invite trouble, and if trouble came would furnish disaster. Fatuous self-competence or vanity or chastity lightened in response to the fact that it is such a device as ours, and past experience has shown that such fatality in returning to competence for any purpose in life is NQ.19. military successes by a third point of byfar later once the crisis has occurred. The increase in the revenue of the postoffice department shows clearly the property of our people and the increasing activity of the postoffice. The receipts of the postoffice department for the fiscal year ending June 50 last amounted to $1,188,000. The receipts of the preceding year, the largest increase known in the history of the postal service. The magnitude of this increase is almost as large as the increase in postal receipts for the year 1850 amounted to but $8,518,067. Rural free delivery service is no longer in the environment that it became a fixed policy. The results following its introduction have fully justified the congress in the large appropriations that will be made in the average yearly increase in postoffice receipts in the rural districts of the country is about 2 per cent. The results of the study show that where rural free delivery service has best established to such an extent as to enable us to make comparisons the yearly increase has On Nov. 1, 2002, 11,600 rural free delivery offices had locates and served the territory of the United States available for rural free delivery services. Fliers grew now and more, and applications for the establishment of 10,748 additional routes. This shoot concatenated the vast area of the west and the need of further extend it as rapidly as possible. It is justified, furthermore, to extend the benefits to our rural population; it brings the men who live on the soil into close contact with the people in our farmer in daily touch with the markets; it is a potential educational force; it enhances the knowledge of the people and lessened, and will do much to check the undesirable current from country to city. It is to be hoped that the congress will make federal appropriations for the continuance of the service already established and for its further expansion. Few subjects of more importance have been addressed in the integration of the system of nationally aided migration for the arid regions of the far west. The integration of the system of nationally aided migration for the arid regions of the far west that fovea policy of national irrigation has been adopted the need of thorough and scientific forest management, and even over the prides land states. In no department of governmental work in recent years has there been greater success than the agriculture population, thereby showing them how most efficiently to help them themselves. There is no need of institution to help the agriculture population, thereby showing them how much easier the farmer is fundamentally necessary for the welfare of the republic as a wonton. In addition to such work as quarantine against diseases when there have been, much efficient help has been required to the farmer by the introduction of other methods, more efficient conditions in different portions of the country. New cereals have been established to the farmer by the introduction of peculiar conditions in different portions of the country.

Admiral Dewey resumed active sea duty Monday morning for the first time since his return to the United States from his ever-memorable cruise in Philippine waters. His four-starred pennant was hoisted on the president's yacht, Mayflower, at the Washington navy yard about 9 o'clock, and, accompanied by the members of his staff, the admiral sailed away to assume direct command of the large fleet engaged in the maneuvers in the Caribbean.

Dear Brethren : As I sitand think this.rainy Sun. day evening, the question comes te me: Do we really do our full duty to each other as brethren “united in a holy cause?” Do we practice what we preach? or are like the rest of the world, worshippers o the golden calf, forgetting that it is “the internal and not the externa qualities of man that makes a true magon?” Are we not inclined to pay more attention to the man of means and honor, than we de to the poor brother who can hardly “keey up his end?” These thoughts come to me after visiting several sick brethren. Let us remember out Lobligations avd look after all alike, It is not so important to know the ritial by head, but how do you live up to the spirit of the ritual —Mark A. Thomas, Crystal Lodge No. 112. Baptist Meeting: ‘A Baptist Union meeting of Mc- Intosh County was beld on last Sunday at the Elm Grove Buptist Chareh, Rev. R. H.

While all thos who were near to her and athers o her friends knew that she was se riously ill, yet. Wwhenidesth eame they could hardly realize'it, and, in fac itisa bard matter to reatize th death of such a noble person aa wa: Mrs.‘Gibbons. She lived a consis tent Christian Jife and this wa greatly manifested during the Jas! days and hoursof her life. With hes retentive memory and even with het weakness, she endeavored to repeat her favorite hymns and recite pas- sages from the bible. One of the last hymns that she recited entirely without missing a word was “How firm a foundation.” Just befors her death she wag surrounded by her sister and niece, she continued re- peating the word “Rest.” Every thing was done to make her last hours as comfortable as _posaible, and at the hour named she again uttered the word “Rest” with much emphasis and died. The funeral services took place from the First A. B. Church, Frank- lin equare,on Thursday alternoon. Despite the inclemency of the weath- er the services were well attended. The pastors of nearly every Baptist church were present and several of them paid glowing tribute to the deceased. Not one word that’ they uttered was perverted for hers was a life full of Christian zeal and works. | The eulogy of Rev. J. W: Carr, D D., her pastor, was befitting. The pall bearers were the deacons of the church. : ‘The'floral tributes were many. | Resolutions to the deceased were preeented form the Sunday School. Mrs. Gibbons was a member of the Ladies Reception Society and the Daughters of Zion ; the members of, each of these institutions turned out in large numbers to pay their last tribute of respect. After the con- clusion of the services at the graye and the remains were entered, the grave was literally covered with the floral offerings. The many grand deeds done, by Mre Gibbons are only known by those with whom she hig relieved. Hera was a missionary spirit and she went about it without the blare of trumpets. She was alco a zealous worker in the Sunday School and was active until her health prevented her, She attended many conventions of na- tional importance as a delegate from her church and always manifested the keenest interest in them all. She was an excellent Bible student and in the Sunday School work she has had but few superiors. Mrs. Gibbons has written essays on‘ sev- eral topics and they are all presery- ed, and with one of,her educational advantages they will compare favor- bly with any on similar subjects. Some years ago it was her privi- lege to visit Spellman Seminary at Atlanta, and so impressed was she with that vieit that the she wrote the followjog poem: | Before her death she in a succinct manner wrote her own history and we pive it below: e With Joy and with fear Ientered thetrain Seeking to enter the school room again— Seeking aschoolroom Is thistrue ?

LOGAN, Bole Agent, Perry and Randolph Streste.* Miss Maggie Welch, Secretary of the Detsey Ross Educational and Benevolent Society, writes from 328 North State street, Chicago, Ill., the following glowing words concerning Peruna: Last fall I caught the most severe cold I ever had in my life. I coughed night and day, and my lungs and throat became so sore that I was in great distress. All cough remedies nauseated me, and nothing afforded me relief until my doctor said rather in a joke, 'l guess Peruna is the only medicine that will cure you.' "I told him that I would certainly try it, and 'immediately sent for a bottle. I found that relief came the first day, and, as I kept taking it faithfully the cough gradually diminished and the soreness left me. It is fine."—Maggie Welch.

HAD MET BEFORE The judge, stern and authoritative, leaned out over his desk and looked down at the young belligerent, a boy of about 9, who had been brought in by a big policeman for judgment. Sizing the boy up and down over his glasses, the judge cleared his throat. "Young man," he said, "do you understand the ethics of swearing?" "Yes, sir," replied the urchin promptly, "I caddied for you last summer!" Judge, three minutes later—Prisoner discharged—New York Sun. Columbus had been on his voyage several weeks when the sailors became frightened by the variations of the compass. "But how can you tell the way the needle points?" inquired the chief engineer, suggesting retreat. "Sit on it!" roared the angry navigator. Satisfied by the logic of the answer the dissenters withdrew, while Christopher savagely boxed the compass.—New York Times. A Another club woman, Mrs. Haule, of Edgerton, Wis., tells how she was cured of irregularities and uterine trouble, terrible pains and backache by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "A while ago my health began to fail because of female troubles. The doctor did not help me. I remembered that my mother had used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound on many occasions for irregularities and uterine troubles, and I felt sure that it could not harm me at any rate to give it a trial. "I was certainly glad to find that within a week I felt much better, the terrible pains in my back and side were beginning to cease, and at the time of menstruation I did not have nearly as serious a time as heretofore, so I continued its use for two months, and at the end of that time I was like a new woman. I really have never felt better in my life, have not had a sick headache since, and weigh 20 pounds more than I ever did, so I unhesitatingly recommend Vegetable Compound."—Mrs. MAY HAULE, Edgerton, Wis., President Household Economics Club. —$5000 forfeit if original of above letter proving goodness cannot be produced.

Little Republic is Asked to Force Concha to Sign Treaty—Refusal A Washington special says: The Colombian government has been asked in a curt note by the United States minister to give peremptory orders to Minister Concha to sign the canal treaty or to grant some one else authority to act in his place. No answer has been received to this request up to the time the cabinet meeting ended Friday. If Colombia does not see fit to grant it, there is a good possibility that the South American republic will be given a taste of roughshod American diplomacy. In other words, there is a chance that this government will start in to build the canal without waiting for the consent of Colombia, but will rely entirely upon its purchase rights and franchise of the Panama Canal Company. The treaty which Minister Concha refuses to sign was prepared by the Colombian government and was accepted by the United States in its entirety. Concha's only excuse for not signing is that he does not consider it a good treaty. Minister Hart, at Bogota, asserts that the Colombian government has not changed its mind and that it wants the treaty signed. It is a mix-up that is sorely trying the patience of the officials in Washington. PRESIDENT'S "EXPLANATION" Greatly Pleases Colored Brother, But is Subject to Criticism. The Atlanta Constitution's Washington correspondent wires his paper as follows: "There is great rejoicing among the colored republican contingent here over President Roosevelt's letter of explanation on the negro question which was given to the press Thursday night. They seem to think that the president has at last reached a point where he will "stay put" in respect to a policy toward the negroes. Some of the president's strongest political supporters are not so enthusiastic over his action, however. While they do not indorse his position, they criticise his action in giving out explanations from the white house. This is the second one in a week, the other being with regard to the Delaware appointment which has given rise to so much criticism from anti-Addicks republicans. The possible bearing of this letter upon the chances of Dr. Crum to get that Charleston collectorship is being much discussed in republican political circles." BATTLE WITH HIGHWAYMEN. Citizens of Akron, Ohio, Have an Exciting Experience. Akron, Ohio, Wednesday morning, was the scene of a desperate attempt to rob the Exchange bank. The town was taken by a gang of safe blowers at 2:30 o'clock. The robbers captured and bound the two night watches and cut all the telephone wires leading out of the local exchange. The first explosion of dynamite at the bank aroused the citizens, who hastened to the scene with firearms. Many shots were exchanged, but the robbers escaped in a stolen buggy without any booty. The bank building was badly wrecked. Illinois In Snowy Robes Thanksgiving was white in central illinois.

Two Factions at Pensacola, Fla., Settle Their Differences. The fight between the two factions of bar pilots at Pensacola has come to an end.

The dismissal from the Russian army of the Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovitch, uncle of the czar, which was officially announced at St. Potersburg Monday, was due to his resent marriage to the Baronosa Pistolkoff, who got a divorce from her husband in order to marry the grand duke.

A Paris searcher after facts has made the discovery that to Balzac belongs the honor of having invented the wood-block pavement for streets. The first reference to it is found in that author's comedy, Mercadet, which was played at the Français, in which Mercadet dilates on the advantage of such pavement, since with wooden blocks in the streets barricades are impossible. INFERENCE. Marjorie—So he's been praising the other girls to you.—New York Times. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address F. J.
