The met Hug nt the local executive com- |
millet k of the Epworth E. ague, which will ;

i>i much importance to those who are in- I
ti n med in the entertainment of the state I
confer, rice which niveus here in May.
The executive committee will meet with j
the Union Council, ami matter* of the I
greatest importance will be arranged ami i
the machinery for the entertainment of the
visitors put into operation at once.
The entertainment of the state confer
ence of the Epworth League is no small
matter, as some would suppose, it took At
lanta's best to look after ail of the visitors,
ami Macon will have to throw her doors
open in royal style to furnish shelter for
tin m all. In Atlanta there were about
2,o*)w delegate*, and it is probable that this
number will lie greatly increased when the
conference Is held in Macon. All of the
railroads will run reduced rates, and Ma
con being the central part of the state, all
of the le.iguers that can get off at ail will
come. Macon will have to provide homes
for them first ami then some place will
have to be provided in which to hold the
meetings. This matter will be discussed
at the meeting tonight.
The executive committee will appoint
sub-members of their committees and have
them affirm. <i by the Union Council. The
chairmen of all of the committees com
pose the exeeutiv* committee.
At Cent, miry church tonight a union
in cling of the liaguts of th" city will be
held. At thin time Rev. G. W. Matthews,
who is the chairman of the committee se
lect i <1 to get a suitable place for the hold
ing of the meetings of the state conference
in Macon, will make his report.
The plan of building a temporary audi
torium on the order of the Sam Jones Tab
ernacle sietm. to inert with general favor,
and the leagues of the city may decide on
this step. 'I In- piece of ground on the cor
ner of Poplar and First streets where eir
ctisi a are commonly held has been men
tion, d as the most suitable place for the
building of such a structure.
Every one knows that there is not a
building in Macon now H.at will entertain
the large crowd that will be present at the
meetings of lln conference. None of the
churches would hold I he crowds, nor would
the Academy of Music, ami it is now that
the great need for an auditorium in Macon
Is evident.
Something to Know.
It may be worth something to know that
the very best medicine for restoring the
tired-out nervous system to a lualthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. The medicine is
purely vegetable, ads by giving tone to
the nerve centers in the stomach, gently
stimulates the Liver and Kidneys, and aids
these organs in throwing off the impurities
In tiic blood. Electric Bitters improves
tlie appetite, aids digestion, and is pro
nounced by those who have tried it as tfie
very best blood purifit r and nerve tonic.

VERY QUIETLY,
But Appropriately, Gen. Lee's Birthday
Will be Celebrated in Macon.
Lee's birthday will be quietly but ap
propriately celebrated in Macon on in xt
Wednesday.
Tlie I’Jtii of January lias been set apart
ns a legal holiday in Georgia, and all the
schools in tlie state should be required to
observe it, as a filling memorial to the
great hero.
It has been well said that tlie best his
tory of a nation is written in the biogra
phies of Ils heroes. Those acquaint' d v ith
(lie truths of history know that one of the
most important periods in the nation’s
growth is embodied in the life ami charac
ter of Gen. Lee, and tills emphasizes the
great importance of a proper observance
of the day in tlie public schools of tlie state
—city and country alike.
In the public schools too little attention
is paid to the teaching of Southern his
tory. which should lie instilled into the
nilnd of < very pupil, and it is painful to
note that tlie cities of the state are lag
ging behind in this duty, while over the
rural district preparations are being made
to fittingly o', s tve the occasion with ap
propriate exercises.
In this connection may lie mentioned
the striking coineidinee that on tlie nine
teenth dav of January, 1861. at the old
capitol in Milledgeville. Georgia seced 'd.
That was a memorable day in the his
tory of the state, whi u giants were pitted
against each other Toombs leading the
secession movement and Xlexander 11.

MAY BE A HIGHWAYMAN.
A Negro Arrested Last Night May Have
Been a Highway Robber.
Deputy Sheriff Will Amason arrested a
light colored negro last night who gave
his name as Eulus Cutler and placed him
in jail on the charge of robbing by force.
Mr. Amason says that he is positive of
the negro’s guilt, and stated that he was
an eye witness to one of his crimes in
which he robbed an old negro man of
$1.50 after making him drunk.
Cutler claims that he lives in Americus.
He is a large negro and very muscular.
At night he would be taken for a white
man.
CENTRAL BONDS.
M. G. and A. Security Holders at Last Get
Their Money.
A portion of the first mortgage bonds of
the Central of Georgia Railroad Company
(Middle Georgia and Atlantic division, are
being distributed among the stockholders
of the Middle Georgia and Atlantic Rail
road Company.
The company received from the ’Central
of Georgia $520,060 in first mortgage
bonds, amounting to sS,l>oo per mile, the
Onlral agreeing to issue SI,OOO more per
mile to be expended in betterments on
che property.
Os the $520,000 in bonds, $168,000 went
to the bondholders of the Eatonton Branch
Railroad to take up the bonds issued to the
stockholders in that railroad by the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic people. This left
$352,000, a portion of which amount was
used to pay oft some indebtedness, leaving
a balance of about $270,000. From the last
/ amount the distribution was made yester
% day. the stockholders of the M Idle Gec.r
--* gia and Atlantic, or rather those who held
the certificates of <indebtedness amounting
to about $170,000, receiving 110 per cent
in Central bonds on their holdings. A
small balance of the bonds have been re
tained fen the treasury of the company to
meet other outstanding obligations.
The distribution was highly gratifying
to the holders of the .Middle Georgia and
Atlantic securities. They have been wait
ing several years for their money, and an
other delay was occasioned by the matter
being -taken into the courts by some of
the bondholders of the Eatonton Branch
Railroad Company, who sought to restrain
the delivery of the bonds by the Central,
and to have a receiver for them appoint
ed. This attempt was defeated in the
courts, it having been passed upon by the
supreme court, and the bonds were turned
over. These bonds are worth about 88
to the market.

TO MEET HERE.
The Omaha Exposition Com
mission Meets in Macon
Two Weeks Hence.
Two weeks from today the Omaha Expo
sition commission will meet in Macon.
The Chamber of Commerce will take the
matter up and a big meeting will be held.
The Atlanta members of tlie commission
will enlist the interest of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, and Atlanta will
send down a delegation. The council of
Atlanta will also probably name delegates
to join the meeting.
The Omaha Exposition commission for
Georgia met in the senate chamber at the
capitol in Atlanta yesterday morning and
h< Id an interesting conference as to the
rt presentation of Georgia at the Omaha
fair.
Committees were appointed to get up an
exhibit of different products and manu
factured goods.
Georgia is to have a building at the
Omaha fair, and. judging from the way
the commission has gone to work the Em
pire State of the South will make a show
ing unequaled by any other Southern state.
Tlie commission decided to enlist the aid
of the women of tlie state, and Chairman
Norf hen was instructed to appoint two
lady commissioners from each congres
sional district. At the Tennessee Exposi
tion Georgia’s women made a magnificent
showing, and even this may be surpassed
at Omaha.
SPEECHLESS THREE YEARS.
g
Unconscious Since Killing His Mother and
Shooting His Father.
Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 14.—Willie Gipp
awoke yesterday. It was his first approach
to consciousness since the nigiit lie killed
bis mother and shot his father three years
ago la: t November.
It bad been predicted that he would
never regain any of his faculties. Wiilie
is now 23 years old. He was employed as
a car inspector by the Lehigh Valley rail
road, and on the night of November 5, 1891,
he went to work as usual, but returned to
ills father’s house about 11 o'clock for his
overcoat. He put it on and started out
again, and his mother followed him to the
door to lock it after him, when he turned
and shot her in the head, killing her in
stantly. His father rushed from the bed
room and Willie shot him through the
cheek.
Willie escaped and twenty-four hours
later was found hiding in a barn, groping
about in a mad way for his hat. He was
taken to the asylum and put to bed, and
lias been there ever since. The case puz
zled the doctors.
In his three years in the asylum Willie
never spoke, and he received food automat
ically. Only once were the attendants
able to prevail on him to stand up, He
seemed to have no command of his body.
Half the time he lay staring at the ceiling,
half the time sleeping. While an attendant
stood at the other end of the dormitory
this morning he saw Willie walking to
ward him, rubbing his eyes and groping
along from bed to bed.
"Where am 1?" he asked the attendant.
He was told that he had been sick and
was at the hospital. He was able to give
his name and house address: said he was
20 years old. and inquired for his father
and mother. Then the doctor quieted him
and put him to sleep, fearing too much
tension on his newly awakened faculties.

Displayed Every Symptom of Hydrophobia
When Shot This Mornig.
A black dog. displaying every symptom
of hydrophobia, was killed on Orange street
this morning directly in front of Dr. Ge
winner's house.
The dog has been reported to the police
for several days as acting strangely, but
'they have not seen it. This morning a
gentleman driving down Orange street
was attracted by the dog trying to get
into his buggy. He was foaming at the
mouth, and the gentleman came to the
conclusion that he had hydrophobia and
he shot the dog. The dog was a black
pointer.
CA&.-TOITIA.
WELL PLEASED.
The School Superintendents Enjoy Their
Visit to Atlanta.
Speaking of the visit of the school su
perintendants to Atlanta, Constitution
says:
The superintendents were accompanied
j by State School Commissioner G. R. Glenn,
i who is taking an active interest in the
j work, and who 'is pleased to see the pro-
I gross made in the Atlanta schools.
The superintendents seemed to be well
1 pleased with what they have seen in At-
I lauta. and it is safe to say that they are
I satisfied with the entire school system.
■While each of the visitors is in charge of a
I school system himself, they are able to
| obtain ideas and excellent points from the
' A Jama schools. The system here is prob
: ably the most extensive in the state, and
I the superintendents are greatly interested
| in the workings of it.
j The visitors will probably complete their
I work of visiting the schools today. The
1 negro schools will require a great portion
j of their time, since they are anxious to see
: how suclr a large number of children are
j handled and to see the method used in
I these particular schools.
Professor Abbott is expected home to

'FREIGHT BATES
DISCUSSED.
The Wholesale Grocers Asso
ciation Will Take a Hand
in the Fight.
WILL TAKE FORMER STAND
And Will Demand a Better Rate
From the Railroads—Rumors of
a Combine Being Formed.
Mr. T. D. Tinsley, of the firm of Jaques
& Tinsley, has returned from a meeting
of the executive committee of Wholesale
Grocers Association held in Atlanta yes
terday.
The work of the committee is always in
executive session and the business is kept
secret. While the committee attended to
important business yesterday it is impos
sible to tell what was done. It is under
stood that the wholesale men decided to
take a firmer stand on the freight rate
question and to stick closer together.
The association, already the largest
commercial organization of the world, was
considerably enlarged by the acquisition
of a great number of new members yes
terday. The wholesale grocers of Okla
homa and Indian Territory came into the
association, thus bringing into the organi
zation every state and territory in the
South. The body of men who met in At
lanta control the price of nearly every
mouthful of food eaten in the South, so it
can easily be realized that their meetings
are of importance.
The following members of the committee
were present:
E. G. Leigh, Jr., president, Richtnonl;
W. B. Lockett. Knoxville; W. F. Vandi
ver, Montgomery; Irvin B. Tiedeman. Sa
vannah; George M. Jackson, Nashville;
W. J. Dobbs, Chattanooga; John C. Lee,
Augusta; H. C. Wood, Van Buren, Ark.;
H. B. Goodridge, Norfolk; Paul Mustin.
Augusta; J. E. Maddox, Atlanta; T. D.
Tinsley, Macon; H. Y. McCord, Atlanta;
J. G. Oglesby, Atlanta; Messrs. G. T.
Dodd and C. J. Kelly, of Atlanta; E. E.
Hooker, secretary, of Richmond.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that it is reported that a movement
is on foot to form a most gigantic combi
nation for the purjtose of controlling the
wholesale grocer business of the country.
It is said that the combination will bo
capitalized at $500,000 and that it will have
headquarters in Chicago with branches in
every city of any importance as a com
mercial center in the country.
Nothing is known here on this subject
but the fact remains that if such a com
bination is formed it will seriously affect
the business of the firms now doing busi
ness in Macon.
Consumption Positively Cured.
Mr. R B. Greeve, merchant, of Chil
howie, Va., certifies that he had consump
tion, w r as given up to die, sought all medi
cal treatment that money could procure,
tried all cough remedies he could hear of,
but got no relief; spent many nights sit
ting up in a chair; was induced to try Dr.
King’s New Discovery, and was cured by
the use of two bottles. For the past three
years has been attending to business, and
says Dr. King’s New Discovery is the
grandest remedy ever made, a sit has done
•so much for him and also for others in his
community. Dr. King’s New Discovery is
guaranteed for coughs, colds and consump
tion. It don't fail. Trial bottles free at

DIED AT DOVER'S FEET.
Broken Engagement Causes Mattie Buck
ley to End Her Life.
'ElizaJjethtown, Ky., Jan. 14.—A tele
phone message has been received here
from Temple Hill, Barren county, relating
one of the most shocking tragedies that
has 'happened In Kentucky for some time.
Miss Mattie Buckley, a pretty girl, 22
years old, took her own life by swallowing
ing an ounce of carbolic acid and died in
the presence of her sweetheart, Joe Simms,
in great agony.
When the rest of the family were at
supper she quietly entered t.he dining
room and secured a glass of water, which
the family supposed was for young Simms.
Whem she entered the parlor she poured
a powder of strychnine and an ounce of
carbolic acid 'into the glass, and, in the
presence of Simms drank it and fell to
the floor in great agony. Her screams
brought the family 'into the parlor, and
the suicide said: “Joe has broken our en
gagement, and I want to die."
The family is wealthy and prominent.
NEW RULES
M&ay Be Made at the Big L. A. W. Meeting
Next Month.
At the national assembly of the L. A. W.
in St. Louis next mouth a number of reso
lutions will be introduced looking toward
reforms in cycle racing.
Tom Eek, the well known trainer, has
two important resolutions which he will
spring. They read as follows:
That every professional who races in
America shall be entitled to join the
League of American Wheelmen upon pay
ment of $5, which shall be paid to the
chairman of the L. A. W. racing board in
order to sustain that branch of the league.
That no amateur shall be allowed to com
pete in races until he becomes a member
of the league, upon payment of the regular
fee required from any applicant.

Fitzsimmons Amused at the Offer —Julian ■

St. Paul. Jan. 14. —“Well, now, what do
you think of that?" was all that Fitzsim
mons would say when shown the Associa- !
ted Press dispatch from St. Louis, an- 1
Bouncing the offer from Corbett of $35,000 j
if Fitzsimmons would fight him. The ;
proposition seemed to amuse him and *he I
refused to consider it seriously, referring '
the inquirer to his manager. Little more :
was to be learned from Martin Julian, for ,
he promptly stated that in his opinion ■
Corbett was troubled with paresis and this
dispatch proved rt. He said further, that
the position of Fitzsimmons had already
been clearly stated and it was unnecessary
to waste words over it. He said particu-
I larly that he would consider no fight pro
posals until "orbett had whipped Maher,
and refused to talk of any other possibil

RIOTOUS GIRLS.
Hose Turned on Inmates of Home For In- i
corrigibles.
Denver, Col., Jan. 14.—'Bedlam reigned
for over eight hours Wednesday night at
the State Home for Incorrigible Girls.
Shrieking girls filled the lower balls and
refused to obey orders. Finally they be
came so noisy that the police had to be
called in. Five of the girls were locked up
in the basement. This, however, failed to
stop the clamor and a garden hose was re
sorted to. When the girls had been thor
oughly drenched they concluded to keep
quiet.
The rumpus started about 7:30 in the
evening. Matron Hauser endeavored to
persuade the girls to go to their rooms.
But the girls paraded the halls, singing,
shouting and throwing the furniture about
and doing anything else the spirit of mis
chief could suggest.
The police were received by derisive
shouts. A sergeant endeavored to remove
one of the ring leaders.' He promptly re
ceived a sharp right-hander in the eye.
The belligerents howled with joy. The
police then endeavored to remove the big
gest girl. Fighting, scratching and yell
ing, they pulled her around the hall, the
rest following and giving wdiat they could
in the w r ay of aid. Down in the cellar is
a long hail barred off from the rest of the
rooms, and into this by the hardest kind
of a fight the men pushed the five giris,
being assaulted with all kinds of epithets,
endearing and otherwise.
Finally one of the men brought in a
small garden hose. As the water increas
ed in quantity the yelling became louder
and a scampering to places of safety fol
lowed. irene Gross, the cause of all the
trouble, swore lustily and kept it up al
though the nozzle of the hose was inserted
in her mouth, but the cold, shivering girls
could not keep up the fight long, and mod
erate quiet soon reigned.

who treat Catarrh with sprays.

should know that these remedies
reach only the surface, and can

the proper treatment is to invite this

Catarrh
comes from diseased blood. Sprays

they do not reach the roots of the
