WILL HONOR
LEE'SJIRTHOAY
Exercises in Macon Tomor
row Will Be Most Appro
priate.
HALF HOLIDAY IS SCHOOLS.
The Military Will Turn Out—Hon.
Claude Estes is Orator of the
Occasion.
General Robert E. Lee's birthday will
be appropriately, though quietly, observed
in Macon tomorrow.
This hero of the Southern cause still
lives in the hearts of all Southerners, and
not only in Macon, but all over the state
his virtues will be extolled tomorrow, and
his praises sung by thousands of voices.
That noble body of women, the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy, has taken the
initiative step in preparing the commem
orative exercises for Macon. At their last
meeting they arranged a program which
will be most appropriate.
The exercises will be opened at Mul
berry street church annex, and following
is the program as has been arranged:
Prayer, Rev. W. W. Pinson.
Music by the Gresham High School or
chestra.
Recitation, John Wilcox.
Duet, Mrs. Stallings and Mrs. Findlay.
Recitation, Richard Willingham.
Tribute to Sam Davis.
Song, Mrs. Clifford Williams, “Her
Bright Smile Haunts Me Still.”
Oration, Colonel Claude Estes.
Dixie, High School orchestra.
In selecting Mr. Estes as orator of the
occasion the ladles acted most wisely. Mr.
Estes’ ability as an orator is well known,
and under the inspiration of the love that
every Southerner has for that old man.
General Robert E. Lee, his eloquent utter
ances will find responsive echoes in the
hearts of all who hear him.
The whole program will be most inter
esting, and Dixie as it will be played at
the close of the exercises will stir each
loyal Southerner’s heart as it never fails
to do.
The military of the city will do honor
to the occasion. Some of the companies
will attend the exercises’ at the church in
uniform, while in the afternoon dress
parade will be formed on Second street.
In all of the schools appropriate exer
cises have been arranged to take place
from 11 to 12 o’clock. After 12 o’clock the
schools will be dismissed for the rest of
the day.
The exercises at Gresham High School
will be especially Interesting. Original
orations will be a part of the program.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Met this Morning and Transacted Only Rou
tine Business.
The county commissioners met in reg

Nothing of importance came up for their
consideration, however, and only routine
business was transacted.
The bond for the contractors on the new
annex to the jail has net yet arrived.
CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant Simple, But Safe Effectual Cure
for it.
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
some times with sour or watery risings, a
formation of gasses, causing pressure on
the heart and lungs and difficult breath
ing; headache, fickle appetite, nervous
ness and a general played out, languid
feeling.
There is often a foul taste In the mouth,
coated tongue, and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it w r ould show a
slimy, inflamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before it has time to ferment and
irritate the delicate mucouss surfaces of
the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy diges
tion is the one necessary thing to do, and
when normal digestion is secured the ca
tarrhal condition will have disappeared.
According to Dr. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet composed of Diastaste, Asep
tic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and
fruit acids.
These cablets can now be found at all
drug steres under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a patent
medicine, can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite and
through digestion will follow their regu
lar use after meals.
Mr. N. J. Booher, 2710 Dearborn street,
Chicago, 111., writes: ‘ Catarrh is a lo.al
condition.resulting from a neglected cold
in the head, whereby the lining membrane
of the nose becomes inflamed and the poi
sonous discharge therefrom, passing back
ward into the throat, reaches the stomach,
thus producing catarrh of the stomach.
Medical authorities ps-escribed for me
three years for catarrh of the stomach
without cure, but today I am the happiest
of men after using only one box of Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find appro
priate words to express my good feeling.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets Is the safest
preparation as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form of
indigestion, catarrh of stomach, bilious
ness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloat
ing after meals.
Send for little book, mailed free, on
stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich. The tablets can be
found a drug store.

BOSTONIANS.
Greatest Mu s ical Attraction of the Season
at the Academy on Thursday Night.
Perhaps the greatest attraction of the
season will be ait the Academy of Music
on Thursday night.
Those who have seen “The Bostonians”
before will see them again -this year and
will see them in the strongest attraction
the’y ‘have yet offered to the public.
It would be a dullard indeed who has
not heard of -this famous organization.
What the prominent stock -companies are
to the dramatic stage, “The Bostonians”
is to the lyric. In their work they have
no rivals and there is a smoothness and
finish to their ensembles and a spirited
touch to individual effort which only comes
from long association and heartiest co
operation.
The principal artists of "The Boston
ians” are all stars of the first magnitude
and include the most famous names of the
light opera stage.
This year the roster shows the follow
ing noted singers: Henry Clay Barnabee,
William H. MacDonald, Jessie Bartlett
Davis, Eugene Cowles, Alice Neilson,
George Frothingham, Josephine Bartlett,
William E. Philip, Grafton Baker, Harry
Brown, W. H. Fitzgerald, Nellie Guisti,
Helena Fredericks, Jennie Hawley, Chas.
R. Hawley and others, supported by a bril
liant chorus and augmented orchestra
under the baton of S. L. Studley.
A crowded house will greet this great
company who will render the new opera,
“The Serenade.”
A DELIGHTFUL TREAT.
Marion Mhnalo and John Mason will be
again seen as the Academy next Tuesday
night in that delightful play, “Friend
Fritz.” The scenery and costumes are all
new. and this delightful play should be
greeted by the largest eudlneee of the
season.
ROLAND REED FRIDAY.
Roland Reed will be one of the impor
tant stars to visit Macon this season and
there is no little interest manifested in the
production of his new play Friday night.
It is aid to be one of the best hits of the
season. Charming Isadore Rush will be
seen in a happy role.
At the matinee “The Wrong iMr.
Wright” will be the play.
The sale of seats for Mr. Roland Reed’s
engagement will open Thursday, and the
indications are that the comedian will
play one of the best engagements he has
ever had in this city. There appears to be
great interest manifested in the apearance
of charming Isadore Rush.
The matinee engagement will be for the
benefit of the Ladies’ Auxiliary Hospital
Association, Young Ladies’ Free Kinder
garten and the Public Library (Association.

MAYOR PRICE
ON HOLDUPS.
He Says that the Experts Have
Been Very Much
Exaggerated.
CHIEF OF POLICE REPORT
On What Has Been Done Since the
Beginning of the Year in
Police Circles.
While there is no doubt that some peo
ple have been held up and a few have been
robbed of small sums of money, the police
>and the detectives are of the opinion that
entirely too much importance has been
attached t* the highway robbery feature
of .Macon history for the last few weeks.
Mayor Price, too, is of the same opin
ion. A News reporter asked him for his
views on the subject this morning, and he
stated that while he was somewhat re
luctant to express himself he said that he
was fully convinced that the public had
been unnecessarily scared.
“Women and children In Macon,” he
said, “have been frightened by the reports
of the hold up business all over the city
of 'Macon. But as a matter of fact the
whole thing has been very much exagger
ated. The police have been doing good
work and they are entitled to credit for it,
and I am doing all I can and I think suc
cessfully to have the town orderly.
“Because a large number of tramps have
been arrested is no evidence that the city
has been a rest for highwaymen.
‘‘Half of the reports about highwaymen
have been utterly untrue when we w’ent
to ivestigate them, and the other quarter
have been exaggerated from the request of
a tramp for something to eat into a reg
ular highway robbery.
“The people have been frightened by re
ports that men started in a joke and have
gathered as they went. The fact of the
matter is that these reports do the city
incalculable barm and the police force an
injustice.
“Here is a report I have just received
from the chief of police on the subject,
of the work of the police for the half of
January.”
The mayor produced the document,
which is interesting and will afford a great
deal of information to the general public.
In his report the chief of police say.s:
From January 1 to January 16 inclu
sive, the -police -arrested 54 suspicious or
vagrant characters, 36 whites and 18
blacks. There were 18 more whites than
blacks.
“Os these 54 the -recorder sentenced 44
to the chaingang and dismissed 10.
“The total amount of money in the pos
sion of the 44 sentenced to the chain gang
was $14.28. Os this sum, John O’Brien, a
white man, had $13.17, and the remaing
43 had only sl.ll, or about 2 1 /. cents each.
The recorder imposed on O’Berry a fine
of $lO or thirty days on the gang. He
preferred to serve on the gang rather than
pay the fine. With $13.17 in his pocket
O’Berry was begging supper from house to
house on College street, and was suspected
of trying to rob a colored girl.
“Only 4 of the 54 “suspects” and va
grants lived in Macon. Moslt of the whites
are from the North.
“The police have arrested during the
past week five white men and two negroes
charged with “holding up” persons. The
white men are now serving sentences on
the chaingang. One of the negroes has
been Committed to jail to await trial in
the Bib superior court, and the other ne
gro is now in the barracks for commit
ment.
“Oreiar, the white man charged with at
, tacking Miss Tuberville, was arrested and
sentenced to the chaingang for six months.
“The total number of arrests made by
the police for offenses of all sorts for the
•first half of the present month is 174, or
an average of 11 per day for 16 days.
“Today, January 17, the recorder sen
tenced twelve white mon to the chain
gang for vagrancy.
SOUTH MACON DOTS.
If any community, city, town, village or
suburb between the great lakes and the
gulf of Mexico has a better mail -carrier
than Joe Haggison, the citizens of South
Macon are perfectly willing for him to
remain where heis, Joe is good enough for
them.
Several weeks ago the clever postmaster,
J. iH. Hertz, extended the mail service
over quite an area of new territory in
South Macon, which included the western
heights. Joe was then appealed to for a
mail box tb be placed at Ellis’ store. Joe
went to work in earnest, using his glibe

WHOSOEVER~WILL.
An Able Sermon Preached
At Grace Church Last
Night.
Grace church was again filled last night
with an interesited congregation to hear
the great revivalist, Rev. J. L. Morrell,
preach an effective sermon from Rev. 22,
17. "And the spirit and the bride say
come, and let him that heareth say come,
and let him that is athirst, come, and
whosoever will let him take of the water
of life freely.”
The preacher sand that he was glad of
the whosoever in his text, for that includ
ed him and everybody else. The Holy
Spirit, 'he said, had called every man, wo
man and child who had come to the year*
of accountability, in the house to come to
Christ. The church was now calling to
sinners to come to Christ, and some of
those who had accepted the invitation of
the gospel during these meetings, were
now calling others to come to Christ. Read
the invitation. It does not say, whoever is
•afraid he will not hold out, come; it does
not say, whosoever is not fit, come, but it
says, whosoever will, and that includes
the whole world. There are nine hun
dred and sixty-seven invitations in the
Bible to come to Christ, and I am glad
that in my text, in the last chapter, and
in nearly the last verse in the Bible, the
invitation is broad enough to take in the
human family. But the spirit and the
brMe and all the good of earth and all the
saints in heaven, and God himself, can
not sove you, unless you will to come.
I am glad that salvation is a matter of
choiee. After the sermon quite a num
ber of new converts were received into
the church, and at the after service, the
altar was filled with penitnets, and there
were others added to the church of such
as should be saved. The services will be
continued during the week. Preaching at
9:30 in the morning and at 7:30 at night.
This may be Mr. Morrell’s last week in
Macon and it is a rare opportunity for the
people to hear one of the strongest preach
ers and most useful men in the church.

The average

He has not time

V the best treat
ment for these
delicate troubles.
' He relies upon
“local treatment”
which seldom does any good, and often
does harm. No wonder women get dis
couraged. but they needn't.
Any woman suffering from these delicate
complaints who will write to Dr. R. V.
Pierce, chief consulting physician of the
Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buf
falo, N. Y., will receive, free of charge, a
letter of sound professional advice and sug
gestion for home-treatment. Dr. Pierce is
one of the most skillful specialists in the
world in treating women’s diseases, and his
“Favorite Prescription” cures the most
obstinate difficulties, when all else fails.
J. F. Beverly, Esq., of Goliad, Golind Co., Tex.,
writes: “My wife suffered from cold feet and
fainting spells, heaviness and soreness in the
lower part of the stomach, also heart trouble,
loss ot appetite, tired feelings, rest broken—
could not sleep. I tried five doctors. None of
them gave her relief. She suffered five years.
She was helpless could not walk from the
bed to the fire-place. She used two bottles of
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, one bottle
of Dr. Pierce's Pellets, and the local home-treat
ment he advised. Before my wife had used the
first bottle of the medicine she felt the good ef
fect and said one bottle would be enough. I in
sisted on her using two bottles, and she did so.
Now she is sound and well, and I can praise
your medicine to the extreme.”
CARNIVAL ASSOCIAI ION.
A Meeting Will Be Held This Afternoon to
Discuss Matters.
A meeting of the executive committee
of the Macon Carnival Association will be
held at the Chamber of Commerce this af
ternoon at 4 o’clock. There is no special
object in the meeting further than to dis
cuss plans for the -next carnival and keep
up interest.
There is a very little that can be done
this early in the year. No definite ar
rangements can be made for entertain
ments for a date so far ahead. But Pres
ident Waxelbaum says he thinks it a good
idea to have meetings occasionally and
keep the members of the association inter
ested.
Mr. George Macdonald, who said that
he thought he would be forced to resign
from his position as chief of the bureau
of promotion and publicity, will be
pressed to hold his place as it -would be a
hard matter to get one more flitted for it
than Mr. Macdonald.
