MAYOR PRICES ANNUAL MESSAGE
READ Tl] COUNCIL LAST NIGHT.
A Brief Bui Interesting Document Full of Good Things About
Macon and Her Future Welfare.
YEARS’ RECORD
Speaks Well for What Has
Been Done and Augurs
Well for the Future.
HARMONY PREVAILS
Between the People and the Ad
ministration More Than Ever
Before in the History of the
Town Compliments to
Officials.
Mayor Price read his annual message at
the regular meeting of council last night.
It Is by no means a lengthy document.
On the contrary, it is unusually short, but
.it covers the ground very fully and is a
strong review of the work of the adminis
tiation for the past year.
He points with pride to the magnificent
showing made by the mortuary report for
the city and attributes the health of the
< Ity to the sanitary sewers and the gor.d
work of the health department.
The mayor alludes to the commencement
of paving in Macon as marking the reali
zation of his hobby for many years past
an.l he expresses the belief that soon the
whole city will be well
The message points out that there has
never been a time when the people and
•the city government have worked togeth
er so harmoniously and from this condition
he anticipates much good. He holies, he
says for the speedy annexation of the su
burbs looking to a greater Macon.
The mayor alludis to all the city offi
cials and heads of departments tn the most
flattering terms. He reviews the different
departments of finance, public improve
ment. Board of health, fire department,
charities, police department, alluding in
some detail to the good work done by all.
In the opinion of .Mayor Trice the city
erf Macon never had a brighter future be
fore it than if now has and he promises
recommendations in the future that wi 1.
with the co-operation of council, add to
the good record of the cast.
Mayor Trice then read his annual mes
sage. as follows:
Th-i.tiemen of rhe Council: 1 deem it a
duty I owe to you, as well as to the p. o
ple of Macon, to make report of the ofrl
elal transact le.ns of the government dor 'lire
year 1897, and in view of the good condi
tions in which the new year finds us, this
duty Is to me a great pleasure.
The year Just past will mark an impor
tant era in the history of the city. The
good results of keeping abreast of the
times in providing publi c improvements
b< gan to manifest thcirsilvcs. and the peo
ple have sc. n in the decreastd death r.i.'e
the realization of the benefits promis-a
when I first advoent. d and inau .'trail<:
a sy.-ti m of sanitary sewi rs. They hav<
also s< < n the bi tinning of another gra it
and important public work H at ha< b cn
my hobby for yiars, and that the paving
of our streets. It is my earnest wise, that
this work will be continued :hi on-1:0,11 tl’>
present year. and. with the a- istanee e-f
the members of council. <f w hich I :>m er
tain, and of the people, until every -t ci t
in the city is permanently pave I a-.1 o?-
erwise improved. I do not apprt'nn.i v ry
much lifileulty in securing th? 'co-cpera
tion of the ptople for the reason th.e: 1 te 1
satisiflid that every good and public
citizen is as anxious to have all the streets
paved as 1 am, and will not regret the
cost.
It is exceedingly gratifying to note the
fact that our people are so happily and
so generally united on this improvement.
It is still more gratifying to note that this
harmony seems to cover even a broader
field, for never was there a time when the
people and the government were so close
together on questions of improvement and
progress of the city. This being true, the
city is given a fresh and healthy impetus
to go forward and become, as it should be,
euch a model city that it will attract
good citizens from abroad. With the pros
pect of a great influx in this direction and
the probability of the annexation of the
suburbs, the future of Macon is brighter
today than ever in her history.
In making .this report I have refrained
from making many recommendations, but
from t'jme ti time during the year, in the
shape of special recommendations. 1 will
bring np some matters pf interest and ben
efit to the city, all of them being right in
line with the forward march of Macon,
nnd redounding to her good.
The city is to be congratulated on hav
ing a staff of excellent officers in charge
of the various departments. Those in
charge of the important offices are. with
out exception, men of experience, are ca
pable and obliging to the public, and to
them is largely due the smothness and
efficiency with which the affairs of the
government are eared for and administer
ed. To all of them I am individually in
debted for courtesies and which 1 wish
here to publy acknowledge. It is a pleas
ure for me to bear testimony to their
faithfulness to duty and their watchfulness
of the city’s Interests.
The city is also to be congratulated on
having in office a board of aldermen, rep
resenting almost every class, whose only
alm is to give Macon a good, economical
and wise government, looking closely and
carefully after every interest, and to lead
any sound movement tending to promote
and stimulate Macon’s growth.
FINANCES.
The report of the treasurer shows that
during the year 1897 the expenditures were
kept within the income, and that too with
a large amount of improvement requiring
considerable preparatory work which needs
•to be done before encroaching upon the
appropriations proper, and the enlarge
ment and better equipment of several of ,
the departments. As the appropriations |
were carefully considered and the expend!- I
tures legitimate, this fact must be grati- i
tying to the tax payers. For the current |
year your finance committee has exercised
the same care in making the apprepria- I
tions. providing only for the necessary ex- I
penditures of the government. I have i
every reason to believe 'that the end of the
year will show equally as good a state- |
ment.
The bonds sold by the city during the '
year were taken by the bond comm:ss:on
at par. This made a happy disposition of ,
them as it not only provided that the
commission had the money with which to
purchase them, but that the bonds were
kept in the family. I doubt if any city in |
the South can make so excellent a showing ,
as Macon can financially.
I am glad, and I believe every good cit
izen will agree with me, that this year 'the
city was in a position to increase the ap
propriation to the Macon Hospital, and
also to make an appropriation for the
maintenance of the military. By making
an appropriation sufficient to relieve them
of difficulty heretofore labored under, the
mayor arid council have shown their ap
preciation of the military of the city,
which ranks in personnel, and all that goes
to make up a valuable and an efficient or
ganization, with the best in the South.
The mayor and council esteem it a pleas
ure to lie aide to lend them a helping hand.
PUBLIC IM i’KOVEM ENTS.
The report of the Board of Public
Works will give an idea of the vast
amount of work accomplished under this
head during the past year, much of it be
ing done’in the* way of permanent im
provements in addition to the general
care of the streets, care of public prop
erty, etc. The board will be kept busy
the current year, and at the close will be
able, I hope, to show a still greater
amount of work done.
During the past year a new and hand
some bridge has been thrown across the
| river at Spring street, for which the city
contributed its share. As a large tract of
land on the cast side of the river lias been
recently incorporated, this bridge can be
now ela scd as one of the city’s public in
stitutions.
From information in hand, I am con
vinced that the old bride across the river
at Fifth street has lived out its years of
usefulness and by all means should be re
placed with a new and more modern struc
ture. This improvement has been down on
my calendar for a long time, but not until
now has the way been clear to accomplish
my object without incurring a debt. I be
lieve a new bridge can now be built to
take the place of the old one before the
end of the y« ar out of the savings in
other departments, and I promise my ef
forts in that direction.
Under the head of public improvements
I wish to remind the property owners that
while the mayor and council are paving
and putting the streets in the best possi
ble condition, they, too, have a duty to
perform in putting and keeping their
..pit-walks in good shape that the improve
ments might be in keeping with each
other. Every property owner should feel
a pride in the sidev,alk iu front of iris
property, and while clamoring for the
mayor and council to improve the road
ways see to it that their sidewalks are
il.o put and kept in good shape.
The question of encouraging manufac
tures is again revived, and as it is a ques
tion meaning much for Macon, I recom
mi nd that a map be prepared to show the
reserve available for manufacturing sites.
Macon, fortunately, has a number of such
sites, now but little more than waste
places, requiring only the proper loca
tion and boundaries to be offered and util
ized to great advantage and for the bene
fit of the whole city. This map Is of im
portance and should be made so that when
we desire to offer inducements to manu
facturers we will be in [icisltion to do so.
To encourage the coming and multiply
ing of manufactures for the city has been
my desire for a long time, and my first
■tep in Meat direction was taken two years
ago when I advocated and succeeded in
ix'mining manufactures anti industries
from a license tax. Besides the benefits
arising in a commercial way, the peopling
of the city with intelligent labor and sk.ill
• d mechanics cannot be otherwise than
of great advantage and help to M icon.
Every possible inducement that can be
made should be offered to fill the city with
manufactures.
THE CITY'S HEALTH. '
The work of the Board of Health- for
the past year has been most excellent, as
their figures will show. Not only has there
been a marked decrease of death over the
previous year, but 1898 finds the city
leaner than ever before. There was a
■ illing co-operation on the part of the
citizens in cleaning up their premises, and
'he sixteen carts hauled on an average of
:>-l leads of trash and garbage per day to
i ac crematory, or nearly 30.000 loads for
the year.
'1 o this good work of the scavenger force
and the vigilance of the sanitary inspec
tors who cover every foot of the city, and
the co-operation of the citizens, and the
inestimable benefits derived from a per
fect system of sanitary sewer* ■ resent
good health of the city is due. There is
another important factor in this respect—
the rigid rules of the board respecting
sanitary plumbing and their unvarying
enforcement by the inspector of plumbing.
Under the present administration of af
fairs of this branch of the health depart
ment by your present inspector, it may
never be feared that any imperfect plum
ing will be allowed to pass and to imper
fect plumbing can be traced the source of
much disease.
The action of the board during the past
year in respect to keeping the gates of
the city wide open at a time when those
dread diseases yellow fever and smallpox
were raging in other cities, relying wholly
on the situation and cleanliness of the city
and the ability of the board to control
those diseases should they find lodgment,
and thus offering to the stricken people
a safe haven, is one to be commended.
Upon their thorough system and excel
lent work I desire to compliment them.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The report of the chief shows an admir
able record for this department. It will
be seen that the amount of property in
volved in the fires of 1897 was $845,000,
and the actual Joss amounted to onlv
$54,000.
During the year it was found necessary
to purchase a lot of hose, and now, being
supplied in that direction, there will be
no extra expense beyond the usual appro
priation for maintaining the department
the current year. As an evidence of my
belief and confidence in the material mak
ing up the department, I re-appoint every
man without a single exception.
The report of the chief will be found to
contain interesting facts, and I invite a
perusal of it. The equipment is first-class,
and Macon may well boast of her Are de
partment.
CHARITIES.
from time to time. To properly attend them
medicine by the city and treated by the
city physicians numbers from 1.500 to
2.000 people. This number is not always
sick, but require medicine and attention
from time to time. To properly attend
it has been thought advisable to have two
physicians, dividing the city into two <jl§-
tricts. In this way, I am of the opinion
that the poor of the eity ean receive more
and better attention than before.
The hospital is an institution of which
I. in common with every citizen, feel ex
i ceediiiglj proud. It* record for the short
i time it has been instituted is an excel
lent one. and it proves, too. how much
. good it ean accomplish. It is my wish
I that the city government place it on the
list of its permanent beneficiaries, and as
j the city grows and its revenues increase
i the appropriation for this purpose be
| measured in proportion.
ELECTRICAL,
This department is rapidly growing to
, be one of the most important of the gov
ernment. The property, and often ’he
lives of our citizens are dependent upon its
efficiency, in its fire alarm and police
patrol systems. I am glad to say that u
i is kept to the highest standard by our
electrician and the committee on elec
tricity. and is pointed to by the best elec
tricians as the best kept and best equipped
system in the South. It is a pleasure to
compliment this department on its splen
did condition.
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
The report of the chief of police hereto
appended will show that this arm of the
government has been efficient during the
past year. The force is in excellent trim
and capable of much good work. The city
is as well policed as any city in the coun
try. as & comparison of work done in other
cities Will prove. There are times when
the number of min should be increased,
but it has been my aim to make up in
material and efficiency what we lack in
numbers.
IN CONCLUSION.
I request the study, and perusal of the
various reports hereto attached. Much in
formation may be gleaned from them, and
they will also give the citizen a better in
sight into the workings of the government
as well as acquaint him with the vast
amount of work performed in all of the
departments. Respectfully submitted,
S. B. PRICE.
COMMON SENSE CURE.
PYRAMID (PILE CUKE CURES FILES
PERMANENTLY BY CURING
THE CAUSE.
Remarkable Remedy Which is Bringing
Comfort to Thousands of Sufferers.
Probably half the people who see this
article suffer from piles. It is one of the
commonest diseases and one of the most
obstinate. People have it for- years and
just because it is not immediately fatal
they neglect it. Carelessness causes no
end of suffering. Carelessness about so
simple a thing as piles has often caused
death. Hemorrhages occur during sur
gical treatment, often causing death.
Piles are simple in the beginning and
easily cured. They can be cured even in
the worst stages , without pain or loss of
blood, quickly, surely and completely.
There Is only one remedy that will do it—
Pyramid Pile Cure.
It allays the inflammation immediately,
heals the irritated surface and with con
tinued treatment reduces the swelling and
puts the membranes into good, sound
healthy condition. The cure is thorough
and permanent.
Here is a voluntary and unsolicited tes
timonial we have lately received:
Mrs. M. C. Tlinkly, 601 Mississippi St.,
Indianapolis, Ind., says :Have been a suf
ferer from the pain and annoyance of
Piles for fifteen years, the Pyramid Pile
Cure and Pyramid Pills gave me imme
diate relief and in a short time a complete
cure.
Druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cure or will
get It for you if you ask them to. It is
but 50 cents per package and is put up

DREYFUS’ PRISON LIFE.
Absolute Loneliness Without a Hu in a© to
Speak To.
J ledrn on very good authority that
Dreyfus is now practically unrecognizable,
writes a Paris correspondent to the Lon
don Telegraph. His hair has turned white,
and ho is a complete wreck. He exists,
nnd that is till. The only wonder is that
he still lingers on. Countless persons en
dowed with strong constitution- would
already have succumbed to the system to
which he is Gubjected. Such is the opinion
of those who have watched hi.«< on the
spot, as a letter just received from French
Guiana abundantly testifies. Since he has
been settled at the He du Diable, Dreyfus
has only been rarely visited by the govern
or of the colony and other officials. Elev
en warders are told off to guard him night
and day, a couple at a time, who are re
lieved every two hours. They are strictly
enjoined never to speak to the prisoner
unless there is some imperative reason for
their doing so, and then as briefly ns pos
sible. Thus Dreyfus spends days and
weeks together precluded from converse
with a fellow creature.
Until the month of July ho dwelt in a
hut situated in the lover part of the isl-aml,
but he was then removed to a plateau
higher up. The structure which be now
inhabits is about 30 feet in length and 1G
feet in breadth. It is divided into two
rooms of almost equal size. One, with
but two windows looking out on a sort of
courtyard, is reserved for Dreyfus, egress
from it being through a door in the parti
tion which separates it from the ether
chamber, where the warders are posted.
In front of this hut is a bit of ground
some 40 square yards in area, inclosed by
a very thick palisade six feet in height, so
that the prisoner cannot catch a glimpse
of the surrounding scenery, but has only a
dead wall to gaze upon.
The wretched man tried to convert, the
ground into a little garden, but the soil is
so poor and pebbly that ho had to give up
the idea. When he arrived at the He du
Diable, he used to beguile the time by
working out algebraical problems on a
slate, but after awhile he abandoned the
practice, and he now passes hours together
in reading and writing letters. As for the
provisions with which he is supplied by
tho authorities, they arc reduced to the
simplest expression, fresh meat alternat
ing with bacon, while bread, vegetables,
salt and pepper, the last oven regarded as a
favor, complete the miserable list. Owing,
however, to the money which he is per
mitted to receive from France—£3o a
month, as Is believed—Dreyfus is able to
supplement this meager diet and to pro
vide himself with good wine, cognac, pre
serves and also with cigars, which he
smokes continually. Such is the life or
rather existence Jed by this unhappy man,
and froin which his relatives and friends
are endeavoring with might and main to
free him, while clearing Lis character as
well.

MACON NEWS WEDNESDAY
r.’ar Caro Ccr a Doll.
Not lon* ago President Diaz of Mexico
recclvnl a hit- r from a JiMio girl of Pueb
lo, in which - said: “M; .i-mn lucked up
my <l«dl, and I wtuau’t- naughty. Please
matcher let me i axe it again.” A day
or two later the child got by post from the
genial president n handsome doll, with a
link stating his belief, should she remain
good, her metb. r would never have occa
sion to lock it away. By that time the
girl's parents bad got wind of the message
to Diaz, and they wrote to him, express
ing regret that their willful child had tak
en it into her head to communicate with
him. A note was received in reply from
the president’s secretary assuring the
worthy people that his exalted superior
had quite enjoyed the cxjierience and was
pleased to have the worry of holding office
relieved occasionally by such a quaint epi
sode.
A Century In the Postoffice.
W. R. Beatty, while splitting up a tree
on his farm, near Sciotoville, recently,
found iu the heart a buckskin bag con
taining a letter, discolored by age. The
writing had practically failed away, only a
word here and there being intelligible.
The tree was evidently 150 years old, and
it is thought that the letter had been
placed there 100 years ago when the “Lit
tle Scioto” trail from the Ohio river to
Chillicotlie was used by traders, anti which
passed close to where the old tree stood.
The hole in which the letter had been hid
den had been completely covered by the
new growth of the tree. It was undoubt
edly one of the “postoffices” of the pio
neers.—Portsmouth (O.) Letter in Cincin
nati Commercial Tribune.
The Lobby of the House.
What more particularly attracts the at
tention of the strangi r when visiting the
capitol is the decayed, wornout and un
clean appearance of the lobby of the house
and tho shoddy furniture that is supposed
to decorate it. The walls are begrimed,
the gliding is turning bltick, and the fres
coing, which tit one time was a “thing of
beauty, ’’ now falls far short of being a
“joy forever.” The cheap woodwork of
the furniture., the shoddy red plush that,
covers it, and the badly displayed portraits
of some equally bad statesmen, tho emana
tions of inferior artists, create the impres
sion that the lobby is a weak imitation of
a hotel corridor instead of a lounging
place for (he lawmakers of the nation.—
Washington Times.
The Surprise of All.
Mr. James Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, 111., in speaking of
Dr. King's New Discovery, says that last

and her case grew so serious that physi
cians at Cowden and Pana could do noth
ing for her] It seemed to develop Into
hasty consumption. Having Dr. King’s
New Discovery in store, and selling lots
of it. he took a bottle home, and to the

from the first dose, and half dozen dollar
