And Attached to It an Electric Light
Plant is What Capitalists Want
it They Can Sccire the Site.
In confirmation of the brief outline of a I
proposed gigantic electric light plant to be i
established on the Ocmulgee river out- >
lined in The News a few days ago the At
lan la Journal says:
A report la sustained by most excellent
authority to the effect that ihe water of j
the Ocmulgee river wil be used for the |
purpose of generating electric ix>wer to be |
used in Macon and other points,
A newspaper report published recently |
to this < fleet has brought out a confirma
tion, somewhat grudgingly given but suf
fielent to make the story of interest not i
only in Macon but all over this section of i
the stale.
And if the plans under consideration do
not ''K.iug aglee” a gigantic electric plant
will be «stablishcd upon the banks of the
river at Ocmulgee mills some three or
four miles from Flovilla, on the Southern
railway and within easy drive of Indian i
Spring, in Butts county.
Colon* 1 H< nry J. Lamar, of Macon, was
one of the shrewdest and most longsighted
financiers in the South. He owned an iin
mcnit amount of property all over the
stat<-, in addition to being president of the
Exchange bank, head of the house of H.
J. Lamar & Sous, and the largest stock
holder in the 8. 8. 8. company and other
coinerim of like nature. Many yearn ago
he bought the old Nutting homestead, on
the Ocmulgee at this point. Few people,
except loose of thu days of long ago, who
may have bet n guests al this place, know
of it. but it is in fact one of 'he most b<au
tiful in Georgia.
The bard w ood fringes the banks of the
river, which runs in a deep and silent
valley, undisturbed in its primeval beauty
and wealth of magnificent forest growth
by anything except the grinding of the
old stone mill that stands below the bluff
nuii the unciasing music of the water.
The Ocmulgee here spreads over wide,
rocky shallows and forms a number of
little i.-lands covered with trees that make l
the shadows started by the high bluff ail
the lie* per. A natural dam batt here been
formed and 1 is < Miniated that it gives
at on-a 15,0u0 horsepower. A compara
tively small * .’ pi ns* will give an unlimit
ed power at this point, and there Is pos
sibly no place in the state where so much
water can be so steadily and so easily sc
oured ar. h< re.
This Is the i lace purchased by Colonel
Henry J. Lamar, and iiad he been a
younger man there is little doubt that the
plan now under consideration by capital
ists would have ben under way under his
direction, if not completed.
It was his idi a to build a water power
plant here- for the distribution of electric
ity to Atlanta and Mm on, and of course
to supply the smaller towns along the line
of road to these points.
There was nothing visionary in the idea.
It was'flt first based upon a knowledge of
the remt/rtmble value of the great water
power afforded by the natural dam at this
place, and foresight told the man accus
tomed to looking ahead in his plans for
speculation that the time would come
winw electricity would he the power de
manded by aj, progressive towus and that
this water was the cheapest force at
hand.
That time has come. Atlanta, Macon,
and In fact every city, town and even vil
lage in Georgia want electricity and the
cheaper it cun be secured the better for
the slate.
Manufacturing indu triis follow in the
wake of electricity, where it can be se
cured at tile lowest cost; and those cities
which can offer the power at the lowest
price will Im the first to reap the great
advantage of diversified industries.
Atlanta and Macon both are working
hard to this end. Augusta has reaped the
benefit of her water power ami canal and
the mauufy durer of today must have wa
ter power.
This, udded to water transportation,
which Macon now hus and hopes to de
velop in the mar future into something
Os real value not only to the city itself
but to surrounding towns, will insure to
Macon magnificent results and the attain
nien of a desire so much talked of but im
possible. without cheap water, diversified
industries and manufacturing enterprises.
All this was seen by Col, Henry J. La
mar: but except to a few he never spoke
pf the plan. He was not a man of words,
but of action. The Ocmulgee mill site
was not aud ia ?Jo< now offered for sale.
He saw the possibilities of the place and
intended to reap the advantage, for he was
a man of great wealth and his money was
never idle.
Up to the day and almost the hour of
Jits death, this remarkable man was never
a drone. He was always active and alert,
full of wise advice for his friends, of ’con
sideration for every one. but with it all
the careful, calculating far-seeking busi
ness man who lost no legitimate oppor
tunity for money making.
Buch was the owner of the Ocmulgee
mills, where for all these years the power
that would turn all the spindles in the
state and still have tiins’l to spare has
wasted itself in idle play as ii tumbles
in tuneful merriment over the falls when :
the waters are low, or roar and thunders,
a mighty torrent of yellow foam when
the rains have filled the creeks along its
course.
But the same good business sense end |
foresight prompted others to inquire into i
the value of Ocmulgee mills, which was
illustrated and described in Georgia 1
Scenes, a book published in Atlanta some j
months ago. Once seen the place could :
not fail to Interest the representative of
capital that proposes to supply this long
felt want in Georgia. Here is the Niagara
of the state and. while others have scram
bled for purchasers, the owner of this site |
has made no effort to attract the atten
tion of a would-be buyer. It has passed
into the hands of the executors of Colonel
Lamar s estate and will be the property
of one of his sons.
A final settlement of the estate has not
yet been made, but it is understood that
an effort has been made bv certain repre
sentative* of large capital to secure the
option with a view to the development of ;
its owner’s ideas, which, while never com
municated to any one except his most in
timate friends, were in line with the pro- i
gressive spirit and the necessities of the
age.
Only a general plan of the vast under
taking under consideration can be given,
as those who are concerned decline to
talk, while they deny nothing.
The plans, however, interest Atlanta.
Macon. Griffin. Forsyth. Jackson. Flovilla.
McDonough and in fact ‘ everyone living
in the immediate section that could be
reached with any reasonable degree of
ease and cost by the cables from this great
power plant.
The plan is a daring and bold one, but I
with the ample capita! said to be at the ,
command of those who having seen the 1
place are considering water power as ap- i
piled to electricity in Georgia, it is quite
possible of successful achievement.

REPUBLICAN PAPER.
Haa Something to Say About the Pro- 1
posed Appointment of Edwards.
Some of the Republicans of Bibb do not
at all take kindly to the suggestion that .
; Mr. Walter P. Corbet will not be appoint
| cd postmaster at Macon, but that Mr. Har
ry Edwards will secure the place. The
i Macon Appeal, a newspaper published by
> colored men, says in an editorial today
; among other things:
“The Republican executive committee of
Bibb county, the Republican state central
committee of Georgia, the on airman of the
: Republican party of more than a hundred
• counties of Georgia and the business men
| of Macon have indorsed Mr. Corbett for
i the postmastership at Macon, Ga. No one
• who has the sense of a horse could think
j for one minute that the president would
; flatly deny these organizations their choice
i for this pesition. Does anyone really be
i lieve that the preidem, whose high degree
of loyalty and gratitude, this great nation
attests, would strike such a tremendous
I blow at the foundation of the Republican
| party of Georgia? If the wishes of the
Democrats have begotten such beliefs, let
, me admonish you to dispel them. No, the
; men who are anxious to see Mr. Corbett
• appointed ■postmaster at Macon, Ga., are
the men who in every conflict, when Re
publican principles are at stake, are seen
fighting all along the line from Camden
to Dade under the grand old Republican
banner. And when the battles have been
over their honor ever heard, at the calling
of the roll the voice of Walter Corbett
rings out from the Republican ranks:
j 'Here am I, ready, willing and waiting.’
To appoint Mr. Edwards postmaster here
i would be an insult to every Republican in
' Georgia, and an injury added -to insult to
i every colored Republican in the state.”

Macon, Ga.. Feb. 1, 1898. —Editor Even
ing News: As you well know, I have been
confined to my room for a long time and
some malicious person has shot at my
window with a sling shot or a parlor rifle
and broke two glasses out. Last night they
shot it again and also broke a window in
another room that a widow lady lives in
on the same floor. They also shot in a
window on the upper floor, breaking it,
and the lady has several ijttle children,
and she picked up the bal and has it now.
Another lady has a ball that was shot
through her window some time ago.
Will you please cal the attention of the

MACON THEATRE
NOT IN THE TRUST
Manager Horne Has Some
thing to Say About the
Status of Affairs, j
BETTER ATTRACTIONS
May be Looked For Howevei —Klaw
and Elangee and their Relations
to the Theatre Going Public.
Editor Evening News:
in couimeuting on the the theatrical sit
uation at New Orleans, r notice in your
issue of yesterday reference to the Acad
emy oi Music oeing a member of tne “tue
atricai trust.” .to sucn trust does now,
or aas, or is likely to exist. Tne agree
ment between several managers controil
tug the largest tueaters tn me North, iu
connection with nine-tenlns of the stan
j data ait.actions is not a trust, but to xa
i cillitate bookings, to save expenses, botn
i to managers ana to combinations, to avoid
| tne coming together at one time oi too
i many attractions, and in general to im
' prove the general condition of theatrical
I matters. VVnilst the bookings of the Acad-
I emy of Music are made by Messrs. Klaw
<sc Erlanger, of New iora, they do not
control tms taeater, and every manager
in tne South is in control of his own
bookings, and can either accept or retuse
any attraction that may be ottered by
these gentlemen; and they nave also the
fixings of tne terms of sucn attractions as
they do book. Contracts are also made
with booking agencies that control attrac
tions not oooked by Messrs. Klaw & Er
langer.
That there has been yearly a constant
improvement in tne class of attractions
that have come South is undenianiy true,
and just such an arrangement as has
Deen perfected by Messrs. Klaw & Erlan
ger will insure to the coming to the Soutn
fciu circuit ail the latest and best selec
tions, ana the weeding out of the inferior
attractions, and the resuit will be that the
patrons oi tne theater, whenever an at
traction is announced, will know full well
tnat the same is wortny tn every respect,
or men patronage. ’t>eiore Messrs,
uc ta.rtangcr look charge of tne two New
Orleans uieaters, ou watch they have vol
untarily surrenuerod the options to tne
lease, nine-tentu of tne attractions coming
soum were oi an interior order, whereas
now nine-tenths of the attractions play
now miie-tenths of the attractions playing
visiting other sections. Their work inis re
sulted in tne improvement of tne class pi
attractions, better facilities, Dotn for man
agers ami tne companies, ana toe lessen
ing of the expense to both. During the
coming season their plans have oeen so
ptritcied mac tne very ones who are now
opposing mis so-called trust, will be me
muaest in tneir praise of its management.
Ine citizens oi aiacun, during me com
ing season, if they Deslow tne proper pa
tronage Upon sucn attractions as can be
oi ought to Macon, will witness the pro
duction of the New York successes exactly
in tne same manner as given in New York
city. Tne idle talk that these gentlemen
nave not the means to erect the two the
aters at New Orleans |s mere bosh. That
they have the ability and the means to ac
complish this result, to my mind there is
no question, and tne result of their doing
so will be greatly to the benefit of every
theatrical manager in the South. Messrs.
Kiaw & Erlanger are men not only or
means, but controlling large means, are
undoubtedly me master minds of the the
atrical business today, and the fooiiish
right that has been made upon mem by a
few disgruntled newspaper critics will in
the end turn to their advantage, and af
ford them considerable amusement from
tne monKey aptics that these critics are
likely to create, and the fun wjil be en
joyed by at least nine-tenths of the pro
fession.
’lnis combination of managers for mu
tual protection should not be considered a
trust, and two-thtirds of the theaters in
this country are not in their control. What
is sought to accomplish is the bettering of
the condition of the managers and that of
the profession in general, and the protec
tion of the theater patrons, and the result
of their work will give ample evidence of
this fact in a very short while. When this
result is accomplished, in every instance,
theatrical patrons will get full value for
their money at every performance they
attend. If the accomplishment of this ob
ject will result in the benefits outlined,
call it what you may, trust or otherwise,
there certainly can be no objection from
the profession, managers or theater-goers.
Very respectfully, H. Horne.
LEAKY SHIPS.
The North Atlantic Squadron Shows
Weakness.
New York, Feb. 2. —The Times asserts
that the maneuvers of the ships of the
North Atlantic Squadron have thus far
been unsuccessful. The only thing that
has been developed has been the weakness
of the boilers, machinery and aparatus for
working the turrents and the large guns.
Shortly after the fleet left Hampton
Roads the tubes in the boilers of the bat
tle ship Indiana began to leak. The leak
grew so that the vessel could not steam at
more than six knots.
It was also found on the trip that the
turrets of the large ship would not work
satisfactorily. It is expected that when
target practice is begun that most of the
turrets will jam and become unmanagea
ble.
NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS.
One Cause of Sleeplessness that can be
Readily Overcome.
Mr. William Handschu, of 46th St. Cot- i
ton Alley* Pittsburg, Pa. expresses him
self as follows regardiugthe new remedy I
for that common and obstinate disease; i
piles; I take pleasure in stating that I
was so afflicted with piles that for three
months I got no regular sleep; I became
completely prostrated, the doctors did me
no good: my brother told me of the new
remedy for piles, the Pyramid Pile Cure; I
purchased from my druggist three 50c I
boxes and they completely cured me. I
am once more at my work and but for this
excellent medicine I would be on my back.
I take great pleasure in writing this letter
because so many people are suflerers from
this trouble, who. like myself, did not
know where to look for a permanent, re- i
liable safe cure.
Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure
for the past three years has demonstrated
to the medical profession, as well as to
thousands of sufferers from piles, that it
is the safest and most effectual pile cure
ever offered to the public, containing no
opiates or poisons of any kind, painless
and convenient to handle and being sold
by druggists at 50c and $1 per box, is
within the reach of every sufferer.
Very frequently}' two or three boxes have
made a complete cure of chronic cases that
had not yielded to other remedy for years.
There is scarcely a disease more aggra
vating and obstinate to cure than the
various forms of piles and it is the com
mon practice to use ointments, salves and
similar preparations containing dangerous
I poisons to remove the trouble. The Pyra
mid has superceded all of these ineffectual
remedies and no one suffering with any
rectal trouble will Ifiake any mistake in
giving the Pyramid a trial.
If in doubt as to the nature of your
trouble send to he Pyramid Drug Co.,
Marshall. Mich., for a valuable little book
• on pile*, describing all forms of the dis-
■ ease and describing the methods of cure.
Any druggist ean furnish the Pyramid
I Pile Cure, as it is the best known and
i most popular remedy for piles, and if you
■ ask him he can doubtless refer you to
I many people in your vicinity who have
been cured completely hy it,

JOE CAMP
And His Lecture at Mercer on Next Friday
Night.
Not In years, perhaps, has any- lecture
event caused so much talk and wide
spread interest on the campus and cut in
town, as the lecture of Colonel Joe Camp
at Mercer next Friday night. He is said
to be such a remarkable orator that he
creates a sensation everywhere he speaks.
The Eatonton (Ga.) Messenger, speaking
of Mr. Camp’s enthusiastic reception there
said:
A PHENOMENAL ORATOR.
“We have heard Henry Grady, and some
of us are familiar with John Temple
Graves as an orator; but if Joe Camp did
not Show himself the superior, he demon
strated that he was the equal of either.
He must be classed wherever he is heard,
among the few phenomenal orators of
Georgia.”
The IMercer literary societies at the
phenomenal orator to Macon, and the stu
dents of the college are just happy enough
also over the close of intermediate exam
inations, and the prospect of having all
the Wesleyan girls present Friday night,
to make them talk it everywhere they go.
It promises to be the most largely atten
ded event that Mercer has had in a long
time. “Get ready to go,” Is the saluta
tion of every Mercer boy.
Mr. Camp's subject, “Truth and Shams,”
is a vital one, opening the way for elo
quence and wit as well.
The lecturer was a classmate of •Colonel
Hugh Washington, of this city, at the
State University, and was in the legisla
ture with Hon. (Bob Hodges and Hon. John
T. Boifeuillet. Many lawyers anti lovers
of the orator’s gifts will hear him at Mer
cer Friday night.
Consumption Positively Cured.
Mr. It B. Greeve, merchant, of Chil
howie, Va., certifies that he had consump
tion, was given up to die, sought all medi
cal treatment that money couid 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
H. J. Lamar & Sons’ drug store.
