GIGANTIC PLANT | ONTHEOCMULGEE Plan Outlined in the News a Few Days Aeo is Confirmed. power 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. CABTOHIA. «c ft«- .rail. XTV z z ‘ .r j '/ trei ? 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.” Ol<l People.

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, CASTOR SA For Infants and Children MACON NEWS WEDNESDAY EVInInQ, FEBRUARY a 1898. NANSEN RICH. He Made a Snug Fortune on His Lecture Tour in This Country. New York, Feb. 2—Arctic Explorer Nan sen, in spite of the fact that he so sud denly terminated his lecturing tour, will not return to his Norwegian home a poor man. His personal receipts amounted to at least $40,000. He received 55 per cent of the receipts of the first fifty lectures, with an evening guarantee of? 500, and got 55 per cent of the seventeen lectures on the second fifty lectures, though the guarantee question on the latter fifty is said to be the point on which Nansen and the Redpath Lyceum Bureau had their difficulty.

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. FIVE SERIAL STORIES.
