SECONO TRIP TO BRUNSWICK City of Macon Will Leave for Brunswick Tomorrow Morning. MERCHANTS ARE PLEASED W;th the Success of the Trip and Say More Boats Must be Built at Once. The City of Macon will leave for Bruns wick with a large cargo of goods tomorrow morning at daylight. The first trip has been a success beyond i the fondest hopes of the Macon Navigation Company. It wm the first trip that a boat has made to Brunswick and return since the war, and now chose who said a few months ago that navigation between Ma con and the coast was impracticable, say that more boats must be built. Every merchant in the city is giving the new enterprise, which bids fair to be of so much benefit to Macon, all the business that he possibly can. The return trip to Brunswick will be made with the full assurance that it will be a success. At the Landing at the for . of Sixth street this morning the scene is all activity. Deck hands are busy loading and unload ing and a large crowd of interested on lookers stand around to see the work. Captain ’Miller was seen by a News report er and said that he had run on lots of boats, but he had never seen one than ran as smoothly, and obeyed its helm better. “We had no trouble with her at all,” “and it was one of the quickest trips that was &ver made from Macon to Brunswick on the Ocmulgee.” The distance from Macon to Brunswick is 375 miles, and the actual running time of the 'boat was -sixty-three hours and twenty-seven minutes. The boat will leave the landing tomor row morning with about seventy-five tons of merchandise 'for different points down the river, and some of them will be car ried on to Brunswick. President Smith says that the merchants of Macon are showing the right kind of spirit in helping the line of boats, and they all realize that its success means much to Macon. The schedule upon which the boat will be run will be to leave Macon every other week. Mr. Smith says that he is satisfied that this schedule can be easily made. Every 'business man in Macon Is thor oughly alive to the importance of the es tablishment of the -boat line on the Ocmul gee, and Mr. Smith says -that it will not be long before a meeting of the directors will -be called and plans for the establish ment of other .boats made. “Nearly every 'business man I see says that we must build more boats. We now have a chance to get out of the noose the railroads have held over us for so long, and a god line of boats between Macon and the sea coast means the saving of thousands of dollars in freight every year.” The next trip that the boat makes a large party of representative business men o’s the city will go down to Brunswick and return by rail. They all feel assured that the territory that can be developed by the successful operation of boats out of Ma con, will ibe of vast -benefit. Timber lands can now he worked for all they are worth. Catpain Miller -and his crew are today grooming the boat for the second trip. There was no serious accident on the first trip, but there are many little things that will -have to 'be looked after and some few minor changes made. The paddle wheel was slightly damaged, but was repaired before the boat made the return trip. CLi-.STOii.iz’k, glen of DRUMTOCHTir - It Is Really Called Annahar and Is a Lovely Spot. The famous glen of Drumtochty which lan Maclaren introduced to 'the world is called Annahar and is a very lovely spot. Drumtochty is -a maze of golden bloom in the summer and autumn -and the brilliant blossoms make a gorgeous carpet. From the hills about Drumtochty a rivulet flows through Annahar glen and there on the northern slope stands Drumtochty Castle, which is very old. The glen is about two miles long, is well wooded and contains a few cottages for the servants on the castle estate, but in his Action lan Maclaren has added buildings with a poet’s license. FOR CITY COURT. Question is Who Will Succeed Judge Ross on the Bench. The Constitution this morning says: The term of Judge John P. Ross, of the city court will expire at the end of this year, and, although this is some time off, there is already talk -as to whether Judge Ross will be a candidate to succeed him self, and if he stands for reappointment will any one oppose him. The appoint ment is made by the governor and con firmed by the senate. The term of office 14 four years an dthe salary $3,000. The is four years and the salary $3,000. The session pf the legislature it was increased to $3,000. It is generally believed that Judge -Ross will not be adverse to succeeding himself. As to who will be the next governor of Georgia may have some bearing on who will be the next judge of the city court, for, as already stated, the judgeship is a gubernatorial appointment. Judge Ross is a young man, hut he is in the eighth year of his Incumbency of the office. He was first appointed by Governor Northen, having been selected by the -Ma con bar, after a heated contest, as its choice. Toward the end of Judge Ross’s first term, and when the time was near at hand for another appointment, Judge Ross found considerable oppositnion among some of the members of the bar to his re appointment, on the ground that his man ner was too severe and strict. No fault was or could be found with his ability and character, both of which are of the highest order. At a meeting of the bar Mr. L. D. Moore was endorsed for Judge Ross' place. Judge Ross did not contend in the meeting for the bar’s endorsement, but he -present ed his record to Governor Atkinson, and a spirited contest ensued between Mr. Moore and Judge Ross for the office. Governor Atkinson reappointed Judge Ross, and in the face of the fact that Mr. Moore bore the endorsement of a majority of the m ru bers of the bar. But Judge Ross also had the endorsement of a number of lawyers ; and many citizens of all classes. Judge | Ross has made an admirable judicial offi ; cer. He presides with great ability, im partiality, ease and dignity, and is rarely reversed by the supreme court. The clerk of the court is appointed by the judge.

Purpose of Increasing Exports of Southern Points Likely to be Accomplished. RAILROADS INTERESTED. Southern Roads Expect to Profit by Increased Tariff—What Was Done at Convention. • ———— The South and West Grain and Trade Congress which met at Tampa last week was attended by about forty delegates from the Western and Southern states, but there was no representation from Georgia. The subject of discussion which attrac ted most attention at this session of the congress was the increase in the export grain business from the 'West via the Southern ports. It was stated on the floor of the convention by Mr. Smith, manager of the Charleston freight bureau, that as the results of the efforts put forth by the grain and trade congress at Charleston two or three years ago the exports of grain through that city, which amounted to lit tle before that, were greatly increased, and now move in considerable volume. This business has been developed largely by the Nashville, Chattanooga and iSt. Louis Railway, in connection with the Georgia railroad. The Southern railway seems to be taking a lively interest in this movement since it bought the Memphis and Charleston railroad a few months ago, and it is believed that the presence of Mr. Haiden Miller, the assistant general freight agent of the system at the Tampa meeting indicates a purpose on the part of the Southern to make a strong pull for the export grain business, which now goes to the South Atlantic coast largely by the Louisville and Nashville. ~ The president of a leading line in the southeeast recently said of this export business: While there is not much money for the railroads in this business at the rates which have to be made in order to com pete with the lines to the East and to the gulf, it is an important traffic, and will be a great (benefit to this section when it moves through the Southeast in great vol unme. It cannot pass through this state without paying toll to somebody, and that means the disbursement of money. .Fur thermore, the freight it pays to the rail roads will be largely disbursed here. Two thirds to three-fourth of the freight col lected is disbursed in t.ie territory where it is earned. This builds up the territory and in the same proportion builds up the railroads running through it. the ton nage of the roads increases they are ena bled to strengthen their equipment and to compete better with the great trunk lines, which are striving to carry the business another way. When the channels of trade are flooded there is a rich enundation of the hanks.” ,It is believed that the Southern nailway is .preparing to make rates which will compete strongly with the eastbound trunk lines for the export grain business, and this will greatly accelerate the movement which has already set tn.

In the County of Antrim —Ireland’s northermost district—.there stands a com fortable old square-built stone farm house which was the cunabula gentis, or nursing home, of the house of McKinley, and under this venerable roof was born James Mc- Kinley, pioneer of the family of America, and ancestor of the president of the United States. The farm house stands on a slightly rising ground. A hedge of tall thorn trees masks the front until the long boheereen or lane, with a sudden turn, brings the traveler into the trim enclosure, half lawn, half-garden, which surrounds the entrance door. Behind the house rise a brace of spreading elms. An old hearth stone, now set up as a seat bears the in scription, “W. McK., 1765” —the date of the erection of the existing structure. William McKinley (nephew of James McKinley, the American immigrant) in herited the old homestead, and, during the troubulous times of 1798, threw in his lot, as did very many Ulster Protestants with the united Irishmen. He was a close friend of Henry Joy McCracken, the lead er of the Ulster rebels, and during the summer of 1798 a party of yeomanry, commanded, curiously enough, by a Cap tain Hanna, descended upon Dervock farm and captured McKinley and a quantity of rebel arms and ammunition. McKinley was taken to Coleraine, and the country being under martial law, he was tried by drumhead court martial and shot in the market place, together with three others. Ths fro- . flarket Report.
