STREET DRUMMERS.
Recorder Freeman Delivers Himself Emphat
ically on the Subject.
Recorder Freeman delivered himself
quite freely on the subject of street drum
ming this morning when a case was
brought up before him, and at last this
nuisance will be abolished.
For some time past merchants of the
city have been In the habit of employing
regurar street drummers to stand in front
of their stores and invite customers in. A
spirit of rivalry has been growing for some
time, and if a poor country darky passes
one of the stores and shows the least in
clination of going inside, he is immediate
ly grabbed by a number of these drum
mers and dragged into the store, where he
Is persuaded to spend all that he has, if
possible.
A ease came up before the recorder yes
terday where one of the merchants ac
cused his neighbor of taking customers
away from him. The accused merchant
then charged his accuser and witnesses
with perjury, and this case was heard this
morning. The merchant who brought the
charge of perjury was fined, as were those
* ••*»'* V, r, zl c< wed 11 v> <y fnv* hlna Tii.rlcyn
Freeman said that there was a license of
SSOO for tins kind of business, and unless
it was stopped immediately he would re
quire those who violated it to pay the full
SSOO to the city treasurer.
IN DUE TIME
The Nobles Case Will be Presented to the
Governor.
The attorneys for Mrs. Elizabeth Nobles
say that the case will be presented to th*
governor and pardoning board in due time,
and that the anxiety displayed by some
that the ease will not be carried before
these tribunals Is entirely out of place.
There ere many new phases of the case
which will be presented to the governor
and the board which have not yet been
noted in the courts. Among the strongest
of these is the decision of the United States
supreme court which‘dearly sets out
that 'hero is need of a change of the laws
of Georgia on the insanity question before
Mrs. Nobles' case can be considered in a
light that is calculated to give her all the
latitude the general insanity laws of the
union allow.

BOSTON IDEAL CLUB.
Splendid Entertainment in Store for the Peo
ple of Savannah.
The next! attraction of the Lyceum
course of the library will probably prove
•the most popular of its entertainments.
It is the Boston Ideal Banjo, Mandolin
and Guitar Club, which will appear at the
Guards hall Thursday, March 3. This or
ganization has played in the largest and
most exclusive star courses, with the
greatest possible success, and has been re
engaged three and four- times. It is hard
to convince some people that an organiza
tion of this kind can give a first-class con
cert, but such people draw their conclu
sions from having heard some very infe
rior clubs, or they have never had an op
portunity of hearing this club.
Every member of this club has had a
concert experience of not less than twelve
years, and the same members have played
together several years. The ensemble
playing has been pronounced by competent
critics, time and time again, to be almost
marvelous, while the special acts by dif
ferent members are features which never
fail to captivate the most exacting au
diences, One of the most important fea
tures is the quartet singing, with accom
paniment by banjos and guitars.
The Ideals will be here on Saturday,
March 5. The Ideals are an appropriate
Lenten attraction.

people.
AGENCIES ARE
ABOLISHED.
The Post Office Department
Has Done Away With the
Stamp Offices.
SUB STATIONS TO COME.
Several of Them to be Put Up in the
Suburban Districts and Will
be a Convenience.
The three stamp agencies in Macon hav«
been abolished by the postoflice depart
ment. Postmaster Hertz is in receipt of
notice from the department instructing
him to abolish these agencies, and he has
obeyed the instructions.
The agencies have been held by W. T.
Morgan’s South Macon Drug Store, J. A.
Polhill’s Drug Store, and the College Hill I
Pharmacy. They were established at a cost
of $24 a year each, and consequently the
saving is only $72 for the department.
Postmaster Hertz says, however, that
after July 1 a number of sub-stations will
be established in Macon. These sub-sta
tions will be for the sale of stamps and
money orders, and will also be stations
for the delivery of letters.
The postmaster here has for a long time
been anxious for these sub-stations, and
the department has notified him that they
will be established.
The reason for the cutting off of the
agencies is that economy must be practiced
in every department.
The stamp agents were greatly surprised
to have the agencies taken from them.
The agencies have been at the various
news stands and drug stores, where tb«
public could conveniently purchase stamps
and save the trouble of going or sending
to the postoillee. agencies have proved
a great convenience, and. they will be
greatly missed. The agents received no
tice of the abolition yesterday morning.
Each of the three agents were-sent let
ters telling them that after the first of
next month the agencies would be abol
ished. The letters explained that the
measure was taken to economize as much
as possible, and to meet the deficiency in
the appropriation.
The present trouble is due to the short
appropriation made by the last congress.
That appropriation was on an average
nearly $400,000 less than for the four pre
ceding years. On the beginning of the
present fiscal year, last July Ist, only
$200,000 was available for increases in sal
aries and for additional clerks, which
amount is but 36 per cent., or a little more
than a third of what has heretofore been
allowed for that purpose. For the fiscal
year of 1893-94 the available appropriation
for this purpose was $436,468. For the next
following year it was $804,284.59. The next
year it was $.573,293.59, and last year $406,-
077.8. The average sum available each of
the four years was $556,031.01, as compared
to the small sum of $200,000 for the pres
ent fiscal year, when there is a greater
need of the appropriation than ever before.
WAR WITH SPAIN.
Has nothing to do with our $3.00 special
made American hats.
CLEM PHILLIPS.
THE WAR SPIRIT
Is Moving Along and Macon’s iSoidiers are
Watching Turn of Events.
The war spirit, has moved out into the
open, and the military, even, are snuffing
the battle from afar.
It is noticeable, however, and speaks
well for the Macon military, that very lit
tle loud talking is done.
The Volunteers are watching the situa
tion eagerly, and among themselves dis
cuss the probabilities of war and the pos
sible movement of the state troops.
Col. Wiley, in command of the regiment,
says that he has not received any inti
mation that anything will be demanded
from the state troops, but does not deny
that at any time some orders may be re
ceived.
It may be safely said that in the event
of a demand for the services of the Geor
gia militia, Macon would muster in as
many men as any other city of its size.
The war department has on file at Wash
ington reports from all the railroads in
■the southeast, giving estimates of the
number of men and amount of munitions
of war they could move in a given number
of hours, and upon what notice such move
ments could be made. This information,
covering movements from Atlanta to ports
on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts appears
to have been collected with the idea that
in case of war with Spain, or a movement
of troops tc Cuba.
The railroad men are reticent about the
information given the government, but ad
mit that blanks for this purpose were sent
out from Washington some months ago.
The information was gotten up very care
fully by the transportation men, and their
estimates are held by the war department.
It appears that in case of an emergency
requiring a temporary interruption of or
dinary business the various lines could
move 100,000 men from Atlanta to Bruns
wick. Savannah, Port Royal or Charleston
within twenty-four hours. They could de
liver the same number of men at Tampa,
Punta Gorda and Miami in thirty-six
hours. These estimates allow twelve hours
to get the trains ready after notice. The
Southern railway has over 60 per cent, of
its box ears equipped with air brakes, and
other roads are to some extent equipped
in the same way. There are three lines to
New Orleans that could deliver about 75,-
000 troops in twenty-four hours.
There are three routes to Brunswick and
as many to Savannah, Charleston and Port
Royal. It is thought that trains could be
run to any one of these places in eight to
ten hours, with twenty, cars each, and fifty
soldiers in each ear. The trains could be
run twenty minutes apart, and in that way
c-ould move 3.000 men an hour.
The Central of Georgia has 1,100 cars
equipped with air brakes, and other roads
have smaller proportions. With these
equipments the movement of troops would
be far more easily and safely made than it
was during the civil war, when there was
no such equipment.
Something to Know.
It may be worth something to know that
the very best medicine for restoring the
tired-out nervous system to a healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. The medicine is
purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to
the nerve centers in the stonaach, gently
stimulates the Liver and Kidneys, and aids
these organs in throwing off the impurities
in the blood. Electric Bitters improves
the appetite, aids digestion, and is pro
nounced by those who have tried it as the
very best blood purifier and nerve tonic.
Try it. Sold for 50c. or SI.OO per bottle at

MACON NEWS THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 24 ifcgß.
NO NEW CASES.
The County Commissioners
Enjoined —Mr. Tins
ley’s Card.
No new cases of smallpox were reported
to the Board of Health this morning,
though there are some suspicious cases on
Green street, where it is thought there is
a nest of the disease.
All of the cases in the city with the ex
ception of those at the Knox residence on
Magnolia street have been removed to the
pest house at the park and With this ex
ception there is not now a known case
in the city.
All of the premises from which the pa
tients have been removed have been thor
oughly fumigated and cleaned out and a
guard has been placed thereto to sec that
the instructions of the board are carried
out and that no one goes near the prem
ises until it is safe for people to go there.
At the pest house at the park everything
has been arranged so as to contribute as
much as possible to the comfort of the
patients. So far everything there is well
and none' of the patients seem to be in any
grave danger. *
The county commissioners were enjoined
last night. The order was presented to
Judge Felton on his arrival in the city
and he signed a temporary injunction re
straining the county commissioners from
building at the place where they last se
lected until ahearing of the case can be
had tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock in the
superior court.
The petition for the restraining order is
signed by Messrs. George Dillon, W. S.
Bhooks, T. D. Tinsley, The Log Cabin
Club, W. C. Booth, George Beggs. J. W.
Johnson, O. A. Toole, W. L. Griffin and
Mrs. E. H. Stewart.
The petition alleges that the petitioners
are the owners o fproperty near the site
selected and that their property will be se
riously injured by the placing of, a pest
house at the site selected. The papers
were served on the chairman of the board
of county commissioners this morning.
Work on the county pest hduse had not
been commenced When the papers were
served.
The commissioners will probably wait
until the outcome of the case before they
decide what steps to 'take.
Commissioner Davis says, however, that
he has no idea what they will do. He says
that the site that has been selected is as
far removed from the buildings and from
houses as any they can find in Bibb county
and that any place they might think suit
able would-be open to the same objection
on the part of the property owners.
The following card from Mr. T. D. Tins
ley states ibis position as one of the peti
tioners for injunction.
Mr. Editor: In your interview with Mr.
Davis, county commissioner, published in
yesterday -afternoon’s News, he states in
referring to the injunction against the lo
cation of the proposed pest house near the
'Log Cabin, that while the building would
be in -close proximity to my property that
•the land was wild or uncultivated, and
that there were no building on it. He goes
on further to state that the county eom
■missloners must not be blamed for the fail
ure to erect a pest house if they were con
fronted with an injunction at every turn
they made.
This leaves the inference that the blame
should be laid on my shoulders and those
of my associates -who have joined in the
Injunction.
Now, Mr. Editor, I recognize the fact
■that it is important for the good of this
community that ia pest house be built. I
recognize in addition that if one is built
it must of necessity be located near the
land or lands of one or more people, a-iid
while I would much prefer that it be apt
built at the proposed site, because it is
not a pleasant thiiig to contemplate, either
for myself or for my good neighbors, who
are about me, I am not willing to be ia.n
obstructionist in what is being done for the
good of the many, and as soon as I learn
ed of the fact, I went to Mr. Davis, Oom,
missioner, and told him that I would offer
no objection provided a stockade fence was
placed around the building, and that an
agreement was had that if the pestiferous
thing be burned as soon as the need for it
was over. This seemed to me reasonable
and fair, and my neighbors, whose fami
lies reside in that section, agreed to this
view of the case, and no injunction would
have been asked had the county commis
sioners seen fit to agree to this most rea
sonable proposition.
Mr. 'Davis was mistaken in saying that
my land was not under cultivation. It has
been farmed for two (2) years, and my son
is making preparations to take charge of
it again the present year. More than this,
I think that Mr. Davis, commissioner,
must have known that while there is no
building on the place at present, I have
the lumber and material already hauled
out for the building of a four room cot
tage on the land.
While I want to be reasonable in the
water, I certainly do not propose to sit
tamely down and permit, without protest,
the erection of a permanent pest house in
the neighborhood of my property, which
would be a constant menace of -its value.
The temporary injunction was granted last
evening. 'I am yet ready to dismiss it be
fore a hearing, provided the commission
ers will grant my request, but I would be
untrue to my own interests, and to those
of the good -people who live about me if
I do not do alf I can to prevent this per
manent injury to our property.
Speaking for myself, I cannot under
stand .why it is necessary to iblot the
■county with pest houses. It would seem
the more suitable thing as the city already
has a pest house, to send the few county
patients there and pay the city for the
care of them.
Very respectfully, ‘ T. ,D. Tinsley.
