ENUMERATORS AT WORK.
They Are Pushing the Work of Taking Scho-.
Census.
The enumerators chosen by the Beard c
Wdu-htlon to fake the school census o
Bibb county are pushing the work as rap
Idly as possible, and will complete th
work a little sooner than was at firs
thought.
The Board of Education hopes to gt
enough money next year to make the ad
ditlons of buildings to the regular systet
that are needed. If the census turns ou
what, is expected, the appropriation will b
ionc-third larger than it was this year.
ONE TorFcaSE
Reported Today and Arother Late La
Night,
One ease of smalpox was reported to th
-Board of Health -this morning and one las; 1
night.
The ease this morning was in Tybee an.
the one yesterday on Monroa street. 801 l
of them have been removed to the pes
house.
The Boardof Health seems to he eneour
aged over the situation. With compulsort
vaccination the whole town will now b.
-Immune and the disease must die out.
THE MACK CASE
Came Up for Tria! in the City Court Thi
Morning.
The case against Mr. Sol Mack, the ex
policeman ch irged by E. Kahn with as
•ault and battery, came up in the clt.
court this morning.
The prosecution was conducted by So- ,
licltor General Hodges and the defense tv
W. P. Bracken.
The jury retired at 11:30 and was stil;
out at 2:30. It is thought by many oi
those who heard the argument that a mis
trial may be the result.
It will be remembered that in this cas-
Mack, who was on duty, approached Kahn,
who keeps a green grocery store on First
street, and accused him of having written
a letter to his wife. The argument led to
high words and the words to -blows in
which Mack got the worst of it.
Afterwards Kahn charges that Mrs.
Mack came to his stprp hh.i that she tried
to shoe- him. and would have done so if he
had not grabbed the pistol, *
pn account ok this affair Mack was sus
pended from the police force.
VACCINATION
Becomes Corrtpu ! sory Tomorrow—What the
Mayer Says.
The compulsory vaccination ordinance
becomes effective tomorrow and woe be
tide the man and woman or the child who
cannot show a scar or a vaccination cer
tificate.
Mayor Price says that there shall be no
dodging and that as this thing was brought
about by a popular demand he will see to
it that the populate is vaccinated.
Tomorrow morning bright and early the
pollge and the officials ot the Hoard of
Health will have their instructions as to
how ft} given to them and they
Will get after everyone irrespective of euje
pr color or previous condition,
The offenders or rather those people
wtn> declined to be vaccinated will be in
continently yanked before the recorder
and will be called for or six months
in jail.
There are some few people in the city
who say positively that they wil not be
vaccinated and it would be interesting to
know what the city is gping to do about
It.
But the Board of Health say that they
cannot make fish of one and flesh of an
other and that they will enforce the ordi
nance.
The mayor says that the ordinance goes
and that this town has just got to be vac
cinated and that is all there is to it.
Subscribers must pay up and not allow
small balances to run over from week to
week. The carriers have been in structed
to accept no part payment from anyone
after April Ist.
STATE’S POWER LIMITED.
It Cannot Take the Property of a Citizen
Without Compensation.
The decision of the United States su
preme court in the Nebraska maximum
rate case, delivered last Monday, was one
of great importance. It has long been
a xailed, and the decision was just about
what has been expected.
The principle involved was rhe extent to
which a state can go in reducing railroad
freightr ates. There is no question about
a state's authority to regulate rates. That
was decided a year ago in the Granger
cases. The railroads contended then that
t state had no right or power -to regulate
vhat they should charge. On this cooten
tion, however, they were wrong, so the
supreme court held. It declared that a
legislature can prescribe or fix rates, or it
an delegate the power to a commission or
x> some official.
But when it comes to fixing a rate, a
rate or Its commission must have-regard
or the railroad's owners and not put the
ates so low that the railroads will not be
Able to make any money. The owners of
i railroad are entitled to make a reasona
>le interest on thelri nvestment, says the
upreme court. Otherwise, a commission
might fix a rate which would prevent a
ailroad from making enough to pay its
unning expenses. That would be taking
s property without due compensation,
.nd would be contrary to the eonslituion
f the United States, which guarantees to
verp person protection to life and proper
ty.
In Nebraska the commission made a re
action in rates that amounted -to almost
0 per cent. They were purely local rates,
nd the commission claimed that it had
ne power to make what rates it pleased,
nd that the federal courts had no business
o interfere because interstate traffic was
:ot concerned.
A similar decision has been rendered by
federal judge in California and -by the
'nited States supreme court iu the Reagan
ase from Texas. This Nebraska case will
enceforth affect the orders of commis
ons on local rates. Right now there -is a
robahiiity of a contest being made -by the
wnminslon Ln passenger fares. The -gov
mor i. id the commission have a fight on
gainst some of the roads In their state,
nd the roads are talking about appealing
o the courts for protection.

is own success.

"Judge,” he s'aid, “I do not know what
> do about it. My partner is a Candler
tan and I _ani inclined that way myself,
ou see my partner helped to put out
andler’s eye in the war and he says'l
ave got to vote for him. On the other
and my wife was almost raised beside
ou and she says that I have got to vote
or you. So there you have it.”
A gentleman from 'Brunswick is here
rday and he is kicking himself all over
he state of Georgia. He says that he has
■issed the opportunity of his life.
• “It’s this way,” he said, “About a year
’zo 1 happened to meet Judge Atkinson
•i a bird hunt. I have a magnificent set
r dog and the judge wanted him, but I
id not want to part with the dog under
ny consideration. Then in a jocular
lood the judge said that if I would give
im the dog he would make me private
'cretary when he was elected governor
f Georgia. I didn't give him the dog and
iy chance is gone.
“How old is the dog?” asked a veteran
n politics who happened to be standing
>y and heard the wail of the Brunswick
nan.”
“Oh, he's -a young dog,” was the reply.
“Then don't fret yourself," said the
olitician. “The judge won’t get a cMnce
o -appoint you private secretary for the
•ext. three years anyhow and you will get
II the more hunting out of a good dog.
ou made a good trade by not trading at

But the Brunswick man being a Bruns

ROLAND ROSS
DIED YESTERDAY
——
The Most Prominent Man in
the Hearts of the People
of Jones.
m MI SHO»T ILLNESS
The Regret is Universal, the Sor
row Sincere—the Funeral Will
Take Place This Afternoon.
The death of Judge Roland T. Ross, of
Jones county, which occurred yesterday
afternoon at his home in Clinton is deeply
regretted throughout this section of the
country.
No man was beter known to the great
masses of the people than Judge Ross, and
his untimely taking away is a shock to his
friends.
He was taken sick only on Sunday last,
with pneumonia, but the disease had taken
so firm a hold that his physicians at once
saw that it would be impossible to save
him.
His lungs have been in a weak state for
some time, and it Is said that consump
tion was feiared by the physicians who at
tended him and his family.
Judge W. E. Lester, of Clinton, came in
yesterday evening to make arrangements
for the funeral. He said that the scenes
at Clinton consequent upon the death of
Judge Ross were the highest testimony to
the esteem in which the man was held.
“The, whole county is in mouring,” he
said. “I never saw anything like it. The
sorrow is genuine, too. Had he been a
father to the whole community nothing
could have been more sincere than the
sorrow of the people.”
Here in Macon when the fact of the
death of Judge Ross became known the
expressions of regret were universal.
Judge Ross was fifty-eight years of age.
He had been ordinary of Jones county'for
the last thirty-five years, and no man
wielded a greater influence in the politics
of the county than he did. It might be
said, in fact, the politics of Jones county
centered in him. 'He controlled politics
by honest sincerity and -fair methods. Not
a single thing can be laid at his door of
which he or his friends could be ashamed.
He leaves a wife and nine children—
two sons and a daughter. His oldest son
is about nineteen, his daughter fifteen and
his youngest son ten years of -age. The
sympathy of the whole community goes out
to them in the great loss they have sus
tained.
Judge Ross was a prominent member of
the Masons, and belonged to the Mahel
Lodge of Macon. A delegation from the
lodge went down to oJnes county this
morning to attend his funeral, which
will take place at Clinton this afternoon
at 3 o’clock.
A large'delegation of Ma'con people, in
cluding a number of members of the bar
and prominent Masons, went to Clinton at
9 o’clock on a special train to attend the
funeral, and they will return at 5 o’clock
this evening. ,

MACON NEWS WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 6 1898-
THE BICYCLE TRACK.
Senator Bacon Writei a Letter to the Macon
Club About It.
At the meeting of the Macon Bicycle
club last night a letter from Senator Ba
con was read relative to the gift of the
land across the river for the new race
track which the club proposes to erect.
The club has been waiting to hear from
Senator Bacon before deciding definitely
upon the location of the track.
, The land upon which the club wants to
build the race track is'directly in front of
Senator Bacon's house, and he said in his
letter, that while he did not refuse this
particular piece of land, that he would
rather the club would wait until he re
turned to Macon and could talk with them
about another portion of land that he had
in mind, which the club bad selected.
Senator Bacon said that he would re
turn to Macon in a few days, and would
confer with the club.
ft was decided to wait for his return, 4
and in the meantime to confer with the
street car authorities with reference to
running a line across the Spring street
bridge.
President Taylor, of the Bicycle club,
says that he understands that the Con
solidated is considering the matter of ex
tending their East Macon line over into
North Macon, and in this erent it will be
an easy matter to have Che line run to the
race track grounds.
The expense of building the new track
will be borne by the members of the Ma
con Bicycle club, and the amount will be
returned to them as fast as the club real
izes money from the races which they will
pull off at the new track.
Nearly every town of any importance in
the state has a race track for bicycle rac
ing, and the members of the Macon club
feel 'that they should have one . by all
means.
Some gentlemen from Cochrane were
here a few days ago getting rules and reg
ulations of the L. A. W., and will organ
ize a branch of the league in Cochrane.
They have already commenced work on a
race track, and the citizens of that place
are enthusiastic over the plan.
President Taylor says that if the track
is built this summer he has all kinds of
offers from crack riders to come here for
a meet, and will net a large amount of
money for the club. This matter will be
considered as soon as the new track is as
sured.
AMATEURS
Wrecked a Train This Morn
ing on the Yazoo & Miss
issippi Railroad,
Memphis, .March 9.—'Southbound- train
No. 6, of the Yazoo and Mississippi Val
ley Railroad, was thrown from the track
by train wreckers at 2:30 o’clock this
morning sixty miles from here.
No one was injured but a delay of four
hours was caused.
The work was evidently that of amateurs
and if robbery was their purpose they be
came too frightened to atempt to carry out
their plan after the derailment.
