A Very Serious Matter Now
Under Consideration By
the Government.
COJIGHESSMEN ARE OPPOSING
The Proposition Because in Geor
gia It Will Materially Affect
the Business Interests.
Some opposition has developed in con
gress to continuing the*appropriation for
the fast mail service between Boston, New
York, Washington, Atlanta, Montgomery
and New Orleans.
For several years the government has
been making an appropriation for the spe
cial mail facilities through the South. The
chief opposition to continuing these facil-"
ities seems to come from Mr. Loud, of
California, chairman of the House com
mittee on postoffices and reads.
The government pays for hauling all the
mails, of course. On account of the large
territory aud population to be served in
the Southern states it was considered wise
by the postal department to pay a little
more and get faster service between Wash
ington and New Orleans, New York and
Boston wanted to get in close touch with
the South, and they were in. favor of extra
pay for extra services. So it was arranged
to give the railroads between Boston and
New Orleans extra, pay for extra speed.
•The result was that mail which left New
York early one morning was in Atlanta the
following morning and in New Orleans
that night. The railroads said that they
could not afford to run this exjra train at
such high speed unless they were paid
extra for it.
It it were not for this fast schedule, the
mail which now comes into Macon at 8
o’clock in the morning and is distributed
from here all over the South and Middle
Georgia, would not reach here until 4
o'clock in the afternoon and would not be
distributed until 5 o’clock. This would
make it practically a day late in this city
and it would be quite a day reaching Mid
dle and South Georgia than at present.
The greater part of the South’s trade is
with the eastern and northern cities.
Therefore here is special reason for a fast
service.
The fast mail leaves Washington early
in the afternoon with the Boston, New
ork, Philadelphia and Baltimore pouches.
This train has an express schedule to
Charlotte and stops at none but important
points, another train doing he local work.
From Charlotte the fast mail has a night
run to Atlanta and very few stops, so that
it makes a quick run on here.
At Salisbury the mail for western North
Carolina and East Tennessee is taken up
by another fast train which carries it by
way of Asheville to Knoxville and on down
to Chattanooga and across to Memphis,
serving a large territory.
At Charlotte the mail for Columbia,
Augusta and southeast Georgia and Flor
ida is taken up and distributed over a
populous territory.
_ When the train arrives in Atlanta at
5:15 o’clock on the morning after it left
New York trains are waiting to pick up
the mall sacks for Macon, iColumbus,
Americus, Albany and all South Georgia.
The towns along the Western and Atlantic
and along the Central are also served
promptly as are the towns on the South
ern between Atlanta and Chattanooga.
A fast train departs early for Birming
ham and Memphis, serving northern Ala
bama and Mississippi.
As scon as engines can be changed the
fast mall train which has come through
from Washington resumes its journey and
rushes on to Montgomery, Mobile and New
Orleans, serving middle and southern Ala
bama and Mississippi.
At New Orleans close connection is
made for southern Texas points.
This service therefore gives quick de
livery to mail for millions of people in
Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisia
na and Texas. It is a service, too, which
works smoothly and is of vast benefit to
the business interests of all the states
mentioned. If it is discontinued the rail
way officials say that they will have to
change their train schedules in such man
ner that the eastern mail which now comes
early in the morning will not arrive- until
late in the afternoon.. They could not af
ford to run the train as an express and it
would have to do local work. This would
utterly destroy its value to this section as
a mail train and South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, . Tennessee, Mississippi and
southern Alabama and Texas would be
practically a day further removed, from
the north than they are now.
For this reason some of the southern
congressmen are working to have the
special mail facilities continued and their
constituents are watching them with deep
interest.

MACON NEWS WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH g 1898.
ARBITRATION
I AGREEMENT.
That Old Sewer Matter Will
at Last Be Decided by
the Board.
TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT
Drawn Up and the Arbitration Com
mittee Will at Once Go to Work
on the Matter.
At the meeting of the city council held
last night an important question came up
that calls to mind a matter that has been
lying dormant for some time.
When the sewers were completed Mr.
Stephen N. Noble, the contractor, made a
claim for. an additional amount of $70,000
account of delays and damage incurred by
him because <rf the lawsuits and of ether
matters which delayed the work, and
which was not his fault but was a very
considerable expense to him.
This claim was not allowed by council,
and suit--was entered in the United States
court by Mr. Noble. Mr. R. H. Plant was
interested financially in the contract and
in the arrangement that folowed ‘Mr. Plant
took a prominent part. Lt was, however,
finally decided to arbitrate the matter and
for a long time it has remained in statu
quo.
At last night’s meeting the arbitration
agreement as settled upon by both sides,
•was read, and the mayor was authorized to
sign it for the city. • •
The work of the arbitrators will take up
fully a month it is thought, and will in
volve very considerable application on
•their part. If the claim of Mr. Nobles is
allowed, the sewers will have cost the city
very much more than was at first antici
pated.
Eleven aluofmen were present last night
when the mayor called council to order.
The first matter (brought up under the
head of petitions and communications was
a petition from J. T. Calloway, Jr., making
a proposition to council to act as public
weigher. It was referred to the commit
tee on ordi'ance/.
Messrs. Cherry & Jemison asked the en
dorsement of council for their directory of
the city of Macon to be issued next fall.
They asked that council adopt the direc
tory as the official reference book of Ma
con.
The mayor made the statement that the
agreement on the matter of the question
of difference between Mr. Nobles and the
city in the mater of money claimed by Mr.
Nobles as due him for the building of the
sewers and for damages in coneetion with
that building.
The papers of agreement set forth that
the matter having been referred to a
(board of arbitrators the suit pending in
'the United Staes court be dismissed, and
then goes into detail as to the organization
of the board of 'arbitration made up of
memibeos of council and a number of
prominent citizens.
The agreement of arbitration is a very
.lengthy document and goes into the most
minute details of the method to be adop
ted iby the board in the course of its work.
It is signed by R. H. Plant for Stephen N.
Noble, and by S. 8.. Price as mayor of
•Macon, who, on motion of Aiderman Pear
sen, was given authority to sign the agree
ment,
The bills on second reading having been
passed the committee reported adversely
on the petition of Dr. Clark for services
rendered in attending smallpox patients.
The bill was for something over S2OO.
The Macon Gun Club was given permis
sion to use ithe park on the occasion of
their tournament on April.
J. J. Clark & ICO. were given permission
to open a bar room at the old Exchange
building on Cherry street.
Alderman Williams offered a resolution
providing for the printing of an itemized
statement as to the cost of paving each
block and that such itemized statement
be attached to the notice to each property
owner of his share of the paving.
At this point council adjourned until
next Tuesday at 6 o’clock.
LOW RATES TO.ELKS’ CIRCUS

PENSION MONEY,
It Seems That There Will Be Hardly Enough
to Go Around.
It seems that the aprepriation of $690,-
000 by the last legislature for pensions for
crippled and indigent Confederate soldiers
and indigent widows of soldiers is not suf
ficient to satisfy the demands of all who
have a legal claim to share in these ben
efits.
Judging from a letter received yesterday
by Ordinary Wiley from Commissioner of
Pensions Richard Johnson,' there will be
li'btle money left for many of these more
reticent claims. The letter of .the com
missioner gives some Idea of the extent
to which t’he pension business has been
carried in this state. It is as follows:
“In answer to many inquiries as to the
payment of unenrolled claims, the follow
ing statement is made:
“In all probability all widows’ claims
meeting the requirements of the law, will
be paid.
“The only fund available to pay unen
rolled soldiers’ claims, both invalid and
indigent, is such as may be left aftar pay
ing the respective rolls of 1897. ''What
such margin may be cannot be determined
until the rolls are T>aid, and every enroll
ed claim should be in this office not later
than the 15th of March (as was stated in
the circular sent out on December 18th
last,) after that date they will be treated
as dead, though they will be paid if re
ceived before the funds are exhausted.
“It is estimated that 150 new claims can
be put on the invalid roll, of. which 130
were aproved in December last, leaving
twenty other places for which there are
now on the file about 250 applications.
• “It is also estimated that 250 new indi
gent claims can be enrolled. There -will
likely be more than 3,000 of such applica
tions.
“You can, therefore, see how slender the
chances to pay new claims of either class.
“The examination of new claims was not
finished in 1897 until July, and it will
probably take as long this year.”
~FACTORIES ARE PUSHED,
Greater Demand for Guano Than it Was
Thought There Would Be.
Mr. J. N. Watts, representing one of the
largest guano factories in the state, was
in the city yesterday, and during his stay
here said that nearly all of the factories
in the state had about sold out what stock
they had made up for this year’s supply
and that now there was a great demand
for guano and phosphates.
The factories cut down their capacity
when the saw that the price of cotpon
was so low and that the farmers would not
be in a good condition this year to buy
much guano, but it has turned out that
just about as much is being used this year
as was last year, and now the factories
can hardly supply the demaid.

FOB THE CENTRAL
Renewal of the Talk About
the Macon &. Atlanta
* Railroad.
WILL IT BEBUILTAFTERALL?
A Matter in Which Railroad Men All
Through This Section Are Inter
ested—What a Paper Says.
Will the old Macon and Atlantic Rail
road become something of actual use after
all?
The following taken from the Statesboro
Star has probably come from an outside
source, and, at any rate, is Interesting:
“The owners of the old 'Macon and At
lantic Railroad are having the roadbed
through this county cleaned again.
“This virtually means 'that the Central
will have another line from Macon to Sa
vannah, practically a double track, that
will give it the finest service between
those two 'points that can be imagfned. A
gentleman conversant with the facts, who
speaks with authority, said today:
, “ ’ll is now generally understood that
■the Central of Georgia .Railway will begin
very soon the extension of the old Macon
and Atlantic Railroad to a point on the
Central near Savannah. Meldrim is .the
point, it is said, the extension will be
made to, and trains will go into Savan
nah over the Central railroad from that
point. The construction of this extension
will practically absorb all the .traffic be
tween Statesboro and Savannah, and will
about cover the territory contemplated by
the extension of the Cuyler and Wcodburn,
or rather the Savannah and ‘Statesboro
railroad, as it is now 'called. The Cuyler
and Woodtjurn Railroad, about twenlve
miles long, recently passed through li- '
quidation in the United States court, and
’the purchasers, it is said, intended to ex
tend it to Stateboro,’ but as tihe Central
seems to be making full preparation to ex
tend the Macon and Atlantic, it is hardly
probable that both extensions will be
•built.” ’

that something like $40,000 was expended

ELKS WILL HELP
800 MONUMENT
At a Meeting Last Night
[ Twenty-Six Dollars Were
Donated to Fund for
MOKDMEHT TO MIIIT DM
The Amount Was Forwarded to W,
R Hearst; of the New York
Journal, Last Night.
The Macon Lodge No. 230 Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks, is the first
organization of the kind in the "United
States to make a contribution to th'e fund
inaugurated by the New York Journal to
erect a monument to the heroic dead of
the battleship Maine.
At a meetitng of the Elks held last ight
it was unaniomusly agreed by the Macon
Lodge to make a contribution io the fund.
The order of Elks is the only strictly
American organisation in the country.
Nothing but Americans born can be mem
bers, and for this reason the action of the
body last night is an example of the loy
alty of the American people.
The following telegram was forwarded to
W. R. Hearst, of the Journal, last, night
by Secretary Wright:
“New York Journal and 'Advertiser,
Maine Department, New York City—As
Georgians and Americans, we desire to
contribute $26 as our offering co the mem
ory of the heroes of the 'Maine.
Macon Lodge No. 230, B. P. O. E.
Semetime ago, imediately after the
Maine disaster, the New York Journal
started a fund with which to erect a monu
ment to the brave sailors who had lost
their lives from causes which the nation,
has since been trying to find out. The
Journal headed the list with a contribution
of SI,OOO, and this has been added to rap

be a part of it.
IT WILL BE WAR.
Interview With Bacon in Which
He Talks Very Freelv.
Washington, March 9.—(Speaking to a'
corerspondent on the subject of the situa
tion between this country and Spain, Sen
ator Bacon said today:
“It looks now very much as if we will
have war—not because there is anything in
the situation which necessarily requires
war, but because it is to the interest of the
dominant parties both in the United States
and in Spain to have war. In consequence
both in this country and in Spain, the
constant tendency is towards those things
which will produce war and not towards
those which will prevent it,
“The word has gone out that the Repub
lican party will beyond a doubt be de
feated in the fall elections upon the pub
lic questions now before the people, and
leading Republican newspapers are openly
advocating a rupture with Spain as the
only way to save the party. Os course when
the war comes the rupture will not 'be on
the political lines nor upon grounds of
party necessity, but wil be put on grounds
which will necessarily require all parties
to support the war issues. But if it were
not for those political interests the war
would, in my opinion, be avoided. It could
be done if the authorities both in Spain
and the United States vyished to preserve
peace.
There is enough in the Maine incident
and the issues which grow out of it to jus
tify war, but if it were not for this political
party necessity, both here and in Spain,’
there could be away .found to adjust mat
ters'without war and with the preservation
of national honor.
“As it is, there seems to be a determina
tion on each side to so place the other side
as to leave no other 'alternative but war.
“They will be smart enough to develop
the issue that everybody will be obliged to
support the was as a patriotic duty, but
the real cause of the war, if Republican
newspapers are to be credited, will be, all
the same, for party advantage.
“If there should be war i't will be popu
lar. (All wars are poular so long as they
last, nevertheless iit is not to the interest
of the Souh to have war. The people of
the North, if it should be a great war,
might grow rich because they manufacture
arms and munitions of .war, clothing and
other military supplies and make vast food
supplies, all of which would be enhanced
in price.
“On the other hand, the products of the
South would decrease both in demand and
in price. Hence I think the Southern peo
ple ought to be urged to make preparation
for the most liberal food products this
year.
“I seriously deprecate the probability of
war and will be sincerely gratified if it can
be avoided. At the same time it is entire
lj possible that those who are engineering
the mater may so shape and present the
issues that everyone will be required as a
patriotic duty to favor the war, however
much he may regret the necessity.
“If the United States government had
recognized the belligerency of the Cuban
insurgents eighteen months ago, or even
ten months ago, Cuban freedom would
have ben secured without a gun fired by
the United States. The .Maine would not
have been destroyed, the prospective war
would, have been avoided, and more than
a quarter of a million lives would have
been saved in Cuba. More than that num
ber have died of starvation in Cuba during
the past twelve months.’’

THE STRONG SHOE GO’S
In fact, it will purchase today a
great deal more than a Gold Dollar
used to. This not only demonstrates
the PURCHASING POWER OF fl DOLLAR but
our ability to sell more than ever for
a dollar. We can do this indepen=
dently of the increased value of
money. We can do it because we
use the convincing argument of cold
cash in buying our goods direct from
the manufacturers.
We can do it because we buy in
larger quantities ; than any other
Macon house, wholesale or retail.
' I
We often take the whole lot from the
manufacturers and pay him cash
for the same. Consequently we can
often afford to sell for what other
dealers must pay for them and still
have a little profit left us.
We consistently pursue the pol
icy of quick sales and small profits,
and this, together with our ability to
buy for cash and in large lots, ex=
plains our ability to sell cheaper
than others.
Here are a few cases in point:
