4 ORGANIZATION HAS RUN DOWN Debs' Social Democracy Has Not Found Much Fa vor Here. DISBANDED AND GONE, Cannot be Found A Good Story Locked Up in the Bosom of a Visitor Who Passed Through. Debs' Social Democracy lx at a very low i <bb in Macon. The organization which ‘ existed prior to th< coining of the labor icailer some months ago, and which v. as at that time fairly well up in membership has gone to pieces and no one can tell where is has gone or who are its mem bers. Whin Debs spoke in Macon interest in the organization was aroused but no offer was made by th- local officers to encour age it and no meeting has been held since that time. lint while lo' .lly the organization has gone up the flume there is something in the wind in connection with Debs and his colony that will be of interest to the whole peojde of the .'■tale. Just what it is those wlio know something about it will not say but the evidence is abundant that some thing is going on and that within a few’ weeks Interesting developments may corne to the surface. A News reporter gained some informa tion yesterday but came in such away that it is impossible to state more than that something may be expected to de velop. The recent visit of a person prominently connected with the undertaking and who comes almost direct from Debs himself, and the fact that his visit and his mission were kept a most profound secret and in fact were k,nown only to a few and those few high In the counsels not only of the Debs movement, but of other influential movements in the state, would indicate that he had something to impart if he would only do so. His name is C. F. Willard and he hails from Chicago. He is prominent as a the osophist now but has been identified with undertakings that indicate his ability and the confidence In which he is held by the people who do not as a rule make mis takes in their selection of individuals to carry out big projects. Mr. Willard was seen by The News re potter but positively refused to talk. He denied that he could say anything of in terest if he would, but it was evident that he was simply trying to get out without any notoriety attaching to his visit. He left Macon yesterday evening for Atlanta and from there it is said that he will return direct to Chicago. He is charged with a somewhat delicate mission and what his report will be can not be foretold, but the indications are that it will be of importance in a political and a g< neral way in this state. THE SPRING DEBATE Between Mercer and Athens Will be a Great Event. •Mr. John Roach Stratton, who is look ing after Mercer’s Interests in the debate with Athens in Atlanta in May, says that nil arrangements for the debate has been made.

Down to the Last Dollar in the Treasury They Are Struggling and Facing Doubtful Future. Mr. A. H. Pease, of the Christian Com monwealth of Georgia, one of the most uMeresting colonies in this country, is still in the city. He leaves tomorrow for South : Carolina. Mr. Pease writes the foilwing card to • The News. It will be of interest to all the readers of the paper and is deserving of much more than passing notice. There is no disguising the fact that this little handful of people in Soutnwest Geor gia are threatened with calamity. They nave come to this state to work out what they earnestly and honestly believe is the correct course of life. Their whole capital poured into a common purse is invested in the lands which tney have bought and in the necessary improvements. They have not been long enough upon the ground to reap tile full benefit of a crop, and while their representative here does not say so in so many words, it is a fact that the commonwealth treasury has been drained, they are down to their last few dollars and between then and the time when any crop could mature and relief be looked for the struggle must be terrible. One cannot but expect the self-sacrifice and the unselfishness of the undertaking represented in this colony and even those who honest and openly differ with the col onists as to the course of life they have adopted cannot shut their eyes to the fact that help is needed and needed badly. Mr. Pease writes: “The Christian Commonwealth of Mus cogee county, Georgia is a society of men and women who are divinely alive to the great needs of the world of downtrodden and oppressed humanity. “We see that the mad rush for place and power, for gold and the things of this life, is causing the very existence of the manhood and womanhood that God has placed in us all out of those who are weak, or who will not stoop to the greed that makes the successful money getter. “Because of this; because the world’s sorrow is our sorrow, have w’e set our faces as a rock to know no business but friendship, no law but love. “Love that shall suffer all, fear all, for the Master’s sake who has taught us that “even as ye have done it unto the host of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me” for this cause have we given up our lives and all we possessed to lift up the fallen, to inspire again the great hope of salvation right here and now, that shall extend to eternity. “We need help in this —tools and ma chinery to start with, food, clothes, in fact everything that people need to start such a work, but over all else greater than any need, is the need of men and women who shall not waver through trial, who shall keep this faith in latent brother life within each and all. “We came together from all states of the union in December, 1896. We have 931 acres of land, have set out about 20,000 fruit trees, 5,000 grape vines, built a saw mill, school house, printing office and sev eral dwellings. The “Social Gospel,” printed on the ground, sets forth our prin ciples and work. It is edited by the most able men of the land. The subscription price is 50 cents. Any correspondence and help of nay kind should be addressed to Rev. Ralph Albertson, Commonwealth, G a - A. H. Pease.” SLAVISH Is the Devotion of Wealth to Peace, Says a Financial Writer. New York, March 23.—“ Matthew Mar shall,” financial writer of the Sun, says: “How injuriously long continued peace and material .prosperity affect national character is seen in the way in which our men of wealth treat international con troversies. Being accustomed to enjoy the comforts which their wealth procures for them they have the same dislike of being disturbed in their routine that the slug gard has of being pulled out of his dowmy bed when he wishes to sleep. All they ask for is to be allowed to go on and accu mulate more wealth and invent new methods of investing it. “The idea that the nation has duties to other nations and to people outside out own territory is repulsive to them. They are, mentally, like jelly fishes, all fat and muscles. The Venezuela proclamation sent a chill of horror through them and inter vention in ‘behalf of Cuba they look upon as madness. “No slavish devotion to peace at any price can prevent the miseries of plagues, famines, conflagration, shipwrecks and commercial depressions, which bring no compensation with them; whereas the ca lamity of war secures, not success in a desirable purpose, at least the conscious ness of a duty performed.” HODGKINS GETS DAMAGE. Supreme Court Affirmed the Decision of the Lower Court. The supreme court yesterday affirmed the decision of the lower court in the case of Henry Hodgkins vs. the Central rail way, in awarding the plaintiff damages for being struck by the gatekeeper of the road at the Union depot some time ago. Hodgkins went to the train to meet a friend, and the gatekeeper refused to let him pass. - Hodgkins insisted, whereupon the gatekeeper, whose name was Simmons, struck him with his stick, and severely injured him. Hodgkins, through his attorney, Mr. Marion Harris, entered suit against the road and was awarded S7OO damages The road appealed the case to the supreme court, and yesterday the decision of the lower court was affirmed. STATEMENT DENIED That Salisbury Has Tendered or Will Tender His Resignation. London, March 24. —The foreign office denies the statement made by the Chron icle that a cabinet council for Monday has been called to consider an intimation from the Marquis of Salisbury of his desire, acting under medical advice, to resign the premiership and the foreign secretaryship. Marquis, who is much stronger, starts for Rivier. on Saturday. FLOOD SITUATION. Dayton, 0., March 24.—The fi«C 4 situa tion here is distressing.

MACON NEWS THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 34 1808. What is Going On in Society. The irreverence of the American youth j is clearly shown in this speech of a little boy in the second class at the public school; the teacher had carefully explained to the children the great possessions of the British Empire, and when the superinten ient of the schools called, the teacher ask ed one of the boys, “Harry, tell us about i Queen Victoria!” Harry thought for a moment, and then said, “Oh! I know. She’s that fat old lady that owns a heap ot land!” Mr. and Mrs. Davis will entertain at their home near McCall’s mill Friday evening, in honor of the members of the i Outing Club. • • • Mrs. Hamilton Yancy left today for At- ; lama, where she will be the guest of Mrs. Sanders Holmes for a few days. * • • Miss Turner, who has been giving free embroidery lessons at the Woman’s Ex change this week, leaves tomorrow for her home in Atlanta. • • • ■Mr. and Mrs. James Jackson Cobb and •Master John B. Cobb, are speding a few days at Indian Spring. Miss Mary Cobb is visiting Atlanta. The New York Latin Quarter. Eastward from quaint old Greenwich lies Washington square, whose vicinage, together with a devious and doubtfully defined district bisected by Broadway and reaching irregularly eastward and northward as far as Stuyvesant square, has sometimes been styled tho “Latin quarter’’of New York. Within this re gion a few of the pioneer American au thors, many of those who belonged to what John Burroughs calls our “second crop,’’ and a still larger number cf au thors who “have not yet the advantage of being dead,” have or have had home or haunt. Washington square has itself given title to a tale by Henry James of New York life. At No. 21 of the adjacent Washington place that subtly realistic novelist was born, and his father, “the seer, ” wrote some cf his metaphysical treatises. We may be sure that the school kept by “a broad bosomed, broad based old lady with a ferrule, ” of which young James bad knowledge, was not far distant, and if w e sit of a summer even ing with Howells’ “Marches’’ among the old trees of the square we see just north cf it the “wide fronted house with a big balcony before its drawing room windows” and with steps and trimmings of white marble in which dwelt the Dr. Sloper of James’ tale with his dull daughter and her plot ting aunt. Another marble and brick dwelling of the same row is that from which Kitty, the heroine of one of Brunner’s merry “Ballads of the Town, ” disappeared to go “summering” in a studio building on the other side of the square. Hereabout N. P. Willis suffered a flagellation from Edwin For rest, provoked by the poet’s conduct and criticisms in relation to the latter’s di vorce ligitation.—Lippincott’s. The Origin of “Tommy Atkins.” The name of Tommy Atkins, which is a sobriquet of the British private sol dier in all parts of the world, had an official origin and was originally used in the instructions to noncommissioned officers for purposes of illustration as John Thomas is often used on election forms. Sample blank returns were furnished to show sergeants and corporals and re cruiting officers how genuine 0110 s should be made out, and Tommy At kins, private, Company B, was the fic titious name always used. Model indi vidual reports were also included in the regulations, -signed “Thomas At kins, private, Company B, ” or “Thomas Atkins, corporal, Company C,” or “Thomas Atkins, X, his mark. ” Hence when a recruit arrived at a garrison the soldiers usually addressed him as Thomas Atkins until they found out his real name. Drunken soldiers re ported themselves as Thomas Atkins when they were taken to a police sta tion until the public took it up, and Tommy Atkins became an affectionate synonym for the gallant warriors of her majesty’s land forces.—London Globe. A Queer Russian District. There is in Russia a district which is wholly administered and during most of the time exclusively- inhabited by women. It is the province of Smolensk and comprises a district of about 15 square miles, from w hich all the able bodied males emigrate in the spring and proceed to neighboring towns and dis tricts in search of work, remaining away about nine months of the year. In their absence the women cultivate the fields and manage local affairs general ly under tho presidency of a woman mayor. Before nightfall the women as semble in a sort of clubhouse and play cards till 1 or 2 in the morning. Virtue there is compatible with unlimited cakes and ale, and though the hours are late and so much time is given to amusement the commune is prosperous, disorder is unknown and it is ono cf the best conducted portions of the empire. The czarina rakes an interest in it and is proud of it. —New York Tribune. The Vow of a Boy Nemesis. Bring to me my large revolver and my keen Damascus blade and the rub ber boots I’m used to when in gore I freely wade. Hither bring my trusty sandbag, bring the snickersnee, I say, for my day has come for murder, and I’m going forth to slay. I shall go forth to the slaughter like a bridegroom to his joys, and I ll fill the nearest grave yard with a string of gifted boys. 1 shall brain the boy attorney with a spasm of delight, and the boy who preaches Sundays he shall fall before my might. Ou the trail of boy physi cians gayly, gladly shall I camp. Let the boy pianists tremble when they hear my roaring tramp. When I strike the boyish statesman, he must say his prayer and die. When the boy reporter meets me, mark ye how the fur shall fly, for I’m weary and disgusted and my mind has lost its poise; I have read such beastly twaddle treating of the gifted boys.—Atchison Globe. Hix Explanation. Gentleman —Well, Pat, I sse you have a small garden. Pat—Yes, sur. “ What are you going to set in it for next season?” “Nothing, sur. I set it with potatoes last; year, and net cue of them came up.” “That’sstrange. Hew do you explain it?” “Well, sur, the man next door to me set his garden full of onions. ” “Well, had that anything to do with yt ;nr potatoes not growing?” • ‘Yes suf. Them onions was that strong that potatoes could, not see to grow for their watering. Strand Magazine. _ He MuxX Have Bern Inspired.

The Callow Youth Has Been Rele gated to the Rear Where He Belongs—Big Business. The thirt that developed this morning ! was the greatest and most universal thirst I that Macon has known for many a day. The effect of the long drought concen trated itself. Man, woman and child have suffered from thirst today, and the strange part of it all is that relief could only be found at one place. And what wonder! When suffering from the tortures of thirst —when the throat is dry and parched, and when the heart longs for something cool —what more de lightful than a lemonade or an orange phosphate, what more glorius than a deep, deep draught of one of the myriad of cool ing concoctions that are known only to the modern mixologist who presides behind the bemirrowed soda fountain? But when the <white-clad youth who flings the fizzing glass across the counter and sweeps away your nickel with a con tempt born of familiarity with many nick els—when this callow youth is banished, for the nonce is relegated to the rear to mix catnip tea and rhubarb, and in his place the “Queen of Hearts” stands ready to receive an order, what wonder that thirsts are many and thirsts are great. But when she smiles her thanks for the wretched nickel that is tendered in re turn for the sparkling glass of heaven’s nectar, what wonders that men go out upon the highways and offer fortunes for a thirst? The ladies have charge of Lamar’s foun tain and 'Clem Phillip’s store today, and they are doing a tremendous business. Both stores are crowded. The proprie tors have gone a fishing, but the men of 'Macon want more sumer garments, sum mer hats, summer co .ts, summer ties and summer all sorts than they ever wanted before. But the business of the day is at La mar’s. The ladies are kept busy, they are rushed, but with it all they throw in smiles with soda water and pleasant words with ice cream, and the smiles and the words are priceless as compared with the other chocolate gems and pineapple gems and all sorts of gems. Both stores will be kept open until a late hour tonight, and the rush of business will no keep up. The hospital fund will be materially in creased by the generosity of the propri etors. 'H. J. Lamar & Sons give all the receipts and idem Phillips gives 10 per cent. The ladies in charge are: The Mesdames N. M. Block, S. R. Jaques and L. O. Stevens, and the Misses Daisy Clisby, 'Marie Nisbet, S. iSchatzman, Julie Huguenin, Dellie Rogers, Emily 'Carnes, Mary Cobb, Emma Wise, Ida Mangham, Ella May Williams, Seisel Hatcher, Birdie Coleman, May Kennedy, Carle Harris. Recent Astronomical Progress, The discovery of the last ten years which has most occupied the attention of the professional astronomer is that of the va riation of latitudes everywhere on the surface of the earth, the law of which has been worked out by Chandler. The varia tion does not involve any change in the actual distance of points on the surface of our globe froiu each other, but only in the position of the axis of rotation. If an ob server could station himself at the north pole and erect a stick at the precise point around which the earth was at any mo ment rotating, he would find this point to remain nearly in the same position all day or perhaps for a few days. But in the course of weeks he would find it to change its position, and by continuing his ob servations through a period of several years he would find it to move round a central point in a somewhat varying and irregular curve, making a complete revo lution in about 11 months. The greatest distance from the centra] point n ight be 25 to 30 feet, but the radius of the circle in which the pole moves ranges between this distance and almost nothing. An observer in 1883-4, or seven years later, in 1891-2, would have found the distance about 30 feet. But during the following revolution, the pole, while keeping up its rotation, would have ap proached very near the central point, so that during the years 1887-8 and 1894-5 the amount of change was very small. If Chandler’s prediction bo verified, the va riation is now again approaching its lar gest value, and during 1898 will be as large as it ever was. The probable cause of the deviation is found in the annual changes undergone by the motion of the great masses of air on the earth’s surface, combined with the deviation of the earth itself from a perfect sphere.—Professor Newcomb in Forum. A Discredited Drawing;, The Roman correspondent of the Berlin Tageblatt throw’s cold water on the exag gerated reports of the discovery by Profess or Maruccbi of a drawing of the cruci fixion on an ancient wall in the Eternal City. He says that the sketch is so faint that the outlines of the cross as well as of the persons surrounding it can be made out only with the aid of a magnifying glass, and then very imperfectly. To de cipher the scene supposed to be represent ed, to say nothing of the inscription, re quires a strong imagination. tSo far as the persons represented are concerned, it is quite impossible to make out what they are doing. The hammer that Professor Maruccbi thought be saw in the hands of one of the soldiers climbing upon the cross might just as easily be a flag. Beneath this figure is to be read the name “Mistil lus,” or something like it. In the upper left band corner are to be seen the Roman numerals XI, IV and V. A ladder is leaning against both cresses represented, and it is quite possible that the picture may be of a scene aboard ship. Os the supposed figure of Christ the correspond ent could see nothing at all. He could read plainly the name “Piletus. ” Plainly also appears through the confused mass of half obliterated Latin and Greek inscrip tions, though partly injured by dilapida tion of the wall, the name “Crestos” (Christus), behind which a large picture of a hammer plainly appears. The en trance to the room where this wall draw ing is found is under the so called “Bridge of Caligula.” Chinese Minister Puzzled. Mr. Wu was a guest at the last Gridiron club dinner and was at first somewhat puzzled regarding the fun that always goes with a Gridiron dinner. When one of the members stopped the dinner to com plain of the soup and the president de manded that the soup pot be brought in, to see what gave the peculiar taste com plained of, Mr. Wu looked serious and in quired of his neighbor if the trouble could not be adjusted without breaking up the dinner. He saw the hotel proprietor brought in, and then the soup pot, and he expected to see trouble over the dinner be fore it was served. But when the presi dent club fished out a civil service jeforih Wli froff) pho pot as the source of the complaint against the soup, the Chi nese minister saw the humor of the affair and from thaf moment there was no guest who caughf on quicker or enjoyed more the jokes of the Gridiron then did he.— Chicago Inter Ocean. !
