. ROSTER OF
. COMPANiES
J he State Law Will be En
forced and the List Must
be Made.
ALL OLD CONFEDERATES
Must be Made Up in a List to be
Furnished to the Ordinary of
Each County in the State.
* The attention of thp public is called by
Ordinary Wiley to a law of Georgia passed
by the legislature on December 19 last,
apears in the acts just published.
' ||''he law provides for the procurement of
L a complete roster by companies of all the
W troops furnished by the slate of Georgia
W luring the late civil war, the roster to be
Vfj corded in the county from which the
troops were raised.
The act reads “that on or before Feb
ruary 1, 1898, the ordinary of each county
in this state shall appoint a committee of
three from the survivors, whether resi
dent of said county or not, to be known
as the ‘roster committee’ of each com
pany raised in said county during the late
•ivil war actually engaged in the Confed
erate service of the said state and of the
militia that were in actual service.”
The laws were received too late by the
ordinary to appoint the committees before
February 1, but. Colonel Wiley will give
the matter his immediate attention. The
committee from each county will be ap
pointed on the recommendation of the
survivors. It wll be the duty of the com
mlttee, on or before August 1, 1898, to
prepare and file with the ordinary a com
plete roster of said company and, on fail
ure to file, the report on the given time,
has the power to rule for contempt. The
roster shall contain a complete list of
every member of the company who went
into actual service during the late war,
arranged in alphabetical order, and oppo
site the name of each a brief statement
must be made of the time of enlistment,
the rank at the time of enlistment, and
the rank obtained thereafter; if trans
ferred to or from another command; when
and to what command; if wounded, when
and where; if discharged, for what cause,
if died in service, the time and cause; if
captured, where and when; if imprisoned,
when and where; and when exchanged.
The roster shall also contain a brief state
ment of the regiment, battalion, or legion
to which the company was attached and
. in what battles engaged.
If the committee refuses to agree with
any objections to the entries to be made
the law provides that an issue shall be
made up and tried by the court of ordi
nary.
The expense of getting up the rosters
is to be borne by each county as court
expense. There were several companies
in the war, which entered from Savannah,
and the rosters as required will be pre
pared as soon as the committees are ap
pointed.
NEARLY UP.
Superior Court Work Closer to a Finish Than
in Thirty Years.
The superior court is nearer up with its
work now than it 'has been for the last
thirty years, at least that is what Colo
nel Bob Nisbet says about it.
The docket is more nearly cleared off
than 1 have known it for a long time, he
said. We have got before us three weeks
of work, and I think that there is less lit
igation in the county than there has been
for the last twelve years.
Tha’t is the opinion of all the lawyers
and the work of all the courts shows that
it is a fact.
The superior court has adjourned in
Crawford county and Solicitor General
Hodgese and Judge Felton have returned.
Judge Felton will hear motions in his court
on Monday, but no jury cases will be
heard until the third Monday in April.
CHESS TOURNAMENT.
Macon Players Will Contest With Atlanta at
Indian Springs.
The chess players of Macon and Atlanta
will meet again in another game of chess
some time soon. This time the game will
be played at Indian Springs, and the game
will be much shorter and more interesting
than the one which was played some time
ago over the telephone.
At a meeting of the Macon Club yester
day Mr. Mumford was again elected pres
ident of the club. All the arrangements
for the tournament will be made later.

FLORAL COMMITTEE
Met Yesterday and Discussed Places for the
Carnival.
The Floral committee of the Macon Car
nival Association held a meeting at the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday after
noon, and discussed plans for the next flo
ral parade, which will take place during
the carnival in 'Macon next October.
Chairman Azel Freeman had many ex
cellent suggestions to offer. It has been
decided to have the parade one of the lead
ing features of the carnival and to this
end the committee will work. It was deci
ded to invite citizens from neighboring
towns to come here and assist in the pa
rade, and as soon as the parade is over
the traps will all drive to the park where
a rose battle will take place.
There will be a queen chosen for the oc
casion, and this will be a great honor to
the young lady chosen. Some members of
the committee will go over the state and
talk to different citizens and in this way
chose the most beautiful young women in
all the Southland.
Subscribers must pay up and not allow
, small balances to run over from week to

to accept no part payment from anyone
after April Ist
FIERCE FIGHT.
A Short War and a Desperate One is Presi
dent’s Idea.
Washington. D. C., March 26.—“ We are
going to have serious trouble with Spain.
It is President McKinley’s set purpose to
stop the war in Cuba, or at least to aid
the starving. Spain means to resist such
intervention, but that will not stop the
United States. I believe an armed clash
inevitable.”
This is the sense and substance of a
statement made to me today bv a con
gressman, who requested me not to use his
name. I may say that the statement has
ail the authority of a report from the
white hcus. The most conservative friends
of the president have today been quietly
communicating to the members of the
house the fears of the chief executive.
They say he fears war is coming. His
apparently tardy action is accounted for
by the fact that he means to have the
country ready to carry on a war that shall
be fierce and hot, and that shall be decis
ive in as brief a space as possible. It Is
now believed the bond scheme has had
less to do with the president’s slowness
than was suspected.
Each day has made the nation stronger.
Yesterday the army bill and the navy bill
were reported by the house committee, and
the. man who rules the nation now knows
that our victory would be swift and cer
that he has the country in such shape that
our victory would be swift and certain in
the event of war with Spain. It is the
accepted views today that the Maine re
port will be less the occasion of immediate
friction with Spain than will be the an
nounci ment of his purpose to relieve the
distress of Spain’s victims, whether the
Madrid government now likes it or not.
No one knows Spain’s intentions with
regard to this attitude of the president as
well as does the president himself. There
is reason to believe he is thoroughly con
vinced that Spain will deny him, and he
has been so notified, but that has not de
u rred him from his determination to pro
ceed.
(MASONS GATHERING.
Rome, Ga., March 26. —On April 4th (Dis
trict Deputy Max Mayerhardt will hold a
conference in this city of the Masonic

CATTLE BUYING IN AMERICUS.
'Americus, March 26.—An agent 'for a
western firm is in Americus with a view
of purchasing 5,000 head of beef cattle for
shipment to Kansas and points west. This
is the largest contract yet placed in South
west Georgia and a week or two will be
required to fill it. Already several car
loads of poor yearlings, cows and steers
have been shipped west from this locality,
where cattle of Chis class is yet abundant.
THE EPIDEMIC SUBSIDES.
Americus, March 26.—The recent small

ment of two cases among negroes on a

only resource left him. if he does not wish
to break down prematurely, is to keep a
watchful eye upon his health, and when he

little on work, and resort to the best of all
known tonics. That tonic is Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery. It promptly
puts a worked out man into condition, be
cause it start- at the right place. It begins
by restoring the lost appetite. It corrects
all disorders of the digestion and makes the
assimilation of the food perfect. It invig
orates the liver. It purifies the blood and
fills it with the life-giving elements of the
food. It is the great blood-maker and flesh
builder. By enriching the blood it nour
ishes and builds up every organ and tissue
in the body. No man ever broke down with
nervous exhaustion or prostration who re
sorted to this great medicine when he felt
himself threatened by ill-health.
An honest dealer will not urge a substi

‘‘just as good,” although avaricious drug
gists will sometimes say so for the sake
of the greater profit to be made upon the
inferior article.
Keep your head up and your bowels open.
The “Golden Medical Discovery” will put
steel in your backbone, and Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Pellets will cure constipation.

500-pound books in coupons of 25

patrons lower prices on their ice than they
have heretofore obtained.

weight and polite attention, and any com
plaint will be promptly invesigated.
