. 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.

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.
