CJBilMt ASSOMTIOII Is Determined That the Money Sub scribed by Macon People Shall be Spent in Macon, Notwithstanding the intensity of the war talk the Macon Carnival Association held a most importan meeting yesterday afte’incoi at the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce. There was a good attendance and all of j those who were present had the under taking very thoroughly at heart. A resolution was passed requesting the finance committee to at once petition the ei.y council for an appropriation of $2,500 as the smallest amount that could be ask- | od f under the circumstances. It will b< pointed out to the numbers of the city | coun 11 that as the occasion will be the i cn lehration of the Macon Diamond Jubilee ' m l that civic pride would demand that ; the appropriation from council be made as j large as the aldermen could possibly give. 1 This petition will be presented at the next ' meeting of the city council. The books will at once be thrown open for subscriptions to the stock of the asso ciation and the shares will be placed at such an amount as to bring them within the reach of everyone. Another important matter that had the attention of the executive committee was i r 'Olution introduced by Mr. Roland Ellis. Under this resolution the money sub scribed to the stock of the association will be spent in Macon. Mr. Ellis in speaking to his resolution said t 'at it was only fair to the merchants and the business men of the city that they should be given to understand fully and unequ.vocally that it was not the inten tion of the executive committee to spend the money of the association among the merchants and business houses of other cities. He said that it would create a bet ter feeling among the merchants and that he '.’.oped the association would make the matter very plain. The resolution brought out some discus s'on, bur only such as would serve to in tensify the rigidity of the rule which the committee laid down. It was finally pa sse ur. an im ous Iy. This action of the committee will find favor among the great mass of the people of'tl'.e 'ity not only among the merchants but among the working element who are employes by the merchants- and other bus iness men. Tne committee on Macon Day and Mystic feature of the carnival reported that they were ready with their report but that they thought it would be wiser to wait until they too knew how much money they could get to expend as this part of it would naturally determine the nature and tne extent of the display to be made. Other matters of detail were discussed in the committee which sat for upwards of two hours and adjourned to meet again at an early date. beware of ointments for ca tarrh THAT CONTAIN MERCURY.

MACON NEWS SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL a 1898. MBS HHIS ■ uni rnojir iTi WILL rHAMt 11 The Last Bill Which He Paid Ont in Connection With the Nobles Case. M FIGHT K STARTED, A Suggestion Made by the News— Cost Mr. Harris From First to Last Thirteen Hundred. Yesterday afternoan Mr. Marion Harris, who has worked so faithfully in the in- ! terest of Mrs. Nobles, performed his last j duty in the case when he had a' confer- . ence with Governer Atkinson over the tel ephone, and received official assurances i that the sentence cf his client had been ’ commuted to life imprisonment. In speaking to a News reporter Mr. Har- j ris said that he had finished with the case i and that he did not see where he could be ' of any more service to the old woman. In all of the various windings of the | case fcr the past three years Mr. Harris ' has oniy been at the jail once to see the I ! old woman, and she herself says that she i I does not know him when she sees him, ! I though she has seen him in the court house I I pleading for her, but says that there were j so many others there that she did not know which one was him. No one but Mr. Harris deserves credit for the management of the case. He planned every move and fought every fight, and the hundreds of dollars that it has ' taken to carry the case through the va- I rious courts of the land were furnished ; by him. Over thirteen hundred dollars ; were spent, out Mr. Harris’ pocket, with ; not the slightst prospect of returns. The case is one of the most famous in ; the history of the country, that of Durant not excepted. It has been a contest be tween the letter of the law and the senti ment of the people, for in the decision of the courts the plea of insanity could not be taken as a cause for commutation of sentence. Mrs. Nobles’ salvation from the gallows is the direct result of an incident that took place at Crump’s park the day before she | was sentenced to hang the first time. The ladies of the state had done all in their power to save the oid woman and had failed. The attorneys had practically given up the ease. Mr. Marion Harris and a representative of The News were discus • sing the matter when The News represent -1 ative casually made the suggestion that an extraordinary effort be made to save the old woman? Though this suggestion was at first made rather in jest, it soon took definite shape, and the fight, which has since proven such a notable one for a I life, was commenced.
