WHAT THE RIVER
DOES FOR A TOWN
Merchants Now Realize the
Value of the oc
mulgee.
IS SEEN IT MOTILE
A Fleet of Boats Tied Up at the
Wharves at One Time Means
Plenty of Business.
The city oC Macon leaves for the sea this
afternoon with a good cargo.
The committee in charge of the subscrip
tion list for another boat on.the Ocmulgee
is meeting with great encouragement. The
merchants realize the value of the boats to
'.Macon.
In this connection the following from
(Hawkinsville is interesting and valuable
reading:
A sight tihat had probably never been
witnessed by any citizen of Hawkinsville
before, was seen here recently.
There were tied up at the docks here on
the Ocmulgee river four steamboats, the
government snag boat Satilla, the City of
'Macon, the City of Hawkinsville and the
Little William.
Aside from presenting a novel scene it
was significant to the citzens of this ci'ty
frdm a commercial point of view because
it presents the possibilities of navigation
on this sitream.
The carriage capacity of' the three last
named boats is respectfully 113, 328 and
155 tons, or nearly sixty car loads.
These boast can eaah make a trip to
'Brunswick and return once a. week. At
this rate all the freight coming to Hawk
insville from the Eastern markets can be
handled by vyater route, being taken from
the Mallory line at Brunswick. Trans
versely tlie 18,000 bales of cotton marketed
here annually could be conveyed to the
coast without evac being touched by a rail
road and the rate on -cotton from Ithis
place to the coast would foe much less than
at present.
In 1896 the City of Hawkinsville made a
trip to Savannah with cotton and soon af
ter that a reduction of 35 cents per bale
was made by the railroads.
However, this cotton rate was soon sac
rificed in order to secure a rate on goods
from the western markets, viz.: the roads
agreeing to make a certain rate in con
sideration that ithe boats haul no more
cotton. It is stated now that those mostly
interested in the cotton rate are deter
mined to push ithis feature of the river
navigation and will put on other boats
sufficient to handle the entire crop if nec
essary to obtain the rate desired.
As an instaiiee of w'hat this river navi
gation is doing for Hawkinsville may be
cited the instance of ithe shipment of 260
(barrels of cotton seed oil from this place
on the Ui-ty of Macon via Brunswick to
New Aork, at a rate of $1 per barrel, pro-t
ducing a clear saving to the mill’ here of
sll7 on the 260 barrels.
Besides bringing merchandise from the
coast to the different towns along (the
banks of the Ocmulgee and carrying cot
ton to the coast, there are thousands of
'barrels at naval stores manufactured along
the banks of this river wiaieh the boats
have heretofore picked up and delivered
to the railroads that cross the river at
different points. There abounds, also, in
the swamps of this river—especially from
Lvlacon to Hawkinsville—immense quanti
ties of various specimens of valuable
woods, such as cypress, oak, poplar, hick
ory, etc., and below Hawkinsville is added
the choicest quality of long leaf pine, all
of which must be eventually brougiht to
the margots and shipping points by these
boats.
The presence of the Ocmulgee and natu
ral advantages afforded by it to this sec
tion doubtless accounts for the people of
Hawkinsville never having taken any ac
tive interest in having built a raidroad
from here toward South Georgia.
I'lie wholesale merchants of Brunswick
started their drummers out right behind
the City of Maron when she deft Bruns-,
wick on her 'former trip, and the conse
quences was tiliat on her iast trip from
IBrunswick merchants had more goods for
Ocmulgee river landings than the iMacon
merchants are shipping by the boat today.
Os course the Macon merchants are stand
ing by the City of IMacon on groceries
from the -East, but 'they have not yet real
ized the immense amount of the flnest,
trade in Georgia that lies along the Oc
mulgee and ’Altamaha rivers that is now
easily accessible to the City of .Macon. A
drummer from one of Macon’s wholesale
houses sold in one day last week to Qc
mulgee river landings, more goods than he
had sold on the main line of railroad in
six days. Our wholesale merchants will
do well to cultivate this very fine trade
in the Ocmulgee river valley. When the
Macon Navigatiofi Company puts on an
other boat, this territory spoken of can foe
almost as quickly reached as by rail and
at half the expense.
Following is the manifesto of the cargo
carried down by the City of Macon this
morning:
Dunlap Hardware Company shipped to
Fitzgerald—One gear frame, one main
whheel, one grain wheel, one plaitlform,
one blade attached, one divider, one box,

ft BIG RALLY
HELOYESTERDAY
Epworth League Now Ready
for the Coming of Dele
gates Next Thursday.
A FEW MORE HOMES
Are Needed-The Union Rally at
the Tent Was a Great
Success.
Day after tomorrow the delegates to the
state conference of the Epworth League
will begin to arrive, in Macon, and on the
following day the city will be full of dele
gates and. visitors.
Every preparation for the reception of
the visitors has been made and the com
mittees are resting on their oars waiting
for the crowds to come, with the excep
tion of the entertainment committee, they
are trying to get a few more hemes for
the delegates, as they need several more
yet.
All of the lists of delegates were larger
than it was supposed that they would be
and the committee has not been able so
far to secure homes for all of them.’ There
are about thirty delegates that are as yet
unprovided for. and it is earnestly re
quested that those who possibly can take
any more delegates .send in their names
to the chairman of the entertainment
committee at once.
Yesterday afternoon a tremendous
crowd assembled at the tent on High street
to .attend the Union Hally that was held
there. The tent was found to be. amply
large for any crowd that may be assem
bled there, .and no better place could have
been selected than this for the holding of
the conferenee.
Interesting talks were made yesterday
afternoon by Rev, W. W. Pinson, Rev. T.
W. Ellis, Messrs. Joe Gerdine, A. O. Park,
W. B. King -and others, outlining the work
that would be expected for the League of
Macon.
This was the last meeting of the leagues
that will be held before the conference,
and there is nothing further that can be
done.
The first car load of delegates will come
from Columbus Wednesday dfternoon, and
all the rest wil reach the city the next
afternoon by 4 o’clock. Mr. George A.
Smith is chairman of the reception com
mittee and he will be assisted by a large
number of the leaguers of the city. He
will meet the delegates at the depot and
conduct them to the .reception quarters in
old Wolff and Happ building on the corner
of Fourth and Cherry streets, where they
will be placed in the hands of the guides
who w’ill conduct them to their homes.
Every delegate has received .a card tell
ing him where to stop during his stay in
Macon..
The delegation from Atlanta will be the
largest that will attend, and it is estimated
that they will bring at least 200 delegates
and visitors. The delegation from Savan
nah will also be a large one, and Colum
bus will send a car load.
The merchants of the city will commence
decorating tomorrow, if the weather is not
bad. They would have commenced this
morning if it’had not rained. Every im
portant business house in the city has
agreed to decorate in the colors of the
League, and the different shops will repre
sent a pretty sight when the delegates ar
rive.

ELECTION TODAY.
Bonner’s Friends at Work for Him in Jones
County.
The election for ordinary of Jones county
is being held again today.
It will be remembered that the election
for ordinary to succedd Judge Roland
Ross was held some days ago, and Mr.
Henry Bonner was nominated by a ma
jority of 37. E. T. Dumas, who oposed
Bonner, and the executive committee de
clared that it was void and* would have to
be contested over again.
The race was a spirited one, and many
thought until the last moment that Childs
was elected over his two opponents, but
at the last minute the friends of ,Mr. Bon
ner rallied and won the day.
Tihe executive committee after meeting
said that it would not have time to ex
amine the election before today, ithe day
for the regular election, and this was the
only reason for it being void.
There are many people in the county
who are opposed to having the election
over, as they say that Mr. Bonner was
fairly elected, and it has not been proven
that he-was not.

Though the weath
er has been cool
the past few days,
we have been as
busy as we could
be taking orders
and selling out of
our Show Rooms,
but to avoid disap
pc-intmerts wc ad
vise the ladies to
come as early in
the week as pos
sible, not to leave
it to the last day.
We want to please
and satisfy all our
patrons. We are
working at night,
but if the rush is
too big we cannot,
with the best of
will do justice to
our customers and
ourselves. We are
receiving daily
New
Goods
and what you may
not had one day
you will the next,
as we are buying
to keep up our
stock to the high
est standard in our
line.
Very respectfully,
