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, No. 6, l box No. 6, one crate, one reel shaft, one tongue, two wheels, otic piece wood, one axel. *To Abbeville —One mower, four pack ages.

To Abbeville —Two pieces potware, three kegs nails, three bundles steel plows, one coil rope.

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.

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. The following delegates will attend the conference from the Columbus district: St. Luke—J. M. Britt, (Banks Tarver, Alice Sampey, Pauline Cantrell, Mark A. Bradford, Jr., Lucile Cantrell, iA. F.

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. Tihe election is being held today and the outcome is being watched with interest, and the friends of Mr. Bonner say that they will pile up a larger majority for him this time. Shoes’ Shoes! Shoes!
