The following article is from the pen of
Mrs. Edgar A. Ross, and is of unusual in
terest :
13 OUR NATIONAL NUMBER.
There has ben a good deal lately in the
papers about April being our war month,
but the remarkable recurrence of the num
ber 13 in the history of the United States
is still more peculiar. It became our nat
ional number when it was perpetuated
upon the Great Seal of the Union.
No less a trio than Benjamin Franklin,
Thomas Jeffer.-on and John Adams select
ed the mottoes and decided upon the em
blems and symbols to be used upon a seal.
The thirteen colonies suggested that
number ns a foundation upon which to
build. . But the finished and approved
faces of the obverse and reverse seals no
doubt contain many more thirteens than
they inti tided. Fo’’ instance, they deter
mined upon a constellation with 13 stars,
shield with 13 paleways, a pyramid with
13 blocks and 13 arrows in the eagle’s
claw, but It is to be doubted that they
lookid further than this for the number.
It is a little strange that the motto on
the eagle’s scroll, E. Pluribus I'iium, con
tains exactly 13 letters. Thomas Jefferson
first proposed this motto and his birthday
is April 13th. Then the motto above the
pyramid on the reverse face, Amicus
Uoeptis, also contains 13 letters.
The number 13 has always been said by
• Cabalists to be a mystical number which
has, in some way. been prominent in
every rebellion in history. And the first
time this number Is mentiontd in Scrip
ture it is in connection with rebellion
(Gen. xiv: 1). Perhaps this is why our
nation is marked 13 (and perhaps there is
still a deeper reason), lint at any rate 13
colonies rebelled against England.
When the Confederate states seceded,
the beginning of hostilities was the fall of
Fort Sumter on April 13th.
At present Cuba Is in rebellion and this
Kith nation is liable to assist those who
struggle for freedom. Note House resolu
tion passed on April 13th.
Numbers hide strange secrets sometimes.
Suppose you add the digits of our year of
Independence 1776 as follows: 1-7-7-6—21.
And 21 is the age. of maturity at which a
man is allowed to go free and independ
ent.
Most of the above facts are gathered
from “The Great Seal of the United
States," a very remarkable book of inter
esting historical facts by Prof. C. A. L.
Totten.

"Straws show which way the wind
blows' and a man’s way of spending or
saving a nickel will often serve as an in
dex to the man’s character. All of us
have seen the man who stopped the news- ,
boy long enough to glance over the news
paper and then handed it back, and our
opinion of the matt was by no means ele
vated. If a man wishes to see the paper
at. till, it is surely worth paying for, and
the following criticism from the Woman’s
Department of the Atlanta Journal, is
worthy of note:
"Stealing the News.—The habit of in
discriminate expectoration on the streets
■and street cars, the turning always to the
left instead of the right on public thor
oughfares. the pausing on street corners
of groups of people who thus obstruct
numbers of pedestrians, all seem to be
part of a system too firmly fixed on to
hope for n change.
"But there is a common specimen of
pilfering which can surely be abolished,
a newsboy appears upon the street with
extna or regular Journal: the little fellow
is stopped by a bjg. burly, ruffian who
reads the special news in the headlines,
and hands the paper back to the boy with
out so much as thanks, having stolen the
news as well as prevented a possible sale
to some one else.
It is a contemptible practice, and one
Tthlch any man should be ashamed of.”

SCENES IND DREAMS IN OTHER
LANDS.
By Valeria Lamar McLaren—Chambers’
' Printing Company, 24 New Chambers
Street, New York.
Good books of travels, like this, make
excellent reading. They waft the thoughts
away from the present. This work has
many charms. It pleases those who have
visited Europe and those who have not.
The following shows the light in which
the Scotts view ’Queen Bess’:
“Leaving here (Melrose Abbey) we made
direct for Abbottsford—the home of Sir
Walter Scott —which rests by the river
Tweed, hemmed in by beautiful hills and
patriarchal trees. It is a stately house,
and impressed us with its sternness. This
might have been caused from the peculiar
gloom of the day—for it was raining pit
eously. In some measure it called to my
mind sweet ‘Sunnyside,” upon the Hud
son. the once romantic home of our ideal
writer, Washington Irving. Unlike our
American story-teller, however, in that
the alm of Scott was to found and glorify
a family. Washington Irving’s ideals
sprang Into being with the sole intent of
polishing the rough corners of our nature,
and leaving this world much brighter and
better for his having lived. This home of
Scott is now in the possession of his great
granddaughter—the Hon. Mrs. Maxwell
Scott—who takes the keenest pride in pre
serving the quaint gifts and valuable col
lections once brought together by the min
strel and poet. The library is almost as
he left it sixty years ago. and among its
twenty thousand volumes some of the
rarest prints arc to be found. Os the relics
certainly the most precious is the ivory
•'ross once clasped to the heaving bosom
of Mary, Queen of Scotts, as she was being
carried to the block. An excellent carica
■ ure of the ‘Good Queen Bess’ adorns one
of the.walls. She is in the act of holding I
up her voluminous petticoats and dancing
before Spain's ambassador. Her great but
graceful booked nose all but touches her
insteps. The cartoon is rendered all the
more piquant On account of the spider
like ankles given to the queen.”

NEW BILL .
FOR ROSTER
Os Confederate Troops is Met
With Opposition in
Bibb County.
A TREMENDOUS EXPENSE
Which is Said Cannot Possibly Ben
efit the County^-What it Will
Cost the County.
Considerable opposition has developed in
Bibb country to tne bill passed at the last
session of the legislature relative to the
compiling of rosters for companies of con
federate soldiers who took part in the late
war,
Tre bill is an act to provide for the pro
curement of a complete roster by compa
nies of all the troops furnished by the
state of Georgia in the Confederate army.
Section 1 that before the first day
of February, 1898, the ordinary in each
county of the state shall appoint a com
mittee of three from the survivors, wheth
er residents of said county or not, to be
known as roster committee, of each com
pany raised in said county during the late
civil war actually engaged in the-Confed-'
crate service of the said state and or the
mrtitla that were in actual service.
The second section prescribes that the
committee shall be appointed at the in
stance of the suvivors of the company.
The third section of the bill sets forth
the duties of the committee. That it shall
be their duty before the first of August to
pare and file with the ordinary a complete
roster of said county, and the fourth sec
tion prescribes that the roster shall con
tain a complete roster of every member of
said company who went into the war, ar
ranged in alphabetical order, and oppo
site each name shall be a short statement
of the time of enlistment, and the rank
obtained thereafter; if transferred to or
from another company, when and what
command; if wounded when and where,
etc. In the fifth section it is prescribed
that a complete description of the compa
ny, battalion and regiment be given.
It is further ordained that notice of the
filing of the roster shall be advertised in
the newspapers four times. It is further
provided that the whole roster be filed
with the clerk, who shall report the same
to the presiding judge.
In the twelfth section it is prescribed
the expenses of taking rosters be paid as
are court expenses, are paid out of the
county funds, that the ordinary shall re
ceive for all his actions $3 on each
roster where no objection is made
and. $5 where objection is made, and that
the clerk shall receive ten cents per hun
dred words for recording, and the sheriff
35 cents each for serving the committee
with notice.
Ordinary Wiley has received a request
from the state department in Atlanta ask
ing how many blanks, etc., he will want
for Bibb county, and asks that he pro
ceed to appoint the committees M once if
he has not already done so.
The objection in Bibb is made upon the
. grounds that this undertaking will be a
heavy expense which does not redojivl to
the county’s good, and as it is for the bene
fit of the state the state should bear the
expense.
Colonel Wiley estimates that there were
thirty companies went from Bibb county.
According to the provisions of th’s bill
three men are to be selected from each
company, making a totail of ninety men.
At the lowest estimate Colonel Wiley says
that it will take at least twenty days in
which to procure the desired information,
and that it would be impossible to get the
members of the committee to work for
less than $2 per day, and it is hardly prob
able that they would consent to work for
that amount. Ninety men at $2 per day
for twenty days would be $3,600, and the
additional expense of advertising, ordina
ry’s sheriff s and clerk’s fees would swell
the amount to about to about $5,000, and
all of this money has to come out of the
county funds with no benefit to the coun
ty.
The county commissioners are now con
ferring with the county attorney as to
what course they can pursue to resist the
provisions of the bill. They will render
their decision at their next meeting in
May.
WILL MACON INVITE
The Southern Baptist Convention to Meet
Here Next Year?
To ..he Editor of lhe New*: - I desire to
thank President R. M. Rogers of the
Chamber of Commerce for his timely ad
dress .to the citizens of Macon favoring
inviting the Southern Baptist Convention.
Some facts about the Southern Baptist
'Convention may help our people to see
the importance of extending to it a cor
dial invitation to meet here in May, 1898.
As its name indicates, it embraces the
Southern states. It is composed of dele
gates from the Baptist churches of these
states, and so should it convene in our
city, will bring to us the representative
men of one of the largest denominations
in the world. w-ould probably be
800. delegates, besides many visitors. The
visitors will not only be from the South
but from the North and the East. Among
these delegates will be found some of the
greatest living preachers, the most re
nowned educators and the wealthiest lay
men. In conjunction with th? convention
the Woman’s Missionary Union holds its
annual meeting. Many elect ladies will
attend this meeting.
It will be impossible for such a gathering
to convene in our city without leaving its
impress for good, indeed it will be a bene
diction to us. „
Apart from the spiritual good to be re
ceived, it will be remembered that there
is another side to the question. The fact
that such a convention meets in our city
will give Macon at once prominence in the
South. All of the Baptist papers will be
a medium of advertisement, and also a
great many secular sheets will give re
ports of the gathering and write up the
city in which it meets.
The convention meets about May 6th.
This is the time when Macon has put on
her beautiful garments and will appear to
the best advantage. Many hava bad a de
sire to see our city since the famous Henry
Ward Beecher declared years ago that
“Macon i- the most beautiful citv in the
Southland.” The people will come, be
captivated: and return to their homes with
praise and prayer on their lips. Indeed it
sec-ms to me a great opportunity for us.
Other cities will do. much to secure the
prize. Should we make afi effort?
I shall be glad to hear from those who
are interested in this matter. It is no
small undertaking to entertain such a
body, but we can easily and handsomely
do so if we will. The Baptists of the city
while quite numerous, will have to look I
to the other denominations and the city
at large for assistance.
Very truly,
J. L. White.

GOOD SCORES
Are Being Made bv Marks
men at the Park
Today,
The gun club “ tournament has been a
great success, though the attendance has
not been as large as was expected. Thise
is said to be due to the fact that the whole
country is stirred up over the war ques
tion and many of those who are deeply
interested in all these tournaments can
not get away from their business at so,
critical a time to enjoy themselves.
The weather has been somewhat
against the shooting, but notwithstanding
this some fine scores have been made.
Toiay the live bird tournament is on
and there is a keen rivalry among those
who are engaged.
It is probable that the sqpre sheet will
show at the end of the day that as fine
shooting has been done at live birds as has
ever been done at any tournament that
has been shot off in the South. ’
The birds are a good collection and are
spry and strong. They get away in good
shape, but some of the guns are infallible
and few of the luckless birds get over
the boundaries, and those that do are
brought down by a number of outsiders
who are on stands beyond the boundariese
and in the direction that the birds will
most probably take.

One of the most popular visitors on the

Two more events are to be shot off this
afternoon.
The wind is a little off, but the shooting,
as indicated in the first event, is very
good. In the second , event Harris and
Huff, of Macon, held up their end of the
shooting well, scoring five and six birds,
respectively out of the seven trapped.

WHO WILL PAY
FOR PRIMARIES
Question That the County Ex
ecutive Committee Will
Decide Tomorrow.
I NO PROVISION MADE
In the Past for This Expense and the
Committee is in a Quandary as
# to What to Do.
The county Democratic Executive com
mittee will meet tomorrow at noon for the
purpose of making arrangements for the
I holding of the primaries.
The question as to who will pay the ex
pense of the June primary and what these
expense will be, are matters that the ex
ecutive committee must take up and pass
upon.
In former years in Bibb the primaries
in which governors and state house offi
cers were voted for have been held at the
same time as the county primary,
and never before has there been any ques
tion as to the payment of the expenses, as
the -county executive committee paid the
county expenses, and there was no cost
attached to the voting for governor and
the stale house officials. This year, how
ever, the county and congressional pri
mary will be held April 21st, and on June
Gth there is nothing but the vote for gov
ernor and state house officials.
The Constitution says: "it would be un
| fair to assess the candidates in the June
primary, as is done in ocher primaries,
j .for there will be 'but a few to bear the
expenses, and the cost of the primary
would be more than equal to the salary of
the offices for which the contest is being
made. There is no provision in law for
• the calling 'of a primary and the payment
. of the expenses incurred. The law fixes
the election and the cost of the election,
but does not touch th« primary.”
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.
