A Jw ' Ip : w 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.

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.” C-A.STOn.TA.

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.

MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 15 1898. 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. represented on the grounds by Messf?

The invitation announces that the entertain ment will commence at 8 o'clock and con tinue until 11 o’clock. It also announces that the small admission of 15 cents will be charged. A splendid program has been prepared for this occasion, and al who attend will be highly entertained. 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. Important Gathering oi Workers Will be in Gainesville. The Georgia State Sunday School Con vention, which is to meet i«i Gainesville on next Monday and remain in session until Wednesday night, will be one of the larg est and most important gatherings ever assembled in this staje.
