2 MILITIJ MEN MUST BE READY A Call May be Made at Any Time for Large Number of Troops. FIFTH THOOSAND AT FIRST Will be the Number Called—lt is Not at all Improbable that a Large Number Will Follow. A Washington correspondnt says the question of how many of the militia of the several states shall be called into service for active duty when military operations are decided upon, in engaging the attention , of the president and the officials of the I war department. The opinion was expressed by one of the latter today that when an order issued concentrating the regular army at some southern point the president will call for 50,000 of the militiamen. This number, it is believed, will suffice for immediate pur poses. Opinions differ as to the exact time when the orders for the regular army to concentrate and the call for the militia will be issued, some officials believing they will come tomorrow or the day after and others when the president signs the resolution declaring for intervention. It is suggested that the administration desired to avoid taking steps for concen tration in advance of the signing of the intervention resolution because it might be construed as a step intended for actual hostilities. The circumstances differed, it was said, from the case with the navy, in which although both Spain and the United States were making active preparations, neither had assembled its fleet in the wa ters of the other. Secretary Alger was quoted as having said to some visitors to day that if congress directed the president to use the land and naval forces in the case of Cuba, a call by the president for 50,000 volunteers (militiamen) would be made within forty-eight hours thereafter. The secretary declined to affirm or deny the report, but it is fully expected that such a call will be made. Through the efforts of Assistant Secre tary Meiklejohn, the department has in formation bearing on the carrying capacity and speed of every vessel engaged in the coastwise trade which is of particular use at this time. Mr. Meiklejohn desires the statement made that the war department will not buy any vessels for the purpose to which these vessels may be put, pre ferring to chartr them in every case. Orders have been issued directing Gen eral Wesley Merritt, commanding the de partment of the east, and General Graham, commanding the department of the gulf, to htirry work on the artillery pogts under their jurisdiction. They will avail them selves of all the facilities at their com mand to carry this order into effect and will direct such movements or artillery forces and men as may be necessary. A CLEVER TRICK.

Collins Speaks of the Effect of War in the South. Mr. W. W. Collins, who u the Southern i representative of the Fidelity Deposit * Company of Baltimore, was in the city ' yesterday for a few hours. Mr. Collins, | who is well known in Macon as at one : time was one of its most popular and i prominent business men Is now looking [ after the interests of his company in every i state in the South. He is continually | traveling and no man is in a better posi- ! tion than he to judge of the sentiment as | to the war all over the Southern states. | He says that the war feeling is strong. I His company has an agency in nearly every town and all these agencies are visited by Mr. Colins. He says that a large number of the agents have notified him that they may at any time be called to the front and that they will consider it their duty to go. Those who do ndt be long to military companies, many of them has stated that in the event of war it will be their pleasure to take up arms. Aside from the patriotic feature of it Mr. Collins says that the effect on busi ness cannot be fully appreciated until the time comes but that it will be tremendous ■ there can be no doubt. 1 The fie- simile Zw z z 19 - a W.gai:ur-< S at ’ - ■ S/Jg THE’NUMBER 13. The Bad Luck Theory Em phaticaHy Dis proven. When thirteen young ladies from other cities and states recognize the superior advantages of the Georgia Business Col lege and enter m one week it means bad luck neither to the college nor to the city. Thirteen is the exact number of new names enrolled on the college register this week, and it was preceded by eight new entries the previous week. New desks have been purchased and added to the college every month for the past seven months. IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. That is What the County Attorneys Say About the New Roster B !. As stated in The News yesterday after i noon, the county commissioners asked the i opinion of the county attorneys as to the I constitutionality of tie new raster bill which was passed at *the las; legislature for the purpose of making a complete ros i ter of the Confederate soldiers, cf the coun ties of the state, and the opinion of the at j torneys has been rendered, and says that ;n their opinion the bill is unconstitutional. The commissioners will act upon the ad vice of the attorneys, and will resist the provisions of the bill, which, they say, calls for an expense that cannot be of any benefit to the county. SOLDIERS TO TYBEE. A Company From McPherson Barracks Pass ed Through Last Night to Tybee. A company of the United States soldiers from McPherson barracks passed through Macon last night en route to Tybee, where they go to man the fortifications at that place. Another company from McPherson went to Charleston yesterday morning, and it is said that preparations are being made at the barracks to have all the sol diers move at a moment’s notice. The railroads are making a good thing out of the movement of troops, and have been notified to keep equipment in readi ness for handling them. RILEY’S PHILOSOPHY. The Poet Says “if God Sends Rain, Rain's My Chcbce.” “If God sends rain, rain’s my choice,” is the philosophy of James Whitcomb Ri ley. This is the philosophy of taking things as they come, not worrying over what can not be helped, doing the best one can. and not fretting and fuming over disappointments. There is a whole sermon in those seven words. Riley is an optimistic philosopher. He is always writing something to cheer, to encourage, to lift one up. He is always I saying, “Don’t be discouraged; don’t give up.” Who bides his times—he takes the sweet Os honey in the salted tear; And though he fares with slowest feet, Joy runs to meet him, drawing near. Again he says: “The kind of man for you and me is the one who faces the world' unflinchingly, and smites the world as long as it resists.” “Our kind of a man," he says, “lives the life he is preaching cf.” By the way, it is interesting to know that this American master poet of the dialect, is fonder of Burns than anv of the other bards, referring to him in these words: “Sweet singer, that I loe the maist o’ ony.” Invitations are coming here for Mr. Ri ley to visit some of the smaller cities in the state. It is stated bV his representa tives that Mr. Riley will visit but two cities in Georgia—Atlanta and Macon —re- turning home from the latter city. The Sure La Grippe Cure.

Lamar & Sons Cherry St. Macon, Ga. a i i iiiih A woman cannot be too careful of her health. Her happiness as maid, wife and mother is dependent upon it. Every wo man should realize that her general health depends upon her health in a womanly wav. When a woman complains of being slug gish, dizzy, nervous and despondent the average doctor attributes these symptoms to heart trouble, or disorders of the liver. He is not right once in ten times. When a woman feels this way she is usu ally suffering from weakness or disease of the organs distinctly feminine. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the best of all known remedies for suffering women. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs that bear the burdens of maternity. It makes their, strong, healthy and vigor ous. Thousands of women who were weak, nervous, fretful and unhappy wives are to day happy, healthy, helpful and robust as the result of the use of this marvelous rem edy. It is the discovery of an eminent and •killful physician, Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. During those years, with the assistance of a staff of able physicians, he has prescribed for many thousands of ailing women. He will gladly, without charge, answer letters from suffering wo men. The “Favorite Prescription” is for sale by all good medicine dealers and noth ing else is “just as good.” Sister Eliza L. de Falcon, of Corpus Christi, Nueces Co., Tex., writes: “This is to tell you that I have bee. ill for twenty-one years and was finally cured by your medicines, ‘ Golden Med ical Discovery and ‘Favorite Prescription.' I was completely cured after taking this medicine.” FRENCH TANSV WAFERS These are the Genuine French Tans; Wafers, imported direct from Paris.

KING, Druggist, sole agent for Macon, Ga. s H I ; 'li/R g KNIFE P. P. P.. Lippman’s Great Remedy, Saves a Man From Becoming a Cripple. Mr. Asa Ammons, a well-known citizen of Jacksonville, Florida, was afflicted by a terrible ulcer. Medical skill seemed unavailing in stopping the ravages of the terrible disease. The leg was swollen and intensely painful, as the ulcer had eaten its way down to the very bone. All medicines and treatments having failed to effect a cure, the doctors said the leg must come off. Just when it seemed that Mr. Ammons would become a disabled and a crippled man, he tried P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, and the re sult was wonderful. P. P. P. SAVES HIS LEG. “ Jacksonville, Fla., July 1, 1895. — Two years ago I had the worst ulcer on my leg I ever saw. It had eaten down to the bone, and my whole leg below my knee, and my foot was swollen and inflamed. The bone was swollen and painful, and discharged a most offensive matter. My physicians said I had necrosis of the bone, and my leg would have to come off. At this stage I commenced to take P. P. P. and to bathe my leg with hot castile soap suds. It began to improve at once and healed rapidly, and is to-day a sound and useful leg. “ I think P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, is ail a man could ask for as a blood purifier, as I have known it to cure so meterrible cases of blood poi soning in a remarkably short time. “ASA AMMONS.” TERRIBLE BLOOD POISON. The body covered vzith sores—two bottles of P. P. P. made a positive and permanent cure. This is only one cf many thousand similar cases. Catarrh yields at once to P. P. P. That smothered feeling at night, that heavy feeling in the day can and should be removed ; P. P. P. will do it if you only give it a chance. Indigestion and constipation go hand in hand.
