GUS FAMBLES
Will be Taken to the Penitentiary for Life
This Afternoon.
Jl
<lus Hambies, the last of the celebrated
prisoners that were in the Bibb county
Jail when Jailer Phil Stephan took charge
last Juno will be taken from the jail this
after noon and carried to the Gress Lum
ber camp. Where he will commence serving
his life sent< nee for complicity in the
crime for which Mrs. Nobles has been sent
Co the penitentiary.
Transfer Guard L. P. Stovall passed
(through the city this morning ami left
'word with Jailer Stephan to have Hambies
ready when he called for him this after
noon.
Hambies was seen by a News representa
tive ami an attempt was made to get him
to tell of the crime, as the betaals of it
have never been told by anyone but Mrs.
Nobles, which she has since denied. Fum
bles is not as crazy as some people would
presume, and larefully avoided saying
anything that did not concur with his for
mer statements. He said that he knew
nothing of the crime and that he was in
his house the night that the crime was
committed, die said that his wife and he
was suffering for something that he never
did. and that he pm his trust in the Lord
■to get him out of the trouble as soon as
possible.
Fambbles said that he was sorry to leave
Che jail and praistd Jailer Stephan highly
for his treatment since he has been con
fined there. He said he had no complaint
<0 make. Jailer Stephan said Hambies has
been one of the best prisoners that he had
had to deal with ami that he has been an
assistance to him in many ways.
A remarkable feature of this case is the
fact that since the 'first trial not one bit of
evidence as to the guilt of Mrs. Nobles or
any of those concerned in the crime has
been offered. The first trial and decision
was merely on the evidence offered by
•Mis. Nobles herself when she admitted the
crime ami implicated Gus Hambies. Mary
Hambies and Dalton Joiner. She has since
denied that she knew anything about the
crime and said she never said that she
eommittml it. But the decisions of the
court were such that she could not get a
new trial and there was no chance to in
troduce new evidence as to her guilt or
innocence
Hambies has always denied that he had
anything te. do with the ease, and; says
chat he was at home the night the murder
look place and was the first one to notify
the 1 eopie that old man Nobles was miss
ing.

WELCOME VISITORS.

An' the birds are wingin’ sweeter, and the

We’re mightly glad, I tell you, in Georgy—

That we went to spark the widow that

'An’ tasted o’ the coffee that wuz “yaller

She pourin' twlct as much, sir, as the
shiny cups would hold!
We’re mighty glad, I tell you, we had a
day once more
With “felers o' the Mudsock tribe” down
thar at “Wess’s store,”
An’ larnt more in a minute than we ever
lain, in books,
Whar the springtime dews wuz ticklin’ on
‘‘Green Fields an’ Runnin’ Brook.”
We’re mighty glad we-went thar—jest sor
ter loafed eround’
'Whar the ol’ time birds are stagin’, and
the blossoms hide the town;
That we fel'6 the grass a-ticklin’ o’ the
boys bare feet ag’in,
An’ the sold throwed wide the winders an'
let the soun shine in!
We’re mighty glad, I 'tell you; an, at this

Ter say, it’s rain or sunshine that’s a

As I say goodby ter Riley—plain, honesft

MILITIA MUST
GO IFJRDERED
The President Mav Ignore the
Governor and Send Orders
Direct to Commanders.
PENALTY FOR DISOBEDIENCE.
The Question Has Already Been De
cided by the Supreme Court,
Says Col. Asa P. Gardner.
District Attorney Asa Bird Gardiner,
who is a colonel in the regular army, ex
plained in detail yesterday why the Presi
dent has direct control of the state militia
and may order them to Cuba or wherever
he may see fit at a moment's notice.
Colonel Gardiner is a doctor of law of
New York University, and was professor
of law at West Point. He acted as Judge
Advocate in the army for many years,
having ben assigned to duty in that capa
city in the military division of the Atlan
tic under Major Generals McDowell and
Hancock. He also served several years
as assistant adjutant general.
“I see that Major J. N. Morrison, Judge
Advocate, has given an opinion to the ef
fect that the militia cannot be ordered out
of the territory of the United States at
all,” -said he, “on the ground that the act
of congress of 1795 authorizes the employ
ment of the militia to suppress insurrec
tion, repl invasion and enforce the laws of
the Union.
“It is not the province of a member of
the court of the Judge Advocate to give
an opinion on this point, and I am glad
to see that my friend Major General
Charles F. Roe, lately appointed to the
command of the National Guard of this
state, holds a different opinion.
“A\'e had an instance in the late war of
the militia being called into the service
of the United States to suppress insurrec
tion, but the was department made it a
condition that the militia could only be
brought into service by a muster where it
voluntarily took the oath of allgiance.
“I saw during the war militia called into
service by President Lincoln who when
they arrived at the place of rendezvous and
the regular officers proceeded to muster
them is refused to take the oath and re
turned home. In one instance Pennsyl
vania troops refused in 1563 to be mustered
in for a longer time than that for which
the president had called out their militia,
though the law authorized a longer pe
riod.
“This whole question was settled by the
supremo court of the United States in the
case of Houston against Moore. The court
held that when the president called out
any militia he might direct his orders to
any officer without sending them through
th governor of the state, and that the mo
ment the militia convened at the appoint
ed place of rendezvous they were eo in
stanti in the military service of the United
States for the period specified in the order.
No oath or muster such as that required
for volunteers or regulars when mustered
in was required.
“Major Morrison is quoted as saying
that t.he militia cannot be used beyond the
territory of the United States. I agree
with my friend, Major General Roe, that
this is erroneous. AVe had a lamentable
instance of the operation of Major Morri
son’s rule in the war of 1812 at Queens
town Heights, where th British were as
sembling forces and menacing our fron
tier.
“Major General Van Rensselaer decided
that the only way to repel invasion was to
assault and capture the heights and dis
perse tihe British troops. A detachment
of regulars and militia crossed the narrow
stream into Canada at his command and
under a heavy fire gallantly captured the
heights and droye the British out.
“But the British had an able commander
in Major Genera! Brock, who had been try
ing to concentrate the forces, and he
■brought up reinforcements.
“Major General Van Rensselaer tried to
move the remainder of .Ills militia forward
to the heights, which were in short musket
range from the position they occupied.
But they refused to cross the stream on the
untenable ground that they could not be
sent out of the United States territory.
Major General Bro?k was killed in advanc
ing to recapture the hights, and a monu
ment erected by the British government
on the spot attests his valor. The
icans fought gallantly, but were over
powered by superior numbers, and all were
captured or slain. The militia forces on
the other side of the river, despite Major
General Van Rensselaer’s entreaties, re
fused to cross to assist them, arfd ignobly
watched the unequal fight.
"This incident, demonstrated that It is
entirely in the legitimate discretion of the
military authorities as to what military
movement may be necessary beyond our
territory in order to destroy threatening
forces and repel invasion.
“If an army should be assembled by
Spain In Cuba sufficiently formidable to
menace our peace and safety, and the
proper military authorities should deem it
best to attack and overcome that force, in
order to repel invasion, and the militia
actually in the service of the United States
should be ordered upon that important
duty, resistance by any to the orders of
their superior officers would be at their
peril.”
Colonel Gardiner explained that the
■penalty enforced would be fine and im
prisonment.

BELSHAZZAR’S FEAST
Used as a Text by Rev. Mr. Pinson at Mul
berry Street Church.
At the services at Mulberry Street
church last evening Rev. Mr. Pinson
preached a strong sermon on the words
“Thou are weighed in the balances and
found wanting.”
The line of thought was that judgment
does not wait to come upon man after
death; but that as it came upon the proud
king of Babylon in his life, so aso it comes
upon men now, while yet in life. God is
weighing and testing character every day;
and it is just as true that a man who is
living in violation of the laws of God is
already lost as it is that he will be lost
hereafter. There are none who can stand
the test of God’s laws; but God permits
us by the act of faith to lay hold upon the
life and merit of the Saviour and those
who do this and at the same time live
with strenuous and constant purpose to
realize righteousness and to do the will of
God stand before Him uncondemned.
At the conclusion of the meeting, one
who had been converted, gave his testi
mony of that fact; and several others
came forward in evidence that the meet
ing had reclaimed them from a state of
indifference io the claims of God upon
them.
Four separate prayer meetings are now
going on in connection with the services,
one carried on by the boys, one by the
young ladies,'one by th elderly ladies, and
the other by the workers anymg the men.
The services will continue at 3:30 and
7:30 o’clock.

MACON NEWS TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL ig 1898.
THE ASPHALT CONTROVERSY.
((Continued from first page.)
laid in Philadelphia with Alcatraz asphalt.
All of which facts show the absolute
falsity of anjf statements to the effect that
this material has proved to be a failure
throughout the East.
In California, in climates almost exactly
the same as that of Macon, Alcatraz pave
ments, to the extent of over a quarter of
million square yards, have been in use for
over ten years, have required only the very
slightest repairs, and are today in perfect
condition. In Savannah, the Warren-
Scharf work has shown signs of going to
pieces in every case before it has been
down five years .and is today a patch-work
of repairs.
And so I might go on indefinitely, citing
examples of poor Trinidad work: but not
being in the business for the purpose of
abusing our opponents, I will go no furth
er in this direction.
I would respectfully request the Citizens
of Macon to consider these facts, flrat,
competitive bids were asked for; second,
th- Southern Asphalt Paving Company
was the lowest bidder; third, the material
which that company uses is today the
standard in New York and most of the
other large cities throughout the East,
and has been used with absolute success
ior over ten years in California.
Is it not fair that the Southern Asphalt.
Paving Company shaukl receive the con
tract, despite the abuse heaped upon it by
unprincipled opponents?
I-'. N. VAIL, Superintendent,
The Alcatraz Co., New York.
To the Editor of The Evening News-
As the general manager of the Southern
Asphalt Paving Company, 1 should like
through the columns of your paper to give
some facts as to the standing of- this com
pany. which has beefl attacked by the local
representative of our opponents in Macon.
The Southern Asphalt Paving Company
is a company incorporated under* the laws
of the state of Maryland, with $50,000.00
capital and is now in its third year of
•successful operation. It has laid all of the
asphalt pavements in Baltimore since its
incorporation; its bids have been accepted
under the Washington specifications,
though it has never receive# any work in
that city, not having been the low bidders.
It successfully competed with the ty'ar
ren-Scharf Co., in Savannah last Decem
ber and is now ebmpleting a contract in
that city of 22, 000 square yards of paving
then awarded to them. Their financial
standing was attacked in (Savannah, as it
has been here, with the result of the very
highest rating being given the company
by the leading men of Baltimore as shown
by the following telegrams:
From the Fidelity and Deposit Company
of Maryland: “Southern (Asphalt Paving
Company of Baltimore responsible for con
tract they are bidding for in Savannah.
T.bis company will be pleased to issue
their bonds,”
From (Nelson Perrin, president Consoli
dated railway company: “The Southern
•Asphalt Paving Company has completed a
large amount -of work for the Baltimore
Consolidated railway Company. They are
most reliable and responsible people.
Conifirmed ,by mail.”
From cashier of Old Town Bank, Balti
more: “Southern Asphalt Paving Com
pany's account is kept with this bank.
Composed of responsible business men.
AVe can assure any contract taken by them
will be carried out. Confirmed .by mail.”
From the National Building Supply Co.:
“WeJiave sold the Southern Asphalt Pav
ing Sompany since their incorporation and
consider them financially responsible for
any.amount. It affords us pleasure to en
dorse them. AA’ill confirm by mail.”
From the American Bonding and Trust
Company of Ball iipore City: “Thjs com
pany has been bonding Southern Asphalt
Company of Baltimore, Md., on all its con
tracts and will become their surety to the
city of 'Savannah, Ga., on the contract for
paving with sheet asphalt Drayton street,
if contract is awarded them. We confirm
this by letter tonight.”
Numerous other messages could be
enumerated, which perfectly satisfied the
Savannah authorities, as has been evinced
by our obtaining the contract in that city.
Mr. Duncan seems to think we are not
entitled to recognition because wi have
nbt been in business since asphalt pave
ments were first known in this country..
We do not think this 'an argument, as all
companies must of necessity start before
they can do business. Our work in Balti
more has not gone to pieces, as stated, nor
has one square yard of patchwork been
done on Broadway, which is the first street
we laid in that city. Our work-there has
included about $20,000.00 worth of patch
work which has been done on the pave
ments laid by the Barber representatives
with Trinidad Lake asphalt.
As to tire successful operation of the
Warren-Scharf Company, no better in
stance of their failure can be given than
that of Oglethorpe Avenue in Savannah,
Ga., where they were required to relay,
immediately after completion, about-10,000
square*yards of .their work before it was
accepted and paid for by the Savannah
authorities.
The following telegram received from
T. J. Davis, chairman of the street and
lafle committee of Savannah, Ga., speaks
for itself of the, high esieeni of the Souths
ern Asphalt Paving Company’s work in
that city:
“The work done by the Southern Asphalt
Paving Company on Drayton street is the
best I have ever seen.
(Signed) T. J. Davis,
Chairimn Street and Lane Committee.
Mr. ThomAs B. Gresham, a citizen of
Macon, now residing in Baltimore, has just
wired our Macon representative, “You are
authorized to sign petition for asphalt
pavement tor me in front of rnv First
street property.” Which shows his opin
ion of the Alcatraz pavements as laid in
Baltimore by the Southern Asphalt Paving
Company.
In answer to the abvertiisementsfor bidsfor
sheet asphalt pavement we came to Macon
and entered pur legitimate bid, conforming
in every respect to the strict letter of the
specifications, and being the lowest bidder
and proposing to use a superior article to
pitch lake asphalt, we think that we are
entitled to the consideration of the prop
erty owners and the city authorities of
Macon, which favorable consideration we
respectfully solicit.
Yours very truly,
Southern Asphalt Paving Company,
Arthur L. Shreve, General Manager.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
What Will State Committee Do About this
County's Request.
Among those who have time to talk
politics in these troublous war times there
is no little specula Eion as to the outcome
of the action of the Democratic executive
committee of this county asking the statg
committee to reconsider its rules affect
ing the primaries for both the state of
ficers and the judges of the supreme court..
The members of the committee say that
the state committee has positively no
right to dictate to’the county committee
rules that make an instructed delegation
necessary and that furthermore all option
of a delegation appointed according to the
vote at the primaries in the event of a
deadlock is completely wiped out and that
as these are matters that have from time
immemorial been left to the voters and
to the executive committee of each coun
ty the action of the state committee will
not hold.
They state that unless the state com
mittees sees fit to show their authority
for the making of such rules and that
authority is satisfactory to them they will
not abide by the rule and will leave it to
the voters to decide as to how t.he delega
tion from Bibb shall go. There is a very
decided inclination in this county to send
an uninsirueted delegation ami it is prob
able from the present outlook that the
rules of the committee will be ignored un
less they see fit to change them in some
way.
The members of the committee say that
they are not alone in their views among
the executive committees of the counties
of the state, but that their example will
be followed in several of the counties un
less the committee takes some action such
as they ask of them in the resolutions
passed *it the last meeting of the com
mittee on Saturday.

HOME GUARD
IO BEFORMED
Movement on Foot to Organ
ize Companies for the
Protection of this City.
WHEN MILITIA ORDERED AWAY
Some of the Most Prominent Men in
the Community Will Join in the
Movement—lt’s a Necessity.
“The Home Guard" has become a stand
ing joks but it is nevertheless a fact that
there is a very decided movement on foot
to organize a company of volunteers who
will take the place of the regular militia
of the oity when they may Jbe called out.
It is pointed out that such an organiza
tion will be a necessity and that there are
enough members of the military companies
whose enlistments have expired to make
more than one company.
Aside from the joke and the play upon
the name, it Is a fact that an application
will be made to the governor for the right
to organize such a company a x that the
application Will be made within a few
days.
In case of the withdrawal of the regular
militia the town will not feel safe with
out some such organization, and while
there are many military men in the com
munity who would like to go to the front
with the rest of the boys, they do not feel
warranted in volunteering as private sol
diers at this time and being obliged to
leave their families behind them.
The matter has been discussed in all
earnestness, with a full realization of the
responsibilitres involved.
'Such an organization will take charge of
one of the armories of the present compa
nies during their absence from the city,
and it is presumed that they would have,
no difficulty in securing the necessary
supply of arms and equipments.
Some of the most representative men of
the community have signified their inten
tion of joining the new company.
The sudden withdrawal of all the troops
and leaving nothing but the regular police
would, boa danger that must be avoided.

Cumberland Islam! this week. The con
vention wil begin Wednesday and will
continue until Saturday. Macon will be
well represented. Dr. W. H. Elliott will
reau a paper on "Mushrooms, a Food and
a Poison," Dr. J. L. Heirs will read a pa
per on “Malaria as an Ontological Factor
in Asthenopia.” Dr. E. R. Corson will dis
cuss a rare form of bone atrophy following
an ununited fracture as seen by the X-ray.
Dr. S, Latimer Phillips will read a paper
on “Suppurative .Otticisinedia in Child
hood.” and Dr. W. E. Fitch will discuss
"Tight Lacing."
The Georgia Medical Association is the
representative medical organization in the
state.
It is expected it will take some action
looking to legislation. In referring to this
matter, the Georgia Journal of Medicine
and Surgery says: “The united voice of
this meeting sluAild be heard by our legis
lators in such away as to secure better
legislation . Why should we have but one
board of examiners?—"Regular .Board of
Medical Examiners” —and if Eclectics and
homeo quacks, osteopaths and Christian
Scientists desire to practice in Georgia,
compel them and all others to pass a rigid
examination, before being turned loose
upon an unwary and unsuspecting pub
lic."
The officers of the association are as
follows:
President— Dr. J. P. Morgan, of Au
gusta.
Vice ipres’idents— Dr. J. Lawton Heirs,
of Savannah, and Dr. L. J. Hardeman, of
Harmony Grove.
Secretary—Dr. R. H. Taylor, of Griffin.
Treasurer—Dr. E. C. Goodrich, of Au
gusta.
The dayafter the convening of the med
ical association, the annual meeting of
Central railroad surgeons will be held.
MERCER TO ATLANTA.
Will Play the Techs Next Saturday, and
Beat Them, of Course.
The Mercer ball team will play her first
game of the season out of Macon next
Saturday when she goes to Atlanta to play
the Techs. A large crowd of Mercer boys
will go up to witness the game and root
for the Mercer team.
There is very little doubt as to the re
sult of the game, as so far the Techs has
not succeeded in beating anybody while
Mercer downed everything she has gone
up against. Athens gave the Techs a fear
ful drubbing and the Mercer boys say that
they will do the thing up just as artisti
cally. Garrett will probably be in the box
for Mercer.
The game with Athens may have to be
played in Atlanta, as the Athens boys arc
trying to get out of the game altogether
and have suggested that it be played in
Atlanta. Mercer will do almost anything
to geC a game with them, so that she can
show them that she is not only in their
class but above them.
