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. > CA.STOni-A-.

TIDWELL, Manager City Circulation. 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. CA.SITOn X The sac- •Imi Is x'Tk z z ~ ' ls o» 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. Subscribers must pay up and not allow small balances to run over from week to week.

((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. CAPF. NOBLE DEAD. New York. April Ih—News has been re ceived of the death in Dresden, Germany, of -Captain Henry B. Noble, of the United States army. 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. Notes Taken On the Run.

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 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. NEW SYSTEM.
