"near Brother North: I have been won

Rr Everybody needs a strengthening, purifying tonic

task can not be accomplished without the assistance of
a cleansing, health-renewing medicine, and for this
purpose Swift’s Specific, S. S. S., stands out alone, with
out an equal. It purities the blood, improves the rip
petite, builds up and strengthens, gives a ruddy,,
healthy complexion, removing all pimples and blotches,,
and so tones up and invigorates as to impart new life
and energy to the entire system.

At ithin the past few years I began to fail in health and
could attribute it to nothing in particular until I realized
that my blood was impoverished. A few bottles of 8. S’. S.
built me up wonderfully, increased my weight and gave me
a splendid appetite. It is the best tonic and blotal purifier
made. AV. M. Bucklin,

I take pleasure in recommending Swift’s Specific as a
Blood Purifier. A few bottles cured me of a blood trouble
I after all other remedies had failed. It also removed pim

smooth. While taking S. S. S. my appetite increased and
my general health improved. Its effects as a tonic are un

I have not seen any mention of special

THEODORE ROOSEVELT’S
Mother Was a Miss Bulloch of Roswell,
Georgia.
It is not generally known that Theodore
Roosevelt, the assistant secretary of 'the
navy, ‘who has applied for a place on 'the
staff of General Lee, is the son of a
Georgia woman.
The announcement in yesterday’s News
that Mr. Roosevelt desired to follow
the distinguished Confederate leader in
ease of war with Spain, recalls 'to mind
the fac J t that the assistant secretary of
Hie navy rs by inheritance a 'Southerner
and a Georgian. Theodore Roosevelt, Sr.,
married 'Miss Mittie Bulloch. The wed
ding took place in the Title town of Ros
well. in Cobb county, Georgia.
Miss ißulloch was a member of the dis
tinguished family of that name. Her 'fa
ther was one of the leading men of his day.
One of her bi others .was Captain James
Bulloch, of the Confederate navy, and an
other was Erwin Bulloch, wffio was res
cued from the Alabama, as she was sink

still alive and now resides in Liverpool.
VOLUNTEERS
SELECT CAMP
Will Pitch Their Tents on
Property Near Crump’s
Park in Vineville.
PREPARING FOR WAR.
Place Was Selected Yesterday —
Will Camp Out at Night and
Drill Every Morning.
Yesterday the committee selected by the
Macon Volunteers, composed of Messrs.
Granville Connor, W. E. Dunwody and C.
B. Rhodes, went out to select a place to
locate the camps that the Volunteers will
occupy for the next week or two.
The committee decided on the vacant
fif'd in front of Colonel Huff's place in
V 'tn ville as the most desirable for the
purposes of pitching the‘tents.
Coionel Huff generously told th? com
pany that be would do anything to make
the place more desirable that they might
hugest. The place has all of the natural
advantages, such as a spring and drill
grounds.
It will not be necessary to erect a mess
tent, as the men will get their meals at
home, going out to the camp after busi
ness hours, and returning early in 'he
morning. They will get up at 5 o’clock in
the morning and have coffee and hard
tack.
The exact date on which the Volunteers
will go into camp Is not known, as they
are short on tents and are waiting for them
to come from the department at Atlanta.
Every member of the Volunteers Is per
fectly willing to go with the company to
the front in case they are called on, and
Car tan 'Hunter says that he is proud of
the spirit that has been shown by the
men.
Several new members have been enlis
ted within the past week or two, and the
company now has a full membership.

SOLDIERS HERE,
The Fifth Infantry on Their
Way to the Front Were
Well Received.
THE BAND PLAYED DIXIE
As the Soldiers Left, and the Big
Crowd Cheered Them on .
Their Wdy.
Four companies of the Fifth Regiment
infantry United States soldiers passed
■through the city yesterday afternoon en
route to Tampa.
There -were twenty cars in both trains
that brought the men and the supplies
down from the McPherson Barracks. The
first section reached Macon at 6:15 and
the Second at 6:45.
Long before the arrival of the trains the
railroad cuts were lined with thousands of
people who knew that the troops were go
ing to pass through and wanted to seee
them. As the first train came by a mighty
shout went up from thousands of throats,
and many a person who had been through
the late civil war were painfully reminded
of some of the incidents of those days.
Some of the soldiers were sitting on top
of the box cars as the Confederates did
while going from place to place, and the
waving of the grey campaign hats was not
a new sight to many.
The first section, consisting of ten cars,
was in command of. Major Porter. There
were two companies of fifty-six men each.
Company F was commanded by Captain
Geo. P. Bowen, Lieutenant E. C. Corna
han and Lieutenant Crowly. Company A
was commanded by Captain E. W. Ran
dall, Lieutenants M. O'Brien and Frank
Morrow.
The second section contained companies
C and D and the Second Regiment band,
and as this section of the train pulled into
Macon the band commenced playing na
tional airs, and the thousands who were
present sent up cheer after cheer as t'T-he
Stars and Stripes’” and ‘‘Yankee Doodle,”
but nothing could equal the scene when
“Dixie” was played. Thousands of hats
were tossed into the air, and the old vete
rans, who had been letting the others do
the shouting heretofore, forgot that they
were old and shouted and capered like
school boys. There- was a fire in their
eyes that told well that they were again
ready to follow General Fitzhugh Lee
against any foeman.
A News reporter boarded both the trains
and asked a. number of the men if they
were anxious to get into the field. They
said they had been waiting for this oppor
tunity for the past weeks with longing
and that they were delighted with the idea.
They are in heavy marching order with
'their tents and other utensils and accou
trements.
Sargeant Frank A. Kidwell, of Company
F, lost his haversack just as the first sec
tion of the train came into the city, and
requests that whoever finds it forward it
to him at Tampa, Fla., care Company F,
Fifth regiment infantry. The haversack
is marked with 'the number of the company
and regiment and cannot be of any service
much to any one but a soldier. If he does
not get the haversack he will have it
charged up to him, which means much to
a soldier. It is equal to demerits in school.
Pie will pay all expenses of transmission.

following:

Professor Martin replied to the students
and said that he was perfectly willing to
go to the front as their captain and that if
they would stick to their agreement he
•would follow them to the last gasp.
He said that he used the word follow
advisedly, as he thought that they would
agree with him that in the event of their
going to the front oq account of his great
height it would only be fair to him to al
low him to command the company from the
rear. This precaution, he was neces
sary in order that he might be protected
from the bullets of friends as well as foes.
