It Not Granted He Will Re sign the Office. United States Marshal John M. Barnes, •of the Southern district of Georgia, means to go to the war, and no question of office will hold him back. Mr. Barnes wrote to the department about the end of last March, when war seemed to be inevitable. He then then asked simply for leave of absence, saying that in the event of war he wished to go to the front. The department has not answered this letter, and the marshal waited in vain for the permission that would send him to the front among the first. Yesterday when the news of the firing of the first gun came in Marshal Barnes could stand it no longer. He thought that per haps the department thought that he was making a regular Bill Atkinson bluff, but he is not made of that sort of stuff. Marshal Barnes yesterday wrote to the president and in that letter he told Mr. McKinley that he wanted leave of ab sence. He - wanted to go to the front, and if the president did not see fit to allow him to go because he happened to be a United Slates marshal, he would let the marehalship go to thunder, and would go to the war anyhow. It view of this it is altogether proba ble that the president will give rhe mar shal permission to go to the front, and if he does the office will be in charge of Chief Deputy Lock,, who having been through one war, is perfectly content to remain one of the home guard and yet the younger generation go out and see what war is like. Iks fit- Tomorrow in the Churches. A great revival is now in progress at Centenary church, under the leadership of the popular pastor. Beginning only a few weeks ago every’ I service has been blessed in the conversion i of soils, and resulted in a number of ac- ■ cessions to the church. For the last few nights the church has been crowded, evi- i dencing the universal interest that is be ing felt. One of the striking features of this revival is the effective work done ' through ‘the cottage prayer meetings of the ■ children and young people, two of which have been held each afternoon.

HM CONGESTION, Funeral Arrangements Have Not Been Made —Son of the Late Virgil Powers. Mr. Horace Powers, one of the best known citizens in Macon, died at his home, 219 High street today at 11 o’clock of con gestion. The death of Mr. Powers comes a great shock to his many friends in Macon. He was perfectly well last night when he went to bed and got up this morning com plaining a little. He rapidly grew ill until at 11 o'clock he died in great pain. Mr. Powers was bookkeeper for Payne & 'W'illingham up to last Monday, when he left them, his time being up there. He was with this firm all 'through the busy season of the winter. The deceased was 45 years of age. He was a brother of Mr. Virgil Powers and Drewry Powers and Mrs. Charles Bannon, Sr., and a brother-in-law to Mr. Malone, one of the firm of Holt & Malone. He was a son of the late Virgil Powers, who dur ing his life was one of the foremost rail road men of the state. Mr. Powers had never married. He was popular with all classes, and had a pecu liar knack of making friends wherever he went. The arrangements for the funeral have not yet been made, but the interment will be at Rose Hill. Our men’s Vici bals at $3.50 to ?5 are the best in the city. Call and see them. Mix Shoe Co. ROADS ARE NOW BUSY. They Are Hauling Thousands of Soldiers and Tons of Ammunition. The roads leading South have been doing a heavy passenger business the last ten days moving soldiers. Most of these move : ments are by special train and the roads i are getting some revenue from the war. Yesterday the war .department was fig- I uring on the movement of troops from i Tybe and New Orleans to Chickamauga. The regulars at Tybee have not been there . more than a few days. Wry the govern j mnet wanted to move them away is’ a • mystery. A reasonable supposition is that Geor gia troops are to be sent to the coast to de fend Savannah and the regulars will be ; sentto Cuba. It may be the policy of the war department to use state troops for coast defense, but the officials here stated that they had no information on that point. The railroads have been making the gov ernment a rate of 2 cents a mile for the transportation of troops, and that will be the approximate rate. WHY DON’T YOU READ??

New Yorok, April 23. —Senator Gorman, of Maryland, was at the Fifth Avenue Ho ' tel last night. He looked pale and said he was suffering from the grip; that he had had the grip for thirteen years in succes sion, and that he was about tired of it. Senator Gorman said that he did not wish to be quoted at length on the Cuban ques tion, but he shook his head sadly when he he said: “If war is to come it looks to me that it would be a very much longer affair than most people imagine. I cannot help think ing that. Folks who think that this mat ter is to be settled in a day or a few months will, in my estimation, be very sadly mistaken. That is all that I care to say -about the matter at this time.” Senator Gorman, .in 'his remarks, reflec ted the sentiments ot Speaker Reed, Vice President Hobart, Senator Elkins, and others in Washington. A story was started up town last night to the effect that eventually Consul General Lee is to be made Governor General of •Cuba under a temporary American protec torate. Almost every officer of the Con federate army who is now a resident of New York city, has written to General Lee asking to be assigned to his staff in the event of his taking command of a brigade of volunteers. There is also a movement on foot on the part of English residents in New York to raise men and money to sustain the United States against Spain. Henry Clews, who was the fiscal agent of the navy depart menet in civil war days, it was said,, is at the head of this movement, and it is got ten up for the purpose of demonstrating that the English-born citizens now in the United Statese are rady and willing to contribute men -and money to overthrow the Spanish domination on the island of Cuba. James R. Keene and others, it was said, have agreed to furnish their share of the funds. DOUGHERTY COUNTY’S PRIMARY. Albany.
