ERWIN BOUGHT
HIS RESIDENCE.
Sale of the Miller Gordon
Property on College
Street Confirmed.
IN UNITED STATES COURT
On Report of the Receiver—The
Purchaser Was One of the
Attorneys in the Case.
♦
An interesting announcement was made
in the United States court this morning
on the petition of the receiver for the
Progress Loan Improvement and Manu
facturing Company.
Some time ago the receiver was in
structed to sell the property of Messrs.
Miller Gordon and C. P. Marshall which
had been turned over to him for this pur
pose in order to satisfy the outstanding
claims on the stock of the company which
the court had adjudged shoul be paid by
these gentlemen at par.
Among these assets was the residence of
Mr. Miller Gordon on College street. It is
a handsome residence and is one of the
proudest of Macon's most beautiful resi
dence streets.
This house has been purchased by Mr.
Marion Erwin, one of the counsel bring
ing the suit which threw the company into
the hands of a receiver.
It looks like an instance where:
“The mills of the gods grind slowly
But they grind exceeding small.”
While there is really no reason to sup
pose that this transaction is the reslut of
any desire upon the part of Mr. Erwin to
fill out the measure of his victory in this
case.
It is nevertehless a fact that at the out
start of the ease there was more or less
sensational attack made upon the attor
neys for the plaintiffs to the suit and ru
mor had it at the time that Mr. Erwin had
been warned that unless he made certain
concessions he would be made to suffer
in more ways than one. Os course these
were merely matters talked of on the
streets, but this sale of this particular
property renews all this gossip and some
of it is interesting.
The price paid for the property is $4,500.
It was advertised at private sale and bids
wete asked for. Mr. Erwin made the high
est bid and anyone might easily have se
cured the place by a payment amounting
to a very small over the amount for which
it has been sold.
TO GO AS NURSES.
Several Young Ladies of Macon Have Vol
unteered.
Several young ladies of Macon have vol
unteered their services to the governor to
act as nurses in case the volunteer troops
of Georgia are called out. The same
spirit of loyoalty that was’displayed by the
women of the South during the late war is
again being displayed, and no one will
hold the soldiers on to victory quicker
than the fair daughters of the South.
There are a number of the young ladies
who are making preparations to go to
Key West, in case the real fighting com
mences, and go into the hospitals that
would be established there.
IN MACON NEXT.
The Medical Association to Meet —Dr. Wil
liams President.
Dr. H. J. Williams was elected president
of the State Medical convention yesterday.
The convention is now in session at Cum
berland Island, and the news that Dr.
Williams has been selected -as president
of the convention is heard with delight,
as it is a great honor to be selected as
president of the Georgia Medical Associa
tion.
It was also decided yesterday to hold the
next state convention in Macon. The last
session of the Medical Association was held
in Macon.
MAY RECONSIDER.
Motion Mav be Made on Saturday Affecting
Cherry Street.
Not by anw means is the war over—that
ts the war Which the question of paving
has raised. It is not at all improbable
that at the next meeting of the city coun
cil a motion will be offered to re-consider
the action taken at the last meeting which
provided for the laying of Cherry street
in Brick.
It is said that one member of the city
council says that he is not at all satisfied
with the vote and he will move for a re
consideration. This will bring on more
talk.
The claim is made that 77 per cent of
the property owners on that street having
asked for asphalt, it is entirely beyond
the limit of right that the petition should
be set aside and another material be laid.
Mayor Price, however, says that the
property owners will sign anything and
that he has petitions for all sorts of mate
rial. showing that Che property owners
really do not care. He said that sinee the
action of council on last Tuesday night
the very men who signed the petition for
asphalt, have come to him and told him
that he was all right and that brick was
good enough for -hem.
, A CLEVER TRICK.
** It certainly looks like it. but there is
z really no trick about it. Anybody can try
it who has lame back and weak kidneys,
malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he
can cure himself right away by taking
Electric Bitters. This medicine tones up
the whole systerq. acts as astimulant to
the liver and kidneys, is a blood purifier
and nerve tonic. It cures constipation,
headache, fainting spells, sleeplessness
and melancholy. It is purely vegetable,
a mild laxative, and restores the system to
its natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and
be convinced that tbeyware a miracle
worker. Every bottle guaranteed. Only
50c a bottle at H. J. Lamar & Sons’ drug
store.
PEOPLE ARE IN THE SADDLE.:
We Can Have Financial Reform Now if We
Want It.
• Editor News:—The financial reform we
have fought for and hoped for can be se
i curt 1 if the people of every section of the
, union will unitedly demand it. War is
upon us. As a united and patriotic people
\ w« must bare our breasts to its storms,
i and ”.ith the valor and sacrifice which in
trie past crowned southern manhood with
•?e chaplet of victors anil heroes, we will
, stand by our country with the self-abnega
tion of patriots. Thank God there is no
longer a south, or east or west, but a
union of free Americans. Wht n this pa
triotic .-pirit bums in the breast of every
t patriot we must demand a halt from the
• grasping plutoc racy. Let the demand of
sovereign people from Maine to California
be heard and obeyed. No more bonds. No
more mortgages on the homes of the peo
ple. We will not brave death and disease
on the battlefield and in the camps if a
bond is issued entailing upon us and our
! children more toil to support plutocrats in
■ their mendacity.
Let the gold standard and bond issuing
advocates humbly beseech the throne of
grace for pardon for their iniquity. We
may forget, but not forgive them yet
awhile. But let the people in no uncertain
language ‘demand of president and con
gressmen an issue ofmoney, and not bonds,
i to meet the expenses of the war.
Five hundred millions of paper or sil
i ver (more if necessary) money issued by
i the government with no exceptional
i clauses, will give an impetus to trade and
I industries unknown since IS73 —even in
time of war. Will the people always wear
the shackles placed upon them by the
money power?
W. A. POE.
GOVERNOR ATKINSON AND THE
STATE TROOPS.
Mr. Editor: —If the wise and great
William Yates doesn’t know the law rela
tive to his duty as commander of the state
troops, he should ask the opinion of some
little cross roads “cow lawyer.” It seems
to me that the least of these could inform
him that outside of Georgia, and with the
troops mustered into the Unied States ser
vice, he loses all-authority over them for
the simple reason that they are no longer
state troops. And Governor Atkinson
knows this as well as any one. But it
suits the purpose of this “game cock” to
pose before the public in order that it may
aid him politically. During the late war
there were patriotic governors on both
sides who cared as much for the “dear
boys” as does Governor Atkinson. There
is no record of any one of them seeking to
go from their states as commander-in
chief of state troops. To show how ridicu
lous is this proposition, let one suppose
that the governors of all the states should
decide to go. Wouldn’t our army be well
supplied with commanders-in-chief.” And
where would the poor little major gener
als and brigadiers of the regular army be?
They wouldn’t be in it at all.
At the joint debate between Governor
Atkinson and General Ev>ns at Hawkins
ville, the writer heard Atkinson say that
General Evans was entitled to no special
credit over him for his war record. Be
cause the General had had an opportunity
to fight, and he hadn’t. That had the op
portunity been given him he would doubt
less have fought so gallantly as to have
been left on the field. I would respectfully
• remind the gallant governor that his op
portunity is at hand. I will also remind
him that General Evans didn’t seek to go
to war as “commander-in-chief.” That he
went as a private, and by valor won the
title of commander. The same course is
open to his excellency. Many of the state
companies desire recruits. Now let him
show his love for the “dear boys” by go
ing 'With them and sharing their hardships.
In sporting parlance, Governor Atkinson
should “put up or shut up.”
Veteran.

CONVENTION OF MASONS
Os the 10th MasoniciDistrict Will be Held
Next Week.
On next Thursday, the 28th, there will
be a great gathering of Masons in Au
gusta, for at that time there will be hid
! the regular annual convention of the
Tenth Masonic district of Georgia.
In all, there will be thirty ledges in the
district represented, and beside there will
b- many other visiting Masons. These are
I exr.: eted from both Georgia and South
I Carolina.
At this convention three degrees of an
i cient craft Masonry will be exemplified by
; District Deputy Grand Master William E.
Keener, Master J. W. Hollingsworth, of
i Socle. 1 Lodge, and Master E. S. McCreary,
j of Webb Lodge.
The master degree will be exemplified in
; the day by Deputy Grand Master Keener,
j and the fellow craft degree will be exem
plified by Master Hollingsworth.
At night the entered apprentice degree
will be exemplified by Master McCreary.
The convention last year was held dur
ing MerryMakers’ Week, as it will be this
year. Last year’s convention was produc
tive of great goodfi and was a success in
every way. It is believed that the convea
j tion this year will be an even greater suc-
I cess than was last years’.
The convention will be called to order
at 10 o’clock a. m. on the 2Sth.
TO TAKE IT OVER.
School Census in Some Districts Will be
Gone Over Again.
I It is probable that the school census in
I some of the districts of the’ county will
i be gone over again in a short while, as
■ the Board of Education feels certain that
I a large number of ctfildren were missed
I in some of the districts through the fact
■ that the colored people were afraind of
■ the census enumerators, thinking that
| they were inspectors for the smallpox, or
I vaccinating officers, and they would hide
, their children.
In some of the districts there was a loss
. in the number of elligible sluoql, and the
| board feels certain that there is a gain in
i every district. They had hoped to have
I the census show that itwas necessary to
I have a much larger school appropriation
I for this county, but as the matter stands
now, it would be some smaller, and they
say that it would be almost impossible for
them to get along with the amount they
do now if the attendance at the schools
increase as it has for the oast -two years.
