6 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.

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. C^-S» r JD OBLXA..

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.
