We’ll sing o'er and o’br the Dixie song,

What is our mission, do you ask me?

When our men, in unequal strife,
Each nobly risked, for state’s rights,, his

With voices strong and loud;

PROPERTY

Enter a Protest and It Gets

As Their Petition Did.

peal.
THil DON'T Lilt II
But Council is Running This Town,
and Whatever It Says
Goes,
At last night's meeting of council there
was presented a petition from property
owners formally and solemnly' protesting
against council's recent action in ordering
Cherry street paved with brick in the face
of a request of 70 per cent of the prop
erty owners on said street asking that it
be'paved with asphalt.
Although this formal protest was pre
sented in good faith, it got the horse laugh
just as the original petition did. Council
simply ordered it filed “for reference.”
Thus have Cherry street .property own
ers been completely ignored, yes, even
laughed at in their serious, earnest attempt
to have the street paved with the material
■which they most prefer.
When the original petition asking that
Cherry be paved with asphalt was presented
to council, it will be remembered that that
very august body kindly rj rrid it to the
street committee—and then proceeded td
order Cherry paved witli brick.
It was against this arbitrary and unjust
proceeding that Cherry street property
owners entered their solemn protest last
night. ,
Following is their protest in full with
the names of the property owners signing
it— nearly all of whom, it must be admit
ted, are capable of thinking for them
selves; quite as capable as any member of
council to decide between the relative
merits of brick and asphalt.
THE PROTEST.
Macon. Ga., April 25th, IS9B.
To the Honorable Mayor and Council of the
City of Macon.
Gentlemen: We, the undersigned prop
erty owners on Cherry street, respectfully
represent to your honorable 'body that we
want said street, from Fourth up, paved
with asphalt, and not with vitrified brick
or granite, and we trust that you will find
it consistent to grant our wishes In this
respect.
We make this request of you after sign
ing the petition for paving said street in
asphalt, in order to renew the expression
of our wishes, with the assurance ’to you
that we have considered the subject fully,
and that we are in favor of this material,
ns against vitrified ’brick or granite, for
paving Cherry street, as above stated.
Respectfully,
The following property owners were at
tached to the peptition above referred to:
M. P. Callaway, receiver, W. H. Ross,
agent. L. Bashinski & Bro., C. B. Wil
lingham, A. B. Small. Claud Estes, Geo. B.
Turpin & Sons. Jos. Dannenberg, T. A.
Cheatham, trustee, Mrs. M. B. Hickey, AV.

sey, S. S. Dunlap, S. Weichselbaum, AV. A.
Doody J. AV. Cabaniss, president, Mrs. Jo
seph Clisby, E. A. Horne, Mrs. J. H. Ivey,
Mrs. S. 11. Pearson.
The property frontage controlled by
these parties representd 1,554 feet 9 inches.
Os the parties who preferred asphalt to
brick or granite, and who had previously
petitioned for asphalt, but who did not
desire to further petition council, repre
sented 352 feet. Os the number who had
petitioned for brick or granite, represent
ed 466 feet.
MR. HORNE’S COMMUNICATION.
The above was accompanied by an inter
esting communication from Hon. Henry
Horne, who represents the successful as
phalt bidder. Mr. Horne’s communication
is as follows:
Honorable Mayor and Council, of the City
of Macon.
Gentlemen: I beg to submit herewith a
map of Cherry street, showing the proper
ty frontage on said street, from Fourth to
First, total frontage of the same being
2,6616 feet, 5 'inches.
Os this frontage, since your meeting of
last Tuesday night adopting a resolution
to pave said, street with brick, property
owners on said street have petitioned,
which petition is herewith presented, to
pave the same with asphalt, said petition
covering a frontage of 1,554 feet, 9 inches.
Os the property owners on said street
who have given petitions to other mate
rial parties to pave said street, petitions
have been signed for brick or granite
amounting to 466 feet.
A frontage of 352 feet 10 inches is con
trolled by property owners who have ex
pressed themselves by other petitions to
your honorable body to pave said street
with asphalt.
Property owners controlling 217 feet 8
inches have been unwilling to sign any
petition to your honorable body for any
kind of material. The total number of
feet in favor of asphalt on said street
amounts to 1.907 feet 7 inches or 70 per
cent, of the total frontage.
We are fully prepared to convince your
honorable body that we have the data to
refute any statement that has or can be
made against the material, and the pave
ment laid by our company, and we should
not be blamed for the faulty construction
o fasphalt pavements by other companies.
Such defective work as they have done
causing, in a measure, prejudice against
asphalt pavements, should not be chargea
ble against us.
AVe are not disposed to belittle the mer
its of other companies, but to defend our
work.
Regretting very much that any newspa
per articles should have been prompted by
this controversy, I desire to assure your
honorable body that I have not been the
aggressor in any of the matters, and have
had nothing to do whatever with editorials
that have appeared in The Evening News,
knew nothing about their publication until
the same were published, and am not re
sponsible for their tenor. I have tried sim
ply to defend the attacks made against
t-otnp.tny, and desiring that this ques
tion be settled, in order that it may be a
a relief to yen, to the property owners,
and to myself, and with this desire, in or
der to show our disposition t® deal fairly
with the city and the property owners. &£
to this question, and as to the merits of
the material that we propose to furnish, if
any contract is made with us, as well as
our ability to carry out any contract that
we make, I will state that I am perfectly
willing to pay rhe expenses of the maypr
the city engineer, of any three other mem- ,
hers of your body to inspect the pavements
laid by our company in Philadelphia, Bal
timore, New York and Savannah.
If after their Investigation in these cities
said parties decide that the pavements laid
MACON NEWS WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 27 1898.
by our company in these cities where the
inspection is made, we will so arrange the
contract that the same may be cancelled
at the option of the city.
Yours truly, Henry Horne.
When Mr. Horne was questioned as to
whether or not be intended to take any
further steps in the matter, he stated that
the petition of the property owners, and
his communication to council fully repre
sented his position, and that he had done
the property owners, who had requested
the property owners, who hod requested
him to do so, and that, having been instru
mental in getting the low bids that were
made both itr asphalt and brick, he only
thought he had done his duty, and that
any further proceedings in the matter,
should there be any, would have to be
taken by the property owners themselves.
He stated that no former petitions to
council ought to be considered in this mat
ter. as the general opinion has been that
both asphalt and brick pavements would
be above the price of granite, but since
the price has been fixed for both of these
materials, property owners have had good
reason for changing their opinions.
And thus the matter stands. Council
simply asumes to think for the whole peo
ple, and will listen neither to petitions nor
protests.
It is putting it mildly to say there is
considerable indignation among Cherry
street property holders and citizens gen
erally over council's arbitrary action.
WHAT "COUNCIL
DID AND DIDN’T
Gave Cherry Street Property
Owners the Merry Ha,
Ha~—lnvited Troops.
At the regular weekly meeting of coun
cil last night Mr. C. D. PearsOn offered a
resolution that council take some action in
regard to offering inducements to the gov
ernment for the mobilizing of some of the
United Slates troops at-Macon. It his been
found that Chickamauga is not without its
defects, and as Macon is a. central point,
and more accessible than Chickamauga,
and closer to the coast than Atlanta, the
idea- is that the government will look fa
vorably upon Macon as a mobilizing point.
The mobilizing of troops here would
mean much for Macon, as lots of money
would -be spent here in supplies, and prep
arations for the cainps. Following is the
resolution offered by Alderman Pearson:
Whereas, In the massing of the troops
of Georgia and contiguous states, the
United States government will require a
healthful, central and accessible point;
and
Whereas, The city of- Macon posseses
every possible advantage for such a point
of rendezvous and distribution, enjoying
a mild climate and a healthfulness unsur
passed, a position geographically in the
center of the. state, accessible from all di
rections by direct lines from adjacent
states, and the local point of eleven first
class railroads, two of which lead into
Florida, one byway of Jacksonville and
the other byway of Palatka, and all pos
sessing within her limits ample and de
sirable grounds for such assembling of
troops; be it, therefore
Resolved, That the city of Macon,
through its distinguished representatives
Senator A. O! Bacon and Congressman
Charles L. Bartlett, hereby tenders to the
United States government the free use of
such portions*of Central City nark. Tatt
nall Square park, or of the city reserve as
may be desired by the said government for
■the mobilization of its troops.
Resolved further, That the clerk of this
council furnish Hon. A. O. Bacon and Hon.
Charles L. Bartlett with a copy 7 of these
resolutions, with the request that they
present the same to the war department
and urge he acceptance of thd tender here
in made.
A copy of the resolutions will be for
warded to Senator Bacon and Congressman
Bartlett at once, and they will make the
proper request upon the war department.
Everyone present was in a state of ex
pectancy when the communication from
Mr. Henry Horne, on the paving question,
was announced. It was understood that
there would be some warm qomm-uinca
tions presented at the meeting in view of
the fact that council has over-rided the
wishes of the property owners on Cherry
street, and everywhere else for that mat
ter, as to the kind of material that will be
used for paving.
The communication which Mr. Horne
read can but appeal to every fair-minded
citizen of Macon. It was signed by 70 per
cent of the property owners of Cherry
street.
Mr. Horne was*seen by a News repre
sentative this morning, and he said that
he had nothing further to say on the ques
tion, and that the comunication spoke for
itself.' The people of the city- could see
who were the men who signed it and judge
for themselves as to its merits.
The petition of citizens owning property
on Second street asking that the sidewalks
be put next to the curb line instead of
next to the property was referred to the
street committee.
The request of the liquor dealers asking
that they be given until the first of July
to make their payment of the liquor license
of $125 was granted.
Petition of J. F. Crutchfield for pay for
server was refused.
The resolution offered by a merman
Damour that Messrs. S. R. Jaques and J.
W. Cabaniss’ places on the board of arbi
tration to adjust the differences between
Contractor Noble, of the sewerage of the
city, they having resigned, he filled by
Messrs. L. S. Worsham and L. R. Wright
was passed.
Aiderman Huthnance offered a resolu
tion asking council to rescind their action
on the paving matter on Cherry- street. He
said that he no interest, in the matter
further than to see he property- owners on
Cherry stree get what the majority of them
wanted.
Aiderman Taylor seconded the resolu
tion. Alderman Pearson raised the point
that the resolution was out of order as the
minutes of the previous meeting had been
read and approved. Mayor Price sustained
Aiderman Pearson’s point, and the resolu
tion was laid on the table.. Aiderman
Huthnance said that he wanted to go on
record as opposing the action of council in
this matter.
Aiderman W-insihip offered a resolution
that all councilmen who wanted to go to
war be allowed .full pay while they were
away. Aiderman Goodwyn offered an
amendment that the city clerk be includ
ed. Aiderman Morgan amended so that
the may-or could go. The resolution was
adopted.

MERCER WON
FROM ATHENS.
The Greatest Game of Ball i
Seen in Macon in
Years.
Yesterday afternoon nearly two thousand
people saw the red and black of the
University of Georgia pulled down from its
proud place in the athletic Held and the
yellow and black of Mereer»University take
its place. Tip 1 game of ball in which the
two teams fought so hard for victory, was
one of the most exciting that has ever
been seen on the diamond here.
When Umpire O'Connell called play ball
and Jim Mansfield sent the first ball whiz
zing across the plate, the excitement was
intense and throughout the game it did not
abate. There were people there from all
over the state. People who were anxious
to see the struggle for mastery. Both the
teams went into the game with the deter
mination to win. though the Georgia boys
claimed, as usual, that they were badly
crippled. But during the game none of
them gave evidence of this.
•Os course the yellow and black .predomi
nated in the color, but there were many
who wore the red and black, and there
■was no lack of encouragement for the
Georgia boys. There was not a dull minute
dining the entire game, though Curtis,
who was in the box for Athens, delayed
the game every stage, and to him is
chargeable the fact that it was called in
the sixth inning on account of darkness..
Ip the first inning Athens get a splen
did start and made three runs, which set
the Athens contingent wild. Thera was a
high wind, which prevented the Adders
for Mercer getting two long drives ’o cen
ter and Mansfield was rapped pretty
lively, but settled down in the second.
Mercer did not succeed in scoring in her
half of the first. Athens crossed the plate
five time before Mercer scored her fir it.
run. In • the third inning Copeland, for
Mercer, came in, and then the fireworks
commenced. Garret was substituted in the
box, as Mansfield was suffering too much
with his arm, which he protested at the
first part of the game was giving him
trouble. Garrett had the Athens boys all
guessing, and after he went in th? box
they only succeeded in scoring one more
run. Meanwhile 'Mercer’s score began to
climb up. The wearejs of the T>la.:k and
yellow began to get on to Curtis and
rapped him right and left. Athens began
to kick on everything. They saw that rhe
tide of battle was changing, and resorted
to all kinds of tricks to win out. The
game was delayed. One of their resorts
was practiced when Acree sent a ball
whizzing pver the left field fence. He
started arpund the basis fpr a home run,
but Umpire O'Connell caillefi a foul and he
was ordered back to the bat. He started
back to the bat -without retftuch'ng the
bases he had passed. By sojne means
Athens got hold of the ball that was not
in play and touched him and eJaime] him
cut. but fortunately at this time somecne
threw the ball that had beep knocked over
the fence back into the grounds, and the
■subterfuge of the Athene boys faijco.
Acre went back to the bat and lined out
two bags.
At the end of the sixth inning Mercer
was leginning to show her metal and
when the proud banner of the University
was waved aloft and amid mighty cheers
they took fresh courage and scored four
times, making the score stand seven to
six, with Athens on the small side.
At the end of the sixth it was so dark
that one could hardly see the ball, and
Umpire O’Connell called the game. The
Athens boys kicked again, but the crowd
was with the umpire.
The work of Garrett and Jones for Mer
cer deserves special mention. Garrett was
badly hurt in the third inning, but con
tinued in the game and pitched a phenom
enal game.

WAR! WAR!! WAR!!!
Is now the cry, and many thousands of Uncle Sam’s brave
soldier boys will face the Spanish in battle in honor of their
country. There will be warm times from uow on, and from
uow on Josephson's Enterprise will wage war against high
prices. Keep your eye on this store for bargains; we bought
too many goods, and if low price is any object they will
move off at a rapid rate. The stock must be reduced and
we are aware of the fact that it takes low prices to do it.
Commencing from tomorrow you can expect great things
from this uew up-to-date store. Remember the place
