COLONEL WILEY
FOR COMMANDER
His Friends Are Pushing Him
for Place of Brigadier
General.
TELEGRAM ID BARTLETT.
He Stands a Good Chance, Though
He Has Not Asked for the
Position.
Colonel C. M. Wiley, of the Second
Georgia regiment, is bing pushed by his
friends for the place of brigadier general
in the volunteer troops.
This morning a telegram was sent to
Congressman Charles Bartlett at Wash
ington requesting him to push the nomina
tion of Colonel Wiley for the position of
brigadier general.
Colonel Wiley has not made an applica
tion for the place himself, but would not
retuse the appointment were he to receive
it.
Senator Bacon was conferring with Col
onel Wiley this morning, and of course
will urge the appointment of the gallant
colonel of the Second who has already had
four lon-g years’ experience in actual war.
Colonel Wiley is acknowledged to be a
commander tried and true, and his patri
otic declarations that he would go any
where his country called him ‘ shows a
quality that the army department cannot
fail to appreciate.
MR. BEAUPRIE
Has Severed His Connection With the South
ern—Goes to Atlanta,
Superintendent W. R. (Beuprfe, of the
Southern Railway left this morning for
Atlanta, where he will remain for several
days, and then go to Hot Springs to stay
■a few weeks.
Mr. Beauprie says that he is determined
■now to enjoy a quiet summer and under no
consideration will he go into business be
fore fall. (He stays that he is going to
loaf around, read war news and watch the
baseball games.
'Mr. Beauprie has been in the railroad bus
iness all his life, and ‘has eimassed consid
erable property, which he intends to look
after now and take things easy. During
his stay in 'Macon he has won a host of
friends, who regret to see him go. He says
that he 'has not left Macon for good, but
that he will return here during the sum
mer and see all olf his old friends.
This morning the employes of the
Southern on Superintendent Beauprie’s di
vision assembled at the rounl house and
presented him with a handsome chain
with an emblemitic fob of Mystic Shriners
and Knights Templars.
The presentation was made by Chief
Clerk J. B. Jemison, and he spoke as fol
lows :
Mr. 'Beauprie: You have, sir, no doubt,
in your long experience as a railroad man
often heard this expression used in speak
ing of a superior officer, “I wish I could .
get a chance to tell him what I think of
him.”
The expression is not peculiar to railroad
men, but it is more frequently used by
them than any other one class of em
ployes. It is always harmless, as that
chance seldom comes, and wnen it doe»
the wisher rarely takes advantage of it.
But it serves as a safety valve to let off
some of his surplus ire; he gets cooled off,
goes about his business, and detrmines not
to get ‘‘jacked up” again if he can help it.
But circumstances sometimes altei
cases, and taking courage of the strength
of our numbers, we have resolved here and
now to say to “your face” that which we
have not been afraid to say “behind your
back.”
At your station it has been your duty to
command. It has been our pleasure to
olbey. 'With this day the relation of supe
rior to subordinate ceases, and we stand
before you now as man to man. 'With the
existance of the relations now about to
come to a close, we were debarred the
privilege of ‘talking back,” ever mindful
of the fact that it sometimes costs too
dearly to give a superior even a small
piece of your mind. But our time has
come. The occasion is at hand, and we
do not hesitate to take advantage of it.
We will not leave to other to decide
with what “iwlsdom, justice and modera
tion” you have dealt with us. Our ver
dict is made up, and we stand by it. That
it has been in such measure as to command
the respect, esteem and cordial friendship
o<f every employee on this division, I be
lieve each one here will testify.
In taking leave of you we deside to ex
press to you our sincere appreciation of
the uniform kindness and consideration
that we have at all times received at your
hands, and to assure 'you that when you
shall take upon yourself new duties in
some other sphere of usefulness, you will
carry with you the warm personal friend
ship, the prayers and best wishes of the
Macon division.
As an earnest of this, we ask that you
carry with you the little memento that I
have here. Some of us have been initiated
into the mysteries of the order of which li
is the emblem, others of us know not the
promise it holds out, but all of us most
heartily wish for you every good thing It
represents.
Since there is to be a complete severance
of the relations between us, which, if they
have been of no profit to you, have at least
been a pleasure to us, there can be no
suspicion that we seek advancement at
your hands,
“And crook the pregnant hinges of the
knee
Where thrift may follow fawning.”
I therefore tender it to you, and believe
that I express the sentiment of everyone
of your employees when I state that it is
with the sincerest regret that we bid you
adieu.

CITY HALL WILL
HAVEJO WAIT
No Improvement Will Be
Made on It for the
Present.
THE EXPENSE Os SMALIPQX
Was So Great That Officers Have
Decided It Would Be Best to
Wait Awhile,
The epidemic of smallpox which Macon
has just gone through with will, in all
probability necessitate the postponement
of the execution of the city authorities’
intention to remodel the city hall.
This state of affairs is brought about by
the enormous expense which the city has
been forced to bear in fighting the dis
ease, and the city government does not
feel that any extra expense should be
added to the burden.
The cost of the smallpox to the city
treasury alone was something like SIO,OOO.
To a casual observer this would seem an
unreasonable amount, but nevertheless it
is a fact. There was money for extra
physicians, extra help for the inspectors,
pest house, house of detention, guards for
both houses, food for inmates, medicine,
vaccine points and a hundred little ex
penses that had to be borne.
The cost to the city to fight the disease,
however, was the smallest part of the ex
pense to Macon.
Thousands of dollars damage was done
to business here, and to. remodel the city
hall at the present time it would bo neces
sary to add to the tax percentage, which
the authorities feel would not be consis
tent under the present circumstances. All
of the members of council oppose the im
provements that were proposed on the
hall, and it can be stated as a fact that
they will not be made just now.

Georgia Troops Are Incensed
at Governor Atkinson’s
Course.
POLITICAL METHODS
Applied to the State Militia Causes
Just Resentment Among Geor
gia Companies.
Atlanta, Ga„ April 30. —Today’s Atlanta
Constitution publishes the following with
reference to the feeling among the Geor
gia troops over Governor Atkinson’s pro
posed shake up and reorganization there
of:
The pleasant spirit of harmony which
Governor Atkinson’s proclamation brought
to the military men of the state was rudely
disturbed yesterday by some surprising de
velopments in the military situation.
The announcement in the proclamation
that the state troops would be kept to
gether and under their own officers -where
they joined in sufficient numbers, was
good news to the ’military men, who had
said that they would not volunteer if the
present are not allowed to serve. As a
result of this promise in the proclamation
several military companies over 'the state
determined to come to Atlanta to be mus
tered in as volunteers. It is said that the
Griffin Guards volunteered fifty-eight men
out of sixty-three with the understanding
that the governor’s proclamation was to
be complied with. The governor and the
commanders are reported to have declined
to appoint the officers in the company,
with the exception of the first lieutenant.
This brought on a row which will probably
keep the company out of the service.
The Atlanta Zouaves were to have vol
unteered last night, but the news was
spread that their officers would not be ap
pointed, and this caused members of 'the
company to hold back. Other companies
are reported to have offered themselves,
but when told that their ofificeds could not
'be appointed they withdrew the tender Os
services.
“It simply means that the governor twill
appoint some men as officers who now have
nothing to do with the state militia,” said
one promient military man. “He will ap
point his friends and twill leave out the
captains' and lieutenants who have labored
for years to increase the efficiency of the
state troops. What incentive is left to man
to remain with the state troops and work
to build up the military, when the gover
nor at the time they are needed takes
men who are not in the service and sets
men aside who ‘have had years of expe
riene?”
Several officers gathered at the capitoi
and inquired as to the plan which 'would
be followed as regards the appointment of
officers. They said that they understood
that all companies enlisting in bodies of
over thirty-two men could retain their own
officers if they would recruit their compa
ny up to the legal, standard. They were
told that the governor had a right to re
voke the order accompanying his procla
mation and that the captains were not to
foe "appointed in ay case unless the governor
should see fit.
The military men who are the most in
terested and who are expressing the great
est dissatisfaction, say that a complete list
of captains and lieutenants for both regi
ments has been made out and that the
commanders know exactly who the line
officers will be. The commanders say that
this is not true, and that no selection of
company officers have been made except
in cases already announced. Several of
ficers say that they know who has been
selected and that Atlanta will get no oth
er commissions. They say that the other
captains in Atlanta will be left here, or
will be offered lieutenancies, but that an
effort will be made to take a large number
of the Atlanta troops. There is considera
ble complaint that Atlanta should have
but one of her captains appointed to the
volunteer service.
The advocates of Governor Atkinson’s
plans insist that he wil have the best of
ficers in the entire volunteer army, but
the opponents to the plan urge that they
cannot be good officers when they have no
experience. An effort is beimg made to
harmonize the situation, but this will be
difficult, it is said, unless the officers now
in the state military organizations are ap
pointed to command the troops. In fact,
it is expected that there will foe consider
able difficulty in raising the troops if they
are not given their own officers.
So far no troops have been accepted with
the exception of the Savannah Volunteer
Guards. This battalion has been allowed
to volunteer as a whole, but it is doubtful
if the comapnies composing it retain their
present officers in every instance.
