he was Ho combat with, had met the enemy

been used to commemorate a hundred poli

to voice tn thundering petals 'the enthu
siasm of the people of .Macon.
The bugle calls a.lso played an important
part in the celebration that took place in
Macon. The first shot from the cannon
caused people who bad retired to start up
from their beds, and when the second and
third dame, and the bugle sounded every
one believed that the Macon companies
had lieen ordered out. and in a few mis
ntes tile streets were crowded witli people.
Late .iiilo the night they Hocked around
bulletin boards and watched, for the latest

Interest is not abated today, and all day

scene of the conflict.
Now is the time for the people of Macon
■to put up their colors and the patriotism

CONFEDERATE BATTLE ELAG.
Macon Enjoys Distinction in the Great Naval
Battle-
I
Mr. Ed Irvine has run up the Confeder
ate battleflag on his flag pole. It is joined
to the United States colors. This combi
nation is particularly appropriate to cele
brate the great naval conflict, as a South
ern boy numbers among the heroes of the
victory in the parson of the son of Mr. 11.
C. Tindall, who is aboard the battleship
Haltimore.
It is also reported that another Macon
boy was in the fight. Mr. Callaway.
While the flag decorations in Macon have
not been so extensive the city has certain
ly exhibited more wide-awake enterprise
than any city South on that line. Not
only lias it led ithe Union of United
States and Southern and Cuban flags but
St has displayed the United States
naval signal flags, which read “Remember
the Maine;" the signal which was run up
for the fleet when tihey opened fire on the
Spaniards.

CANING FOR
JUDGE SPEER
1
He Was Presented With a
Souvenir Made from Gen.
Grant’s Work Bench.
INCIDENT OF HIS TRIP,
All of the Party Had a Most De
lightful Time—What the
Gazette Says.
Judge Emory Speer and family have re
| turned from Galena, 111., where the judge
delivered the oration on Grant’s birthday.
He was accompanied by Mr. Marion
Erwin and 'Mrs. Erwin, Mr. Proudfit and
Mrs. Proudfit. Mr. ami Mrs. Erwin have
remained in Chicago for some tiune. The
members of the party report having had a
very delightful visit and reception. The
, occasion was 'the most notable in the his-
The Galena Gazette of Thursday evening
j kist says: 1
“An interesting little scene was enacted
in the private car of Judge Speer yesteiday
evening shortly 'before the fine special
pulled away from Chicago wiht its distin
guished load. In the presence of Mrs. Sar
toris and daughter, Mrs. Speer and daugh
ters, Mr. Hl. 'll. Ko'hlsaat and a few others
of the noted visitors, the orator of the day
was presented with a cane made from Gen
eral Grant’s work bench, and probably the
last of these canes to be li id, as those
which were made from that famous article
I of 'furniture are in possession of admi
rers of the hero in various parts of the
country, and are not to be obtained there
from under any conditions. The gift in
j question was from the Gazette and its
| employes, l i;<i the presentation wis made
| in a few words by the president of the
| company, to which Judge Speer responded,
| expressing his deep appreciation of the val
uable souvenir of his visit to the historic
city, and repeating his acknowledgement
of tin' many courtesies received at the
hands of the press and people of Galena.
The cane which Judge Speer carries
away to his Southern home was originally
the property of Mr. J. B. Brown, a former
president of the Grant Girthday Associa
tion and for thirty-three years the editor
and proprietor of this paper. Its presen
tation to the eloquent orator was t'he hap
py idea of one of Galena’s honored sons,
who though engrossed 'with important du
ties in connection with the publication of
Chicago’s biggest daily, always finds time
to do for the city of his childhood those
generous things which have made ais name
■a household words in every home in old
Galena.
The address of Judge Speer on Wednes
day afternoon far exceeded in force and
splendor the most sanguine antic nations of
his auditors. His fame as an orator had
preceded him and the expectations of the
Galena public had been raised to the very
highest pitch. Those who had the pleasure
ot meeting the gentleman were greatly
imprisred iwith the high plane of his
thoughts, the broadness of his views and
the cordiality of his manner, and the hope
was expressed on all sides that future cel
ebrations might claim his as a participant.

VOLUNTEERS
FEELSUGHTED.
The Action of the Governor
in Selecting a Captain
Stirs Them Uo.
HUNTER HAS REFUSED
To Accept the First Lieutenancy of
the Floyd Riflles—Busy Mak
ing Preparations.
The IMacon Volunteers do not take kind
ly to the apparent slight that was put upon
them in the selection of the captains from
the Second regoment to go to the front.
The matter is the sensation of the hour
in civil as well as military circles and
since the appointments were made known,
has been canvassed very freely on every
side. The members of the company feel
that they have been slighted and they re
sent it. The blame is put upon Governor
Atkinson and Major Kenan in abbut equal
parts.
The Macon volunteers say that a large
number of the company would have gone
if their captain had been appointed, and
htat as one of the oldest and strongest
companies in the state they should have
had a chance to go and their captain was
entitled to. more consideration than the
commanding officer of the youngest com
pany in the city, and the youngest captain,
both of whom were given commissions.
'Major Kenan declines to say how the
thing came about except that he says that
the governor did not take any action so
far as the names were concerned and that
he (Kenan) has done the very 'best he
could. 'He was anxious for the appoint
ment of Captain Hunter and would have
been glad to have seen the appointment
made. As a matter of fact Captain Hun
ter’s name did go in with the others, but
the reasons why the appointment was not
made could not be given out Iby Major Ke
nan.
The statement comes from a very good
source, however, and the truth of the mat
ter is that Governor Atkinson had some
thing to do with it. It would seem that
Captain IHunter’s name went in with the
other three who were subsequently ap
pointed. It is said that the governor ob
jected to the appointment of four captains
from Macon and insisted that other cap
tains from the Second regiment outside of
Macon be given a chance to go to the
front. Under this the offer was made to
all of the other captains and two of them
—one in Columbus and the other in 'Perry
accepted. The Columbus captain, however,
agrees to take the first lieutenancy under
Captain W. C. Davis, of the Perry Rifles,
and so left three captains to be selected.
Under this the governor appointed the
three captains from Macon and left out
Captain Sami Hunter, of the Volunteers.
It is a fact, however, that Captain Hun
ter iwas offered the first lieutenancy of the
Floyd Rifles, but, standing in line with
his company, he declines. This offer to
Captain Hunter of the First .Lieutenancy
of another company did not relieve the
slight that has been put upon the Volun
teers, and the boys are about as mad as
any set of wet hens that have been seen
for some time.
'All sorts of reasons are given for the
governor’s action in the matter, and it is
very generally conceded that the chief ex
ecutive has had it in for the Volunteers
since they declined to go to Atlanta on
governor’s day, and that is the way he has
of getting even. At any rate the wagon
boy of 'Coweta who is aspiring to be a
brigadier general, has succeeded in incur
ring the ill will of the members oif one of
the best companies of the state.
It must be borne in mind that Captain
Hunter offered his services and that had
he been accepted there is no question but
that the necessary quota of men would
have readily followed him.
The work of enlisting the men had been
going on rapidly’ today 'and it is now a
certainty that all of the companies whose
captains have been appointed will go out
of .Macon in good shape so far as their
strength is concerned.
Major Kenan is in the city at work with
the captains of his battalion and says he
will have a battalion second to none and
that there will be no finer set of men
among the volunteers than those who
march out of Macon under his command.
Major Kenan ! h(as received instructions
to go to Atlanta tbniorrow. He will leave
tomorrow morning.
When asked by’ a News reporter as to
the chances for the mobilization of one of
the regiments in Macon (Major Kenan said
that he was unable to say anything on this
subject and that Ithe information must
come from Atlanta.
Captain lllunter was also seen by a News
reporer this morning and when asked if
he would accept the appointment of first
lieutenant of ithe Floyd Rifles he said:
“No. sir, I will not. But I have nothing
further to say on the subject.”
AHI of the armories are busy scenes this
morning.

will be the first regiment of volunteers.

WAR ON SUNDAY,
Pastors of Macon Churches
Talk to Their Congrega
tions on the Subject.
BULLETINS IN PULPIT.
News of the Victory at Manilla Was
Read Out by Dr. Pinson at
Mulberry Street.
At Mulberry Street Methodist church
last night Rev. W ,W .Pinson preached a
sermon to the soldiers of Macon, and a
large congregation assembled at 'the
church.
Dr. Pinson made some most interesting
statements of statistics of wars, and said
that while it was not the duty of the peo
ple to criticise the action of the congress
of the United States in making war upon
the Spaniards, but that if war was declar
ed out of a spirit of revenge that every
Spaniard that was killed was murdered.
But on the other hand if war was declared
out of a brotherly love for the Cubans and
humanity 'that the cause was most right
eous one, and that t'he side of the right
would triumph.
Dr. Pinson spoke of the duties of the
soldiers, and evidenced opposition to war
on general principles.
At the opening of the service 'the whole
congregation joined in singing “My Coun
try, ’Tis of Thee.” When the congrega
tion had been dismissed Dr. Pinson asked
them to be seated a minute and read a
bulletin announcing the American victory
at Manila. Some of the congregation
could not restrain their feelings and clap
ped their hands, while some one in t'he
back of the church said “Praise Cod from
whom all Blessings Flow’.”
AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
A large crowd assembled at the First
Baptist church to hear Dr. White on
“iAmerican Victory and What it Will
Mean.” Dr. White said that he felt that
America would win in the struggle for
humanity’s sake, and that the cause was a
just one. A victory for the Americans
meant that brotherly love was above dol
lars and cents, and that Americans had
not forgotten their love of humanity.
He predicted that the first victory would
be the Americans, and soon as he finished
his sermon he received a bulletin an
nouncing the victory of the American tleetj
at Manila and read it aloud to the con
gregation.
AT Y. IM. C. A.
At the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion yesterday afteriroon, Dr. W. A. Nel
son, the imminent Baptist evangelist,
made an interesting talk on “The Good
Soldier.”
Dr. Nelson said that he believed the
cause of the United States was a just one
and that we have more reason for the war
now than we did for the civil or the revo
lutionary war. We fought" for principle
then and we are fighting for humanity’s
sake now. He said 'that he believd that
war should have been declared two years
ago. He defined the duty of the good sol
dier and compared him to the soldier of
Christ.
A large crow’d of listeners heard" Dr.
Nelson and all were deeply impressed with
W’hat he said.
WHOOPING COUGH.
I had a little boy who was nearly dead
from an atack of whooping cough. My
neighbors recommended Chanilbeflain’s
Cough Remedy. I did not think that, any
medicine would help him, but after giving
him a few doses of that medicine I noticed
an improvement, and one bottle cured him
entirely. It is the best cough medicine I
ever had in the house. —J. s. Moore, South
