Macon Soldiers Will Keep Step to the Tone of "The Girl
I Left Behind Me,"
ON 10 GRIFFIN,
Where they Will Start Their
Preliminary Work Before
Going tolthe Front.
RUSHING THE EXAMINATION,
In All the Companies So as to Get
Ready for the March Floyd
Rifles Weil Supplied.]
It is more than probable that the Macon
troops will be ma, re,| to Griffin tomorrow
morning.
Major O. T. Kenan, commanding the
battalion, made this statement today to a
News r< porter and while he did give it as
an official idatcment this is in ,UI prob
abilty the course that will be followed.
This does not of court,,' include the Ma
con Volunteers, wno do not (belong to the

'l'he examination for ti ansporlation of
the Hussars was completed this morning
and Or. Little nt once ,omm< need work on

\\ uh the exception < i the examination
the imu are all ready to go to tine trout,
though tiny believe they wdl be quartered
al Limin lor some' time fit-fore they will
'be culled to go to Cuba.
An opinion exists both among the offi
ceiu and men that it is hardly probable
Ida. tin volunteer troops will gel to Cuba,
but they realize the necessity of being
ready in ease oi an <im igciiey, and that
jthey should Imj mobilized and ready >

jo'll gelling aid lit. men together and prop
erly drilleu, tor at least .nut of them have
"-i I, 111,11, d a ,1111 before. Soim do not
i \en know how to keep step, and learning
tie in all the lint r points of drilling will
ibe a a tedious task.
fd'ne officers cannot hope to get the men
to any degree ol cltieiency in drilling be
fore tiny are carried to camps, lor their
whole time now is taken up in arranging
to get the men off, and making preparu
t'om. for tin l enlistments.
When the turn are carried to camps, tihe
gieen squads will be put in charge of .the
older and better drilled members of the
companies and .put through the marching
and drilling movements. Some of the cap
itals have already adopted the idea of
having the men marched around the
streets in charge of a corporal to learn
them the stop and order of .march.
There are enough of the well drilled
men in the companies to balance the whole
company and keep it togc ther until all
of the men are drilled. All day yesterday
and today the officers were in conference
with the passenger men, and though they
M il' not give out any info.- nation It is be
lieved that everything is being gotten in
readiness for the troops to move Monday.
It is sate to say that when the Macon
volunteers are called out that they will be
given a send off that will not be surpassed
by any city in the South. The whole town
will turn out to bld the men farewell,
sweethearts will go down to see sweet
hearts off, .mothers to see their sons start
for the front and bid them God speed, it

wil be a crowd that can but make the
men proud that they are Americans, and
give them assurances that their patriotism
is appreciated.
Card's band will be back in time to es
cort the boys to the depot, and when they
line up in battalion formation there will be
as fine a set of men as ever handled guns.
Major Kenan says that he is .proud of nis
men, and that be will not be ashamed to
put them against any of the wealthy Ra
tional guards that have volunteered.
The captains of the companies will post
the nec.gsary orders telling the men what
they are expected to carry, and how they
ar, expected to prepare. Everything is
bi -ing conducted now on a strictly military
•basis, and the line between officers and
privates has been tightly drawn, as the
officers realize tha this is necessary for
perfect discipline, especially where th?
men are known to them and are personal
friends.
Th< .inifuims that the companies now
have will be worn away from .Macon, ar d
when they arrive at Griffin the change
will he made and the uniforms now worn
will probably be sent back home, though
soma believe that wherever possible the
government will use the fatigue uniforms
now in service.
VOLUNTEERS READY.

Macon’s crack company, the Volunteers,
have enrolled the required number, thirty

WHOOPING COUGH.
I had a little boy who was nearly dead
from an atack of whooping cough. My
neighbors recommended Chamberlain's

an improvement, and one bottle cured him
entirely. It is the best cough medicine I
ever had in the house. —J. s. Moore, South

COMMITTEE
Os Bibb County, Met This
Morning to Take Action
on Primary Rules.
REPORT NEXT MONDAY.
And Will Then Know Whether to
Follow the State Committee
or Go It Alone.
The Democratic executive committee of

tion was introduced by Mr. S.hA. Crump:
Resolved, That a committee of three be
appointed for the puiiKise of drafting
rules and regulations of delegates to the
state convention and report back to this
committee for its approval on Monday
evening at 6 p. m. at the court house.”
The resolution was put and passed unan
imously anid without any discussion. The
committee without further action adjourn
ed.

their own to govern the selection of the
delegates.
None of the committee will discuss the
matter. They say that it is proposed to
let the committee speak for itself.

WHEN ORDER TO
MARCH COMES
It is an Inspiring Sight to See
the Boys Get Ready
for the Fray.
In Carrp Tampa, Fla., May 7. —Tbe pre
liminary work incident to the departure
of an army, no matter what service may
be required in the field, is one of hustle,
bustle and tussle.
The soldiers hustle to get things all
straightened out; they bustle about to look
for mislaid articles, and they tussle with
tent ropes and with packing straps.
An army in camp expects to move at any
time. but, notwithstanding this, there is a
steady accumulation of surplus articles to
be disposed of.
When the troops were sent here they
knew that it was merely a place of rendez
vous, and they all took with them many
articles that would add to their comfort
during their stay.
For instance, they all had the cone wall
tents, a delightful shelter. This is not a
regulation field tent, and this, with many
other things, is packed away when the or
der comes to move.
Al such goods are snugly tucked in big
packages and sent back to the post from
whence they came. All the soldier takes
with him is his gun, his ammunition and
his little “pup” of dog tents, as the boys
in blue call them.
All the officers gather about the head
quarters tent and await orders. The first
thing the soldier does is to fill his cartridge
belt.
'Many of the lads have been stripped of
the buttons on their coats by charming
ladies, who keep them as souvenirs of the
brave boys’ stay in their land.
And the soldier boys did not refuse,
either, for the American soldier is gallant
and an admirer of the fair sex.
I have been a sufferer from chronic diar
rhoea ever since the war and have used
all kinds of medicines for it. At last I
found one remedy that has ’been a success
as a cure, and that is Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.—<P. E.

SAMPSON’S FLFET
Will Seize the Island of Porto
Rico and Protect the
Oregon.
Washington, May 7.—Sampson’s fleet is
steaming toward Porto Rico for the pur
pose of seizing that island, giving battle
to the Spanish sqadron, which is expected
to arrive there in five days, and to protect
the Oregon and 'Marietta in case these ves
sels, now sailing northward from R'io de
Janeiro are assailed by an overwhelming
force.
The navy department does not believe
that the Cape Verde fleet has returned to
Cadiz or any other port in the Eastern
hemisphere. The vessels which are report
ed to have arrived’at Cadiz, are believed
to be the ones that isailed from Cape St.
Vincent in a northerly direction, when the
Spanish warships sailed from that point
in a westerly direction. The squadron go
ing in a northernly direction consisted
chiefly of transports, and did not ‘include
any fighting vessels of strength. The de
partment is convinced, as a result of the
report of the spy ship, which followed the
squadron for thirty-six hours in a west
ernly direction, that Porto ’Rico is this
squadron’s objective point. It has not been
heard of since it left the Cape Verde is
land. Tao n'avy lepartment 3 confident
tea. had it or any of its vessels to iciu-l at
any point our confidential agents would
have communicated the fact to the de
partment. One of the highest naval offi
cials said tonight:
“All of the recent instructions to
Sampson’s fleet, and to the navy general
ly, have been based on the presumption
that the Cape Verde fleet is mow ng west. ’

DEATH'S GAME
HAS STERN RULES
Civilized Nations Cannot Take
Lives, Even in War,
Without Bound
UIIEt HUMIIIIK EDICT.
Certain Measures Dictated, Which
Must Be Recognized, But the
Spy is Doomed.
Every day develops new questions about
the rules of war. It is very important to
get an accurate understanding of the reg
ulations.
Following are the rules relieved of all
exeeess phraseology:
War is not lawless.
- It is lawful to starve the hostile belli
gerents, armed or unarmed.
Commanders, whenever admissible, in
form the enemy of their intention to bom
bard a place, so that the non-eomibatants,
especially women and children, may be
removed before the bombardment shall
commence.
Retaliation is the sternest .feature of
war. A reckless enemy often leaves to his
opponent no other means of securing him
self against the repetition of* 'barbarous
outrage.
An unjust and inconsiderable retaliation
reduces both belligerents to the plans of
savages.
The victorious army appropriates all
public money, public movable property
and sequesters it for its own 'benefit, ami
all the revenue of real property belonging
to the hostile nation.
As a general rule, churches, hospitals,
schools and charitable institutions are not
considered ipulblic property.
Private property, unless forfeited by
crimes, can be seized only toy way of mil
itary necessity.
All wanton violence committed against
persons of the invaded country, all de
struction of property, unless authorized
by the commanding officer; all robbery,
all pillage or sacking, even after taking
a place by main force, all criminal assault,
wounding, maiming or killing of such in
habitants are prohibited under the penalty
of death, or such severe punishment as
may seem adequate for the gravity of the
offense.
A soldier, officer or private, in the act
of committing such violence,, and disobey
ing a superior ordering him to abstain
from it, may be lawfully killed on the
spot by such superior.
Chaplains, surgeons, apothecaries, hos
pital nurses and servants are not prison
ers of war,, unless the commander has rea
son to retain them.
A prisoner of war is subject to no pun
ishment for being a public enemy, nor is
any revenge wreaked upon him by the in
tentional infliction of any suffering or dis
grace, by cruel imprisonment, want of
food, mutiliation, death, or any other bar
barity.
Prisoners of war are subject to confine
ment or imprisonment such as may be
deemed necessary on account of safety.
They may be required to work for the
benefit of their captor’s government, ac
cording to their rank and condition.
Whoever intentionally inflicts additional
wounds on an enemy already disabled, or
kills such an enemy, or who orders and en
courages soldiers to do so, shall suffer
death.
Scouts or single soldiers, if disguised in
j the dress of the country’,or in the uniform
of an army hostile to their own, employed
in obtaining information, if found within
or lurking about the lines of the captor,
are treated as spies, and suffer death.
Armed prowlers, by whatever names they
may be called, are not entitled to tbo pri
vileges of the prisoner of war.
A spy is a person who secretly, in dis
guise or under false pretenses, seeks in
formation with the intention of communi
cating it to the enemy. The spy is .pun
ishable with death by hanging by the neck,
whether or not he succeeds in obtaining
the information.
The bearer of a flag of truce cannot in
sist upon being admitted. iHe must always
be admitted with great caution.
It is customary to designate by certain
flags, usually yellow. the hospitals in
places which are shelled, so that the be
seiging army may avoid firing on them.
In the matter of naval warfare the laws
of war are not so clearly defined. There
are no noncombatants in naval warfare.
The main issue is that of privateering.
This has already been fully defined in The
News. The United States is opposed to the
practice. Spain has declared that until
she make up her mind to resume her pri
vateering, as of old, she will treat priva
teers as pirates.
Pirates are outlaws, and must be hanged
from the yard arm as soon as captured.

A GREAT VICTORY WAS WON
By science when it solved the problem of how to overcome functional as well as
structural defects of the eye by the proper adjustment of glasses.
A still greater victory will be wou by m ankind when they learn that glasses fitted
by themselves or by one who has not a thorough knowledge cf optometry, arc re
sponsible for eyes impaired beyoil redres s and in a great many cases for bliudm-rs
Itself.
Mr. Friedman, the optical specialist, has been located with us close on to eighteen
months, and has by his efficient work, earned the reputation of being second to
none in diagnosing and successfully corre eting errors of refraction.
Mr. Friedman has fitted glasses to bun dreds of persons in this city, but has yet to
find anyone who is not perfectly satisfied with the weak done by him. dlls motto
is: “Satisfaction guaranteed or money ref unded.
