Miss Minnie Quinn, of Atlanta. has com
piled a hook of readings and reflations
lor use m schools and entertainments. The
Is.ok is pi ineip.illy a collection of poems
by Southern writers .and when I looked
through its pages the first thought was.
“This is the 'book par excellence to place
In the hands of Southern children, for the
authors r. pi 1 ent. <1 are Southerners. But
it certainly seems to me that the book is j
ruined for our use, when toward the end, I
.Miss Minnie Quinn gives as one of.her se
lect recitations, an “Extract from speech
of Senator Thurston in the United Stares
Congress,” There is small reason to doubt
that Senator Thurston's speech, or prim
arily the tragic circumstance 'Which in
spired and induced his speech, had a share
in ipr. cipiilating the war that is now upon
us, and when he stood before the United
States Congress, and began "'Mr. Presi
dent: I am here by comtmand of siletnlt lips
to speak on. e for ill upon the Cuban agi
tation "our ivinpathies were all with
him. 'However, Miss Quinn in her extract
from Senator Thurston's speech quotes the
. most objectionable portion the climax
that ruined the speech for me. but which
Miss Quinn has seen tit to copy and to in
clude in the pages of her compilation.
"Force saved the Union, kept the stars
in 'the liag. made ‘niggers' men. The time
for God's force has come again. Let tin*
impassioned Ups of American patriots
once more take up the song:
“In the beauties of the lilies,
Christ was born across the sea,
With a dory in His bosom
That transfigured .you and me.
.As He died do make man holy,
iLt t us die to make men free.
For God Is marching on.”
This hook of Mis Quinn's may sell, but
unquestionably it would have been more
appreoiat. I bore if Senator Thurston’s
speech had b< on left out. There is, to say
the b ast of it, some degree of incongruity
in obtruding such sentiments (?) in the
United States senate, and in expecting the
Sotjlhern droops to eo-operate With those
of the North in attack and in defense.

Macon Volunteers Marched
Out this Morning With
Full Company.

And Were Greeted With the Great
est Enthusiasm as They Left
the Depot for Griffin.
■
The marching out of the Macon Volun-
I teers was made the crowning event of the
I military excitement of the last few weeks.
I There wa.s more genuine enthusiasm
I shown in Macon this morning than has
yet been seen and the Macon Volunteers
were given a send-off that has not been
equaled at any time in the military his
tory of the city.
The Volunteers left their armory shortly
after 7 o'clock and marched to the South
ern depot.
All along the route they were greeted
with the greatest Enthusiasm, and thou
sands of people gathered at the depot to
hid them farewell. Two coaches had been
at:ached to the regular train, which pulled
out about five minutes late. The storm of
cheers, the waving of handkerchiefs and
the flittering of flags lasted until the train
had disapeared around the bend and the
last notes of the bugle call sounded by"
Trumpeter Billingslea died away.
Captain Sam B. Hunter, Lieutenant
Connor and Private Wiley will remain be
hind for a day or two perhaps in order to
finish up the recruitng which the company
will be allowed to do for the next two days.
Lieutenant Sidney Wiley, who resigned
as lieutenant of the Floyd Rifles, yesterday
joined the Volunteers as a private and
the company will have no better or more
enthusiastic soldier.
Private James H. Blount, Jr., also went
out a as new recruit with the company,
and with Private Robert Hodges, will rep
resent the Macon bar at the front.
The old members of the company who
are in the city escorted the boys to the
depot. Among them were Messrs. W. W.

The iMacon ARilunteers will make one of
the companies of the Second Battalion of
the First Georgia regiment of United
States When the first battal
ion was organized and included Ithe iMa
<on Companies Captain Hunter was not
offered one of the companies. He iw-as,
however., offered the fiist lieutenancy of the
Floyd R ties, but this he promptly refus
ed, taking the petition that the neglect of
his company and the failure to recognize
them as an organization, was a slight to
the company and that he could not con
sistently accept any other commission in
another company. Tn this he was upheld
by the members of the company, and when
the call was made for volunteers his com
pany refused to have anything to do with
it.
The Macon Volunteers is one of the old
est companies in the state, .and has more
honors on its colors than any other com
pany in the state. As it stands at present
it is the strongest, numerically, of any
of the companies.
When Major Wooten was organizing his
battalion he was prompt to see that it
would he a big thing for him if he could
secure the Macon Volunteers, and he of
fered Captain Hunter a place as captain
provided he could make up seventy-five
men in forty-eight hours.
Captain Hunter very promptly accepted
and the members of the company rallied
to him like men. The result was that in
side of the time limit Captain 'Hunter an
nounced ready and today he went out with
over that required number and has two
more days in which to recruit here.
Old members of the Volunteers came in
from every direction, and when the com
pany formed on parade this morning it
was as fine a body of men as could be
found in the South. It is safe to say that
they will be the pride of the First regi
ment of Georgia Volunteers.
The banquet given by the citizens of Ma
con last night to the Macon Volunteers
was agrand tribute to the company. The
order -to march ad been received so sud
denly that there was not much time for
preparation, but Caterer Binswanger was
equal tef the occasion and had an excellent
! spread ready for the boys and fheir invi
ted guests. . ,
Colonel C. AL Wiley acterd as toast
master. He was attended by his whole
staff, and as the guests included a large
number of ladies, the tables, which were
beautifully decorated, presented a most at
tractive apearance.
The speakers of the evening were Ad
jutant Ross, of the Second regiment; Rev.
F. F. Reese, the chaplain of the regiment; ”
Mr. Washington Dessau, Mr. Roland Ellis,
Mr. Minter Wimberly. Captain Sam B.
Hunter. iMaior J. L. Hardeman and Colo
nel R. A. Nisbet.
Tn the course of the speeches the battles
of the A’olunteers were told again by those
;wbo had fought beside them in the sixties,
and the roll of honor was called. Chaplain
Reese gave the young soldiers sound ad
vice. It would be hard to say which was
the speech of the evening. Each one was
i received with enthusiasm, but none more
than that of Colonel R. A. Nisbet, the last
speaker, wbo was sending three sons to
the front with Ithe A’olunteers.
The banquet, the speeches and the en
thusiasm was a great tribute to the Vol
unteers.
After the banquet an informal dance was
given and kept up until as late as Captain
Hunter thought it advisable to allow his
men to stay up. considering the fact that
they bad to make an early start for
Griffin this morning.

rhoea ever since the war and have used

MACON NEWS TUESDAY EVENING, MAY io itsgo
SOMETHING WRONG.
Governor of the State Should Have Recog- |
nized the Regular Military.
A AVashington special says: Os course
it is true that under the call for volun
teers memtbers of the militia companies
are not forced to enlist, but the president
in his call signified his desire that the
nrilitia of the states should he recognized
I and given the firts chance, and in order to '
secure the prompt enlistment of these men
I it has been deom.-d best in almost all the
states to recognize their thus let
ting them come ftito volunteer army
preserving their militia organizations in
nact. Where this has not been done, the
ardor of the citizen soldiery seems to have
been taken from them and embarrassing
delays have resulted.
There is either something radically I
wrong with our militia system or there
have heen serious mistakes in its admin
istration. If it turns out that in Georgia,
for instance, the militiamen do not volun
teer promptly they themselves will ho put
in a rather peculiar light. For vear< they
have been posing as' the soldiers of the
'state. They have worn their uniforms on
dress 'parade occasions; they wear the
military titles with grca,t gusto, and in
Hmes of peace at least they pose as the
“whole thing” from a military standpoint.
The states and the federal government
contribute toward their maintenance, the
former by furnishing money and the lat
ter by furnishing munitions for war. If,
w hen the war comes they fail to come to
the front and bear the state’s share of the
war burden by volunteering their services,
there is something wrong somewhere. If
it were due to any lack of .personal brav
ery or personal willingness, it certainly
would reflect upon the men themselves.
If it is due to misinterpretation of the
spirit of the president’s call by governors
giving commissions, to friends and ignor
ing the regularly elected'officers of the
militia regiment's and companies, the re
sentment of the militiamen is natural and
the blame does not belong to the men
themselves.

{AUDIENCE WAS
WELL PLEASED
First Performance of the May
Musical Festival Was a
Pronounced Success,
DUEL A HUNDRED VOICES
Took Part—The Instrumental Music
Was Very Fine —Two Per
formances Today.
In these stirring times of war, every
thing else is practically side-tracked, and
amusements or entertainments of every
kind except of a military nature are for
goten for the time, but one exception must
certainly be made of this broad rule. The
Young Men’s Christian 'Association scored
a distinct hit, in the opening of their mag
nifiefient 'May Musical Festival last night,
in spite of all the adverse circumstances.
And this it not to 'be wondered at, con
sidering the magnitude of their undertak
ing and the unqualified excellence of the
musical program so charmingly rendered
on this occasion. It is safe 'to say that
no more cultured or refined, or better
pleased audience ever assembled in Ma
cou’s opera house than greeted the South
ern May Musical Festival Company last
night. This is a company of twenty of the
most talented vocal and instrumental so
loists that even J. S. Atkinson & Co., the
promoters of the enterprise, with all their
splendid energy and large capital, could
select from this country and Europe, assis
ted by an orchestra of thirty picked men
from the famous Boston Symphony play
ers and Damrosch’s New York orchestra.
Every member of tbp company is a tal
ented artist, and they proved it conclusive
ly last evening by their faultless rendition
of- one of the most charming programs
ever presented to a musical audience.
Dt is useless to particularize in a de
scription of that program. Useless to
say that this or that number was superb,
for it was all grand. The well trained
voices of the vocalists, combined with the
faultless technique, style, dash and tone
of the instrumental soloists and the or
chestra, combined to make an aggregation
of soul-loving music that has never been
surpassed in Macon. The News does not at
tempt to specify or particularize, but pre
sents the program in its entirety, and says
that everyone 'Who heard it was charmed,
and those who missed it have lost a great
opportunity in their lives.

RAINY-SEASON IN CUBA
Said to Be the Most Charming of the Whole
Year.
Washington, May 10. —Mr. Wikliam T.
'Hornady, chief naturalist of the Smithso
nian Institution, has spent nearly ten
years in East India, Borneo and Sumatra
jungles ■eolecting rare animals, birds and
in’sects for the Smithsonian. He is the
only white man who ever lived among the
he'ad hunters of Borneo.
“All this talk of the danger in Cuba of
the rainy "season, yellow fever, etc., is
greatly exaggerated.” Mr. Hornady said.
I “Because the Spanish army has lost so
heavily, many uninformed persons fear
that the country would be as fatal to the
newly arrived Americans as it was to the
green Spaniard. The Spanish troops I saw
were wretchedly fed and clothed, and ab
solutely no heed is taken to enforce the
most obvious saniatry regulations. Then
the food, clothing, medicines, everything 1
the men have to live on, is furnished by i
contractors, who stand in with the officers j
and simply starve the poor soldiers into ;
disease an death. The Spanish women ‘
have a saying: ‘When our sons go to Cuba
or the Phillipines they never return.’ Many
a Spanish mother whose son is coming
near the time when he must do service in
the Spanish army, is praying that Cuba
and Porto Rico may be lost to Spain be
fore her son goes away.
“After five years of living in 'the most
I malarial jungles on earth, in the most
| mlasmic swamps, drinking syamp water.
: and often having to eat unaccustomed and
i badly cooked food. I never had but one
touch of jungle fever, and that only laid
me up six or seven days. I owe my excel
lent health to two or three precautions. I
never slept on the bare ground nor in the
; rain, and always under shelter. 1 always
, wore light flannels next o the skin, and
m ver slept in damp clothes. Whatever
else I might have to’do without, two
changes of flannel underwear, besides that
I had on, were always at hand. Take from
six to five grains of quinine every morning
in a cup of hot coffee, if you have it; if
not, ithcn in hot water. Have your shoes
to tit you, even if you must buy them
I yourself, though the United States is fur
nishing its troops with an excellent march
ing shoe. With these precautions and a
dose of some light laxative -twice a week,
there need be no more fear of fever in
| Cuba than there is in Missouri.
Morrillas. a Culxau born, and for
some years an assistant surgeon in the
I niteu States navy, now in the marine
hospital service, in the tropics, said; “The
rainy season, as it is ‘called out of Cuba, is
to Cubans the most charming season of
the year. It begins generally about tne
middle of May and lasts to the middle of
September. It usually rains in the after
noon, and sometimes the fall is very heavy
and accompanied by such thunder and
lightning as one never knows outside the
tropics. It generally stops at sunset, which
is simply unspeakably grand in its cloud
effects.. I rarely ever have known it to
rain at night. It is this so-caled rainy
season that gives life and vigor to the
growing vegetation and makes our sugar
and toiiaeeo crops what they are. By eat
ing well cooked food and eschewing ovar
indulgence in 'the fruits of the country,
usually so tempting to strangers, always
sleeping under some sort of shelter, and
not on the bare ground, the green Yankee
from the New Hampshire hills may laugh
at the bogy of the ‘rainy season’ and the
yellow fever. It is 'well for the uiiaccli
raated man to take from four to five grains
of quinine every morning, and a mild pur
gative, say, 'twice a week. You may be as
wet. as possible if you are on the move,
but when you stop change your clothes,
sox and all. You will never have this fe
ver if you follow these easily remembered
rules.”

worst form. Truly, his description of
his sv.fieri seem little short of mar
velous. Insleail of seeking his couch,

long, weary, wakeful night and a
struggle to breathe was before him.

Messrs Lipfiira-i Rros,, Savannah, Ga.,

head to the soles <.i my feet. Your P. P. P.
has cured ny dlrfictilty of breathing, smother
ing, palpitation of the heart, and has relieved
me of all pain. One nostril was closed for
ten years, but now I can breathe through it
readily.
I have not slept on either side for two years:
in fact, I dreaded to see night come. Now I
sleep soundly in any position all night.
I am 50 years old, but expect soon to be able
to take hold of the plow handles. I feel glad
that I was lifcky enough to get P. P. P., and I
heartily recommend it to my friends and the
public generally.
