HESTER KILLED
ST SPANIARDS
Macon Boy Held as a Prisoner
Was Foully Murdered bv
the Treacherous Foe.
HAS A BROTHER IN MACON.
He Ran Away From Home Some Two
or Three Years Ago and Had
Not Been Heard of Since.
HESTER KILLED BY SPANIARDS
Lawn nee T Hester, a young IMaeon boy
Who ran away from home some years ago
ami it is thought went to sea on an Amer
ican sailing vessel, lias been killed toy the
Spaniards while imprisoned on the Island
of Cuba.
The news to this effect reached .Macon
yesterday.
II was reported some days ago that he
was among the prison, i s on board an
.American vessel that had .been captured as
a prize by the Spaniards and his parents
who are now living in Florida, were great
ly distressed about it.
The news of his treacherous death will
arouse a storm of indignation all over the
country, especially as the presumption is
that his companions in misfortune have
been killed also.
Young Hester left AT.icon without, the
consent of his parents ami his whereabouts
have since that time (been shrouded in
mystery. The first information that was
received about him was when the depart
ment at 'Washington notified his .father,
who was formerly a Macon policeman, that
his son was among the prisoners held by
the Spaniards on the island.
It is not clear bow he came to be a
prisoner ami the only presumption is that,
he was one of a crew of a merchant vessel.
Jt may have been, however, that he found
his wav to Cuba ami that he was living
there and m glecfed to h ave when the war
broke out.
How he was killed those .who know of
the matter on information received from
tiny source, are unable to tell
The matter will, of course, be investi
gated further.
Young Hester has two brothers now liv
ing in Macon.

For sometime past a large force of work

is being carried on for F. A. Gutti nberger
<t- Co., who will move from their present

A News man took a look at the Interior

already enough has, been done to show that
.Macon is to have one o.f the largest and
handsomest music bouses in the South.
In addition to the spacious and beauti
ful salesroom on the first floor, there will
be a large music hall on the second floor,
well lighted, airy and handsomely fitted
up, where Macon’s musical talent may
congregate from time to time.
Guttenberger A Co.’s new move will give
them much more room and better equip
them for carrying on their large and rapid
ly growing business.
Professor Guttcntoergcr announced this
morning that he would, 'beginning iMon
day, inaugurate a great removal sale for
one week. He is den rmined to do this in
order that he may carry all new stock into
his new quarters. Everything will -be
marked down and some great bargains
will be offered throughout next week. This
applies to everything in the establishment,
and the announcement will be read with
interest by the musical people of (Macon
am! Ihe public generally. The sale begins
Monday and continues for one week.

What is Going
On in Society.
The house party given by Mrs. James
11. Blount at her country home in honor
ot Mrs. AValter Lamar’s guests, Miss Watts
and Miss Mat I.ee Watts, was one of the
most charming affairs ever known, and
the fortunate guests will not soon forget
the delightful visit. “Hale Inn” is prob
ably the handsomest country home in this
part, of Georgia. and is appropriately
named, for “Hale Inn” in the (Hawaiian
tongue means “Big House,” and no one
can fail to be impressed with the size and
beauty of the rooms; indeed, anyone of
Mrs. Blount’s rooms is large enough to
dance a cotillion in. The house is a worthy
memorial of colonial architecture and an
unusually artistic feature is the winding
stairway from the broad entrance hall to
the second story, and from there to the
top of the house. Magnificent oak’s add
their touch of beauty and the surroundings
are a feast for the eye. After all, though,
each guest at this house party felt that the
greatest charms of "Hale Itin” were the
<l. lightfully entertaining master and the
beautiful mistress; they both welcomed
their guests with such graceful cordiality
and entertained them so royally that
everyone left with regret and hoping to
return some tinip to ‘iH’ale Inn.” Those
who enjoyed Colonel and Mrs. Blount’s
hospitality were Mr. and Mrs. Walter La
mar, Miss Watts, Miss Mat Lee Matts, of
Portsmouth, Mrs. 'Minter Wimberly, Mrs.
Traej- Baxter. Mrs. Louis Stevens, Miss
M iry fj. >b. Miss Mamey Hatcher, Miss
Ernma Wise, Mrs Harry Jones, Mrs. Sarah

MACON NEWS THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 14 1898.
CANDLER WILL
CARRY MORGAN.
Claims of the Allied Candi
dates Are Utterly With
out Foundation.
The allied candidates have been making
some big claims with reference to Morgan
county, but here is a, voluntary communi
cation received today by The News which
makes these claims seem rather shallow —
as, iqdeed, they seem to be almost every
where.
The communication is as follows:
Editor Macon News: For the encourage
ment of the supporters of Colonel Candler
for governor, permit me to say that he is
morally certain to carry Morgan county.
(Every county officer except one. (who is
for Berner) is for Candler, and while
Candler will receive here in Madison more
votes than either Berner or Atkinson (and
I think more than both together) he will,
out at the country precincts, unless all
signs fail, get two or three votes to every
one received by both of them. Candler’s
popularity among the country people espe
cially, has not been exaggerated. It is
wonderful. For one reason or another,
nearly every countryman takes to Cand
ler.
I have received letters from persons,
politically disinterested, living in Sumter,
Houston, Baldwin, Putnam, Crawford.
>Bartow, Greene, Jones, Butts and Walton
which (except as to Crawford and ißutts
wiu ie the race between Berner and Cand
ler is close) leave me without doubt that
Colonel Candler wiil be easily victor in
them all.
Candler is one-eyed, homely and no
saint, but he has a head full of common
■ n ;e, a heart full of patriotism, and a
record signalized by successful undertak
ings and by devotion to the rugged prin
ci( les of honesty in all his dealings
v.-he ther in business or official life. No
wond< r such a man carries all hearts be
fore him. . Morgan.
Madison, Ga., May 13, 1898.
Accompanying the above is the follow
ing clipping from the 'Madisonian, winch
shows the character of the fight being
made on the people’s candidate up here:
Editors (Madisonian: A man on the
streets of Madison, the other day, being
asked about the race tor governor, said:
“I am tired of these old tvar-iiorses, and
I’m against old Candler.”
God pity any man with soul so dead and
Ups so foul as to entertain and sipeak such
a thought as this!
Neither the Confederate veterans, nor
their sons, nor their grandsons, r.or any
of their descendants, will ever, with un
holy tongue, desecrate the cause or the
South in the war between tne states, nor
insult the memory of the brave men,
North or South, who fought the batties of
that war.
Yet here is a man who dares to desig
nate these heroes of God’s own handiwork
as a lot of old “war-horses.” Allen D.
Candler distinctly says he is not running
for governor of Georgia on his war record.
Yet here Is a man aigalnst him because of
that record. Candler is running for gov
ernor on the record of a life time, cavering
both war and peace; and while fie holds
the cause of the South and his defense of
it in war too sacred to make political cap
ital out of it, he is not ashamed or afraid
but proud of the part he took in that great
struggle for Southern independence. In
his great speech at Rome covering ten
columns of newspaper and consuming
about two hours, he modestly devotes only
about a dozen lines to to his record as a
soldier. But in those few eloquent words
is found a record worthy to live forever.
Said he:
"I myself was for nearly four years of
blood and suffering a Co afe tie rate soldier.
I have been shot in battle in defense of
Georgia and the right, and I would suffer
my right arm to wither before I would do’
uu injustice to my needy comrades in arms
who, though reviled and spit upon oy some
who never smelled burning gun-powder,
are still my brothers and dearer to me
than any other living men.”
Os course there are many honorable men
who will vote for Berner ami for Atkin
son; nut tne man who votes against Cand
ler just because he is an old “war-horse”
is a creature fit only for the vile dust
whence he sprung.
Confederate.
Notes Taken
On the Run.
Harry Tillman and .1. J. Griffin, of Jas

day evening before commisioner Erwin on
the charge of illicit distilling.
The report giving credit to Mr. L. M.
Erwin for treating the regulars to beer
a few nights ag'o was incorrect, in that it
gives credit to the wrong man. It was Mr.
(Marion Erwin whose heart was opened
when he saw the thirsty soldiers at. the
depot and he gave them carte (blanche at
an adjoining bar.

LIGHTER LOAVES
OF BREAD HOW
All the Bakers Have Cut the
Size of Their Loaves to
Suit the Times.
IT IS BAKER’S WAR TAX.
They Cannot Raise the Price So
They Have Reduced the Size-
Look at the Price of Flour.
The loaves of bread for ’he past few
days were not so large as those of several
days ago.
Perhaps the consumer did not notice it,
but the oblong, inside loaf of the staff of
life lacked from one to three ounces of
having as much flour in it as formerly.
This is one of the effects of war. •!■. is the
baker’s war tax that the consumer is pay
ing. Within the last few days every baker
has decreased the size of a loaf of bread
from one to three ounces. Some of them,
perhaps the majority, have split the differ
ence and made the loaves two ounces
short. The cause of the decrease in the
size of a 5c loaf of bread, which really
amounts to a rise in price,is the bound
upward recently in the price of flour. The
baker must live and to live he must make
a profit
Said a 'baker this morning:
“Gs course we have reduced the size of
bread loaves. We hail to do it. Wc could
not raise the price of bread in any other
manner. This is not London. where an
extra cent can be tacked on the price of
a loaf. The American public will only pay
5c a loaf for (bread; charge them more and
they will go somewhere else. A loaf ci
bread now weighs 12 or 13 ounces—rarely
mere. Before the increase in tin- price < :
flour a loaf weighed from 16 io 17 ounce •.
Most bakers then cut out their dough so
as to make a loaf of bread weigh a pound.
This practice has been stopped in sell
defense. We cannot put up the price like
a grocer does sugar. Flour which cost us
s's a barrel a few weeks ago now conts
$7.50 and the end is not yet. The public
may be buying 10 ounce loaves if the price
of flour continues to advance. A barrel of
Hour will make 250 16-ounce loaves of
'bread. You can wager that we get more
than that out of a barrel now.
Strange as it may appear cakes and pies
have not gone up in price with .bread. This,
the bakers say, is because there is not
much Hour used in them. There is more
eggs and sugar and such things. These
are not up now and the retail cake mar
ket is firm at the olid prices.
Going back to the subject of bread the
baker said that no matter how small the
loaves are made now the bakers cannot
come out even. He said further that the
whole system of soiling bread in the United
States is wrong. It should be sold by tin
pound like other merchandise.
