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. ANNIVERSARIANS At Mercer Delivered Splendid Addresses at the College Last Night.

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 Grant Jackson, ot Atlanta, Miss Ida Mang ham. Miss Mary Patterson. Mrs. Sarah Grant Jackson and Miss Pat terson will receive with Mrs. Walter La mar next Tuesday afternoon at her usual weekly reception. • « » Mrs. .Arthur C. Blair and children, of Brunswick, are the guests of Colonel and Mrs. William >A. Jeter in A’ineville. « • • Mrs. S?am Hunter left yesterday for Griffin, where she will spend some time with Mrs. Charles Mills Mrs. Emory Winship is in Griffin with Mrs. -'harles Mills and will remain until her son. Captain Blanton 'Winship, leaves the encampment with his company. > * « 7he Daughters of the Revolution were entertained this week by the regent. M rs - M ashington, in honor of her birthday. A pleasant feature of the meeting was the presentation to the chapter of a gavel made from wood cut from the historic bat tlefield of Kings Mountain. A South Caro lina -riend sent the gavel to Mrs. Wash ington. who in turn has given it to this chapter. Airs. Washington's father. Gen. Hammond, was one at the heroes of King's Mountain. - Thi. card party given by Mrs. Willis sparks yesterday afternoon was a charm in-gaftair as Mrs. Sparks’ entertainments invariably are. The score was kept by M’ss Birdie Coleman and Miss Emily Carnes, and tne first prize, a pair of silver glove stretchers, was won by Mrs. Ovid Spraks. AU the ladies present cut for the consolation prize. a silver &ugar spoon. Mrs. Lee Ellis winning. Among the young ladies who will spend tomorrow in Griffin, are Miss Carrie Har ris. Miss Emily Williamson, and Miss Emily Carnes. We have the prettiest line of ladies’ low shoes in Georgia and -prices that are lew enough. -Mix Shoe Co. 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 per county, were given a hearing yester 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. Dr. H. J. Allen, of 'Milledgeville, is in the city today. Col. Jesse Walters, of Albany, came up this mornig and is registered at the Brown House.

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. HALF CEHT fl WORE Miscellaneous.
