Spring is Here
And with it comes the thoughts of cool
refreshing Beer. It is the only thing to drink in the,
spring, and, in fact, any time of the year. Good Beer, such
as we make, puts life and strength into the body. Our
Beer is more than good; it is the best made, because it is
made of the best hops and malt that can be bought. Better

ms KILLED
ON THE TRACK
How Mettauer McGolrick, a
Well Known Macon Young
Man, Met Death.
DASHED AGAINST A POST
On the Side of the Track and In
stantly Killed—Sad News Was
Received Here Last Night.
Metteaur McGolrick. son of the late
John G. McGolrick, and a brother of the
well known Fourth street grocer, was kill
ed last night on the bicycle track in At
lanta.
Young McGolrick was hardly yet of age
and was one of the brightest of the youg
men of Macon. He was a student of Au
burn College, lAlabama, and was a some
what noted athlete.
The news of the death was received in
Macon last night and was a great shAck
to the relations of the young man among
whom he was a favorite.
His father, Mr. John G. McGolrick, died
some years ago, but his mother is still
living. His sister is Mrs. Tom Hudson.
The following account of the terrible ac
cident is given in the 'Constitution of this
morning;
While training last night for participa
tion in the bicycle races which were to
have occurred as an independent feature
to the athletic meet at exposition park this
afternoon, J. Al. McGolrick, a student of
the Alabama Polytechnic institute, of Au
burn, was thrown against one of the posts
tn the coliseum and instantly killed. •
’ Only two or three of his friends wit
nessed the accident and they at once noti
fied the Grady hospital. This, however,
was done through their excitement, and
a few moments later they notified Under
taker 'Patterson, and the remains of the
young man were brought to the city to be
prepared for burial.
l
fifcdil
J. Mettauer McGolrick.
Young McGolrick was from Macon. His
mother resides there with her daughter,
but the father of the young man has been
dead several years. The accident caused
great sorrow last night among the college
men, who greatly admired the young man,
although he was not here for the purpose
of entering the intercollegiate athletic
meet, which occurs this afternoon.
l'he accident occurred shortly after 9
o’clock. The bicyclists had been to the
park during thu afternoon and had left
their wheels. Last night young McGolrick,,
his team mate, H. A, Skeggs, of Auburn;
Macon 'Dudley, of the University of Geor
gia; Will 'Dudley, of .Americus; Walter
Daneil, of Atlanta, a student of the Tech
nological school, and A. D. (Brown, of
Griffin, who was helping to train young
McGolrick, boarded a car in the center of
the city and went to the park for the pur
pose of training for the races scheduled tor
this afternoon.
They found the coliseum locked, hue se
cured the keys from Mr. Riddle, the cus
todian of the building, and entered the
coliseum shortly after 8:30 o'clock. .After
riding a short time Macon Dudley and his
brother, Will Dudley, returned to the city
but Walter Daniel, J. M. McGolrick and
11. A. Skeggs remained on the track for
some time longer.
Alter about five more minutes of riding
at a fast pace, Skeggs retired to the dress
ing room and Trainer Brown advised the
two other boys to stop riding, telling them
they would strain 'their muscles
"Let’s go around once more,” Said Mc-
Golrick, and he and young Daniel started
around at a fast pace. Daniel leading-.
Brown had in the meantime taken a chair
from the grand stand and was sitting di
rectly over-the tape, waiting for the im
promptu race to end. Daniel came around
the last turn about ten ifeet in front of
McGc.’rick, and Brown, who was watching,
saw 'the front wheel of MCGolrick’s bicycle
begin to wobble as he came around the
curve. ■
then, as if doing his best to overtake
Daniel, McGolrick .steadied himself and
with bis head down shot straight toward
one of -the numerous posts whreh circle
the inner side of the track. The .post he
struck was either the first or second one
■after the padded posts are .passed and the
track there has practically no incline.
McGolrick struck with his head down,
and then his body shot into the air, fall
ing about fifteen feet away and within
about twenty feet of where Brown was
Sitting. The trainer rushed to where the
young man had fallen.
McGolrick did not move and when Brown
lifted his body his head fell back, while
the blood spurted from a terrible wound in
lie tight side of his head, just above his
ear. He was already dead. Brown left
Walter Daniel and Skeggs in charge of the
sdy of the unfortunate young man and
a. nt to the clubhouse of the Piedmont
Driving f’lub, where he telephoned for the
rnhul-ance. but a few moments later, real
izing that the young man was dead, he
telephoned to Undertaker Patterson to
come and take charge of the remains.
As soon as the undertaker arrived the
three young men. all of whom were in a
very nervous -condition, returned to the
city. Walter Daniel going to the home of
his father. Mr. J. C. Daniel, in West end:
Skeggs to his room in the Kimball, and
Brown to his boarding house. Brown, how
ever. did not go home until he telephoned
Dr. McHatton. of Macon, who is acquaint
ed with the family of the you pg man, and
'who informed his mother of the accident.
Mrs. McGolrick will arrive from Macon
this morning with her daughter and they
will accompany the remains of the young
man to Macon, leaving on the 4:15 train
this afternoon. When McGolrick arrived
m the city yesterday one of the first per
sons he met was A. D. Brown, whom he
had known for a long time.
Brown promised to be at the ealiseum |
last night to help him train and it was for !
his reason he witnessed the accident. J. '
M. McGolrick was ope of the most popular
students of the Alabama polytechnic in
stitute. He entered the school last Sep
tember and was taking a course in elec
tricity. and was in what is known as the
junior second class. He was 18 years of
age and was a leader in all athletic sports.
Bicycle riding, however, was his specialty
and on no occasion did he lose an oppor
tunity to indulge in his favorite pastime.
It was tbis that brought him to Atlanta.
He heard, as Aid the remainder of the col
lege students, of the athletic which
will occur this afternoon ap-J it was *-
termined to have bicycle races as an out-
MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 20 tfiga
side feature. These races were to have
been in no way connected with the athletic
- meet, and for this reason the sports will
not be postponed.
The bicycle races, however, have been
declared off. a« non. of th» rid.r- bad
heart for the cont.st after one of th.
racers had been killed, if Mi-Golrlck had

REV. TOM LeTtCH.
What This Talented Evange
list is Doing at Grace
Church.
It is interesting to hear 'this great re
vivalist tell his experience, as he occasion
ally does, to illustrate the wonderful work
of grace that God has wrought in his heart
and life. How itha't after repeated resolu
tions and efforts of his own, to quit the
drink habit, he was finally rescued and
saved to himself and his family, .and was
called to the great work of preaching the
unsearchable riches Os Christ, thus rescue
ing men, who himself was rescued. It is
perhaps the recollection of his own life
that makes Mr. Leitch so full of sympathy
for men, and that makes him have so much
influence and power over them. Last night
at Grace church Mr. Leitch preached from
Rev. iii: 20, “Behold I stand at the door
and kuoc-k: if any man hear my voice,”and
open the door, .1 will come into him, a.nd
sup with him and he with me.” “Jesus
does not merely call on you and simply
knock at the door .of your heart, and pass
on hurriedly to make another call, but he
stands at the door and patiently waits and
keeps on knocking. Would you treat auy
other friend so ill? il love to think of the
trinity, and 1 love to think of the figure
three in the Bible and all it represents.
Man is a trinity, soul, body and mind, and
the soul of man is a trinity, consisting of
conscience, will and affection. Then con
science must be quickened by the Holy
Spirit, but you must will to do, and let
Jesus in your heart. You must make the
choice of righteousness, and then let ’esus
into your affections and into your "eart,
and then you will have an evidence in your
life of conversion—that you have quit sin.
Jesus knocks at the door of your heart in
vain, unless you will to obey him, and un
less you let him into your heart and affec
tions.”
Mr. Leitch wais as usual, careful in his
manner o<f .presenting the points cf his ser
mon, illustrating and applying with story
and incident. Many penitents were.at the
altar, and there were-quite a number who
opened the door of their hearts to the
heavenly visitor. Mr. Fred Marshall,
though singing continuously at ev.ry ser
vice. is as full of vigor and spirit as when
he first began, his voice preserving all of
its fine qualities. It has been said, that
as many souls have been sung to heaven
as have been preached thi-re, and in that
are Mr. Marshall’s reward will be great,
for he certainly sings the gospel with the
understanding and the spirit.
Messrs. Leitch and Marshall will remain
at Grace church throughout this week,
and until Sunday night, conducting setr
vces in the afternoons at 4. and at night
at 8 o’cleok.
During the year Grace church has been
in a state of revival, and there has been
besides eighty accessions, a great awaken
ing in the membership of the church.
Discovered by a Wnnjan.
Another great discovery has been made
and that, too. bjs a lady in tbis country.
“Disease fastened its clutchc-s upon her
and for seven years he withstood its se- )
verest tests, but her vital organs were 1
undermined and her .bath seemed immi
nent. For three months she coughed in
cessantly and could not sleep. Site finally
discovered away to recovery by purchas
ing of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption, and was so mneh
relieved on taking the first dose that she
slept all night and with two bottles has
been absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs. (
Luther Lutz.” Thus writes Mr. W. C.

ARMY RATHER

Moonshiner Says That He
Would Prefer to be a
Soldier.

All of the Moonshiners Carn *
Back I his Morning.
Th,' moonshiners who were allowed to
go home by Judge Speer at I'hristmas time
ami wet <■ allowed live months - leave from
the jail in which Io plant heir crop:-:, came
'back today and formed a motley crowd al
the United iStat, ■ court house.
All of the moonshiner- earn.- back of
their own aceord. One of them was absent
when the roll was .ailed and it wa re
gatdtAl as a serious thing by the others
that one of their neighbors had broken
his parol.?.
Hut th. missing one came in on the train
at II ■o’clock and a few minutes afterward
his presence was announced by the other
m< hiners, who at once told t.ie dis-
trict attorney that, they were all present
and ready’ Io do whatever the court might
requite of them.
All the prisoners li.td serv -I part of va
rious terms in the Bibb count? jail. Some
of them have only a few w “its to serve,
iwhile otiea have nearly their wind - term
’before them
They are most of them stout looking
men and are farmers whose only crime
is that they have made whisky and have
neglected to pay the government tax for
'distilling.
Until their arest most of them thought
that they had the same right ■to make
whisky that hey have to go out and catch
fish. They are doing what their fathers
did before them and an arrest Tor moon
shining is not looked upon as a crime.
‘But none of them want to return to
jail. They are birds o’fthe open. They do
not thrive in the cage and they showed
their horro of the terms that were before
them.
Jack Kimbrough, of .Butts county, a tre
mendous, loose jointed' .aimer from
up among the red nills, sprang
a. surprise on the court when he said that
if the court .would .allow him to do so he
would go as a soldier rather than go back
to jail.
The proposition met with the approval
of the judge. Kimbrough said that he
wanted to enlist in the cavalry’ and he was
at once sent o Lieutenant Yates, the re
cruiting officer here.
The Lieutenant said that Kimbrough
was too tai for the cavalry and he will
■be allowed to try his chances up in Grif
fin or Atlanta.
Behind the incident there is a warld of
pathos. Speaking to a News reporter Kim
brough said:
“Yes, I talked it pver with my wife and
she agreed with me that anything honor
able was better than going back to the
jail house. I don’t want to go and be a
soldier, but I had rather lo that than
go to jail, and I will do it, too, if they’
will let me.”
As Kimbrough spoke there was a look in
his eyes that spoke of a wistful, longing
to be oneemore free and up among the
hills of ißutts with his family. He is an
expert mechanic and a miller and got into
this scrape more by the carelessness that
surrounds the making o's whisky by these
people than any recklessness as to the
laws.
Tie will make a good soldier if he en
lists. He is about six feet six in height
and well made proportionately. Among the
people of Butts county he stands well.
He has still some three or four months
of his sentence to serve.
“It is this way.” he said. “Beside the
disgrace of the jail house a man goes into
the jail in summer and stays there for
three or four months and he comes out
unfit Tor work. He is too soft, and going
out in the hot field in the sun he is liable
to get typhoid fever and die.”
■All of the other prisoners were sent to

HOGAN AND CANDLER.
. «
A Democrat Has Something to Say About
the Telegraph’s Praise ot One and
Attack on the Other.
Editor Evening News: Your morning
contemporary, the great and good Tele
graph, has eulogized in fulsome praise
Hon. J. R. Hogan, of Lincoln, the Populist
nominee for governor. In the same issue
Mr. Walter G. Hill has discussed the life
and charcter'‘of the “Grand Old Man,”
William Ewart Gladstone, but Mr. Hill has
hardly said as many good things of this
prince of men as the Telegraph has said of
Hogan of Lincoln.
If all the Telegraph has said of Hogan
is true, then the people of Georgia will
make a great mistake in not supporting
him for governor. But the writer happen
ed to serve two years ago in the legisla
tive halls with Hogan, and it is evident
that I could know him better than Hogan’s
great admirer, the editor of the Telegraph.
I am glad to say to the people of Bibb
county that the zealous editor who so
blindly worships Hogan of Lincoln - , is
surely unacquainted with his hero.
Instead of being the grand, majestic,
pure and scholarly statesman that the ed
itor of the Telegraph thinks him to be
he is a very ordinary citizen. He is very
sensible and Very clever. I do not suppose
that he ever made a stump speech in Lis
life. He makes no pretensions at oratory
and would 'be a fool to do so. There are
three thousand men in Bibb county who
can make better speeches than can Hogan
of Lincoln. Hogan is a plain, honest,
clever fellow. He was considered the lead
er of the Populists in the house; but it
would not require a majestic genius -to
tower above the average Populist who goes
to the legislature.
So, knowing Hogan as I do. I am aston
ished that anyone could so be imbued with
“hero worship” as to attempt to make a
hero of Hogan. Hogan has permitted him
self to be led a willing sacrifice upon the
altar of his ambition, and he will wake up
some pretty ‘frosty morning to find himself
the worst defeated man that ever ran for
an office in Georgia.
Poplism has disintegrated. The ram
pant fellows who at one time were san
guine of success, have all refused to lead
a useless fight against Democracy, and
they have done Hogan the doubtful honor
of declining the nomination and favoring
him to lead the forlorn - hope of a defunct ‘
parry whose platform was built up of chips
and whetstones, the illusions of which
have proved as. a fleeting show.
But it is strange that in the same paper
there is given publicity to a dirty, cow
ardly article attacking Colonel Allen T>.
Candler, who is sure to be the Democratic i
nominee. Mhy the Telegraph, knowing
that Colonel Candler will be the standard
bearer of the Democratic party and Mt.
Hogan of the Populist, should, in the same
issue publish an article condemning Col.
onel Candler and another praising Mr.
Hogan, passeth comprehension. If the
Telegraph is a friend of the Democratic
' -party, then Lord deliver us from such
friends.
j The people of Georgia will show the Ma
con Telegraph and all other influences that
are fighting Democracy so bitterly that
Colonel Candler will restore our party to
the old time majority. He will not run
behind his ticket 20,000 votes, but as he
i did in the last election, he will lead the
■ Democratic ticket.
Why does not the Telegraph and all
other disgruntled soreheads come together
ami unite on Colonel Candler. The peo-
I pic are going to do it. Many of the erst
| while Populists will cease their bicker
ings and join the Candler ranks. Colonel
Candler alone is the man on whom all
classes ami parties in Georgia can agree
■ Lets join hands now and sing. “As long
t as the lamp hold.- out to burn, the vilest
| sinner may return. ,

known in Georgia-SIO,OOO worth of Men’s,
Youths and Children s Clothing to be slaugh
tered at sixty-five cents on the dollar
Listen and we will tell you how we can
aflord to do this. As so many men of these
United States have become soldiers and wear
military uniforms and do not need citizens’
Clothing, the Clothing trade in New York has
become exceeingly stagnant. In consequence,
many Clothing houses have failed in business.
Our New York buyer is always on the alert to
gobble up bargains. He secure f the entire
bankrupt stock of
FERSHICKER & IVEROUCH
at fifty cents on the dollar and shipped it to us
at once.
We did not have room on the first floor for
them and have devoted one-half our second
floor this immense stock. Such a sight of
Clothing at such give away prices has never
before before been witnessed. We deal exclus
ively in Dry Goods, but could not resist this
tempting Clothing bargain to benefit our cus
tomers. <
In addition to this sale we offer Sacrifice
Bargaing in our Dry Goods department for Sat
urday and all next week.
