MACON MECCA
FOR IMMUNES
They Will Begin to Gather
Here This Week at Cen
tral City IPark.
WILSON'S RETURN TO MACON
He Will Recommend That Some of
the Troops be Mobilized Here
and Recommendation Goes.
This week Macon >will be the Mecca for
the immunes. Patriots who have had the
• yellow fever will be headed this way until
j at least a thousand of them will be here.
They will be quarterd at the Central City
! Park, where the buildings are being put I
in readiness for their recption.
Colonel Ray, in command of the regi- 1
j ment, is expected to arrive here today or j
tomorrow and will at once commence to |
! assist in the work of preparation by giving
his directions as to what is to he done
for the reception of the men.
Macon will furnish a few of the recruits
for the regiment, and it is thought that a
good many of the younger men of Savan- |
nah and Brunswick will seize the opportu
nity.
All sorts of ideas exist as to the rquire
ments for this regiment of immunes. It
is generally understood that those offering
themselves for enlistment must have had
the yellow fever and must have been res
idents of the South for a long time. But
it is rediculous to think that a person who
has had the yellow’ fever cannot take the
same disease again. As a matter of fact
he can take it as often as he changes the
climate in 'Which he lives. There are
plenty of instances of the same man hav
ing had yellow fever four or five times.
The fact that a man had yellow fever in
this country is no guarantee that he will
not have it in Cuba, and he is just as
likely to die of it on the second or third
time as he was on the first unless he gets
the proper nursing.
But the regiment of so-called immunes
will ’be the most cormfortably quartered of
men who can stand the climate better
than the others and who having had the
yellow fever once are perhaps not quite as
liable to it as others might be.
At any rate, the regiment of immunes
will be them ost comfortably quartered of
| any of the volunteers who are In this
‘ | state. Central City park is just now’ at its
' best and the buildings will afford ideal
barrack rooms for the summer time.
The water conenctions are ample, and
in fact there is verything that is needed
to accommodate more than double the
number of men to be sent here.
■Just in this eonection it is interesting
to know that there is a very good chance
that some of the volunteers to be mobiliz
ed in the South will be sent to ’Macon.
One of the generals, it is though will be
here very shortly on a tour of inspection
I and there is reason to belive that his good
will is considerable. In fact the general
who is expected here is none other than
General Wilson, who thirty three years ago
rode into (Macon with his cavalry and raid
ed the town. He has expressed himself as
anxious to do something for Macon and
when he comes to IMacon this time it will
be as an honored guest.
No doubt but that if he is appointed to
( come to 'Macon by the department he will
make a favorable report.
, Senator Bacon and Congressman Bartlett
‘ are doing their best for Macon with the
dejartment.
Whatever can be done has already been
done and if the department has decided for
or against Macon by this time as all the
steps towards securing a portion of the
troops were taken last week.
Rut the chances are that some of them
will come this way, and if they do they
will find as camfortable quarters awaiting
them as have been given to any soldier in
this campaign.
Many soldiers now’ feel the effects of the
hard service they endured during the war.
Mr. George S. Anderson, of Rossville, York
county, Penn., who saw the hardest kind
of service at the front, is now frequently
troubled with rheumatism.. “I had a severe
attack lately,” he says, “and procured a
bottle Os Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. It did
so much good that I would like to know
what you would charge me for one dozen
bottles.” Mr. Anderson wanted it both for
his own use and to supply it to his friends
and neighbors, as every family should have
a bottle of it in their home, not only for
rheumatism, but lame back, sprains, swell
ings, cuts, ’bruises and burns, for which
it is unequalled. For sale by H. J. Lamar
& Sons, druggists.
DR, MASON BACK.
Says That There is No Place Like Macon
After All.
Dr. J. >M. ’Mason, who left some time ago
'to go to Texas, with the intention of per
manently locating there if he found the
business outlook any better than it is in
Macon, has returned to the city, much to
the pleasure of his friends and the friends
of his family and has made up his mind
not to change his location at present.
The doctor says that he found that things
Were not as good in Texas as they are in
Georgia, and he believes the future outlook
for this town is better than he eoulq find
it elsewhere.

MACON NX WS MONDAY EVENING, MAY 30 ißgb.
What is Going
On in Society.
This morning the Junior exhibition took
place in the College chapel and the audi
ence listened to the following program:
Music,.March
INVOCATION.
’Music —“Prelude in D. flat.” Chopin
Miss Lula Rogers Stephens, Macon.
Essay—“ Tennyson on Social Reform,”
Miss Kate Martin, Valdosta, Ga.
Song—'Sing, Smile, Slumber,”Gounod
'Misses Lu Singleton, Gaston, Trammell
and (Cavanaugh.
Essay—“ The Coming Ruler,”
Miss -Mamie Lucile Ballenger,
Rockmart, Ga
Essay—“ Literary Possibilities of the
South.
Miss Ola May Harrison, Macon.
Music —“March in D fiat,”Hollaender
Miss Mabel Langston.”
Miss Ballenger paid a beautiful tribute
to General R. E. Lee and to General Stone
wall Jackson, aud her essay was enthusi
astically applauded. Praise of Lee and
Jackson is sure to strike the right chord
in a Southern audience. The ushers this
this morning were two of the most at
tractive girls in college, (Miss Mattie Park
and 'Miss Eugenia Pace.
The art reception ‘takes place this after
noon in the drawing rooms of the college
from 4 to 6 o’clock, aud all who attend
will see on of the most creditable and at
tractive-collections of picutres ever exhib
ited by Miss 'Mason’s art class. The pic
tures, particularly the portraits, show,
marked individual talent, aud all the work
is additional proof that Miss Mollie Mason
is one Os the best of teachers in her chosen
profession. One of the most interesting
pictures shown is a portrait in oils of Mrs.
Catherine 'Benson, the first graduate of the
college. There is also to be seen in a
large frame the diploma received by Mrs.
Benson, then iMiss Brewer. It is quite dif
ferent irom those received by the grad
uates of today, and is vvorde thus:
Testomonial
Os the Georgia Female College.
The president as the representative of
'the faculty of the Georgia Female College,
gives this testimonal, that Miss Catherine
C. Brewer, after having passed through a
regular course embracing all the sciences
which are usually taught in the colleges
of the United States, with such as appa
rently belong to the female education in
its most ample range, was deemed worthy
of the first degree conferred ’by this insti
tution and accordingly it was conferred
upon her on the 15th of July, 1840.
In testimony of which the signature or
the president and faculty and the seal or
the college are herto affixed.
George F. Pierce, President.
W. H. EUison, Professor Mathematics
T. B. Slade, Professor Natural Science.
A. Mansenet, Professor Languages.
The date of graduation, it will be ob
served, was the 15th of July, and now we
all think the first of June quite late
enough.
The annual concert takes place fonight
in the college chapel and a fine program
has been arranged. An admission price of
50 cents will be charged.
The 'board of trustees meet again this
afternoon.

General Clement A. Evans preached a
fine sermon yesterday to the graduating
class of Wesleyan College, and was lis
tened to with great attention by me large
congregation assembled at Mulberry Street
’Methodist church. .Schubert’s arrangement
of the 23d psalm -was beautifully rendered
by a chorus of voices selected from the
college girls, and 'Miss Ketner’s solo was
much appreciated. Miss Attie Moore pre-'
sided at the organ and played with remark
able skill. General Evans selected as his
text Luke 2d, verse 52, “And Jesus in
creased in wisdom and in stature, and in
favor with God and man.” Then followed
a beautiful sketch of the life of Christ
from childhood to perfect manhood, clos
ing with the noble, beautiful words,
“Young ladies, I have presented to your
view a life worth living. I have not sought
to bring him down to your estate, but
rather to lift you up to his. All his min
istries are at your command, and I bid you
God-speed in the journey of life. May all
its blessing be yous!”
The Wesleyan College missionary society
held its anniversary last night in the col
lege chapel and heard an excellent sermon
toy the Rev. W. P. Lovejoy.-
A beautiful voluntary was sung by Mrs.
Williams’ special class, and the exercises

Evans, president. The reports of the oth
er officers showed the society to be in a
most satisfactory condition. The names of
seventy-three members were enrolled, and

SCHOOL CENSUS
RETURNS ARE IN
Very Satisfactory Increase in
the School Population
of Bibb.
ABOUT FIJUHTEtH THEJUSJNO
Children are in the County and the
Increase is Very Satisfactory
to the Board.
The returns for the census of the school
popultion of this county are all in and
were made up on Saturday.
This is the second time the census has
been made up. The first it was taken when
the smallpox scare had Just commenced
and the result of the census taking was,
that there was if anything a decrease in
the number of the children in the county
shown. The board of education knew that
this could not be the case and a recount
was ordered. The second count shows
that the number of school going children
in the county has increased by something
fifteen hundred, which is considered a
very good showing for the county and
probably will entitle Bibb to an increase
in the county appropriations from the
state.
The census was very carefully taken
and ther is no doubt that it is very nearly
if not absolutely correct.
The total number of children in the
county as shown by the census taken from
all the districts with the exception of one
is .thirteen thousand two hundred and
seventy-five. The district that has not yet
been brought in shows a total of about
seven hundred, which will bring the total
up to something like fourteen thousand
children.
Un 1893 the census of this county showed
that there were tnvelve thousand five hun
dred and ninety-four children in the coun
ty and the returns this year will show an
increase of about fourteen hundred chil
dren.
This is considered a very satisfactory in
crease and Superintendent Abbott says that
he hopes that the result will be that Bibb
will get an increase in the fund, though
he is, of course, unable to estimate exactly
on this until all the returns are In
throughout the state.
If there has been a proportionate in
crease in every county in the state the
increase will not materialize, but if Bibb
county has shown a better increase than
other counties, she will be benefited.
MARION HARRIS
WILL NOT RUN.
Declines to Enter the Legisla
tive Race—His Reply to
His Friends,
The following communication will be
read with general interest:
To the Editor of The Evening News:
Some of my partial friends, Messrs. E. G.
Jacobs, W. D. Lamar, J. 18. (Riley, W. *H.
Ezell, Thomas C. Peek W. W. Hardwick,
John S. Hoge, J. Richard Gibson, Charles
G. Wilbourne, J. W. Leyton, Louis Botch
er, J. D. Stubbs, C. Ellright, Will G. An
drew, iH. IM. Wortham, E. A. Pierce, C. D.
Peavy, G. H. Eelchman, W. E. Dixon, T.
A. Jacobs, H. H* Clark. Gus S. Anderson,
Harry Jones, Clisby Wise and others, in
serted a card in your Saturday’s paper
presenting my name for legislative honors,
This suggestion has brought to me offers
of support from many different sources.
A grateful heart is my response to this
show of confidence.
The legislative hall at the state capital
is ever a tempting and spacious place for
the ambitious and the patriotic; and never
more so than now. The question of tax
ation and tax exemption, of jury exemp
tions, of public roads, of radical changes
in the state constitution, of the organiza-'
tion and support of the militia, of the reg
ulation of building and loan associations,
of the regulation of the liquor traffic, of
state quarantine under the control of, the
federal government, of fairer elections snd
restrictions of suffrage, of the numerous
differences between the railroads amj the
people, qf the constant friction between
capital and labor, of extending the liabil
ity of stockholders in corporations, of the
establishment of a Juvenile reformatory,
of reformation of the judicial system, and
of such changes the criminal laws as shall
insure its speedier enfircement, while yet
preserving every substantial right to the
prisoner, are of paramount importance
and are pressing for the most intelligent
attention of the people and the people’s
servants. These and the many other ques
tions and issues which the progress of our
state is rapidly developing need to be set
tled by carefully selected and safe legisla
tors. A safe legislator is one who is too
little to do any harm or is big enough to
do some good. Three gentlemen of the
latter type can be selected easily from
among-the seven worthy gentlemen who
have already announced their candidacy.
Let me suggest >h connection, that
In my judgment wp should vote in the
coming primary for men who will best
serve the people generally rather than as
to some special question. I hope that no
man will be voted for because he is a pro
hibitionist or an anti-prohibitionlst, be
cause he is a railroad or an anti-railroad
man, or .because he is for this or against
- that. The best man to be selected is the
man in whose ability and integrity we
have the most confidence without much
regard for his views upon distinct issues.
Such a man will do the most good and will
never go far wrong.
I beg to thank my friends for the com
pliment they seek to pay me; but I can
not be a candidate for the legislature. At
present my ambitipns, my plans, and my
purposes are cast far outside of the lines
of politics, and in no sense am I an appli
cant for any oft ice, except that as best I
know now as fast as I can 1 am ’’running
to be a lawyer” and by hard work, coupled
with the gracious support of my friends
and an indulgent public, I hope some day
to be elected. Very respectfully.
