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.

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.

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 were gracefully conducted by Miss Lucy 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 during the year $242.50 has been contribu ted besides boxes of clothing for the spe cially needed Objcts. The following offi cers have been elected for the coming year, and were announced at last night’s meeting: 'President, Miss Maud Chambers. First vice president, IMiss Louise llpp kips.

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. Marlon W Harris castoux/l. The fiJ- /f mails z / Is os ■'“j"' < £, ."'.'A. JUDGE DESSAU Presided as a Pro Hac in the Superior Court This Morning.
