We are frank to say WE HAVE BEEN CAUGHT with too much Clothing in stock. We !> know better than to hold on to it during war times. We have been there before. We know when we’ve got enough—we also know when we’ve got too much. <► Therefore we have decided to inaugurate at once the GREATEST > SACRIFICE SALE | Os New and Fashionable Clothing, Hats and Furnishings ever shown in the city of Macon. Some of our friends have said you can’t make such a sale a success <► during the summer. Perhaps we couldn’t if we were offering winter Clothes; but we will stake our reputation on it that the prices we have made will move this • > stock of Summer Clothing and Furnishings in short order. We had hoped to get more for them after the season is over. In all our experience we have never been forced to make such prices right at the beginning of the season, as it were.

When we SAY Sacrifice Sale we MEAN Sacrifice Sale :> In all that the term implies. The sacrifice is ours; the gain is yours. We have been led to do this for two reasons. First, because the war has paralyzed the S Clothing business. Second, because we are going to make a * CHANGE IN BUSINESS At once, and circumstances force us to reduce stock without further ado. This is the whole story in a nutshell. You gain what we lose. We can’t afford to hold the goods. You can’t afford to miss such bargains. So that our interests are mutual in this case. If you have to borrow the money in order to take advantage of these p ices, it will pay you to do so. Watch The News every day and we will tell you more about it as the sale proposes. j Dm WlAlll.

HERE'S HEALTH FOREVERYONE Two Suggestions That Carry With Them Great Value Just Now. JUST AN HOUR’S RIDE Will Put You Where Sickness is Not Known—Those Who Can’t Get Away Can Drink Indian Springs Water at Home. " All who can do so should get away for a time.” say the physicians. This is all right for those who can. but it offers the stay-at-homes no consolation. How are they to keep healthy during this most remarkable summer? It is, undoubtedly, a. serious question for everyone. Some are already leaving; but many can’t get away. There are still others who don’t like to send their fami lies so far away from home. The News heard a suggestion this morn ing that will interest everyone, and at the risk of doing some free advertising, it pro poses to make it public: for it believes-the suggestion is of the greatest value to Ma con people just at this time. "Why don't you tell the people to run up to Indian Spring?” said Mr. T. C. Parker this morning. Now that 'Mr. Parker is in clsarge* of the famous Wigwam, of course Endian Spring is uppermost in his mind —though he is too good a fellow to be entirely selfish in making the suggestion. Nor would that lessen the value of it. It is just as Mr. Parker says. Macon is peculiarly fortunate in having such a de lightful health resort so near by. It is said to be a fact that if one will drink Indian Spring water during the first few weeks of summmer he can withstand al most any ills, so it follows a few weeks at Indian Spring just now would settle the question of health for many who are now < worried over their condition. . . ” Xside from being the greatest health | resort -in the state.” said Mr. Parker, “it I is so convenient. Why, do you know. ' sometimes 1 have wondered that our peo- | pie have not built summer cottages up there, a~ ’he people of New York city do ; In the .Adirondack*. No city in the South I is more fortunately situated in this re spect. Why. people come to Indian Spring every year from points four and five hun dred miles away, just to be restored to health, while some of our people remain . sick and debili’ated all through the sum mer rather than run up there for a day . or two. "But I think there will be a change this | year.” he said. “Already we have a num- j her of guests, and I am receiving numer- ' ous inquiries from Macon people every day. I I tell them we are prepared to take care of all of them, and we don't try to rob them, either. Os course, I have a selfish interest in Indian Spring, hut if I didn’t I would advise the people of Macon to flock there right now for health.” A SUMMER COLONY THE THING. There is a sood deal in what Mr. Parker says. It is a thing that should-appeal to everyone. Health is the all-important tning just now. and it does seem that when it is within thirty or forty miles of us. al most at our doors as it were, we would step out and get it. Did you ever think how easy it would be for the peonle of Macon to spend their entire summer at MACON NfWS THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 2 iBgS Indian 'Spring. Even now the schedules are so arranged that our business men can run up every night and back to busi ness next morning. This is what people in nearly all other cities do when a resort is so nearby. It would seem, as Mr. Parker says, that the people of .Macon would form a sort of summer colony at Indian Spring. If they should do this a shoo-fly train could, no doubt, be secured to run direct from Macon to the hotel, and railroad fare could toe brought down to a minimum, say forty or fifty cents a day for the round trip. Surely such a project should appeal to our people. But, in the meantime, they have an op portunity to spend the (present summer at the -Wigwam at comparatively little ex pense. for Mr. Parker has arranged very reasonable rates. The schedules are sat isfactory, and those who are disturbed over present health conditions in Macon should investigate at once. That’s what many are already doing, and the outlook is that the lagest crowd of Macon people ever seeen at Indian Spring will be there this summi r. WILL SELL WATER HERE ■While talking with Mr. Parker this morning The News learned of another ar rangement that is of importance to the people of Macon. Mr. Parker, in view of the present condition of Macon's water supply, has arranged to sell and deliver Indian Spring water to Macon people every day. The water will be sent down from the spring every morning, and will be de livered to customers before 10 o’clock. Heavy gallon and half-gallon bottles and demijohns have been secured for the pur pose, and the water will be sold at a rea sonable rate, the main charge being for delivery. This is decidedly a good move and will solve the water problem to a very consid erable extent. It is. something to have pure sulphur water delivered at your resi dence or office every morning. Many would consider it a godsend. So that 'Mr. Parker must be given credit for having solved the health problem for those who can get away as well as the stay-at-homes. The former can find health and recreation and wholesome amusement within an hour’s ride of Macon, and the latter can drink the finest sulphur water throughout the summer by dropping Mr. Parker a card or telegraphing their wants. Mr. Parker is not far wrong when he says Macon is peculiarly fortunate and is to be congratulated on these things. fae- ' . WORK OF A GENIUS. F Dewey in Oil As Pictured by Linf.o, the Artist. It is safe to say no city in the South can boast of a sign writer and artisrt superior to 'Mr. G. AV. Lingo, whose excellent work now ornaments many of the b andsomest stores and offices in Macon. Mr. Lingo’s latest production is an im mense picture of Admiral Deway, done in front of his place on Cherry street. It is a perfect likeness of the now famous ad miral. and the execution far excels what might be expected in a work -of.this char acter. Mr. Lingo has turned ’ho' production to good account by making it advertise his own business. He gets off the inevitable pun in this way: "Dew-ey paint signs? Well, I guess yes.” This unique art sign has attracted much attention, even more than did the same ar tist’s picture of the bzitleship 'Maine. It is not generally Known, but it is a fact that Mr. Lingo ey e ete quite as much in portrait painting as at sign writing, and he is prepared qo take order? for oil por traits at a reafqnable price.

Lazaar A Sass’ drug ANALYSIS OF MACONJ WATER Prof. Sellers, of Mercer, Gives Expert Testimony as to Its Puritv. IF NOT THE WATER, WHAT? Board of Health Should Find Out- Must be Some Explanation of So Much Sickness As promised yesterday, The News pre sents today an analysis of the water now being used by the people of Macon. This analysis is of the greatest impor tance at this time, ‘because of the fact that so many people have attributed the pres ent unhealthfulness e>f the city to its water supply. The analysis given below, which was made by Professor Sellers, of ‘Mercer Uni versity, shows that the water is abso lutely pure, and in, no sense unhealthy. It is "safely above suspicion,” says Pro fessor Sellers. This indicates that the real cause for the present epidemic of sickness lies else where? Then where? This is what the people want to know. It is the Board of Health’s business to find out. The theory has been made that the trouble is with/Tle faulty construction of the sewers—or, at least, with the openings, which are con sidered by many an objectionable feature. It is clearly the duty of the ißoard of Health to investigate this point, that the people may know whether or not they are breathing poisonous gases day after day. It is understood that the Board of Health hoots at the idea, but this will not satisfy the people. The people will want thorough investigation, scientific testimony—physi cians have even been known to disagree among themselves, you know, proving that they are not infallible. (Certainly the Board of Health should be able to locate the cause of all this sickness —and to rem edy it. Are the sewer openings dangerous? Are the sewers properly flushed? Is the city in a proper sanitary condi tion ? All of these questions are opened up by Professor Seller’s analysis, which proves that the trouble cannot be attributed to the water supply. If not the water, then what? Professor Seller’s analysis is as fol lows: * Macon, Ga., Jurre, 2 W 1898. Editor of the Evening News, Macon. Ga., Dear Sir: At the request of Mr. MeEwen Johnston and Dr. W. W. Carter of the city Hospital. I send you the following analysis of the water of the Macon water works : First sample (unfiltered muddy water). (1) Time of analysis, May 27, 28, 1898. (2) Place of collection, hydrant of Mer cer University. (3) Color, clay yellow. (4) Odor, clay (odor of sprinkled dust.) (5) Chemical analysis expressed in parts per 100,000. (a) Solid matter in suspension, 24,000. (b) Solid matter in solution, 10,000. (c) Oxygen absorbed (in 3 hours), .0050. fd) Free ammonia, .0006. (e) Albuminoid ammonia, .0018. (f) Nitrogen as uitiates and utrites .2500. g) Chlorine, 3,3000. (h) Temporary hardness, .9500. «. (i) Permanent hardness, 4,200. Second sample (refiltered through clay filter.) (1) Time of anaylsis, 'May 28, 1898. (2) Place of collection, hydrant at Prof. G. AV. Macon’s, Tattnall square. 3) Color, clear. (4) Odor, none. (5) Chemical analysis expressed in parts per 100,000. (a) Solid matter in suspension, .1000. (ib) Solid matter in solution, 9,8900. (c) Oxygen absorbed (in 3 hours) .0020. (d) Free ammonia, .0006. (e) ‘Albuminoid ammonia .0016. This was not examined for nitrogen as nitrates and nitrites, chlorine and hard ness. EXPLANATIONS. “Solid matter in suspension” has refer ence to mud, organisms, etc., which are not dissolved. “Solid matter in solution” refers to vari ous salts, particularly limestone, gypsum, and common salt held in solution. “Oxygen absorbed” is the oxygen sup posed to be consumed by decaying organic matter, but as other substances also ab sorb oxygen, this determination does not. represent the amount of organic matter. “Free ammonia” indicates the amount of ammonium salts in the water. These salts are usually the result of spontaneous putrefaction of organic matter. “‘Alibuinoid ammonia” is obtained by dis tilling nitrogenous organic matter with an alkaline solution of permonanate of potash. The English chemist, Wanklyn, demon strated that most nitrogenous organic compounds will yield either the whole or a definite portion of their nitrogen in the form of ammonia by this process. “Nitrogen as nitrates and nitrites” de notes oxidized organic nitrogen combined with the earthly bases. - “Free ammonia” and “nitrogen as nitro tes and nitrites” represent the decayed organic matter, while “albuminoid am monia” represents the living or undecom posed organic matter in the water. Chlorine as chlorides often accompanies organic impurities, though neither its presence nor- its amount necessarily indi cates contamir ation. The saline matter may be obtained from the sea or from the leachings of soils —in which cases the water may be potable; but if the chlorides come from sewerage, barnyards, or freshly plowed soils, they represent impurities. “Temporary hardness” is due to cal cium and magnesium carbonates held in solution by carbonic acid in the water. The water may be made “safe” either by boiling off the gaseous corbonic acid or by neutralizing it with lime, “Permanent hardness” denotes the pres ence of sulphates of calcium, magnesium, etc. There is no practical method in the arts for precipitating these salts. INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS. From a chemical standpoint, the water may be regarded as potable. The presence of yellow mud is of course objectionable— though probably only to the aesthetic taste. The amount of albuminoid ammonia is rather above the average gotten from river waters, but is safely below the limit of suspicious water. Probably the most interesting and curi ous fact shown by the two analysis was the failuree of the clay filter to extract organic matter . Compare the tw r o results: Albuminoid ammonia in muddy water, .0018. Albuminoid ammonia in filtered W’ater, .0016. This demonstrates that only 1-9 of the organic matter was extracted, and that the ordinary clay afford no safeguard against disease germs. I desire to add this word of explanation to the article on sanitation in yesterday’s issue of he News, in which I was quoted as testifying to the healthfulness of the city water: “I said I regarded the water as safe from a chemical standpoint. I have made no analysis for bacteria and do not know whether these are present or not. A chem ical analysis is not necessarily a test of the purity of water. The amount of or ganic matter might be quite small and yet be composed of a sufficient number of dis ease germs to render the water unsafe. This, however, is not often the case. The quantity of albuminoid ammonia is usually an index of the character of the water. Very respectfully, J. F. Sellers, Mercer University.
