SENATOR Reported That He Will Oppose Senator Bacon for the Next Ferm. Th' official returns of th** election held last Mondny now to nearly complete that no change is looked for ami the friend of all th< candidates have quit figuring. ('olomi Candler ha. carried ninety-nine counties for governor and the opposition ha- carried thirty-eight. All the six-vote and marly al) the four-vote counties are in th< camilcr column. H< will have 2458 di-legates in the convention, while Berner will have fifty-six ami Atkinson twenty six. The Savannah *News of yesterday morn ing contains a long story to the effect that Hon. Fleming <l. dußignon will op pose Senator Bacon for re-election and that in return for services rendered in the lit.- gubernatorial campaign. Colonel Candler will help him make the race. In part, the story says: “Camlhi'. overwhelming victory in Monday - primary election is regarded in Savannah a having much more signifi cance than merely rurfnee signs would in dicate. Its effect on the future of state polite . i < xpected to he widespread and poti nt. Especially marked, it is believed lay his friends, will be its influence on the political future of Hon Fleming G. du- Itignon A few weeks ago Tom Watson, after declining to be the Populist candi dal.' for governor, is credited with having said to an acquaintance: " ‘Tlie coming primary election of the Democratic party is to determine more titan who shall lie I lie next governor of (hoigin It i to decide. In a very large meaure. who shall be the next Democrat • hiied to tlie United States senate.’ "Mr ditißignon's friends in Savannah and dotibllesi throughout the state look upon Hie ii ult of Monday’s contest as having materially strengthened him as a candidate for tlie senatorship two years hence against Hon. A. O. Ba'on who, it is ixpeeted. will come before the legislature of dliti.O for re-election. Mr. dußignon’s rtUiport of Mr. Candler n.Uurally drew him close to the supporters of that candi date, who were especially numerous and influential in middle and north Georgia. Mr. dußignon'- services are not apt to be overlooked or forgotten an 1 his position as a candidate for senator will be greatly Improved by Mr. Candler’s brilliant suc cess, "'Allen ]>. Candler, said a Savannahlan yesterday, who is acquainted with the next governor of Georgia, ‘is not a man who lacks appreciation or ■ peedily forgets ser vices rendered. He unquestionably real izes that Mr. dußignon’s support and the aid of his friends throughout the state, and especially in south and southwest Georgia, were powerful factors in making his victors so complete. It is no secret to Air. Candler and his friends nor to the people at large that Mr. dußignon’s am bition i< to . cure a si at in the United States senate.

In my opinion, be will from now on be regard! d as an opponent of Senator Bacon. He is stronger today than ever before in Georgia politics and has every reason to anticipate that he can join his warm friend. Mr. Clay, in the senate chamber when Mr. Bacon’s t. rm expires.” _ Tlie story was n< w. of a Spanish sort to everybody in town, including the two gen tlemen most concerned. A representative of the Atlanta Constitution handed it to Mr. dußignon yesterday afternoon just as the litter was almut to board a train for Athens, and, after reading it through, Mr. dußignon said: ‘‘There is not a word of truth in that. I have not talked about the senator, hip to Colonel Candli r or to any.:>ody else, and I think those who know both Colonel Cann ier and myself will hardly suspect that we have entered into any such a deal. I supported the colonel because I believed him to be the best man for tho office he sought, and I am glad that an overwhelm ing majority of the state thought as I did. But I am not a candidate for anything and have not asked anybody’s support for any thing. The senatorship is a long ways off yet.” Later in* the day the same story was shown to Cojonel Candler, and he smiled as he read it. Then he said: “Neither Mr. dußignon nor any of his friends have ever mentioned to me the subject of the United Slates senatorship. The article in question was evidently written by' an ardent friend of Mr. du- Bignon who drew conclusions, not from information, but from surrounding cir cumstances, as he saw them. So far as I am concerned, neither the senatorship nor any' other office, save only the governor ship. has played any part in the campaign just closed. J haye studiously avoided complicating Jt in any way with any other office or candidacy." MRS, R. J. M’GRIFF Was Buried Yesterday Afternoon at Rose Hill Cemetery. The funeral services of 'Mrs. Annie Lou Reynolds McGriff, wife of R. J. McGriff, of Hawkinsville, were held yesterday after noon at 4 o’clock at her mother’s home on Washington avenue. Rev. J. L.

GEORGE PAYNE WILLLOSE JOB Commissioner Nisbett Says Openly That ths State Chemist Must Go, 100 MUCH 10 Founts And Tried to Play on Both Sides, Says the Commissioner Who Controls the Office. The following interesting story appears in the Constitution this morning: State Chemist George F. Payue, In an alleged over-zealous effort to cinch his job for the next two years', has thrown himself completely out of a position. Colonel R. T. Nesbitt, the commissioner of agriculture, has quietly announced to his friends taut Mr. Payne will have to vacate the posi tion as state chemist. As .the position is entirely in the hands of the commissioner, and as Colonel Nesbitt considers himself highly justified in firing Mr. Payne, the chemist will soon have a successor. Too much politics is said to bfc responsi ; ble for the had fortune that has befallen i Mr. Payne. His venture into the political i field is also responsible for the flood of in ! dignation that is overflowing everything tn the department of agriculture at ‘he Capi tol. Mr. Payne, it is charged, played a double hand in the great game of politics, which ended with the show-down last Mon day. Colonel Nesbitt’s friends say it has been proved that Payne was a Nesbitt man when with the Nesbitt crowd, and tnat he was equally as enthusiastic for Stevens when wjth Stevens’ friends. It is charged that his [dan was to make himself certain of his present position, no matter whp might win for commissioner of agriculture. Colonel Nesbitt’s friends openly charge that Payne was in Houston county work ing against him, while Colonel Nesbitt supposed hirp to he exerting hlmsejf in his favor. Payne says he went to Houston county to work for Colonel NeSbitt, accord ing to certain statements, but anyway Houston gave Colonel Stevens a majority of 400. According to Colonel Nesbitt, Payne is a yerjfable Judas. He charges that tfte chemist betrayed him. The commissioner placed absolute confidence in Mr. Payne, and implicitly trusted that the influence exerted by Mr. Payne in his behalf would .benefit him greatly at the election. Now he charges that Payne, while avowing the closest and most sincere frlendsh'p, be trayed him to Colonel Stevens. Mr. Payne loses his job for the remainder of his term, which would have continued so October, but he may also have wrecj<e.| himself with the incoming administration. The plan, as detailed by a gentleman who claims to be familiar with the facts, is as follows: “Mr. Payne wept to Colonel 0. R. Ste vens and told him he was an earnest advo cate of his election, and was just as -ac tively opposed to the re-election of Colo nel Nesbitt. He showed Colonel Stevens a list of counties, and said he could defeat Colonel Stevens in all of them, 'but as he was for him. he would not do so. He said he would carry all of the counties in the list for Colonel Stevens, and begged that Colonel Stevens would consider him on an equal footing with tlie other candi dates for state chemist. Colonel Stevens, of course, promised to consider the appli cation as he would the others. “Payne thought that Colonel Stevens would be elected, but was not certain enought to cut loose from Golpnel Nesbitt. He wanted to ride both horses so as to be sure of his job. It is claimed that he work ed hard all day for Colonel Stevens on election day, and at the same time Colonel Nesbitt had his assurance that he would work for him." Colo'nel Nesbitt and his friends are highly offended at Payne's alleged miscon duct. and it is said that the men who make up Colonel Stevens' strongest backing ad mire Mr. Payne no more than do Colonel Nesbitt’s friends. A gentleman close to Colonel Nesbitt said yesterday that a new state chemist would be in office within a few days. CALL IS COMING For Another Regiment of Volunteers From Georgia. The call for Georgia’s third regiment of state volunteers will be made upon Gover nor Atkinson tomorrow. The governor re ceived telegraphic notification yesterday that the call would be issued by the war department Saturday. This removes the last element of doubt from the situation. The delay in calling for the regiment made some of the inter ested parties believe that the call would not be made. It is now certain that nearly a hundred Georgians will be given commis sions, and that a regiment of patriots will be given an opportunity to slaughter the Spaniards, Governor Atkinson will issue his proc lamation calling for volunteers immediate ly upon receiving the call from Washing ton. He will do this as a matter of form, for there is no necessity, as enough men to form a regiment have already been of fered to Colonel Candler. The names of the officers who will command the Third Georgia regiment will then be announced. The governor has matured his plans for organizing the regiment and officering the command. He has been flooded with appli cations for commissions and is so overbur dened with the hundreds of requests that come every day that he hardly knows where to begin. It was suggested yester day that the best plan to make the ap pointments would ibe to first issue commis sions to the dozen or so of men in the state who haven’t applied and in this way re ward modesty. At least one civilian, or a man w r ho does not belong to the state military, will go as officer in each company in the new regi ment. This much has definitely been de termined. The call to the state will be to the civilians and will not be confined to the military. The first call gave the militia the preference, but this last call is to the people without preference. Notwithstanding that the call will not be to the military, it is expected that more military men will go than went under the first call. Colonel Candler will carry a large part of the Fifth Regiment, and Col onel Usher Thomason will carry a greater part of the Third regiment. Then there will be several independent companies, made up of the military of the different parts of the state. The officers of the Fifth regiment are to be given a good showing, the governor says. At a conference already held nearly all of the officers have tendered their serv ices to go with. Colonel Candler. The offi cers will be accepted, and it is expected that they will carry the majority of their men. Among the men who are spoken of for captains’ places is Harvey Johnson. 'Mr. Johnson has 'been making an effort to go as major under the new regiment, but it is said that he will be offered a commis sion as captain. Colonel John S. Candler held a long con ference with the governor yesterday after noon. and it was said that at the meeting the names of the twelve captains were de termined upon. The two were together for quite a while. Pay your second install ment of city tax by June 15 and save tax execution. MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE io TB9B. What is Going On in Society. I* is always interesting to hear of new fields for women to work in, and the fol lowing from the New Orleans Picayune shows how much confidence Is placed in one woman by the officials of a prominent railway: “For the first time in the history of American railroading, a woman, or rather a ’girl, has been made train dispatcher of an important line. The young lady in question is Miss Edith Jarnagin, who has just been appointed train dispatcher of the Chattanooga Southern by General Manager Hoskins. Strictly speaking, a dispatcher is a telegraph operator, though with duties far transcending those ordi narily performed by an operator. Miss Jarnagin is only lb now. She is a Georgia girl. She was a master of Morse and drawing a salary as a telegraphed at 14. Two years ago she removed with her pa rents to Chattanooga, Tenn., and entered the telegraphic service ot the cjueen and Crescent. One year ago she entered the general manager's office of the Cnatta pooga Southern, and General Manager Hoskins, who is himself an old telegrapher and thorough railroad man, gave her every opportunity to develop the talent which has just been recognized by her promotion U> chief train dispatcher. Miss Jaruagin is a very beautiful and amiable girl, and in her leisure hours is quite a society favorite. It is no joke to be a train dis patcher. To some people the title may be meaningless; railroad, people know that it denotes an official upon whom rests al most the sole responsibility for the safety of many human lives. The train dis patcher is a porsonage. The engineer and conductor can manage their own trains, but the dispatcher .manages them all. Every railroad has its time schedule, but if there be many trains over the line, per haps a majority, and sometimes all of them, are off the schedule time. Then the dispatcher becomes a living schedule. Not a wheel can be turned without his special order. By the reports from the operators along the route he knows the position of every train, the capacity of every engine, and cf every man; he knows the accom modation of every siding, the exact topog raphy of the road. In his complete fitness the train dispatcher combines knowledge of telegraphy, infallible mathematical gifts, tact, a cool nerve and memory. Every train is sped from starting point to destination by th? gultUnee o r that com manding general or railroad traffic.” * * * The Macon Soldiers Relief Association met yesterday afternoon, with a decided increase of membership. Mrs. S. R. Jaques declined the office of president as she will be absent from th? city during the suinwr- Mrs. U. B. Uhapmai is the presiding officer for the present, and a committee was appointed to nominate a president. This committee consists of Mrs. Emory Winship, Mrs. Robert Cole man and Mrs. Sam Singleton. It was decided to have a festival on Coleman’s hill next Friday afternoon, and another meeting of the Relief Association will be held next Tuesday ufteppppp al 6 o’clock. Miss Laura Anderson, of Macon, always a welcome visitor to this city, was the guest of her brother, Captain Clifford An derson, last night. Mjss Anderson will re turn later to spend the summer in this city.—Atlanta Journal. Mr. and Mrs. S, R. Jaques, Master Ran dolph Jaques and Miss Constance Jaques, have moved out to their country home for the summer. ♦ * • Mrs. Joseph Singleton and children leaves soon for Talbotton to visit rela tives. ABEL-JENKINS. Two Popular Young People Made Man and Wife. At Centenary church at 8:30 o’clock last night Miss Julia Abel was married to Mr. Claren'ce Jenkins. 'Both of the young people are popularly known in a large circle in this city and the otccgsion of the wedding brought out a number of their friends. The bride, who is the daughter of Mr. William A'bel, one of Macon's best citi zens, was becomingly attired in a gown of white organdy and looked very beautiful as she entered the church. The groom is in the employ of the gov ' ernment in the Macon postof'fice and is a young man of sterling worth and de served popularity among his friends and associates in the office. Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins will be followed through life by the good wishes of a host of riends. BRYAN-MINOR. A Pretty Wedding at the Christian Church Yesterday Evening. At the Christian church yesterday even ing Miss Fannie Bryan, of Macon, and Mr. J. T. Minor, of Valdosta, were married by Rev. H. C. Combs, the pastor of the church, assisted by the Rev. C. W. Minor, of Valdosta, a brother of the groom. The bride is one of the most charming of Macon’s younger set and the groom is open to the congratulations that have been showered on him by the friends of the young lady who greatly admire and res pect her. The wedding w r as a very brilliant one and was largely attended, the church be ing crowded to the doors. It w r as one of the prettiest weddings ever seen in that church and the bride was one of the most beautiful that Macon has ever sent away with regret to grace a sis ter town. GAME IS OFF University of Virginia Cannot Come Here to Play Ball With Mercer. The games of baseball between the Uni versity of Virginia and Mercer will not be played. A letter was received this morning by Mr. Bruce Jones stating that on account of sickness of three of the Virginia team the game would have to be postponed for this year. This is a great disappointment to the Mercer boys who were confident of a vic tory over the Virginians. MRS. WRIGHT’S FUNERAL. Took Place This Morning-Most Impressive Ceremony. The funeral of Mrs. Randolph Wright, which took place this morning from the residence, -was attended by a large num ber of sorrowing friends. The services were read by Rev. R. R. White, of the First Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. Mr. Morris, of the Tatt nall Square church. “Asleep in Jesus,” was beautifully sung at the close of the service at the house by Mrs. Ed Schofield. The remains were followed to the grave by many people. Few deaths in Macon have given more universal sorrow than this. It was unexpected, and the youth and popu larity of Mrs. Wright added to the inten sity erf the sorrow that has been almost universally felt. . . The deepest sympathy is felt and ex pressed for the young widower md his lit tle child, whose grief is greater than any one can know. CIRCULAR FOR FRUITGROWERS Will be Sent Out bv the Com mittee Stating the Whole Situation. MH TAKE THEIR CHOICE, A Prominent Grower Says That the Railroads are Going to Run the Fruit Industry, The committee having in charge the question of the refrigerator car to be used ’by the fruit growers during the coming season are in session again today at the Brown House. They will draw up a circular to be sent out to the growers all over the state, in which they will outline the situation and will give the prices of the competing lines. They will put the whole matter before the growers as the report of the commit tee and will eave it to the growers them •elves to patronize any line of refrigerator cars that they may desire. I* is no. protable, however, that the growers will accept the offer made by the Armon people view of the fait that the p-1 tes askel ty them are very oas> l erably in advance of the prices chat will be charged by the other lines that come into competition. The committee will, however, state to the growers that when they have taken their choice if they decide to take the cars of other companies than the Armour peo ple,. and the Central railroad refruses to take those cars, the fruit growers will fight the barb’ of the grower who has been te fused the privilege by the Central of taking the most economical method if shipping his fruit. • - • Ope of the most promient growers in the state said this morning to a News re porter that notwithstanding the fact that the growers have been working hard for the past eight years and have had many disappointments and the crop this year promised well, the action of the railroads in scooping all the sugar threatens to so dishearten the growers In the state that the peach growing industry in the state will be completely killed. He said that the fact that the railroads were about to make an effort to gouge the growers to the tune of $25,000 would have an incalculable influence for bad on the industry, and that it would drive away in vestors by the thousand, “This is Georgia’s opportunity,” he said, “and if the railroads are going to act the hog, they med-expect no mercy from the people of the state. They do not deserve it. They have come among us monopoliz ing and combining, and have told us that it was necessary for them lb combine in order that the stock folders might get any thing oat of it. But here eqmes the first year wh rq t-'C fruit glowers of the state have had an opportunity to do anything for themselves and the railroads have gob bled the profits, or they propose to do so, relying on. their strength and thinking that they have the newspapers of the state sufficiently muzzled to prevent an outcry, but we are thankful that the Macon News is ready to fight the battle, and you can rest assured that the people of the state will appreciate the stand that this paper is taking in their interests and that the fight will be a winning one. “The railroad combination has not done wisely to arouse the fruit growers to ac tion, fqr they will find that they have made a great mistake and have run against a snag.’ NO STRING ON THEM. The American Dental Parlors, iDrs. Young and Lanier, (graduates of the best dental institutions of th s country,) do not. belong to any dental trust. They have never overcharged their patrons, hence have no reduction to make in their prices. These gentlemen started out with prices based on the low price of cotton, ((he sta ple commodity of the country,) which has brought to their elegant parlors hundreds who heretofore have been the overcharged victims of the dental profession.

Ben Davis, another negro, charged with the some offense at another office was also found guilt and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Wall Street Beys Hava a New Game. The fnii.ll boys dow n in Wall street and neighboring thoroughfares have a new game which they call ‘guessing.” One of them takes u cent, turns it over on its back, and the other players guess its date. If any of them comes within three years of the date, the holder pays each of the lucky guessers a cent. Those who fail to guess within three years of the date pay the holder of the piece a cent each. All the players in the game rub their fingers over the back of the cent. They say that if it is rough it has not been coined long, and that it is probably not more than a year or two old. If the cent feels smooth, the players hold that it has been made so by much handling, and that it waa mint ed a number of years ago. The boys who win the most money at the game are those who have the most delicate touch and from much experience at playing the game can come pretty near to guessing the age of the cent by just rubbing their fingers over the back of it. Now and then one of the boys will fool the players by holding out a newly made cent which he has made smooth by sandpapering or some other process.—New York Tribune. As They See Uu From England. Here is one of the fairy teles about American customs that find credence in England. It is from one of the leading so ciety weeklies: “The professional brides maid is one of the latest transatlantic in stitutions. Whether from unwillingness to incur expense or to receive the cost of a dress from the bride’s family, the young ladies who belong to the creme de la creme of New York society are no longer avail able for this purpose. Some say they are not invariably up to the accepted standard of beauty. So it comes about that a good looking, graceful girl may earn <3V and all expenses for appearing at one of the fashionable matrimonial ceremonies of Fifth avenue. The other day a fair bride was followed to church by no fewer than 15 hired virgins to bear her company. An exceptionally charming young lady can command even a bigger remuneration, and one of the most successful of these femi nine acolytes is said to expect at least f 100. She has officiated on 200 occasions and saved s2<j.oOO, so that her own turn may come very soon.” * Pay your second install ment of taxes by June 15, and save tax execution. Notes Taken On the Run.
