CARD OF THANKS
From the President of the Public Library
Association.
To the Editor of The Evening News —
Pwrmit me through your columns, in behalf
of Macon’s Public Library, to thank you
and all those who rendered us such val
uable assistance in making the recent
Fourth of July celebration such a notable
one in the history of Macon and, indeed, I
might say in Georgia, for such prominent
men and competent judges as Colonel Nat
Harris declare that the recent Fourth of
July as celebrated at the Central City park
under the auspices of the library, was the
grandest day he ever saw, and he fervently
wished that all of his boys might have bben
present to have been impressed with the
spirit of the occasion, which will be among
the brightest memories of his life. From
the beginning of the exercises the interest
Increased until th® grand climax was
reached, when Governor Atkinson finished
the best speeoh he ever made in his life,
the typical American beauty, Miss Judd
unfurling the regimental flag, the radiant
belle, ißay receiving the the same and pre
senting it to his regiment, who in one
voice exclaimed that they would keep it
untarnished, and return it though shot and
shattered, to the citizens of Macon who
had given them their colors; the singing of
America by hundreds of children and thou
sands of soldiers and citizens, ex-Yankees
and exConfederates. At this point the
entire audience was carried away with the
wildest enthusiasm, and there could not
have been a more stirring scene enacted
anywhere on this glad day where the peo
ple were celebrating the natal day of the
(United States, unless it was there, when
Shafter’s men, after their magnificent
charge, although wounded and dying, sang
hto “Star Spangled Baner.” May the spir
it which was engendered on this great oc
casion grow and spread throughout our
land until in the name of humanity, and
in the name of civilization, Cuba is free,
and the brave sons of the South and (North
under one flag, have made the hisotry of
our counrty. if possible, greater than ever
before, and the Unite States is recognized
by the World a.s the greatest nation on the
face of the earth.
Geo. A. Smith.
President Macon Public Library.

DR, J. W, ROBERTS
. IS
Elected Yesterday and Ac
cepted this Morning the
Position
AS HEAD OF WESLEYAN.
A Man of Strength and Scholarship,
and Fully Capable of Filling the
Responsible Place
Rev. James William Roberts, D. <D., pas
tor of Trinity Methodist church of Atlan
ta, was yesterday elected president of Wes
leyan Female College.
Doctor Roberts is in the city today and
this morning formally accepted the ap
pointment.
He is now engaged in going over matters
of detail connected with the future work of
the college and will be in the city for a few
days.
The election seems to give general satis
faction to the members of the board of
trustees. Dr. Heidt, of Athens, one of the
leading members of the board said this
morning to a ‘News reporter that he
thought that Dr. Roberts would make an
ideal president for the institution.
Other members of the board expressed
themselves in the same strain.
Dr. Roberts is about forty years of age,
and during his work with the ministry ho
has occupied some of the most important
appointments in the North Georgia Con
ference.
He has been the pastor of Trinity church
for the past six years and during his pas
torate he has endeared himself very much
to the members of his congregation and the
people of the city generally.
Before entering the ministry and imme
diately afterwards (Dr. Roberts had expe
rience as a teacher as principal of the
Bailey Institute of Griffin and afterwards
as teacher of the West 'End school in At
lanta.
He is a graduate of Emory 'College, Ox
ford. He inaugurated the present loan
fund system at Emory and will follow up
that work with his well know energy
while at Wesleyan. Those who know him
best say that he is a man of profound
scholarship, possessed of tremendous en
ergy and of ample ability. In fact, he is
in every way fitted to hold the responsible
position of president of the college to
which he has been elected.
Dr. Roberts Is president of the board of
of education of the North eGorgia Confer
ence, and all through his career has been
closely identified with tho educational in
terests of the phiirch and of the state. He
is a man of the most pleasing address and
has the faculty of making his friends very
quickly and of holding them to him with
hooks of steel.
Mrs. Roberts is a most charming lady,
in every way fitted to fill the responsible
work of the wife of the president of such
a college. She is a daughter of Dr. Oslin,
of Gainesville. Dr. and Mrs. Roberts have
a delightful family who will be very hear
tily wleeomed to Macon.
While occupying the position of finan
cial agent for Emory College, Dr. Roberts
had ample opportunity to visit the patrons
of the colleges throughout Georgia and
Florida. He has a large acquaintance
throughout these states and it Is thought
his election will be of material benefit to
the college in a finacial way.
The board of trustees were asked to
change the bylaws of the college so as to
allow of the election of a lady president,
with a view to the selection of Mrs. Cobb
for that position, but they decided not to
make the change, it being the opinion of
the Board that it was the intention of the
founders of the institution that a 'Metho
dist minister should be the president of
the college.
But the election of Dr. Roberts will make
no change in the position now held by Mrs.
►Cobb and she will remain as one of the
pillars of the college, much to the satisfac
tion of its friends.
The board of trustees also received the
communication from the Alumnae Asso
ciation of the college with reference to the
proposed loan fund and took action hearti
ly endorsing it and outlining a plan for
the carrying into execution of the general
idea of the loan fund.
The board adjourned this morning
o'clock and a number of members left on
the morning trains for their homes. They
are well satisfied with the result of the
meeting and expressed themselves as con
fident that the future of Wesleyan is
brighter now than it has ever been in the
history of the institution.

COUNCIL MEETING.
The Paving Question Will Not Down—Rou
tine Business.
The aldermen of the city held a short
but interesting meeting Last night at the
usual time though nothing of importance
was done.
When resolutions were called for Aider
man Williams came up with a resolution
providing for the paving of Third and Mul
berry streets with 'asphalt. The paving
question had been dormant for so long a
time that the resolution came as a sur
prise. Aiderman Williams' resolution pro
vided that the contract for the paving of
these streets with asphalt be given -to the
Southern Asphalt Company as the lowest
bidders when blds were called for.
The passage of the resolution met with
opposition Xlderman Morgan, chairman of
the finance committee said that he thought
it was too soon to decide the question of
pavement for these streets and that it
might be wise for council to wait until the
condition of the paving fund after the
work on Cherry street is finished is known.
Aiderman Pearson asked tha-t resolution
be referred to the street and finance com
mittee.
Aiderman Williams opposed the course
proposed and wanted the matter disposed
of there and then. He said that the ques
tion of the material to be used on other
streets had been disposed of quite as
rapidly by council in other instances and
he wanted the ayes and nays on his reso
lution to see how council stood.
Aiderman Williams was supported by
Aiderman Huthnanee, who said that as the
people of Third street had petitioned for
asphalt they should be given what they
wanted.
Finally, however, the matter was dis
posed of under the resolution of Aiderman
Pearson and the resolution was referred.
The petition of the liquor dealers to be
exempted from the payment es the bast in
stallment of the license tax was reported
on adversely by the finance committee and
the dealers will have to pay up the $125 at
once.
The business men on Poplar street asked
that the spaces In the centre of the street
formerly used as parks be paved with ce
ment rock. This petition was referred to
the street committee.
A favorable report on the paving of
MACON JJEWS WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 6 189 S.
Third, Second, Walnut and Ocmulgee
streets beyond the paving district with
cement rock offered at the last meeting by
Alderman Pearson, was favorably reported
by the committee and not that section of
the town from Second to Fourth on these
streets will be improved with this mate
rial.
Major E. E. Winters having withdrawn
his petition for the changing of the street
car tracks of the Metropolitan Street Rail
way Company that matter was not re
ported by the committee to which it was
referred at the last meeting.
The Board of Health asked for extra
compensation for their work during the
epidemic of smallpox, but the finance com
mittee failed to see why the compensation
should be granted and the report was ad
verse.
A resolution was offered by Alderman
Damour providing for the paving of Third
and Second streets as far as Walnut with
the same material as is used on those
streets in the paving district was referred
to the finance committee.
A number of petitions for changes of
assessment were referred to the finance
committee.

Gallon Jug.
The revenue officers captured one of the
smallest stills ever seen in Macon yester
day in Dodge county.

some common reeds, a tin can which holds
about a quart and a wooden trough.
The still was made and operated by-
Warren Lawson, a negro who lived near
Chancey in Dodge scounty.
The still was on the bank of a creek
near Chancey, and was in operation every
day.
The still is a very interesting object as
it is so very small and simple. The capac
ity of the still is about one quart a day.

USURERS DO NOT
LIKE JIS CITY
It Has Been Made Too Hot for
Them by the Macon
News.
SUITS ARE BEING FILED
————————
By a Number of Negroes Claiming
the Whole Amount of Usuri
ous Interest.
The publication of the filing of a suit by
a Savannah negro in one of the usury
cases on which The News has had a good
deal to say will lend to the filing of a
number of similar suits in Macon.
The whole matter is attracting a good
deal of attention and the so-called loao
companies are moving away from Macon
as from a stricken city.
When a negro borrows two or three dol
lar, or perhaps five dollars, from a money
lender he has generally to give a mort
gage on from S2O to SSO worth of furniture
and perhaps more. Then he has to put in
a regular appearance from month to
month with the interest or his furniture
is levied on through some process in a
justice court.
Some of the justices are refusing now to
take this class of suits brought against
paupers, as they practically are. Some con
tinue to take them, however, and the re
sults in nearly all the cases are the same.
The unfartunate borrower may be sued for
$3 or $5. His furniture is then levied on
and taken away from him. A judgment
is rendered in favor of the plaintiff, the
money lender, for the amount, to which
the justice adds his costs amounting to
$3.50 to $4.50, and that is also collected
from the proceeds of the sale of the furni
ture. Seldom, if ever, does the furniture
bring more than (he amount of the claim,
together wish the magistrate’s cost, and
the victim is left out in the cold.
One justice of the peace said yesterday
that these money lending shops are worse
than policy lotteries. The policy lottery,
he said, only gets the negro for 10 cents,
while the money lender pulls his leg for
usurious interest every month, and finally
when he is unable to pay some small in
stallment, swoops down on him, and car
ries off all of his small earthly belongings.
The usury law, he said, is about the only
one which can reach the matter. Within
a year the borrower can sue for and re
cover all of the usurious interest he has
paid within that time, and the chances are
that there wjli in the future be less levy
ing on furniture and more of these suits
to recover usury.. At any rate this will
probably be done when the ignorant bor
rowers begin to understand their rights.
WILL FIGHT ALL THE RATES.
Water, Gas and Insurance Themos for ths
Chamber.
The iChamber of Commerce held a meet
ing yesterday at which a number of mat
ters of importance to iMacon were dis
cussed.
Among other things Mr. W. A. Doody
moved that a special committe be appoint
ed to make a thorough investigation, of the
water rate status in Macon and ascertain
whether or not the consumers are entitled
to a reduction in the water rate.
The chair appointed Messrs. W. A. Doody
George A. Smith and J. S. Jones on the
committee.
The merchants of the city propose to
make a fight on the charge of the express
and telegraph companies of one cent for
the internal revenue stamp on each pack
age and message. The secretary of the
board was on motion instructed to write
to the attorney general for an opinion on
the subject.
On motion of Mr. Frank L. Mallary,
Messrs. Edgar Wilson, Merrill Callaway
and Henry Horne were appointed a com
mittee to take up the matter of insurance
rates in IMacon. It is fated that these rates
are too high and much will depend on the
report of the committee as to whether a
fight will be made to secure a reduction.
The meeting was decidedly brisk and
proved the the Chamber is very much
alive,

Os a Wife Whose Husband
Wants to be a Hero.
The Soldiers’ Relief As sc (nation has work
to do at home.
Mrs. J. M. Simmone, wife of a member of
one of the Macon companies at Chicaka
mauga, is in a destitute condition and
starvation is at her door.
Her husband left her with four little
children, one of them an infant five weeks
old. She is penniless and absolutely with
out resources.
It is 'to be presumed that the husband
aq pr.ov aqs rvq; jarjaq aqi ut aaq rj-I
cared for by the home people, but pride
has kept her silent. Now her children are
crying for food.
She needs help and she needs it quickly.
Whatever may be the varied estimate as
to the course adopted by her husband, the
blame or the credit does not belong to her.
She is a woman left by her husband penni
less, hungry and with babies wailing for
food.
Prompt assistance must be forthcoming
for the sake of the wife and the babies.
The people of Macon have promised to
care for those who are left behind.

Receiver Tinsley says that the water is

the new station will prove satisfactory.
