RAILROADS
IN POLITICS
Circular Issued by Achison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Road
Much Discussed Here.
CENTRAL TAKES NO ACTION.
Officials Say that They Have Never
Found it Necessary to Issue a
Circular to Their Men.
The circular letter recently issued by the j
Atchison, Topeka and Sante he Railroad,
dealing with politics in relation to its em- f
ployiha- at trailed considerable attention |
in railroad circles throughout the country. |
The 'Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fe issued
originally a notice forbid.ling Us employes
to take any part in politics.
This caused a sensation, and to show
that lu orders had been misinterpreted a
second circular was issued by the railroad
Jn which it said:
"It in not the intention to restrict the
exercise of individual rights, and there ht
no Objection to tin free and full expression
of opinion nor to membership in political
organizations.
"It ie expected that every officer or em
ploy. will act a- his reason may dictate in
any public niatt r; but the principle does
not require .ie acceptance of places of
profit or honor, and thu neglect of the
company's business on suvb accounts will
not be tolerated.
It will not be difficult for any officer or
employe to properly draw the line between
aia duties to tihe company and to his coun
try; he will constantly tear in mind that
bin views upon every subject and his fair
expression at. the polls, the primaries, or
elsewhere, are matters with which the
eaompany hie. not ting whatever to do; but
the company ugh fully demands that no
officer or employe .-hall accept any public
office, or take part In the affairs of polit
ical organization: as will ehue.r interfere
with the perform.ui. c of his particular du
ties to the company, or tend to place the
•company in the false position ol apearing
to tie itself engaged in polities.
Inquiry at the offices or the railroad sys
tems show that they have never issued any
instructions or order* relative to the part
their employes mav or may not take in
politics.
In several campaigns, it will be remein
ber.sl, railroad employes, organized as rail
road clubs, in the interest of one or another
candidate for office.
No objection was made to the men tak
ing as active a part in politics as they
might desire, some of them were officers
in political organizations or ran for office.
The only way in which any cognizance has
been taken of jroliti. , by the railroads here
Jhw been an order that polities must not be
disemsed in the shops or when the men are
at wcrk. that being done to prevent any in
terruption of wor k by personal wranglkigs.
"The circular of the Atchison, Topeka
and Suite Fe Itpfelroad is to my mind a
very good one." said an officer of the
Central. ‘‘There is nothing in it that any
one can object to. and it voices what every
one charged with the management of a
railroad must consider as eminently proper
advice to give employes.”
The formal transit r of the stock of the
Boyden Air Brake Company to the West
inghouse Air Brake Company, which pur
chased it for $900.000, will take place short
ly Tht Westinghou -o company will issue
3,000 shares of new .stock to pay for the
purchase of the Boyden patent.
Since the beginning of the current month
trail ic on the W* .sietii roads has been
steadily declining. Western farmers are
too busy harvesting their wheat crop to
make any shipments . It is not expected
that the shipments will be heavy again
until about September 1. ,
President Fish, of the Illinois Central,
believes that 'the stamp tax on bills of lad
ing will yield a revenue of $2,000,000 for the
government.
The Chicago Great Western is about to

THAT STAMP TAX.
Postmasters Are Now Warned About Anoth
er Knotty Point.
The qUeslion that seems to be agitating
the minds of the postmasters throughout
the country just now is whether or not
checks drawn on their banks of deposit
for the payment of 'the salaries of their
employes are subject to the special stamp
act.
in a question raised by the postmaster
of Brooklyn, 'N. Y., as to whether the
liecks ou his bank of deposit, with
which he pays his employes their salaries,
are subject to tax under Schedule A of
the stamp act of June 13, the commis
sioner of revenue, N. B. Scott, has made
the ruling 'that under said act a stamp
must be affixed to each of these checks,
The following instructions have been
received here:
“Checks drawn by a United States mar
shal ,or any other disbursing officer,
against funds standing to their official
credit in a United States depository, do
not require sitamps.”
Besides this Postmaster Hertz has the
following instructions from the first as
sistant postmaster general in relation to
the use of stamps: “Drafts or checks used
for public business, which show that they
are drawn by a postmaster in favor of a
postmaster, or endorsed by a postmaster
in his official capacity, do not require a
revt nue stamp, being exempt from tax.”

ONLY THE BEST
ATTRACTIONS
Change of Policv in the Man
agement of the Academy
of Music this Year,
GOOD LISI ALREADY
Os Booking for the Academy of Mu
sic for the Coming Season-
Only the Best,
The bookings for the Academy of 'Music
for the season which opens in September
or in about sixty days shows that so far
Macon is assured of the best list of at
tractions brought here in many a day.
Manager Horne has adopted a new pol
icy in connection with the house for the
season. It insures nothing but good at
tractions.
“I will not have as many attractions as
I have had in past seasons,” said Mr.
Horne this morning, ‘‘but those that I do
book will all be first-class. I will run no
risks. The patrons of the house may rest
assured that the attractions are good and
that they are not asked to pay for any
thing not well worth the money. It will
be seen from .those already booked what
the character of the attractions is.
“No I will book no popular price shows,
nor need there be any fear that those for
which regular prices are charged are worth
any less money than is asked for them.
“The house will be nun strictly as a first
class theatre allowing no second-class at
tractions. I believe that in this way the
public will give Che 'house better patron
age.”
The combination of Louis James, Mme.
Rhea and Frederick Warde, which was re
cently effected by Managers Wagenhalls &
Kemper, and exploited as the “great star
triumvirate,” has undergone an important
change in its personnel, namely, the with
drawal of Mme. Rhea on account of serious
illness, which will necessitate her perma
nent retirement from the stage. The “star
triumvirate” will, however, be a reality’—
as Wagenhals & Kemper immediately en
gaged Kathryn Kidder, of “Sans Gene”
fame and the triumvirate will now be
known as the James-Kidder-Warde com
bination. Miss Kidder • will play “Lady
Teazle” in a “School of Scandal,” “Lady
Macbeth,” “Ophelia,” “Desdemona,’’
“Portia,” etc. The combination is re
garded assbeing materially strengthened
by the substitution of Miss Kidder. Com
plete scenic productions for each play will
be provided, and the best legitimate com
pany obtainable will suport the three stars.
The absolute cleanliness and wholesome
ness of Klaw & Erlanger’s “Jack and the
Beanstalk” Company is what has made
that extravaganza such a marvellous suc
cess. Il is an immense production, and the
piece is interpreted by a company of very
nearly one hundred persons.

MET YESTERDAY
In the Parlors of the Library
—Manv New Members
Enrolled.
The Soldiers’ Relief Association held an
enthusiastic meeting in .the Library par
lor yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Mallory
Taylor presiding.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read and adopted.
The clothing committee reported its
business satisfactorily despatched within
the given time. The ladies of the asso
ciation wish to return sincere thanks to
the great number of ladies who gave such
prompt and ready assistance in this work
There were more offers of aid than there
were bandages required. Two ladies, with
their own hands, made ninety bandages
and were quite willing to make more had
there been more to make. The ladies of
the association are grateful to find that
they have the co-operation of the entire
community and are deeply grateful there
for.
The main business of yesterday’s meet
ings was >the discussion of hospital needs
at Camp Price and arrangements 'to make
all necessary arrangements for the sick
soldiers in the home camp. Sheets and
pillow cases, towels, etc., will be furnished
the hospital ward as rapidly as they can
be purchased and made. Eggs, butter,
sweet and buttermilk and ice are grea'tly
needed in the hospital and any kindly dis
posed person whether a member of the as
sociation or not wsho may send such con
tributions to Camp Price will win the un
dying gratitude of the entire regiment.
There was a gratifying addition to the
membership list, reported iby the member
ship committee. In this connection it is
perhaps as well .to state that in order to
unite with the association it is not neces
sary to attend the meetings. Any one can
become a member by sending his or hqr
name to the treasurer, Mrs. Ross White
accompanied by a payment of dues for any
length of time desired. The dues are 25
cents per month. Mrs. Barbery at the
Library, has also been given authority to
receive membership dues and names of
new members.
There are 160 First regiment men sick
at Chickamauga. These, with the Camp
Price sick, will give the association a great
deal to work for. and the ladies urgently
ask the co-operation of the citizens of
Macon.

MINOR DETAILS.
Spaniards Want to March Out
With and Retain XTheir
Arms.
Copyright by Associated Press.
Playa, July 17. —The commissioners ap
pointed by Shafter and Toral to arrange
the details of surrender of the Spanish
forces in eastern Cuba, are still hard at
work.
Though the understanding was that no
concessions were to be granted except
allowing the. officers to retain their side
arms, the Spanish commissioners have been
disputing and raising many objections to
the proposed arrangements. The Spanish
officers wish to have their men march out
of the trenches with their arms, which they
also insist are to be boxed up and shipped
, back to Spain with the prisoners. This, of
course, has been refused. There is also
much argument over the other details of
sufrender.

that Mr. Reid had objected to the appoint
ment of a committee of five to select a
committee, and yet had constituted himself
a committee of one to force an ex-commit
tee down the throats of the meeting. (Mr.
Guerry moved as a substitute that the
Chair declare the nominations open and
that the meeting proceed to select a com
mittee.
Mr. Guerry’s motion was carried almost
unanimously.
To ts.lt*ct by Primary Hereafter.
Before the nominations were commenced
Mr. Buford Davis offered the following
resolution, which was passed:
Resolved, 1. That successors to executive
committee this day appointed, shall be
elected by a general primary to be held in
1900 at the same time and place as the
primaries that may be held for nomina
tion of a governor and state house officers.
2. That there being no emolument at
tached to the position the candidates for
said committee shall not be assessed any
sum whatever as a prerequisite to having
their names placed upon the ticket to be
voted for at said primary.
I' Preve.it SintrJe-Shotfingr.
Mr. Washington Dessau offered the fol
lowing resolution, the object of which was
to prevent single shotting in elections in
tills county in tne future:
Resolved, by the Democratic party of
Bibb county, in convention assembled:
That hereafter in all primary elections
which may be held in this county for the
nomination of candidates for members of
the house of representatives of the general
assembly of Georgia, to be voted for in agy
general state election, no ballot cast at
such primary election shall be counted by
the managers of the election, or considered
or counted by the Democratic executive
committee in the consolidation of the vote,
unless such ballot shall have written or
printed upon it three names running in
such primary election.
Resolved. That the Democratic executive
committee of Bibb county is authorized and
directed to carry this resolution into full
effect, and is hereby clot'her with the power
to do so.
The resolution met with opposition from
nearly every part of the house. Those who
spoke in opposition was Hon. J. H.
IHall, who said that he himself owed his
election to the men who voted for only
one candidate. Mr. J. L. Hardeman also
opposed the resolution and Mr. Guerry
moved to lay it on the table. 'Mr. Guerry’s
motion passed.
Mr. S. A. Reid then arose to nominate
the old executive committee.
Mr. Guerry followed with another ticket,
and as he did so Captain Hodges rose to a
point of order, but the point was over
ruled by the chair, and Mr. Guerry put
the following ticket in nomination:

the committee select 'its own chairman was
passed unanimously and the meeting ad
journed.

court room a few moments later for tem
porary organization. Nine members were
