OFF FOR DETROIT
TOMORROW.
The Mayor and City Clerk
Will Go as Delegates to
Convention.
———
Mayor Price and City Clerk Bridges ,
Smith will attend the meeting of the
Municipal League in Detroit, and will leave
tomorrow morning from Michigan. They
were formally appointed delegates from
the city of Macon. City Clerk Smith has
invitation* from a large number of the
clerk* in other cities on their route to
visit them on his way north.
Some of these he will take advantage of
and in addition to acting as a delegate
tiom Macon be will lake a well deserved
vacation.
A pioapectus by the Detroit officials tells
of the convention and of the league and
its work, as follow*
“During the Urst four days of August
the city of Detroit will entertain from one
to three thousand mayors, councilmen and
city officials, who will journey thither tor
the purpose of discussing the numerous
and complex problems involved in the man
agement of municipal business, the occa
sion will be the second annual convention
of the League of American Municipalities,
which is composed of a large number of
the most progressive cities and towns in
the United States and Canada. This league
was organled last September at Columbus,
Ohio, where 418 mayors and councilmen
from 101 cities and twenty-tnree state got
together for the purpose of devising some
way to advance the interests ot good gov
ernment.
“Good government, in this sense, means
an intelligent, economical and progressive
it ahsai I ion ot tile business of a munici
pality. It doos not mean experimenting
with tin m etical forms nor the copying of
European methods. The officials who
gaimi.d al Columbus being ripe with ex
p- rit nee, recognize tnat municipal govern
ment in tiiis country was in a state of ev
olution. that its advancement from the
..u.ie io the perfect state was piogre .;-
ing slowly but surely, and that the best
1 way to expedite this advancement was to
tducaie tm' powers that govern.
I “A perpetual, effective system of edu
cation for those who rule me destinies of
our cities was the tiling needful for a bet-
■ ter administration of civic affairs, accord
j ing to the ideas of the delegates at Colurn-
I bus. As doctors of law, physics and divin
-1 ity form reform clubs and civic federations
! for the purpose of setting up ideal munici
i pal governments on theoretical founda-
I tions, the city officials concluded to go
j them one better by organizing themselves
■ into a national body for the purpose of
i studying the practice ot municipal gov
i ernment and in that way accomplish the
I best possible, if not the ideal results.
"To study the correct as well as the mis
i taken methods of carrying on municipal
I work, and thereby profit by the experience
of one another, is the educational work for
which the League of American Municipal
ities was organized. Its purpose is to
inform its members where and how mis
takes have been made by city officials,
and where and how this or that department
of the municipal service has been improv
ed.
The first article of the constitution of the
league sets forth its object clearly:
" ’The objects of this organization shall
be the general improvement and the facil
itation of every branch of municipal ad
ministration by the following means:
First, the perpetuation of the organi
zation as an agency for the co-operation of
American cities in the practical study of
all Questions pertaining to municipal ad
ministration. Second, the holding of an
nual conventions for the discussion of con
temporaneous municipal affairs. Third,
the esetablishment and maintenace of a
central bureau of information for the col
lection. compilation and dissemination of
statistics, reports and all kinds of informa
tion relative to municipal government.’
“To insure permanent,"’ of o’.inization
the memberships in the league are held
by the cilies which pay an annual fee of
from S2O to SSO, according to population.
The mayor, all the members of the coun
cil and all the heads of departments of a
membership city are entitled to all the
privileges of a membership. Each city be
longing to the league is entitled to send
its mayor and as many members of the
council as it choses as delegates to the
annual convention, where every delegate
may participate in all the discussions, but.
each city represented is entitled to but
•ne vote on the roll calls. Therefore, New
York, with a possible representation of
one hundred delegates, will be able to
make more noise on the convention floor,
but will have no more voting strength than
Fargo, N. D.. with two or three delegates.

SOLDIERS ARE
BEING PAID.
Paymaster Arrived Yesterday
and Began Work at Once.
Clerks Are Busy.
DRILL YESTERDAY
Was the Best Seen Here in
Some Time- Colonel Ray
Talks.
Paymaster Manly B Curry, of the
United States volunteers arrived in the j
city last night and began paying off the
immune regiment at Camp Price this
morning.
It will be some time yet before he can
complete his work as only a few of the
company pay rolls have been made out.
He will pay the men for the month of
June and the total amount paid out will
be nearly $25,000 as there are 1,200 pri
vates and fifty officers. The average pay
for the officers will be $125 and that of the
privates sl3.
This payment will put a good amount of
money in circulation and is sure to make
business liven up.
Colonel Ray will have the pay roll of
each company made out for the month of
July and the men will receive their pay
for this month about August 3.
The total amount which will be paid to
the men will be nearly $50,000.
The expression which the men have been
making for the last few days, “I wish pay
day would come,” is heard no longer and
every one in camp wore a smile this
morning.
The officers say that the men will run
through with their money in a very short
while and will have to use canteen checks
again.
Eevrybody in camp at the park is happy
tocay. The nav.na.l-y mace his appear
a.i.-e ■'ally this morning i.nd since then
he has been vetv busy paying out money
to the soldi r.-s.
The first sergeants and clerks have been
busy making out their pay rolls and it
will probably be two or three days before
they can be finished.
The regimental drill yesterday Common
was deeidedely the best seen here since
ti e Southern Cadets disbinlsd. Each
company went through the drill without an
error and the officers were highly compli
mented by Colonel Ray on the wora which
their men put up. The men in turn were
complimented by their officers.
Colonel Ray gave orders to discontinue
the morning drib until the paymaster had
completed his work. The company streets
are naw in excellent shape. Ta? officers
have had the men hard at work on them
since the was given to move and
the men have made a neat job of it.
Colonel Ray has asked the mayor to have
the grass on the drill grounds cut so that
it will not interfere with the drills in the
afternoon.
No rubbish is allowed to lie around, and
eating melons in the company streets is
positively forbidden.
The soldiers W'll bid farewell to the can
teen for a few days and will patronize the
city merchants. They say that two months
of the canteen is enough and that they like
a change.
The guard house is becoming unpopular
since the men have money and all of them
are behaving much better. Insurance
agents made their first apearnnee at Camp
this morning.
Regimental drill will be held again this
afternoon and the officers say that it will
excell the .drill cf yesterday.
A News reporter saw Colonel Ray this
morning and asked him if he had heard
anything of the men who were held on
the charge of desertion.
“Yes,” he said. “I received a telegram
from the colonel of their regiment saying
that a detail ha 1 been sent after them and
that it would probably arrive tolay. The
men were attempting to deserr; as they
were making their way north. It is si range
to me how a man can get drunk and when
he gets sober finds himself in another
■town.
“They had about sl6 between them and
were evidently trying to escape ”
He was asked about the payment of the
men and said:
“I have succeeded in getting the paymas
ter to stay over and pay the men their
money for July as well as June. It will
take some time to get rhe my rolls in or
der, and while ne will finish paying off for
June in two or three days, it will be about
August 3d before be will complete his pay
ments for July.”
He was asked if he would allow the men
to go into town as usual.
"Os course I will as long as they behave
themselves; but if any of them get dis
orderly I will lock the offender up and not
allow him to go to the city again."

COMPANY TO
BUILD FLOATS,
A Concern Enters the Field to
Take Charge of Such
Work.
GOOD THING FOR CARNIVAL
Will Greatly Add to Its Grandeur
and Success—Commendable En
terprise ot a Few Maconites.
Everything seeips to be conspiring for
the success of Macon’s Diamond Jubilee
Carnival. The dispatches indicate that
peace is almost in sight and that Macon
will be just in time to celebrate the return
of peace and prosperity as it should be
celebrated.
The public seem to realize that the Car
nival is to be a go, and not only that, but,
the greatest event in the history of Geor
gia. Already it is a general topic of con
versation on the streets, and many mer
chants are already discussing plans for
floats, etc., while the young men and
young ladies of Macon are talking among
themselves plans for the Floral Parade.
As showing what interest
been aroused in the Carnival and the
amount of confidence felt in its success,
a company was organized in Macon today
for the purpose of designing and building
floats, decorating traps, manufacturing
and selling decorations, flags, bam |s,
etc. The company is to be known as the
Macon Carnival Decorating and Contract
ing Company, and it has behind it suffi
cient capital and men who are well adapt
ed for this sort of undertaking.
The head of the company is Mr. Frank
H. Powers, who has had much experience
in this line of work. He has built some
of the most attractive floats ever seen in
Macon, and he is a genius when it comes
to originating new and novel ideas for af
fairs of this kind. Mr. Powers has asso
ciated with him some of the best tajept
in Macon; in fact the Macon Carnival
Decorating and Contracting Company
seems to have monopolized this sort of
talent in Macon. Mr. George W. Lingo,
the well known artist, is at the head of
this department, and it is safe to say the
work done by him and under his super
vision will surpass anything ever seen in
Macon. Mr. Lingo is one of the finest ar
tists and sign writers in the South, and
his connection with the company guaran
tees its success ip this department.
Mr. George W. Sims, who is recognize 4
as one of the most artistic decorators in
Macon and who is now jn charge of this
department for the Dennenberg Company,
which alone is sufficient evidence of his
ability, is to be chief designer for the
company. Among the several beautiful
floats in the last carnival which were de
signed by Mr. Sims was the magnificent
one entered by the Hotel Lanier, admitted
to be the handsomest float in the proces
sion.
Mr. Clarence Denicke. who is a rival of
Mr. Sims as a decorator, and who has
charge of that department for Burden,
Smith & Co., is to be chief decorator for
the new company, and it gpes without say
ing that this work is in good hands. Mr.
Denicke has originated and executed many
novel and beautiful designs, and hjs repu
tation as a decorator is fully established.
The formation of such a company is
considered by the promoters of the Carni
val a splendid thing, for the reason that
it insures more handsome floats at less
trouble and expense to the merchants. The
campany proposes to design and contract
for floats from the lowest to the highest
price, agreeing to furnish everything, even
to the drays, horses and attendants, with
out annoyance to the merchant This, of
course, will prove a good thing for the
Carnival Association as well as for the
merchant, for the reason that it will
guarantee floats that will do credit to Ma
con and have them in line pron ly and
effectively. The merchant will be
a lot of time and bother, and he will, per
haps, get better results for the money ex
pended.
Such companies are organized in Louis
ville, Knoxville and other cities where
these trade carnivals are held, arid it is
said they contribute immeasurably to the
success of such events. Tt is understood
that the company has already virtual con
tracts for five large and elaborate floats,
two of which are for the largest dry goods
houses in Macon, and the others for cer
tain large manufacturing enterprises. Mr.
Powers says he can easily build fifty or
sixty fine floats, and he expects to get
orders for more than this number. But he
does not propose to take too many. He ex
pects to go to New York within the next
ten days to buy material, and the work of
float building will begin immediately upon
his return.
Mr. Powers will also lay in an immense
stock of the latest designs in decorating
materials, which his company proposes to
sell at prices that will enable Macon to be
elaborately decorated. His conpany is
thoroughly in earnest, and there seems no
doubt of the fact that it will contribute in
a great measure to the success of the Car
nival.

BIG RECEPTION.
Colonel Bryan Called on for a Speech, But
Declined.
Jacksonville, Fla., July 27—A rousing
reception was tendered to Colonel William
Jennings Bryan, of the Third Nebraska
regiment, at the Windsor hotel yesterday.
The band of the regiment was selected to
give one of the weekly concerts at the
hotel, and that being its first appearance
in public, nearly the entire Nebraska regi
ment took advantage of the occasion to
come to the city from their camp just out
side the limits, a special train being char
tered for the purpose.
General Fitzhugh Lee showed Colonel
Bryan every attention, and detailed Major
Russell B. Harrison to the special duty es
looking after him. The high officers of
most of the regiments in camp were pres
ent. and after the concert an informal re
ception was held, all being introduced to
Colonel Bryan in turn. The outpouring
of people from the city was tremendous.
There were many cal’s for a speech, but
Colonel Bryan did not respond.

Erysipelas
Two Diseases That Causa Their
Victims to Be Shunned by
Their Fehow-Man.
SPRI NO FIELD, Mo.
Gentlemen : I commenced taking- P.
P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, last
Fall, for Erysipelas. My face was com
pletely covered with the disease ; I took
a short course of P. P. P., and it soon
disappeared. This Spring I became
much debilitated and again took an
otner course, and I am now in good
condition. 1 consider P. P. P. one of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a gen
eral tonic to build up the system and
Improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
cares to try P. P. p. will not be disap
pointed in its results, and I, therefore,
cheerfully recommend it.

and without fail.
Springfield, Mo.
Gentlemen: Last June I had a
Scrofulous sore which broke out on rnv
ankle. It grew rapidly, and soon ex
tended from my ankle to my knee. I
got one bottle of your P. P. p., Lipp
man’s Great Remedy, and was agree
ably surprised at the result. The entire
sore healed at once. 1 think I have
taken almost every medicine recom
mended for scrofula and catarrh, and
your P. P. P. is the best I have ever
tried. It cannot be recommended too
highly for blood poison, etc.
Yours very truly,
W. P. HUNTER.
