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. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the -// i /4 1 - Signature of CALL FOR TICKETS.

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." GRANTS BRIGADE— Chickamauga.

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.
