WANT TO COME
TO CAMP PRICE
Detail from Fitzhugh Lee’s
Corps Arrived in the Citv
this Morning.
ARE DELIGHTED WITH MACON
They Say that General Lee is the
Darling of the Camp and of the
City—Carnt for Deserters.
A detail consisting of Corporal H. G.
Owen, Privates F. Selzer, F. Paddock and
S. Silverson, of company E, Second Illinois
regiment stationed at Jacksonville, arrived
in the city this morning to carry the de
serters, who were captured here several
days ago, back to camp.
Corporal Owen was in charge of the
party w'ho came in heavily armed with
their rifles and pistols. As soon as the
detail arrived in the city Corporal Owen
reported to Colonel Ray at Camp Price and
told him that he had been ordered by Gen
eral Fitzhugh Lee to bring the men "oack
to camp. Colonel Ray gave him permis
sion to take charge of the men. He went
to the guard house and handcuffed the
three men together.
Corporal Owen was seen by a News re
porter and was asked if the men were
really deserters. “Yes,” he said, “they
have been away from camp seventeen days
and the authorities there have made every
effort to capture them. I am sorry to say
that they deserted from my regiment but
they are the first ones who have done so.
“I am very much in love with your
town,” he said, “and this camp is the pret
tiest place that I have seen in some time.
At Jacksonville we are camped in the
sand and have no shade except that which
is afforded by the small pines. The only
redeeming features about our eamp is the
■water, which is very good.
“The men in this camp have a cinch to
our boys. We are not allowed to leave
camp but once a week and then it is only
for four hours. We have the finest colonel
in the army in Colonel Moulton and his
wife is the mother of the whole regiment.
Every day she goes from one company to
another sewing for the boys, and she is
always at the hospital.
“That Southern man of yours, General
Lee, is the pride of all of the 12,000 sol
diers at Jacksonville and there is not a
man who would not die for him. He is
kind and considerate to the men under him
and we all love him.
“Our regiment is kept under the strictest
discipline and. any man who violates the
rules in the slightest manner is severely
punished.
“The men who we will carry back with
us will probably receive a three years’
sentence as several deserters have been
done that way."
The detail is being entertained by com
pany “M.” They will leave with the
prisoners tomorrow at 11 o’clock. The de
serters had a woe-begotten expression on
their faces this morning as they sat in the
guard house handcuffed.
They put up a nice story when captured
but have changed their tale altogether
since Corporal Owen and his party arrived.
CAKE WALK
AT THE CABIN
Will Be a Big Thing if the
Clerk of the Weather
Permits.
Weather permitting, the barbecue and
dance at the Log Cabin Club tonight will
be the biggest event of the week.
It is for the benefit of the Soldiers Relief
Fund and a large number of people will
be out at the club.
Outside of the barbecue the feature of
the entertainment will be the cake walk
which will be participated in by the wait
ers at the barbecue.
All of these waiters are well known Ma
con men and a considerable amount of
amusement will be the result of the con
test. The prize for the cake walk whi.ch
will of course be an immense cake will be
awarded by Congressman Bartlett.
A special schedule has been arranged
for the occasion by the Metropolitan Street,
Railway Company.
ARE TOGETHER
ONCE AGAIN.
Eads and Neel Doing Busi
ness at the Old Stand
Under Old Name.
Once more the firm of Eads, Neel & Co.
is doing business under the same roof and
to the trading public it is a great pleasure
to see the two men who are known to be
such firm friends in private life doing bus
iness at the same old stand under the same
old name and without any semblance of
competition between them.
Even a clothing war between two such
good fellows as John C. Eads and Joe Neel
•carried with it a sort of an idea that they
were at one another's throats and that it
was impossible to see them so keen to
capture trade one from the other without
some personal feeling -entering into the
matter.
But all danger of that is now over and
the friends are together in business and
will proceed to make war on the other
fellows.
They say that they are better prepared
than ever to give the public the best of it,
and that is saying a great deal, as this
firm has always done a business that left
a sense of good treatment on the memorf
of those who did business with them.

IMMUNE HATS.
Brown Canvass Kind Indicate that Regiment
Ofdy.
The brown canvass hats worn by the
soldiers of the Third regiment have been
thought by many to be the new regulation
campaign hats for the army, but these
military sky pieces when worn designate
immune regiments only, the soldiers of the
state regiments stiH wearing the felt cam
paign lists.
Speaking a£ the immune hats, it may b,e
said that they are not proving very satis
factory, so j I is learned. The reason of
this is that they, as soon as they get their
first wettjng, gef gs jimp gs a dish rag and
ail out of shape.
It js safe to say no two of the hats have
the same shape, which as a result gives
the soldiers when in line a rather un
uniform appearance.
JUDGE DID NOT
SEE THE FITNESS
-
Amusing Case of Petty Lar
ceny from Third Regi
ment in Court.
DISSMISSED THE SOLDIER,
The Judge Sent for a Tape Measure
and Measured Off the Unmen
tionables Said to be Stolen.
A soldier of the Third regiment was
tried this morning in the city court before
Judge Ross on the charge of stealing part
of the kit of a brother soldier.
The article in question was a part of a
cotton undersuit plaintiff said he had worn
for some time and than had put them in a
box in his tent and that with other under
suits they had been stoh-n.
The soldier on trial was found with the
articles in a package in his hand and in
the package were the missing unmentiona
bles, or something like them.
The package produced in court and
Judge Ross went into a thorough investi
gation of the case.
The prosecuting soldier is a large man
and it will require Several months, if not
years, of setting up drill to get his figure
into shape.
He measures on his own admission forty
four inches around the waist and stands
about five feet seven or eight inches in
height.
The articles produced in court were care
fully measured by Judge Ross, who sent
for a measure for that purpose.
He found that the articles measured only
thirty inches in the waist and twenty-two
inches in the leg.
The defendant soldier said that he had
found them near the river where they had
been thrown by a soldier who was too
lazy to wash them, but he . washed them
and was just about to swan them for a wa
termelon with a negro at the gate when
he was found with them in his hand. He
said that they were too small for him,
and that for that reason he could not wear
them. •
It was evident that they were too small
for him, and the judge, after carefully
measuring the man with his eye who
claimed the clothing as his, and hearing
the statement of the defendant, dismissed
the case.
It is the general opinion among mTitary
men in the city and of those who have had
anything to do with military life, that such
cases as these, for the credit of the regi
ment and for the army generally, should
be kept out of the courts.
It was very evident that the charge
against this man was brought carelessly,
Aid it understood that there is another
case to be brought again, t him in the saniu
court.
Colonel Ray has not yet found out that
there ere some constabl. sin the justice
courts who are entirely too ready to bring
themselves into prominence even at the
expense of an individual soldier or the
whole regiment. When he does find it out
he will, no doubt, require the constables
to show’ credentials before they pass the
guaid at the gate and'will investigate such
cases as this, in his own orderly room be
fore he allows his men to bo put in jail
and kept there unt>l tried by the state
courts.
A week’s exercise with Indian clubs,
dumbells and a Springfield rifle for eight
hours a day would have a more salutary
effect on the soldier who lightly regards
the laws of meum tuum than all the jail
experiences of a life time.
C.A.JSTOH.TA..
Bears the Kin(l You Have AI W Bought
sl.lO A BUSHEL FOR
PEACHES IN MACON.
Citizens of Vineville Largely
Pay that Price—A Napo
leonic Hackman and
His Little “Fiver”
in Peaches.
The average hackman is usually credited
with financiering abilities of no ordinary
character, but the Napoleon of the frater
nity is one who operated in Vineville yes
terday.
This hackman, black though he is, would
find a rich harvest waiting for him on
Wall street, w-here less talented financiers
than he have made fortunes in a day.
But stocks and bonds have no attraction
for this Macon hackman. The height of
his ambition was to take a little flyer in
peaches. The business of hack-driving is
calculated to sharpen the wits, and this
particular hack driver had not robbed un
suspecting victims all these years for
nothing. But the ordinary mode of prac
ticing his particular form of brigandage
had become too apparent. He had all but
played the gamut, so to speak. There was
just one opening for him.
Recalling to himself the fact that “hack
ing” had grow-n dull and profitless since
so many of the monied men of the town
left for the war, he concluded that the best
w-ay to make money was to make it hon
estly—-but make it. While meditating
thus he saw a country darkey driving
down the street with a wagon load of
peaches. Forty cents a bushel, but no
buyers. The country darkey yelled hirpself
hoarse in his effort to get rid of his stock.
Peaches were evidently a drag on the
market.
But right here is where genius rose
above commonplaceness, and solved a prob
lem which was entirely too opaque for the
horticulturist. What happened only shows,
too, what environments sometimes do for
a man. Had the country darkey been a
Macon hackman, at least if he had been
engaged at it long enough to dull his con
science and sharpen his wits which is not
long—he might have displayed the Napo
leonic qualities of the other, and the other
might have been the country darkey un
able to get rid of his peaches.
But is was just as it was. The real
Napoleon ot finance was engaged in driv
ing a hack, while the luckless horticul
turists had the peaches for sale. Here is
where their interests became one, in a
sense. The hackman had solved ip hjs
mind the problem of selling that tuafl of
peaches at a profit, and, at the same time,
of injecting new life into the business of
hacking. How his plan w r as executed is
toj! in the following:
Yesterday omrnipg a polite hackman
stopped in front of the residence of Dr.
Carroll, the good-natured and well-beloved
pastor of the Vineville Baptist church. The
hackman evidently thought it was best to
start in on a good-natured man—especially
a man who gives more thought to the
things of the next world than to the things
of this. He approached Dr. Carroll with a
bland and seductive smjle. and, with a
guileness air said:
“Doctor, a gentlemen at de Macon and
Dublin road has saijnt you dese
The good Doctor's face was radiant at
the thought of being so kindly remem
bered. He asked for the name of his
friend, but, for the life of him, the hack
man couldn’t think of it. The Doctor
■nanied over every friend and acquaintance
who v.ould be likely to send him a basket
of preaches, and finally settled it in his own
tnir.d that it must have been Mr. .
' Isn’t that the sender?” asked the Doc
tor, persuasively.
The hackman was not particular, so he
admitted it was. and the Doctor seemed to
be more pleased than ever. It wasn’t a
very large basket of peaches, and the fruit
wasn’t particularly fine; but it always the
spirit of such gifts that Iqpds them tehir
value. The hackman did not seem eager
to leave. Perhaps he shared in the good
Doctor’s pleasure. .At any rate, he stlyed,
like the waiter whose presence is a gentle
insinuation that you have forgotten some
thing. Suddenly the Doctor began to sus
pect that perhaps he had been rather re
miss and Unappreciative.
“Oh. do I owe you something for bring
ing them out?” asked the Doctor.
“Well, sir, er quarter will do.” replied
the magnanimous hackman.
And the Doctor cheerfully paid th*
freight, feeling that it would be base in
gratitude to question the business judg
ment of the friend who had sent him ten
cents worth of peaches, by a twenty-five
cent hack. But the Doctor was glad
enough to get off even at that; his only
surprise was that the hackman had not
wanted fifty cents, for it is always fifty
cents to Vineville. you know. Secretly the
Doctor commended and blessed the hack
man for his liberal disposition.
Later in the day the good Doctor met his
friend down town. He at once began to
dozen other citizens of Vineville had re
marks no one could have told that the
Doctor had paid the freight, so great was
his appreciation of the kind remembrance.
Imagine his amazement when the friend
denied all knowledge of the matter. The
Doctor let the subject drop rather sud
denly. He was not quite sure about
things. A horrible suspicion flashed into
his mind. He tried to banish it, for the
good Doctor tries to think well of every
one—even a hackman. But the more he
thought of it the more it troubled him.
He decided to confide in a friend of his
a financier who might be able to fathom
such a transaction. He confided, and he
learned that the financier himself and a
dozen other citizensof Vineville had re
ceived baskets of peaches that morning by
the same hackman.
The peaches cost the hackman 10 cents
a bushel. The baskets held three-quarters
of a peck or about seven cents worth, and
the baskets cost three cents each, or a
total cost of 10 cents for each basket of
peaches. Net profit to the hackman—ls
cents on each basket or sl,lO a bushel for
his peaches.
Colonel Dan Hughes, who is one of the
most experienced fruit growers in the
state, says it is the highest price yet se
cured for Georgia peaches this year.
