4 IT WILL FILL LONG FELT WANT How Merchants and Citizens Generally Endorse the Anniversary Edition. JUST WHAT MACON NETOS Letters on the Subject from a Num ber of Men Whose Public Spirit is Everywhere Recognized. The Carnival and Anniversary Edition of the Macon News haw found favor With cit izens and the merchants of Macon. On . very hand the management of the paper is in receipt of congratulations upon Its enterprise and public spirit in prepar ing and publishing an advertisement of Ms<on and its advantages on the line laid down in previous announcements. It. is agreed that this special edition of The News will fill a genuine need of the city a publlealioti that will tell truthfully, in detail, to the outside world, what Macon is and what she has. Soin, idea of the enthusiasm with which men of it cognized public spirit and en terprise have taken of the special edition of The News rnay lie gathered from the fol lowing letters received by The News: F.otn George A. Smith, Gentlemen I desire to commend the spirit of enterprise that prompts you to give to ns another "Industrial Issue” of The News, the paper that furnishes the news the day It happens. From the fre quent demands made on me from my con nection I presume with the ‘'Macon Ad vertislng and Information Bureau,” 1 know that there is a necessity for just the up to date Information that you propose to furnish You cannot stress 100 strongly, 1 think, the Importance of Macon as a man ufacturing center The McCaw Manufac turing Company is a tit illustration of what may be done t nthe way of ntanufac what may l> • done in the way of manufac ing a variety of products from the raw ma terial right at hand. It is well enough to spin yarns and make crude cotton seed oil, It is Infinitely better 'to carry the process of manufacturing further, and make ducks ami ginghams and 'Plantine and soaps. I believe no statistical information has been published, since my brochure on the “Ad vantages of Macon,” several years ago, and the first edition of that Issue has been long exhausted. I hope you will begin again in The News your campaign for diversified iiidu ries in Macon, for I am sure, the people tre beginning to realize that they mu t be produ cts, inst'-ad of living on c'li.-It'TMg?' a l trading among themselves. Th. are tired of putting up money for temporary benefits, and if the opinions of some of our most substantial citizens are worth anything, they are going to back your efforts to build up Macon in a sub stantial way. A manufacturer in speaking to the writer, recently said, “All these lofts above our banks and stores, that are now vacant, should be filled with different kinds of manufacturing plants. There is the Weekes Manufacturing Company that you were chiefly instrumental, 1 believe. In locating here, has -a pay roll of 1,000 per month, and they are selling their products everywhere. The Chamber of Commerce is on the right line in seeing that 'the gen eral utlities do not cost us too much, for Macon to compete with other cities, cannot afford to i>ay too much for water and light and power.” On with your enterprise, and keep ham mering away on your industrial idea, and you will be gratified, 1 am sure, at a no distant day, to see the full fruition of your hopes, in a city of manufacturers that will be sending her products to the four/ quarters of the globe. **’ Faithfully yours, Geo. A. Smith. From K. I>. Hutlinnnce, Editor of The News: I noticed with no little interest the announcement of your Intention to get out a special Carnival edi tion of The News, for the purpose of adver tising Macon. Tills is truly a most laudable enterprise and a much needed one. You most cefr tainly deserve, and 1 am sure will have the (hearty endorsement and co-operation of the citizens of Macon in this undertaking. We cannot proclaim in tones too loud, the unusual advantages of living in Ms con. But. as you say, few people outside of Bibb county know of all these advanta ges. What we want is to put Macon in her true light before the world. I am afraid ■we are all inclined to be too modest. We who live here know what a splendid city we have, but we seem afraid to let others know about it. 1 think the two things which conduce more to the success of a city are good newspapers and a properly managed Chamber of Commerce. Os the former, I need say nothing, they speak for them selves. 'But there are few people in Ma con who really know what magnificent work our Chamber of Commerce, under its present management, is doing. And if they keep up the record of the past six months there should not be a bus iness man of any kind whose name will not be found on the role. Wishing your undertaking a splendid success it surely deserves, 1 am trly yours, E. D. Huthnance. Fiom Mr. Cl- in Phillips. Gentlemen: That you deserve the patron age of the general public in the contem plated issue of the Diamond Jubilee edi tion of The News, one has only to direct attention to your previous efforts in this line and recall the success of your "Dixie Fair" edition, of which all Macon was proud. 1 Respectfully, Clem Phillips.

Bears the You Ha *® A!wa * S Signature fT* of WILL RE-VISIT JULIETTE MILL Prison Commission Here To day for the Purpose of Lo cating Penitentiary Site. ARE FAVORABLY IMPRESSED With the Offer of the Lands and Improvements at Juliette on the Ocmulgee. The board of prison commissioners con sisting of Judge J. H. Turner. General C. A. Evans, and Mr. J. L. Beach are in the city today on matters connected with the site on which to locate the state central prison. The board has been all over the state examining different sites but they seem to be more impressed with that at Juliette than any other place. The land has been offered to them at very low rates. The act which was passed at the last session of the legislature requires the board to purchase not less than two thous and acres of land and not more than five thousand. It will take at least 3,000 acres for the prison, which is to be used as a farm. As the state has leased all of its con victs for a number of years, it will be about the first of January before the prison will need to be built. About 150 convicts will (be kept in the prison all the time and they will be mostly women and boys. The farm will be conducted for the .benefit of the state. The board has not yet come to a decision as to what lands they will select tout it is thought that they will select the place at Juliette, which has been offered them. All of the board seem to be favorafble im pressed .with the Juliette site as one of the best to be found in any section of the state. General Evans said to a News reporter this morning that this was the favorite spot. “We are looking,” he said, “everywhere for a suitable location (but as yet we have not decided what we will do. Vast bodies of land at prices averaging from $4 to $8 per acre have been offered to us and some of the places are in very good locations. “The act requires us to buy not less than 2,000 acres and I think that 3,000 will be sufficient for the farm. There is already a penitentiary for women in Elbert county and it is one of the best penitentiaries in the country. “Macon would be a fine location if we could get lands to suit us. .It goes with out saying that I have always liked Ma con.” He was asked about the new lease of convicts which the state has recently made. He said: “The recent lease is a fine one and will net the state fully $60,000 a year. We are well pleased with the new lease and hope that it will prove satisfactory.” He said that the board would make a decision in about sixty days. The board will leave this afternoon to look at the places which have been offered them at Juliette and many people think that they will locate there. The location of the camp at Juliette would bring in more trade for Macon and would cause more money to be put in ciT culation. Judge Turner also said that he favored the location of the farm near Macon (but he could not give out anything definite as he said that, the lands might not be suit able. Mr. Beach could not be seen. THE HEALING WATER. Health and Pleasure Are to Be Found at the Old Indian Spring. Few places in Georgia are so widely and favorably known as the famous Indian Spring. For more than a hundred years the tiny stream flowing only one gallon a minute has been giving health and strength to suffering thousands. Closely associated with the fame of the sprang is the splendid 'Wigwam hotel on the bluff just above it. It is now operated by T. O. I arker, of the Brown House at Macon, and his splendid management is being re warded by the most prosperous season in its history. Many from this section have already visited there this season and found it indeed to be all it claims to be, the ideal health and pleasure resort of Georgia. M hile its rates are low the airy home-like rooms, perfect table, excellent service and thorough management are all far superior to what one usually gets for the same money. 'Mr. C. E. Hooper, the manager, will be glad to answer any inquiries and furnish all information In regard to the healing properties of the water, the rates of board, etc., the postoffice address being simply Indian Spring, Ga. The Wigwam is supplied with every modern improvement for comfort or re creation. A physician resides in the hotel. Mail and telegraph facilities are the same as in a city. Its hundreds of satisfied guests are its best advertisements. THE BEfiT REMEDY FOR FLUX.

Smith was governor of Georgia a woman named Susan Eberhardt, living in Webster county killed her husband and was hanged. Governor Smith was seriously criticise 1 for allowing a woman to be executed.” The foregoing wihich appeared in the Macon Telegraph this morning under the heading, “She Killed Her Husband.” must have been written by some one who was entirely ignorant of the facts in the Su san Eberhardt ease referred to in com parison by him. Susan ’Eberhardt never killed her husband nor any one else. She had no husband to kill. She was a young woman, 19 years of age, who was living as cne of the family with a man by the name of Spann, who had a wife and sev eral children living with him, Spann killed his wife and then induced or forced Susan Eberhardt to flee the country with him, which she did soon after Mrs. Spann was killed. They were pursued and arrested in Ala bama, where both of them were working on a farm hoeing cotton together, They were brought ba.-k. Spann was convicted of murder and paid the penalty. Susan Eberhardt was convicted, as an accessory afterwards and was hanged over the pro test of the people of Georgia. Susan Eber hart was hung sometime during the year IS7I or 1872 if my memory serves me well. Several gentlemen of the city, my brother among them, attended the hanging. SMITH. CALL FOR TICKETS.
