4 MIL SAIL ■W. Third Regiment Delayed io De parture-Awaiting Arrival of Transports at Savannah. OFF TOMORROW From Macon, but the Exact Hour Has Not Yet Been Fixed. NO GREAT ENTHUSIASM At the Prospect of ißeing Sent to Santiago, But No Evidence of a Desire to Shirk Any Duty. A <li»pat<h from Savannah, received to day, f-.iw that th.’ Third regiment of I nit.d States volunteers from Macon and the Third and Fifth from ColunUbus, Miss,, will embark at Savannah on the troopships iiiio Grande. lama and .M i tines Waske which left New York yesterday and are expected to arrive at Savannah tomorrow. The Third regiment of Immunes, Col. I’ II Hay commanding received orders yesterday afternoon to proceed at once to Savannah, where they will take a trans port for Santiago. The order was received at 2 o’clock and was contained in a (brief telegram. It was supposed at first that the railroads had received corresponding orders and that the regiment would move out within a few hours.* Later, however, additional orders were received that indicated that the trains would not toe ready for the soldiers before Saturday and it is now on the program for them to take the trains for Savannah some time on Saturday. It will 'probably toe about noon before the troops board the train- and they will go aboard the trans port at that plaee on Sunday morning. tin the rneiipt of the orders the tents •«r;\ -dl ruck and later in the afternoon the sin;< ; .- .’icltcr tent..- were erected. Vltogi.tiir the imii are phased with the orders thought th< feeling of enthusiasm exhibited when the regiment was first di rect, d to hold itself in readiness were re ceived has passed away. The reports from Santiago have cast a damper on the spirits of the men and the feeling now existing is a stern and un flinching determination to do their duty. The tents were down and packed in ■about an hour’s time and the men pro s'. <ded to have their knapsacks, haver sacks and canteens marked with the com pany letter. Hat ornaments, consisting of two iguus crossed, with the number of the regiment and the letter of the company wa served out to the men to be placed on their hats. The News was the first paper to give in formation about the regiment breaking catnip and as a result fully five thousand people were down yesterday watching the men at work. Sisters, sweethearts and ■wives were down to bid their soldier lad dies good bye and many pretty girls were seen weeping yesterday afternoon. Few of the men had any time to talk to the ladies, as they were kept busy pack ing up. Some of the .privates sang lively melo dies while packing up "Hot Time in the Old Town" being the favorite but others ■who were not feeling, so gay were singing songs which caused many tears to How. Company M’s famous quartet sang t»p until ii late hour last night. The canteen proprietors will accompany the regiment when it leaves and wherever the regiment Is .■amped the canteen will toe opened up and beer will continue to be nerved. The officers will take their things which now adorn the mess hall and say that they are going to be as well fixed down th re as here One of the lieutenants id v. sierday that it would not he out of place to carry an Ice factory along. After the large tents had been taken down the dog tents were pitched so as to give the men some place to sleep last alight. The camp had an awkward ap pearance after the large tents had been taken down. The officers' tents were al lowed to remain standing, and will be up until the last moment. One of the Immunes was bemourning his fate loudly yesterday. He said that he was not afraid of the whole Spanish army but that he would be sure to die with yellow fever. He said that he did not know that he would have to face yel low fever when he joined the army. Very few of the regiment are really im munes and It Is said that the whisky drinkers will take the fever more readily Than tetotallers. The officers had intended to give a ball (tonight, but It was necessary to call it off. The ball was to be a grand affair—given especially for the lady friends of the of ficers. The sick men In the hospital will be car ried on wth the regiment. The men are not very sick and It Is thought that noth ing serious will result from it. Just at this time a review of the work don. by Colonel Ray in getting this regi ment into its present shape is interesting an example of how quickly this country has thrown an army »f raw recruits to gether and made soldiers out of undrilled men in a short time 'Military men of the older coifntries of the world accustomed to the systems pre vailing where there are large standing armies could hardly credit the transform ation that has taken place tn this one regiment. Two months ago the first work of mus tering the regiment commenced. The re cruiting officers booked for commissions on condition that they raise a certain numtotr of men went out into the bvways and gathered in as rough a looking set as it would be pos«lble to imagine. The work of mustering continued for over thirty days and at the end of the time Colonel Ray had under his command a mob— nothing more. The drill sergeant of an English regw mental depot would have looked at the material before him and while he would never have said that he could not make soldiers out of them he woald have told you that he could not turn them out as fit to be seen on the streets In company formation let alone on regimental drill under three months and yet here they are a good looking regiment of fine look ing men. not finished of course or likely to be finished under a year or two of hard •work but soldiers Just the same and a disciplined body understanding their duty and their position and putting up a good article of regimental drill every afternoon. The most remarkable part of it all is that it may be said that with few excep tions officers and non-commissioned of ficers were as raw as the men. Conse quently the work had to be done through out in every company from the captains jjown and in every battalion from the majors. The old soldier who has seen none of thia emergency work, but la accustomed to the routine drilling of small squads of recraita In a hundred of two depots all the year round until they are fit to join their companies aa soldiers and then with the companies until they are fit to turn out with the regiment will hardly credit the fact that here exists. A whole regiment recruited and drilled ready for service within sixty days from the time the first recruit was taken from the plow bandies and mustered in. But here it is. The Third regiment will march out of Macon a fine serviceable body of good fightimg men of whom any colonel can be proud'and who will, If kept together for two years, stand the equal of any regiment of regulars in the service. Colonel Ray and his officers were not given the advantage of the pick of the volunteer companies of the state, they took them from the plough, from the bench and from the streets, the alleys and the •hedgerows and out of the rawest of raw material, they hammered a regiment of soldiers. ■Macon will miss the Third regiment when it leaves. The soldiers have been very much in evidence during their stay here and have behaved themselves won derfully well, in fact better than regular soldiers would have done under like con ditions. It ia said today that the regiment Is to be paid off before it leaves. If this is so there will be lively times in the old town tonight and tomorrow, but Colonel Ray is in no way inclined to grant any license to the men of his command, even on the eve of their departure for Santiago.

The account in yesterday’s News of the sudden illness of .Mr. Floyd (Ross seems to have been very much exaggerated, and The News regrets exceedingly the sensa tional coloring given the matter. It ap pears that iMr. Roas, who has not .been in good health for some time, was simply overcome by heat, and there is every rea son to believe that he will be out again in a few days.

The Question of Returns by Corporations Liable to Special Tax J| The statement that persons or corpora tions, liable to a special license tax under the new revenue bill, were subject to a fine of 50 per cent, if the taxes were not paid by August 1, appear to have been a misconstruction, the penalty, probably be ing exacted for a failure to make returns by that time. Other banks sent only the sworn re turns on the blanks furnished by the col lector. Nothing in the lav or the blanks indicated to whom the payments are to be made, and the deputy collectors here have apparently no authority to receive and sign for such monies. While the banks are pl iced in this posi tion. the brokers of all classes have had no trouble in getting their money accepted when they sent it along with their returns. This is believed to be due to the fact that in their case, a special license is stated, while as regards the banks the tax is based upon the capital and surplus, and varies with the different Institutiias as a result. The returns mads by them are probab.y all to be verified before the call is mad? for the money. It is the impression that the making of returns absolved any one liable to a tax from the 50 per cent, penalty. A list of those who have neglected this will be made up as soon as possible. It may be a matter of interest to vari ous parties, who are supposed to be lend ing out money privately, and sometimes at quite high rates of interest, that they are not regarded as liable to the tax upon money brokers. It is only a person openly conducting a business as such who mud i pay the tax. CA.STORTA. Baan the The Kind You Haw Always Bought HOME SEEKERS' RATESJRE OFF But the Carnival Edition of the News Will Supply the Necessary Information. RECEIVE Mffl Ulis For this Information on Every Hand Nothing Now to Send Out This Edition Will Supply It. It seems that Macon is now not entitled to the home-seekers rate which was in force some time ago and which most peo ple thought was still good for those who are looking for homes in the South and in Georgia. According to a letter received recently by 'Mr. George A. Smith it seems that these rates have been taken off. The following letter is explanatory of the fact and shows that these rates while they were in force were calculated to do 'Macon some good: Mace, Ind., 1898. Mr. George A. Smith—Dear Sir: Last February one year ago when I was at 'Madon I went to your office and had a good talk with you and the people there. I was well pleased enough, so I want to come back again the way things were last fall, I could not come, so I got ready today and went to Crawfordville and bought my ticket for Macon. The agent charged me $25.45. One year ago I got the ticket for $20.45. To top the thing out the train was a little late and the agent got to looking over his orders and saw that IMacon, At lanta, Augusta and Savannah, these four towns, were left out. The agent said he could not sell a home-seekers ticket to qny of these four towns. Why is that? I wanted to go to Macon. So he tore the ticket up and gave me my money back and I came home and was looking over the book that you gave me when I was down there and I saw that you were the presi dent of the Macon Advertising and Infor mation Bureau. The book you gave me had the pictures of your town in it.. I didn’t know if you had anything to do with throwing out the four towns or not. I went to the other road and they said they had the same orders, that they could sell to some other towns round there but could not sell to these four towns. I was trying to get some others to come along tout this arrangement knocked it all in the head. Ex-Governor Northen, of Atlanta, jvrote to me sometime ago about coming. If you don’t know anything about the changes will you please send this letter to Governor Northen. I have lost his address and oblige your friend, A. Smiley. This letter also goes to show how im portant it is for Macon to have literature to send out among those people who may be seeking homes in the South. At present there is nothing of the kind. IMr. George A. Smith has exhausted his supply of literature and there is nothing now that can be sent out in reply to the many queries that come in both to Mr. Smith and to the city authorities about 'Macon and the surrounding country. This is the need that The News is trying to supply. The Chamber of Commerce is doing good active work for IMacon and that organization is also in receipt of many applications for information about Macon tout except in a general way the secretary is unable to replj- with any book or statis tical information. The special Anniversary and Carnival (Edition of The News will supply this want as it will contain all the information that would be wanted about this city and sec tion. No trouble or expense will be spared to make this the greatest edition of the kind that has ever (been put out by a Southern town and the people of the city are show ing their appreciation of the fact that The News is making this effort for 'Macon more than for The News. Leters of encouragement and verbal evi dence of appreciation are reaching The News every day and this will serve to en courage the management to give its best efforts to th undertaking. CAPT. COLQUITT HAS RESIGNED. He Will Not Go to Santiago With the Third Regi ment. Captain Colquitt, of the Third regiment, has resigned his commission and will not go to Santiago with the immunes. His resignation was tendered a few days ago. The reason is not assigned and while Colonel Ray will recommend the accept ance of the resignation he will not state the causes that have led up to it. The announcement of the resignation has caused a small sized sensation at the camp and among the friends of the cap tain. But assurances are given out that there is no reason to think that there is the slightest reason for any sensation in connection with the resignation of Captain Colquitt and that the causes leading up to it were on a purely private and personal nature. Colonel Ray says that the cause for the resignation are entirely between Captain Colquitt and the department and the colo nel himself. It is possible that there may be some other resignations in the regiment before the time conies for the regiment to ’eave for Santiago, but the colonel will not say that this is a fact and the other officers are not inclined to talk on the subject. It may be set down as a fact, however, that there will be a few changes to be made before the next twenty-four hours have passed over. DISMISSED APPEAL Os Emile Zola on the Decision rs the Assize Court. Paris. August s—The court of Caisson has dismissed the appeal of Emile Zola against the decision of the Versailles as size court which on July IS sentenced the author and M. Perreux. the managing editor of the Auronore each to one year imprisonment with 3,000 francs fine and to pay the costs of the suit for libel brought against them by the officers who composed the Esterhazy courtmartial. ACTIVE CAMPAIGN. Chairman Dußignon Talks About the Pros pects. At a meeting of the State Democratic Ex ecutive Committee, called at Atlanta on August 10, Chairman dußignon will an nounce the campaign committee and other committees, upon which will devolve the work of getting out a large Democratic vote for Colonel Candler, and the remain der of the Democratic state ticket on the second Tuesday in October. Headquarters, Mr. dußignon stated to the Savannah News, will then be opened and the campaign begun. It will be an eight weeks fight, and practically all the telling licks will be put in in the last four or five weeks. Short and sharp is the MACON NEWSmDAY EVENING, AUGUST 5 189 b motto which has been adopted and it is proposed to try and outdo Alabama in snowing under the Populist - candidates. Another big victory, coming on top of the Alabama Waterloo for the Pops, will tend to accentuate the last despairing wail of ex-leader Tom Watson. The Populists have. Mr dußignon has been informed, placed Mr. Carter, editor of the Meldrim Guidon, in charge of their headquarters at Atlanta. He will look after the campaign from now on. Mr. ■ Carter has made several trips to Atlanta recently in reference to the status of the Third party. It is presumed that he will attend especially to the literary end of the fight for candidate Hogan and the other candidates on the Populist ticket. BENEFIT FESTIVAL For the Soldiers Relief Fund at Ocmulffse Park. Misses Raso Thorner and Florette Cecil, assisted by other young ladies, are going to give a festival for the benefit of the Army and Navy League on August 15th at Ocmulgee park. Refreshments will be served and Card’s orchestra will furnish music for dancing. The refreshment tickets will be sold for 10 cents and the dancing tickets will be 50 cents. Cars will be run to the park until 12 o clock and the young ladies expect to realize a handsome sum for the League. GUITERAS ON CUBAN FEVER. Great Expert Says it Will Be More Serious Later. ’ Philadelphia. Pa., August s—Dr.5 —Dr. John Guitteras, the famous yellow fever expert and one of the leading advisors in this country, arrived at his home in this ctiy from Santiago, where he is engaged in the yellow fever work. He said: “The yellow fever cases thus far has been of a light order and the mortality has not been heavy. The most serious sources of trouble at present is from typhoid and malarial. .Most of the men are ill from one or other of these diseases. As the season drags on yellow fever becomes more serious. FEIGNEDTrAZY. Remarkable Confession Made by a Georgia Man in California. Newnan, Ga., Aug. s.—Four years ago Hugh Buchanan, well educated, rich son of the late Congressman Hugh Buchanan of Newnan, Ga., and a scion of one of the most prominent families in the state, killed a man at Marysville, Cal. On being tried he was adjudged insane and remand ed to the Napa asylum, San Francisco. Several days ago Buchanan made a startling acknowledgement. Throwing off ■the horrible mask of insanity he had been feigning for four miserable years, he de clared to the world he is not insane, and that family wealth was used to obtain the verdict in order that the name of the proud Southerners could not be stained by a prison record. He now comes forth, makes a clean breast of his story, and de mands that the people of California place him on trial for murder, preferring a life imprisonment, or even the gallows, to the hell upon earth he has been suffering. The story will create a decided sensation over the state. The Buchanans are well known in Georgia. His father served three consecutive terms in the national house of representatives, beginning in 1880. and was a congressional colleague of California’s governor, Budd. He also served as a captain in the Confederate army, and for three years after the war, he was one of Georgia’s superior court judges. “At the time of the trial,” says Dr. Gardner, “I was called as a witness for the defense, with Dr. Elmer Stone, 'Dr. Rodgers and Dr. Barr. That was after I had examined the prisoner and concluded that he was insane. The expert witnesses for the prosecution were Dr. Rucker, of Oakland, who had been superlntedent of the asylum at Stockton, and Dr. Robert son, of Livermore, who conducts a private sanitarium. When the trial was in pro gress the judge apointed all the doctors a commission to try the defendant for in sanity, discharging the jury that had been on duty three days. “The doctors for both the prosecution and defense agreed that Buchanan was insane and we rendered a unanimous ver dict accordingly. A second jury commit ted Buchanan to the Napa asylum. “It was the opinion of the experts that the patient would be continuously insane and I do not think his condition has im proved. I regal’d him as Insane and a dangerous man, though to sit and talk to him people would ordinarily think him perfectly sane. His desire to be tried for murder is evidence of his insanity, for there was no excuse for the killing. “But I am perfectly willing he should be taken out on a writ of habeas corpus to have the matter tested at any time.” Whether he is sane or not in wanting a murder trial, Buchanan is in the posi tion of a life prisoner at Napa, with con ditions about as severe as a sane mind could devise in connection with any Cali fornia prison life. TRANSPORTS TO SANTIAGO Those Now at Porto Rico Ordered to Ponce. Washington. August s—The war depart ment has ordered a large fleet of trans ports at Ponce to proceed to Santiago to join with the transports already therein, the bringing of Shafter’s army back to this country. There are ten large transports in the fleet at Ponce having a capacity of 1,000 men. In all they have a capacity of 6,540 men. GEORGIAN DIED AT PONCE. Lieutenant Hubert Who Graduated at West Point in 1880, Washington, August s—'Adjutants—'Adjutant Gen eral Corbin has received the following: Ponce, August s—Captain Edgar Hubert of the Eighth infantry, died of brain fever last night. Notify his wife at Fort Rus sell. Captain Hubert was born in Georgia. He was appointed to West Point from that state and graduated in 1880 from the mili tary academy. He was highly accomplished in military matters and was regarded as one of the most intelligent and energetic officers in the army. A New “'Heated Term.” We have a little 4-year-old tot at our boarding house named Teddie, who daily enlivens his parents with some original speech or other, with which of course the boarders are regaled at mealtimes.

May Play Hia Million. Charles Broadway Rouss, the blind mil lionaire of New York, who is said to have offered $ 1,000,000 for the restoration of his sight, is perhaps in away to have the opportunity to pay the money. His offer has been regarded as a standing one and has brought such a large number of spe cialists and doctors of all kinds with cures that for the past two years Mr. Rouss has employed John F. Martin, afflicted with the same sort of blindness, to test the many treatments offered. Now Mr. Mar tin is under the care of a Dt. Cassidy and with some new methods is reported as be ginning to regain his vision. aS REMOVAL SALE! lao CENT \ CENT As already announced, we will move on or about October lst\*° tbe store, No 608 Cherry Street, between Payne & Willingham's and McManut\ & Co’s.

While every one, as usual, is bulling the cotton crop and bearing the price as much as iossitole, it is a fact that this is good r< asbn to believe that tho price of the staple will advance and that because the crop is not as large as some people, and especially the buyers, think. The face of the matter is that the evi dences go to show that while the cotton weed is magnificent the crop picked will not be- very big or anything equal to what it was las. year. This should be good news to every man who has cotton and will be good news to tae merchants of Macon. A very prominent farmer, business man and careful observer said yesterday to a News reporter that he had no idea that the cotton crop for this year would be as big as people thought. He has travelled extensively through the state and says that the yield of the staple cannot be as large us most people think. He says: “The fist of August, as a matter of Course, is always too early to make a prediction as to the future of the growing crops. The condition of the crop up to date only can spoken of with any degree of certainty. The information at hand is that the cotton crop has scarcely ever been known to have been more promising at this time of the year. “It would be absurd, therefore, to pre dict the size of the crop which will be gathered. August and September are the critical months, and a sudden change in crop conditions is liable to make all pro phecies idle. “In-1895, for instance, this time of year the condition of the growing cotton weed was as magnificent as it now is, the pros pect for a great crop being fully as prom ising, but on the 10th of August of that year a change set in and by the 10th of September the condition of the cotton crop had become most unfavorable, and a poor crop was the result, sending the price of cotton a cent and a half to two cents a pound higher than was expected. “It is too early for cotton to begin to come in, but if the weather conditions begin coming in earlier this eason than last. The outlook is now that it will be gin to come in in good quantities early in September. “Prices, of course, may be expected to depend upon the size of the crop. If the yield should prove to be equal to that of last year it is hardly probable that even so good a price as .last season will be maintained. The lowest price of cot ton in this market last year was 5 1-8 cents a pound. The reason that the price of last year will hardly be maintained this year, the size of the crop being equal to that of last’yera, is that approximately 3,000.000 bales will be carried over, in vis ible and Invisible stock, or that much stock will ov on hand to begin the new crop on. “The times, however, are favorable for better prices than last year. There is more money tn circulation and tra le is going to be letter this fall than last and these facts in themcelvee may ten I to main tarn the price of cotton, making it as good this year as last in this market. “The minds of the people have been taken off the financial question this year. They have been thinking in other direc tions and the fact that more money has been put in circulation and more avenues of employment opened up aas made times easier than last year. “With the war question settled, the out look is that trade will brighten up and that the country will blossom into general prosperity this fall.” CAR MEN ON STRIKE.
