MULBERRY STREET,
BETTER BEWARE
OF JONB ICE,
It Has Been Condemned bv
Nearly All Health Boards
Savs a Citizen.
IS OFFERED 111 MACON
At Very Low Price—Was Sent Here
to Be Used in Fruit Cars—
There’s Dough In It.
“Here is a thing to which I think yeu
newspapers should call the attention of the
people of Macon,” said a well known citi
zen this morning. “1 see an advertisement
offering the people of Macon pond ice at a
very low figure. Do you know what is in
volved in this proposition? Well, you
should read the health regulations of Chi
cago and other cities.”
These somewhat pointed remarks came
from a gentleman who is well posted in
such matters. He went on to state that
the people of Macon should be warned
against buying pond ice or lake ice brought
here from Chicago. He argued that this
ice is necessarily impure, and asserts that
it has been so declared by the boards Os
health all over the country.
“This ice,” said he, “has been shipped
here to ice fruit cars, and this is all on
earth it is fit for. It Is a shame to offer it
for any other purpose, and I think the
Macon board of health should take cogni
zance of the matter at once.
“You see,” he continued, “the disasters
to the fruit crop by reason of so many
peaches rotting on the trees for lack of
crates, etc., caused several hundred tons
of this ice to be banked up here in Georgia.
Rather than lose it the owners thought to
sell it to consumers. They tried this in
Atlanta, but were not allowed to sell it
there. Now they have dumped a lot of it
into Macon and are trying to sell it to our
people. It remains to be seen whether or
not they will be allowed to sell it here.
‘The great trouble Is the consumer will
not know what he is buying, will have no
opportunity to protect himself unless he
makes diligent inquiry of the small deal
ers and peddlers. Many of these will natu
rally prefer to buy this pond ice, because
it Is cheaper, never weighing the conse
sequences to their customers.”
If from what the gentleman says is true,
it quite evident that some precaution
should be taken. As everyone knows, lake
or pond i« e is no longer used except for
refrigerating purposes, the only pure ice
being that made from distilled water.
Manufactured ice, where tb.C proper meth
ods are used, is always purer than Li? ver/
best drinking wafer. Jn fact, many physi
cians require their patients to drink only
water made by melting manufactured Ice.
It is also a fact, to which it is always
well to call the public’s attention, that the
vast majority of summer diseases are caus
ed by what passes through the mouth —
nearly always by the water drank. If the
water Is not pure, or if the ice in it is not
pure, sickness will result. The deadly germ
Is the thing that makes trouble, and too
great care cannot be exercised in guarding
against it. « •< a

colonel came out he asked the meaning of
the gathering and he was replied to by
Lieutenant Sibley, who said: “Colonel, it is
with the greatest of pleasure that I pre
sent you with this sword and belt in ibe
half of the officers of the Third regiment.
Take it, colonel, and may it prove of use
to you.”
Col. Ray said: ".Gentlemen, this Is an
unexpected pleasure, accept ray thanks for
your beautiful gift and I will endeavor to
show you how much I appreciate it.”
■ The officers gave three cheers for Col.
ißay and they were joined by the whole
regiment. Captain Sibley was presented
with a pair of gold spurs and Mrs. 'Ray
was given a beautiful paper weight.
Lieutenant Alpheus W. McCall was also
presented with a splendid of Colt’s pistols
by a friend.
Col. Hay Piotests.
When Col. IRay learned of the telegram,
which Senator Bacon had sent he is re
ported to have ibeen annoyed.
He called the officers before him and
told them that he had taken the liberty to
use their names in sending a telegram to
the secretary of war in which he asked
that he pay no attention to the message
of Senator Bacon,
The officers said that while appre
ciated the senator’s thoughtfulness they
did not think that he should have sent, the
telegram. They all seemed anxious to go.
Following is the telegram sent by Colonel
Ray:
Macon, Ga., 'August s—(Adjutant General
United (States Army, Washington, ,D. C. —
I see by tonight's paper a protest from
Senator Bacon against this regiment going
to Santiago. The officers and men of this
regiment are willing and anxious to go
and do their duty in any place they may be
called, and have no sympathy or interest
in the protest of Senator Bacon, ibut depre
cate it. 'Ray, Colonel.
Being Paid OH'.
Major Howell, the paymaster, arrived
yesterday and it was his intention to pay
off yesterday, but the money did not ar
rive, He commenced this morning, how
ever. It has been said that every man in
the regiment wants to go Santiago, but it
is a well known fact that there are meij
who do not want to go and who intend to
desert if possible.
It was rumored in camp last night that
every man in the camp had signed a peti
tion stating that they would not go, but it
proved to be without foundation.
'The officers were paid today and if any
one needs money they do, as they have
paid their men’s expenses to Macon and
those who were returned had to be sent
home and they have loaned money out to
the men. They have not received any pay
since they have been here.
The crowd at the camp yesterday after
noon was the largest ever seen there and
it is probable that such a large crowd will
never be gathered there any more. Many
seem to think that these boys who enlisted
did not know that they were joining an.
Immune regiment but the officers all say
that they did and that their excuse is a
very flimsy one.

WARRANTS ISSUE.
Prompt Steps Taken to Suppress the Trou
bles at Oshkosh.
Oshkosh. Wis., August 6. —The manufac
turers have determined to fix the respon
sibility for the labor riots here.
Warrants were issued this morning for
•the arrest of Khad, secretary of the Na
tional Woodworkers’ Union, and Geo. Zent
ner and Michael Troeber, the two local
leaders.
The complaint was made by Mr. Paine, of

conspiracy to do malicious injury to the
said company by terrifying and intimidat
ing the employes by means of threats.
Khad and Zentner were arrested today
and were given an immediate hearing by
Judge Goss, of the municipal court. The
date of their trail was set August 12th and
bail was fixed at $2,000 each, which was
furnished and the prisoners were released.
Everything is quiet today and the mills
are running with non-union crews.
Seventy-five special police have been ap
pointed and Chief Weisbrod feels confident
that he can supress any disturbance.

ENDORSED By
PRES, ROGERS
He Says that the Anniversary
Edition of The News De
serves Encouragement.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,
Through The News, Gives Its Un
qualified Endorsement to the
Undertaking.
The Chamber of Commerce gives its un
qualified endorsement to The News’ Anni
versary and Carnival Edition.
Mr. Morrison Rogers, president of the
Chamber writes to The News as follows:
The 'News Publishing Co. —'Gentlemen;
I desire to add my cordial endorsement of
your proposed Carnival edition of The
News; in which you propose to present in
proper form the many advantages that en
title Macon to consideration. Such ad
vertisement of our city cannot fail to do
good, and deserves the encouragement and
support of every citizen.
It will be a fitting preface to the grand
Diamond Jubilee Carnival, and will sound
the rally for this most signal event in our
history.
Speaking for myself, and voicing I be
lieve the Chamber of Commerce. I wish
you abundant success in your laudable
undertaking. Yours truly,
R. M. Rogers,
Pres. ’Macon Chamber of Commerce.
Such an endorsement as this is especially
valuable and gratifying. It represents the
sentiment of the business community and
voices the opinion of hundreds of other
prominent men who have the interest of
the city at heart and who know that the
Anniversary Edition of The News scatter
ed broadcast over this country is bound to
benefit indirectly every business man in
iMacon.
'But Mr. Rogers is only one out of many
others who have voluntarily given their
strong endorsement to this enterprise
which The News has undertaken for the
good of its city. There are many other
prominent and influential men who speak
of the edition as the wise and proper step
for the representative newspaper of a city
to take.
TIME LIMIT
IS UP TODAY.
But Southern Express Com
pany Still Refuses Pack
ages.
The Southern Express Company has not
given out any information about its policy
in regard to revenue stamps. The compa
ny is still refusing to accept packages un
less the shipper buys and affixes the stamp.
Under the ruling of the Georgia rail
road commission the company was given
five days in which to get ready to comply
with the order to affix the stamps their>-
selves.
As soon as the decision was announced,
says the Constitution, the gist of it was
•sent to the general manager in New York,
He and President Plant and Mr. Edwin, of
the general counsel, have been considering
the situation ever since. It may be that all
the express companies in the United States
•are preparing to take the question right up
to the supreme court.
Under the decision of the Georgia Rail
road commission the Southern Express
Company must decide today what it is go
ing to do, for the time limit expires to
morrow at noon, or if Sunday is not coun
ted, the time would expire on Monday at
■noon. It is probable that if the company
continues ibo refuse to pay for the stamp
the commission will takes steps to compel
it to do so. In addition the company will
be liable to be sued on every case where
a package is refused.
The representatives of the Southern Ex
press Company have received no instruc
tions from headquarters, but they look for
some today some time. There is good rea
•sop to belipve that when the time expires
the coippany will go to furnishing the
stamps, and trust to congress to repeal the
revenue law, or that part of it which hits
carriers.
When congress convenes, whether in ex
tra or regular session, there will be offers
to amend the revenue law and the corpor
ations are going to try to escape from it as
soon as possible. The railroads never ques
tioned the tax, but went ahead a once and
furnished the stamps on bills of lading.
The railroads will contribute to the gov
ernment through tne stamp act $25,000,-
000. The express companies will contribute
$3,000,000 and the Southern’s stamp bill in
Georgia alone would be about $60,000 a
year.
When the revenue bill was first intro
duced it provided for a tax on the gross
income of corporations. This was after
wards changed to the stamp act and tne
only semi-public corporations which es
caped were the 'telegraph companies. It
has been stated in explanation of their
good luck that their attorneys at Washing
ton were a smoother article thajr the rep
resentatives of any of the other corpora
tions of similar character.
ONE CENT FOR
EACH PURCHASE
Made in Cash at Store of
Huthnance & Rountree
for Relief Association
The Soldiers Relief Association met in
regular session yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Mallory Taylor, president, present
ed her resignation, but the association
recognizing Mrs. Taylor’s great efficiency
and splendid work refused unanimously to
accept the resignation.
It was resolved to give all possible as
sistance to the entertainment to be given
at Ocmulgee park on the afternoon and
evening of the 15th instant for the bene
fit of convalescent soldiers at Fort 'Mc-
Pherson. Mrs. W. D. Lamar will prepare
a list of those ladies willing to furnish re?
freshments and will forward the same to
Miss Seisel.
It was made known to the association
that there is a great lack of ice-bags, cap
sules, beef extracts, soups, etc. in the regi
mental hospital of the First Georgia at
Chickamauga. Mrs. J. F. Hanson was ap
pointed as a committee of one to expend
$5 at once in these needed articles and to
follow up this small amount with more as
soon as explicit instructions could be re
ceived.
Considerable time was consumed in .its.
cessing ways and means for providing the
Third regiment, now at Camp Price, but
ordered to Santiago, with necessary sanl
tary clothing. The necessity for these
sanitary bandages if fully appreciated by
the association and there was not a dis
senting voice as to their being furnished;
the only question was whether or not the
government will provide these necessary
articles. Finally it was decided that Mrs.
W. D. Lamar should confer with the offi-
cials and if the government Is not to fur
nish these things then the association will.
In the meantime in order that no time be
lost. Miss Dietz. Miss Boone and Miss
Bonn were appointed a purchasing com
mittee to await instructions: and Mrs. W.
D. Lamar and Mrs. Winship were appoint
ed each a chairman of a specially invited
cutting committee. These biles at their
residences will have the bandages cut and
the ladies of Macon are earnestly request
ed to hold themselves in readiness to re
spond to a call for help in the matter of
sewing, whenever such call shall be made.
Mrs. J. F. Hanson, of the purchasing
committee for the Army and Navy League
reported purchased and made fifty-eight
shirts, fifty-two sheets, thirty-six pillow
cases, and sixty towels. These articles
have been shipped to (Mrs. Governor At
kinson with the request that if not needed
in Atlanta they be forwarded at once to
Santiago.
Miss Boone, for the Army and Navy-
League, reported the following articles
sent in response to a call for contributions
from private families: Sheets, twenty
seven; pillow cases, twelve: towels, six
teen; undershirts, sixteen; night shirts,
twenty; drawers, twenty-nine; handker
chiefs, seven; negligee shirts, nineteen;
socks, eight pairs; spread, one; quilt, one;
slippers, one pair.
The ladies wish to express their sincere
appreciation of the readiness with which
their calls for aid are met. In 'every in
stance the response has been so prompt
and so generaous that there has been ab
solutely- no delay to make proposed ship
ments either to Chickamauga or Atlanta.
On every- hand the ladies are assured of
the willingness of Macon people to contri
bute according to their ability and they
wish to express their thanks in the most
emphatic manner.
Mrs. W. D. Lamar read the following
letter from Huthnance & Greene:
Mrs. W. I). Lamar, A’ice President Sol
dier’s Relief Association:
Dear Mrs. Lamar: Recognizing the
splendid work for you and your associa
tion are doing, we thought to adopt a plan
in vogue in other places to help this cause.
We are willing to give one cent on every
cash purchase made in our store during
this month, commencing Friday, the sth,
no matter how small or how large the
purchase may be. We propose to have a
box in a conspicuous place in the store
which we will lock and turn the key over
to you, and every time a cash purchase is
made we will drop one cent into this box,
and on the first of 'September you can un
lock the box and take the contents.
Please let us know what you think of
this plan. Respectfully,
Huthnance & Rountree.
It was resolved to accept this generous
offer and the secretary was instructed so
to inform 'Messrs. Huthnance & Rountree.
There being no further business the
meeting was adjourned subject to call,
