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 Notes Taken On the Run. Hon. W. S. Thomson, of Cordele, is at the Lanier.

(Continued from page 1.) 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.

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 the Paine Lumber Co. on the ch-afge 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.

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, OASTomyv.
