BE JE PLEA
Pnt Up at the Trial of Ab
Tavlor, the Mur
derer.
HON. HOPE POLHILI
Will Probably Defend Him~Many
Opinions Expressed About
the Case.
A special term of the superior court will
be convened Monday to try Abner Taylor,
the man who killed bis wife in the Warrior
district about a month ago.
Judge Eelton is now at Mount Airy with
his family but will return in time for the
session. Taylor has been confined in the
jail since the crime was committed.
It will be remembered that Taylor killed
his wife by cutting her to death and then
attempted to kill her father by shooting
him, from which he came near dying. As- (
let the killing it is alleged by the people
around l.iz.lla, the town near where the
killing was done, that Ben Williamson, a
(prominent farmer, harbored Taylor for
thne days, in hope that he might receive
a reward if one was offered. It will also
be remembered that Taylor attempted to
commit suicide, when he saw that he
would be captured. 'He was brought into
the city badly hurt and it was thought for
some time that he would die. He has en
tirely recovered and now seems in gay
spirits and does not dread the ordeal of a
trial.
It is probable that Mr. Hope I’olhill will
defend him and with him will be associa
ted some of the most prominent attorneys
in the city.
tMr. Polhill stated this morning to a
'N< ws i< porter that the line of defense
would be insanity as he did not think that
there was any doubt about Taylor being
crazy.
/He said that several prominent citizens
of Macon and of the Warrior district would
swear that Taylor is crazy. He says that
if he takes the case he will have a good
line of defense.
A prominent farmer from the Warrior
district stated to a News reporter this
morning that he hail never seen a more
affectionate couple than Taylor and his
wife and that Taylor was unduobtedly
crazy when he committed the crime.
As the time for the trial approaches the
public becomes more and more interested
in the ease and many opinions have been
expressed recently. It Is thought by many
that it will be a hard matter to select a
Jury.
It was thought at first that Taylor would
be lynched but the people quieted down
and the law will be allowed to take its
course.
A majority of the people think Taylor
will he hung but there are some who are
Inclined to think that he will be committed
to the asylum.
Several doctors have expressed their
opinions on the subject and most of them
say that the man is crazy. 'People who
have known the family for years say that
insanity runs in the family and that one
of Taylor’s cousins went crazy a few years
ago.
Public interest in the case is aroused
and the outcome will be eagerly looked
for.
HAVE BIG TIME.
Soldiers in Camp on St. Simons Are Havmg
a Good Time.
St. Simon Island, Aug. 10—(Special)—
The arrival of seven companies of volun
teer soldbers has made August the best
month of the season. The daily visits to
the camp is now the most important fea
ture of the day’s entertainment. There
are drills in the morning, drills in the af
ternoon. and the dress parade at 5 o’clock.
All day long something of interest is to
be seen by the visitors, who never fail to
appear. All is so new and unusual.
We are each and every one learning
something about colonels, majors, captains,
adjutants, lieutenants, and what their re
spective decorations signify. We have al
ready found that the proverbial brass but
ton is not the insignia of rank, that the
trim 'blue eoats, with their tiny crests of
■white, are also things of 'beauty and worth.
But what we have been most interested in
is the divine way in which Uncle Sam’s
graceful boys in blue dance the two stej>
and the waltz. Every evening some thirty
or forty join us at supper and in the dance
■which follows.
The moon has been with us this week
and rendered it hard to choose 'between the
dance and stroll on the beach, or a dip
in the surf. Most, however, have preferred
to glide about under the protection of one
(at a time) of our brave, patient heroes,
to the accompaniment of music into the
realm of the sweet summer girl.
The writer has hit upon quite a business
scheme. With the help of the very dearest
fellow in Camp Gordon, a list has been
prepared of all the officers, showing forth
their state either of single blessedness or
its opposite . for as yet only one officer
has brought his wife amongst us. Strange
a* it seems, they had not heard of the pop
• ularity and the attractions of St. Simon,
and know not even of the existence of the
hotel. 1 hey say this will not happen
again. (Most of them have already sent
for their families. If they all .prove as
charming as Airs. Conrad, a bride of seven
months, in time we may forgive them even
for being married. But go back to the list
The writer, in whose possession it is, is
in her present position decidedly popular
with the fair sex. and really thinks seri
ou> \ Oi making her fortune through its
agency.
The following is a list of the commis
sioned officers and field officers, and the
nan,t! ' of their respective companies. It
shall not now be told which of these gen
tlemen ..re open to engagements, suffice
''° Say ‘ hu the number is fifteen, and

From " V ’ tati " n to dinp at Camp Gordon.
From the private’s table to that of the
semor officers, the gav glrls flit
bnngmg. as those rallnnts a , sure a bR
of brightness into the gray tents. Noth
ing short of real battle can be so impres
sive as the solemn dress parade, with the
majestic accompaniment of the ocean’s
roar and the grave, patriotic airs of the
band, as with “hep. hep.” the beach re
sounds. The ocean stretching far beyond.
is a back /ground worthy the picture.
The other amusements remain the same.
Riding, bicycling, bathing, fishing, hunt
ing. card playing, seem to be enjoyed as
much as ever. Another concert is being
arranged for Sunday night that for super
lative excellence must pass down into his

sent from Meeting.
Mr. T. J. Carling, of the Railroad Com
mittee of the Carnival Association has re
turned from Atlanta, where he had been to
ariange for rates to the Ca-alv.tl. Mr.
Carling went in the interest of the Carni
val Association, and asked the railroads
for cheap rates to the carnival. The asso
ciation could not give Mr. Carling a satis
factory answer, as three of the railroads
of the association were absent from the
meeting and it was impossible to act with
out their being present. Mr. Carling was
assured, however, that the would be satis
fied with the rate given him.
Mr. Carling asked for a rate of 1 cent
a mile for the round trip. A bette* rate
than was granted last year will probably
be in force this year.
Mr. Carling was informed that the other
railroads which were not represented at
the meeting would be communicated with
and that as soon as an answer was receiv
ed he would be notified of the rate granted.
Mr. Carling expects to hear from the
railroads by Saturday.

MACON WOMEN
CAN VOTE NOW
Will Get a Chance to Sav
Who Will Represent
Their Citv
1$ ■ 01 THE CARNIVAL,
Each Vote Will Cost Five Cents and
the Contest Will be Lively for
the High Honor,
The executive committee of the Macon
Carnival and Diamond Jubilee Association
met yesterday evening and took up a num
ber of matters of detail affecting the pre
parations for the carnival.
The principle matter before the commit
tee was he selection of a king of the car
nival.
After some discussion it was decided to
allow the people of Macon to select their
own king. He will be elected by the popu
lar vote and in this way a considerable
amount of interest will attach to the con
test.
The only qualification for a voter will
be that he or she will have to pay 5 cents
for a vote.
In this election the voter may cast his
or her ballot early and often, and it will
be the first time that the women of Macon
have been allowed to vote in a poular elec
tion.
A number of prospective candidates have
already been mentioned, but no official an
nouncements have as yet been made by the
candidates or their friends, but the nomi
nations will soon be coming in at a lively
rate.
The polls will keep open until the day of
the opening of the carnival and a commit
tee of managers will be appointed to take
charge of the count. -
The polling places will be announced in
a few days. Os course at first the contest
will be a little slow, but it will be run in
earnest in a very short time.
The honor of being king of Macon’s car
nival will be a big one and it will be more
eagerly sought than any public office in
the gift of the people of this city. Rules
to govern the contests will be allowed and
any candidate found guilty of bribery will
be thrown out.
The proceeds of the contest will go to
the carnival fund.
MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
Aidermen Who Will Stay and Who Will Go in
September.
There is coming to be some inquiry about
the next municipal election in Macon,
which will occur on the second Saturday in
•December, and there is some interest 'to
know what aidermen’s terms will expire
then, and what aidermen will hold over.
The aidermen whose terms expire in De
cember are A. W. Gibson, from the second
ward, and J. H. Williams, John T. Moore
and Mallory H. Taylor, from the city at
large. By late legislative amendments '.o
the city charter, the number of wards in
the city has been changed from six to four
and the number of aidermen from each
ward has been changer from two to three,
making the total number of aidermen
twelve In order to adjust conditions to
the amendments to the city charter, there
are at present four aidermen from the city
at large, but each of the four wards will
have three aidermen. In December there
will be one aiderman elected from the first
ward, two aidermen from the second ward
and one aiderman from the third word. No
aiderman will be elected from the fourth
ward.
Eight of the present board of aidermen
will hold over for another year, namely:
First ward—Charles D. Pearson and
Charles E. Damour.
Second ward—W. A. Wilder.
Third ward —Sam Mayer and T. Gray
Goodwyn.
Fourth ward—W. T. Morgan, X. R. Win
ship and E. D. Huthnance.
There will be no election for mayor next
December. The term of the present incum
bent, Hon. S. B. Price, will not expire un
til December, 1899.
COLOMBIA" AG REES
To All the Terms Laid Down
bv Italy on Ceruti Claim.
Rome, August 11. —It is credibly report
ed that Colombia has fully agreed to the
Italian demands in the Cerrut'ti matter.
In 1885 Cerrutti, an Italian subject, re
siding in Colombia and conducting a mer
cantile business there, was adjudged by the
Colombian government to be an abettor of
the revolution then in progress.
His possessions were declared forfeited
and their proceeds confiscated as contra
bands of war.
Cerrutti demanded satisfaction and ap
pealed to the Italian government. The in
ternational dispute thus generated lasted
until 1897. In that year President Grover
Cleveland, to whom, as arbitrator, the dis
pute had been referred, decided that the
Colombian government should pay Cerrutti
$300,000 and should assume debts accruing
to him from 'the loss of his business.
The Colombian government accepted the
award so far as paying the $300,000 dama
ges was concerned, but refused to assume
the debts. In this latter behalf the Colom
government contended that it was a sub
ject never submitted to the arbitration.
Consequently the arbitrator’s decision
thereon was ultra vires and null.
Recently the Italian government has un
dertaken to collect the entire award under
threat of taking a Colomhtan seaport and
sequestering the amount from the current
collections of customs duties therein. For
this purpose a flotilla of Italian warships
has been in Colombian waters for some
weeks.
EASTMAN AND MACON
Will Play Ball for Benefit of Soldiers’ Relief
Association,
Captain Charles Harris, of the Macon
baseball team received another letter from
the Wiregrass Warriors this m ining,
stating that they would play Milledgeville
on Friday, the 19th. and would return
here on the 20th to defeat Maeon.
It is possible that they may do this, but
it is not at all probable. Captain Harris
is getting together one of the best amateur
teams that can be secured and he will
show the mudslingers from the wiregrass
region that they are not the only team in
the state.
Captain Harris said this morning that
the battery which will do rhe work for the
Macon team on that date is going to sur
prise the people. The game is to be played
for the benefit of the Soldiers' Relief Asso
ciation and it will no doubt draw ft large
crowd.
The game will be played at the Central
City park and will be called promixtlv a’t
3:30.

DON’T MIND THE WEATHER.
Shrewd Lady Shoppers Are’Not Deterred
from Bargain Hunting.
Although the w.’ither for the jast tw»
or three days has been more or less slop
py and threatening, the ladies were not
teen d? »--»l iner.'by fiom '■•hopping.
Hundreds are down town every day snap
ping up the rare bargains that are being
offered.
Especially is this true at the Fair Store,
where Mr. Smih, the proprietor, has inau
gurated a 20 per cent discount sale, on ac
count of removal to his elegant new store
on Cherry street. The Fair Store, as is
well known, is conveniently located for
wet weather shopping on account of its
close proximity to the car lines. It can be
reached from almost any part of the city
by the Vineville, South Macon, East ’Macon
and Belt Line cars, which deliver passen
gers within twenty feet of the doors, while
the Macon and Indian Spring cars deliver
passengers only a half block away.
Thus the ladies are enabled to visit the
(Fair without inconvenience to themselves
or the danger of getting wet. And they
are evidently wise in flocking to the Fair
regardless of the weather, for the many
rare bargains that Mr. Smith is offering are
being carried off by the dray load, and it
is not best to wait for fair weather while
these goods are going at such prices. In
asmuch as the Fair delivers all purchases,
wet weather is still less a drawback to
successful shoppers.
At the present rate it is not likely that
■the 20 per cent discount sale can continue
longer than this month, so it is best not to
wait. Besides, a day or two may cause
you to miss the very things that you are in
need of, and which you are now able to get
at- a greater saving than you have ever be
fore known of.

BEING RUINED
Bv the Continuous Rains—A
Prominent Farmer Gives
His Views.
Much anxiety is expressed by the farmers
coming into town today about the effect
of the rains on the cotton crop. It has
been raining almost every day for the past
few days and it has greatly injured the
cotton.
It is causing the cotton to take the rust
and is making it shed rapidly. 801 l
worms are also making their appearance
in some sections of the country and are
rapidly destroying the fruit. If the rain
does not hold up son the cotton crop for
this section will be ruined.
Mr. C. A. O’Neal, a prominent farmer
■ from IMusella, stated to a News reporter
this morning that his crop was almost
ruined, “My crop,” he said, “will make
scarcely anything. The rain has almost
ruined it and if J did not have my pota
toes, corn and peas to fall back on 1 do
not know what I would do. iMy cotton has
the rust badly and the boll worms are
playing havoc with it. I will probably get
a half crop.”
Mr. O’Neal is one of the biggest formers
in Crawford county and is one who be
lieves in living at home. He brought in
300 pounds of home-raised meat to sell to
day and says that he has plenty more at
home.
The warehousemen say that if the crop
is short a high price will be paid for cot
ton. They think, however, that the crop
will be as large as ever and that low prices
will prevail.

Is Being- Reduced
Is gratifying to us, because we are anxious to hurry the work of moving, and
beneficial to the public, because so many people are buying things they need at
what they might well afford to pay for things the} f don’t need.
In Crockery, Glassware and everything else in our line we have always led
the procession, both as to quality and price. And now that we have applied a
uniform
Discount of 20 Per Cent
to everything in stock, on account of removal, we are so far ahead of everybody
else handling similar lines that they hardly hope to compete with us. This is
no idle boast, but a fact easily demonstrated by a comparison of prices.

BIG MEETING AT
INDIAN SPRING.
Successful Gathering of the
Agricultural Society at
the Wigwam.
Indian Spring, August 11.—The Georgia
State Agricultural Society opened its an
nual convention here Tuesday morning at
10:30 o’clock in the ball room of the Wig
wam.
Only three living ex-presidents, Colonel
L. F. Livingston, ex-'Governor W. J. Nor-
It'hen and Colonel John O. Waddell, are
here. So are Colonel R. W. Andrews, of
Hawkinsville; Major Mark Newman, of
Sandersville; J. M. Mobley, of Harris
county; John M. Edwards, of 'Baldwin; J.
'H. Black, of 'Sumter; James Barrett, and
IM. V. Calvin, of Augusta; E. H. Elington,
of McDuffie; (Pierce Horne, of Whitfield;
J. Lindsey Jonhson, of Floyd; R. J. Red
ding, of 'Experiment Station; J. B. Hun
nicutt, ex-commissioner of agriculture, and
O. 'B. UStevens, the new commissioner of
agriculture.
The president’s annual address was on a
great theme and was skillfully handled.
At 10:30 o’clock Hon. Pope Brown pres
ident of the society, called the convention
to order.
There was a prayer by Rev. R. C. Saun
ders, of Troup county.
Mr. Y. A. Wright delivered an address
of welcome in behalf of the Butts county
Agricultural Association. Mr. Wright said
that the little county gave the society a
most hearty welcome. Sturdy yeomanry
and the beauty o's womanhood did tribute
I to the occasion. The society had met since
: 18-16, for half a century, and the names
of its honored members are emblazoned
upon the pages of Georgia’s history.
After the tribute to Butts county Mr.
Wright again bade the society a hearty
welcome.
Mr. R. W. Jemison, of Macon, replied
to the address of welcome. He sa>d that
he had been selected for the purpose of
punishment, because when the place O's
meeting'was decided upon for triie year
Indian Spring got all the votes cast ex
cept one, which he cast for Macon.
“I feel like the old Confederate vete
rans,” said Mr. Jemison, “who told the
yankee that he had lived long enough to
say I am sorry we didn’t whip you, but
I haven’t lived Ipng enough to say that
I am sorry I tried to.”
Mr. Jemison reviewed the history t>f
Butts county as the home of '.he pioneer
farmer from the days when the Indian
warrior roamed the woods. It was the last
resting place of the red man in Georgia
Today old Butts is waving with fields of
grain and populated with prosperous farm
ers. He concluded that the thanks of the
memebrs of the society were as earnest as
were the wo’ds of welcome of the repre
sentative of Butts county.
The annual address of the president,
Hon. Pope Brown, was a strong argument
in favor of training the people in manu
facturing, so that the raw products may
be utilized at home.
When the afternoon session was called
to order Hon. L. F. Livingston addressed
the convention on “Aggressive and Re
munerative Farming.” The opening of his
address was devoted to some historical
I reminiscences of the society, paying a tri
! bute to the men who built up the society,
many of whom had passed over the river.
Colonel Livingston said he would not
stick to his text. Ho. then spoke of the
society, saying that all its presidents bad
to meet the charge of being a politician af
ter office. The reason the presidents of the
. oeiety had held high office was because
they were natural leaders and the offices
| were thrust upon them.
; “As for myself,” said Colonel Living
! ston, “I am trank enough to say that when
, an office is thrust upon me I do not refuse
it. (Laughter.) And no man with a heart
and a head on his boulders would refuse
the honor.”
He said the Georgia State Agricultural
Society deserved the credit for making the
present stock lay, and creating the office
or commissioner ot agrjculiufe in [he
president’s cabinet.
The colonel then closed with a eulogy
on the Georgia farmer and showed that 'he
needed mors education on [he subject of
scientific farming.
Ex-Governor Northen made a statement
about the Omaha exposition and what
Georgia is doing there. He said our state
A
was making a name for herself. He spoke
of an .intended excursion which he hoped
all would go on if possible.
Colonel J. 0. Waddell introduced a reso
lution for the appointment of acornmi’ttee
of eleven, one from each congression'al
district, to promulgate and disseminate
such a paper as would fully set forth
Georgia’s advantages as an agricultural
and manufacturing state, and that the
railroads be asked to co-operate.
Colonel Livingston and Governor Nor
then explained that this was meant to
show what the state was and could do.
The resolution was unanimously adopted.
Rev. J. 'B. Hunnicutt delivered an ad
dress on “Scientific Agriculture.”
Last night at 8 o’clock a special meet
ing was held for the purpose of hearing
Colonel R. J. Redding on “Corn, Hay or
Shreded Cornstalks.”
The address was an able one and was
listened to attentively by the large audi
ence. Colonel (Redding fully dealt with his
subject in an exhaustive manner.
