ECHECONEE
CAMP MEET
Will Commence Next Satur
day Morning at the Well
Known Location.
THOUSANDS WILL BE THERE
It is Expected that this Will Be One
of the Largest and Most Impor
tant Ever Held.
PouJh Macon and the city as well as the
suburbs generally will be largely repre
sented at the Eh con nee camp meeting
which commences on next Saturday morn
ing.
The Echeeonnee camp meeting is looked
forward to probably with greater interest
than any camp meeting or other religious
gatherings in any portion of the state by
the Methodists and their hosts of friends
in other denominations in the surrounding
country for more than one hundred mile*
around.
The good people of Houston, Crawford
and Bibb counties gather together once
each year for the purpose of teaching and
being taught the old time religion by pre
cept and example during the several days
set apart for that special purpose.
The (Rev'. F. H. Branch, presiding elder
of the South Macon conference, will or
ganize the meeting and remain on tb*
grounds as presiding officer during the
meeting and will also participate in con
ducting the services during the week. Tins
able and efficient elder will be assisted (by
quite a number of eloquent ministers from
the different circuits throughout the South
Macon conference and probably some from
other conferences in the state.
The .Echeconnee camping ground is sit
uated near Echeconnee station on the
Southwestern railroad thirteen miles from
Macon in quite a beautiful little dell sur
rounded by hills all of which are adorned
witli groves of trees and shrubbery filled
to repletion with foliage and flowers, all
of which furnish a magnificent view of
wild and picturesque scenery, charming to
behold in its beauty and grandeur.
Conveniently near the camping ground
there are several bold springs of -pure free
stone water “boiling up” in sufficient
quantities to stop the -thirst of the thous
ands of soldiers at Chlekatmauga camp
with the large number of stock on band
thrown in for good measure. Those springs
are thickly surrounded with large and
beautiful magnolias which cause the
springs to ever remain it) the pleasant
shades of the clustering leaves of the
trees.
A commodious pavilion, centrally located
with seating capacity for at least four
thousand on the grounds. Surrounding this
are twelve cottage tents which will be oc
cupied by some fifteen or twenty families
living in Bibb and Houston. There is also
a comfortable “preache’s” tent which will
be occupied by the ministers in attend
ance. On tlio grounds is also a large and
convenient public tent where the hungry
and thirsty can always be supplied at short
notice and reasonable prices.
Among the tent holders are the follow
ing: J. -B. and W. A .Willis, John Grace,
J. R. Avant. E. B. Vinson and i.Mr. Dun
bar.
A general good time may be expected
by all who attend. Good order will surely
be observed and maintained if the com
mittee has again secured tlie services of
Mr. Warren Moseley as police officer for
the grounds. -Mr. Moseley has acted in
said capacity during each camp meeting
at that place for several years past and
has always succeeded in keeping the best
of order -without any trouble whatever at
any time notwithstanding the large num
ber of people under his immediate control.

ville and did not come to town during the
day.

papers.” said Chairman dußignon yester
day. “except what T have said before—that

Macon news Tuesday evening, august 16 ißg&
PEACH SEASON OVER.
This Year’s Crop, While 50 Per Cent.
Larger than 1894, Brings Less Money.
Taa: :ais has been a great year for
peaches is not doubted by anyone Th
yield was larger and the frud was more
lucmus than it was in 1854, but it is doubt
ul if the planters got as much money for
toe crop.
An old fruit man estimates that the pres
ent crop is fully 50 per cent greater than
that of 1894. Peaches sold then for 60 and
13 cents a bushel. This year they have
rul. d about 50 cents. While the season is
not over, the best fruit bas been shipped
and although shipments will continue to
come during this and next month, ft will
be a clingstone variety, the demand for
which is only fair.
The varieties now in the market axe late
Grawfords, late Pickets and a few Susque
hanna*. in the last two weeks the sup
ply has dropi*ed off materially, which
caused the price to jump up from 60 cents
a bushel «tfl. The quality is poorer thau
it was two weeks ago. At present there
ate no white peaches in the market. This
variety is very much much sought for pre
serving in brandy, and some calls have
been made for them.
Advices from growers are to the effect
that the yield of this variety is fair, out
the qualify of the White English peaches
is poor. These peaches generally sell for
$1.50 and $2.50 a bushel, but the price very
largely depends upon the demand for them.
The apple crop is snort. In fact, it was
about a failure. Tne pear crop is also
short, but the quality of the fruit is good.
The shipments from the Savannah, Flor
ida Railway and up the Savannah river
are fine. (Pears sell for from $1 to $1.25 a
barrel. This crop will not last long. The
rains of the last few days may damage the
fruit to some extent. Fall peaches, how
ever, are some tougher and will stand a
rougher season, but JK<‘n a damp season
will damage the growers will
not realize from 'the crop by
reason of the irtfffUS’ quality. Clingstone
peaches will decay rapidly once they get
in condition to decay.
A fruit man said yesterday that while
he had no advices from growers of an un
favorable nature, yet ho was expecting
some, if the rains continued a day or two
longer. There were possibly two hundred
crates received in Savanah yesterday and
probably as many today. This will prob
ably drop off week after week until the
season closes. The price has started up
ward and it will not stop until the crop
has gone. A great many bushels of
peaches have been canned and evaporated
this year, but the experience of those en
gaged in this industry in 1894 was not al
together as satisfactory as they had hoped
for, and while a great deal of canning and
evaporating was done, probably as much
as last year, a great many more bushels
might have been utilized than were, owing
to the increased crop. ,
Canned peaches of 1894 were sold a few
montns ago by Fort Valley concerns at a
sacrifice in order to clear their warehouses
for the present crop. Hardly any dried
•peaches were to lie obtained a few month*
ago, and some predict that the money
that will be made out of the present crop
will be in evaporated fruit.
EARL DE LA WARR
TOOK BIG BRIBE
Arid Then Tried to Get Hoclev
to 1 ake Back His Tes
timony.
London, August 16.---The queen’s bench
division of the high court of
justice today resumed the hearing
of the motion to commit Earl De La Warr
ami Messrs. Broadley, Bradshay and Ruck
er for contempt of court in attempting to
induce Hooley, the bankrupt promoter to
falsify the evidence in the bankrupt oQui't.
Mr. Hooley explained the discrepancy
'between his statement that he had paid the
Earl De La Warr 50,000 pounds and the
Earl’s statement that he had received only
25,000 pounds, by saying Chat he paid the
later 25,000 directly and subsequently paid
him an equal amount through Mr. Groad
ley, Hooley’s agent, for division between
De La Warr and Lord Albermarle,
Hooley said that he had since discovered
that Broadley had kept the 25,000 pounds.
Regarding De La Warr’s alleged offer of
1,000 pounds if he (Hooley) would contra
dict his formei* evidence, the bankrupt said
that Broadley, at the Brunswick Hotel,
offered him oney in the Earl’s presence;
and the correction of certain statements
which De La, Warr wished him to make
was written out there. Hooley deposed in
the presence of the Earl.

WILL MUsfER OUT
MANY TROOPS.
President Will Pass an Order
Todav Dispensing With
Service of Many Men.
Washington, August 16—The president
will late today order the mustering out of
the large number of enlisted men. The
troops to be mustered out will include all
the volunteers calvary and volunteer ar
tillery in the United States a.t the present
time and a large nura'ber of infantry regi
ments.
The whole number is not yet determined.
The mustering out order possibly may be
delayed until dispatches are received from
Merritt respecting the conditions at Ma
nila; Dispatches are expected from the
general at almost any hour.
MAY DISBAND SECOND CALL.
Washington, !Aug. 16.—Secretary Alger
has decided to appoint a board of army
officers to consider the matter of disband
ing part of the volunteer army, especially
those troops mustered in under the sec
ond call. It is deemed necessary to take
some such action because of the heavy
expense entailed by maintaining »uoh a
large force.
Aside from the expense it has been a
very difficult matter to find sites for
camps, and if the present force can be re
duced the necessity for the establishment
of additional camps can be avoided.
Many of the men mustered in to the
service have been serving at a very great
personal sacrifice, and it is most neces
sary to muster these men out of the ser
vice in order that they may return home
and resume their business.
The board to be appointed by the sec
retary will meet as soon as appointed and
consider the advisability of mustering out
a part of the army; the establishment of
new camps, the most advantageous dis
tribution of the troops at the old camps;
decide upon the troops to be assigned to
permanent garrison duty in the Philip
pines, Cuba and Porto Rico; the disposi
tion of surplus or unnecessary camps and
other equippage in general, and regulate
ail matters pertaining to the army.
A similar board is 'to be appointed by
the secretary of the navy, for the purpose
of selling ships that have not been doing
duty in the Cuban blockade and cannot be
further utilized to any advantage, and to
adjust many other such naval matters.
Porto Rico’s Tribute
The island of Porto Itico pays Spain this
year in taxes $1,874,874, of which only
$650,000 is spent for tho benefit of the na
tive population. Os the 489,207 whites on
the island only 98,867 can read and write.
Tho illiterate aggregate 695,328. The
Spaniards supported by the Porto Ricans
number not. less than 85,000.
The Tunnel of tl.e Alps.
The Simplon tunnel in tin Alps is to be
between 12 and 13 miles long, and yet the
Swiss firm of Brandt has contracted under
a penalty of SI,OOO a day to bore it by
electricity in one quarter of the time and
at three-quarters of the expense involved
in making the Mont Cor ip tunnel.
