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. “Smith.” CABTORIA.

Atlanta, August 16 —The State Demo cratic headquarters were opened yesterday morning at tiie Kimball House and Chair man du'Bignon spent a busy day getting off his mail and dictating circulars and campaign literature.

Entertainment at Ocmulgee Last Night Was Largely Attended, The entertainment last night at Ocmul gee Park for the benefit of the sick sol diers at Fort McPherson, was a great suc cess. The cars were all crowded and the pavillion was filled to Its c-ipacity with dancers. The refreshment s: \nds di-1 a much larger business than was expected. The crowd was one of cne largest ever seen at the park. ~ The entertainment will add greatly to the Relief Association fund, and the sick soldiers will now receive their long needed things. _ j, 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. MACON HUSSARS. Some Promotions Made at the Regular Meeting Last Night.

CHUANCEY GETS STONE’S PLACE. He Has Been Appointed Pas senger Agent of the Macon and Birmingham Road. Mr. M J. Chancey, the freight and ticket agent of the Macon and Birmingham rail road has been appointed general freight and passenger agent of the road to suc ceed Mr. H. Garnett Stone, who has re signed. Mr. Ohaneev will be succeeded by Mr. f’arl DeLoach, of the Georgia Southern and Florida. It was stated in another paper a few days ago that (Mr. J. C. Shaw, of Savannah, would be appointed but yesterday Mr. Julian Lane, the general manager of the road, stated that Mr. Shaw would not bo he appointed and that no one had yet been appointed. It leaked out this morning, however, that the above appointments had been made and when the Macon and Birming ham officials were seen this morning, they confirmed the report. Mr. Ohaneey, the new general passenger agent is well known in the railroad circles as he has 'been connected with the Macon and Birmingham for a number of years. He is fully capable of performing the du ties of this new office and will no doubt prove a competent official. Mr. Car! Del,oaeh. the new ticket agent, is a young man well known in the railroad circles and has been connected with the Georgia Southern and Florida only a short time. He is a young man of great promise and will no doubt prove a splendid official. Mr. Stone’s resignation goes into effect on September Ist and the new men will go into office on that day. Mr. Stone leaves to take charge of .the Georgia Pine rail road, from Hainbridge to Arlington a* general manager. iThe road is a new one but promises to !be one of the best railroad in the country and under Mr. Stone’s man agement will no doubt prove to be a suc cess. 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.
