4 HE ACCEPTS HIS NOMINATION Hon. Charles L. Bartlett Has Written a Letter to the! Committee ON IROUBLESOME TIMES When Letter Was Written-ls Op posed to Territorial Expension and Political Enlargement. Hun. C. L Bartlett, of Bibb, who has been nuuuuiiaud for congress by the Democrats of the {sixth district, has ad dressed the following letter of acceptance to the notification committee, Messrs. B. I’. Bailey, J. it. Van Buren, E. M. Owen; ‘'Gentlemen 1 am in receipt of your let ter of the 20th ultimo hi which you inform inc that 1 have been unanimously renom inated by the Democratic convention in the Sixth congrt .-sioiiel district of Georgia, held at Gnllin on June 17th, as a candidate for representative in the Fifty-sixth con gress. ■ 1 beg to assure you, and through you tb< people of the Sixth district, that 1 am deeply grateful at this exhibition of their confidence ami esteem and shall endeavor to merit their approval by pursuing a course in congress in keeping with the fundimental principles of the Democratic party, and by favoring such measures as will, in my judgment, redound to the good of my people ami of the whole country. “We are ujhiu troublesome times; the country is now engaged in war with Spain, inaugurated and begun lor the purpose of freeing an oppressed, persecuted and de fenseless people in the island of Cuba, at our door, from outrage and wrong, starva tion and murder and destruction, and to punish the treachery of a perfidious nation that destroyed our battleship, Maine, and murdered our sailors, while our Hag floated over them, who were upon a friendly visit, by invitation and in their harbor; and to drive from this continent the Spaniards, who have for years devastated the island of Cuba and carried on such a miserable government, and such cruelty as to make their proximity to us unendurable. These causes were just, and to punish them for their insult to the American people and their murder of our sailors. “Out of the war new issues have sprung, and will arise, 1 fear, in their settlement, the great Questions at issue between the Republican and Democratic parties, as embodied in the Chicago platform of '96, may for a while be lost sight of, and that we may be invited to embark upon new and untried schemes of territorial aggran dizement and acquisition of territory far ■beyond our limits and necessities, requir ing a large standing army and an immense navy, but the American people will event ually consider these questions and settle them right. For myself, f believe that the doctrine and policy that this government should pursue, as laid down by Washing ton in his farewell address that — 'The great rule of conduct for us in re gard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as pos sible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. 'Why forego, the advantages of so pop ular a situation? Why quit our owu to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by in terweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambi tion, rivalship, interest, honor, or ca price?” Anil ‘by Thomas Jefferson— 'Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations, outangling alliances with none"— should be upheld, and 1 believe they will ‘be eventually; and that the two parties. Republican and Democratic, will, when the noise and smoke of the present war have died away, again be marshaled to meet each other upon the issues created by the doctrines as embodied in the two platforms at Chicago and St. Ixniis in 1896, when that battle is renewed between them, 1 shall be found in the future, as 1 have in the past, standing with my people; ad vocating the great doctrines as embraced in the Chicago platform of 1896,, and en deavoring by my vote, as long as 1 remain in congress, to do everything in my judg ment for the preservation of the liberty ot the independence, both personal and financial, of the people of this country, and the preservation of the government to our children and the coming generations; and the upholding of the principles that the Democratic party have maintained since its organization, and especially those as announced in the Chicago platform of 1896, which I regard as the greatest of them all. 1 accept the nomination, so unanimously tendered by my people, and pledge them all my ability, all my energy, and all the power that in me lies to serve them faith fully. honestly and as efficiently as I may have the power to do. Again assuring you of my high esteemed and personal regard, 1 remain very truly your friend, C. L. Bartlett. CA.JSTOHTA. Bears the Ihe Kind You Have Always Bought GEORGIA INCOME BONDS. Will There Be A Dividend on the First Pre fered Incomes. There has been a good deal of specula tion in this market among those who are Interested in the lirst incomes of the Cen tral of Georgia Railway during tne last two or three weeks, says the Savannah Morning News. Many holders of the bonds have sold them under the impression that the road had decided not to pay a dividend this j ear. Where they got that impression is not generally known. It is founded proba bly upon the belief that the road has de vidtsl to put out all of its surplus earn lugs la the extensive improvements which it has been making, not only in die Ocean Steamship wharf, but also in its roadbed between Macon and Atlanta. These im proiements have been very extensive and have greatly increased the value of its property. They will enable it to reduce operating expenses. The New York Commercial, in its issue of August 17. in a leading article in its financial column, discusses the subject at considerable length. It says that although the road has earned enough above its fixed charges to pay five per cent, on the first incomes it will not pay more than 2% per cent., for the reason that it has spent so much in making permanent improve ments. The Commrecial says: “The sub ject seems to be that, while a full 5 per cent has been earned upon the first pref erence income bonds during the fiscal year that has just ended, it has been consider ed unwise to pay the full amount and that the holders will consequently have to con tent themselves with the payment of 24 per cent. This, however, is accomplished by very gratifying accounts of the prog ress the road has made during the last year or so and of the prospects which open before it for the present fiscal year.” CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

Gives a Statement of His Side of the Case—Fined by the Recorder and Sent to Supreme Court. A sensaitonal fight—if fight It could be called, occurred on Mulberry street, the ‘fighting ground of Macon, yesterday af ternoon at 5 o’clock. The participants in the affair were Clint Porter, a young man nineteen years of age, “Judge” W. F. Cannon, better known as Frank Cannon, a prominent resident of Toomsboro, and for merly a merchant and aiderman of Macon. Cannon is old enough to be Porter’s fa ther, and perhaps, grandfather. He has only one arm, the other having been left on a battlefield during the civil war. Judge Cannon was talking to Mr. Ed Adams, opposite Benner’s saloon. He was squatting down, country fashion, holding a heavy crooked hickory stick under his one arm. Porter approached him and snatch ing the stick away, struck the old man a heavy blow over the head. Two more blows followed in quick succession and the old man fell on the sidew’alk groaning and more than half stunned. So quickly was the assault made that bystanders had no time to interfere. Por ter struck again at Dr. T. A. Cheatham, who was approaching him, but failed to hit him and throwing the stick away walked quickly off and later was found by the police over a saloon in Wall street al ley. Judge Cannon was carried to his room over Benner’s restaurant and was given medical attention. It is not thought that he is seriously hunt, but his age and the fact that he has only lately risen from a sick bed may retard his recovery if it does not cause a dangerous turn. The cause of the difficulty brought out another sensation. It seems that young artharantngi otfegroana htrahtrar rohara Porter, who is well known and well con nected in the city, was with Judge Cannon down in the city during Tuesday night and yesterda morning. The game broke up late and at Judge Cannon’s invitation Porter accompanied him to his room to sleep out the rest of the night. Cannon says that he awoke in the morn ing to see Porter quickly leaving the room. Half an hour later he got up and after put ting on his clothes, he noticed that some papers and his spectacles were lying on the floor. He examined his roll of money and finding that $25 was missing, he at once came to the conclusion that he had been robbed by Porter. He went to his place of business —the Cotton Exchange, on Fourth street, where Porter is employed and accused him of stealing the money. Porter indignantly denied the accusation and used some epithets to strengthen the denial. Cannon then had a warrant taken out in Judge Balkcom’s court charging Porter with the theft, and the young man was taken before the court. He still denied the charge. In some way the matter was settled and it is said that Porter’s mother promised to pay the money, but this Mrs. Porter after wards refused to do. Immediately after wards Porter went to look for Cannon and on finding him committed the assault. Mr. Porter was seen by a News reporter this morning. He said: “Cannon and I left the club room to gether about 4:30 a. m. I was on my way home and he was going to his room at Benner’s. As we passed Benner’s he in vited me to come in and have a drink with him. I told him that I did not care to drink, but finding that I did not have my keys in my pocket decided that I would wait there until time to go to breakfast as I did not want to wake up my folks at home at that hour in the morning. “I walked into Benner’s and sat down at the table and fell asleep and at 5 o’clock I awoke, walked over to the bar counter and asked for a bottle of beer. Cannon was standing at the counter and I asked him if he would join me in a drink. He said: “ ‘I don’t care if I do.’ “He took a gin cocktail and I took a bottle of beer, and he said: “ ‘I am going up to my room and lie down and rest but I can’t go to sleep as I am a countryman and cannot sleep in the day.’ ” “He asked me what was I going to do. I told him that I was going to wait there until time to go to breakfast. He then said: “ 'I have two beds in my room. Why not come up and lie down and sleep an hour or two’ ” “I told him that I was afraid that I would oversleep myself. He said ‘there is no danger of that for I am a countryman and cannot sleep in the day and will wake you at any time you say.’ “I told him that I would accept his proposition if he would be sure and get me up in time to get to work. We then went up to the room and as I was un dressing, he asked what time I wanted to get up, I told him by 7 o'clock anyway, and he said: “ ‘All right, I will have you up at the point of the hour.’ ” "I fell asleep and after awhile woke up. Not having a watch I did not know what time it was. I dressed hurriedly, went down stairs and saw that it was 6:15. “I went to my breakfast, then went to the office where I was employed. About five minutes to 8 Cannon approched me at the office and told me that he did not want to expose me but if I would give him back the money that I took from him he would let it drop. “I told him that if he did not get out of my office I would forget myself and hurt him that I had respect for his age I and his infirmity in the loss of one arm. “I ran him away twice. Leaving my office he went up town and was telling it around the streets that I had robbed him of $25. I was telephoned ‘by a friend that he was telling this around the streets and i I went out to look for him. When I found him he was in Judge Balkcom’s office taking out a warrant for me for larceny from the house. I approached him and told him that if he did not stop talking about me I would not have any respect for the loss of his arm and his age. He did not resent what I said to him. Later in the day he found his money, went to my mother’s house, apologized to her for alt the actions he had taken in this matter and afterwards came into the office of Colonel Preston, my attorney, and wrote . a letter to him which he has in his posses sion now. He said that he was sorry that i he had accused me of this deed and would nol pros the case. "M hen he left the office I stayed talk ing to my attorney and he advised me not to have a difficulty with Cannon. I prom ised him that I would not if I could pos sibly help it. I went down stairs and see ing Cannon in front of Benner’s bar I was so indignant at the charge brought against me. that I lost control of myself. I stopped as he was talking to Mr. Adams, jerked the stick out of his hand and trailed him over the head with it. I did not walk up ! behind him..” Porter was tried in the police court this morning and was bound over to the su perior court under a S2OO bond. Porter was represented by Colonel Preston, while Judge Nottingham conducted the prosecu tion. Colonel Preston made a splendid MACON NEWS THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 25 xB 9 B defense but the evidence was very much against him . Judge Freeman bound Por ter over on the charge of assault with in tent to murder. The bond was given im mediately and Porter was allowed to go. CARNIVAL KING. Voting is Becoming Lively With Ellis Talbot in the Lead. The voting for the king of the carnival is bginning to climb up and the votes are coming in rapidly.

AT ST. SIMON’S. Military Are Making Things Verv Gay for the Guests. St. Simon Island, Ga., August 25. —“The last is always best,” yet if this were not true, the past week would still be voted the gala division of ‘the season. And what has made it so? Soldiers, sol diers, soldiers. Whether they have passed before our eyes in gay review, at dress pa rade, guard mount, or been at our sides in the dear deligths of the dance, the re sult is the same. They have filled our hearts as their gay accoutrements have dazzled our eyes and unfit them for seeing other things. Even the surf, glorious as the late un usunally high tides have rendered it, is neglected save by those too old or young to discriminate. •Last week we had a dance , as usual, every night in the week, but on Thursday evening Major Taylor, of Texas, compli mented his friends with a supper, and later a dance, to which all the guests of the hotel were invited. The whole lower floor was thrown open to the dancers. All the furniture was removed and the regi ment band furnished the music. Saturday seventy-five guests arrived from Atlanta just in time to enjoy the military dance given that evening. Again the music was furnished by the regimental band, which was grouped on a corner of the verandah just outside the main hall room. The ladies were busy all the afternoon decorating the apartments in appropriate ■ style. The ball room was especially ad mired, being decked in greens, flags, etc. , The representative flag of the Second I North Carolina regiment were given spe cial prominence. The coming Saturday night will be a rep etition, and all we want now is more pret ty girls. At present the girls have to divide each dance with several partners and this is a hard thing to have to do when you are en gaged with your best or any other good dancer. Can’t Macon force a bevy of her girls, famed for beauty, into active service. All are assured a good time and many trophies to carry home for future reflection. The railroads have recognized the needs and have put on an extra rate for the occasion. Down at the camp many things are hap pening. Throngs of visitors arrive each day from all over the state to visit it and learn more precisely what it means to have Uncle. Sam for a task master with a sal ary’ of $lB a month. The colonel has won all hearts by re lieving the boys from the noonday drill. No ■ more popular commanding officer could be found than Colonel Burgwin. The entire regiment worship him, and justly, for one more courteous or efficient does not exist. This alone accounts for his popularity. However, others whisper about that the colonel’s better half, fascinating Mrs. Burg win, is another and better excuse for her husband’s popularity. Speaking of the camp in this way has made the writer feel that a few notes from the Second North Carolina regiment would be interesting to their friends in Macon, consequently tomorrow an attempt will be made to further monopolize space in the columns of the best newspaper In the state.

MORE SOLDIERS FOR MACON, Letter from the Assistant Adjutant General—Will Work for Those Who Want to Leave Army. Congressman Charles L. Bartlett leaves for Washington tonight on business of the greatest importance to Macon and to the Macon soldiers who want to be mustered out. Congressman Bartlett takes the position that at this time when the services of the men are not absolutely necessary there being plenty of men to fill the needs of the government, those who volunteered for the war, leaving good homes and good po sitions and who now want to be mustered out, should be allowed to do so. He is in receipt, he says, of a large num ber of letters asking for his assistance to have these mustered out who may wish to go, but whose officers and some comrades in arms do not want to go. Congressman Bartlett will make a strong plea on this line for the Georgia soldiers who wish to leave the service and whose families are anxious. ‘Some of them suffering even in their absence —for their return. Congressman Bartlett has been at work to secure more soldiers for Macon and he is very sanguine of success. After the Third regiment of immunes was moved away he at once went to work on the de partment. He has had some assurances of success, though as he says, he has a somewhat difficult task ahead of him. Yesterday Mr. Bartlett received the fol lowing letter from the assistant adjutant general: “In answer to your communication of the!7th instant the secretary of war de sires me to express to you the thanks of the department for the free tender of a site at or near the city of Macon, Georgia, for the encampment of soldiers and to say that the same will receive the careful con sideration of the department.” A MOTHER IN ISRAEL Has Gone to Rest—Death of Mrs. B. W. Collier, of Indian Springs. Indian Spring, Ga., August 24 —At 11:20 o’clock yesterday morning Mrs. B. W. Collier breathed her last after an illness of several weeks. Mrs. Collier was the aged mother of the widely known Collier family of Indian Spring. She was in many respects one of the most remarkable wo men in the state; remarkable not alone for longevity, but for her mentality, her largeness of heart, her energy and great humanity. Even in the evening of life her interest in life never abated, and while longing for the rest that was so soon to come she never failed to show the liveliest concern in all that was going on about her and in her friends and family. Mrs. Collier was as noted for her hos pitality as the resort which is so indis solubly connected with the name of Col lier is noted for its healthfulness. It was her lot and her pleasure to cater to the wants and contribute to the comforts of visitors to the famous Indian Spring for many years, and during her husband’s pro prietorship of the historic old Mclntosh House she became known to nearly all the prominent people of Georgia and sur rounding states, many of whom were her personal friends and all of whom, at one time or another, had cause to love and honor her. Mother Collier was lovefl by every In habitant of Indian Spring, and by every visitor who happened to be brought within the sunshine of her presence. Her moth erly disposition exerted itself at all times for the happiness of others, and it can be truly said that “all who knew her loved her. To see her now in death is but to be •impressed with he beauty, even at such a sad hour, of a life well spent. She has simply fallen asleep to enjoy a well earned rest with the beloved companion of her life, who preceded her to the grave a few years ago. Mrs. Collier leaves seven children as her legacy to the world, in addition to the happiness she has created in in it. They are all worthy of such a mother, and it was a beautiful, though sad sight to see them gathered at her bed side in her last hours. She talked with them of the future and told them goodbye forever as she would ‘have told them good night. The surviving children are Dr. Collier, of Griffin; Judge Collier, of New Mexico; Mr. Bryan Collier, Mr. George Collier, Mr. Whit Collier, Mr. Paul Collier, Mrs. Smith and Miss Carrie Collier, each one of Is well known through the state. The funeral will take place this after noon at 4:30 o’clock. The interment will be in the family burying round at Indian Spring.
