the First Regiment, Have
Returned Home.
CARNES MA! GET A PLACE
With First Regiment if He Wants
It—Two Popular Officers Throw
Up Military Careers.
Second Lieutenant Hazlehurst, of the
Macon Volunteers, and Lieutenant George
Snowden, of the Macon Guards, have re
signed their commissions and will return
to their business.
It is not yet known who will be appoint
ed to fill the vacancies, but It is whispered
that Mr. Charlie Carnes, who was Captain
Hunter’s predecessor in command of the
Macon Volunteers, will be appointed to
fill one of the vacancies. Thia rumor can
not be confirmed but aa no positive denial
la given out there ia every probability in
the world that It is true.
Captain Carnes, it is known, has been
making a strong effort for a long time to
get a commission it being his purpose to
adopt the army as a life profession. He is
a thoroughly posted military man nad will
make a most excellent officer.
The Macon Volunteers, and in fact the
whole of the First regiment deeply regret
the loss of Lieutenant Hazlehurst, who has
probably been the most popular officer in
the regiment. He has been the Macon
representative of Inman. Swan A Co. for
some time and hie house was extremely
anxious to secure his servicee again tov
this m.ason. He took the matter under
most serious consideration and In view of
the probable mustering out of the whole
regiment in the near future he decided to
return to civil life.
Mr George Bnowden le also regarded as
one of the most valuable young cotton men
In this section and the Inducements of
fered to him to return to his business were
very strong indeed. He will be greatly
missed by the officers and members so his

CITY OF MACON
SAILED SATURDAY.
She Carried a Good Cargo—
Compefltlbfl Between Ma
con and Hawkinsville.
The City of M<s,x>n left for Brunswick
Saturday aftertom at 4 o’clock. The
boat had on' t'oard a large cargo and the
captain expects to take on a large num
ber of barrels of naval stores between here
and Brunswick.
The boat did not remain In the city long
as there is a great deal of competition be
tween the Macon steamer and the Haw
kinsville boats and the own.?ns were anxi
ous tnat the l»aic get under way a® sooo
us passible. Following were the shippers
on the return trip.
Cox & Obappel, Dunlap Hardware Co.,
Willingham Plow Co., Adams Bros & Co.,
Payne & Willingham, 8. R. Jacques &
Tinsley Co.
Capt. Hathaway expects to get back to
Macon by next Tuesday. He said Satur
day that he thought that he would reach
Brunswick Wednesday and that he would
leave as soon as be could get his cargo.
The owners of the boat are very well
pleased with the last trip and say that
every trip that the boat makes will show
that a line of boats are necessary between
here and the coast. The boat has already
lowered the freight rates between here
and 'Brunswick, and if there were other
boats it would proba'bly cause the rates to
be made lower than they are now.
AMENDMENT -
TO CONSTITUTION.
Providing for the Election of
Judges of Superior Court
IWill Come Up.
At the next state election the people
will decide whether or not they shall In
future elect the judges of the sperior
court and the soli cl tore general.
Pretty much everybody is aware of this
fact in a general sort of away, but there
are little details with which they are not
acquainted.
It Is not a new thing for Georgians to
elect judges and solicitors, for the plan
was tried during the latter years of th©
war, and if an action of the majority goes
to prove anything, the custom was not a
good one, said « prominent lawyer yester
day.
At any rate, just after the war, Georgia
decided that she would stop the practice,
and so there was a constitutional amend'
ent providing for the appointment of these
officers by the governor.
And this custom prevailed for some
years. After about a decade, however, the
people seemed tired, or desired a change,
and In 1877 there was another constitu
tional amendment. Thia provided for the
election by the legislature, and has con
tinued up do the present time. It is juat
the turning of the wheel, and we are get
ting back to where we were before.
Persona familiar with the practical his
tory of the state are acquainted with the
fiact that several times before there was
an effrot made to increase the numebr of
supreme court Judges from three to six.
Each time the effort was voted down, but,
finally, ae we all know, the amendiaent
to increase to six and that election should
be so by popular vote, was carried. And
*o the three new Judges were voted for.
At the same time the ticket* will have
printed on them, "For constitutional
amendment,” “Against constitutional!
amendment.”
This will mean that the people will de
ride whether or apt in the future they
shall have Ln their power, or the privilege,
whichever it is, of having a voice in the
selection of the judges of the superior
court and the solicitors general This con
stitutional amendment was offered at the
Hst session of the general assembly.
Although it is possible that the amend
ment will be passed before the time when
the judges shall be elected by the legisla
ture, it will not be operative.
There are a great many people, both
profeesior.al and laymen, who are opposed
to the election of judges by the people,
and who think that the present method is
the safest oue.
There are others who favor ft, and there
are said to be good as arguments in favor
of the amendment as there are against it.
The most general opinion, seems to be
that the amendment will carry.
Rev. W. B. Coatley, of Btockbridge,
Go., while attending to tris pastoral duties
at Ellenwnod. that state, was attacked by
cholera morbus. He says: ”By chance I
happened to get hoM of a bottle of Chaxn
berlaki’e GoiFc. Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, and I think it was the means of
saving my life. It relieved me at once.”

WATER AND GAS
Rites Will Be Investigated by the Commit
ttee Tomorrow.
The committee on water, gas and elec
tric power, which was appointed by the
Chamber of Commerce to Investigate the
rktes on water, gas and electric power,
will meet tomorrow afternoon at the
Chamber of Commerce at 4 o’clock.
The committee held a meeting last week
tmt nothing definite was done owing to
the lack of information about the rates in
either cities.
The necessary Information has been se
cured, however, and Che committee Is go-
to make a thorough investigation of
the water, gas and electric power rates of
Macon.
The committee have already said that
the rates were too high, but they have not
y* taken any action on the matter. They
Will probably meet the committee appoint
ed by the Macon Gaslight and Water Co.
ahd the committee from the city council
ai their meeting tomorrow.
It is not known yet what will be done,
but it is thought that a satisfactory rate
*IM be arranged. Kicks have been made
about the water rates for the past two
ybars, but no attention has been paid to
them until about three weeeks ago.
The Chamber of Commerce instructed
the committee to give the matter a thor
ough sifting and the committee seems de
termined to do so. The following gentle
then compose the committee:
George A. Smith, chairman; S. 8. Dun

’ROUND MORAN.
The Farmers are Not at All
Satisfied With the
Outlook.
Moren, Ga., Aqg. 29.—The crops in this
Section of the country are badly damaged
by the rains which have fallen constantly
for the past two months.
The farmers very much worried over the
prospects and many of them seem to think
that their crop will be out off over half.
The newspapers have been reporting
good corn crops from all over the country,
but around. Moran only a half crop will
be made. The corn is rotting very fast
and in a great many places has the dis
ease known as "smut.” The fodder, which
the farmers had piled was all ruined and
that which is left on the stalk is in very
■bad condition and will not be fit for use
If the rains continue.
801 l worms have infected the cotton in
the last few days and they are raising
great havoc. For awhile they only at
tacked the blossoms, but now they are
entering int othe grown bolls and are des
troying them. The bolls, 'too, are rottip.g
And the cotton which has opened is falling
to the ground. Cation around here has
Always taken on a large top crop about
this time, but the rains and the boil
worms wil perevent that this year. Old
termers who have lived In this section for
years say they have never seen such a
Season as this before. One of the old citi
zens of the place said yesterday: “I have
lived here for forty years and never before
have I seen such a season as this has
been. I have seen dry seasons and wet
keasons, but this is the longest siege of
yaln that I have ever known.”
The cotton has grown rapidly in the past
two weeks and the weed is exceedingly
high In eome fields and will average six
feet, but there is nothing on it.. One
farmer said yesterday that his whole crop
was a complete failure, He said that his
crop throughout would average about four
bolls to the stalk and I am in doubt as to
bow long they will remain there.
The cane will be somewhat behind this
year as the rains have caused it to bake
on another growth. The pea crop Is finer
this year than ever before and more peas
will be made this year than In some yeans.
The farmers who have Ipst their fod
der are busy cutting hay, of which there
is a fine crop.
The watermelon and peach season is
pver and those who have apple orchards
will begin to gather next week,

AN OLD MAN
ASSAULTED
By Footpads Saturday Night
—Was Badly Hurt.
Mr. J. W. Hart, an old man, was as
saulted by footpads near the reservoir on
Foundry street Saturday night and was
terribly beaten up.
He was driving along in his buggy on
his way home when he was atacked from
behind. He was badly hurt about the
head, and It seems as if his assailants
used some blunt instrument in striking
him. lit is thought that their purpose was
robbery. Mr. Hart was taken o his home
and physician was called in to dress his
wounds. The police were notified of the
assault and began work on the case at
once, but no clue has ye»t been found. The
robbers did not secure anything from Mr.
Hart, as it seems that they were frighten
ed off before they could complete their
work.

MORE TESTIMONY
EOR ASPHALT.
Chairman Davis of the County
Commissioners Has Some
thing to Say.
Mr. G. M. Davis, chairman of the board
of county commissioners, and Mr. R. L.
Henry went down to Savannah on Satur
day night and spent yesterday in that city
in a thorough inspection of the paving of
the city. Mr. Davis was seen this morn
ing by a News reporter and when asked
about the asphalt he said: “While in Sa
vannah I saw all kinds of pavements.
They had the sand, shell, Augusta gravel
belgian block, cobble stones, brick and
asphalt. The asphalt beats anything I
ever saw. 11 is smooth, and you can’t
even hear the noise made by wagop wheels
There is only one thing to say about
asphalt and that is that it is perfect. The
people there are all delighted with it. I
talked with all kinds of people about it
and everybody is well pleased with it.
“If they ever pave oiie street here with
asphalt the people would want nothing
else. It is easily repaired and I noticed
the main thoroughfare which has been
paved with asphalt for seven years and
there |s not a break in It. Mr. Horne’s
company has Drayton street payed with
it and it is among the best streets there.
“The other gentlemen who accompanied
me are of the same opinion as myself and
say that they think the asphalt pavement
would be a great thing for Macon. As for
myself I am highly pleased with it and
would ‘like to see iMacon have several
streets payed with asphalt.’’
The Savannah paying has now been in
spected thoroughly by Messrs. Ben L.
Jones, H. T. Powell, Marion Erwin, G. M.
Davis, R. L. Henry and I. Hardeman.
AH of these gentlemen have expressed
themselves as delighted with the work
tha has been done by the Southern Asphalt
Company in that city and as a matter of
fact they are wedl pleased with asphalt
and are enthusiastic on the subject.
It may be said that they will all favor
asphalt should the question come to them
for a vote.
The opinion of thosewho have seen the
asphalt should be enough to satisfy the
general public on the subjec t.
Mr. Horne said this morning.
"Any others that may go do»n or want
to comment on asphalt pavements
ought not to judge our work without see
ing it or condemn asphalt pavements on
account of Inferior work of other compa
nies.’’
