MANAGEMENT
MAY BECHANCED
Hotel Lanier is Again Look
ing Out for Someone to
Take the House.
SPERM INVITED BACK,
Should He Accept It Will Be a Most
Popular Thing With Everyone
Newcomb isfOut.
From an imiide oouroe come* the in
formation that Uif’ Hol’d Lanier may
change haiids again in the near future.
In fact an effort lias been made to In
duce Mr B. B. Sperry, new of the Cen
tral Hotel of Charlotte, N. C., to return
and again take the management of the
houoe. Acceptance by Mr Sperry would
be a moHt popular thing with the traveling
public for, wltixMit din pargement to the
present management. Lt may be said that
under Mr Sperry the Hotel Lanier was
more popular than i't ever was before or
since.
The houst in jointly owned by Mewre.
Sperry and Strang but owing to some dif
forouccH Mr Sperry, who was the active
partner, went out. He. made an offer to
take the hotel at a given rental, but the
offer waa refused on the idea that it could
be more profitably run.
The result, it la said, baa proven the
knoorrectneaa of the theory. It ia not
known whether Mr. Sperry will consider
the proposition or not, but ahould he do
so ho will be most heartily welcomed back
to Mouxmi by a boat of friouda.
The hotel b«m been improved in a great
many ways.
it la not publicly announced, but M la.
nevertheleas, a fact that Mr. Newcomb,
who ima been the manage#- for eome time,
has resigned.

HOW TO LOOK GOOD.
Good looks are really more than Ain
deep, depending entirely on a healthy con
dition of all the vital organs. If the liver
is inactive, you have a bllimw look; if
your stomach is disordered, you have a
dyspeptic look; if your kidneys are af
fected, you have a pinched look. Secure
good health, and you will surely have good
looks. “Electric Bitters” is a good Altera
tive and Tonic. Acts directly on the stom
ach, liver and kidneys, purifies the blood,
cures pimples, blotches and boils, and
gives a good complexion. Every bottle
guaranteed. Sold at H. J. Lamar & Sons
Drug Store. 50 cents per bottle.

LETTER FROM
CAhMLAND
A Macon Soldier Who Voices
the Sentiment of the
First Regiment
HE ROASTS THE OFFICERS
Who, He Says, AreT Making Slaves
of the Men in Order that They
May Hold Fat Jobs.
Extracts from a letter received from a
member of the First Georgia regiment now
stationed at Camp Poland, Knoxville, Ten
nessee, says;
"I nave been requested by quite a num
ber of our boys to write to you an impar
tial statement of facts in regard to the
treatment received from officers of the
reg.ment by the private soldiers, also
their wishes in the matter of being re
leased, or stationed In service. I am satis
fied that there are not fifty men in the
regiment below the rank of lieutenant who
are not extremely anxious to be mustered
out of service.
“We are told that volunteers receive
much better treatment than regulars, if
this be true, may God pity the regular sol
diers of the United States, for the volun
teers are certainly treated worse than
beasts should be treated.
"At Camp Thomas we were compelled
to take long marches, carrying heavy
equipments— two or three days in the
week in the hot sunshine or rain as it hap
pened to be, tbe order o 4 the day—each
day—was heavy fatique duties. Such as
the building of streets, digging stumps,
exercising with pick and spade, shovel and
wheelbarrow and many other laborious
labors which we deemed entirely unneces
sary in the successful training of a soldier.
When not engaged in the foregoing camp
diversions, we were constantly on the drill
grounds, in fact we were either drillinngor
performing other heavy duties from the
beat of the “long roil 1 ’ in the morning
until the “tattoo" sounded at night.
“Our regiment is well drilled in the
manual of arms, also in general maneu
vers and make a splendid show on dress
parade, general review, etc. They are bet
ter drilled, however, in the pick and
shovel.
"The company street at Camp Thomas
will stand as a monument to the labor and
skill of the soldiea 'boys ,of the First Geor
gia regiment for years to come. The
streets were as systematically laid off and
graded as the ,bed of a railroad and as
nicely and beautifully rounded up aa the
most splendid stretch of the public roads
of Bibb county, and that is saying a right
smart, it is true, however.
"We notice from the papers that the
officers are making strenuous efforts to
hold the men In service for the two years'
term in order, of course, to enable Xhem
to hold their fat jobs, some of them hav
ing employed politicians to go to Wash
ington and Intercede for them with the
department for their retention in service.
We will wa.ger a gill of jewa harps against
a jug of slitters that if either of those po
liticians accidentaly got into the bullet
department during the civil war they
mads haste to resign and got a hump on
them and hustled for a bomb proof In
double quick time.
“Our boys volunteered with the deter
mination to perfor their w-hole duty as
soldiers; they expected to go to the front,
fight for their country in protection of
their country's flag and honor; they did
not volunteer to do garrison duty after
peace was made and the war closed. We
volunteered with the definite understand
ing that when peace was concluded that
we would be discharged and allowed to
return to our homes—this was told to us
by the enlisting officers in answer to the
direct question asked by nearly everyone
of us. That time has now arrived; we have
complied with our part of the contract; we
have kept the faith, If we have not been
allowed to fight a good fight. It is no fault
of ours.
•'lf our officers sat idly around and al
lowed the officers of another regiment to
go to the front when we should have gone,
we could not help it, and should not be
censured for it either.
“Our colonel state* that It la a soldier’s
duty to wait and say nothing until the
officers see fit to discharge him. W r e have
never heard of any clause In the army
regulations prohibiting a soldier from ask
ing to be discharged from the armyj we
have heard, however, that it was In viola
tion of the army regulations for officers
to make application themselves or through
other persons to have their commands re
tained in service.
"That this has been done by a number
of officer* in the Georgia regiments will
not be denied I presume, neither will it
be denied that officers have put astopto
the sending of petitions to the department
by the soldiers of the regiment asking to
be disbanded, when they well knew that
M per cent at least of the men were anx
ious to go out. just as anxious for a dis
charge as the officers were for us bo en
list, and as they are now for us to be re
tained in the army as slaves under them
for the sole purpose of securing to them
their fat office* for an Indefinite period
put money in their pockets which 1* all
they can expect, as the time for honor and
glory has passed and gone.
"Our boys have borne the hardships,
struggles and trials Incident to camp life
as well as the heaping of insults upon in
jury by the officers, all without a murmur,
yea more; many of them have borne the
scoffs and jeers from heartless and un
feeling surgeons wehn they were too weak
to stand and were compelled to sit or lie
on the wet ground to await the pleasure
of the doctor In examining others who
were probably In better condition, all of
the time forced to listen to the guying of
the hospital rats and curse* of the doctor’s
plenary power is both honor and glory
with we doctors.’ ”

PRESIDENT
WAXELBAUM.
Os the Carnival Association,
Has Returned from His
Eastern Trip,
President W. A. Waxelbaum, of :hc
Macon Carnival Association, has returned
from New' York. He said this mornir.g
that he enjoyed his trip very much and
while away he heard a great deal of talk
about the Carnival. “I heard lots of
things said about Macon while I was in
the .North. The people up there are ex
pecting a big trade this fall and they say
that times will be better.
“The article w’hieh appeared In the New
York Herald some time ago has attracted
a great deal of attention and everybody
that I talked with said that the Northern
cities should have a Carnival as well as
Macon. Several of the large cities have
taken up the matter and Chicago has de
cided to have a peace Carnival and so has
Philadelphia. But ’Macon was the first city
in America to propose it and the people
say that the town has a great deal of pluck
and enterprise.
“Oon my return I found that a great deal
of work has been done by the committee
and from all reports which I get I think
that our celebration will compare favorably
with any that Is to be given in the coun
try. I received a letter this morning from
Governor Dyer, of Rhode Island, stating
• that he had ordered a silk flag to be made
for the young lady who represents his
state in the parade and that the flag is to
be kept by the young lady as a souvenir
of the occasion. I have letters from several
other governors about the same thing.
“I found a heavy mail awaiting me on
my return and I found a large number of
letters from shows, bands and other at
tractions who want to put up here during
the Carnival. This shows that the Car
nival is being advertised extensively. Our
show is going to be the biggest thing ever
seen In Georgia and the people who come
to Macon during the celebration will be
surprised at the things which we will
have.’*
BEAUPRIE DENIES IT.
He Says that He is Not Going to the Plant
System.
Ex-Superintendent W. R. Beauprle, for
merly of the Southern Railway, Is In the
city today and Is shaking hands with,
friends everywhere.
He was surprised to find that some en
terprising newspaper man had given him
a position w’lth the Plant system, but Mr.
Beauprle said that he had absolutely no
knowledge of any offer having been made
to him.
“It is not true,” he said, "that I am go
ing to the Plant system. In fact I am not
going with any railroad at all. I am tak
ing a rest and propose to keep It up.”
Mr. Beauprle returns to Atlanta to
night.
ITO DECLARE A DIVIDEND.
A Meeting of the Central Railway Directors
Sept. 5.

this time. The president's report will be
read to the directors and other business
will be attended to. It is understood that
a dividend of about 2 per cent is to be de
clared this year on the 2 per cent first

ORGANIZATION
A NECESSITY.
Mr. Frank Hazelhurst Had
Ample Opportunity for
Observation.
FOR FRUIT GROWER’S UNION
He Says They fcGot Better Prices
Than Anyone Else for Fruit
Sent From Georgia.
Mr. Frank Hazlehurst, who has been In
Chicago during the fruit season represent
ing the Georgia Fruit Growers Union as
special agent and F. W. Hazlehurst & Co.
has returned to the city and has some in
teresting things to tell about the handling
of the crop.
Mr. Hazlehurst says that the American
Fruit Growers Union secured better .prices
for the fryit shipped through them than
was obtained by any others among the
commission men and general handlers of
the fruit.
He had occasion to note the great lack
of organization that there is among the
growers of this state.
"If the growers of Georgia had been or
ganized,” said Mr. Hazlehurst, "they
would have secured better prices for their
fruit.
“As it is good prices were secured gen
erally, but another year like this would
not occur perhaps in ten or twenty years.
The crops outside of Georgia were failures
and as a consequence the Georgia fruit
was in demand very generally. Even those
who ignored the Union got fair prices for
their fruit, but some of them thinking
that they could act independently, ruined
their own prospects and interfered very
greatly with the sales of others.
“My advice to the Georgia fruit grower
is to raise early peaches. The Elberta
sold well this year, but it may not do so
again for a long time while the early va
rieties in a food will do well and will
bring good prices.
“I think that the fruit growers of the
state should go more largely into the can
ning and the drying of fruit. When they
reach that point where the surplus fruit
is provided for they will be in better
shape.”
Mr. Hazlehurst says that another year
the fruit growers of the state who have
felt the benefit of the good prices resulting
from the shipping of the crop through the
American Fruit Growers Union will be
more enthusiastic and that the state should
be and no doubt will be better organized.
With organization he says that there is
a greater certainty of getting some good
prices for the fruit. Without organization
it Is simply gambling.
WAS NOT SOLD.
There Were No Bidders for British Steamer
Adula,
Savannah, Aug. 30.—The British steam
ship Adula, declared a prize of war by
Judge Emory Speer, was put upon the
block today at noon, but there was not a
single bidder. Some four or five hundred
people gathered at the custom house, but
all were there, it seemed, out of curiosity.
After the preliminaries Auctioneer Chas.
H. Dorsett made the announcement that
no bid would be entertained for less than
$55,000. Thin was in accordance with the
order of the court. That was regarded as
a little too much to pay for the vessel in
view of the low prices for which some
other prize steamships have been sold in
New York, and this is probably the reason
why three were no bidders.
The Rev. W. B. Costley, of Stockbridge,
Ga., while attending to hie pastoral duties
at Ellenwood, that state, was attacked by
cholera morbus. He says: "By chance I
happened to get hokl of a bottle of Cham
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, and I think It was the means of
saving my fife. It relieved me at once.”

FROM SANTIAGO
Some Letters Received Yesterday from Sol
diers of the Third,
Some letters were received yesterday
from the soldiers with the Third regiment
at Santiago by their friends in Macon.
Others are anxiously awaiting word
which is expected to arrive in a few days.
It is evident that the officers and their
men were kept very busy after their ar
rival at Santiago, as they have not had
time to do much writing. It is a fact,
however, that the regiment is in good
health.
Renovating Velvet and Plush.
A simple method of cleaning velvet,
velveteen and plush is described in The
Ladies’ Home Journal for September by
Emma M. Hooper. The rule applies to all
three kinds of goods, as all have a pile
which if flattened must be assisted to rise
again. With the assistance of a stiff whisk
broom, a pan of boiling water and an
obliging friend who wiU brush up the
nap as you hold the go<ws taut over the
steam the wrong side to the w ater these
materials will lock like new This process
removes wrinkles, brightens the color and
makes the crushed nap stay up when
brushed against the grain and will answer
for black or colored pile fabrics If the
velvet has a grease spot on it, remove it
with French chalk before steaming A
sticky spot may be Hgi tly touched with
clean cokl water ixu'ore ths steaming
pT'oess
We would be glad to have
our old friends and customers
call on us at our new quar
ters on Second street.
