4 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.

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.’ ” CASTOnZA.

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.

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.” For sale by H.

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 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.
