This means a fight of no small dimen sions of the members of the board are as determined to uphold the rate as Mr. Horne is to bring it down. Speaking of the matter this morning Mr. I Horne said that it is not his desire to bring | about a condition of chaos, but the rates i are too high in Macon and a committee | was appointed by the Chamber of Com- : merce six weeks ago to look into the mat- ■ ter and report. That committee, so far as I he knows, has not acted, and the best way I to bring the matter to adjustment is to j bring on a direct competition. “If the local board is ready for a fight I on rates,” said Mr. Horne, “I will be i forced into the fight, but if they a~e rea- I sonable and take the question in the light ' that I do, there need, not be any Trouble j about it at all.” In this effort to reduce the ratese of in- I suranee in Macon it is said that, Mr. Horne will have the support of the property own ers and the people generally.

CHAIRMAN DAVIS WAS SURPRISED When He Read the Mavor’s Statement About the Bridge. HE DIO HOT KNOW That the County Was in Charge of the Bridge—Will Investigate the Matter. Chairman G. M. Davis, of the county commissioners, was seen this morning and asked what he thought of the mayor’s statements to the effect that the county and not the city should build a 'bridge. "I was very much surprised,” he said, “when I saw that the mayor claimed that the bridge (had been turned over to the county yeans ago. It was my first knowl edge of the matter, but it seems strange to me that the city has been keeping the bridge in repair if it belonged to the coun- I ty.” He was asked if the county would build a new bridge and he said: “We won’t do so unless it is our duty to do so, but if it is our duty the county will certainly build a new bridge. 1 think that a new one should be built and from what I can learn the present bridge is in a very bad condition. I have never made and in spection of the structure, but. if we take the matter in hand it will be necessary for me to do so. The time is past for such a bridge as that and we should have a new one. “The city at one time charged toll for 'teams to pass over and I have paid the toll a great many times. It is news to me that the bridge is in charge of the county. I cannot remember when any of the com missioners ever had anything to do with the bridge and I have been here for a long time. But still, we need a new bridge and I 'think that one will be built. The county commissioners will investigate the matter and If it is found that the bridge really belongs to us. we will build a new one." There has been a great deal of discus sion about Whether the bridge belonged to ■the county or to the city, but it. seems that a majority of the people think that the bridge is in charge of the city. The mat ter has been discussed by several promi nent people and they are of the opinion that the city owns the bridge and that they should build a new one at once, The bridge has been repaired, or at least that is what the city authorities think, but. a careful examination Os the bridge will sihcw that the bridge cannot be repaired so that it will last any length of time. A new bent was placed under the abutment on this side of the river, and the bridge was opened to foot passengers yesterday after noon. The new bent cannot be of much good, as the old structure is badly rotten and Lt will not be long before the old bridge will be a thing of the past. Chairman Ellis, of the committee on public property is Os the opinion that the bridge is entirely safe, but the people of East Macon and those on this side of the river who have made an inspection of the bridge, do not agree with him. City Engineer Wilcox refused to discuss the matter several days ago and it is sup posed from that that he thinks the struct ure unsafe. The bridge is no safer now for foot passengers that it was a month ago. The center of the bridge between the rock piling in the center of the river and the bank is greatly swayed, and peo ple are of the opinion that it will not be long before the thing falls through. The timbers ate rotten and so is the flooring. A prominent citizen of East Macon stated last night that he would not be surprised at any time to hear of the bridge falling In. The citizens of East Macon say that if the city does no look after the matter at once they will carry it to the courts and try to 'secure a new bridge. The bridge is a public necessity on a road leading to the court house, and the East Macon people claim that if the city does not keep the bridge in proper repair that it is the duty of the county commissioners 'to do so. They say that they have presented over a mile of petitions asking that a new bridge be built but that they have been completely ignored. The merchants over the river are put to a great inconvenience, as they have to haul their goods by the way of the Spring street bridge, which is very much out of their way, or they have to pay the railroad a $1 a car to transfer the goods ‘to the East Macon side track. The bridge is open to wagons today, but it is thought that it is unsafe for heavy loads to be carried over it. JUSTICES WILL BE INVESTIGATED A Campaign of Purification is Pending for the Near Future. A campaign of reformation of the justice of the peace courts of Macon and of thia county generally, seems to be one of the certainties of the next few months. There has been so much complaint of late and the courts have come in for so much adverse criticism that the justices themselves who have conducted heir courts In accordance with the law are the most clamorous for a rigorous investiga tion It is certain that in some of the courts practices are going on that are disgraceful and a number of the lawyers and people generally under whose observation hese practices have come, say that they are ready *o go before any grand jury and as sist in the investigation. A case in point was that of the shooting which took place in a justice court on Tuesday between a bailiff and Will Boe worth. a negro. The negro says that an effort was made to ns!:: him pay the cost in a criminal eese. This is denied by the bailiffs, but so frequent have been these charges of '.ate that the public generally wants to have the matter investigated very thoroughly and evidence has been collected that will make it go hard with some of the courts. The result will be a purification and a better system of the administration of jus tice. . . We will replace the soda water tickets our customers lost in the fire. Let us know how many you had. H. J.

INCENDIARY FIRE County Commissioners Will Burn Down the Pest House. The county pest house which was built during the smallpox epidemic will proba bly bo burned in a few days. The house is situated near the Log Cabin Club house on the Bellevue road When it was first proposed to build the house •there the people of that section were very much eposed to it and secured an injunc tion against it, but they finally consented to allow the house to be built if the coun ty commissioners would agree to burn the dld'ing as soon as the epidemic was over. Since the smallpox has been wiped out the house has been thoroughly cleansed and fumigated and a man has been living in it since to look after the property. The house cost a considerable amount of money and it is ttiougnt by some that it will be a loss to the coun’ty if it is burned, as the county and the city also have property there Which is valuable. But, 'according to the contract with the residents living near by, the house will have to be burned unless the neighbors de cide to allow it to remain. The .people there have sent Word 'to the county com missioners that they want the house burn ed, and it will be touched off in a few days.

Mr. S. H. Hardwick, of the Southern railway, was in Macon yesterday. He was asked how many soldiers his company had moved during the war, and he estimated the number at 75,000. That is three times the size of the regular army at the time the war broke out. These figures apply only to the troops moved by special trains. Many thousands ■were carried on regular trains. So far, everything has gone smoothly. The officials in charge of the transpor tation felt the great responsibility of hand- I ling the soldiers without accident and they took every precaution. The trains could have been rushed along at a much higher ‘ speed, but the transportation men pre ferred to go slower and get the trains through safely. When a railroad runs ex tra trains, the danger is greatly Increased. , Regular trains are not near so liable to get i in collision or to have other accident* a.- special trains.
