The proportion to have all the eecret
orders turn out for the parade is under

will be rejsorted on at the next meetings.
It is altogether probable that, they will all
turn out This., of iteelf, will make a
spidndid feature of t.he parade as the secret
orders of the city are particularly strong.
The Sou; hern Railway has promised to
put i float in the Macon day parade that

attraction Every leading merchant tn the
city will have a float In the procession and
a number of merchants from other cities
will also he represented.
The Central and Southern Railroads will
have especially fine floats.
The groat war and peace spectacle, in
which the Giving American Flag will be
shown is the feature which will draw the
crowds to 'ho city. The exact production
of the flag was printed in the New York
Herald some time ago and it has created
a world of comment. all the Northern
people are talking of the pluck and enter
prise of Macon
The governors of several states have or
dered flags to be carried by young ladies
who will represent their states. Bvety
bodv throughout Georgia are interested in
the carnival and the weekly press is doing
all in its power to help the Carnival Asso
ciation along In its work.
It Is expected that the largest crowd
ever brought to Macon will be seen here
during the carnival Os course this will
bring a large amount of trade to the city.
Besides the paradts. numerous other at
tractions have been arranged so that the
visitors will 'have something to attend all
the while they are here.
The mon who are in charge of the affair
are working hard to make the carnival a
success and it Is known that Macon never
takes hold of anything unless she makes a

MORE TROOPS
MAY COME,

GOOD WORD FOR MACON
Her Soldiers May Come Home if
They Want to Do So—Dis
charges Will Be Given.
Congressman Bartlett put in some good
work for Macon while be was in Wash
ington and It Is very probable that Macon
will have several regiments of troops here
in the next four weeks. The main object
of hie trip was to get the commandants
at the military schools at Barnesville and
Milledgeville returned to those places. The
officers who were at the above named
places were ordered to join their com
mands when the war first broke out. The
schools will open next week and they will
be without a military instructor. There
are 125 military schools in the United
States and each one of them has an army
officer detached there. President Pound,
of the Gordon Institute at Barnesville
wrote to .Mr. Bartlett several weeks ago in
regard to a ■ ommandant and Mr. Bartlett
decided to go to Washington at once and
lok into the matter. He said this morn
ing that the war department had promised
to send the same officers back to Barnes
ville and Milledgeville on the first of Oc
tober. The schools are very much in need
of rhe officers at this time and as the dif
ferent regiments are mustered out the of
ficers will be sent back to their stations.
Mr. Bartlett also stated that it was bis
understanding that any soldier who want
ed to leave the army could do so by apply
ing for discharge and that the war depart
ment would grant it He said that he had
received numerous communications from
the parents and wives of the soldiers ask
ing that he help them to secure a dis
charge and he says now that they will only
have to apply to the war department
through their officers. He said that the
report which appeared in the Atlanta
Journal several days ago stating that he
was in Washington with Hoke Smith try
ing to get soldiers to be sent at. Atlanta, is
not true. "I was there,” he said, “in tbe
interest of Macon and Barnesville and re
ceived the assurance of the adjutant gen
eral that he would send troops to both of
these places as soon as possible. Both Ma
con and Barnesville have offered to fit out
camps and it is more than probable that
they will get troops.”

SUPERINTENDENT ABBOTT
Is Here Preparing for ths Opening of the
Schooi Term,
Professor D <2- Abbott has returned from
North Carolina, where he spent three
weeks of most delightful vacation.
He was very busy with his mail thia
morning when seen by a News reporter.
The schools will open on September 26th,
and the outlook is that the atten-dance will
be larger than ever. From now on the
amount of work to be done by Professor
Abbott would seem aimost insurmountable
by any ordinary man, but the professor is
a man of the most remarkable energy and
says that his vacation has done him a
world of good. He is looking well, and
his friends, whose name ia legion, will be
glad to know that he has added to his
avoirdupois considerably.
Professor Abbott will have some re
markable fish stories to tell in his leisure
hours, but for the present those w'ho want
facts about the trip will have to go to Dr.
Goodwya, who. with Dr. McHatton, was
with the party of which Professor Abbott
was a member. Dr. Goodwyn ciaims the
honor of having caught the largest trout,
but admits that Professor Abbott fishes as
he works with all his might, an-d it is still
a moot question as to which member of
the party caught the largest number in
one day.
Professor Abbott, however, has informed
himself moat thoroughly on the piscatorial
art and is an ardent deciple of WaltOß,

MACON NEWS WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER x 189&,
COTTON IS OFF
CONSIDERABLY.
Commissioner Nesbitt Gives
Out a Good Interview on
the Subject of Crops.
Atlanta Sept. I—Commissioner1 —Commissioner of Agri
culture R. T. Nesbitt gives an estimate of
the cotton and other crops grown and new
growing in Georgia, and also a statement
epneerning the condit. n of the various
crops. This statement was also sent to
the New Orleans co'ton ex-h i”
It !b one ’bat will prove of ititerest to
those engaged in agricultural pursuits as
aa to the merchatns and business m- n
of the state. It is compiled on the reports
received by Colonel Nesbitt from every
section of the state and in many ways
shows a gratifying situation.
Colonel Nesbitt estimates that rhe cotton
crop will be from 10 to 2'» per cent less
than it was last year. He gives the rea
sons for thia estimate as based on the con
ditions reported from all sections of the
state. The estimate is based, howeve - , on
the conditions at the present time, and it
is not believed that the crop will get very
far out of the range of the estimate.
In speaking of the wheat and fruit crops
Commissioner Nesbiit says thi were
probably the best this state has ever
known. He predicts a larger acreage of
wheat next year and says tbe fruit grow
ers will make arrangements to use the
fruit which they will nor be able to ship,
for lack of cars or crates
The statement in full is as follows:
”1 take great pleasure in giving you an
estimate of the condition prospects, etc.,
of tbe various crops grown and growing
in Georgia for the year 1898. Cotton being
the chief money crop of the state excites
the most interest, and is more carefully
watched and noted than any other crop.
Starting off with a dry May and June, and
with a decrease of 7 per cent in acreage,
the prospect on July Ist was poor for an
average crop. At that date’ the plants
were small and growing very slowly, save
in a few Isolated localities. July and \u
gust have been wet months, resulting in a
large weed growth on the red lands, and
in rust, root rot. blight and shedding on
the gray, level lands of the state. Reports
from the southern part of the state esti
mate the decrease from an average crop at
from 10 to (in some cases) 50 per cent In
most of the counties of middle and north
Georgia the crop is reported as doing fair
ly well, though shedding and rotting of
bolls is taking place. Some fields that
were not clean when the rains commenced,
are being injured by grass and weeds, and
it will be impossible to profitably clean
them now. This, however, will not count
for much in the 'otal yield t.More ferti
lizers were used this year than last, but in
my o'pinion, the increase can be accounted
for by the unusual quantity used on the
various grain crops.
‘Summing up the whole matter and tak
ing into the account the varying condi
tions presented by the different sections
of the state, I estimate that, with a good
gathering season, the yield will be 10 to
20 per cent less than last year.
“Corn has yielded more bountifully, and
on the plantations there will be little de
mand for western corn during the next
twelve months. In some counties the early
planted corn has been badly injured by the
dry weather in June, but this injury is
more than made up by the wonderfully
good crops of the other fields. The saving
of fodder has been retarded, and a large
quantity of it. injured or lost by the wet
weather.
“Our people are beginning to take much
interest in the shredding of the corn stalk,
and as the use of the shredder becomes
general the problem of abundant long for
age will be solved and there will then be
no need of importing western bay.
“The oat crop of the state was a failure
this year, simply from the fact that our
farmers insist on planting oats in the
spring, with the result that a dry May
ruined the crop. The small acreage of
fall sown oats did ver;’ well In the soutS
Atlantic and gulf states this crop should
be sown in October and November, despite
the fact, that it may then be winter-killed.
“In wheat, Georgia never did better than
she did this year. Every farmer who
planted this grain made a satisfactory
crop, and very many made exceptlonlly
fine crops. Unfortunately, the acreage was
not large—probably not exceeding 400,000
acres. There will undoubtedly be an in
crease in the acreage of this crop of from
33 to 50 per cent, and as our farmers have
learned that it pays to prepare the land
well and also to fertilize for wheat. I look
for fine results in the next crop.
“Other crops grown in Georgia—such as
peas, potatoes, rice, sorghum and sugar
cane—are all good at this date, and each
one promises a bountiful yield of its kind.
These crops, though not counted as of
much importance, are of vast benefit, fur
nishing, as they do to our people, a large
portion of their fed supply.
“In the matter of fruits of various
kinds, Georgia has broken her record this
year. Her melon crop, shipped out of the
state, has. I think, reached and perhaps
exceeded 8,000 carloads. Os peaches, most
ly the famous Elberta, she has shipped to
northern markets over 3,?<>o carloads, and
In addition to these many carloads of ber
ries, plums and grapes have gone in the
same direction. So great, was the peach
crop that thousands of bushels were lost
for want of crates in some cases, and for
want of cars in others. Many growers in
tend to provide against such loss in the
future by putting up canning and evapor
ating plants, to save the fruit that cannot
be safely shipped.
The growing of peaches is increasing
each year, and experience has shown that
every section of the state is well adapted
to this industry
“Stock of all kinds are in good condition
throughout the state, and the pastures
much better than usual at this season of
the year.
“The farmers of Georgia would be tn
excellent shape but for the low price of
cotton which is ruinous to many of
At 5 eents a pound for middling cotton no
man in Georgia can hire and feed hands
to make it and hope to dear any money.”

"Pulton ccunty has lowered its tax rate

fl CRITICAL TUBE
During the Battle of Santiago--Sick
or Well, a Rush Night and Day,
PACKERS WERE RLL HEROES.
Their Untiring Efforts in Getting Ainmii
nttlun and Rations to the Front
Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack train No. 3, writing
from Santiago de Cuba, on July 23d, says:
“We all had diarrhoea in more or less
violent form, and when wo landed we had
no time to see a doctor, for it was a case
of rush and rush night and day to keep
the troops supplied with ammunition and
rations, but thanks to 'Chamberlain’s Colic
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were
able to keep at work and keep our health;
In fact, I sincerely believe at one critical
time this medicine was the indirect sav
iour of our army, for if the packers had
been unable to work there would have
been no way of getting supplies to the
front. There were no roads that a wagon
train could use.. My comrade and myself
had the good fortune to lay In a supply
of this medicine for our pack train before
we left Tampa, and I know in four cases
it saved life.”

A NEW TRIAL.
Ross Savs that the Ver
dict Is Contrary to Jus
tice and Equity,
In the city court yesterday a new trial
was granted by Judge Ross to Mr. D. B.
Woodruff against whom a judgment for
S2OO was obtained by Grand Treasurer
Tyson, of the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows.
1 The history of the case has already been
given in The News Mr. Woodruff waa
engaged by the Odd Fellows to draw the
plans for the proposed orphanage to be
built and maintained by the Odd Fellows.
H<- drew the plans and the money was
paid for the work. Afterwards the orphan
age scheme fell through and Mr. Woodruff
returned part of the money, giving his
notes for the balance.
At the last meeting of the Grand Lodge
of Odd fellows the matter was takn up
and the grand treasurer was instructed to
push the suit on the note. Mr. Woodruff
defended the suit in the city court with
•he result that a verdict was given to the
Odd Fellows.
A new trial was applied for and yester
day judgment was rendered on the mo
tion.
Judge Ross said that the verdict is con
trary to justice and equity and for that
reason he reversed it and the case will
have -o be heard again if the Odd Fellows
s’ 11 persist in pushing It.
Beyond his evidence given on the stand
Mr Moodruff has been averse to entering
into any discussion of the case.

DEAL IS CLOSED.
Elks Will Take Control of Commercial Club
or Oct. Ist.
At a meeting of the Macon Lodge of
Elke held last night, the final arrange
ments were made for the renting of the
rooms of the Commercial Club hy the
Elks. The fact that the deal had been
made and practically closed was given in
The News several days ago.
Under the arrangement made between
the Elks and the governing board of the
Commercial Club all the present members
of the club can retain their membership
without joining the order, blit it is under
stood that a number of them will become
members.
Between now and October the first, when
the Elks will formally take possession, the
privileges of the club are extended to the
members of the order who wish to become
members of the club.
While every member of the club must
be an Elk with the exception of the pres
ent members of the club who are not mem
bers It is not incumbent upon all Elks to
be members of the Elks' Club. But it is
more than probable that all of them will
avail themselves of the opportunity.

edition will contain a large number of new views
of Macon and the different points of interest in and
around the city.
No jnereftant or Business man can afford not to fie

the handsomest afternoon newspaper building in
the state.
