Mr. Hard wick was surprised at the magnitude of th. plans for this spectacle. Aa a matter of fact no one has formed a correct idea of the extent of this workor of thesplendor that is propos'd for the spectacle The work has now been going on for over a month and a number of floats are nearly .-ompl' i • It will be the most magnificent thing ever seen in Georgia or anywhere else outside of New Orleans. At a meeting held laot nigth the Elks de .mi ned to put a fine float in the trades display on Macon day and will themselves turn out In a body. The proportion to have all the eecret orders turn out for the parade is under consideration by the different orders and 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 will go a little ahead of anything else, ac cording to Mr Hardwick The appropria tion for his purpose has already been midv and the designer Is at work. The Central and Georgia Southern an 4 Florida Railroad will also be well repre sented.

The trades display will also be a great 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.

MORE TROOPS MAY COME, Barnesville Will Also Proba bly Get a Regiment if Anv Are Sent to Georgia. 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.” Hnc.Uiln’s Arnica Balve The beet salve In the world for cuts, bruises, sores, ulcers, salt rheum, fever sores, tetter, chapped hands, chilblains, corns, and all skin eruptions, and posi tively cures piles or no pay required.

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.

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.” CASTORIA, Bears the • 13 Kind You Have Always Bougilt We would be glad to have our old friends and customers call on us at our new quar ters on Second street, H.

In speaking of the ■matter this morning he said: ’ Yes, I Snow now that the rate willbe higher this year The tax returns have 'decreased and our expenses are the same. The county was put to a great expense during the smallpox epidemic and it will be necessary for us to raise the rate. "Pulton ccunty has lowered its tax rate for the year but the tax returns in Fulton have increased while those of Bibb have decreased. The people ean easily see that we will be compelled to raise the taxes thie year. The state returns have greatly de creased and it has caused the state to raise ?1 on the 11,000.

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. HOW TO LOOK GOOD.

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. e The Merchants, Business Men and Citizens Generally of • Macon Endorse the .... • MIBEHSIfif MO CAUNIVAL ffITIBI OF THE MACON NEWS.
