Included in the price was an amount which It was estimated it would cent to put th., road in operation between Bruton and Stillmore, thiry-elght miles, and which was to be expended upon the property under the supervision and control of this company. The principal of the monthly payments, beginning September 1, 1897, total SBO,OOO, has been charged to rentals. Under the terms of the purchase the entire amount will be paid during the year 1901. When the road has been put In condi tio nto operate as far as Stillmore, there was a surplus of cash on hand for construc tion sufficient to extend about eight miles further, but In order to reach a more de alrable temporary terminus it was deter mined to extend the road to a point about twenty miles east of Stillmore. The road Is now being operated for construction ac count between Stillmore and Burton, and the work to the temporary terminus will be finished by about November 1, next. It is the intention to extend the line as soon as practicable to a connection with the main line of the Central, when it will be opera ted .is a branch line. Besides opening up a fairly good agricultural country, this line penetrates a good timber region which wiil be of great benefit. and convenience to the company, as there is very little timber, even for crossties, on the main line be tween Savannah and Atlanta and a large portion of the other lines radiating from it.

The war wth Spain for a time affected business quite seriously, but after the first shock was over this was at least to some extent, if not entirely, recovered by the carrying of troops, munitions and supples for the government. “During the war, upon its urgent re quest. we chartered to the government two of our steamers —the Gate City and the City of Macon—to be used us transports. The war now being over the steamers at this date are now being returned to us and the line to Boston will soon be resumed. “The fruit crop in this state, the greater portion of which is grown upon the linos of this company, has been the largest ever known, and as it is understood that the results have been quite satisfactory to the producers, it is expected that the industry wll Igrow It has already become an im portant one and recognizing the diversity of occupation as important to all Interests in the state it has been and will be the policy of the company to give all proper encouragement to It.” THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.

There Will Be Much Speak ing Throughout Georgia August was a bad month for campaign ing. There were too many rainy days, and neither the Populist nor the Democrats could hold many outdoor meetings. Notwithstanding this, the Democrats have been actively at work. The nomi nees for congress are going over their dis tricts and the nominees for the house, senate and county offices are doing a vast amount of quiet and effective work. Colonel Candler was compelled to cancel some of his dates and was prevented from making others by the critical illness of his son. The young man has been improving for the last two or three days and Colonel Candler hopes to be able to fill some ap pointments this week and make new ones. The Populists have been coming out to hear his this year in spite of the orders to the would-be to stay away. When Colonel Candler spoke in Forsyth county the Populists there sent for Rev. Thad Pickett to come over and reply. They gave him $25 to come and hold a joint debate. When Colonel Candler reached Cum ming he was informed that the Populists ■wanted him to divide time with Pickett. Colonel Candler replied that he would be glad to give Rev. Mr. Pickett a chance. Fifteen hundred people had assembled to hear the Joint debate. Colonel Candler waited fifteen minutes for Rev. Thad to appear and then It was rumored that he had decided not to take part in the joint debate, but would hold a meeting of his own. Colonel Candler proceeded to speak. While he was talking the Populist sheriff announced that Mr. Pickett would speak at the court house. Less than 290 people left Colonel Candler’s audience. Mr. Pickett’s course was criticised by the Populists, many of whom declared for Colonel Candler after his meeting. From this week on the Democratic speaking will be fast and furious if the deluge will let up New appointments are being made and the list at Democratic headquarters in the Kimball is getting longer every day.

M’WILLIAMS ILL, The Captor of Tom Delk is Now at Grady Hospital. Atlanta, Sept. 6. —J. H. McWilliams, cap tor of Tom Delk, is in a dangerous condi tion at the Grady hospital. McWilliams has typhoid fever, and is slowly wasting away. The once remarkably robust man Is fast becoming a skeleton of his former self. He was taken from Fulton county Jail to the hospital on last Wednesday evening, and had been ill several days be fore his removal. McWilliams has been a peculiar charac ter since his boyhood, which has not been long, as he is yet a young man. He first bloomed out into more than a neighbor hood prominence when he captured Tom J>el kmore than two years ago. Delk was wanted on the charge of having murdered Sheriff Gwynn, of Pike county. 'Delk was in hiding at a point between Newnan and Senoia. McWilliams lived near by, and he went in search of 'the man accused of the murder. He went hoping to capture him and receive a large reward that had been, offered. Delk was captured, brought here for safe keeping and was fi nally hanged. The stories of the capture as told by Delk and McWilliams differed widely. Delk always declared that he was betrayed by the man, who after getting into his confi dence, made him drunk and tied, him while he was in a helpless condition and then de livered him into the hands of the officers. McWilliams has sworn positively that this aws untrue. He told, just after the capture of Delk, 'that he had come upon the fugitive while he was in the woods near Senoia, and that a terrible fight fol lowed. ’McWilliams would always describe the battle as a horrible one, in which each knew that his life was at stake. McWilliams was a hero in his neighbor hood after the capture, as Delk was great ly feared. Soon after the execution of Delk McWiliams fell from grace and was arrested by government officers charged with illicit distilling. He took his arrest good naturedly when brought here before Judge Newman for trial. After the trial the prisoner asked per mission of the court to return to his home. He said he was a farmer and if taken from his work would lose a good crop, which was then just maturing, Judge Newman grant ed him time in which to lay by his crop. The trial was in April and McWilliams was given until July 5. On the day that his leave expirei the man reported to the proper officers here and was sent to jail. He was given the same privileges allowed other prisoners confined for similar offenses, but the jail life told on him and his chances for re c»v ry are very email. Our Raw Material For Soldiers. The average young American has grown up with the habit of thinking and acting for himself, and when he goes a soldiering he is capable of throwing as much personal zeal into charges like those at Santiago as if he were fighting a duel and the fate of his country and all he held dear depended upon his personal exploits. The well drilled troops cf European countries are formidable enough certainly, but there are resources of Intense personality in such men, as, for instance, the members of Col onel Theodore Roosevelt's regiment of rough riders, that count in a crisis for a great deal more than the passive mechan - leal excellences of the trained soldiery of the military powers. It Is not boasting, but the sober truth, to say that no other nation possesses In the great mass of Its population any such large percentage of fighting material. Great Britain has in her young meu of the higher classes, from whom she draws her officers, as brave and capable au element as can be found in the world. But her farm laborers art no mere to be compared with the eons of American farmers than with an Australian football team. Nor are the young men of her industrial cen ters — Manchester, Sheffield and the rest— in any manner equal to the young men of American towns in physical development or in personal initiative and adaptability. —Review of Reviews. Missed IIIj Manners. An absentminded American recently fell under disfavor in an English club for neglecting to notice a small courtesy. He was entering the vestibule of the club house and failed to perceive that a fellow member was holding open the door for him Courtesy required him to thunk the stranger who bad performed this slight service and then to reciprocate it. As they were both entering the building, and as there was a second door leading into the central hall, he ought t ; have opened it and allowed the fellow member to pass in ahead of him Being intent upon his own thoughts, he pushed in and took no no tice of the stranger who had opened the first door for him. The first man was ir ritated by the slight and subsequently de nounced the absentminded member as the worst bred man in the club, and when the story was told In detail In the smoking room opinion was so strongly against the American offender against English usage that the situation was explained to him, and he was forced to make his peace by an apology for his absentminded breach of good manners.— Exchange. J. W, CABANISS WAS SURPRISED He Had no Idea of the Extent of the Work Being Done by Carnival People. WILL 8E GREAT SUCCESS. Latest News from the Great Under taking that is Now Interesting the Whole of Macon. Mr. Joe Cabaniss, president of the Ex change Bank, was seen this morning and was asked his views on the coming carni val. He was taken down to the park yes terday afternoon and was shown the work that has been done by the Carnival Asso ciation. •‘The work done was a great deal more extensive than I had ever thought of,” be said. “From what I can see there is going to be an elaborate display. The floats are going to be very beautiful I think. I had no idea yesterday that I would find that so much work had been done. I think that the carnival will be the biggest thing ever seen in Georgia and I think that it will greatly benefit Macon's trade and will ad vertise ' the city to a great extent outside. "Everybody seems to be interested in the undertaking and of course when that is true tbe carnival is sure to be a success. It will be a sight well worth seeing and I expect that many more people will wit ness the carnival this year than did last year." The executive committee of the Carni val Association will hold a meeting tomor row afternoon and some very important business will come up. The president re quests that every member of the commit tee be present. Chairman Ellis Talbott received a tele gram this morning from the Whitehead & Hoge Company, of Newark, N. J., saying that a full supply of buttons for the carni val had been shiped and that they would arrive tomorrow or next day. The buttons are said to be very pretty and they will be sold for ten cents. The button is gotten up in red, white and blue colors and has the name of the city and the celebration printed on it. The Carnival Association officers are all hard at work and they are getting things in shape as rapidly as possible. The floats will be finished within the next two weeks. Many of the posters which were received yesterday have been sent out already and the remaining ones will be sent off in the next few days. The heads of the various committees met yesterday afternoon to decide on plans as to how to receive the king each day, but nothing definite was done. At the exec utive committee meeting tomorrow some new features will probably be introduced, and it is likely that the committee will adopt the suggestion made by Mr. Bridges Smith some time ago. If they do it Will surely prove a drawing attraction, as the idea suggested by him is one of the latest things out. We are now ready to fill prescriptions at our new store, Second street, next to Powers’ Curiosity Shop. H. J. Lamar & Sons. attendance” WILL BE LARGE At the Schools This Year. High School Annex Completed. The prospects for a large attendance at the schools this year are very good. Many people from outside of the city intend to enter their children in the schools this fall. The registration books will be open on the 12th and Professor Abbott says that he will be kept very busy from then until the schools open. The new annex to the Gresham High school has been completed and the desks and other school furniture is now being put in. There were so many pupils at the High school last year that it was neces sary to use the gymnasium as a class room and no gymnastics were taught last ye/r. As Miss Wannack has returned to her du ties this year, it was necessary to have the gymnasium room and the board of educa tion decided it was best to add another room to the school. The building is built of wood and it is two stories high. Professor Abbott says that one of the junior classes will occupy the building. The board of education will meet for the first time since July Monday night and im portant matters will come up. They will discuss the work for the present year. We would be glad to have our old friends and customers call on us at our new quar ters on Second street. H. J, Lamar & Sons. WILL DANCE A GERMAN.

Chi chester, of the steamer Pawnee, which ar rived here yesterday from Boston, thinks that the great storm in Georgia on Tues day night and Wednesday did much dam age to shipping. He passed the schooner Robert McFarland, disabled. Shortly after the Pawnee passed another vessel, dis mantled, with only a stump of the fore mast standing. Eater the Pawnee passed two vessels on their beam ends, with decks awash. The Pawnee stood close by, but saw no signs of life aboard. The captain also saw the spars of three vessels which were sunk. He saw a large white boat, but found her empty. A large amount of wreckage was also passed by the Pawnee. Altogether Captain Chichester reports saw seven vessels sunk, dismantled or abandoned within nineteen miles of each other. He believes that the entire crews of some of the vessels have been lost.
