4 GENTLE ROUST . ONJNINCES Ex-Mayor Horne Says that He Can ,Prove Collusion Between Brick People IN OEFENSE Os ASPHALT, Ex-Mavor Says that He Left Only an Apparent Deficiency- No Nec essity to Issue Bonds. Mr. Henry Horne spoke to lhe properly own, r» of Maoon at the Academy of Music for over two Pours lasi night aud la the course- of his remarks he brought out some matter* that cannot fail 10 he of interest to the people generally. Ii was expected hy many of those who went that the speech would be full of sen aatlon and that It would lake the form of an attack on the city administration. T..,is was not, however, the ease. Mr. Horne was conservative In what, be had to say Principally he addressed himself to the subject of asphalt paving and In detail wont over the manner In which the paving question had been nandk-d In Macon gen erally But Incidentally he paid some attention to the uiy finances and on this subject his audience second to be principally Inter ested This was brought up by tbt statement oonung from Mr W. T Morgati, who had been reported to Mr Horne as having said that it would become Mr Home better to explain his deficiency of $50,000 When he went out Os office ,i- mayor than to he making an attack upon the management of the city's finances «t the present time. The fact tha' Mr Morgan l* the chair man of the finance committee of the city council made this statement of his some what significant is going to show the posi tion takeu by tlio mayor and council to wards Mr Horne. Referring to this remark Mr Horne said ♦hat If three disinterested men in the city of Macon could be found who would say that the apparent deficiency in tjie'flnances at the time h- went out of office was more than $20,000 he, Mr. Horne, would give $250 to the city hospital If Mr Morgan would toand up and agree to pay a like miiu If the deficiency could not be shown to be more than that amount. Mr. Horne Mid that his deficiency was only apparent and that It was not necessary for the council to Issue any deficiency bonds to pay the amount of the deficiency which he nod made arrangements to pay by install ments and the payments could have been made without In any way embarrassing the eltj appropriation; As a matter of fact, how, v, r, bond for $!>O,O0O had been issued to pay off the deficiency which the incoming administration claimed to be due Mr Horne thtn produced figures to show that the present administration had re ceived something like $65,000 more reserve than h„ had during his administration and he said that this increased income proper ly handled with tht $1,20,000 paving bonds would have pav-d th< whole of the paving district of the city of Macon. Referring to tho charge of collusion made In his last speech to the property owners, Mr. Horne said that he was pre pared to prove that there had been collu sion between the brick people in the mak ing of the bid for paving the city of Macon with brick He did not, however, charge that there had been etiy collusion among the city officials Mr Horne distinctly disclaimed any In tention of entering politics at any time in the future, but in the conclusion of his *p-*ech he did say emphatically that If "a certain Individual In the city of Macon should run for mayor at the next ejection he would be in the race and would spend the last dollar he had iu the election .” Tills annouuc incut was received with considerable applause At the outstart of his speech, Mr. Horne Hid that he had no selfish interests to subserve in addressing the audience on tho subject of asphalt paving. He said that while It was a fact that he still represent ed the Southorn Having Company of Bal tUnore, he would not make a dollar by the obtaining of a contract for asphalt paving to the city of Macon. Ho disclaimed hav ing any animosity toward any one la his present course, being simply aunimated by a desire to do what he thought was right by the property owners of the city. While, In the course ot his term as mayor and •Inee that time be had been persecuted and wronged, he said that he bore no anni tnoeity towards any one on account of their actions towards him. He named Messrs Altmayer, Van. Hill, Collins and Carling, who had been mem bers of the council that served under* Mm as mayor and who had been especially bit *er in their opposition to him and any thing that he might have attempted to do nnd for whom he had before and since that time done favors, not once, but many times At tho same time there is not, said Mr. Horne, a single member of the council or any city official who served under him who could say that he had done anything that would be a blemish on his character But. said Mr Horne, it Is time for Macon to wake up It takes time to bring about change* and when a community gets so ridden that the better class cannot take part in the affairs of the city it is time for that better class to move away. Mr Horne said that he is confronted to day by a situation that found him with the men for whom he had done most during his term of mayor in a legitimate way now giving him the cold shoulder or the most lukewarm support. ITIb object In calling tho meeting, he Mid. was to put tho facts of the paving situation before the people of Macon for it le his intention to stand by the Southern Paring Company to the last and if possi ble to have their wrongs righted. Vaeon said Vr Horne, is the only city In the state that iu a matter involving an expenditure of something like $400,000 would allow itself to be placed in the po rtion where the people had no voice in the expenditure of that money. But such is the fact now Mr Horne said that he did not believe that if the people of the city had known that they were not l 0 have a voice tn the question of the material to be used on the streets of Macon they would have voted for the Issue of the bonds, but that the majority would have been larger against the issue than it was for it Mr Horne said that there was one gentleman In the city who, while during hie term as mayor, he had not been very friendly with, he felt now should have his Just dues before the people. It was Mr. T J Carling, said Mr. Horne,, who was Instrumental in saving the people of Macon large sums of monev in the laying of the paving on teh streets. Had it'not been for Mr Carling Mr Horne said, that the paving would have cost the people of Maoon more money than it did. ‘By his wisdom and foresight he had saved the people of Macon $50,000 on the paving Mr Horne sold that he had openly brought charges of collusion against Mr M. Harley, of the Chattanooga Paving Company three weeks ago. but that no notice had been taken of the charge by Mr Lasley. nor had any notice been taken by the city council. It t» of course. Mr Price's privilege, •e'd Mr. Horne, to run his administration ?? he thinks beet, but had I been mayor of Maoor j- would not have ben half an hour after those charges of collusion had been made before I would have called the coun i.tCLgetller !n a session and have called either for the proving of those charges or an apology from the man who g>»4« them. * * -f« Mr Home the® weot over a detailed aocounk of hi* first connection with the paving matter when he made a contract with W. M Lasley and to represent him and his material In Macon. In this mat ter Mr Home had associated himself with Mr. Carling end he bad met Mr. Lasley here when the matter was discussed Aft*-r the first contract for granite cubes -was let. Mr Lasley became uneasy and told them that they were neglecting his inter ests He became dictatorial and Mr. Car ling bad told him that If he did not like his way of running the thing he might *akc his brick and go to a much warmer place where the paving 1* said to be ex clusively of good intentions. Mr. Carling was, as a matter of fact la favor of the use of Macon brick and had induced Mr. Lasley to put in a brick kiln for the purpose of making brick here. It had been the intention of the' administra tion, Mr. Horne said, to pave Fourth street with Macon brick after it was found that the Macon clay would make as good brick as any clay In the United States. But for some inexplicable reason this intentnion was abandoned and the rock was adopted. When it was proposed to call for bids on asphalt, it was a question in the mind of the city engineer whether there would be enough competition and it was at Mr. Car ling's suggestion that advertisements were put out calling for vitrified brick bids at the same time. Mr Horne thtn detailed the manner In which tho bids on the brick had been pulled down by a sharp contest between himself and Lasley But even at the pres ent price eald, Mr Horne while Mr. Lasley eayn that he la putting down the paving as cheaply as it is possible for him to do so, the actual cost of doing the work Is not more than $1.55. Mr. Horne then went over the details of the conduct of Mr Una,Hey, the representative of the Warren B’eharff people whom he denounced in round terms but at the same time he disclaimed any Intention or wish to connect Mr, Dun can in an> way with the matter. He sail that Mr Duncan would not have stooped to the actions of Bradley. Bradley had filed affidavits with the city council In which he falsely charged the Southern Asphalt Company with bad work In order that he might have their bid thrown out. The charges were false and Mr Horne had brought Mr. Shreve, the president of the Southern Paving Company to Macon in ord< r that he might meet an 1 refute those charges and yet the i-ounml committee had not given Mr. Shreve the opportunity and had Ignored him com pletely. Mr Horne said that there had been ool lUHton between the Coldale brick people and the (havanooga people. The former having come to Macon only in order that ihey might uphold the Chattanooga brick people’s prices. Touching on the subject of cement rock, Mr. Horne corrected the statement made at, a previous meeting to the effect that this work coat as much as asphalt, brick or rock, but it is a fact, said Mr. Horne, that contracts have been let for the paving of sixty-seven thousand yards of street in Macon with this material and there had been no call for bids in spite of the fact that a city ordinance says that ail con tracts must be made after competitive bids had been called for In the conclusion of Ms remarks, Mr. Horne said that he was ready to hold up the hands of the mayor and council of Macon so long as they did what was right and honest, but that under the existing conditions the town Is drying up and the confidence of the people of the city w-ho have any money is gone. They decline to make any Investments and they will do nothing that will help the town along. City real estate is a drug on the market and there is absolutely no sale for it and here Mr. Horne cited the fact, that the Johnson A Harris building which cost $22,000, cannot now find a purchaser at $12,500 . Mr. Horne said that the arguments against asphalt, made by the mayor were childish. The fact that it was expensive to keep clean was ridiculed and Mr. Horne said that if Eome of the wastage now going on is stopped there would be found no dif ficulty in keeping tho asphalt In repair and olean. Mr. Horne urged those who were present to do what they could for the city of Ma con and to work together to place the city where It might he the most perfectly gov erned and the best In the union. Discovered by u Woman. Another great discovery has been made and that, too, by a lady In this country. "Disease fastened its clutches upon her aud for seven years he withstood its se verest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and her death seemed Immi nent. For three months she coughed in cessantly and could not sleep. She finally discovered away to recovery by purchas ing of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Dis covery for Consumption, and was so much relieved on taking the first dose that she slept all night and with two bottles has been absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.” Thus writes Mr. W. C. Hammtek & Co., of Shelby, N. C. Trial bottles free at H. J. Lamar & Sons' drug store. Regular size 60c and sl. Every bottle guaranteed. South Macon Dots An Immense audience congregated at Jones Chapel last night to listen to the able and exceedingly interesting lecture of the Hon. N. E. Harris, delivered to a select delegation of Epworth Leaguers from the seven leagues of the different Methodist Methodist churches In and around the city, as well as to the vast aud ience of people who had assembled upon the occasion of this, one of the union meetings being held from time to time with the various churches by the Epworth Leaguers Union of Georgia. The meeting was addressed by the Hon. Xat Harris, Vice President Burden and President Gerdine, after which short talks on experienece were called for by Vice President Burden, who officiated as leader of the meeting Mr. J. J. Cobb was the first to respond to this call of the leading leaguers. He gave a uice little talk, ending by making sundry suggestions upon the proper meth ods of conducting meetings of the leag uers.. This was well received and seemtngly hlgniy appreciated by the large and atten tive congregation. Miss Eula Davidson, of tne Centenary League followed Mr. Cobb, delivering a beautiful recitation upon the superlative privileges and pleasures enjoyed by the leaguers as well as the many important duties enjoined upon each and every one of them. Mrs. J. H. L. Gerdine followed Miss Da vidson,' addressing the audience in quite a feeling and pathetic manner, in which she made a powerful appeal to the mind, and hearts of the people in behalf of the poor, the afflicted and the distressed ones in our land and country. Colonel Harris delivered his lecture in his well known happy style, filling it throughout with powerfully eloquent, sub lime appeals to his audience, declaring therein in emphatic terms that there had not been a revival of religion since the dawn of the Christian ere that did not come through, from or by faith and works And therefore he predicated his remarks upon faith and works alone, his theme being ‘‘All in Christ.” During his lecture he made many beautiful and apt illustra tions. going to show that Ctin.v: is with us on earth today and has been here sines ale advent at Bethlehem Though a stranger He is ever holdiug cut his hands to us for help, as it were, from the people o this lost, tiered, se'* c mdemned >vi lying world of sinners. At the closing of his lecture he read a poem composed by himself while, faint with weakness, he was prostrated on the j brew of one of North Carolina's most lofty meuntains. This was a perfect gem. AVe trust that the minds of many re ceived impressions form the foregoing dis couresee during last night’s meeting which shall not soon -be erased but result in the bringing forth much fruit The leaguers have entered into the cause of Christ with commendable zeal and ac tivity and we doubt not that thev will find cur citizens generally ready cheer fully 'o second their laudable efforts, thus affording them every facility for ensuring the utmost sucees to their enterprise. oastohia. Soars the umll# Kind You Haw Alware Bouetg GOOD RACES IN CARNIVAL WEEK Circuit Has Been Formed and It Is Probable that Meet Will Take Place. ALL ARRANGEMENTS MADE For the Holding of the Meeting in Macon During the Four Days of the Carnival. It Is not at all Improbable that some good racing will be seen in Macon during the Carnival The matter has been talked cf for some time and the promoters of a racing circuit for the South and particu larly for Georgia have been hard at work. They have now about completed all |ieir plana and the following account of a meet ing held yesterday at Wayeroes will tell something about it: The South Georgia Racing Circuit was organized here today, and the purses for the fall races will amount to SIO,OOO. The dates and places are as follows: Macon, October 11th to 15th; Thomas ville, October 25th to 30th; Waycross, No vember Ist to sth; Valdosta, November Bth to 11th. The horses will be easily shipped from place to place In the circuit. The 6tarter at each place will be from the grand cir cuit, and the circuit will be a member of the American Racing Association. The circuit will donate SSOO toward paying the pro rata for each place on the cost of ship ping the horses from the north to Macon at the opening of the season. The entries for Macon and Thomasville must be made by the night of October Ist, and those for ■Waycross and Valdosta by night of Octo ber 11th. The running entries close the night previous to the trotting. The dis tance between the places In the circuit la small. From Macon to Thomasville, about 126 miles; from Thomasville to 'Valdosta, about sixty miles; from Valdosta to Way cross, fifty-eight miles. The purses here will not be less than $3,000. The races at each place will occur while the annual fairs are in progress. The pe riod at each place follows: Macon, four days; Thomasville, three days; Waycross, four days; Valdosta, three days. As Waycross will have the final date, the probability Is that the number of horses that will be brought here will be exceedingly large, as was the case last fall This matter will probably be taken up by the executive committee of the Carnival at its next meeting and while some of the members have been opposed to races on account of the expense involved, they will probably be very willing that the races should take place provided the association Is not called upon for an appropriation for that purpose. It is certain that the races will bring a class aand a number of peo ple here who do not care especially about the other features of the program, but who are valuable to Macon nevertheless. Good horses can be brought here and a good meeting is ensured. STANDING NATIONAL LEAGUE CLUBS Clubs. Played. Won. Lost. Pr. Ct.
