TODD & CO i 519 —-CHERRY ST 518 RACING MEET . WILLjJE GIVEN During Carnival Arrange ments Were Made at Meeting Yesterdav. GOOD MEN Al THE HEAD, All the Purses Will Be Paid—The Proposition Meets With Unani mous Approval. Macon is to be a member of the new racing circuit that is to commence a serie* of spring meetings at this point during the Carnival week This much was decided at a meeting of the executive committee of the Carnival Association hold yesterday afternoon. The matter has been talked of for some time but nothing definite has been done and the unfortunate history of Macon races within the last few years rather threw a damper on the proposition to add this fea ture to the other attractions of the Car nival. At the meeting of the committee yester day afternoon. Mr Mowers, who is one of the parties Interested in the movement, came before them and laid out the plan for the circuit asking the permission for the association to use the track during the three days of the Carnival. After some discussion tho committee agreed to the proposition and Mr. Mowers and his asso ciates will at once commence the work of making ready for the races. Mr. Mowers, who Is a thoroughly re sponsible horseman, will under the /rms of his agreement with the association de posit tho cash sufficient to pay the pursea of all the races with the association in a Macon bank before the meeting opens. This will add to the confidence of th* horsemen all over the country and will in sure them against a repetition of what has occurred on this track in the past. The projectors of the racing circuit say that they expect to have good strings of horses here and they will offer a special purse large enough to ensure the attend ance of some of the crack-a-jacks from the larger stables outside of the stale. Macon will open the circuit after which the following week they will go to Thom asville. from there to Valdosta and then to Waycross and Augusta. It is not at all Improbable that another meeting will bo held in Macon when the other places have been attended to. It is the Intention of these people, all of whom are well known among the horse men in the state to make this racing cir cuit a permanent thing. At any rate it will prove one of the strongest feature* of the Carnival FUNERAL OF MR. SIMS Was Held this Morning from Christ's Church at Ten O'clock. The funeral services of Mr C. C. Sims, Jr., were held from Christ church th s morning at 10 o'clock. The funeral was one of the largest ever seen in Macon and tho church was crowded to its utmost ca pacity.

Davis, BupL HIGHER PRICES FOR IRE STAPLE Effort of Organizaion Known as the Cotton Growers' Union, PLANS ARE BEING LAID To Bring About More Concert of Action in the Future So as to Induce Better Prices. The Farmers’ Alliance and Cotton Grow ers’ Union are agitating a scheme to secure concerted action among planters, with a view of holding up the price of cotton, or at least of preventing a decline, which many of those promoting the movement declare will otherwise be practically cer tain. A statement has recently been issued by L. W. Youmans, vice president of the Cot ton Growers’ Union, which states, in part that “from the best informed and most re liable sources of information the commit tee unanimously arrived at the conclusion that the present crop would fully equal, if not exceed, the last, and if rapidly thrown upon the market would, in all probability, fall far below 5 cents. In view of the fact that the cotton growers have the present crop of from ten to five million bales now in hand, while manufacturers and speculators have only about 3,000,000 bales, and that if the cotton growers would withhold the present crop from the market till December 1, the world would be bare of cotton and at the mercy of the cotton growers for their supply, it was deter mined to effect a thorough and complete organization of the cotton growers, begin ning with the smallest geographical sub division, with a view of holding the pres ent crop and following up this line of ac tion, through the medium of township clubs, by enrolling all landholders In a contract to reduce next year’s acreage one half. “It is manifestly clear that such a line of proceeding would place the cotton growers in command of the situation, and change the outlook from one of bankrupt cy and ruin to one of profit and competen cy. It further seems that an effort in this line would meet with the aid and approval of almost every business interest in the South. “Well knowing that the principal obsta cle to the accomplishment of this under taking would consist In the maturing obli gations of the cotton growers, incurred in the production of the crop, a special com mittee has been arranged for, consisting of one member from each state, to confer with capitalists and provide for the neces sary funds to take up these liens and carry the cotton until such time as it can be disposed of at fair profit. “At this date last year cotton was quo ted in New York at 8% cents. Before the first of November, without any suspicion that the crop would approximate anything like such extensive figures as 11,000,000 bales, cotton had declined over 2 cents a pound. Cotton is now quoted in New York at 5% cents, with an estimated surplus on hand of 1,500,000 bales greater than at this time last year, to be supplemented by a crop of equal if not greater magnitude than the crop of last year. “Should this enormous volume of cotton be hurriedly thrown on the market, al ready glutted with with an over-supply, it would be hard to predict how low prices would be in force. It would seem not at all improbable for it to touch 4 cents. If the plan of the Cotton Growers’ Union could be put in operation it would insure 6 cents net for every pound of cotton regulated by it. The difference between 4 cents and 6 cents per pound in 10,000,000 bales would be $'100,000,000 —a stake of sufficient amount it seems to me, to interest the entire South With almost every Southern interest more or less interwoven with the interests of the cotton growers, it does seem to me that they might combine with the cotton grow ers in this effort to consummate a policy that promises such great benefit to our section.” The plan of the Cotton Growers’ Union does not appear to be regarded as feasible among the local cotton men, nor does it seem to create much favorable comment on the exchanges throughout the country. The scheme has so often been agitated in past years with no tangible results that Its renewal at this time has received but lit tle attention. The plan may be considered a good one and if carried out might be rewarded by higher prices, but the main reason why it appears Impossible to make it effective is that the planters generally are in debt to their factors and others who have ad vanced money to raise the crop. Their in terest is only contained in the profits after his debts are paid. They must stand It and accept the price, no matter what it be. Besides, as soon as the crop Is har vested it becomes an expense to the holder and it has been found advantageous to market it as soon as possible. Even the independent planters, who could afford to hold their cotton, are not likely to do so. as the insurance, storage, loss in weight and other expenses are usually so great, that the owners do not care to take the risk of an advance.

BRYAN’S MEN.’ Tpenty Members of His Regiment Were in Macon this Morning. Twenty-one men of Bryan’s Third Ne braska regiment passed through Macon this morning en route >to their homes on furlough. The men have all been sick and the colonel secured them a furlough for two weeks. The men arrived in the city this morning at 8 o'clock and all of them took breakfast at the Hotel Lanier. The men looked very badly and showed the effects of their illness. None of them seemed anxious to be mus tered ouj of the service, and all of them spoke in the most enthusiastic terms of the colonel. One of the privates said: “He ds a father to us all. He has men under him who belong to all parties and he treats them all -ahke. He never uses harsh language, as we have seen some of the colonels do and is kind, but he has the best discipline ia his regiment. We all love him and would follow him anywhere he might lead. M e are going to our homes to spend sev eral weeks and will be glad when the time comes to return. I do not think there is a man in the regiment who wants to be must red out.” The men will reach thedr homes tomor row night and will probably return through here in about two weeks CA.STOHIA..

The streets of the city were badly dam aged by the cloudburst which struck the city yesterday about 11 o’clock. The streets which were paved ■with the rock cement were the ones which were mostly damaged. Cotton avenue and Orange streets are badly washed up and it is al most Impossible for wagons to pass over them. The sewer in front of the court house on Mulberry street bursted and the street was flooded. A large hole was washed in the park and one of the trees was completely uprooted. Beeland’s jewelry store was flooded and his stock was badly damaged. Water was' in his store over an inch deep. It was caused by the rain which beat through th» roof. But on Poplar street was where the worst damage was done. All the cellars of the merchants on that street were flood ed and in the cellar of the Thomas Furni ture Company water was ten feet deep. It came up from the cellar in the floor. The floor was covered with mud after the water had subsided. The cellar was filled with chairs and baby carriages and it was an amusing sight to see them floating about in the cellar. All the cellars on Poplar street were flooded and it was nec essary to use the fire engines to pump the water out. It will cost the city a large sum of money to repair the damage done on the streets as many of the sewers are badly damaged. LIVING FLAG. Preparations by the Committee Are in Very Best Stage. The committee on the living flag, Colo nel R. A. Nisbet, Professor Abbott and Mr. W. T. Morgan, met yesterday afternoon for the purpose of arranging the details of this feature of the program, which is one of the principal attractions of the carni val. Few people have any idea of the amount of work that the preparations for this feature will entail, but the gentlemen who have the matter in charge wil make it a suc cess if anyone can do so. One of the first things to be done Is to select the forty-five young ladies who will be the stars in the flag, and who will car ry the flags of the different states that are to be sent by he governors of those states. Os course this is a difficult task and the 'committee will have anything but easy go ing to make the selections. They wish it to be distinctly understood that the dresses of the children for the living flag will not necessarily be expensive and it is the de sire of the committee that none of the Children will spend much money on their costume,s concerning which instructions will be given later. MR. CHERRY IS BETTER. Rested Easy Last Night and Was Able to Sit Up Today. Mr. E. D.

It will be good news to his many friends to know that be is better. He will be able to be out in a few days. DAVIS-CHESTNEY.
