FIGHTING FEELS
- LIKE FOOTBALL.
Yonng DeLoach Who Was in
Fight at Santiago Gives
His Experiences.
K Delxtach, the young Atlanta
boy who left school and enlisted with the
•Second Massachusetts regiment, passed
through the eiy last night on his way back
to school -al Andover, Mass., the place he
left to enter the army.
He wa~ in ail the fighting around San
tiago and has many thrilling experiences to
till His parents secured his discharge
trom I: - army without his knowledge and
he says he was both surprised and disap
pointed when the captain of his company
told him that be was no longer in the
service of the United States.
He is now suffering with sickness con
tracted whde n Cuba, but it does not seem
o rouU. him very much Speaking of
its experiences to t News reporter, he
said:
ctil-stfd ’ Massachusetts in the Sec
ond Massachusetts, and we were not in
vamp 1-Mig before we were sent at once to
the tront I enjoyed .the camp life very
much. but I liked the fighting better. The
first battle I went into 1 felt just like I
CM w»ion I v ; into a football game and
anybody who has ever played football can
tell exactly how I felt.
Our rvc.ment was sent right into the
Ime of fighting. I could hear the bullets
sir.c' • < fc.-e we could see the enemy, but
we » t jvg mind that so much, but most
of the men wanted to return the fire before
we were- tn range. When we got in range
our I:. u’euant colonel gave the order to
■eminence firing, a sour colonel staid two
miles ia the rear throughout all the fight
'. ’.g and •.-■it mangroves When we opened
fire w -ave away our position as we were
using black poAvder and it made lots of
smedv. We were ordered to the rear sev
eral times, but we would be sent back
again. Finally we were deployed as aJarm
isaers, and then was when we did our
fighting. I remember at one time of being
behind a small tree with a friend of mine
when ii.. explosive bullet struck rhe tr.et , >
the bark m my face, and it was
not : wo seconds before the next man to me
was shot in the neck by a mauser bullet
and was killed. To see men falling on all
isides and to hear their cries, did not make
a fellow feel pleasant and I thought that
every minute would be my last, but I went
through without a scratch.”
“•Do you remember killing any Span
iards?'’
’’Yes, I remember getting two. Several
of our company were doing sentinel duty
one day and about six Spaiardß were in a
block bouse pot tar away and wer® firing
on ua every minute, but we were not al
lowed to return the fire, an officer fi
nally came along and told us to run them
out and we opened up. We made it so hot
for tb< m that They ran out and as they did
so I took deliberate aim at one and he
dropped. I and another soldier shot at an
other at the same time and be also drop
pea. These are the only two that I couid
«iay that I killed.
“When we went into the first fight we
had nothing to eat for two days except
hard tack, and many of the men dropped
from exhaustion. The country there Is
very rough and it greatly handicapped the
men in fighting. The privates were all
surprised at the conduct of the generals,
whom they thought would load them to
battle. I did not see a single general on
the fighting line during the wbole two days
time and the efflcers of the eompaniese bad
ito do what they thought was right, as they
had no orders. The wounded men had -all
the possible attention and none were al
lowed to suffer.
“Sixteen men from my company were
killed and twenty-three wounded, and that
will show that our company was in the
thick of the fight. I went into Che city o'
Santiago and spent several days after the
fight was over. The Spaniards treated me
royally and seemed to be a very hospitable
people. I acted as interpreter for our cap
tain on several occasions. The Spaniards
were the sickest looking men I ever saw,
and all of them seemed afraid to go back
to Spain. One of them told me that they
would be set down as cowards for the re
mainder of their lives if they were return
ed and that they had rather remain in
Cuba than to go home. All of the Span
iards had an idea that we would kill them
1f we captured them, ’and I am sure that a
number of them committed suicide when
they saw that they would be obliged to
surrender.
“All this talk That you have heard about
the Spaniard® not fighting is not true.
Those fellows so ight like demons and every
inch of ground we gained we had to work
for it. The reporter on the Atlanta Jour
nal who came out to see me after my re
turn. quoted me as saying that we were in
trenches for a great portion of the day.
That is no true. We did not have any
trenches until we captured those occupied
by the Spaniards.
“I was never more surprised in my life
than I was one day when our captain came
up to me and told me that he was sorry to
inform me that I was no longer in the
service of the United tSates and that my
parents had secured my discharge. I was
very much disappointed, but I had to
leave. The government did not give me
transportation home and I had to pay it
would have liked to stay longer.
Deboach had'a high fever last night and
said that he was feeling badly, He thought
that he would be all right when he reached
Savannah. He was probably the youngest
soldier im the army, being only seventeen
years old when he enlisted.

Artificial Foods Are the Cause of Many Lit
tle Graves.
There is nothing that concerns a mother
more than the health of her baby. If its
food does not agree with it, or lacks rhe
necessary nourishment, it is but a question
of time when it will die. Many mothers
resort to artificial foods, such as malted
milks and other prepared substitutes,
when, m fact, there is no reason in the
world why they themselves should not
nurse their children.
A persistent use of Acme Malt Tonic
will enable the most delicate mothers to
afford a bountiful supply of nourishing
milk. It is pleasant to the stimulatr
ing and strengthening both to the mother
and child.

BURR BROWN
Will Move Back to His Old Stand on Second
Street.
Burr Brown will move back to his old
stand.
This announcement does not carry a.
great deal with it to the rising generation
of Maconites, or to the new comers, but
to the old residenters it means a great
deal.
It is years since Burr Brown’s was head
quarters for everything in Macon. His
store oa Seccad street was the resort of
MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 0
tfce town and there you waited if you wnat
ed to see anybody, while on any corner
you might have waited for a week.
Then Burr Brown was the presiding ge
nius. He was manager of the opera house,
he wss the dray line and hack line man,
he sold railway tickets and he dabbled in
a. little of everything. He was one of the
ntos-t popular men in Georgia, and his fund
of wit and good humor always kept his
<rfowd in a god humor.
When Burr left the old stand his inter
ests began to wane, and by an by he lost
It altogether. He was hot to be found al
ways around his store as of yore, but de
voted himself to chickens. Now he has re
formed and has determined to move back
again to the place from whence he came.
He has eaten his chickens, renewed his
youth and wilt be found at the same old
stand with new jokes, new songs and the
same ability to draw a set of good fellows
around him as in the good old days.
There are thousands of people all over
the South who know and remember Burr
Brown. They have never been able to find
him at his present stand, but when he goes
back to the old place it will be wonderful
to see how they will flock to him.

RATES ON COTTON.
Circular Giving the Rates on Cotton Ship
ments.
The Georgia Export and Import Com
pany has issued a circular regarding cot
ton shipments by its steamers, a coify of
which will be found below. It will be seen
that hereafater rates named on cotton will
be for standard bales and that when bales
of cotton are not up to that standard they
will be inspected and measured and the
proportional difference in the rate charged,
or, 'at the option of the shiper, the bale
will be reeompressed at his expense.
The standard bale was adopted as the
basis of rates at Galveston and New Or
leans last season and found of great ad
v-antoge in making shipments. Its general
adoption will ultimately tend to ‘lower the
freight rates, as it will enable ships to
handle 'and store cotton better and thereby
carry larger cargoes. The circular is as
follows:
Georgia Export and Import Company,
Savannah, Ga., Sept. ’ 7, 1898.—Rates on
cotton named for steamers of this com
pany wil'l be for standard bales.
1. That, is the bale is to be properly 'aind
sufficiently banded and compressed and
delivered to the steamer with a density of
not less than 22% pounds to the cubic foot.
2. When bales are not up to ‘this stan
dard, they will be inspected and measured,
when practicable, in presence of the ship
per or his representative, and the propor
tional difference in rate applied or colected
■from the shipper, or at option of he ship
per reeompressed at his expense.
G. ; M. Sorrel, 'Manager.
The cotton box of 24x54 inches is
especially recommended as giving the best
dimensions for 'Standard density and for
i economical handling; and it is also urged
that bales be banded with eight hoops as
a better surety of the required density.
The company invites correspondence with
'■ shippers of large round lots of bales from
boxes of these dimensions.
A SEPTEMBER VACATION.
An Ideal Place for a Rest and Restoration
to Health.
Georgia has many popular summer and
health resorts, but none more deservedly
popular both for health and pleasure th'an
the magnificent Wigwam Hotel, at Indian
Spring.
The marvelous waters of the old spring
continue, as they have for the -past hun
dred years, to bring health and 'Strength to
the hundreds who drink it, and in addition
to this, here are found everything that goes
to make up a perfect 'summer home. The
splendid orchestra under the direction of
Mr. S. Koenigsherg, the celebrated violin
ist from Denver, gives three concerts each
'day, and these, with card parties, walks,
drives, bowling, tennis, and numerous oth
er amusements, make the short September
days go by ‘all too quickly.
Not a little of the popularity of the ho
tel is due to the splendid management
of the office, in charge of Chief Clerk C.
J. Foster, for so long chief clerk of the
Hotel Marion, in Atlanta, and so well
known to the traveling men of the South,
many of whom visit the Wigwam , on their
trips through that section.
Among the prominent people who are
quartered at the Wigwam may be mention
ed Hon. S. iD. Rumph, the peach king, and
his wife and daughter, of Marshallville.
Quite a number of prominent people also
from Atlanta, Macon, Monticello, Brooklyn,
N. Y., and many other places, make up a
' delightful party of guests Whose every want
is admirably attended to by Manager
Hooper and his well trained force of assis
tants.
TRAGEDY IN FORT VALLEY.
Steve Frederick Kills Doc Postel—Both Ne
. groes.
Parties who arrived in Macon today
from Fort Valley tell of a murder that
occurred there last night. A negro named
Steve Frederick shot and Instantly killed
another negro, Doc Postel. ‘Frederick
went to Postel’s house and feigned he was
drunk. He commenced (to flourish a pistol
and tired two shots into the ceiling of a
room. He next went out of doors and fired
twice at Postel, who was in his house, .but
both shots missed. (Frederick returned to
the house and while standing a few feet
from Postel fired at him, the ball entering
'Postel’s head, and he fell to the ground
dead. Frederick escaped.
It is said Postel was the pricipal witness
•against a party of negroes charged with
gambling, who are to be tried at the pres
ent term of court, and it is thought Fred
erick was hired to kill 'Postel so he could
not testify against the alleged gamblers.

the handsomest afternoon newspaper building in
the state.
