Maddox Causes Delay in Or

Washington. Sept. 10 —Orders mustering
out the Georgia troops have not yet been
; issued.
After a conference with Governor Atkin

be injustice to the Second regiment. This

completed.
The regiment has been ordered abroad
and the orders countermanded and it has
been moved about from place -to place un
til the soldiers were tired of service.
This representation caused a delay in
Issuing the orders until further considera
tion could be given to the Georgia troops.

Fitzgerald, Ga., Sept. 10— Judge W. B.

TENTH WILL MOVE.
Augusta Will Give Up Her Regiment to Lex
ington.
Augusta, Ga., Sept. 10.—The Tenth regi
ment, now stationed at Camp ©yer, is un
der orders to move. The orders were re
ceived yesterday morning from Washing
ton. It will go to Lexington, Ky., next
Tuesday. The officers are not too much
pleased with the orders. They have just
got nicely fixed at Murray Hill, and some
of Uhe officers have gone to the trouble to
have houses, rough though they be, erected
at the camp site.
There is talk around town that the rea
son of the move Is the street car matter,
the allotting of separate seats for soldiers.
This order has greatly stirred the negroes,
both soldiers and citizens, anl it is believ
ed pressure was brought o bear on the
dep?rLmcnt heads. The Tenth regiment,
on the whole, has been an orderly set of
men. The moving of the soldiers will, as
a matter of course, it seems, cause the
Taylor countmartial to take place else
where. The sensational trial of the sol
dier will not take place In Augusta. The
Tenth regiment came here in June. They
camped at Turpin Hill. It was thought
the placing of a' regiment near Augusta
would be a good thing in a business way
for the city, “but, on the whole, Augustans
are not sorry that the negroes are going,
especially the negro lieutenants appointed
by Alger.
STOP AT THIRD.

Further than this it will not go however,
and with this street the work will stop

unless the streets are cleared it will be im

GLAD TO BREATHE
MICHIGAN AIR.
Secretary Alger Has Arrived
at His Home in Detroit.
Detroit, Sept. 10 —Secretary Alger ar
rived here today. Accompanying him were
Mrs. Alger and his son, Captain Fred Al
ger, who is gradually recovering from the
fever contracted in Cuba; also Colonel
Hecker and Major Hopkins, the secre
tary’s war aides, 'both Detroiters.
The general upon alighting, first kissed
his little grand-daughter then warmly
greeted Governor Pingree.
To a reporter’s question Alger remarked
that all he would say now was that he is
glad to get home and especially to breathe
Michigan air. The secretary was driven
to his residence accompanied by Governor
Pingree.
General Alger, on being asked to make a
statement relative to the charge against
his dministration of the war department,
replied:
“What do you want me to do? get down
ilk a sewer with these sensational people?
They are not worrying me. There is noth
ing to charge except somebody’s desire -to
make political capital.
“The work the department had to do in
a short time has been a very great .tax qn
the commissary and the quartermaster de
parments. It had the distribution of more
than 900 tons of provisions, rations and
forage, probably a part of which has in
volved the transportation more than half
around the world. It is no surprising that
some few slips were made. I have asked
the president to appoint the strongest com
mission it is possible to secure, to conduct
an inquiry into the conduct of the war.
It will be made up of ome of the ablest
army officers.’*

HOW TO GET INFORMATION
Is What He Wants to Know and the
Answer Is Found Onlv in The
News’ Special Edition.
The importance of such a publication as
The News proposes to give to the people
of Macon in the Anniversary and Carnival
edition is made more apparent by the re
ceipt of the following card addressed to
the “leading newspaper of Macon” and
which of course came to The News, The
card says:
Gainesville, Fla., Sept. 8, 1898.
Dear Sir: Please send me a sample pa
per. I received a little information from
the Chamber of Commerce, but have not
yet received all of the information which
I wish. I expect soon to move to Macon
and want all information possible. Is not
there a paper also published occasionally
made up of information to immigrants or
would-be settlers. If you could have one
of these sent me also it would be thank
fully received.
The fact of the matter Is that Macon has
nothing in the way 8f information printed
of such a nature as will attract the atten
tion and serve the questins of intending
settlers. But The News proposes to fill
this want, and in The edition which is now
being prepared it will give to the real es
tate men and the Chamber of Commerce
a dedium that will be invaluable to them.
Such letters as the above are received
in Macon every day and The News will
fill the bill when a reply is wanted.
But this edition will not be complete
nor will it do credit to Macon unless it is
so prepared as to show the full extent of
the business that is done in Macon and to
represent to the fullest the commercial life
of this city. The business men of Macon
are realizing the importance of being rep
resented in this edition and are taking up
the space rapidly, but The News wants
none left out and trusts that those who
may not be approached by the solicitors
will voluntarily come forward with a re
quest for information as to how they are
to get. representation in the columns of
this edition.
Not a single business a-nd not a single
industry in Macon should escape. Every
one should be there and then. .A copy of
the Carnival edition of The News will be
the best answer that can be made to the
inquiring and prospective settler. *

ALL WILL RUN
TO ONE DEPOT
Conferences Have Been Held
Among the Officials of
the Railroads.
•
PLANS ABOUT READY
And Macon Will See the Union De
pot a Very Busy Place Some
where in Near Future,
There iz .not the slightest probability that
a new' depot will be built at Macon, at the
present time or for many years to come.
The fact that the railroads are talking
about making a common depot for the use
of all lines entering Macbn and will soon
do away with the present Southern depot,
has given rise to the idea that a new depot
would be built and the old agitation about
a depot a: C. ■ : of Mulberry street has
been stal led agqln.
The Chamber of Commerce book some
action on. this line, but they received no
tice from the railroads that it was not their
intention to build another depot at this
time.
Macon has a better depot than any other
city in the state. But it .Is a fact that
within the next two months all Che roads
will run into the Union depot on Fourth
street, and this is looked upon as a good
thing for the city.
The Southern depot at the foot of Fifth
street is entirely inadequate to the needs
of the city and in. addition lo this it is lo
cated n a part of the town that reflects no
credit upon 'Macon when the passengers
arrive. This change has been earnestly
hoped for lor a long time and it now seems
possible and probable of realization.
Several conferences have been held on
the subject among the railroad officials and
a decision has about been, arrived at. This
arrangement 'will include the Macon and
Birmingham, and It is to be hoped that the
Macon and Dublin can be induced to com©
into the agreement. At any rate things
have progressed far enough to ensure the
carrying out of the plan in the near future.
With all of Macon’s ten railroads run
ning into it the Union depot will be a busy
place and this fact alone will add an im
petus to Macon’s business. At present
there are four depots in the ciy.
RELIEF ASSOCIATION
CONTINUES WORK.
Regular Meeting Was Heid
Yesterday—Mrs. Tavlor
in Charge.
The Soldiers' Relief Association hold its
regular meeting yesterday afternoon in the
parlors of the Library.
Mrs. Mallory Taylor, the president of
the association, who has been out of the
city for some time was in charge of the
meeting yesterday and the members were
delighted to see her in her old place.
The secretary made a complete report
of the work done during the president’s
absence and reported what was on hand
for the future. The first question to come
up before the meeting was bow to assist
the poor families whom the a sociation had
taken in charge. The matter was dis
cussed for some length of time and it was
decided not to furnish the families with
money but to give them a certain amount
of provisions each week. It was also de
cided that they be supplied with whatever
clothes that might be needed. Mrs. Walter
Hanson w r as authorized to receive all the
contributions and in case any money
was seat she was given the full power to
spend it for whatever she thought was
needed.
The Hebrew Young Woman's Associa
tion offered to assist in aiding he fair/ies
which the ladies had taken in charge. The
offer was accepted and the young ladies
were given a vote of thanks. A list of the
needy families wore given to the young
ladies this morning and they began work
at once. .Miss Bertha Glaser is in charge
of the work.
The Relief Association is in an excellent
condition and are doing a great deal of
good.
POSTMASTER.
Who Will Get It?—Oik Talks is Again Re
vived.
The close of the war and the return of
Lieutenant Walter Corbett with the other
members of the First regiment will natu
rally revive the old talk about who is to
be the next postmaster of Macon.
The chances are, however, that Post
master Hertz will hang on for the full
length of his term and that nt> appoint
ment will be made for some time to come.
Leading Republicans say, however, that
the president will make an appointment
before the full terra of four years from the
appointment of Mr. Hertz has run out and
the regulars are very confident that Cor
bett will be the man while the friends of
Mr. Harry Edwards say that it has already
been promised to him and that Corbett
does not stand as much showing as a

CHARGE WITH
FIXED BAYONETS.
First Georgia Bovs Were Out
for Vengeance Last
Night.
Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 10 —A report cir
culated in the First Georgia camp Thurs
day night to the effect that a negro had
murdered a Georgia soldier in a question
able quarter of the city, created a pro
found sensation. About one hundred men
charged bayonets through the picket lines
and made their way to the city, intent
upon lynching the supposed murderer*
It developed upon investigation that the
report was a fake, and the men returned
to the camp chagrined. They were, how
ever, determined to avenge any wrong to
their fellow soldier, in the event such had
proven true. It is expected that a whole
sale court m a-rtial will be the sequel of this
escapade, as many of the men are known.
Colored shirts, too, must
go after the fire. Goods not
actually damaged, *‘y a
