NEGROES IN MAJORITY.
They Exceed the Whites in Glynn by Three
Hundred People.
Brunswick, Sept. 14.—The present is the
biggest registration every known in Glynn
county Over 1,900 names have s-o far been
registered. Os these the negroes are about
SOO in the majority. This gives the negroes
control of .the political situation. The
whites. however, anticipate no trouble
from that source, and think that they can
keep the negroes split up so that they can
not unite on any sot of candidates. The
heavy registration is due to a hot local
light for county offices, but it begins to
look very .much like the registration busi
ness has been overdone, and the whites
have put so many du the books .that they
are going to have trouble with the negroes
in future' elections.
The brother and brother-in-law of En
gineer Heslep, former engineer ’of the
Southern Railroad. spent several days here
securing attorneys and witnesses to use in
the prosecution of Section Foreman Burns,
who is charged with killing Heslep. It
seems that Burns has failed* to secure at
torneys for his defense, owing to the fact
that he is penniless. His wife, who is the
alleged cause of the trouble, has gone to
her parents in Washington county. It is
hardly probable that any part of her testi
mony will be placed before the jury, and
as she is the only living witness to the
tragedy, and whatever she knows will be
hard to get at. Mrs. Burns has made sev
eral statements in which she exonerates
herself and Heslep from all blame, and it
Is on this line that the prosecution will
work.

fers His Services,
San Francisco, Sept. 14 —When Walter
Rosser, the Tennessee volunteer who mur
dered Henry Hildelfrand, clerk of the
Spreekles market during a drunken spree
was booked at the city prison he began to
sober up.
He handed in a lady’s gold watch and
$65 in coin and asked that the valuables
be cared for. then he wept and said he
realized the deep disgrace, but claimed
that he did not recollect anything about
the shooting.
“My father and mother live in Steven
son, Ala.,” he said. “My father is super
intendent of the Nashville, Chattanooga
and St. Louis. I am a member of the sigma
nu fraternity and a graduate of Vanderbilt
University, and entitled to the degree of
M. D.
“When tbe war broke out I was a stu
d< nt in classics, but left school and en
listed in the Tennessee regiment at Mem
phis. My knowledge of medicine gained me
the position of steward of company B,
which position I still hold.
“I expect my father will come to this
city at once.”
Judge J. H. Guerry, of Georgia, who has
lately come to this state, called upon the
prisoner and tendered his services. Eye
witnesses to the affair state that Rosser
fired the fatal shot without provocation.
He fought against the arrest and almost
succeeded in escaping in the excitement,
having slipped one hand through the steel
handcuff.
While waiting for the patrol wagon he
is said to have pushed the dead body of his
victim with the toe of his shoe.
Colonel Smith, of the Tennessee regi
ment, deeply regrets the odium which the
crime casts upon his command. He will
compel all the men to surrender their
weapons and may restrict their liberty in
the future.

The editorials insist that this is the only

EDWARDS ON
SOUTHERN LIFE
The Famous Author Will Have
a Delightful Sketch in *
News Carnival Edition.
SOIK Os IHi OBlffflLS
From the Story “Sons and Fathers’’
Will Be Given as Types in the
Illustrations.
One of the principal features of the An
niversary and Carnival Edition of The
News, which will apear early next month,
will be a sketch entitled “Southern Life,”
by Mr. Harry Stillwell Edwards.
Those who have read Mr. Edward’s beau
tiful stories of Southern life know that in
this sketch they have something to look
forward ito. It will be among the best of
his short pieces and will be a valuable ad
dition to the literature of the South. In
this way an added value will be found in
the Carnival Edition, which will be the
handsomest and moU perfect publication
of the kind that has ever been issued by
a '-ctith'-rn newspaper.
Mr. Edwards’ sketch will be illustrated
by views in half tone of Southern homes.
The negro cabin will take the first place
■and will be typical, the selection of the
place to be photographed being made by
Mr. Edwards.
The Coleman house on the hill will be
anothei home typical too in its style and
manner.
The piiotograph of a typical Southern
gentleman will be another illustration, and
these features will be filled out by illustra
tions of two of the charoaters from the
SIO,OOO story written by Mr. Edwards and
published in the Chicago Record, and many
other newspaers at the time it first came
out in addition to its present book form.
These two characters will be photographs
of Montjoy from the original and of the
Dutchess. Both of these will be typical
toe of Southern life, and as they will be
from tbe original they will add to the in
terest of the sketch, though anything from
Mr. Edwards’ gifted pen will be eagerly
sought for by the public. In this feature
The News is offering something that is
entirely unique and most attractive io a’l
readers in the South as well as adding ti
the value of the book as representing not
only Macon but the South.
The Carnival Edition will be as nearly
typographically perfect as it is possible to
make it. The illustrating is profuse and
never before has Macon been pictured so
(thoroughly or« nearly so thoroughly as iu
this book—for it must be understood that
it is not a newspaper, though published by
a newspaper, but a book and a book that
will be ia credit to any library in Macon,
and will be kept and valued for all time.
The book will contain an exhaustive re
view of the Women’s Clubs of Macon by
one of Macon’s leading club women. Social
■life in Macon will be most thoroughly de
scribed and illustrated and the Homes of
Macon will be written by Miss Mary Lamar
Patterson, .whose delightful writings on
kindred subjects have given pleasure to
many of the readers of the stat,e.
In addition to these very excellent and
attractive features many others will be
added and the people of Macon may rest
assured that they have in store for them a
rare treat in this book and a store of val
uable reading for all classes.

ENDEAVORERS.
Preparations for the Big Con
vention in Mdcon Next
Month.
The Georgia delegates to the National
Christian Endeavor convention held in
Nashville in July met and organized and
decided to hold a state convention in the
fall. October 28th-30th are the dates se
lected and Macon is the convention city.
Christian Endeavor societies all over the
state should have at least one representa
! tive .and more if possible. Delegates for
other young people’s societies will be cared,
for by the Macon churches if they decide
to come. Special rates on the railroads
will be granted it is expected. Enertain
ment in Macon will be furnished by the
I people in the various churches. Rev. T. E.
Clark, D. D., founder of the movement, it
is expected, will be present. Savannah
people will remember Dr. Clark’s visit to
that city last winter and his address at the
First Presbyterian church. He was the
guest of the Savannah Endeavorers. Rev.
J. Wilbur Chapman, D. D., pastor of the
church commonly known as “Wanamak&r’s
church,” in Philadelphia, but its real
name is Bethany Presbyterian church, may
also be present.
Dr. Chapman conducted the quiet hour
services every morning at Nashville dur
ing the convention and became very popu
lar among the young people. It is hoped
he will be present.
Dr. Williams, of Atlanta, and many
prominent Georgia clergymen will be pres
ent
The Macon churches are providing a
royal welcome. The state work will be re
organized at this convention and the pur
pose is to extend Christian Endeavor werk

several years. It is hoped that endeavor
work in Georgia will receive a great im
petus f?om its work. At one time there
were several Endeavor societies in Macon,
bat they have been to a considerable ex
tent supplanted by the denominational so
cieties in most of the churches. The Chris
tian Endeavor Society, as is well known,
is an inter-denominational, or non-denom
inatioal, affair.

PROMOTIONS””
AT SANTIAGO.
Some Atlanta Men Are Given
Good Positions by Col
onel Rav.
Santiago de Cuba, via Hayti, Sept. 13—
■Colonel Ray, commander of the Third
United States regiment of immunes, now
garrisoned at this place, announced a num
ber of promotions today. The new officers
made are all Atlantians, and a?e well
known there. The announcement of their
promotion will be god news to the many
friends of the officers in Atlanta.
Captain Ed Wilson was made a major of
the Third battalion.
Lieutenant Bruce 'Mcßride was made a
captain.
Sergeants Brooks. Clarke and Josh John
son were made lieutenants.
The promotions were made to fill vacan
cies that have been caused by other offi
cers leaving the regiment and the best
officers below them have been chosen to
fill these vacancies.
Major Ed Wilson, w’hen the announce
ment was made that Colonel Ray would
command a regiment of immunes, began
at once to organize a battalion to go into
the regiment and he was authorized by the
war department to raise and command
this battalion. He found later that he could
not obtain the number of men required for
a battalion and only organized a company
to join the regiment. His company was the
ranking company and the other officers
promoted with him today were in his com
pany. Captain Mcßride will now .com
mand company A. of the regiment, and
Messrs. Johnson and Clarke will act as the,
lieutenants.
The men comprising the company are
nearly all Atlantians, and among them
are some of the prominent young men of
that city. It should be gratifying to the
friends of the privates of this company to
know that they are under good officers,
who will look carefully after their wel
fare.
Colonel Ray’s regiment being almost en
tirely in charge of this city, makes the re
sponsibility placed upon the officers of his
command very great. Major Wilson is
fully capable of filling the duties of his
new position. He was prominent in busi-*
ness circles in Atlanta before he enlisted
in the army, and is considered a man of
considerable executive ability.
Captain Mcßride is the nephew of* Col
onel A. J. Mcßride, of Atlanta, and was a
promising young business man before join
ing the regiment. One of the best known
of the new officers is Lieutenant Johnson,
who was one of the first to enlist In the
regiment. He was made a sergeant when
»e joined and has been promoted rapidly
since it came here.
■Mr. brooks Clarke, who will be commis
sioned by virtue of Colonel Ray’s order of
today, is a well known society man of At
lanta. He is a graduate of Cornell Univer
sity, and while in that institution played
football on the university team. He is a
stalwart young man and his promotion is
considered well deserved. He was first
sergeant when he enlisted.
Colonel Ray’s recommendations will be
forwarded at once to Washington and there
be confirmed by the war department and
the president.
