MERCER OPENS
NEXT WEDNESDAV
Enrollment of New Pupils
Will Be Larger Than
Ever Before.
NO MORE FOOTBALL
The Faculty is Against the Game
and Will Not Allow It Frater
nities Are at Work.
On Wednesday. the 21st, M-rcer will
throw open its floors to the young men of
the South. Pupite from all sections are
<-xjx-cte.l to enter this fall and all indica
tions point to the most successful term in
the history of the school.
Prof-.- or Pollock .-ays that the number
of new etude ruts will exceed that of lasi
year and that a majority of the old stu
dents will return. The number of new pu
pils at Mercer last year was very large,
and the total number of students was 300.
This year Professor Pollock expects that
the enrollment will far exceed that of laet.
In speaking of the prospects yesterday he
said:
"We are expecting a large number of
new students this year, and all indications
now show that w< will got them. Many of
the old ptijitis will also return, and, of
cours. , that will greatly add to the num
ber of students. The letters of inquiry
about the college have averaged eighteen
per day all during the summer, and I think
that the school is will known."
He was ask'd if there would be any
changes in the faculty or in the course of
study, and he said that there will be no
changes in 'the faculty 'and the course of
study will remain pratically the same. He
sail that the faculty and the board of
trustees were highly in favor of the inter-*
collegiate debates, and that the two bodies
would encourage them a much as possible.
But In regard to football, Professor Pol
lock said. "The students last year, after
the unfortunate accident, met and decided
that they would discontinue the game at
'Mi re r. Several days later tihe faculty met
and took the same action, which, though
not altogether abolishing the game was
practically tin satm thing. The faculty is
in favor of athletic sports of all kinds un
der certain limitations, and would much
prefer that the students would substitute
some otther game in its place. Public sen
timent is very much against the football
gatne and it is such a dangerous game..
We will encourage all other kinds of ath*
letlc sports."
He was asked if the football players al
ways took a good stand in their classes.
He said:
"1 am not in a position to answer that,
but I am of the opinion that the leaders of
football 'are no up to the standard.”
It now seems a settled fact that Mercer
will not be allowed to play football this
year. This, of course, will be a source of
great disappointment to tthe lovers of the
game, but the game has never been popu
lar at Mercer, and as the faculty is 'against
it. all hope of having a team this year has
been dispelled.
Many of the students will hoard at the
dormitory, but over two-thirds will board
In the city.
The fraternities have already begun
•working spiking new men Several of th
fra tern lit i<.- have held meet ines and are giv
ing the new men the dead "rush." The
"rush” season at the opening of a col
lege where there are Greek letter frater
nlties is the most ineresting part of the
session. Already many new men have been
pledged to join and the fraternities are
still at work.
The board of trustees have also been at
work for Mercer and have secured .many
new students. The term will be, no doubt,
the most successful in the history of the
Institution, and the enrollment of new pu
pils will greatly exieed that of any other
session. With Professor Pollock at the
ihel'm, the college is sure to come out in the
lead. Following is a complete list of tlhe

Affect Southern Stocks.
Specially reported for The News by Tal
bott & Palmer.
New York, Sept. 14—Leading operators
were bullish on the market in spite of
heaviness and advised conservative pur
chases on further declines. The street sen
timent was rather bearish as considerable
stock is undigested. The best information
is that this week will see the end of the
danger of money troubles. There is evi
dence of the money lenders taking advan
tage of the present situation to get as high
rate as possible, we do not fear stringency.
The accumulation of People’s gas by in
siders continue in spite of denials of the
settlement of the Indiana gas matter.
Yellow fever makes the sentiment rela
tively bearish on Southern stocks although
so far there is no serious developments of
epidemic. The Manhattan earnings for the
September quarter barely exceeded the
fixed charges. The absence of the decline of
stock in the face of such facts is consider
ed significant of some new developments.
The break in sugar resulted from opera
tions of powerful interests believed to be
at the head of the bear campaign.

MACON NEWS WEDNESDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 14 189!,
FOR PROHIBITION.
Brooks County Will Probably Have an
Election in the Near Future.
Quitman, Ga., Sept. 14—Brooks county
is thoroughly stirred on the question of
prohibition and a local option election will
be held here in the near future. Rev. J.
W. Lee, of North Carolina, the noted tem
perance evangelist, who figured so con-*,
splcuously in the elections in Randolph
and Sumter, counties in Georgia, and
Hamilton county in*Florida, has been here
for the past ten dafs carrying on a tent
meeting and running a crusade in favor
of prohibition. He came here under the
combined auspices of the Methodist, Bap
tist and Presbyterian churches of the city
and his work has been nothing short of
phenomena!. His audiences have recorded
the high water mark in audiences for any
kind in the county. His tent has a seating
capacity of 5,000 and each meeting for the
past week it has been filled to its utmost.
The audiences which greet him come not
only from the town, but from the country
for a radius of fifteen miles around, and
by his logic and eloquence he holds their
attention for hours at a time.
Mr. Lee is a powerful speaker and his
lectures and sermons on the ravishes of
rum and the curse of the open saloon have
aroused and had a wonderful effect on the
people of the county. The legal require
ment to order an election on the whisky
question in this county is 250 qualified
voters. This number he secured the first
opportunity given and now has on his pe
tition more than 500 names of legal quali
fied voters. Brooks county has always
been considered safely in the wet columns,
but today there is hardly a man who does
not place it in the list of drys, and there
can be no doubt but if the election was
held tomorrow that whisky would be voted
out.
Mr. Lee is a native Irishman and his
eloquence and earnestness impress the
people. He will remain here another week
and then goes to take up the same work in
Thomas county. He will go to Bibb county
in the near future and will be- in Fulton
during the fall. He says he intends drying
the state of Georgia.

fully hurt yesterday afternooon. He had
been repairing a belt and was wiping it
off when his hand was caught and he was
thrown against a pulley.

about the back, but he will be out in a

U. S. EXPORTS
To England Five Times as Much as Our Im
ports from There.
U S EXPORTS ?.
Washington, Sept. 14 —The United States
merchants are gaining hand over hand in
the fight for trade with their British cou
sins. This is infallibly shown by the great
decrease in imports from England and the
tremendous increase in exports to that
country of articles made by us. According
to the bureau of statistics, the imports
from Great Britain during the last year
fell off 35 per cent, while the exports of
manufactured goods to England increased
12. In round numbers the exports to Eng
land were five times as much as the im
ports from that country.
GARRISON FORCES.

• 000 for Puerto Rico.
New York. Sept. 14 —A Washington dis
patch to the Herald says that General
Miles states that 12.000 men now in Puerto
Rico will be sufficient to garrison that
island. Possibly 50,000 will be needed for
Cuba. He said none of the troops sent to
the Philippines would now be ordered
back. He denied stating that he would I
prefer charges against Corbin of suppress
ing or altering dispatches.

has adopted the above uniform.
He has also adoped another plan by
which visitors to the schools can be shown
to the rooms they wish to visit without dif
ficulty. They will be met at the door of
the school by the janitor, just as if they
were at a private residence, and he will
show them to the rooms they wish to visit.
This will save a great deal of trouble, as
the visitors,heretofore would generally in
terrupt several classes before the found
the one they wished to visit.
Professor Abbott's office has been very
crowded all during th# morning and many
people have applied for admission cards
for their children. Professor Abbott is
kept busy all during the day issuing cards
and it will be some time before, this work
is over.

DEWEY’S FLEET
London Jonrnal Has Some Pertinent Re
marks to Make.
With the close of the war comes the
news that the American government in
tends to strengthen the Asiatic or Manila
fleet by two battleships. The Oregon and
Massachusetts will, in all probability, be
the vessels chosen. At the same time it is
likely that the Olympia will be relieved
by the Minneapolis. When these changes
have been carried out the American squad
ron will rank third in far Eastern waters,
the orders being England, Japan, the
United States and Russia. Admiral Dewey
will have under his command two battle
ships, two monitors, five cruisers and a
gunboat, all good fighting ships. The ab
sence of the Oregon and Massachusetts will
not be felt in the Atlantic, as by the close
of the year the Kearsarge and Kentucky
are to be ready for service, and early next
year the Alabama. But the movement of
force to the far East is very sifinificant at
the present juncture. England, Japan and
the United States, if their alliance comes
within the scope of practical politics,
would be able to bring overwhelming
strength to bear against any other combi
nation. —London Graphic.
ONE PROBLEM
In the League Seems to Have Been Defi
nitely Settled.
New York, Sept. 14.—H. R. Vonderhorst,
owner of the Baltimore Baseball club, Is
the first League magnate to openly confirm
the story that a deal is talked of involving
the transfer of tlhe Cleveland team to
Washington Park, Brooklyn, together with
a pooling of issues by Frank De Haas Rob
ison and F. A. Abell. *
“The. story,” said Mr. Vonderhost, “was
correct in every detail. The scheme has
been under consideration for some time
past and only a few days ago Robinson
consulted with me about it. He wanted
to know whether I regarded the proposed
deal as one that would result with jurofit,
and I not only told 'him that it would, 'but
also urged him to make it.
“The Cleveland Club is a loser in the
Forrest City now, and will never be able
to make a success there again. The talk
about locating the team in St. Louis and
other places has had‘some truth in it, but
the proposition to consolidate the Brooklyn
and Cleveland teams, with headquarters at
Washington Park, has got the League by
ithe ears, and the club owners are dis
cussing it from every standpoint. The fact
is recognized that a winning team must
be placed in 'Brooklyn next year or that
club will have to go by the board.
“Ribinson, as I say, has discussed the
matter with me, and has also consulted
other magnates who would like to see the
deal consummated. They are all hoping
that Robinson and Abell can get together,”
THE BALE’S THE THING.
Incident at One of the City Warehouses
Yesterday.
Uncle Lige was in town yesterday greet
ing bis white friends around Heard &
Moore’s warehouse, his black face shining
with obrenje good humor.
“Pretty hard on a nigger, Uncle Lige,
isn’t it—only $25 for a 500 pound bale of
cotton?” said a sympathizer.
“Huccunn? Ain’t hard on me! An’ I'm
still er gettin’ S3O fur mine’’
‘ How’s that?”
“Well,’ I puts 600 pounds in mine an’ go
long! Talk erbout hard times—trouble is
niggers study too much ’bout how much er
pound, an’ don’t put ’nough cotton in dey
bales.”
“Well, but Lige, it takes more cotton,
don’t you see?”
“Don’t make no difference 'bout more
cotton! plenty cotton ev’rywhar, niggers
des too lazy to pick hit. No, sah, dey can’t
run me out de market. De poorer de price
de fatter my 'bale gbinter be, an’ de fatter
de price de poorer de bale. Only way to
stop me is de size o’ <iat door back dar.
When I don’t git S3O for my cotton hits
gointer be ’eause de bale too big ter git
to de scales!’’
As the door referred to is about sixteen
feet wide, Lige has a margin yet.
, Pay third installment of
city tax by September 15 and
save tax execution.
