The work on the floats at the park is
progressing rapidly and they will be all
finished in a few days. Server il prominent
citizens have been downncently to inspect
the pinite ami they say th it they are as
fine as they have sect anywhere.
Mr. George Turpin was driven down to
the park yesterday afternoon by President

said they were a- fine as any he had ever
seen at any of the Mardi Gras in New On
lean*, and that he had been going to New
Orhans every year for ten years. The
floats for the war and peace spectacle will
In- the prettiest ever seen in the South.

work canvassing for floats and are meet
ing with siiccise on every side Yester
day the following firms were added to the
already large list Empire Coal and lee
Company, \eme Brewing Company, Heard
a 'Moore; Weeks Manufacturin’; Company,

tee is well pleased with the work done. He

Tiie meeting of the executive committee
which was to have been held yesterday af
ternoon was postponed until this afternoon
at 4 o'clock.
The bands which will make the music
heie during the carnival will probably be
selected at the meeting this afternoon. It
is probtvble that three bands will be se
lected for the occasion. Other matters of
Importance will come up a'lno.
'Groat |r, pa rat ions are being made for
♦he Carnival Bill, which is to tie hell on
>he closing night of the Carnival. H is now
very probable that the University of Geor
gia ixiib.ill team will play the Tech or Au
burn teams here one day during the car
nival and this of course will draw a large
crowd of people.
EASILY MOVED.
Not So Trouble in Getting Troops
About Now.
The railroads arc enabled to handle the
regime! is that .ire now going from the
several camps to their respective home
states to be mustered out of the service
with much gri a or facility than they could
if certain orders regarding the disposition
of a great deal of camp equipage had not
been issued by the war department.
The regiments that get on the move will
now have nearly everything in the way of
impediments behind. Consequently, not
nearly so much rolling stock will be re
quired as has been the case where the
commands have changed camping places.
Tin u tents, wagons, mules and everything
•were taken along, bul now the equipment
Is being hf; for those regiments that will
lake th< places of those to be mustered
out. This is true of the troops at Jack
sonville that are to leave the service. They
will m t take their equipment away. As
an example of bow the thing is worked,
one of the South Carolina regiments soon
leaves Jacksonville to go to Columbia. All
the tents will be left standing for another
South Carolina regiment that is to be re
tained.
“Each regiment we will have to move,"
said a railroad man yesterday, “will re
quire several box ears, about forty-five
tourist ears and three sleepers.”

SOLDIERS MAY
WINTER HERE.
Inspection of Southern Camps
Offered for That Purpose
Has Commenced.
CMIP PBICE THE BEST PLACE
To Be Selected Is Opinion of Many
People- Department Intends to
Send Soldiers Here.
It is not at all improbable that troops
will ba encamped at Camp Price during the
winter. The indications are that a large
number of volunteer troops, that will be
retained in the ■service will be sent to the
South for the winter months, and this be
ing so, no better post outside of Florida
could be selected.
The Constitution this morning says .that
already the search for camps throughout
the South has been commenced and within
a month the entire army may be scatter
ed in the different states? Captain Dodds,
judge advocate of the department of the
gulf, was in the city yesterday, having
been called from a leave of absence to join
a party of officers seeking suitable loca
tions in the South for the soldiers to camp.
Captain Dodd left for Huntsville, Ala.,
yesterday afternoon where he will join the
party and the investigation for good loca
tions will begin. It is not known whether
or not any camps will be placed near At
lanta. Considerable pressure has been
brought to bear on the war department td
have the troops stationed here, or at least
a part of them.
The camp at Montauk Point, which is
now the largest in the country, has bean
so severely roasted by all the army offi
cers and men, 'as well as the visitors who
have been there, that the administration
has come to the conclusion to move it,
and General Miles has already ordered an
evacuation. The expense of establishing
and transporting the soldiers is very great
•and a well established camp for the army
is earnestly desired by the 'administration.
Already two batteries of heavy artillery
have been ordered South. These are bat
teries A and B of the regular army. They
will leave the point at once and encamp at
Port Royal, S. C. It is expected that more
troops will come South soon and may camp
at the same place, as it is considered a
good location.
HERE’S A.WAY
OUT OF IT.
Suggestion for the Relief of
the Negroes Oppressed
bv the Usurers.
The following from the Birmingham
Ledger offers a suggestion for some of the
unfortunate negroes who have been op
pressed by the money lenders:
“The money lenders in Birmingham are
way up in the .air jus't at present and the
bankruptcy law is the sole cause for this
aerial engagement.
“There are thousands of dollars loaned
every month by these men to negroes and
the poorer class of laborers at heavy
monthly interest on practically no collat
eral. In these cases waive no'tes are taken.
"As soon as the bankruptcy law went
into effect a number of lawyers went to
work and gathered in a lot of these cases
for small fees. Where a man owed SSO he
would probably pay he lawyer $5 or $lO,
plead the bankruptcy act and lead the
game by about $lO. The same thing ap
plies in many instances to furniture bought
on a credit. There are hundreds of negroes
•who are taking this law and freeing them
selves of all former obligations, and this is
what is worrying the 'money lenders.
The money lenders acknowledge that this
act of the negroes is losing 'considerable
money for them, but they say they are go
ing to try to figure some way to beat these
debt cancellers out in the long run.
“In this connection one prominent
money lender said this morning, when
questioned by a Ledger reporter:
“This thing is giving us trouble, we ad
mit, and if it sticks there are some of .us
it will break world without end. We, for
our part, have out a large amount of money
without collateral and the only way we
can manage to collect it is from salaries
and wages. In this ease if we cannot beat
the law, we lose. But,” he continued, “we
are going to contest the cases on the
ground that these people never had any
thing when we loaned them the money.
They never had anything to lose, were
broke then, and we claim they have no
fjght to take a law for benefit of some
thing they never had.”
“Information from the same source re
vealed the fact that while these men are
going to contest certain oases, thev are
not letting out money any more without a
certain amount of collateral.”
NO COMMISSIONS.
To Ticket Agects Should be Paid, Says
Richardson,
Mr. Joseph Richardson, chairman of the
Southeastern Passenger Association, has
called a mass meeting of the passenger
traffic managers of the central, western,
southwestern and southeastern lines to be
hefid in St. Louis September 27th.
The chief subject to be taken up will be
the payment of commissions to ticket
agents. Some of the lines' are in favor of
abolishing commissions entirely, while the
others favor the payment of a small com
mission. It is determined in any case to
reach an agreement for the wiping out of
excessive commissions all over the country.
The meeting will be largely attended,
and the old vexed question will be thor
oughly discussed.

THE WAR BALLOON
How a .Well Directed Shell
Ruined the Air Ship,
St- Louis, Sept. 15. —Sergeant Bonanzin
ga. a member of the balloon staff of the
Fifth Army Corps, left this city this morn
ing for Tampa, where he will sail to Porto
Rico to join his command. He has been
on leave of absence since the battle of San
tiago. He was in the military balloon and
was rhe only one hurt when it fell, riddled
by the Spanish. He said this morning:
“Our ascent was made just before day
light. Major Maxfield, a telegraph opera
tor, and myself were the only persons In
the -car. We went up 2,000 feet and were
heM in position 'by four cables. That
height gave us an excellent view of the
San Juan Hill forts and trenches. We
could see troops moving cannon into po
sition and hauling ammunition and the
bringing up of the infantry from the direc
tion of Santiago. We made careful note of
everything—the position of every field
piece and its approximate calibre, the num
ber of troops about the blockhouses, and, in
fact, everything our army needed to know.
This was worked out on charts, and the
general information was telegraphed below
to the officers.
“We bad been at work several hours be
fore the enemy discovered us. Then the
sharpshooters began popping away from
the tree tops, but somehow they didn't hit
us. Suddenly we noticed a commotion in
a battery near a blockhouse. Their big
guns were trained our way and a shell
went screaming over the top of the balloon.
They soon had the whole battery working
and our position became decidedly uncom
fortable.
“Shot and shell whizzed around us for
hours, but did not hit us. Suddenly, about
5:30 p. m., the balloon jerked violently to
one side and a cloud of silk tumbled about
us. A shell had struck the gas bag and we
were sent whirling to the ground. I crash
ed into a treetop and Host consciousness.
When I came -to I was on a stretcher being
borne to the hospital. Here it was found
that two of my ribs had been broken and
•I was bruised from head to foot. As soon
as I could travel I was furloughed and I
came home to Springfield. Now 1 am on
my way to Porto Rico to rejoin my com
mand.”
Sergeant Rosara Bonanzinga is an Ital
ian. He saw service in Italy,. France and.
England, but is now an intense American.

SUMPTER’S REGISTRATION
Books Have Closed and Democracy is in
Safe Place.
Americus, Sept. 15. —The registration
books of Sumter county closed last night
with 2,552 voters registered for the state
election, the Democrats having a ’safe ma
jority over the Populists and Republicans
combined. A strong effort, Is believed, is
being made here to secure the support cf
colored Republicans for the Populist ticket
in the election for members of the general
assembly and county officers, the Populists
having nominated ‘candidates for the house
and senate, and also a ticket for county
offices. It is understood many negroes fa
vor the proposed fusion, though some of the
leaders oppose the same, and a fight in the
ranks may result. Republicans will hold a
meeting at once to determine the question
of fusion with the Populists.
The great Democratic rally here tonight
at which Colonel Candler, Congressman.
Lewis and others will speak, will greatly
strengthen the party position, though over

’BRITISH BARK WRECKED.
Mobile, Sept. 15.—The British bark Bute

Philippine Island Eagles.
The insurrection in the Philippine is
lands, now followed by the attack on Ma
nila by the United States fleet, has brought
to a close a very interesting set of expedi
tions to explore the animal life of this very
little known archipelago, says a writer in
Country Life Illustrate. These were con
ducted by Mr. John Whitehead, and
among the results of bls labors was the
discovery in 1896 of the largest eagle in
the world. It was shot on the island of
Samar, one of the Philippines, where it
lives above the level of the enormous for
est, consisting of trees 80 yards high, and
feeds on monkeys. It is larger than the
golden eagle, more powerful than the harpy
eagle and has a beak higher, deeper and
more formidable than that of any other
raptorial bird. It weighs from 16 pounds
to 20 pounds, while the average weight of
a golden eagle is only 12 pounds.
The only lull grown specimen of the
great forest eagle obtained there is in the
Museum of Natural History at South Ken
sington. It was disabled by a single buck
shot in the neck and ultimately taken down
from the tree to which it clung by a native
hunter. Its claws ’are as formidable as its
beak and resemble those of the harpy eagle.
Wanted to Begin a Record.
An anecdote ho told me with keen relish
was of two “bad men” who ‘‘shot it out”
with Winchester rifles on the main street
of Medora. Onp of them fell with a bullet
in his hip, his rifle dropping out of reach.
His antagonist was aiming for the coup
do grace when ho felt a touch on his arm.
Looking round, he saw a meek and ven
erable old person called “Uncle Billy,”
who gained his livelihood by sweeping
out a saloon, cleaning the cuspidorsand
serving an occasional drink.
“Jake,” said the old man imploringly, :
‘let mo finish him. I never killed a man !
yit.”—Chicago Record.
