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.

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.” Bucklin's Arnica Salve The best salve tn the world for cuts, bruises, sores, ulcers, salt rheum, feve sores, tetter chapped hands, chilblains, corn*, and all skin eruptions, and posi tively cure* piles or no pay required.

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.

MACON NEWS THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16 ißc& 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. THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.

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.

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 whelming Democratic success in the state election is already assured beyound doubt. MISS SOLOMON DEAD.

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.
