4 FIRST MM YET BE RETAINED Officers of the Department of the Gulf Think That This Mav Be Course. ID TMIW Os OFFICERS Will Be Made to the Third From the Other Two Regiments- Gov. Atkinson Disapproves. Atlanta, Sept. I«—There seems to be a growing opinion that, notwithstanding the statements that the First and Second Georgia are to be mustered out. one of these two regiment* will be retained in the service and the Third Georgia will yet go out. It is the belief in the department of the gulf 'hat the question which of the Geor gia regiments is to remain has not been settled in Washington, in spite of the posi tive telegrams that have been received. Some of the officials express the opinion that either the First or Second Georgia will yet be designated as the one to stay in the field. Colonel Hall, adjutant of the depart ment. said yesterday: “I have no idea that the matter has been finally ttled and I would not be surprised to hear from Washington at any time of an order to muster out the Third and re tain one of the other two regiments that have been in the service longer. "We have received no intimation from Washington about the Georgia troops and have no idea when two of the regiments will be mustered out.” The commissioned offices made vacant in the ranks of the Third Georgia regiment by the resignation of those men who prefer to return to their homes to doing guard du'> in Cuba or Porto Rico will be filled m.i.'.lv, if not entirely, with men in the r< . >it who have aided the officers in recruiting and perfecting the regiment in camp. This is the present intention of Governor Atkinson, who has received in the last few <lays many requests from of ficers, leoth of the First and Second Geor gia regiments, asking to be transferred to the Third Georgia, as they desired to re main in the service. Applications of this kind have come in from both Georgia regiments to be mus tered out tn the last few days, and since It was di flniti ly known which regiment of the three was to remain in the field. Governor Atkin-on is of the opinion that th. men in the Third eGorgia who have worked hard to make their regiment what It is deserve to be recognized in some way, and it is his desire to fill every vacancy made by the retirement of an officer by appointment from the ranks of the regi ment, and not put in high position in the command mtn from other regiments who have don. nothing to build up the Third Georgia Governor Atkinson said yester day: "While t’ . me who have applied to me for jda<. in the Third Georgia from the First and Second are ill good officers and deserve to be t tallied, still there are men in the ranks of the Third who have done much for their regiment and should be given file preferinee over outsiders. "Possibly tlnre may be some transfers from the Firel and Second Georgia, but you can ay that marly all the offices made vacant will be filled with boys from' the companies of the regiment.” The idea entertained by Governor Atkin son in regard to the vacancies in the com missioned officers of the Third Georgia is to fill the places made vacant with men in the regiment, whenever competent men can be found for the work, and in case the kind of soldiers needed are not found, then it is the intention of the chief executive to mak< appointments from other Georgia regiments. o jOl. « <c? rt x _zv . Boars tho Thu Kind You Have Always Bought Signature ' S/ of NEW YEAR 5659* Macon Israelites Will Observs a Solemn Fes tival, Beginning Tonight. The Jewisn New Year 5609, which is a moveable feast, will commence this even ing. The holiday vomes ten days earlier this season than last year. It is one of the greatest and most important feasts in the calendar of the Hebrew creed and will be generally observed by the Israelites of this city. The orthodox Jews observe two days With the rising of the first star this even ing the feast will begin and will continue for twenty-four hours. This is a feast, of much repoicing and is observed with much ceremony and jubilation among the He brews. The Hebrew name of the feast is Rosh Hosbhanah. The season of Rosh Hoshhanah, or rejoicing, will last until the advent of the Yom Kippur. or the day of atonement, which follows ten days later Yom Kippur is just the opposite of Rosh Hoehanu'h, being a time of fasting and pen ance. Ihe fasting of Yom 'Kippur is of twenty-four hours duration, during which time an orthodox Jew will not taste food or drink. The fast begins in the evening and continues throughout the suceeding day. The services to be conducted in the synagogue will be very elaborate. Most of the ceremonies will be conducted in song significant of the fact that the season was a joyous one. The New A oar will be ushered in by the blowing of the shofar. accompanied by oth er musical instrument. The order of ser vice :s of ritualistic character, the union ritual being used in the reformed temples and the old ritual in the orthodox syna gogues. No oue part of the service is ex alted at the expense of another, so the ser mon and the ritual are supposed to coun terbalance each other in value The unique thing of the New Y< ar service is the blow ing of the Shofar. The shofar is a trumpet made of a ram’s horn, and its use is the signal for the people to scan the past with a quickened conscience, asking for the par don of the sins committed, followed by a thoughtful consideration of the future year, with a prayer that it may be fruitful of good to the individual. The heartiness and sincerity with which this part of the service is entered into determines in a Ja.ge degree its value to the individual. CASTortTA.

The stockholders of the Macon Neviga tion Company held a meeting yesterday afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce and they came to the conclusion that it was important to build a new boat at once. The committee which has been soliciting subscriptions were authorized to begin col lecting them at once. The committee has been very successful in securing subscriptions and up until a few days ago they had secured enough money to build a new boat and they only need a few dollars more. Judge Charles L. 'Bartlett was at the meeting and he addressed the stockholders on teh subject of appropriations. He said that he would notify the committee ap pointed by the company when to come to Washington and meet the committee of on the subject of appropriations.He said that he thought that if the company would send a committee of Macon’s most promi nent business men that they could do more toward securing the appropriation than any one else. Hon. Roland Ellis was also present and he addressed the meeting. He said that he regarded the undertaking of the com pany as the biggest thing that Macon xhas ever undertaken. He made an excellent talk on river navigation and brought many strong points in favor of a new boat. The members of the company were very enthusiastic and every member present pledged himself to increase the stock of the company not only to build one more boat but as many as was to be needed. The chairman was authorized to appoint a committee to canvass for stock. V meeting of the directors will be held to day or tomorrow and it is thought that they will give out the contract for the building of a new boat. TEXAS PESTS Have Come to Georgia and Are Reported to Commission. Atlanta, Sept. 16 —The Texas “sharp shooter" and the Texas fever are playing havoc in Georgia. Complaints of ravages by both these pests were received yester day at the office of Colonel Nesbitt, the commissioner of agriculture. The Texas "sharpshooter” is a fly or in sect which stings the young cotton boll. The boll continues to grow for a time, but tie staple molds and decays and the boll never matures. It turns black and where it was stung by the insect looks as though it had been struck by a rifle bullet —hence the name given to the fly. Some stalks of cotton were sent in from Troup county to Colonel Nesbitt showing the damage done by the insect. The stalks were still healthy-looking and shoul have been covered with white cotton, but nearly every boll had been pierced by the "sharp shooter.” and with the exception of a few boils near the bottom of the bush, all were blackened and dead. The correspondent stated that this insect had done consider able damage in Troup. The state entomologist is out of the city, but as soon as he returns he will go to Troup and investigate the ravages of this pest. The Texas fever has appeared in a small herd of cattle in Cobb county. The cattle came from Pulaski county and apparently were healthy when shipped to Marietta. Two or three of the steers have 4ied and half a dozen more are sick, but a veteri nary surgeon states that he will cure the rest of them and stamp out the disease. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature ot LOCAL BUYERS FEELING BLUE The Quality of the Cotton Now Coming In Is Extremely Bad. COTTON m STUMP ffl Interesting Decision From Collector. Consumption of the World in Comparative Figures. The quality of the cotton which la brought into the city every day is un doubtedly the worst ever seen here. The warehousemen say that they find trouble in selling it and that many bales are re, jected. The price is lower than it was ever known to be in some time. Mr. Calder 'Willingham said yesterday afternoon that the 'price of cotton was lower than it had been in fifty years. There now seems no probability of the ■price going up. for, in spite of the rains, the farmers are bringing it in rapidly. All that -is brought in, however, is badly stain ed, and some of it is actually rotten. Many of the bales are so wet that it is neces ‘ sary to open the bales and dry the cotton I out. I A farmer who was in the city yesterday I said that he had almost completely picked out 'his crop, as had several other people around him. He said that there were lots of bolls on the cotton but they were all ■ rotten and would never open. Much of the cotton that is now coming in can only be used for mattresses and | for paper. Some of it is badly ginned and the seed is still in it when it I is brought here. I The buyers are all disappointed and do ' not relisn the idea of having such poor cotton on their hands as it is very hard for them to sell it. Over 1,000 bales were brought into the city yesterday, which is the largest num ber of bales received in the city this year. It 'does not seem to many people that the crop has fallen off as the cotton seems to come in so rapidly, but this will not last long as all of t'he cotton is almost com pletely picked out and in a few days the receipts will begin to fall off. The price has not yet gone up and con tinues to drop. The cotton factors are all surprised at the market being so low. Everybody is hoping to see the price go up, and it is thought by some that it will take a big spurt in a few days. Some confusion exists throughout ifhe South as to how the revenue law applies i to bra ns actions in cotton. I 'Many have taken the position that the ; cotton ticket which is given in some places I by the warehouse man to the farmer should i not carry a revenue stamp. Others believ- I ed that this cotton ticket is in the nature I of a warehouse certificate and perhaps is i liable to a tax of 25 cents, as warehouse certificates proper take a 25 per stamp. In order to get an official ruling on these questions, Mr. H. H. North, cashier of the First National Bank, of Newnan, Ga., wrote to the commissioner of internal rev enue at Washington. In reply, Mr. Wilson, the acting commissioner, said that the cot ton ticket which the seller receives and presents at the bank is in the nature of a check, because money is paid on it and it should bear the 2 cent stamp. 'Mr. Wilson does not say who should affix this stamp—tbe warehouse man, who is sues the certificate, or the seller, who gets it cashed. The custom of buying and selling cotton in the interior towns varies in different places. In some points the farmer hauls in one, two, or more bales of cotton, sells them on the street to a buyer, who tells him to take the cotton to the warehouse, have it weighed and get a ticket. This ■ticket is received by the banks and cashed just as a cheek would be. At night the buyer goes to the bank, takes up the tick ets which have been issued by the ware- I house man during the day, and gives one check to cover the full amount. Tn other places, the cotton buyer places his money with a merchant. The buyer stays at the warehouse where the cotton is weighed and sampled. The seller gets a ticket which he takes to the store and trades out or receives cash for as he pre fers. The merchants are usually glad to do this for the buyers because .the farmer gen erally trades at the store where he gets his money. The steady increase in the world’s con sumption of cotton is shown by the follow ing table compiled by the Financial Chron icle: 1880- 7,214,000 1881- 7,540.000 1882- 7,957,000 1883- 7,848,000 1884- 7,344,000 1885- 8,000,000 1886- 8,375,000 1887- 8,751,000 1888- • 9,117,000 1889- 9,635,000 1890- 10,306,000 1891- 10,290,000 1892- 9,996.000 1893- 10,283,000 1894- 11,097,000 1895- 11,113,000 1896- 11,334,000 1897- 11,969,000 This includes the consumption of India. CASTOZEIX-A.. Bears the Kind You Have Always Bought CAN’T FORGET IT. Maine Wteck is an Ugly Picture in Havana Harbor. Havana, Cuba, Sept. 16. —Thousands of pictures cf the Maine wreck have been printed and scattered all over the country, but none of the can give you an idea of what a horrible picutre the wreck Itself presents. The wind <and rain of 'half a ydar have done much to all to its ugliness. It is impossible to get near the wreck, for a boat from one of the Spanish gunboats, with six sailors and an officer on board , stand guard day and night. Throughout } the war this watch hiss been kept, though i for what purpose the sailors themselves do I not seem to know. The correspondent ap- i proached the wreck, but was warned off by the guard. Pretending not to understand i the words cf warning, he approached near er and then the guard came out to meet him. In broken English the officer in charge stated that it was against the rules for i visitors to go on the wreck and they must pull away. We questioned him about the ■ reasons for this, but he could give no sat isfactory reply. At the time of visiting the wreck one of your correspondents was dressed in a sail ors uniform, which came from the Maine, ■ and it is needless to say that the Spanish officer’s eyes opened somewhat wider when told this, and he begged for the ribbon on the cap as a souvenir, but souvenirs of this kind are scarce and he did not get it. He bid us good-by, saying he was sorry we could not go to the wreck. Subscribers must pay up and not allow amall balances to run over from week to week.

MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16 189 b INDICATIONS FOR BUSINESS. Significant Signs Found in the Ordering of Freight Cars. One of the significant indications cf tbe outlook for railroad business in the South is the large number of orders recently given by Southern railroad companies for rolling stock. The -Louisville and Nash ville has ordered three hundred freight cars, two hundred flat cars and two hun dred and fifty coal cars. The Pullman Pal ace Car Company is working on contracts for 1,000 freight and 1,000 coal cars for’the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company; also on sixty-five freight cars and three passenger coaches for the Pecos Valley and Northeastern Railroad, now under con struction in Texas. The Nashville, Chat tanooga and St. Louis Railroad Company has placed orders for 550 freight cars, while the Southern has ordered 1,350 cars, of which 600 will be coal cars. 250 flat cars and 500 box cars. The Southern has also ordered one pasesnger car and four combi nation passenger and baggage coaches. The specification for this rolling stock shows ■that the cars will be built with all the latest improvements, while the freight cars are to be of a large capacity. The total value of these orders will aggregate fully 12,250,000. CAMP FIRES BLAZING From End to End of the Island of Cuba- Peace Reigns. Havana, Cuba, Sept. 16. —'Blazing camp fires all along the North Cuban coast, from Matanzas to within a few miles of Havana, give evidence that peace again reigns on the Island of Cuba, and the Cuban soldiers are again able to show themselves along the beach. The camp fires are about a mile or two apart on the beach and back on the hills, a few miles from the beach, the smoke curls up from a dozen or more camps on top of the hills which dot the landscape. These camps show that the Cubans are concentrating, ready to file into Havana when the Americans assume charge. It also shows that even ttough an armistice has been declared, and hostilities have erased, the Cubans dare not trust the ever treacherous Spaniards. As we >passed along this shore the moon shown brightly, and we could see the forms of woman and children around many of the fires, and we thought perhaps they were the families of some of the men who have spent years in fighting under the Cuban flag, united again after a long parting, and we imagined we could hear the merry peals •of laughter coming from the delighted mother, who embraced her son. or the over joyed wife who has been lovingly clasped in the arms of her long-absent husband. We fancied we could hear the tales of pri vation told and the cheering words of as surance that their troubles were now all over, and peace would be found under the sheltering shade of the Stars and Stripes. FIRST GEORGIA Made a Magnificent Showing in Yesterday’s Review. Knoxville, Sept. 16. —In the review of the corps at Camp Poland yesterday by •Major General J. C. Breckenridge, com manding the first army corps, the Georgia boys distinguished themselves. Although the Georgia regiment was one of the last to pass in review, it captured a greater portion of the commendation showered upon the soldiers. The gallant Georgia colonel rode at the head of his division, composed of the First Georgia and the Thirty-first Michigan with 'the Fourth Tennessee sandwiched between. After the First Georgia had passed in review it double-timed to its camp and was dismissed in time to return and wit ness the passing of the 'Michigan regiment. The Georgia boys sent up shouts for the Michigan boys and the theers seemed to inspire the regiment to a much better ap pearance 'than it would have made other wise. This is one of the many incidents indicative of the filial feeling existing be tween these two regiments. The 'First Georgia reflected credit upon its regimental and company company commanders, and never did the South’s Empire state appear to better advantage' in competition with other leading spates for military honors. General Breckinridge was heard to express many compliments con cerning the appearance of the regiment. He inspected the regimental camp this afternoon and found it to be in fair con dition. CORN IS ROTTING. Physician in Floyd County Says Smell is Un bearable. Rome, Ga., Sept. 16.—Dr. Henry Battey, a leading physician of Rome, drove through the country from this city ot Center, Ala., last night and reports a most remarkable ■condition of affairs along the route. The ■distance is about thirty miles. His drive was along the ‘Coosa river, where the re cent high waters overflowed all the adja cent corn fields. <Dr. Battey says that the stench from these cornfields is simply un bearable. The corn has soured and rotted the smell is said to be worse than a char nel nouse. The people living near the fields are moving up to the mountains to escape the fearful odors. The loss is simply enor mous. STEPHAN BADLY HURT. Injuries Are More Serious Than at First Expected. Mr. William Stephan, who was hit with a brick, is hurt more seriously than was at first thought. He suffered a great deal last night and for a while was unconscious, it was thought once that he would die. He was suffering a great deal this morning. The negro who hit him was captured yes terday afternoon and locked up -in the po lice station.. He also struck another man at the Brewery, but did not hurt him. The negro was tried before Judge Freeman this morning and was bound over to the su perior court on the charge of assault with intent to murder. He was sent to jail and was not allowed to give bail. If the old man dies he will be tried on the charge of murder. There was some talk of lynching him yesterday afternoon if he was caught, but the crowd that was after him did not see him and he was brought to the station without any trouble. WEDDING AT TIFTON. Sheriff of Ware County Carried Off a Beau tiful Br ; de. Tifton, Ga., Sept. 16—For some time past Mr. T. J. MeClland, of Waycross, sheriff of Ware county, and Miss Ella Johnson, one of the charming belles of that pretty city, have been engaged, but parental objection interposed, notwithstanding the match was a good one on both sides, and the young people bided their time. Last week Miss Johnson came to Tifton on a visit to her friend, Miss Docia Phelps, and yesterday morning Mr. McClelland came to Tifton on an early train, procured a license and this afternoon they were united in marriage, Justice E. E. Youmans officiating. They left for their Waycross home on the after noon train. The affair was kept strictly secret and this will probably be the first intimation their friends have of the happy event. ATTENDANCE WILL BE LARGE. The Registration at the Board of Education Continues to be Large. The attendance at the pubic schools this year will be exceedingly large. Tbe pupils are applying every day for admission cards and so far over two hundred have been issued, and the books have only been open four days. Here-tofcre the average registration has been 250 new pupils, but this year Professor Abbott says that he ex pects to have over 300 new pupils enrolled. Many children have been turned down because they did not have their vaccina tion certificates and they will have to wait until they are vaccinated before they can be allowed to enter the schools. The prospects for the year are very bright and everything is in readiness for the opening, which will be Monday week.

The common stock around 146 yields the investor over per cent. A trade adjustment is looked for in the immediate future, and those knowing most about the property are confiident that the stock will make a very substantial advance. The short interest is large. There are many rumors as to a settlement of the People’s gas fight, but so far they have been un confirmed.
