Foundations Are Being Laid and
Will Soon be Ready for the

The corner stone of the Gresham Memo

of the days during the Carnival. Work on
the building is being rapidly pushed and
it is very probable that the work will be
far enough advanced by that time for the
Carnival that the corner stope can be laid.
The cornerstone will be laid by Mr. T. B.
Gresham, the gentleman who has so gen

man of the building committee has com

the four days of the Carnival and that it
be made one of the special features.
As soon as Mr. Gresham’s wishes on the
subject can be known a program will be
drawn up and preparations for the event
will be made. It is proposed to make it
one of the special features of the Carnival

The building when finished will prove
a valuable addition to Macon as the pres

expected that Mr. Gresham will come down
at the time suggested.

In Matters in Which They Are In

More Weight.
At the next meeting of the legislature
several amendments to the present city
charter of Macon will be proposed and car

Among the number will be a repealing of
tfhe clause that gives the mayor and coun
cil absolute power in the decision as to the
material 'to be used for the paving of the
streets and in other matters in which the
property owners are Interested.
There has been considerable complaint
of late as to this particular clause, as it
appears that the property owners have ab
solutely no voice, and 'that no matter what
they might wish, council could legally do
just the opposite thing.
Already steps have been taken looking
to the change in the charter that will give
the property owners more voice in such
matters. It is claimed that unless such a
repeal is made there will be great difficul
ty in passing another issue of bonds before
the people for any purpose of public im

CHAPMAN’S STORE ROBBED
Last Night by a Bold Burglar —No! Much
Stolen.
A bold thief entered Chapman’s store on
Third street last night and stole a few
goods, the exact amount of which is not
known. The thief was a very bold one,
however, and entered the store while sev
eral gas lights were burning.
The entrance was made through the
back door. The thief broke the glass in
rear of the store and prized the iron bars
which were on the door and went into the
store through a small hole. The thief was
a very slick one, as he placed dry goods
boxes in rear of the store, so that he
would be hid while entering the store.
The only things that could be found miss
ing were several pieces of cheap jewelry
and several pairs of stockings. The rob
bery was reported to the police, but so far
no clue has been found.
UNIVERSITY
OF GEORGIA.
Will Open Tomorrow Under
Most Favorable Au
spices.
Athens, Ga., Sept. 20 —The University of
Georgia opens its ninety-eighth session
tomorrow morning, and already quite a
number of the old students are back. For
the most part these students are here
working in the interests of the various
Greek letter fraternities and getting ready
to boom athletics.
All of the departments of the university
are in good shape, and a large attendance
is expected this session.
University athletics are to take no back
ward step this year. The rules governing
football have been so changed that the
most dangerous features of the game have
been eliminated, and the u iversity will
have this year a magnificent football
eleven.
Coach McCarthy, who -rained last year’s
team, is here again, and is satisfied that
he will be able to train a winning eleven
here. Captain Walden is also on hand,
and is enthusiastic over the outlook,
Moore, Bayliss, George Price, Pomeroy,
Harmon Cox and other old players will be
on hand.
The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic
Association has taken the lead in the mat
ter of modifying rules, and the Northern
colleges will follow that lead. The mass
plays, which have so hurt the games, have
been eliminated. There will be no selec
tion now for weight, and no more pound
ing of players or mass formation.
Under the new rules when the ball is
put in play at least seven men must be on
the line. This allows no massing, and the
game must be a running, kicking game,
where brain, skill, quickness of thought
and good dodging are of more importance
than were strength or weight. The rules
against foul play have been made so rigid
that dirty work in a game will be heard of
no more. These new rules have been
adopted by nineteen colleges in the South.
Georgia will begin immediate prepara
tion to meet Vanderbilt in Atlanta on the
29th of October, to play for the champion
ship of the South. This will be made one
of the greatest games of the season.
TREASURER SHORT.
Prominent Business Man of Savannah in a
Peck of Trouble.
Savannah, Ga., Sept. 20—Some new and
interesting developments have come to
light in the case of George W. Haupt, for
mer treasurer of the building fund of the
Duffy Street Baptist church. It seems the
$2,200 which was taken from the fund has
not been paid back, as was stated, and
though the money is in the hands of the
attorney for the church, James R. Cain,
the friends of Haupt, who put it up, have
demanded its return Tor several reasons.
The church thereupon brought garnish
ment proceedings in the city court for the
purpose of securing the money and the
amount is now held up pending the action
of the court. To add to the confusion in
the case of Mr. J. P. Williams, president
of the Oglethorpe Building Company,
Haupt’s employer, made a demand for
SI,OOO of the amount.
It seems >he gave Haupt a check for
SI,OOO a few days ago to pay on the pur
chase price of some property. Haupt made
the cheek payable to the party in question
"or bearer.” had it cashed and used the
SI,OOO in paying part of his discovered in
debtedness to the church. The money has
not been returned, but Mr. Williams will
insist on getting it back.
Haupt was bookkeeper and accountant
for J. P. Williams, one of the largest naval
stores firms In the city, where he received
a salary of S2OO a month. He has lost that
position.

Meeting of Committee.
The executive committee of the Carnival
Association held a lengthy meeting yester
day evening and a large amount of busi
ness in connection with the
■was transacted.
The music committee was instructed to
make contracts with five of the state bands
to furnish music on this occasion. Cards
Second R.gl.n nt band, the Fifth Regiment
band, of Atlanta, the Eastman band,
Worm’s Orchestra and Professor Baldwin's
band of Milledgeville and the Warrenton
band are among the number, and in addi
tion to these several other bands will be
present during the carnival.
It? will be seen, therefore, that there will
be no lack of music of the very best kind.
The committee on public comfort has
made 'a thorough canvass of the city for
the purpose of finding out just how many
people can be accommodated at the pri
vate houses and at the hotels. This com
mittee will report finally next week, but
It is expected that it will have ample ac
commodation for everyone.
The Venetian Revel feature of the Car
nival is developing into the biggest feat
ure of the whole thing, and the committee
appointed for the purpose of making the
rules and arrangements to govern this
feature will go to work at once and the re
sult of their deliberations will be ready to
be announced in a few days.
The committee to take charge of the
Venetian Revel will consist of Messrs. Nat
Winship, chairman; Burr Brown. Robert
Hodges, John W. Byrne, J. R. Kennedy, W.
C. Knobloch, Ben J. Smith, Charles J.
Wilburn.
. The Carnival is becoming widely adver
tised. Every day letters are received in
the city from all parts of the country ask
ing for information about the city and the
celebration and about the rates and other
matters. The officers of the Association
are highly pleased to know that the Carni
val has ben advertised so extensively and
are sending out letters every day to make
It more so.
Governor Saddler, of Nevada, has sent
President Waxelbaum the flag to represent
his state in the parade. The flag is made
of the finest silk and has the great seal of
Nevada stamped on it in silver. The flag
is one of the prettiest ■Av-, r seen hero and
will be a valuable souvenir to the young
lady who carries it.
prominent men will visit Macon
during the Carnival. General Fitzhugh
Lee, the most prominent man in the United
States today, has said that he will be here.
Governor Atkinson. Senator Clay, Senator
Gordon and numerous others have already
signified t’heir intention of coming and the
city will be full of prominent men.
New features are gotten up each day for
the Carnival. Everybody seems very much
interested in the undertaking and are giv
ing the officers of the association all the
assistance that it possible. Many visitors
are expected here, and many people are
of the opinion that it will be impossible to
accommodate the crowds that come. The
public comfort committee has been busily
ata work since last week and they have
secured the names of many cople who will
open their floors to the visitors.
The Carnival Ball committee will hold a
meeting this afternoon at the Chamber of
Commerce and every member is earnestly
requested to be present, as some important
business will comp up. The price o adnrs
sion to the Carnival Ball has air ady beeiv
decided upon. The tickets will be sold for
three dollars each and will admit a lady
and a gentleman, but not two gentlemen.
It is now almost a certainty that the
University of Georgia and the Georgia
School of Technology will meet here on
Saturday after the Carnival. The teams
will probably meet Saturday afternoon at
the baseball park and it will be a game
well worth seeing. Both schools have had
teams on the field for a number of seasons
and both are well known. The Athens boys
always draw a crowd wherever they go,
and this game will draw many people that
would not otherwise came. The Georgia
boys will probably come over on a special
train and a large crowd of Athenians will
come with them. The Techs will also draw
a large crowd from Atlanta.
The game is sure to bring people here,
and if the college boys do come the city
will be turned over to them and they will
give the own a coat of cardinal in recogni
tion of the colors of the occasion.

go Cathedral.
Which one of Ray’s immunes was it who
was baptized in the fount of the Santiago
Cathedral, much against his will? His
friends here in Georgia would like to know'
his name. A Santiago special to the New
York Sun of Saturday, dated September 16,
says: An accident occurred yesterday
which some of the soldiers regard as
amusing, while others are outspoken in
their denunciation of the affair. An in
toxicated immune walked into the’Cathe
dral, and, after calmly surveying the in
terior, he walked up to some priests and
told them that he did not like the way
things were run there. The priests at
tempted to put the soldier out of the build
ing, but he resisted, and while struggling
with them he feH into the great bapktis
mal fount, which was full of water. He
was nearly drowned before he was dragged
out of his involuntary oath. The priests
are greatly scandalized by the actions of
the drunken soldier and will seek to have
him punished.

A Business Suit, of Course.
Marvelous what a touch of style will do—or what the
lack of it will do. Costs nothing to put in, if the
tailor knows how. And it lifts the rig from the
level of commonplace, so that even careless eyes
notice it.
You can pay $lO 00 for a Business Suit here—
Mixed, Cassimere or Scotch Cheviot—and secure
that elusive style touch. Or you can pay 2)15.00 for
an All Wool Worsted in fancy effects; or twenty
other prices for twenty other styles.
