NIACON CHAPTER
WILL BE ACTIVE
Daughters of the Confederacy
z Held an Important Meet
ing
TO PASS RESOLUTIONS
On the Death of Miss Davis at the
' Next Meeting-Will Hold
Monthly Meeting.
The Macon Chapter of the Daughters of
the Confederacy m< t yesterday afternoon
with a larger attendance than has been
n< •*! at any meeting of the organization
for a long time. The .Macon Chapter will
Join in the movement to erect a monu
ment to Miss Winnie IXavis and will lend
valuable assistance. At the next’ meeting
of the chapter proper resolutions on the
death of Miss Davis will be read and pass
ed.
Miss J>avi« having been at one time the
guest of the Macon Chapter of the Daugh
ter* of the Confederacy the members nat
ually feel that their action on the subject
of her death requires something more than
the quick and cursory attention of a meet
ing where the matter is brought up and
pas- > d upon without due consideration.
While it will be impossible for any of
the members of the chapter to be present
at Richmond 'omorrow and bake part in
the obsequies, no chapter In the South
feels a more hearty kympathy for the be
reaved mother or feel deeper sorrow at the
death of the "Daughter of the Confed
eracy.”
The Macon Chapter of the Daughters of
the Confederacy will hold regular monthly
meetings in future and an additional in
terest will be added to th». e meetings by
the preparation of a regular program to
consist or reminiscences of the war be
tween the states. The members of the
chapter will take part In these programs
In turn and in this way a valuable collec
tion of matter relating to the war and Its
local connection will be added to the
archives of the chapter.
It. is probable that these reminiscences
will be compiled and edited and that they
will then be published for distribution and
for sale for the benefit of the object of the
organization.
Mrs. T O. Chestney speaking of the fu
ture of tin- organization of the Daughters
of the Confederacy in Macon to a News
rejxtrter last night said that while the war
with Spain had done more than any one
eoubl have conceived possible to w'-e out
a.ny feeling of sectionalism that might be
remainlt ; Lt wa as much Incumbent as
ever upon the members of the organization
to keep it alive.
'We have .as great a duty to perform as
ever,” she said.
"The heroism of our dead soldiers has
not been overshadowed by the heroism of
the men who fought an I served under the
stars and stripes in the 18f>S. Our war, its
history an t the lessons that it taught are
•is much alive in our hearts as ever. When
all ‘race of feeling has been removed by
time and when we Daughters of the Con
federacy have passed over to the great ma
jority the memory of oer dead heroes must
be kept green with their graves bj’ our
children and our children's children. The
p. rpetuabiou ot the work of. the Daughters
of the Confederacy does not indicate any
feeling of sectionalism. Lt simply means
the performance of a pleasant and a pa
triotic duty in which all good cDtlzens Join
and which is honored and respected by all
people of nil countries and of al) sections.”
HOW TO WOK GOOD
Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy con
dition of all the vital organs. If the liver
Is inactive, you have a bilious look, If
your stomach Is disordered, you have a
dyspeptic look; if your kidneys are af
fected, you have a pinched look. Secure
good health, and you will surely have good
looks. "Electric Bitt rs” is a good Altera
tive and Tonic. Acts directly on the stom
ach. liver and kidneys, purifies the blood,
cures pimples, blotches and boils, and
gives a good complexion. Every bottle
guaranteed. Sold at H. J. Lamar & Sons'
Drug Store. 50 cents per bottle.
NO HUGGING
IN THE WALTZ.
The New Rules of the Dance
Do Not Allow a Close
Hold.
1 lie Macon girls and boys are much con
cerned in the proposed changes in the
rules for the dancing of the waltz and
some of them seem to fear the correction
of certain abuses will remove all the pleas
ure from the dance.
It has been decreed in the up-to-date
dancing schools that hugging must stop,
Htid the dancing masters have been evolv
ing ideas as to the proper manner in
which the waits should be danced. The
waltz is not to be banished from society
programs, but It will be regulated and
made to conform to rules adopted by the
dancing teachers. Henceforth the young
man who slides over the waxed floor
•holding to his fa r partner like a grizzly
bear may be ruled out of society.
At any rate the American society of pro
fessors of dancing h;\s decided to apply a
remedy that will remove all objectionable
f.xttures of the round dance; la short, the
professors have decreed that hugging while
waltzing must s;op.
The question of how to correct the ob
jectionable feature of the waltz is one that
has been discussed and studied by the
teachers of the terpslehorean art. for many
yeans. But this season the criticisms be
came bo severe all over the country that it
was necessary to change things 'immedi
ately.
"There is but one proper position to as
sume when waltzing," says an authority,
“and that is the right one. The dancers
should face each other, the hidy standing
a little to the right. The man's right hand
should be placed at his partner's back. Just
above the waist line. The left arm should
be extended and he should hold his part
ner s right hand lightly and easily about
even with the center of the body. That Is
the position 1 have always taught for the
waltz The idea of holding the arm that
should be extended at an angle toward the.
shoulder is contrary to grace and style. It
makes the dancers appear ridiculous and
places the arms in an awkward, cramped
Ixis.Lion. The question of remedying the
troubk caused by what may be vulgarly
termed the hugging position, has always
been a difficult one to correct, and one to
which I have given constant thought and
study. It is beyond all forms of propriety,
but for some reason or other people imag
ine that the round dance allows them to
portray in public that which Is embar
rassing for others than themselves and out
side the limit of good breeding. I am earn
est in my wish to assist society and carry
out Its decision against the vulgar posi
tions."

As an explantation of the name “Black
Maria," given to the police van in London,
the following is a new and very Ingenious
theory: King Charles IPs'state vessel, or
barge, on the Thames, presented to him
by the Dutch in 1660, was called the Maria
and the sombre vessel that then conveyed
its prisoners to the Tower naturally got
the nickname which clings to the land
equippage now known as the “Black
Maria.” In those days prisoners were
brought by waiter to the Tower and intro
duced into the fortress by a private pas
sage by water to St. Thomas' Tower from
the Thames.

HANSON’S SPEECH
Made at Dublin Yesterday Was Not Well
Advised.
'Dublin, Sept 22.—Major J. F. Hanson and
Mr. Wilkinspn spoke here yesterday. They
had between 300 and 400 in their audience.
More than half were colored, some of the
whites were Democrats. There are few
white Republicans in the county, not as
many as twenty-five all told.
Major Hanson’s speech was Republican.
In the main, of course, but he is an im
prudent thinker, and some things which he
aaid ought to make votes for the Demo
crats. For example, he declared that the
man who believes in free trade and free
silver, and votes the Republican ticket
stultifies himself. The major went fur
ther and declared that such a man had no
business in the Republican, party, and
ought not to have the right to vote. He
also stated that a man who brieves in the
gold standard and protection has no bus
iness in the Democratic party. He de
nounced Cleveland, saying that the ex
president had cost this country more
money, more misery and more humbug
gery than Aany other man shat ever. lived..
Major Hanson advocated the annexation of
Cuta and Porto Rico. As to the Philip
pines, he favored whateve- policy would be
to the commercial interests of the United
States He urged the building of the Ni
carauguan canal. Some of his colored
hearers understood him to call it the
‘‘Nigger Auga” canal, and they shouted
“Amen, dat niggeraugan canal ought to be
built.” Subsidies for steamship lines be
tween gulf ports and Spanish-American
countries were also advocated by Major
Hanson, but that question, like some of the
others he discussed, seemed to be above the
heads of part of his audience. He said he
quit the Democratic party because it aban
doned its principles, and-he stated with
much emphasis that he would not stay in
the Republican party if it should abandon
Its principles. He argued that the Demo
cratic party had been inconsistent, and
that both the gold and silver partisans bad
lied about each other. He hoped that both
the old parties would get together on a
policy in regard to Cuba and the Philip
pines. and not make them a political issue.
There is no danger of negro supremacy
s n Geo.'g'a, he declared, adding that it was
only a bug bear with which the Democrats
were trying to frighten the white Popu
lists.
GETTING IN A TANGLE,
Marshal Barnes Wants to Take the Adula to
New York.
Savannah, Sept. 22. —The case of the
prize steamship Adula is becoming more
tangled than ever.
The government authorities at Washing
ton have notified Marshal John M. Barnes
that a cheek for $1,500 would be sent him
at once for the purpose of defraying the
expenses in taking the vessel to New York
to be sold. It is not believed that this
amount will cover the necessary 'expenses
according to the present calculations.
Assistant District Attorney W. R.
Leakin went to Macon last nignt to see
Marshal Barnes and District Attorney
Marion Erwin with regard to the matter.
Mr. Leakin believes lit will require con
siderable more money to pay the expenses
of taking the Adula to New fort
It is said the Adula could be sold in
Savannah for? 40,000 of $45,000 if the court
officials are willing to let her go at that
price. That would be a reduction of $lO,-
000 to $15,000 over the amount originally
■asked for her, but at the same time con
siderable would be saved in the way of
expenses and no chances would have to be
taken.
Marshal Barnes will be here today and
expects to get the Adula ready to go to
, New York by Friday or Saturday.
AT BRUNSWICK
The City of Macon is Expected to Arrive To
morrow.
The steamer City of Macon will in all
probability reach Brunswick tomorrow.
The boat was at Abbeville Tuesday night
and was at Doctortown when last heard
from. It is only a few miles to Brunswick
from Doctortown and it will not take long
to make the trip.
The captain wires that he has on board
a large cargo of naval stores and that he
will take on a great deal more before be
reaches the end of his trip. Work on the
new boat will be commenced very soon and
the city can soon boasit of having two
boats on the niver.
CARRIED CONCEALED WEAPONS.
I. E. Smith Bound Over to the City Court
this Morning.
I. E. Smith, a well known negro who
frequents Rusty Row, was arrested yester
day on the change of disorderly conduct .
and carrying concealed weapons. Yester
day afternoon Smith tried to raise a dis
turbance with some mortormen who were
walking down the street and pulled out a
pistol.
The motormen had him arrested and he
was tried in the recorder's count this
morning. He was fined $5 far disorderly
conduct and was bound over to the city
court under a SIOO bond on the charge of
carrying concealed weapons.
The court was rather small this morn
ing. The case against Smith being the ouly
thing of any importance.

i send their names to he secretary of the
I committee at the Chamber of Commerce
' and they will confer a special favor upon
t the Carnival Association.
; The Ladies’ Auxilliary committee will
j hold a meeting Friday afternoon at the
’ residence of Mrs. Ben C. Smith, on Mul
berry street. Every member is requested
to be present.
The committee is composed of the fol
lowing members: Mrs. Ben C. Smith,
chairman; Mesdames R. H. Plant, W. M.
Johnson, J. M. Johnston, W. E. McCaw,
J. W. Cabaniss, George H. Plant, J. Dan-
I nenberg, E. M. Talbott, Roland Ellis, C.
i B. Willingham, E. J. Willingham, George
| W. Duncan, W. H. Felton, Sam Mayer,
I J. F. Hanson, S. R. Jaques, I. B. English,
1 T. C. Burke, L. A. Jordan, C, L. Bartlett,
; Henry Wortham, L. O. Stevens, and R.
Morrison Rogers.
Mrs. Smith hopes that every member
of the committee will be present at the
final arrangements for the Carnival, so
far as 'the committee is concerned, which
will be made.
President Waxelbaum went to Monte
zuma last night in interest of the Carni
val. He will return this afternoon. The
floats at the park are nearing completion
and will soon be ready for the parade.
The Trades Display committee have com
pleted their canvass and have secured al
most a hundred floats for the trades dis
play.
The Carnival Association will endeavor
to get the old hand fire engine which was
Used for a number of years by the volun
teer department brought back to the city
to participate in one of the parades. It
was suggested that if the engine could be
secured that the members of the company
to which the engine belonged be allowed
to pull it in the parade. The engine is at
present owned by the city of Thomson,
but it is thought that it can be easily
gotten.
Extensive preparations are being made
for the decorations of the residences
throughout the city. Many people intend
decorating their buildings with the Car
nival colors—cardinal and.white.
The members of that so long famous fire
company, Defiance No. 5, are determined
that their enthusiastic friends shall again
have an opportunity of seeing them to
gether, and arrangements are being per
fected for their appearance in the parade
on patriotic day of the Carnival. The cele
brated running squad., composed vt fellows
so daring and gallant, Will again march
•through Macon’s now paved streets, clad
as of old, and will receive the cheers that
so often made them invincible. They will,
as formerly, pull their dear old reel. The
Mattie, which has for 'a number of years
been in the hands of the Cuthbert depart
ment, Ibut which will be brought back for
the occasion, the trophy of many a hard
fought battle. But we have not mention
ed Monk K. Jones, our present chief, who
was as closely identified with Old Defiance
during her illuistroius career, and who,
more than once saw that his was the first
stream on the fire, as he 4s today with our
glorious department that a pride and safe
be sent to council asking that he be per
with his valliant crßw, and ia petition will
be sent to cuncll 'asking that he be per
mitted to parade with No. 5, as in former
years, and it Is more than probable the
request will be granted. Then there will
be Jack Deitz and Frank Loh, who were
never missed being in the running squad
wnen it swept the field, and Hon. W. A.
•Huff, for whom the engine was named,
will be there to give the encouraging word
and to let the boys know how he wanted
to see they had everything they wanted.
This promises to be a great feature of
the parade and everybody is discussing it.
For further information see either Iver
son Harris, Henry Loh or Alex Subers, the •
committee.

Jolm Briglrt’s Prophecy.'
Colonel Birch tells in a Plattsburg paper
of the following conversation he had 30
years ago with Colonel Vincent Marma
duke, and its application to present condi
tions is such that we give it to the public.
Every Missourian knows that Colonel
Marmaduke, like his brother, was a de
cided Confederate, and during the war ho
was the bearer of dispatches from Mr.
Davis to Mr. Mason, who represented the
southern Confederacy in England. Mar
maduke says that one evening Mr. Mason
said to him:
“Mr. Marmaduke, John Bright is to
make a speech tonight in tho house of
commons, and I think it would bo to your
pleasure and interest to go down to hear
him.”
It will be remembered that at that day
Mr. Bright was the most conspicuous fig
ure in England. Marmaduke went, and
during his speech Marmaduke says that
Bright stopped, and, changing his line of
remarks, said, ‘‘Mr. Speaker, if our kins
folk on the other side of the Atlantic set
tle their civil war satisfactorily and get
back together in peace, in 40 years there
will not be a gun fired in tho world with
out their consent.”
This statement at that day seemed pre
posterous, and no one but a man with
Bright’s comprehensive mind could have
dared to make such an assertion to go be
fore the world. It has been but 35 years
since Mr. Bright made that statement,
and yet events have happened in the last
few months which give to Mr. Bright’s
words the spirit of prophecy, and no one
would now hesitate to reproduce it.—
Kansas City Journal.
The Old Man’s Hobby.
There was a traveling salesman foe a
New York hardware house up here tho
other day, and in tho course of his conver
sation ho lot fall a bit of wisdom that 1
believe is worth preserving. Said he: “If
you want to get a man interested and to
draw him out, talk about something he
knows all about. Let me illustrate. I
went down home the other day and found
that my uncle from Philadelphia was
there. ‘I don't believe he has a tongue in
his head,’ said my mother. ‘He never has
a word to say, but sits about as glum as a
funeral.’ ‘What’s his business?’ said I.
'What has he done all his life?’ ‘Nothing
but make bricks.’
“With that I set out to open the old
man up. Wo took a walk. I turned the
conversation around to bricks and aired a
choice lot of misinformation. Uncle look
ed dazed and then grew interested. He
began or> the brick question, and as we
walked on he grew eloquent. He told me
more about bricks than you could find in
all the books. lie piled up information
of various forms. He went into tho his
tory of brickmaking from Babel to tho
United States. He oozed statistics. He
kept it up all the while I was there and
would come up to my room at night to
talk bricks. Yes, it’s a good plan, but it
can be overdone!”—Hardware.
“Get There” Tactics.
“What gives mo most trouble,” said a
foreign military attache, “is trying to
translate your American language into
English first, and then into my own lan
guage, so as to give my government a cor
rect understanding of the spirit and char
acter of your soldiers.
“I find the phrase‘get there,’ forex
ample, difficult. When I saw your in
fantry going forward against tho opposing
troops jn the forts and intrenchments, I
said to the officer with me that the in
fantry should pot attempt such a move
mentwithqut the artillery. ‘You’re right,’
be told me, ‘but the boys will get there.’
At night, when we were all so hungry, I
venturefl to inquire if a further movement
were contemplated till your army was pro
visioned. Then the officers, who were
gentlemanly, all laughed and said the
army would think about rations when
they ‘got there. ’
>( The second day we met many of your
wounded men coming back as wo were go
jpg forward. When the colonel asked
them about the fighting, so many times I
heard them say, ‘We got there,’ and
afterward also I heard those words used
very often. But it is so difficult for mo to
explain so my own people will understand
it what pature pf tacticsis ‘get there.’

Third Class Matter.
“Say,” said the bookkeeper, addressing
the cashier and winking knowingly at tho
office boy, ‘ ‘do you know anything about
this stamp tax?”
“Sure,” replied tho cashier. “What do
you want to know?”
“Suppose,” continued tho b. k., “that I
wanted to express my opinion; would I
have to stamp the express receipt?”
“Undoubtedly,” answered the cashier.
“But if you will allow me, I would sug
gest that you forward your opinions by
mail!”
“And why by mail?” asked tho autocrat
of the jedgjer.
“Because,” replied the cashier, “as they
have no weight it would bo much cheap
