WILL CLEAN UP
FOR CARNIVAL
Meeting of the Citv Council
Las Night Brought Out a
Recommendation.
. SIGNS ON SIDEWALK
During the Carnival Provoked More
Discussion Than Anything Else
Lin the Meeting.
Council held a longer session than usual
last night but nothing of special import
ance was accomplished beyond the deter
mination on the part of council to have a
general cleaning, up.
The first thing to come up after the
reading of the minutes was the petition of
Mr Jake Logon’s asking permission to
place a sign over the sidewalk in front of
his store during the Carnival* This peti
tion brought up a lengthy discussion —the
longest that has taken place in four
months. Some of the councilmen were in
favor of granting tHe petition while others
were opposed to It.
The question was argued for some time
and finally Clerk Smith read an ordinance
against the placing of signs over the side
walk Aiderman Mayer was in favor of
granting the petition and it was finally
moved to refer the petition to the commit
tee on sidewalks. The motion was car
ried.
A petition from the citizen® of Pine
street requesting that they be allowed to
name that portion of the street between
Spring and Orange, "Daisy* Park," was
granted.
At this stage of the proceedings Mayor
Price stated that during last week 'he had
received a telegram from General Schwan
in regard to the sites which the city would
offer and linked the clerk <to read his reply.
Tn his reply he stated that the city of Ma
con would offer to the United States gov
ernment Ocmulgee park, and fifty acres of
ground adjoining the park or that the gov
ernment could have the use of Central City
park. He said that the city would put in
water mains, a spur track from the South
ern railway, electric lights, etc., all free
of change and that the city would also
furnish anything that the government
needed. Mayor Price was of the opinion
that the government would send several
regiments of troops here to camp during
the winter months.
The finance cornmitete reported that
they thought five copibs of the Macon di
rectory would be a sufficient numiber for
the city and that they recommended the
purchase of that numiber. The report was
adopted.
The petition of the Macon Cycle Club
asking for the use of the park on Thanks
giving day was granted, provided that tho
park was not occupied by isoldlers.
A resolution was Introduced in regard to
the license law, which called for the
amendment of the wholesale license .to
read that oils sold at wholesale must be
sold In original packages. A resolution was
introduced which prohibits any more ex
cavations in the streets until after the
Carnival and that all the rubbish on the
streets be removed.
The Board of Health was instruted to
order the removal of the pile of debris in
front of Lamar’s store on Cherry street
and elsewhere in the city. Nothing else
of importance was an hand and the meet
ing was adjourned until next Tuesday.
GENIUS HAS A SCHEME
By Which the Cotton Acreage Will Be Re
duced.
There is a cotton man in Augusta who
has a great scheme on foot for the reduc
tion of the cotton acreage. He says he in
tends to push it 'to a grand and glorious
success and no doubt he will if he can get
the proper co-operation.
There is a degree of uncertainty about
his being able to do that, however.
There have been a number of conven
tions of cotton planters, in which they all
positively pledged themeelves to reduce
the amount of cotton they would plant.
It was a ease of resolute and fall back.
Then when the farmers got home, each
one would wink at himself; assume that
everybody else was going to decrease the
arcrcage, and he would take advantage of
the opportunity to double his own acreage
lu cotton and get the benefit of higher
prices. They would all play foxy in the
same way and the consequence would be
a crop of unprecedented size. Now this
Augusta genius has hit upon a scheme
which logically cannot fail. iHe proposes
to ‘.ill a convention of aJI the cotton plant
ers in this part of the South. They will
aa. ii and all be pledged to double their
cotton acreage for the next year. Every
sai<■-;uard will be thrown around them so
that according to all the laws of the game
the acreage will be doubled. And then one
by one they will secretly determine that
as there Is to be an overproduction of cot
ton. he will plant a minimum acreage, and
let the other fellows reap 'the proceeds of
2-cent cotton.
•As a consequence we would have the
smallest crop of cotton planted In flflteen
years and the fleecy staple will go up to
12 cents.
This genius has not yet decided whether
he will ask for she Cotton Exchange in
which to hold the meeting, or hold it in
rhe open air. but he expects a large at
tendance and larger returns.

OFF TO OMAHA.
Members of the Georgia Press Association
Left Last Night.
Atlanta, Sept. 28—(About seventy-five
members of the Georgia Press Association
and about sixty prominent Georgians left
the city last night over the (Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad for
Omaha to attend the Georgia day exercises
at the exposition, the 30th instant.
The party will be about .two days en
route, and wild spend fifteen days in the
west before returning. The delegation was
headed by President iH. H. Cabaniss and a
jollier crowd of newspaper men is seldom
seen.
Several of the party will take prominent
part in the Georgia day exercises. The ex
position commissioners will be represented
by Commissioneds Henry Richardson and
John F. DeLacey, both of whom will make
addresses. Mr. John Temple Graves and
wife will speak for the state of Georgia.
An interesting program has been arranged
for the day, and the Georgians will no
doubt make a god showing.
The press association held its annual
meeting in tihe Kimball house yesterday
morning. President Cabaniss presided.
The most Important (business transacted
was the election of officers for the ensuing
year, which resulted a® follows: President
H. H. Calbaniss; first vice president, John
Triplett; second vice president, W. A.
Knowles; treasurer. J. W. Anderson: re
cording secretary, 'B. F. Perry; 'corres
ponding secretary. G. iH. Johnson.
The executive committee, consisting of
the following prominent members were
unanimously re-elected: W. A. (Hemphill,
chairman; R. W. Grubb. J. W. Chapman.
E. 'B. Russell, and Tyler M. Peeples.
The following new members were ad
mitted:

Journal.
President Cabaniss In a neat speech,
thanked the 'association for the many hon
ors it had conferred upon him, and stated
he hoped to take the members to Porto
Rico next year and to Paris the year after.
CALLED HIM DOWN,
frank Weldon Would Not Allow Wilkinson to
Go Too Far.
Dublin, Ga., Sept. 28 —In his report of
the Hanson and Wilkinson speeches here
Wednesday the Constitution's brilliant
special correspondent, Mr. Frank Weldon,
omitted some of the most interesting de
tails of the incident in whifh he himself
figured most prominently.
Mr. Weldon was obliged to interrupt Mr.
Wilkinson almost at the outset of the lat
ter’s speech, and the interruption seemed
to have a depressing effect up on
tor. who never appeared afterwards to re
gain his wonted composure and self-confi
dence.
Wilkinson said but few words before he
began to attack the Constitution. He de
nounced it as a paper that hesitated at
nothing to further its own interests and
the success of the Democratic party. He
characterized the Weldon article on condi
tions in North Carolina as a base and
slanderous exaggeration, and and declared,
in a dramatic manner:
"Frank Weldon has not been in North
Carolina!”
Handly had he uttered the words before
Mr. Weldon, with face flushed with the
excitement that he could not conceal,
jumped to’his feet and retorted:
“Yes, he has. too. He is going back there
next week, and what he has written about
North Carolina is true!"
If Mr. Wilkinson made any other refer
ence to the North Carolina matter the au
dience failed to hear it. Mr. Weldon’s
presence .was very fortunate and his
prompt correction of Mr. Wilkinson put a
black eye on almost everything else that
the Valdosta statesman had to say.

SOLDIER WAITS TRIAL
For the Killing of a Brother .Soldier
at Knoxville —Notes from
the Camp.
A large crowd of people .were at Camp
Price yesterday afternoon to watch the
; dress parade, which took place at 5 o’clock
sharp. The regiment was formed in bat
talions in close column and showed the
men up in fine shape.
The regimental band furnishes fine mu
sic for the parades. It is decidedly one of
the best bands in the country. The align
ment of the companies when they passed
the reviewing stand yesterday was perfect
and they received much applause.
Corporal Blanenshlp, who .was cut by a
negro Monday night, is resting easier and
will be out in a few days. The wounds
were not serious and will not amount .to
much.
The camp is arranged splendidly and is
kept wonderfully clean. Only four men
were sick yesterday and this was contract
ed on the trip down from Knoxville.
The soldier who accidentally killed Pri
vate Pate is confined in the guard house
1 at the camp awaiting trial. It is the/jpin
lon of the whole regiment that he will be
acquitted. One of the privates .who was a
witness to the whole affair said yesterday
that the shooting was purely accidental
and as the dead man fell he said that he
fiid not mean to do it.
The officers and men are very courteous
to all of the visitors and take pleasure in
showing them the camp. The First Geor
gia regiment was noted for its hospitality
wherever it was stationed and it has re
ceived more favorable comment from the
press than any other regiment in the ser
vice.
The men are (anxiously awaiting pay day
for all of them want to go home. There
are some who will ask for a transfer if the
regiment is ordered mustered out. There
are some who wish to remain in the ser
vice and they iwill probably be sent to the
Third Georgia.
I’he regimental band will give a concert
this afternoon just before dress parade.
The concerts are very much enjoyed and
a large crowd is always on hand to hear
them.

IN NEW REGION.
Hamblin Garland Tells Tot His
Experiences in the
Klondike.
Chicago, September 28.—Hamilton Gar
land, novelist and special corespondent of
the (Chicago Inter-Ocean, writing form
Shagaway, August 30, says:
After long travel and some tribulation
The latest “rush” has involved the cor
respondent along with everybody else in
this district. Skagaway is as quiet as a
prairie town in winter. There is no “shoot
ing,” no “grafting,” no "rolling” of newly
arrived. Dawson miners, and very little
gambling.
Every man who can get away has gone
or is going to 'the new strike at Pine creek,
those who can’t get away are sending
some one else. They believe in this strike.
They were not oarired away by the stam
pede to Walsh Creek last winter, but they
are excited now. Out of the 1,500 men
working on the railway nearly 1,000 have
quit work. .Many of the small shopkeepers
have locked their doors or turned their
business over to their wives. On every
side one may see men with picks on their
backs plodding along the 'trails to join
the long procession of other heavily laden
two legged beetles with noses set to the
north.
The story goes that a man by the name
of Roberts has been quietly working on a
small creek ’which runs into Atlin Lake
from the easterly side. He thought he was
in northwest territory and subject to roy
alty; therefore he said little about the
output. Some ten days ago he came into
'Bennett City to buy some provisions and
in a moment of indiscretion his secret es
caped him. Bennett was boiling with the
news when a steamer came uip the Yukon
aud some of them turned back and made
a rush to get “next.”
Two of these men have returned to
Skagaway and their report has put the
final push to an evacuation. One man
(Mr. Tennant, a reputable citizen) says
he dug a small hole in his claim and at
four feet panned a couple of shovels of
dirt, out of which he claims to have taken
about thirty cents. I have seen the gold,
but as it is in a bottle and looks very
much like other bottles of gold from Daw
son I am not prepared to announce a
great strike on Atlin Lake.
The other man, who has been to thi*
promising land and returned, is Jeff
Evans, of Portland, Ore. •
He reports people streaming by boat
and trail and that locations are being
made with great rapidity. He considers it
a cheerful country 'to mine in—open easily
traversed, with plenty of water for sluic
ing or rocking. The lake is beautiful and
•the soil a black alluvium. The gold he
showed was of mixed character. It con
sisted of fine dust, flat scales and one or
two larger flat nuggets.
It will thus be seen that no decisive
thing can be reported at he present mo
ment. The air is full of gold, but it is
mainly in the blue distance yet. I am to go
in a day or two to see for myself what the
new mines contain.
Skagaway has acquired unquestioned su
premacy among coast cities. Her improv
ments are more permanent and during my
stay in the town I have hardly realized
that I was in a far northern part—the
cold winds from the mountains alone re
minding me of it. The land is cold and
majestic, without color or grace. Bronze
green, gray sea and vast rivers of ice
descending from the clowds in splendid
sweeping curves, while far above the
peeks, half hid in angry mist, are stern
and menacing.
Men are beginning to roll into the town
from the south in response to the Cottage
City’s leport. Returned Daw .jn miners
may be cn the street, surroundel by
clusters of eager listeners, but he man
from Atlin Lake is treated with almost
as great respect. Rates for freight to Lake
Bennett Range from 8 to 10 cents per
pound. Fare by boat to the head of Taken
Arm is S2O one way, S3O the round trip.
One hundred pounds of grub free. Boats
are from $75 to SIOO each. It is about 100
miles byway of boat and about 50 by a
dubious trail.
A CLEVER TRICK.
It certainly looks like it. but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can try
It who has lame back and weak kidneys,
malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he
can cure himself right away by taking
"Electric Bitters. This medicine tones up
the whole system, acts as astimulant to
the liver and kidneys, is a blood purifier
and nerve tonic. It cures constipation,
headache,” fainting spells, sleeplessness
and melancholy, ft is purely vegetable,
a mild laxative, and restores the system to
its natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and
be convinced that they are a miracle
worker. Every bottle guaranteed. Ouly
50c a bottle at H. J. Lamar & Sons’ drug

Speaking of the attractions booked for
the Academy of Music next Saturday, the
Savannah News says:
“It is seldom that Savannah theater
goers have an opportunity of seeing such
' a good company of players as that which
I presented the “Strange Adventures of Miss
Brown” last night, especially so early in
the season.
■ “The play is a farce of a high class,
. with just enough plot to hold the interest
• of the audience, and yet not confuse it, as
• most farces do. The dialogue is crisp aud
bright, and the situations are comical,
•without 'being too farsical.
“While the company does not boast of
’ a single star, every member of it is capa-
■ ble. In fact, it is, all in all, one of the
most competent companies of its kind seen
at the theater.
"Mr. J. P. Tucker, as Captain Courtenay,
’ who masquerades as “Miss Brown,” gave
1 a very good (portrayal of both the English
' officer and the awkard boarding school
1 girl.
1 “Miss Lucia Moore, as Angelina Bright
well, the heroine in the piece, caught the
fancy of the audience. Her role was a
pretty one, and she acted it in a manner
that was graceful and pleasing. Mr. Seid
man was a typical German professor, as
was Mr. McSweeney an Irish officer. Mr.
Burnham, Miss Bates, Miss Newcomb and
others made up the company.”

side of the convention a success. Among
, the prominent women from other cities
who are interested in the movement are
interested in the movement are Mrs. Moses
Wadley, of Augusta, and Mrs. Eugene
Heard, of Middleton.
WAS DISMISSED.
Man Charged With Illicit Distilling Was Dis
missed.
IDan Vaughn, who was arrested yesterday
in Pike county, charged with running an
illicit distillery, was tried before Commis
sioner Erwin this morning and dismissed.
He proved to be the wrong man. The evi
dence was very strong against him, how
ever, but he proved that he was the wrong
man and 'that it was someone else who was
making the moonshine.
IS A DEAD LAW.
The Code Requires Ordinary’s Mark on All
Measures.
In chapter 4, pages 448 and 449, sections
1636, 1637 and 1638 of (the code of Georgia
there is a law that is not enforced and is
practically dead.
These sections state that in every county
the ordinary shall be supplied with stand
ard weights and measures by the state and
that all persons selling gods in said coun
ty shall be ■compelled to take their weights
and measures to the ordinary and have
them tested and bls seal put upon them.
If anybody has been selling goods that
were not weighed by these measures and a.
complaint was made tihey would be pre
sented to the .grand jury for violation of
the law.
The law also goes on to state that if a
bill is made against a person for goods
bought which were not measured with the
ordinary’s 'mark, the person is compelled
to pay only three-fourths of the bill and
before “93” he was not compelled to pay
any of the bill.
AT POLICE STATION.
Only Three Cases Entered on the Docket
this Morning.
Everything was quiet in the city hall
last night as only three arrests were made.
The persons arrested were all negroes and
the charge against them was drunk and
disorderly. They all plead not guilty.
Judge Freeman said they were and two of
them were sent to the chaingang for thirty
days and one was fined $2.50. The case
of Lorenzo Grace, who cut Corporal Blank
enship, was continued until Saturday. This
was done so tha't Blankenship could be in
court.. The negro is not badly hurt and
will be alright by tomorrow.
GERMAN BAPTISTS ADJOURN.
St. Louis, Sept. 28 —The triennial confer
ence of the German Baptists of the United
States and Canada has been concluded. It
was decided to meet in 1901 at Berlin,
Ontario. The German Baptist orphanage
in Louisville will be given up.
Sun Spots.
The annunceinent that Paris meteorolo
gists regard sun spots as having some re
lation to temperature leads the Rochester
Post-Express to say:
“It is more than 15 years ago that Henry
C. Maine of this city proclaimed as an in
controvertible scientific fact the indissolu
ble relation of cause and effect between
solar disturbances, better known as sun
spots, and meteorological disturbances on
the earth, and thus incurred the ridicule
that comes to reward a man of an original
turn of mind for a discovery that runs
counter to current ignorance and preju
dice.
“Now that he has won the good fight
and laid the foundations to a true science
of weather we do not propose to stand by
in cowardly silence and permit the Paris
meteorological authorities’ or even so re
spectable a scientist as M. Flammarion
coolly to gather in the fruits of his long,
arduous and most noteworthy labors.”
Count Mnravieff.
‘ Count Muravieff, ” says the. London
Sun, “is a dandified little man to look at.
with a taste for English check trousers
and billycock hats. lie used to be regard
ed as old Russian to the backbone and
the uncompromising enemy of all western
institutions. It was supposed, too, that
he was more completely in sympathy with
the views of Alexander 111 than of the
present czar. Count Muravieff was said
to have been indebted for his appointment
as minister for foreign affairs to the em
press dowager, and his appointment was
regarded as a triumph for the reactionary
party.”
