4 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. JACK KIMBROUGH Is With the Immunes at Santiago—Wants his Mail. Jack Kimbrough, the big moonshiner, w horn Judge Speer released to join the army, has been beard from.

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.

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. HON. JOSE p H BYRNES.

AT HOME NOW AT CAMP PRICE Good Concert Will Be Given Before Dress Parade this Afternoon. 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. rush Tor gold 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 ■tore. WAIT FOR MY OPENING.

Strange Adventures of Miss Brown at Acad emy on Saturday. 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.” BGEORGIA LIBRARIANS.

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.
