AT MIDNIGHT
TOMORROW
New Switchboard of the Ma
con Telephone Svstem
Will Go Into Use.
«TH THREE months
Hard Work the Wonderful Improve
ment is Ready and Will Be a
Great Thing for Subscribers.
The greatest change ever made In the
telephone system of Macon will take place
tomorrow night at midnight, when the new
common battery (multiple switch board of
the Southern Bell Telephone Company is
put in service.
Since last July (.Mr., Frank 'Minuse, of
New York, with a large number of assis
tants. has been at work placing the new
switchboard in position and preparing for
t,b. change which will be made tomorrow
n . lit. The work has been difficult and
!n ( -icate and considering the great amount
<,f 'labor connected with it the board has
b<< n placed in position in a very short
time.
The changing of the lines of the South
ern (Bell Telephone <k>mpany to 'the now
: witch boards means a revolution in tele
phone circles. It means the end of call
wires and of troublesome connections. It
mc.ina that the people can now converse
through their telephones without being in
terrupted.
There will no longer be any necessity for
.ailing the number of your telephone and
pleading with the operator to give a con
nection. All this will be done away with
and people can ‘talk to one another with
out giving the operator a great amount of
trouble and without, fear of interruption.
In fact, the change which takes place
tomorrow night makes the telephone sys
tem of Macon as perfect as that of any
other city in this country. The switch
ilxiard is one of the largest in the South,
and besides being an instrument of no
small value and service, is also an orna
ment.
After tomorrow night at midnight it will
no longer be necessary for subscribers 'to
pull down the levers of tiheir telephones
and call to the operator, telling what num
ber they desire. Those who do this will
find their efforts futile, because the oper
ator will not hear them. Hereafter when
a übscrlber wants a connection it is only
necessary for him to place the hand tele
phone to his ear and await an answer
from the operator. When the operators
answers he will then tell her the number
wanted, and she will give it.
When the subscriber finishes his conver
sation it will not be necessary for him to
call off. Instead of going through the usual
form he will place the hand telephone on
its hook and the operator will do the rest.
I'rider the old system people often forget
to call off and this left the operator.under
the Impression that their wire was busy.
With the new switch hoard 'the hanging
up of the hand telephone warns the oper
ator that the w ipe is out of service and it
1s disconnected.
The fact that a subscriber wants a num
ber is made known to the operator by
small electric lights, which are placed in
th, switch board directly in front of her.
These lights take the place of the call
wire, make the work on the operator con
aid r.ibly lighter and cause the subscriber
'to obtain a service which is considerably
better than that given through the old
switch board. !
'When a subscriber moves the hand tele
phone from ts hook, a light appears on the
switch board in front of the operator, tell
ing her that there is a call. She then asks
what number is wanted, and receiving the
Information makes the connection. When
• the call is answered 'the lights go out.
When the parties talking finish their
<x>nversatlon and hang up their hand tele
phones two lights appear at another por
tion of the switch board, and she then dis
connects the two wires, putting out the
lights.
The average time required by the oper
ator io make a connection under the new
system is three and one-half seconds. Un
der the old system the time required is
considerably greater.
Heretofore the subscribers have been
compelled to call up the operator before
being able to obtain a number. After to
morrow night there will be no necessity
for this and eohnections will be made
rapidly and the service will be greatly im
proved.
An operator working on the new switch
board has the condition of the wires before
her eyes. At a glance rhe can tell when
one is in servlet and it is not necessary
for subscribers to toll her when they have
finished talking. The lights indicate what
is going on. Their work is instantaneous
and the work of the opreator is almost as
rapid.
The new switch board is thirty feet long
anti contains 1.000 lines. Its capacity is
1,500 lines. For the present each operator
will have one hundred wires. After they
have become accustomed to the new board
the number of wires will be increased.
The operators here have been accus
■tc. ting themselves to the new board and
in a short while will be able to work on it
even better than they were on the old
board. #
\s soon as the wires are connected to
the new board the old one will be removed
and the change in the appearance of the
aperating room will be considerable. The
cables and transmitters used in the oper
ating of the new board will be partitioned
off and nothing will be seen of them.
Mr. Frank Minuse. who has charge of
the work, says the changing of the wires
from one board to the other will require
only about one-half hour. It will be nec
essary to make a slight change in the tele
phones on account of the difference in the
manner of calling, but subscribers are ex
pected to quit using the lever after to
morrow night.
The following card of Instructions has
beer, sent out by the telephone exchange
to its subscribers:
We shall put our new switch board into
opewnion at midnight. Saturday, March
1-th. After that time the following rules
should be observed by the subscribers:
To Call—Remove the receiver from the
hook, and when the operator speaks, give
the number wanted.
To Oisconneot—Hang the receiver upon
the hook.
To Make a Second Call-Hang the re
ceiver upon the hook: then remove, it
again and proceed as in the first call.
Caution—ls necessary to leave the tele
phone during a conversation, do not hang
the receiver upon the hook. If vou hang
up the receiver or handle the hook, vou
will give the operator the fliseonnect sig
nal. Please note that it will not be neces
sary to pull down the lever to make a call.
■Be sure to put the band ’phone to your
ear as soon as you remove it from the
hc<K, so that you can hear the operators
voice.
Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph
Company,
r h,. West. Manager.
Manager Weave- is naturally proud of
the new switch board which is the third
that has been put into this state. Savannah
and Atlanta have these boards but Mr.
Weaver says that in his opinion this board
is better th. : either of the others.
It is a marvelous piece of work. A News
man went over the whole system this
morning and as nearly as possible it is as
given above.
It will be a great convenience to the
whole people of Macon.

FIRST GEORGIA
IMEVIEW.
This Afternoon bv Gov. Atkin
son and Staff—Will Parade
at Four O’clock.
COL OSCAR DROWN
Os the Second Georgia is With the
Governor—A Large Crowd Will
Withess the Review.
Governor Atkinson arrived In the city
thie morning at 11 o’clock over the Cen
-1 tral and will review the First Georgia reg-
I iment at Camp Price this afternoon at 4
o’clock. The regiment will be in full
dress. All of the guns, buttons and other
equipments will be polished up and the
i regiment is sure to make a splendid ap
pearance. Colonel Lawton will be in
charge of the regiment.
This will be the final review and inspec
tion before the regiment is mustered out,
and the officers are determined that their
companies shall show up to the best pos
sible advantage.
Paymaster Manly B. Curry arrived in
I the city yesterday and will begin paying
off the men tomorrow. It is probable that
$30,000 will be distributed to the First
Georgia. The work of paying off a regi
ment is much harder work than it seems.
The paymaster has to examine the mus
ter rolls of each company and has to see
that everything is in shape before be can
begin work. It will probably take him two
weeks to finish his work. The men are
allowed traveling expenses and expenses
for food while en route home, and some of
the men will receive almost a month’s pay
in traveling expenses.
An order was published before the regi
ment yesterday afternoon stating that all
of the privates and non-commissioned of
ficers would be given a furlough from Oc
tober Ist till sundown of October 31st. The
officers will be given a leave of absence.
They will return at the expiration of their
to be mustered out and then they
will be free from the army until they see
fit to enlist again.
Volunteers will be called for to remain in
charge of the camp while the .regiment is
away. The men are all delighted, at the
prospect of going home for thirty days, as
there are many in the regiment who have
not left the ranks since being in the army.
A general muster of the regiment was
held this morning by Colonel Lawton and
everything was gotten in, shape for the
paymaster, who will begin paying off to
morrow morning.
The final review this afternoon will be
witnesesd by a large crowd of people, as it
will be decidedly the best the regiment has
ever put up. Everything will be in tip
top order and the First Georgia boys will
show the people just the kind of a drill
that they can put up. They recognize the
fact that Governor Atkinson is here and
every man will do his best.
The ranks have been greatly thinned
during the past week as many of the men
liave been furloughed and some have been
discharged. But those who are here will
be in the parade this afternoon.
Macon will have many soldiers during
the month as four iMacon companies are
in the regiment. It is now very probable
that several regiments will be stationed
here during the winter.
The regiment may have to remain in the
service after the expiration of their fur
loughs, but it is thought that they will be
allowed to go.

MOVING ALONG
WELL AT MERCER.
Affairs of the College Are in
Very Good Shape,
Things are progressing smoothly at Mer
cer and nothing of importance has come
uphere of late.
The Mercer boys have received a chal
lenge from the University of Georgia to
meet them in a joint debate. The Georgia
boys are still sore over their defeat at the
hands of Mercer last May and are anxious
to regain their lost laurels.
Mercer stands at the top round of the
ladder in oratory and is open to all comers.
It is very probable that the challenge for
a debate will be accepted and that jt will
be held at an early The debate will
no doubt prove interesting as both col
leges have some strong debaters. The
Athens boys claim that they were handi
capped last year in Atlanta by lack of
time, in which to prepare the debate, but
this year they claim that if they are given
the opportunity they will defeat the Mer
cer boys.
It will be announced later on where the
debate will be held and what the subject
' will be.
I The election for anniversarian of the
Ciceronean Society will come off in a few
I days. So far no candidates have been an
i nounced but it is thought that trie race
will be exceedingly warm. Nothing in the
way of athletics has turned up and as the
faculty has prohibited football it is thought
that the boys will wait until next year be
fore they attempt anything in the way of
athletics. The boys say that they will
have the best ball team in the history of
the school andthat they will defeat all
comers. Many of the old players will re
turn to college and besides them will be
many new candidates for the team.
The “rushing season” - is over {with the
fraternities and they have all settled down
to work. New students still continue to
come in.
CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOPS
Will Meet in Annual Session on October the
Eleventh.
Washington, Sept. 30 —The condition of
the Catholic church throughout the coun
try will be considered at the annual meet
ing of the archbishop of the United States
which will be held at the Catholic univer
sity beginning on October 11th.
A full attendance of the leading figures
of the church Is expected, including arch
bishop Keane, who has come from Rome
to attend the annua! gatnering.
The directors o-f the university hold jheir
annual meeting at the same time. It is
understood that the archbishops will deal ,
with little outside of the routine affairs of ■
the church as there are no large questions
pending.
It is said the meeting did not deal with
questions of Catholic authority in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
So far as Cuba and Porto Rico are con
cerned they are under the established
Catholic archbishopric which will not be
disturbed in any way. The Catholic au
thorities are expecting early word from
Rome as to the new archbishop of Santafe
who takes the place of Archbishop Chap
elle, of New Orleans.
The nominations for the Santafe arch
bishopric have been sent to Rome al
though the name selected may be outside
of those on the nomination list.

HOW TO LOOK 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 Bitters” 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’

his present position, but he is there to do
what is right. I know Captain Howell well.
Ho was my commander during the most of
the late unpleasantness, and I have great
faith in him. So have the people of the
South.”
Judge Speer, who is the United States
circuit judge for the Southern district of
Georgia, has been taking a vacation with
Mrs. Speer at Ashland, Wls. He will be
remembered favorably by Illinoisans who
were privileged to hear his »oration on
Grant at Galena on 'the last celebration of
the birthday of the great general.
“It seems providential,” continued Judge
Speer, "that the territory has come to us
■which we now hold as a result of 'the war.
I am in favor of keeping all that we hav?
taken, and I believe that to be the general
sentiment of the people of th South. What
has come to us appears to have been or
dained, and I 'think we should retain firm
hold of it. 'While at Ashland I chanced o
pick up a book on the voyages of Captain
Cook, and while reading it I was surprised
to find that one of his conclusions was that
a nation to have control of the Pacific and
commercial safety in the eastern seas
should hold the Philippines, Guam, the
Sandwich Islands and 'San Francisco. He
noted the dominancy of the Spaniards in
these waters because they did hold these
points which now are all practically in our
control.
"The war has given us some severe les
sons. An important one Is the condition it
has made to American character—the out
breaking of American heroism and Amer
ican endurance in the hour of trial and the
display of American humanity and mag
nanimity. These lessons cannot -be too
strongly taken to heart by our people. We
of the South would have been pleased to
see some Southern regiments on the firing
line, and I think it would have been a good
thing for everybody if several had been
allowed to go out. We raised three fine
regiments in Georgia, and all but the’
Third have been mustered out. I hope to
see the Third remain in the service.
"Do you know that my judicial district
includes the battlefield on which the Span
iards received their last big walloping in
this country? General Oglethorpe, some
time about 1740, with 1,200 Scotch High
landers and a few Indians, whipped 6,000
Spanish troops there, and whipped them
so hard Spain has never fought again on
the North American continent.
"I think with Von Moltke that where a
great result is achieved by force of arms
■criticism should not be aimed at the con
duct of individuals concerned in bringing*
about that result. Rather sage advice from
such an authority.”
