4 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. Notes (Taken On the Run.

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. C-A-STOn-XA. Bears fte The Kind You Have Always Bought 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. MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 30 189 b.

He Is of Course on the Side [of Imperialism and of Alger. From the Chicago Times-IHerald. “Captain Evan Howell, of 'the wan com mission,” said Judge Emory 'S-peer, of Georgia, at the Auditorium last evening, “is one of the most popular men of the South. 'He has a big heart and a 'broad mind, and is loked upon as representative of the South- He will not hurt any one in 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.” C A 8 ‘l* €3 H. ± A . Bears the Y°u Have Always Bought We still have lots of good, clean shoes and are selling at cost. MIX SHOE CO. Academy of Music.
