TRAINS ALL DELAYED.
Impossible Yet to Get Any Informa
tion Very Little Damage Done

Great damage was done by the storm
-which struck the city lari night about 9
o’clock. The storm had been brewing all
rtay long and it n truck the city in full blast
about 9 o’clock The nun which fell did
no particular damage tut the damage done
by tbe wind was very great.
Tr<<* and fences are down on every side.
In some portions of the city ho i*e* were
unroofed, windows were smashed and for
a while it looked as If somts of tbo large
building would blow down. The wind bl»w
at the rate of about fifty miles en hour
and confined for some time. It was nec
essary to cut off all of the electric light*
and stop the electric cars from running,
an there was so much danger of live wires
being blown to the groun i and from 12
o’clock until daylight this morntng the
city wan in darknraa.
The telegraph wirea on all of the rail
roads except tbe Georgia are down and it
is impossible to get any news from ths
coast, where the storm was the greateat.
The win* of both telegraph companies
are down, and it is impossible to reach At
tan la except by Augusta.
The Southern train which was to arrive
here yewterday afternoon at 4.45, has never
reached the city and it is thought that it
was impossible for the train to leave
Brunswick on account of the high tide".
The train which was also due at 2.05 thia
’rn/wning as not yet come in and it is not
lenown when it will arrive. Nothing can be
learned from the trains and those which
were sent out yesterday have not been
heard from. The trains to Atlanta over the
Southern are running all right.
The Central train from Savannah came
in on time this morning and the train men
say that the road was not damaged at all,
but that all of the telegraph wires were
down The Georgiy Southern from Palatka
also came in on time. All of the wires on
that line an* also down and nothing can be
learned from tbe lower end of the line.
The Georgia road is alright and none of
tho wires are down. Tbe Southwestern
trains are running on time and tbe em
ployes say that the road is in good condi
tion. The wires of the Macon and Dublin
are broken in several places but that will
not interfere with the running of trains.
The Southern officials say that they do
not know when the will get a train out of
Brunswick, as it is Impossible to hear from
there. If they cannot use their track out
they will try the'Plant system and will en
deavor to get a train in by tomorrow.
• The damage done in the city will not
amount to much, 'but in many places the
■trod* are blocked with fallen trees. Sev
eral buildings were Hooded on account of
the roofs blowing off. Signs were lying all
over tbe streets this morning and in many
places the sidewalks were covered with
Klass from broken windows.
This morning the cars on the Maoon and
Indian Spring street railroad had to sue
pend running for some time on account of
the wires being out of order. Trees had
fallen across the trolley wire out near Oc
mulgee park ami it was impossible for the
cars to run until they were removed.
Linemen were busy this morning re
pairing broken wires, which had fallen dur
ing the night. The wind subsided about 7
o’clock but the rain continued throughout
the morning.
Several of the warehousemen were asked
If they thought that the storm would in
jure the cotton. Mr. W. A. Davis said that
lie did not know the extent of tbe storm but
that he was very much afraid that the wind
and rain would greatly injure the cotton.
No farmers have been in the city today
and it is impossible to find out the result
of the storm in the country. It is thought,
however, that the cotton crop is badly
damaged and that all open cotton has been
ruined.
News was received this morning that the
wteamshlp City of Augusta, from New
York, had arrived in Savannah. Groat un
eaaluess was felt here for a while for the
aafety of the boat as there are several Ma
con people on board. Mrs. L. P. Ilillyer was
among the passengers.
Nothing has ben heard from Macon's
steamer, the City of Macon, which sank in
IRuttermtlk Sound a few day* ago, and It is
not known whether or not the storm of
yesterday completely destroyed her. An
efhirt had been made to raise the boat, but
it is not known whether it was successful.
The owners of the boat fear that the high
ttde ruined all of the chances of ever rais
ing the boat.

FIELD’S MINSTRELS.
What a Birmingham Paper Has to Say of
the Attraction.
Age-Herald, Bimingham.
‘The best minstrel show ever given In
Birmingham." was the unanimous verdict
of the audience which witnessed Al Field's
minstrels last night. Not only was it a
"standing room only” audience, but is was
also one of the most refined that has ever
been seen In the opera house. And there
was not a thing in the entire performance
that could offend the most sensitive ear.
The best part of the show was the en
tirely new specialties introduced. The lit
tle minstrel sketch, "In Cuba," with Al
Field in the leading roll, was something
real new and up-to-date. It dealt of the
adventures of tbe negro cook in a com
pany of the Rough Riders while before
Santiago.
An electrical pantomime entitled, "Gone
to the Moon." was another of the novel
ties introduced.
The introductory scene of the show while
lu the conventional minstrel style, was
brimming over with good songs, dances
and jokes. Dan Quinlan's work as inter
loeuter was brighter than ever, and .tflat
is saying a great deal. Al Field's jokes
were absolutely of the latest manufacture,
for almost every one of them were on the
Spanish war; they had to be new. Doc
Quigley’s eccentric dancing was highly ap
plauded. Kverhardt, the juggler. Gruett,
'Beers & Greet*, in their aerobatic specialty
euUtled a "Strange Sweetheart," Arthur
Rigsby in his confidential talk with the
audience. Leilliott. Busch and Leilliott. in
their musical family act, and Faust acro
4>atlc family were all far above the average
minstrel attractions, and all of them were
roundly applauded. Tffe music of the
whole performance, both vocal and instru
mental, was better than ever.

Race Men Say that Success is As
sured-Floats Ready—Meet
ing on Wednesday.
President Waxelbaum, of the Carnival
Association, is daily revolving flags from
the governors of different states for the
use In the Patriotic Parade.
The prettiest flags which have yet been
received are those from Indiana and Mary
land. The Indiana flag is made of the
finest silk and measures 3x4 feet.
An effort will be made to get at least
one regiment of soldiers here by the time
the Carnival comes off so that they can
participate in the Carnival parade.
The executive committee will hold a
meeting at the Chamber of Commerce
Wednesday afternoon and the chairman of
every committee and every officer is re
quested to be present as it will the final
meeting of the committee and some very
important business is to be transacted,
All the business men are expected to
decorate their places of business during
the Carnival with the Carnival colors—
cardinal and white. The ladies are going
to decorate their residences and if all of
the business men would do the same the
1 bity would present a gala appearance. The
colors are beyond doubt the prettiest that
could have been selected and if all of the
city were decorated in them when the time
for the celebration comes off it would add
greatly to teh appearance of the city.
The floats which have been at the park
for so long a time are now almost ready
to be brought out.
Paine's Fire Works Company is busily
at work arranging for their great display
which is to be held here for three nights.
The race horse people have fully com
pleted their plans and many horses are
now on the track training for the races.
The Columbus football team wall arrive
in the city Wednesday week and will lock
horns with the Macon team on the follow
ing day. The Macon team is in good shape
and there seems to be no doubt as to the
result of the game.
The line of the 'Macon team has not yet
been announced but it will probably be
published Saturday together with the Co
lumbus team. The game promises to 'be
very interesting and will no doubt ibe wit
nessed by a large crowd.
The chairmen of the various committees
are hard at.work getting their final re
ports In shape for the meeting of the ex
ecutive committee on Wednesday.
Everything now points to the success of
the Carnival and great crowds will come
In from all points.

CAMPJPRICE
Looks Deserted Today—Most
of the Soldiers Have
Gone Home.
Camp Price looks deserted today.
AH of the soldiers have departed except
those who were left in charge of the camp.
■Volunteers were called for to have
charge of the camp until the furlough of
the men expired. The number called for
was six men from each company, but many
more than that volunteered and at present
about a hundred men are in camp.
Captain Bell is in charge of the men.
The only duty that they will have to per
form is to guard the camp and see that
none of the government property is remov
ed.
A majority of the soldiers departed Sat
urday as soon as they received their pay,
and all of the outgoing trains were crow
ded. The railroads made a cheap rate for
the soldiers and some provided them with
special cars. They all seemed glad to get
home and took the first trains out.
Still there are a great many soldiers in
the city, and some of them have no homes
to go to and they will probably remain in
Macon until the soldiers are mustered out.
Many of the soldiers returned to camp last
night and asked permission to stay there,
and it is probable that they will remain
there until the return of the regiment, and
they will then apply for admission to the
Third regiment. It is understood that the
Third Georgia has entirely too many men
and that they are ‘being discharged every
day. ,
The soldiers behaved very well on Sat
urday night considering they were paid oft
on that day. Very few’ were arrested.
ADD SOLDIERS
The following special to the Constitu
tion tells of the reception to the Savannah
companies:
Savannah, Ga., Oct. 2 —Three Savannah
companies of the First Georgia regiment
arrived today from Macon under command
of Lieutenant Colonel Jordan F. Brooks
and marched to the regimental armory on
Abercorn street in the face of a violent
gale, which has been blowing over the city
several hours. The boys were encouraged,
however, and felt cheered when the church
bells rung out in honor of their return.
The companies that came are the Repub
lican Blues, the Savannah Cadets and the
Irish Jasper Greens. They are on a thirty
days’ furlough, but they believe they will
be mustered out of the government's ser
vice at the expiration of this time.
At the armory the boys were tendered a
reception which was generally attended,
considering the inclement weather. Colonel
A. R. Lawton came with the men, but he
will return to Macon tomorrow night to
resume command of the regiment. Lieu
tenant Colonel Brooks will remain in Sa
vannah for the present. .
■Brunswick too gave her boys a rousing
welcome this morning if indeed they have
been able to reach the city over the water
bound track a special says:
Brunswick. Ga., Oct. 2 —The citizens of
Brunswick are red hot in enthusiasm about
welcoming the Riflemen on their return
from Camp Price Monday next. The vari
ous committees from the citizens and civic
and military bodies met today and per
fected organization as a committee»of the
whole. Battalion Commander Frank D.
Aiken was elected permanent chairman
and C. W. Deming, secretary and treas
urer. Sergeant Wiggins has arranged for
a spread for the boys when they, reach
Brunswick on Monday morning, and then
the whole town will turn out to meet
them.

IS WORKING WELL.
The New Telephone Switchboard Is a Com
plete Success.
The new telephone switchboard went
into operation Saturday at midnight and
has been working well ever since. Man
ager Weaver is to be congralulated on the
smoothness with which the change was
made and the subscribers ot the system
appreciate 'the vast improvement that has
been made in the working of the whole
system.
A few people are forgetting that the
lever is a thing of the past when they
want to call "Central,” and, as a conse
quence, some of them lost their tempers.
But if every one will remember that all
.that is necessary is to take the hand
phone from the hook and wait for the
voice of the operator, who simply says
"number and then give the number re
quired the result will be very satisfactory.
Macon has now a telephone system that
is equal to 'the best in the country.

morning he saw there were twenty-eight
cases on the docket and he settled himself
down in his chair and proceeded to work.

MERCER ELECTED
HER DEBATERS.
Will Meet the University of
Georgia at an Earlv
Date.
A meeting of the students of Mercer was
! held Saturday afternoon and the challenge
j of the University of Georgia regarding a
i debate was discussed. It was finally de
i cided to accept the challenge and the
f students proceeded to elect their represen
; tatives.
Thre of the best debaters in the college
were selected— H. F. Lawson, Walter T.
George and Markus Bolding.
At the last debate, which was held in
Atlanta in May, the Orange and Black
triumphed over the red and black, and
i the Athens boys are sore over their defeat.
News comes from Athens that the college
there have already elected its debaters
and the men are busy on their speeches.
The time of holding the debate and the
subject has not yet been decided upon, but
it will be done as soon as Athens is heard
from.
It is understood that Athens has some
strong men this year, but the Mercer boys
claim that tney have nothing to fear.
The state oratorical contest will come
off in Atlanta this month and Mercer will
be represented by Mr. Moncrief. He will,
I no doubt take care of Mercer’s interests,
j Mercer is already fatuous for her orators,
i and in the coming contests will no doubt
I sustain .her reputation.
The election for ■anniversar.ion for the
Ciceronian Society will come off Saturday.
So far only one candidate is in the field,
but two more are expected to enter before
the election is held and the race promises
to be very interesting.
The Y. M. C. A. is doing good work this
year, and at the meeting Friday steps were
taken to put up a splendid gymnasium. It
is proposed to equip the gymnasium Xvith
the latest improved fixtures. Mercer Is ]
improving each year and so is the college I
spirit of her students and it will not be I
long before the college will rank as one of
the foremost in the country.

The word “NEW” carries more weight with shrewd buyers of wearing apparel
than the much abused term “Bargains.” We’re in business to .sell merchandise for
just its value. That's cheap enough for anybody. You can’t reasonably expect
more than your money’s worth. “Charity shops" are not in vogue. Wo can give
J
l you full measure for every dollar. You can pick from our assortment of NEW
, CLOTHING, FURNISHINGS and HATS at no greater cost than for a selection from
the old and new styles and good and bad qualities always found together in a car
ried over stock. Try it and see. Make the test Monday or whenever you are ready
to buy anything In the line of CLOTHING. FURNISHINGS and HATS. You are
sure to get the correct stylos here. You’re sure to get the reliable qualities and,
again we say it, you’re sure to get your money’s worth.
Bring Your Periodical Tickets.
