MANY GREAT FEATURES
Are in Store for the Visitors—Every
thing is Now in Readiness for
the Great Jubilee.
rtf final meeting of the executive com- |
m: t:oe of the Macon Carnival Association
wu3 held la*t night and the affairs of the
<ar<ii*al as far as 'possible were* put in
condition for the opening.
All of the committers reported that their
matter* were in good condition and that
ih»y are about ready for the openmg on
Tur .‘■•day.
The executive committee will not meet
as a whole until the Carnival is ever. A
fcub-committee consisting cf Messrs. E. A.
Waxclbaura, Ellis Taibott and G. C. Mat
way appointed to look after ail mat
t'that n::ght come up for the attention
of the executive committee while the carni
val is going on.
As a number of passes have been lost,
the executive committee requests that all
of those holding pass-* will present them to
i ?cretary to have them countersigned.
No passes will be valid unless so counter
signed.
All persons who have horses and teams
i' nt luring the carnival are requested
to apply to Mr. Beneon at Benson <fc
Houser’s.
The Carnival, given in honor of the
e* venty-fifth anniversary o' the city cf
Macon and the termination of the war
w; h Spain, is almost upon the city. At !
Ehis time next week the Carnival v\iil be j
’ii its Z'-nith. The outside world has
recognized the fact that Macon has pro
posed a celebration which will be well
worth feeing, and from all reports the
' > will baruiy have sufficient accommo
dation for the crowds that are coming.
ihie Carnival has been advertised from
the mountains to the sea by a party sent I
out especially for that purpose. Neither
advertising, and on all sides can be tetn
t v- ‘ posters of the Diamond Jubilee.
The celebration is gotten up entirely
tbrough efforts of Macon people, and that
fact alone is a sure signal of success. The
glories of the Carnival are too numerous
to mention, but among the numerous at
tractions it is necessary to give a few.
Pain’s fireworks, during which the bat
tle of Manila will be represented, will
probably draw the largest crowds. This
feature alone is worth coming miles to
etc.
The floral parade, in which ajl of the
best people of the state will be represented
’k another great feature. The gorgeous
“War and Peace" spectacle will be one
of th u grandest sights ever witnessed in
the South.
The great living flag, in which 1.200
school children will be represented, has
already attracted the attention of the
North, and it rremmes to be one of the
prettiest sights of the Carnival. The chil
dren will meet this afternoon at the plat
form which was erected for the purpose
and will begin practicing the drill. All
of the boys who take part will wear red,
v.'rile the girls will wear blue. The chil
dren will stng the national anthem
and other -vitriolic airs. They will be
practiced every day until the time for the
exercises to take mace on Fridav at 10
o’cl ek.
Tb. board of education will hold its
regular ir< ei'.ng Monday night and will
c 1 rtder the »u stl n of giving th< chil-
J} h holiday while the Carnival is on.

PRIVATE BUFORD.
_
Young Soldier Who Died at Camp Price We!!
Thought Os.
_—
The following is what the Savannah
Press has to say of the young man who
'lied in the hospital here last -week:
A telegram was received in Pooler this
morning from -Macon announcing the
death of Willie Buford in the hospital at
that place. Mr. Buford enlisted with the
! Blues of Savannah shortly after the break
ing out of the war between Spain and the
United States and first went into camp
|at Griffin. He has been with that com
pany, which was a part of the First
I Georgia regiment, since that time, and it
j is particularly sad that his death should
come to this moment when his comrades
| are returning to their homes from their
| trying experiences in camp. He was only
1 about 18 years of age and was a nephew
of Mrs. Buford cf Pooler, who is well and
; favorably known for her many charitable
| acts.
His many friends in Pooler and Savan
nah were deeply grieved to learn of his
i untimely death. He was a young man of
I quiet and weli-ibehaved manners and had
; endeared himself to a large circle of
friends.

DuBIGNON
Has Something to Say About
the Election.
Special to The News.
Atlanta, Oct. 6 —Hon. F. G. dußignon,
chairman cf the Etate Democratic execu
tive committee, reached the city last night,
having voted rn Savannah yesterday morn
ing as soon as the polls opened, and ar
riving in Atlanta at 7:30. He said he was
particularly gratified upon his arrival to
receive a dispatch from Savannah stating
that Colonel Candler had carried the coun
ty by 2.050 votes. Hogan only receiving
six votes in the county.
Mr. duEignon said, speaking of the cam
| paign generally, that he was of course not
| surprised at the result and that while the
| majority was most gratifying it was not
nearly so much as it would have been but
for the apathy that pervaded the state,
every one being sure of the result in ad
vance. Had the attention of the people
not been distracted by the war, and their
interest abated by the certainty of the re
j suit. Colonel Candler’s majority and that
! of the entire state ticket would have loser
over 100,C00. He stated that, he was par
ticularly gratified that so many of the
counties that had heretofore been regarded
as irredeemably populistic had been re
j claimed for the Democratic party by such
j a handsome vote.
Baldwin county, which is Mr. dußignon’s
: native county, gives Colonel Candler a
majority cf 300. and elects a Democratic
rtperesentative for the first time in six
years.
Mr. dußignon regards the result as the
! annihilation of the Populist party in the
j state, and he does not believe, ft will ever
again make a fight in the state. He said
his connection with the campaign had been
exceedingly pleasant, and while it had im
| posed upon him a great many duties, he
: T 'as glad to say that there had been no
f: lotion whatever in the management of
the campaign. and nothing to excite re
gret. He stated that the campaign had
men conducted upon a high plane, that no
i abuse of any one had been indulged in;
: no inflammatory appeals made, and that
h.s only effort, and that of his associates
in its conduct, had been to arouse the in
terest cf the people and to obtain their
, clear and unclouded judgment at the noils.
; ’Tact the result leaves the white people of
Georgia practically united, - and he was
glad to say that many of the best and most
conservative colored people had voted the
straight Democratic ticket. That they had
. me so, too. from proper motives, because
there had been no money used in the- cam
paign. that aside from the payment of
•. Ic-rk hire and such printing as was done,
no money had been expended. That the
• us< ; by the state nim.it
e*: -if conduct of "he campaign was
: ' rfc&t • result of "be
state eh tlon insured a solid delegation
y e n ' x - cc-rgress. and placed, the party
L. Gco.g.a m better condition than it had
beer, in years.
