in Favor of Ocmulgee
Park Site.
100 MUCH WATER

of Men Who Are Left—Regi
ment May Be Retained.
Camp Price- will be do- rted entirely in
■ i f- '.v day». It the intention of Col.
Lawton to move the ramp at once, but lie
;..i :;■;t given out what, time the removal
will tuk< place. ll< barf had the matter
of i.-.moving he cacnp under considera
;.'n for several dayt* but has kept it
rath. r Quiet.
It is .stated on froc’d authority, however,
i. it the camp will be removed from the
park. !: will not be carried away from
Ma on, hov/i ver, but it will be carried to
Oemulgfr park, about three miles out of
the city. A pr. tty place has been selected
for the camp there and the elevation is
mu h high.-r titan the one now occupied
bv the soldier?.
Dr. Garrard, tin surgeon, .stated last
•night that h.- thought that the location
a; Ocmulgee park was much better than
to oru- now occupied. About one hun
drt 1 men are in camp at the park and
-since river 'has flooded a portion of
tin caniji iCol. Lawton has grown uneasy
it, regard ; > tlu- health of his men and
thinks that it is bn-t to move the camp.
This information will take the city by
.sutpri.se a.*; the people were under the im
pression (Sat the camp grounds at the
■park wen as healthy as could be. The
nco: 1 of t'-p camp is excellent. Ray’s
ittamums were camped there for five
wet ks and not a death occurred, an 1 up to
date only one soldier has died at the camp
and v the Illness was contracted at
Knoxville. The soldiers who are now in
'the It i.- pital were 'all ill before being
brought ht re.
The spot which has been selected for the
< .nip at Ocmulgee park i 3 very pretty and
t- 1 an excellent site for a camp. It is on
otn- of the highest. Toca-ticns around the
city, and il also a very healthy place.
The camp will nor be removed from Ma
« -a,and it will be in easy access of the city
•.ml the soldiers can come in to the city
o much as ever. The only reason for re
moval is that the aide at the park Is too
law tit this st a son of the year. Col. Law
■ron a strong believer in good camps
-ad his ( imps are always i*» perfect sani
tary condition.
It is not* known vet j; st whe i the re
ro val \i 11 take pi ice, laur it is thought
h D ir will begin torn .’-row or Saturday,
t • ■ of the officers of the regiment said
night that he had strong reasons to
1" Hove that the regiment would be held
in its return here and this was the main
i'i asen that .the camp was being removed.
If the regiment is ordered to continue in
Iht service it will have to be recruited
a‘.'a in as nearly three hundred men have
•h• > n given their discharges. The removal
of the camp will not occupy over two
days as only the tents will have to be re
nt veil and this is easily done. It is not
known how the equipments will be car
ri( i to the new camp, but M- is thought
•that wagons will he used. It is possible
’hat they might be sent on the train, how-'
ever. *
("ok Lawton has been very busy gince
Ms return from Savannah looking for a
camp site and it took some time to select

Judge Freeman was surprised this
morning when looked on the docket and
found that only one arrest had been made
n 24 hours. He called the court to order
and immediately called for the’ offender,
who proved to bo Georgia Warren, a ne
gro woman, who is a frequent occupant
of the police station.
bht was charged with disorderly con
duct. She pleaded not guilty, and de
clared to the judge that she had not done
anything. The judge seemed t.o doubt her
statement, however, as he imposed a fine
fine of $5 and said “the court is hereby
adjourned until tomorrow morning at the
usual time.”
The city seems to be on good behavior
again.as Patrolman Hamilton was the only
officer who was fortunate enough to make
vin arrest.

MINSTRELS.
One of the Big Attractions of
Carnival.
Th° following from the Louisville
Courier Journal is an earnest of what may
be expected at the Academy next week:
A1 G. Field, his battalion of merry
makers and a whole lot. or us had a rol
licking. melodious and uproarious time at
Macauley’s theater last night. A1 Field snd
L-ouisville are long-time cronies, and when
they get together they take up all of the
time and most cf the space. From the el
bow of the orchestra to the .outskirts of
the gallery Field’s friends and others seek
ing an introduction were crowded together
in a (buzzing array of good nature.
It was the opening of Macauley’s for the
year and it was a good starter. The Field
greater minstrel aggregation retains all
the things that are too good to grow tire
some, and all the new’ that come along and
then more. From 8:15 to 11 o’clock, with
out a break, the lively program goes on.
Most of the time it comes double, because
the encores are boistorious and persistent
and Field’s people are never surly and al
ways resourceful.
It began with a patriotic picture, count
on Filed to be up to date. The handsome,
finished and entertaining “middle,” Dan
Quinlan, always picturesque and costumed
like a prince, with the voice of an orator
and the ease.of an actor, was in the thick
or a magnificent picture of “all nations” at
the start. Then came the music and the
antics, the dancing and jokes, all that
with Field and Tommy Donnelly in funny
shindies: solos, the singing contingent—
everything from an opera to a circus.
An absurdity, “In Cuba,” gives Field a
play on his-negro sketches and at the same
time keeps up with the war procession.
New features are Gruett, Beers and
Gruett, a pantomine knock-about, alto
gether original; Lelliott, Brush and Lel
liott, in fantastic and finished music on
violin, horn and bells; Everhart, the jug
gler, i and the famous Faust family, from
manhood to nearly Ibabyhood, in extraordi
nary athletics. The closing is an elabo
rate pantomine. silhouette on a white cur
tain, which is both new and full of hilar
ity.
Doc Quigley’s electric dancing, the sing
ing of Reese Prosser, Harry Sheldon, John
C. Dickens and the Field “Singing Con
tingent" are all remembered in the irutl
titude that come from the stage. The Field
minstrels are stronger than any other com
bination of its kind known to*the country.
TOMORROW NIGHT
Young Men’s Christian Association Will
Open New Home.
The Young Men’s Christian Association,
having recently moved ’in their own
building at the corner of First and Cherry
streets, will celebrate their good fortune
tomorrow night by having an “Opening

during the evening. The orchestra of the
Blind Academy has kindly consented to
furnish the music for the occasion and a
various program of vocal solos, duets and
ether music will be rendered at intervals
during the evening. The affair will be in
formal and everybody interested in the
Assoiation and its welfare is cordially in
vited to call at any time during the even
ing and stay as long as they please.

will meet this afternoon at -the hall and

CONGRESSIONAL
COMES HHT
Election Will Be Held on the
Eighth Dav of No
vember.
REGISTRATION 800 KS
Are Still Open and Will Remain So
Until the Eighteenth of
this Month.
The registration books are still open for
the registration of voters for the Novem
ber election which will occur on the Sth of
November, for the election of members of
congress.
Under the law any person who desires
to vote for congressmen who has not reg
istered already can do so now And up to
and including October ISth instant.
All persons who have registered for any
state or county election since January Ist
will be entitled to vote, and all those who
registered until the- 18th will also be en
titled to vote in November for congress
man, and in any other election held prior
to January T, 1899.
It is to be hoped that the registration
will be largely increased so as to ensure
a better vote for Congressman Bartlett
from this county than was given in the
election yesterday.
While of course the return of the con
gressman will be practically unanirrfis,
his friends are anxious, ,that his home
county should lead in tiffif is cast
in the district. iT L
For this reason a special. effort will be
made to make his vote as large as possible
and unless the registration is increased it
is not probable that this can be done.

Gentlemen : I commenced taking P.
P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, last
Fall, for Erysipelas. My face was com
pletely covered with the disease ; I took
a short course of P. P. P., and it soon
disappeared. This Spring I became
much debilitated and again took an
other course, and I am now in good
condition. I consider P. P. P. ono of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a gen
eral tonic to build up the Byst«m and
improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
cares to try P. P. P. will not be disap
pointed in. fts results, and I, therefore*
cheerfully recommend it.
