TROOPS COMING
111 HOWER
It is Thought that the Camp
Will Be Established at
that Time.
I'M COLORED REGIMENTS.
Second Brigade is Made Up of Ne
groes—Preparations at the
Camp Ground.
The time of the arrival of the troops
in Macon has not yet been set. It
thought probable, however, that they will
leave about the first week in November.
'j sc of the regiments booked tor Macon
an- made up of negroes—the Seventh
United States Volunteers and the Tenth.
Ihe Sixth Virginia is also a colored
reg-men t.
The • stablishmbent of corps and divi
sion headquarters is a big thing and al
together the coming of the troops here
means a large expenditure of money here.
As was announced in yesterday News
Macon will have a large encampment of
soldiers here throughout the winter. .Over
seven thousand men will be stationed here
permanently and it will .prove of great
benefit to the city. The coming of the
troops here means much to the city. With
th ■ soldiers will come a large amount of
money and they will naturally turn it
loose here.
The fact that the city will have the
corps headquarters is indeed a great thing.
With the commanding officer are a number
cf staff officers and there is also the divis
ion headquarters which are to be estab
lished here.
There will probably be over four hun
dred officers with both headquarters and
besides the regular officers of the army
and they will of course make the city more
lively.
Prciainent citizens who were seen yes
terday afternoon said that the coming of
the troops would be a great beneifit to the
city. When The News made its appearance
yesterday afternoon everybody was anx
ious to see it. The news that the soldiers
wire coming was hailed with delight and
tViiybody seemed happy.
Preparations have already begun toward
fixing up the camp and the city will give
the soldiers anything they want. Re
c ivtr Tinsley of the Macon Gas 'Light and
Water Company said yesterday afternoon
that he would tap the water mains as soon
as the camp ground was selected and that
he would have the camps supplied with
.water at once. In speaking of the matter
he said:
“The coming of the soldiers means much
to Macon. It will be a great help to the
city. It will cause about SIO,OOO to be spent
which otherwise would have never reached
the city. You can say that there will be
a dollar spent every day for every soldier
that is brought here and of course the of
ficers will spend more.”
“The city will do everything in its power
to make the men comfortable Whtn they
arrive. The camp will be well supplied
with water and it will also be lighted with
electricity.”
The locating cf the soldiers here is due
mainly to the efforts of Senator Bacon and
Congressman Bartlett, who have worked
very hard for the city and has finally met
with success. Two divisions of troops will
be stationed here which will probably he
about eight thousand men. The camp will
be located out near Oemulgee park on the
property of the Oemulgee Land Company.
Ther is no healthier or prettier site in the
whole country. There is ample space for a
ground for all of the brigades and there is
room to camp a whole corps if necessary.
The Macon and Indian Spring Electric
Light Company will have cars running to
the camp every ten minutes and it is sup
posed that there will be dress parades
• very afternoon. Macon has always ac
corded a warm welcome and the city of
ficials and citizens will co-operate in mak
ing the men who are sent 1 here enjoy
themselves. Ail of the soldiers who have
ever been camped here or who have passed
through have alwa’ys spoken well of the
city and the ones that are coming will no
doubt da the same. •
When. th<^soldiers are paid off alb of
them come to town and their money goes
like the wind.
The following regiments will be station
id at Macon: Second Brigade consisting of
the United States volunteers. Second
Ohio and Sixth Virginia.
Third Brigade consisting of the follow
ing regiments: Tenth United States vol
unteers and the Seventh United States vol
unteers.
Tais means that Macon will have five
regiments. They will all be under com
mand of General .Breckinridge. He will
have his headquarters here.
The camps of five regiments will occupy
a large portion of ground and the spot
when occupied by the tents of the regi
ments will present a pretty appearance.
A Narrow Escape.
Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada B.
Hart, of Groton, S. D., ‘‘Was taken with a
bad cold which settled on mylungs: cough
set in and finally terminated in consump
tion. Four doctors gave me up, saying I
could live but a short time. I gave myself
up to my savior, determined if I could
not stay with my friends on earth I would
meet my absent ones above. My husband
was advised to get Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds.
I gave it a trial; took in all eight bottles.
It has cured me and thank God I am
saved and am now a well and healthy
woman.” Trial bottles free at H. J. La

SAXTON’S MURDER.
President Himself Broke News
‘o Mrs. McKin'ev.
• <
By Associated Press.
Cincinnati, 0., Oct. 8. —A Washington
special to the Enquirer says:
“When the news of the murder of George
Saxton, Mrs. .McKinley’s brother, reached
the White House. President and. Mrs. Mc-
Kinley had just come down stairs to re
ceive the members of the Episcopal con
vention. There was a hurried conference
as to how to convey the tidings to Mrs. Mc-
Kinley and it was finally -decided to wait
until the guests had departed.
The president was called aside as the
last guest bade him good night, and shown
a brief dispatch from Canton, saying that
George Saxton was killed. The president
tenderly escorted Mrs. McKinley to the up
per part of the house and there, as gently
as circumstances would permit, broke the
news to her. Mrs. McKinley, although at
first stunned, bore up remarkably well. She
expressed a desire for particulars and the
president at once had telephonic connec
tion made with friends in Canton with
whom he talked personally for some time.
All the officials around the whitehouse,
respecting the wishes of the president, are
naturally reticent about the affair. The
only announcement made official is that
the president has received confirmation of
the death of Mr. Saxton and that he will
go with Mrs. McKinley to Canton. Sec
retary Porter further stated that the pres
ident would keep bis public engagements
iu connection with the Western trip, the
only change being that he would go from
Canton Sunday night instead of leaving
here Monday morning as originally in
tended.
