2 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.

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.
