VOLUNTARY EXPRESSIONS
Os Opinion from Many of Macon’s
Best Citizens- The Fight Can
Be Stopped if the Right
Sort of Effort is Made.
The editorial In yesterday's News ap
pealing for a compromise In the present
prohibition contewt has met with over
whelming approval among the conserva
tive. business people of the city.
From expressions heard on every hand
today It would seem that no more timely
or popular suggestion was ever made, and
I’t is believed a well directed effort, if made
at once, would result, in stopping the fight.
Kcores of expressions have come to the
News over the ’phone during the morning,
and in each Instance they have been hearty
and unequivocal.
The conservative people of the conimun- ;
I'ty are opposed to a prohibition contest,
at this time. They helieye a better solu
tion of the liquor problem can be found
with less trouble. They are disposed to do
everything possible to promote harmony
and bring als.ut a compromise.
The suggestion made by the News was
as follows:
INSTBMt OF INAUGURATING A
HEATED PROHIBITION CONTEST IN
8188 COUNTY \T THIS TIME. LET
THE ANTI-PROHIBITIONISTS AGREE
TO A FURTHER INCREASE OF THE
CITY LICENSE. SAY $750 OR $1,000;
.LET THE SALE OF LIQUOR BE CON- J
FINED TO THE FIRE LIMITS OF THE I
CITY; LET AN ORDINANCE BE PASS
ED DOING AWAY WITH SCREEN’S
AND REQUIRING ALL SALOONS TO
CLOSE AT AN EARLIER HOUR—SAY - !
EITHER 10 OR II O'CLOCK.
The News invited expressions of opinion 1
fn.iu partisans as well us conservatives, I
and it prints below expressions from pro- i
hlbii ionlsts and anti-prohibitionists, tus ,
weil as conservatives. So far they are all
one way -in favor of a compromise.
Os course, Tile News expects 'to find ex
tremists on both sides who will not lie
ten to a compromise- but enough has been
heard to indicate thaX a compromise meas
ure >vouhl meet 'With the overwhelming
endorsement. of the people of Bibb counit.
The expressions printed below are but
a few of those received during the morn
ing and most of these are voluntary:
Air. T. D. Tinsley said: “I approve the
suggestion of The News and believe it to
be on the right Hue. If a heated tontest
can bo avoided by the passage and en
forcement of stringent daws it seems to
me desirable.”
Mr. G. A. Smith: ”1 heartily approve of
the suggestion in The News yesterday.”
Mr. T. C. Parker: "1 am a prohibition
ist, but I think the suggestion in The
News a capital idea and would like to see
it carried out.”
Mr. E. A. Waxelbaum: ‘‘l am heartily
in favor of the proposition suggested in
The News. It Is as fair as anything could
possibly be and I can see no reason why
the prohibitionists should not be willing to
agree to those terms. I don’t won't to see
Macon become a descried village."
Col. J. W. Preston, who is in favor of
prohibition, said: “if any compromise is
to be made at all there is none more sen-
Dr. T. A. Cheatham “1 think the Nows I
is right. If they would follow the idea
Bible than that made by The News.”
suggested by The News I thing it would
prove satisfactory to all parties. I am sure
the sahxm men will agree to this and I
can see no reason why the prohibitionists
should not.”
•Major W. H. Ross: "I thick The News \
Is perfectly right and its suggestion is ex- i
actly my idea. I am against prohibition, I
but 1 would be willing to submit to that i
proposition. J»- , I do not think that the i
prohibition ’ jwill accept the proposition I
and it whi .Ve necessary to have the elec
tion and show them what we can do.”
Mr. A. R. Fre< man: “I am in favor of j
a cotiu'txuuise.”
Mr. Ellis Talbott: “I think that the Id. a ;
suggested by The News is an excellent one 1
and will be better than a fignt.”
Mr. Robert Hazlehurst: "I am in favor
of 'high license, as suggested."
Mr. S. R. Jaques: “I am very mucn in j
favor of a compromise and think it vary i
unfortunate and disastrous to the business i
interests of the city to bring on the con
test at this time.”
■Mr. Jake Heard: “I am very much in I
favor of The News' suggestion and think I
that a compromise will be a good thing.”
Ex-Mayor Henry Horne: "By all means
bring about such a compromise and stop
the fight. The prohibitionists will lose,
but why go through a healed, demoraliz
ing fight when it can be avoided and a
better result secured? If The News will
call a meeting of the citizens its plan wil|
be overwhelmingly endorsed and carried
out.”
Mr. Theo. W. Ellis: “I am a temper
ance nsan and I do not care to vote for
liquor; yet I am not a prohibitionist. The
News' proposition offers something tan
gible. I believe it will do more to promote
temperance than will prohibition. There
fore, I favor it, and 1 believe if the mayor
and council will give their approval to
such a plan of compromise the fight can
be stopped, and the very best adjustment.
o’ the problem that is possible secured.
Dr. Young: "A compromise wou'd be
best. Anything to stop this tjgat. I don't
■want to see gross growing in the middle
of Oherry street”
Judge A. R. Freeman: “I agr-e with The
News. It would be better to cempromi-3
the matter and avoid a fight if possible,
but I am afraid some of the prothibition-
I Dis are determined ‘to have the fight in
■ zjrite of everything.”
Aiderman Coodwyn: "I want to see the
; fight Mopped and I believe the plan sug
i g«»t>d by The News is the best one.”
Several of the bankers were seen in re
| gard to th question, but none of them
I would talk. They said they had patrons
among both prohibitionists and anti- pro
hibitionists and they preferred to remain
on e fence.
DR. LEE APOLOGIZED
To the Mayors of Savannah and Augusta for
His Statements.
About one thousand negroes were pres
ent. in the prohibition tent last night and
twice that, number of white people.
I Tlie colored choir of the First 'Baptist
church furnished the music.
Dr. Lee started, the ball rolling by mak
ing an apology for stating that the mayor
of Augusta acted disgracefully here during
the Carnival. He said that he had been
misinformed, and that he was exceedingly
sorry tha' he had made the statement. (He
said that nothing gave him more pleasure
than to apologize when he was wrong.
He had the apology written out and said
that he would forward a copy to each of
the gentlemen today. After he had con
cluded his apology he asked if any of the
colored people were present at the meet
ing of the liquor men, which was held in
the basement of one of the stores on Cot
ton avenue on the previous night. One of
the negroes applied in the affirmative and
the doctor proceeded to question him in
regard to the meeting. He asked if the
liquor men did not promise to pay the
taxes of the negroes if they would vote
the anti-prohibition ticket. The negro re
| plied that they promised to pay the taxes
of five years back if they would vote with
them.
Dr. Lee stated that he would introduce
to the audience another Mr. Lee, pastor
of one of the colored churches. The pastor
came forward and delivered an address
upon the whisky question.
Several other of the colored ministers
also addressed the audience.
On Friday night Col. N. E. Harris and
Mr. ('. A. Turner will deliver addresses
on the prohibition question.

TOMORROW NIGHT.
Warde, James and Katherine Kidder in
School for Scandal.
There is a coincidence in some phases
of the similarity of the roles in .which
Kathryn Kidder has made her greatest
success.
Every one remembers her remarkable
creation of the Parisian blauchisseuse who
rose to the point of twitting the Emperor
Napol.on. There is something of 'Madame
.Snus-Gene in the character of Lady
Teazle in “The School for Scandal” in
which Miss Kidder has more than equaled
her preceding great triumph. Lady Teazle
is the wife of a rich society man of the
last century. She is a girl in years, her
home was in the country, she had never
known luxury beyond one silk gown, yet
when she became Lady Teazle she accus
tomed herielf to circumstances, in other
words, she rose to the situation, in a
thoroughly adequate manner. In telling
of it Sir Peter says. “Yet she now plays
her nart in all the extravagant fopperies
of ashion and the town, with as ready a
grace as if she never had seen a bush or a
grass-plot out Os Grosvenor Square!” She
carries things with a high hand. She de
mands attention from her antique spouse
and from the young beaux as well, she
squanders his fortune, she contradicts all
his humors, they tift a Tittle going to
i church and quarrel before the bells have
done ringing, but Sir Peter—bears it be
cause he loves her. and he loves her be
cause she is the most volatile, irresponsi
ble. domineering, winsome minxes in the
world. It is small wonder that the creator
of Madame Sans-Gene fits into Lady
Teazle as if the role were made for her.

Chicago, Oct. 26.—A wintry storm,which

The force of the storm was felt as far
south as the Gulf of Mexico.
Its effects at different points were varied

snow and soon a genuine blizzard was
raging in those parts of the country.
When the snow started the velocity of

change in temperature was so rapid as to
be almost dangerous to health. The great

t Reminders of the Opening Days of the Great
5 Revolution.
By (Associated Press.
New York, Oct. 26 —The Herald’s Paris
dispatches describing the street scense at
tending the overthrow of the (Brisson min
stry says:
■ First of all the socialists arranged to
hold a demonstration on the place De La
Concorde. Paul de Roulede, who has a
monopoly of patriotism in France, took
this as a challenge. He accordingly gave
> his particulare believers a rendezvous at
1 the same place and the same hour.
t Seeing that a fight was inevitable if the
i two parties met, the prefect of police
made his plans to disperse both groups.
T At every point were Strong detachments
f of police and municipal guards and before
. the autumobile club the ministry of the
T Marine and the big gate of the Tuileries
> were stationed companies of foot repub
r lican guards. Large reserve forces were
posted In several parts, in addition to
bodies of Cuirassiers and mounted munici
pal guards patrolled the square in every
direction.
As 2 o'clock drew near groups of people
began to gather. They were not inter
fered with at .first. There were no fights
or disturbances for a time. The people
seemed to have gathered more to see a
spectacle than anything else. The first
' manifestation was provoked by the ar
' rival of Paul De Roulede in a carriage.
When the vehicle reached the middle of
f the place De La Concorde it was sur
f rounded by a shrieking, gesticulating
- crowd and cries of “Vive L’ lArmee.” M.
■ De Roulede made a sort of triumphal pro
-1 cession, standing up in the carriage and
f waving his long arms and hys
terically, "Vive L’ Armee.”
Police Powerless.
The police were powerless to keep back
the crowd. When the entrance to the
place De La Concorde was reached, how
ever, the cavalry succeeded in turning
- the crowd and driving it back.
At this moment M. Lucren (Millevoye,
editor of the Patrie, and one of the loudest
patriots in France, came up on foot with
ladies and and another deputy, a pro
nounced anti-semite. M. Millevoye was
- wearing his deputies scarf not as a mark
; of ostentation or to attract attention but
simply in order to pass unnoticed.
He was disappointed. No sooner was his
- tall figure seen draped with the red, white
- and blue sash than a howl went up, “Vive
a L’ Armee,” “Vive La 'France,” “Vive La
i Republique,” volleyed out along his path,
s .Again the police ware overpowered and
- out maneuvered. The prefect, had issued
t a proclamation last night threatening with
’ instant arrest any one who cried down
s with any institution. No provision had
1 been made for those who might shout
“long live” a particular thing they fancied
so the agents were rather non-pulsed.
A Bas les Juifs.
Then a diversion was effected by the
approach of Edouard Drumont, editor of
La Libre Parole and probably the worst
sufferer from semitophobia in the whole
world. Nearer and nearer swept the roar
■ of “a bas les Juifs’ swelling in volume as
? it rolled along.
It was a proud moment for M. Drumont.
! He could, not contain his emotion while
' seated. In his passion for law and order,
5 he forgot that the cry “a bas” anything
k was forbidden. Standing up in his carriage
s he yelled himself hoarse with “a bas les
Juifs,” “Vive L’ Armee.”
1 Finally all the deputies were inside the
• palace Bourbon, while the crowd on the
outerside of the place De La Concorde was
1 getting bigger and bigger as time went
• on. All along the Rue Royale the side-
■ walks and the middle of the streets were
crowded with a surging masse of people
> good tempered enough as yet; still, with
■ so much vital nervous energy massed to-
• gether an outbreak was possible if not
even probable. Again and again the place
• De La Concorde was swept clear by mount
ed troops. They harrassed and broke up
■ the scattered crowd and naturally enough
more and more people were driven into
the Rue Royale. The steps in front of the
Madeline were black with people and
sightseers covered every inch of the ter
race surrounding the church. Every win
dow along both sides of the streets was
( filled with heads, every chair and table in
’ the cases was occupied.
Good Humor Gone.
A cabman who drove slowly by had the
idea to cry, ‘ »'ive Brisson,” immediately
his vehicle was stormed and himself
> roughly handled. Jules Guerin, of the
. Libre Parole and M. Marrat, another anti
i Semite got up a sort of side manifestation
. around one of the fountains in the place
De La Concorde.
Cries of “Vive L’ Armee,” “a bas Juifs”
rang out. M. Leproust, police commis
sary, strode forward to arrest one of the
crowd who yelled, “mort aux Juifs.” The
0 anti-semites at once fell upon the poor
commissary and rained a shower of blows
upon him with their sticks. Le Temps
says:
“They even threw him down and kick
c ed him in the face. A gentleman in an
r open carriage threatening his way across
1 the square jumped down and got the
bleeding man into his conveyance The
i crowd then tried to upset it, when M.
t Blanc, prefect of police and M. Laurent,
f general secretary to the director of the
B municipal police arrived on the scene,
s Several of the aggressors seemed to think
they had quite explained and justified the
matter when they told M. Blanc that M.
Leproust was the same juif who had cried
“a bas La France.”
