ESTABLISHED 1884 THE PEOPLE MOE THE COMPBISE IDEA The News' Suggestion for Preventing a Demoralizing Prohibi tion Fight Meets With Overwhelming Approval. TEMPERANCE And Properly Restricted Traf fic Better Than Pro hibition. 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. MR. DEITZ DYING. Grand Secretary of Odd Fellows May Not Live Through the Night, It is reported this afternoon that Mr. ' John G. Deitz, grand secretary of th<w Odd I Fellows of Georgia, is sinking rapidly. It i is thought that he cannot possibly live I through the night. Mr. Deitz is 76 years I of age. and suffered a stroke of paralysis a few days ago. 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. IN MICHIGAN.

MACON NEWS WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 26 1898. PARIS IS I QUIETER TODAY j Eveidence of Suppressed Ex citement, but the Citi zens Are Quiet. FAURE GIVES AUDIENCE g To the New President of the Senate and the President of the Cham ber of Deputies. By Associated Press. Paris, Oct. 26 —Although there is evi dence of suppressed excitement on all 3 sides here there has been no disturbance i of public order today. The police and . municipal guards are out in strong force r and will not permit the crowds to as sume a dangerous strength but the situa tion is eagerly discussed by excited 1 groups in the main streets. 1 President Faure this morning received 1 an audience from Senator Loubet, presi- > dent of the senate, and M. Deschanel, s president of the chamber of deputies. LET ON STREETS OF 'PARIS Follow. f ON PARIS STREETS. > 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.” r ’ " s GOOD THINGS GO FAST. 1 j Those $1.50 Manhattan shirts we are 1 selling at SI.OO are going rapidly. Clem Phillips.
