MAYOR PRICE
WftMMONY
Resolution Introduced bv Him
Last Night at Meeting
of Council
TO THE PROHIBITIONISTS.
He Points Out that the Fight Being
Brought on at this Time Will
Tear the Town to Pieces.
The city fatheni held their regular nee-
Blon )a««t night and nothing of any im
portance came up except the ordinance in
troduced by the mayor addressed to the
prohibitionists asking them to call off
the election.
The Athens football team was given the
u«- of the baseball park for a football
game on November 12 and the chairman of
the board of public works was instructed
to have the grounds put in condition at
once.
After the reports of the committees the
mayor introduced the following resolu
tion which was passed by the council,
with the exception of Aiderman Gibson,
who voted "no.”
"Whereas, seldom in the history of Ma
oon have the people of the city, and of tho
county, been closer together for the up
building of Macon, as evidenced by the
unanimous action in the effort to secure
a military encampment, and aleo by the
recent carnival when every citizen, irre
epfctlvo of race or condition, put his
shoulder to the wheel, making it result in
such a success as to bring about a uni
versal admiration and rejoicing; and
"Whereas, in the midst of this rejoicing
and good feeling, at a time when per
sonal difference® were cant to the winds,
and when every good citizen was looking
forward ’to the near return of a prosper
ous business made dormant by the war, a
call hae been made for a prohibition fight,
a fight that, is necessarily, because of its
character, makes bitter enemies of friends
and turns loose the tongue of slander,
abuse and vituperation from which tho
most innocent Is not exempt, and a fight
■that means strife, bittiness and an In
evitable stagnation of business.
"Whereas. 'Macon is known to be one of
tho most orderly cities in the country,
with the liquor traffic under good control,
with a licence sufficiently high to reduce
•the number of saloons 30 per cent, from
former years, and still further, year by
year, diminishing the number; and, as
every commercial Interest in the city will
unquestionably suffer by such stirring up
of strife and the bitterness incident to
such elections; and
"Whereas, such a movement is op
posed by the great majority of our busi
ness men property owners, and all peace
loving citizens, who look with feelings of
dread to the coming of scenes around the
polls that must necessarily be enacted at
an election of this kind; therefore ibe it
"Resolved, That In the name of our fair
city. In the name of peace and good-will
among men, In the 'name of good order, in
the name of every business interest, of
every effort to upbuild our city and in all
sincerity, the leaders of the proposed
movement be and are hereby requested to
withdraw said application and unite in
one grand universal movement to push
Macon foreward to her place among the
foremost and most progressive cities of
the land, a position readily and easily at
tained by a united people, and which can
never be secured by a people divided, dis
rupted and demoralized by a campaign
fraught with discord, slander and abuse.
"Resolved further. That this appeal is
made direct to the leaders of the move
ment in the hope that they will consider
1t as one made in all sincerity-to bring
about a condition of peace to a people
whose united efforts will bring about a
condition of affairs that must be rejoiced
at even by the bitterest foe.”
A copy of the resolution, upon motion of
Alderman Pearson, was ordered sent to
Hon. Dupont Guerry, who is at the head
of the prohibition movement in the city.
The Carnival Association petitioned for
an additional $750. The petition was re
ferred to the finance committee.

SECOND MW RE
YET RETAINED
But it Will Be Made Up of
Men Who Want to Re
main in the Service.
SENATOR BACON AT WORK
To Have the Second Held and Made
Up of Voluntary Enlistments
from the Two Regiments.
It is more than probable that the Sec
ond Georgia regiment will be retained in
the service. Not, however, made up of
men who wanted to get out, but men who
are anxious to remain as soldiers of Uncle
Sam’s army.
Senator Bacon left this morning for
Washington, where he goes to obtain an
order from the department which will be
of the utmost importance to the officers
and men of both the regiments.
A movement is on foot looking to the
retention of the Second Georgia regiment.
The plan is to muster out all the men
of both the First and the Second regi
ments 'Who do not want to remain in the
service, and then transfer to the Second
regiment all those in the First who do
wish to confinue in the service.
The Second regiment will thus -be com
posed exclusively of men who do not wish
to be mustered out. In the same way it
its proposed that the officers of the second
regiment who wish to resign will retire
and their places will be filled by officers
of the First.
A deputation of the officers of both the
first and the Second regiments held a con
ference with Senator Bacon yesterday on
this subject, and he agreed to aid them
on the basis that no man should be retain
ed 1 in tho service who wished to be mus
tered out.
This will be good news to a large num
ber of the officers and men of both regi
ments.
It is dnderstood that a numebr of the
officers of both regiments are anxious to
go out and that there are at least 500 and
perhaps 800 men in the two regiments who
will remain. This being so it will be a
simple matter to hold the regiment to
gether, as the nucleus thus formed will
soon be made up by recruiting through the
state.
This action on the part of Senator Ba
con is another evidence of the good work
that he is always ready and willing to do
where Georgians are concerned, for while
it is true that there has been some grum
bling among the men about being kept in
the service after the war is over it is a
fact that there are many of them who
have decided that the life of a private in
the army is as easy as any and they are
willing and anxious to remain in the ser
vice and they would make good army offi
cers.
It is not at all improbable that Col.
Oscar Brown will made colonel of the
Second Georgia reorganized.
The result of Senator Bacon’s trip to
Washington will be waited with anxiety
by a large number of men in this state.
THE ACME BREWERY.'
The Important Relation it Sustains Toward
Macon.
The average citizen has no idea as to the
real importance of the Acme Brewery to
Macon. If there were any remote possi
bility of its closing down every line of
business in Macon would feel the effects
of the blow.
In the first place it advertises Macon
abroad more than any half dozen other
enterprises in the city. Macon beer is used
in several states, thereby bringing vast
quantities of outside money here which
finds its way into local circulation. Al
though it supplies the whole of Macon
with beer this is but a drop in the bucket
to its outside trade.
Fully two-thirds of the brewery's help
is skilled labor and is paid large wages,
nearly every dollar of which is snent in
iMacon. It is estimated that this institu
tion feeds over fifteen hundred people, and
it is a notorious fact that its management
is always the first to contribute p helping
hand to' every public enterprise.
These facts should commend the Acme
Brewery to the loyal consideration of
every public spirited citizen. It is un
derstood that the Acme Brewing Co. is
contemplating improvements on their
plant, which, will involve an outlay of
over $50,000.
EXCITING CHASE
Took Place this Morning Near the City
Hall.
The people on the streets near the city
hall witnessed an exciting chase this
morning.
Eugene Bowman, a negro, was bjjng
carried from the court room to the prison
when he made a bold dash for liberty. He
jumped the gate at the station sergeant’s
office and started out Firse street at a
rapid rate. Several of tne officers started
in pursuit and about ten firemen also
joined in the chase.
The negro turned down Plum street and
was outdistancing his followers when
Fireman Pitts, an old time sprinter made
one of his famous dashes and a long tackle
which brought the negro down. He was
carried back to the court room and was
fined $lO for vagrancy. The other two
cases were dismissed.

ANOTHER VICTIM
OF PISTOL TOTING
Will Munch Shot Through the
Heart by His Best
Friend.
ENTIRELY ACCIDENTAL
Two Young Men Were Playing
Checkers- Died in a Young
Lady’s Arms.
•
Mr. \\ ill Munch, a young man 22 years
of age. was shot and instantly killed in
East Macon last night about 9 o’clock by
Perry Davis.. The killing was accidental.
Munch was at the house of Davis and
the veung mtn were engaged in a game
of checkers when Davis nulled a pistol
and showed it to Munch. After examining
the nistol he made a movement to put it
in his pocket and it seems that in some
way the hammer got caught and the pis
ol went off. Davis was shot through the
hand and Munch through the heart.
1 he unfortunate young man lived about
a raiiiuts after he was shot. After the
bullet had struck him he walked to the
loor and said, "You have hurt me,” and
would have fallen had it not been for Miss
Whitaker, a young lady who caught him
as he fell. He died in the young lady's
arms.
Munch was the only son of Mr. Charley
Munch, a well known citizen of East
Macon and the accident is greatly deplor
ed. Munch’s parents are heart-broken
over the affair. When Davis found that
he had killed his friend he was nearly
razed and seemed inconsolable.
Davis was shod in the hand inflicting a
painful wound.
The coroner was sent for Just after the
killing was done and he arrived in about
an hour’s time. He summoned a jury at
once and held the inquest. The verdict
rendered was that Munch was accidentally
killed by a pistol in the hands of Perry
Davis. Coroner Hollis says that the state
ment which appeared in a morning paper
saying that there were witnesses was in
correct. He says that there was nobody
in the room when the shooting took place
but that people were in the house at tile
same time.
The funeral services will be held to
morrow morning at 10 o’clock from the
residence in East Macon and the inter
ment will be at Fort Hill cemetery.

MACON NEWS WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 26’1898
W. ft, DftVIS IS
GRANDMASTER
Elected bv the Masons this
Morning to Highest Of
fice in Their Gift.
MOST POPULAR ELECTION,
Other Officers Elected this Morning
—Change of System of Pay
ments—Adjourn Tomorrow.
The session of the Masons yesterday af
ternoon was open to the public and many
people were present.
The whole afternoon was devoted to. the
memorial exercises of Dr. W. A. Love, of
Atlanta, who died recently. He was one of
the most prominent Masons in the United
States.
The committee appointed read the. reso
lutions which they had adopted and many
speeches were made by the members of
the convention. The exercises were very
fitting to the occasion and a copy of the
resolutions will be forwarded to the fam
ily of the deceased member.
At the session last night the lodge de
cided to reduce the mileage from 10 cents
per mile each to five cents per mile each
way and to increase the per diem from
$3 to $4
The lodge has been trying to adopt this
movement for some time and for the past
three years it has been brought up but
each time it w-as defeated. It will mean a
saving of about $1,500 each year for the
lodge. It is hoped to reduce the mileage
still more at the next session as many
members are in favor of paying only the
actual cost of traveling.
The convention met this morning at the
usual time and proceeded with the elec
tion of officers. The following officers
were elected:
The following officers were elected:
Grand Master, iW. A. Davis, of Macon.
Deputy Grand Master, (Max Meyerhard,
of Rome.
Acting Senior Grand Warden, J. D. Har
rell, of Bainbridge. <
Junior Grand Warden, Tom Jeffries, of
Atlanta.
Grand Treasurer, James W. Rushin, of
Boston, Ga.
Grand Secretary, W. A. Wolihin, of Ma
con, Ga.
The election of Mr. W. A. Davis to the
office of grand master will be popular
with the Masonic order throughout the
state. It is a high compliment of course
to him and to the city that he lives ’u and
he is today receiving congratulations on
every side.
Mr. Davis has been mentioned for sev
eral times top the office of grand master,
but has steadily declined to allow the use
of his name in this connection. The people
of the city generally will congratulate Mr.
Davis upon his election.
The election was a surprise to the out
side public but the members of the grand
lodge say that it was a matter well under
stood before the communication com
menced.
It has been the intention of the grand
lodge, it possible, to conclude its business
by tonight in order to save the expense of
an extra day’s session, but from present
appearance it does not look as if this
would be possible.
FIRE AT BELLEVUE.
Residence of Mr, J, J. Rooney Burned to the
Ground.
The house of Mr. J. J. Rooney, about
two miles out of the city, was completely
destroyed by fire last night. The fire
bj-oke out about 8 o’clock and the iouse
was burned to the ground in a few min
utes. It was beyond the fire limits end it
was impossible for the fire department to
render any assistance.
The house was a very large one and it
is thought that it caught from {he barn
which was very close to the house. It ! s
a total loss and none of the furniture was
saved. The house is the property of the
New South Building and Loan Association
of New Orleans.

LYCEUM’S SUCCES.
It Will Be Necesaary to Limit the Member
ship this Year.
“We have been simply astonished at the
quick and complete success of the Ly
ceum,” said a director this, morning. “The
secretary reports a membership of 276 and
thinks by Saturday the limit, 300, will be
reached. After then, I am afraid all will
make enemies for it is not desirable to try
to handle more than 600 people, and many
think that tickets can be bought at the
door. Next year a Lyceum of 500 will be
planned; this year it is better to please
the smaller number.”
• “The strongest feature of the movement
is the fact that with the exception of
those honors on Tuesday last, no regular
canvass of the city has been made. Ap
plications come in by mall. When the
twenty-four vacancies are filled member
ships will sell at a premium as in other
cities. This year $lO is offered in Augusta.
“The next attraction? Well probably De

ture, “The Harp of the Senses” on Novem

three weeks, but this year we have to ad
just ourselves to open dates. Lyceum

MR. W. A. WOOD DEAD.
Funeral Services Were Held this After

Mr. W. A. Wood, a well known butcher,
died last night at his home on Oglethorpe
street. About two months ago he was
stricken with paralysis and since that time

about 45 years old and leaves a wife and
four children to mourn his loss. He has
conducted a butcher business in the citv
for a long time and was one of the best
known men in the city.
The funeral services held this afternoon
at 3 o’clock from the residence and the
