SITES FOR CAMP
ARE_SELECT[D
All Difficulties, Have Been
Surmounted and the
Troops Will Come.
MR, CORBIN'S EXPLANATION
Says that He is Not Opposed to the
Coming of the Soldiers, But at
First Could Not Control Law.
The hitch which occurred yesterday over
the camp site at Ocmuigee has been sur
mounted and now everything is moving
along with the greatest smoothness.
Yesterday afternoon Generate Cgmpton
end McKee and Colonel Biddle went out to
the park on a special car and made a
.thorough inspection of the site. They
finally agreed to accept it with the provis- I
ion that the Corbin land about which there
was some doubt.
Mr. Corbin says that he bad no desire
to keep the soldiers off 'the land except
that he thought the Arrangement of the
camp should be such as not to be unpleas
ant in any way to the residents of Vine
rille. lie was assured that there would
foe nothing of ibis kind.
His next difficulty was as stated in The
News yesterday that for the present and
until the first of January he had no con
trol of tbe land as it had been leased but
he told tbe generals later in tbe day that
he did not think that there would be any
difficulty about this part of it and that
he could arrange with tbe lessee for the
land.
This did away with the diffculty which
at first teemed to be serious, but 'Mr.
('orbin states, in order to put himself
right with the public, that at no time was
he trying to keep the soldiers off of his
land and that the fact that he had no con
trol of the land was the main difficulty.
It was for this reason that the land was
■withdrawn.
Mr. Corbin says that he realizes the
great importance of the encampment as
much as does any citizen of Macon but
that he thinks the camp on the plateau
should be so arranged as not to make any
difference to the citizens of Vineville so
far a; it is possible to avoid it. He has
received assurance that there will be noth
ing of this kind and he is perfectly satis
fied.
It did look decidedly squally yesterday
when Colonel Biddle put his foot down and
•aid that he would not recommend the site
unless this particular piece of land was
put In to it. bast night, however, he
■wired to General Wilson that everything
was all right arid the matter is now defi
nitely settled.
General Compton and his brigade of
•three regiments will be located on the
Winship property below the pavilion at the
O< tnulgee park while General McKee and
his brigade of two regiments of Immunes
will be on this side of the. pavilion nearer
to the city.
The engineers are camped on the
grounds and work on the clearing up of
the site has commenced.

LOCAL OPTION CAMPAIGN.
Bishop Turner, the most
eloquent orator of the colored
race in America, will speak
tonight at the prohibition
tent to a mass meeting of the
white and colored people.
The Collier-Price epistle will be under
a bombardment of testimony and facts
from the business men of Atlanta tonight.
(Mayor Hillyer’s certificate, printed yes
terday in The News, has more than met
Che statements of ex-Mayor Collier.
The animus of this communication from
ex-Mayor Collier is easily understood. He
and his father before him were known as
strong anti-prohibitionists in the local op
tion campaigns in .Atlanta. The ex-mayor’s
eyes are so bandaged with prejudice that
■they are as sightless as the blind tigers
iwhiclj, according to the figures in the
Telegraph this morning flourished under
Mayor Collier’s administration. The secret
of this effort to have Atlanta dominate the
opinions of the Macon people in this elec
tion is that Atlanta knows that as soon as
prohibition wins in this county the friends
of the principle in tfiat county will again
Make heart and renew their attack upon
the combined saloons and . blind tigers
there.
Read and study the startling facts end
amazing figures in tbe morning Telegraph,
showing that the jungle of the blind tiger
is in the wet counties, and that they have
a very prosperous breeding place here.
Prohibition could not possibly produce
blind tigers in Bibb county, because they
already exist in large numbers. Quite a
number of them are bold enough actually
to pay the United States revenue .tax de
manded for conducting the retail liquor
business. This tax is $25.00 a year and is
paid by numerous people who have no
license from the county or city. ,They do
not pay this $25.00 for fun. They pay it
in order to run their blind tigers and at
the same time exempt themselves from
interference by the United States mar
shals. M ith the exception of certain drug
gists who pay the revenue .tax properly in
order to compound alcohol with their pre
scriptions; and with the exception of sev
eral clubs, the figures in the Telegraph
show that there are thirty-two persons in
Bibb county who are paying the United
States tax as retail liquor dealers, and who
pay nothing to the state, city or county.
Yesterday afternoon at the prohibition
tent the Woman’s Anti-Saloon .League was
.organized, officers elected and arrange
ments made for the women of the city to
bring to bear their influence in this elec
tion in all suitable and proper ways. Wo
men have more at stake in this cause even
than men. •’Men take the whisky; the
■women and children take the conse
quence." In this election women and chil
dren cannot vote and in the South the
women do not even want to vote. ’ This
makes it all the more the privilege of
every gentleman to vote for them.
Last night at the prohibition tent Rev.
J. W. Lee preached a gospel sermon. He
Is a strong and effective preacher full of
pathos, often bringing tears of sympathy
to the eyes of the congregation. After the
coming of Sam Jones and George Stewart
on Thursday Rev. 'Mr. Lee will speak in
some of the neighboring counties in which
prohibition elections are being held.
SAM JONES AND GEORGE STEW ART
COME THURSDAY.
Rev. Sam Jones and George Stewart, ac
companied by Charley Tillman, an excel
lent choir master and singer, will carry
on the meetings from Thursday night. It
is only necessary to wish that the tent
would seat 10,000 people instead of 5,000
in order .to accommodate the crowds
Tomorrow night Rev. J. W. Lee will de
liver his last address. All of the friends
of the movement and those who have not
■heretofore heard him should rallv to the
tent

STUART ROBSON
In the Meddler at the Academy of Music on
Saturday.
Stuart Robson, supported by his original
New York company from Wallack’s Thea
tre comes to the Academy of Music on
Friday evening next. He will present his
new comedy success, “The Meddler,"
which is said to be the vehicle which has
been furnished this careful player since it
became necessary to lay aside “The Hen
rietta," in which comedy Mr. Robson as
Bertie the Lamb, scored what has been up
to the present time, conceded as his great
est success.
th
STUART ROBSON—“THE MEDDLER?’
“He meets them on the Mediterranean.’’
In “The Meddler.” which is now his
piece d’resistance Stuart Robson is said to
have a part that fits him better, if that
were possible, than the role he essayed in
Bronson Howard’s play. He moreover has
the assistance of a matchless cast of play
ers in his supporting company; i n fact.
“The Meddler" is said to be better equiped
in this particular than any comeay which
has ever been given expression at the hand
of this talented star. Perhaps the most
notable names in the cast being Marie
Burroughs. Mrs. Suart Robson. Maude
Granger. Theodore Hamilton. Harold Rus
sell. Theodore Babcock. There will be but
one performance of “The (Meddler” in this
city.
ARISTOCRATIC ANIMALS.
Professor Gentry, who is the acknowl
edged foremost animal trainer of the |

dogs and ponies have delighted the deni- i
zens of almost every known part of the i
globe, will shortly visit the city with his i
company o's aristocratic and sagacious an- i
Imais, some one hundred in number, j
w'hich, it is said, have never been equaled I
from a point of intelligence. They will ar- I
rive in their own private cars and -will ;
exhibit under a thoroughly waterproof |
tent located on Poplar street. English lot,
Monday and Tuesday. November 7th and
Sth at 2:30 and 8 p. m.
The exhibition, which is very attractive I
to ladies and children especially, will no ;
doubt receive the hearty support of our |
citizens. The prices of admission are, i
children, 15 cents; adults, 25 cents.

ITHEIR LODGING
ON COLDGROUND
Members of the First Regi
ment Found the Camp
Decidedly Cool.
IT IS VERY DANGEROUS
For Some of the Men, and Some
Steps Will Have to Be Taken to
Improve Conditions at Camp,
Three hundred men were reported ab
sent from Camp Roe yesterday afternoon
when the roll of the first regiment was
' called, but these are expected to be in to
day and probably all of them will be ex
cused fomthe lapse.
It is thought by this evening there will
be some few men absent, but the regiment
as a whole will be together.
The boys slept mighty cold last night
and. a big hard kick went up this morn
, ing. It had good grounds 'too, and it is
thought and most earnestly hoped that
Colonel Lawton will do something to re
lieve the general suffering of the men of
his regiment in this respect.
It is true some of the men have come
prepared for the cold and have been well
supplied by their home .people with blan
kets, but the greatest majority of them
have not got half enough covering. Again
some of them are tougher than others and
can probably stand it, but there are many
of them who are by no means in condi
tion and they should be looked after.
Last night the men slept packed like
sardines in their tents, and even then 'they
were cold. There are, of course no floors
to the tents and the ground was cold and
damp.
It is suggested that Colonel Lawton al
low the men who have homes in Macon to
go to them and report at the camp in the
morning, while others who do not live
here might be allowed to board if they
so desired, while sleeping accommodations
might be provided in the armories and in
some of the adjoining vacant buildings
, with non-commissioned officers in charge.
It looks as if this will have to be done
or the men will many of them be sick.
A requisition to the government for
winter clothing would, probably not be
considered at this time in view of tbe
. fact that the regiment is about to be mus
tered out, but at the same time a large
general supply of blankets could be secur
ed if the colonel does not consider the oth
er plan for the sleeping accommodations
for the men.
’ Certainly it seems to be a pity that the
health and perhaps the lives of the men
should be endangered, just at this time
when many of them are to return home to
" their regular employment and there is no
real reason for holding them down to the
strict rules of the army while many of
them may perhaps be disabled and pre
vented from doing their work for some
time to come.
The regimental band has been organized
again and will furnish music for the regi
ment and the visitors at guard mount and
| it is possible that some concerts will be
given while the men are in camp.
The work of mustering out has not yet
commenced but everything is in readiness
for the paymaster and for the medical iri
’ spection which will be the most tedious
part of the matter. Each man will have
to be carefully examined before he is dis
charged so as to prevent any claims for
pensions coming on the government here
-1 after.
A majority of the men would be willing
to sign any agreement about pensions in
! the future if they were allowed to go. at
’ this time and without any longer delay.
It is expected that the paymaster will ar
rive tomorrow. He may be in this after
noon.

REVENUE STOPS
But the Sale Goes on—Butts County'slExpe
rience With Prohibition.
After all, the question is sfrnply this,
does prohibition prohibit the sale of whis
ky—is it better to permit the legal sale
of whisky by reputable, licensed dealers,
or have it sold by # those who are willing
to defy the law and carry on a secret bus
iness, handling such “stuff” as such a
dealer must'Necessarily Handle.
If the Bibb county prohibitionists really
believe that prohibition will stop the sale
of liquor in Bibb county, they differ from
the prohibitionists of Butts county, who
are just now having some experience with
the problem.
During the prohibition campaign in
Butts county the Jackson Argus was a
strong advocate of prohibition. But the
Argus has lived to learn that pronibit’.oa
really does not prohibit In its last issue
it makes editorial mention of this fact,
and cites a strong case in point.
In an editorial headed “Liquor Selling
In Jackson,” the Argus presents these
convincing facts. It says:
“Recently we have noticed that there is
a very apparent and flagrant violation of
the prohibition laws in Jacskon.
“If the writer were called upon by the
grand jury to testify against anyone sell
ing liquor in Jackson he could not ‘make
a case’ against any one with evidence that
would warrant an indictment under the
forms of law. But we know that intoxi
cating drinks are sold here and we have
a good idea as to some of the parties en
gaged in the sale. They should be caught
at all hazzards and be made to suffer a
penalty.
"We have had a grievous time with
whisky selling in Jackson, and notwith
standing there have been a number of
convictions and punishments inflicted
which seemed adequate and just, yet the
vile traffic goes on. The writer saw a man
carried to the ‘lockup’ a few days since
who, it was said, had got drunk on a cer
tain brand of ‘cider’ sold here. The poor
fellow was the limberest, deadest and most
disgustingly drunk man we have ever
seen. The officers said they picked him
up in the rear of a negro restaurant. Af
ter remaining in prison over night he re
covered sufficiently to say that he gQt
drunk on ‘cider’ and that it was the worst
stuff he ever ‘tackled?
“The Argus knows that the law is being
flagrantly violated (both in letter and In
tention and while it is not news to any
informed man, woman or child in the city,
yet it is a matter that we feel bound to
notice and condemn.”
The Best Plaster.
A piece of flannel dampened with Cham
berlain’s Pain Balm and bound on to the
affected parts is superior to any plaster.
When troubled with a. pain in the chest
or side, or a lame back, give it a trial.
You are certain to be more than pleased
with the prompt relief which it affords.
Pain Balm is also a certain cure for rheu

MAN FROM MEXICO
Was the Most Genuinely Funny Thing Yet
Seen at the Academy.
The funniest of funny comedies “A Man
from Mexico” at the Academy of Music
last night delighted an entirely too meagre
an audience.
Nothing better in its line has ever been
seen in this city. Collier, the star, was
the whole show in himself. He had plenty
of work to do and what he did was magni
ficent comedy acting. For the first fifteen
minutes perhaps the audience was cold,
due largely to the temperature of the house
itself, but it was quickly realized that a
master comedian was on the title role and
then the laughter began. Collier was
funny when he took part in the bright
dialogue and funnier when he was silent.
He made the most staid laugh and those
of more mercurial temperament he con
vulsed. Thorughout the three acts the
comedy was well sustained and it may be
safely said that a return of the young ac
tor will find his house well filled with ap
preciative theatre goers.

A KING’S INGRATITUDE.
How Louie Philippe Repaid the Gea>
eroslty of Americans.
Gouverneur Morris, at one time Ameri
can minister to France, with the generosity
always shown by our people toward the
unfortunate, upon learning of the forlorn
condition of the Duke of Orleans (after
ward Louis Philippe, king of the French),
offered his assistance to secure him safe
conduct to Philadelphia. The Orleans
family at that time were proscribed in
France, and in consequence were unwel
come visitors to any country of continen
tal Europe, being compelled to live in dis
guise.
Morris not only Invited the duke to ac
company him on the voyage from Ham
burg to Philadelphia, but at the same
time transferred to the prince an order
for £IOO to defray his expenses from Bale
to Hamburg. The timely assistance was
accepted with effusive gratitude, by the
royal Frenchman* When he reached Ham
burg, he found that Mr. Morris had been
intrusted by the president of the United
States with a diplomatic mission in Ger
many, and therefore their departure was
delayed.
At length the Duke of Orleans sailed
for Philadelphia on the America, where
arrangements had been made for his
brothers to join him. The three princes
were received with great cordiality by
Washington, then in the last year of his
presidency. They were present at his fare
well address to congress and witnessed the
inauguration of John Adams. An invi
tation to spend several days at Mount Ver
non was eagerly accepted. General Wash
ington himself arranged the itinerary of
their proposed trip through the country.
Every substantial assistance was given the
three princes, whoso mother and sister
were wandering from place to place in Eu-
rope, always under proscription.
After traveling extensively north and
west they determined to go to Cuba, hav
ing learned that their mother was living
in Spain, where the Duchess of Orleans
vainly sought permission for her children
to join her. No sooner had they landed in
Cuba than they were confronted with the
order of the Spanish king refusing them
permission to remain in Havana, or “any
other part of the Spanish dominions in
tho new world.’’ In a letter written sub
sequently to Morris the Duke of Orleans
expressed lively sentiments of affection
and gratitude toward the United States.
But when he came to the throne as
“kingof the French” he treated the claims
of this country with the most contemptu
ous unconcern until President Jackson
ordered our minister to leave France and
called upon congress to give Louis Phil
ippe a lesson by seizing French ships and
cargoes. Then and only then were our
claims settled.—Washington Post.
Old Jalse's Shoes.
There is an old one legged negro named
Jake Lando in this city who would attract
attention anywhere by the picturesque
dilapidation of his attire. He is as nearly
a walking ragbag as it is possible for a
human beijag to become, and how he holds
himself together is a profound and inex
plicable mystery. His complicated tatters
are all the more conspicuous from the fact
that the old fellow always wears an ex
cellent shoe on his remaining right foot,
and he seems to possess a great variety of
different kinds. Back of this circum
stance is a quaint little story. Old Jake’s
former master lives at Baton Rouge and
has also but one leg—the left.
At intervals he sends the crippled darky
an assortment of shoes for which he has
no use, all being right, and he has kept
him supplied in this manner for many
years. As it is impossible to sell odd
shoes, the old fellow is compelled to wear
them, and while the rest of his attire
would indicate that he is in pretty hard
lines, there is no gentleman in New Or
leans who keeps better shod. What Uncle
Jake will do if his benefactor should hap
pen to die is a question. He would no
doubt find some difficulty in discovering
another one legged philanthropist.—New
Orleans Times-Democrat.
