4 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 It was for this reason that the land was ■withdrawn.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. (Communicated.) 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.

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 | period, and whose company of educated I 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. LIST OF LETTERS - Remaining in the Postofflce that Have Not Been Called For.

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 matism. For sale by H. J. Lamar & Sons, druggists. FUNERAL OF MRS. HENDRICKS Was Held Sunday Afternoon from the Resi dence on College St. (Mrs. T. C.

(Her death is mourned by a large circle of friends. She was a consistent member of the First Methodist church and until the time of her illness was a regular attendant. The funeral services were held yesterday afternoon from the residence on College street. Rev. W. W. Pinson conducted the services. The interment was at Rose Hill cemetery. The following gentlemen acted as pallbearers: G. T. Beeland, W. G. Bee land, C. D. Beeland, C- T. King, Lewis Pellew, H. M. Willet, T. C. Peek, J. M. Horton. 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. •eEaqqojqij—,, spnoj uoSbm jnoqs ijb etntj eq; uiooj;juo9 eq; uj »unß jo aoqtnun eq; aeiqd se;uuii;se ;Beq eqj; 'Xje;ivq sjq ,;no piq, pu« ;e(;no DsejnoH eq; joj opmu uera Zieae ‘uoqt?; sseoea e neqAV ‘;ueumtnjv siq eptq o; HMop sii’b;;bod siq peq;ooras pue ;oeje tp?s tnoojwnoe eq; tn uttn aeq;o Xjoao ‘anS v joj pao.YV tnoj, peup aSpnf oq; peup ?anoe eq; pat? ‘lojfood sjq tn joa{OA -ea e peq eq ;eq; eSpnf Suipjsead eq; o; pe;;ittipt? ssea;jM t? .Ct?p aeqjo eq; “j, ‘o ‘pjUMpoo.w ;b osbo b jo jeia; eq; SaunQ •popno'l IIV • ■eje;nofxg ep xne;iaoj^ —‘peoß.ii ojb spaoM peatsep eq; qoiqM uo ‘jeqqna peziuuo[nA jo sqtqs seqtpßAV pun sqoop o;ut seonpouiui eji •BAoaer) pei;;es aeqßtuqojßM qoue-iji e o; enp sj eidiouud oiqdßiSouoqd eq; jo uoi;BOt[dde stqj- -otißpdine sse[ jo ejotu StntiJßAt eq; eqern pun jelnq eq; ;tns o; peSavqo eq uno ettjoj eqj, (i ’uibSb dorqs o; 08 ;,aop ‘spjoas a.qj ppu ueAe qojqM oraos eon ejeqj, ~’dn ;oS 5,;!,, ‘jedeajg eq; o; pBO stujtqß eqj, - X[ -;oai;stp jnoq eq; seounoaoud ;j eoeidettti; Mea eq; jo ao;;nq eq; Btu.sse.rd ipjetu <£g ‘epßqs eq; ai jbj peqsndtuooon ojoj •ojejeq SaiqjXuß oab9{ ‘suveddß ;i ‘qo;qM ‘seqo;BA\ pus sqoop otqdn.ißoaoqd Btn •Ajnoj.oK foodjeAtq—-je -umo Snjssttu eqi ;stnnßß ;anoooß eq; e[p n P III M pußdn tuoq; Satjoqs jo.<;np eq; q;tM j(es;t pegjßqo svq fioanoo eq; jnoq £ub ;b hbj o; ueißouq; sj[bm eq; jo etnos sy poAoraoj eq o; OABq ;qnop on ni" omqd p;o eqj -Xiniquti Lrctunoed eiqßjeptsaoo etanssw puv eoueptAo at jpg •tutq eoß[d o; .<(eqt{ kfeojeos st eq jeaMO ere A[psoj st ejeqi jt inq ‘saoajep jßjn;onj;s eqi pooS eqsai o; eogtpo eqi jo joop eq; uo oopoa .Cq tutq peuomatns OABq put? je -uaio ub jeAoostp o; snotxav: .C[p?jniHa ojb o; stretJisep.xi Butssßd jo Tjejns eq; joj peSijqo ueeq eABq sopijoqann etjqn l eq; ptre ‘Jtßdai ut ;i deeq o; eiqiqtßAß Suteq spun; on uaio o; pejno «nq Apoqou eisj JO Suiiqtnnjo sbm opqßj oqi esnso -eq eoßjd uequ; BAsq o; stages aopjesefi •uiSjia. aqj ■iJßrc ’?S J° O PD -£q pepno st ;i ‘SjaaopucKj ;so:rt 03 saiou oq ijia\ qotqM jo eeaeistre eq; ‘pnoj ssojo But -a«qo oq; at qainqo ;onajop s st ejoqj, ■aopaoq uj j.soqr qojnqj There's an everlastin daylicht an a never fadin spring.

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.
