4 MAY MOVE CAMP TO SOOTH MACON r I —’ Officers are Dissatisfied With the Site on the Ocmulgee Camping Land. BIDDLE GONE ID SEE WILSON And Make a Report-Matter is Still Unsettled and Engineers Have Moved Carrp. The hitch over the selection of a camp Rite has not yet been definitely settled. And It is very probable that Ocmulgee park will only get one brigade, if any. A site out beyond South Macon has been under consideration since yesterday and is more than probable that the camp will be located there or at least one brigade will. It seems that Generals Compton and McKee come to the conclusion that the grounds at Ocmulgee park are entirely too small and that there is not sufficient room for a drill ground. General Wilson has been wired the status of affairs and Colonel Biddle, who left here Fast night, will be in Lexington tonight and will be able to explain every thing. The generals here have the idea that to allow the troops to go into winter quarters in a cramped place, and that for them to have no drill grounds and nothing to do throughout the winter, would completely demoralize them. It was suggested by one of the generals last night that one of the brigades be camped at South Macon and one at Ocmulgee park and this* may be done if the consent of General Bates, the division commander oan be secured. The officers here think, however, that he will not agree to having his troops separated and that it is more than probable that they will be camped in a body. The officers have also telegraphed Gen eral Wilson for permission to have the water mains laid at the governments ex pense, in case that the city refuses to do do. Captain Hardee and his corps of en gineers who have been in camp at Ocmul gee park moved their camp out to South Macon this morning and began staking off a camp for each regiment. It seems from this that the whole camp will be located there. Captain Hardee’s orders are to lay off a site for t ach regimental camp. It is not known yet what will be done as General Wilson will have to be heard from before the generals here oan take any action. Colonel Biddle will be with General Wilson tonight and he can explain the situation exactly as he has seen both places and it is thought that his recom mendations will have a gnat deal to do with the location of the camp. The city officials are at loss what to do. They thought all the while that the site at Ocmulgee park would be sufficiently large for the troops that had been ordered here ami 'that is why they recommended it. The generals bqre can give out noth ing definite but it seems that as the camp is being laid off by the engineers at South Macon that is more than likely to be put there. It will probably be known tomorrow what will be done. It is an assured fact that the camp will be located here how ever. The troops will not be moved from here, ft will be cither at South Macon or the command will be divided as above Stated. SPURTRACK. Ihe Consolidated Will Run One to the Camp if it is at JOcmulgee. In case one of the brigades is lo cated at Ocmulgee park it is very prob able that the Consolidated Street Railroad Company will run a spur track to the park. Negotiating are now on foot for the right of way and It is learned from good authority that the company will get the right of way and if the troops are camped there they will build the tracks at once. The movement has been in contempla tion for some time but it has been keot rather quiet and nobody except the stock holders of tire company knew it. sanitary experts of the highest scientific being booked. The session of the record- Major E E. Winters, manager of the Consolidated line, has just returned from Knoxville, where he saw how the car com panies in that place handled the troops. He thinks that if the spur track were built more soldiers would come Into the city as a better schedule could be put on if there were two lines running to t'ho park. It is not known where the spur track would leave the main line but it iwlll go direct to the camp. A ten minute schedule will probably be put on by both lines and It will give the soldiers an ample oppor tunity of visiting the city. In case the soldiers are all camped at the South Macon site the Consolidated will no doubt extend their line to the proposed camp site and will put on a fast schedule to the city. PROVOST GUARD Patrols the Streets of the City Every Night. Macon is now patrolled by a provost guard every night. The main cause is to assist the policemen in keeping order. All of the drunken soldiers that are found on the streets are put under arrest, and are eent to camp. , Last night the guard took in about five men cut today they have only had to send In two. If any of the policemen arrest a eoldter they turn him over to the provost guard and he is taken out of the city at cnee. NEXT SATURDAY Stuart Robson Will Be Greeted by a Big House at the Academy. The management of ihe Academy of Music are jubilant over the outlook for the advance sale of seats and boxes for the engagement of Stuart Robson next Satur day night at that playhouse. The box office was opened yesterday morning and the receipts are already of such goodly proportions as to presage a lucrative en gagement for this excellent delineator of comedy roles, who for his forthcoming ex ploitations of “The Meddler” in this city has surrounded himself with a company of players notable for their conceptions of any parts for which they may be cast. “The Meddler” is conceded as being one of the most distinct successes of the pres ent theatrical season and as such has been accepted by critics and public, all of whom have come to know that the name of Stuart Robson associated with a play pre dicts its careful and artistic presentation. Mr. Robson will be supported upon his forthcoming visit by the same notable cast of players who lent their personality and experience to the production of "The Med dler” in New York city at Wallack’s Theatre. Mr. Thomas’ play was vouch safed a run of four phenomenal weeks, re cently. Their names are Theodore Hamii. ton. Harold Russell, Theodore Babcock, .

Bears the Kind YoU HaW AIWayS &&&&£ i I DELEGATES TO GO TO CONVENTION To Be Held at Memphis to Consider Yellow Fever and Quarantine. COUNCIL'S REGULAR MEETING Last Night Brought Out Several Matters of Considerable Inter est to the Public, Council held its regular session last night and while it remained in session for only a few minutes, some very Im portant business was transacted. The first petition that came up "was that of the Hebrew Aid Society, re questing a lot of land in Rose Hill Cem etery. The petition was referred to the committee on cemeteries. • A letter was read from the mayor of Memphis requesting that delegates be appointed from the city council to attend the general convention which is to be held in Memphis next month to decide on the best method of regulating a quarantine. Tne mayor was instructed to appoint del egates. The committee on market reported that they had received only one bid for putting a new roof on the market, and that was from L. C. Ricks, for SSOO. The contract was awarded to Ricks. Aledrman Morgan, of the committee on fire department, reported that one of the fire engines has worn out and that the city was in need of a new one. He asked that the committee be allowed to make a contract for a new engine, to be delivered on the first of February. He stated that the city could include the cost of the en gine when the annual appropriation for the fire department was made at the be ginning of the year. The answer of the anti-saloon league and of the chairman of the executive com mittee to the mayor’sresolution last week was ordered filed in the clerk’s office for future reference. Aiderman Pearson introduced a resolu tion to grant Chief of Police Boifeuillet a temporary leave of absence while he was in Atlanta. This came as a surprise to the members of the council, as some few thought that the chief would tender his resignation at the meeting and that a suc cessor would be elected. A resolution was introduced by the mayor stating that as Hon. Roland Ellis i had introduced a bill in the legislature to amend the charter of the city of 'Macon, that Hon. J. H. Hall, A. W. Lane and J. F. Redding be requested to aid in the pas ' sage of the bill. The resolution was adop- • ted. The council adjourned after this res olution was adopted. Cf-A-STOH-T-A..

A gentleman who travels for a Savan nah grocery and whisky house denies this statement and on the contrary affirms that it is not prohibition but whisky that destroys business. He cites this instance. He had a store in a town in which formerly no whisky' was sold. This business was managed by his 'brother, who did a good business so long as whisky was not sold. When the sale of whisky was introduced his trade dwindled. He attributes this to the fact that the laboring class, who furnish the bulk of trade in the town, spent their money for whisky instead of buying dry goods and groceries for their families. He is now so strongly impressed with the fact that the liquor business is detroying the material interests of the country that he advised his firm to dispense with selling whisky, giving their efforts only to the sale of groceries. And yet everywhere the country is met with the argument that prohibition kills trade and that whisky fosters it. /' ■ A gentleman who was doing business at Sandersville makes this statement: “I was doing, business in the town dur ing the whisky regime We determined to rid the county of this curse and went about it with might and main. Every where we were met with the hue and cry that liquor supported the whole fabric of business and that if we voted It out our town would dry up and business men gen erally would be crippled. We voted it dry in the face of all these statements. My business increased 25 per cent when the prohibition law became of force, and I was informed that other merchants enjoyed the same degree of prosperity. This gentle man insists that prohibition helps instead of injures business. He said further that the people of Washington county demon strated their belief in this fact by their votes. The county went for prohibition in the first instance by ’2OO votes, and when • the liquor men sought to fasten the fangs , of this curse once more upon them, believ ing that it was to the best interests of the ' county to continue prohibition, the people i of Washington county completely aunihi ■ '.ated the 'liquor traffic by rolling up a majority of about 1.200 against this busi ness destroyer. This gentleman in the light of his experience thinks it absurd to talk about whisky helping anything in the way of decent and legitimate business.

The football cranke of the city are look ing forward to the great game of football which is to be played here on Saturday week. It will be a game such as the people of Macon have never before had the oppor tunity of witnessing. The University of Georgia and the Uni versity of North Carolina will lock horns here on November 12th to decide the championship of the South. Georgia has won four games this season and the South Carolina team has Avon the same number, but North Carolina has not been up against as strong a team as Van derbilt, and has only met teams from the minor colleges. Georgia's great victory over the Van derbilt team Saturday has given the team confidence and they think that they can easily defeat the “tar heels.” The Carolina boys have some warm supporters here, however, and they are willing to give two to one on Carolina. A special train will be run from Athens on the day of the game and the whole college will come to Macon to root for the team. Large crowds will also come from Atlanta and other points. The game will be played at the baseball park, which has been put in excellent condition. Manager Pomeroy of the Athens team will arrive in tho city tomorrow and will make the arrangemens for the game. Shoes of all varie ties at cost at Mix Shoe Co. PETITION FOR INCORPORATION.
