MAY LOCATE ON
CONSOLIDATED
Huff Property and Residence
Has Been Offered bv Maj.
Winters as a Site.
WAITING FOR GENERAL BATES
Who Will Decide at Which of the
Places the Troops Are to Be
Located.
•
Another change has come over the
spirit of wh.v so far ha* been but a dream.
The Bite forth. encampment of' the
troops of the First army corps, who are
to come to Macon, will now, It is stated
jx* tiv.-ly by officers who do not know,
and -onditionally by those who do know,
be located on the property known as the
Huff place near Crump’s Park.
Yesterday .Major E. E. Winters made
the offer of this site to Generals Compton
and McKee and later in the day he added
a* an indii' ’-ment the Huff residence over
looking the rite.
It con.“b> of about three hundred acres
of fairly level land on the west side of
th<- Central railroad, and the officers seem
to Im* well pleased with it, but the fact of
th.- matter b> that no Bite will be selected
until after the arrival of General Bates,
who h expected to arrive in the city to
night or tomorrow.
There are three sites under consideration
now and the statement that the fourth site
has been selected is a mistake.
The site at Ocmulgee Park is objected
do by Colonel Biddle, who Is the chief en
glneer of General Wilson’s staff, on ac
<-ount. of the lack of space, he says. Hut
St is not at all improbable that this diffi
culty may yet be surmounted, though an
officer who ought to know said to The
News 'this morning that tiie Ocmulgee
T.and Company’s site had been rejected.
Tliis Is denied by other officers who say
that General Bates may decide to use this
site under certain conditions.
Then there is the South Macon site, to
•which the engineering force wan detached
yesterday, but were ordered back to Oc
oniilgce last night. It is possible that may
be the site to be picked out but officers
way that the generals do not like the near
aiess of the swamp and that they say the
site at Ocmulgee Park is much more pre
f« cable.
The last nite pick< d out as a probability
is that at Crump’s Park and the offer of
the Huff residence which is a roomy two
story house on a knoll overlooking the
site from end to end, and is a strong in
ducement.
Then it is a fact that the Central rail
road runs dlrectlv through this site and a
spur track is there already. The land is
lev. 1, and Major Winters says he will put
on a five minute schedule to and from the
ramp if necessary.
At any rate everything Is now awaiting
th. arrival of General Bates.
General Wilson this morning by wire
order 'd a survey of this site, and the en
gine, rs, under Captain Hardee, went over
from the Ocmull? e Park camp to the Huff
place end commenced the survey at once.
The generals and their staff went out
to the site at Crumps park this morning
with the owner aad Major Winters and
went over It. On their return they ex
pressed themselves as very well pleased
■with it, but they all refuse to commit
themselves to any statement definitely
fixing this as the site. >t may be safely
Baid, however, that this will be the site
for the encampment of the troops, and as
there is very little work to be .lone and
the water mains can be run there very
qui. kl with a large forco of hands, the
soldiers will soon begin to arrive.

AGAINST THE BOYCOTT.
Rev. A. M. Williams Injects a Few Temper
ate Words Into Prohibition Campaign.
Editor of The News: You are ray friend
and the present campaign for prohibition
shall not change our relations. You may
iloee your friendship for me, but I will not
allow myself to lose mine for you. If I
think you are mistaken, I will only re
member how easy it is for men to err.
Yesterday you undertook to defend Mr.
Collier from the charge of being a whisky
man. In that effort I do not think you
were successful. Did he not vote “for the
Bale of Whisky? lk>cs not that vote com
mit a man td friendship for the traffic?
(Let the men who favor the sale of whisky
under high or other license, take the name
that belongs to them—that the very form
of their ballot fixes.
I am sorry to know that my good old
friend takes the absolutely illegal position
of being for high license. It is the least
defensible of all solutions of the liquor
question. The ultimate principle involved
in this problem is: Is the sale of liquor
right or wrong? If it is wrong, prohibition
is the logical solution. We have no right
to license a person to do wrong. If it is
right, then we do the whisky dealer a
great injustice whji we discriminate
against him. If it is right to sell whisky,
put it on the same basts as the sale of
eboAs. tread, clothes. If !c meets a legit
imate. proper want of men. why let men
have it without its adulteration, caused by
the effort to overcome the extra expense
of the high license system. The solution
of this quest ion is either prohibition or a
strictly merchandise policy with whisky.
But without exaggeration, toning all our
figures down to the lowest point, the drink
evil is one of the most gigantic of the day.
(ivilitation must either destroy this evil
or this evil will destroy civilization.
Excuse this digression. I took up my
pen to urge you to speak out against the
effort made to 'boycott prohibitionists.
Every day we hear of employers giving
notice to their employes not, to register to
vote for prohibition, of merchants and
professional men being notified that fur
ther patronage depends on either the ad
vocacy of the whisky side or neutrality..
This is shameful and sinful. This is a
free country and the absolute freedom' of
the ballot should be protected. This effort
to restrain the freedom of our people is
worthy only of condemnation. I am sure
no conscientious or noble-minded whisky
man can approve of that method. Please
urg» fair-p'.iy, I would also enter my
protest against the “paying of taxes” for
voters. 1 am glad to know that the prohi
bitionists are not debauching the ballot in
that way. For one I had rather fail than
for our side to do a single corrupt thing.
, A. M. Williams.

Young ’lien’s Christian Association is Rap
idly Growing.'
The efforts of .the officers and commit
tees of the Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation to build it up an'd make it a great
power for good in the .community are
proving so successful that they report |he
pleasing intelligence that, thirty members
were received in to their association dur
ing the, month of October. This is very
encouraging to those who are so unsel
fishly working for the success of the in
stitution, and gives them fresh courage to
renew their efforts and bring in a still
larger mumber* during the month of No
vember. The three splendid prizes offered
to those who bring in the largest numbers
of me-mbers by Thanksgiving day, and 1899
Monarch bicycle, by Mr. J. M. Shiniiolser,
a gedd watch by Mr. George T. Beeland,
and a Knox hat by Mr. Clem Phillips, of
course has the effect of stimulating many
to greater effort, but they all say that
they are working not so much for the
prizes as for the success of the association,
and of course this is the proper spirit in
which to work in such a cause. The mem
bers say they want it undestood that the
good work will not cease with the closing
of the contest on the night of November
24th, but that it is t<> be kept right on
after that, until every young man in Ma
con is at least offered the opportunity to
become a member and receive the great
benefits offered by the association.
In its own home, and splendidly equip
ped as it is it offers to any young man
many times the value of the $5 he pays for
a membership ticket, while the noble work
it is dbing for soldiers, strangers, and
those unable for any reason to pay this
fee is enough to commend it to the hearty
sympathy and support of every business
mln in the community, and they are
showing this by subscribing liberally to
carry on its work.

CASTOrtXA.
Bears the The Kind You Have Always Bought
IS INSPECTING
PRISON SITE.
Commissioner Tom Eason, the
King of the Wiregrass,
Wants to See for Himself,
WICEUEITMHTitK
Possessed by this Site Over All Oth
ers and Chances Are that it Will
Be the Selection After AIL
There Is still a very strong probability
that the state penitentiary will be located
at Juliette. Mr. Tom Eason, who took the
place of Commissioner Beach, is inspecting
that site today, and it Is more than prob
able that he will come to the same decis
ion as did Mr. Beach, that it is the best
site offered.
Following in brief are the advantages
of the site as laid before the commission
ers.
1. On account of the magnificent water
power and mill facilities.
2. Exact central location, and conse
quent large saving in transportation of
prisoners from different sections of the
state.
3. Fine building stone and granite in in
exhautible quantities.-
4. Fine brick clay for brick, tile and
pipe making.
5. Property immediately on a large
troung line of railways.
6. Property being only twenty-three
miles from Macon and sixty-five
from Atlanta, thus putting it between two
large trade centers.
7. Easy access to armed forces of two
of the largest cities in the state, in case
of an uprising of the prisoneree.
8. Surplus water power can be convert
ed into electricity and sold to (Macon par
ties. The income from this source alone
wilj be sufficient to pay the interest on
and the cost of the property and improve
ments which will be erented thereon and
yield a. large annual net Iniome to the
state. •
9. The healthfulness of the lolation,
combined with the perfect drainage of the
land, and its good water supply, are among
the strongest reasons why this ■property
should be selected.
10. Large amount of virgin timber.
11. Large amount of bottom lands under
cultivation, and cleared up lands.
12. Improvements costing $25,000 upon
the property.
12. The seclusion to the penitentiary
which the river affords, combined with its
accessibility.
14. Freedom of land being traversed by
public roads.
15. Proposition to erect bridge across
river between Jones and Monroe counties.
16. Landis well watered for stock.
17. Convenience to state officials to visit
the property.
We do not believe there is another piece
of property in the state that has all of
(these combined advantages and against
which no objection can be brought. We
submit, if any other locations can offer
equal advantages at less cost than which
the property is offered at, such location
should be selected, otherwise this proper
ty should be.
We are fully satisfied that this prop
erty meets all the requirements contem
plated in the act authorizing the pur
chase of such a location for the purpose
indicated, and, from*our knowledge of the
other properties that have been offered the
commission, we do not believe that their
offerings do’ meet fully the requirements
of the act.
HOLT-WILLIAMS.
A Quiet Home Wedding on High Street Yes
terday.
Mr. James T. Holt and (Miss Sussie Wil
liams were married yesterday at the resi
dence of the bride’s parents on High
street. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. R.- R. White, of .the Presbyterian
church.
Only the friends and relatives of Ithe
couple were present. 'Mr. Porter Sewell
acted as best man and Miss Williams acted
as maid of honor. The couple left for New
York and other Northern points just after
the ceremony.
■Both the young people are very popular
and have a large circle of friends who wish
them happiness. After November 15 they
will be at home at the residence of 'Mr.
Ab Holt in Vineville.
KEEP COOL.
American Queen is the Best Thing on Earth
for Ruffled Nerves.
There is no use to get excited over the
agitation now being waged from the circus
tent. The, people of (Macon think for
themselves and generally think right. The
oid town is not half so near the Devil as
some alarmists would have you believe.
She is getting along pretity well thank you
and will not involve herself in any revolu
tionary experiment this year to say the
least.
Just keep your brains cool and clear by
drinking American Queen beer, and let the
ballots do the rest. The beers made by the
Acme Brewing Company never di 1 any
body harm except to make ’em fat and
saucy. Those whose digestions are bad
and livers wrong should try American
Queen and get in love with the world.

the fine was suspended.
Charlie Robertson was charged' with

John Dukes was fined $2.50 for disorder

Patrolman Frank Grace is confined to
his home with an attack of erysipilis,
caused by being kicked in the stomach a

is thought that he will be alright in a few

MACON NEWS THURSDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 3 isgb.
ONE OF THE GREATEST.
Stuart Robson to Present “The Meddler"
, Saturday Night.
That very much heralded event In local
theater circles, the engagement of Stuart
Robson in Augustus Thomas' new comedy
hit, “The Meddler,” ts to begin at the
Academy of Music on Saturday night, and
that this legitimate comedy and careful
and a-tistic c-omedian are a welcome inva
sion of uor circle is acceptable, goes with
out saying.
“The Meddler.” is a genuinely American
comedy, written by a genuine American
author, and according to contemporary
critics, succeeds in arounstng a wave of
genuine laughter and this without the aid
of funny falls and vampire doors -which
some folks think the acme of farsical fun.
“The Meddler" is quite the reverse of
this; it is a society comedy acted by well
bred people and depends on the fun which
it arousese by reason of the numerous
complicated situations in which they are
involved by “The Meddler,” whose well
meaning but meddling endeavors very
nearly causes the disruption of several
happy homes. Stuart Robson will enact
the well meaning but misguided pryer into
other people’s affairs whose proclivity In
that direction immeshes his entire circle
of acquaintances to such an extent that he
finally becomes entangled himself. The
complications are said to be many and
ludicruous. Mr. Robson will have the as
sistance of Marie Burroughs, Mrs. Stuart
Robson, Maude Granger, Gertrude Perry,
Theodore Hamilton, Harold Russell, Theo
Babcock and several other notable delinea
tors of comedy roles. 4 a

of that disease. If Chamberlain’s Couch
Remedy is given as soon as the child be

cough has appeared, it will prevent the
attack. Many mothers who have eroupy

MORE COMFORT.
Blankets Plentiful at Camp
Roe Last Night.
Blankets were plentiful at Camp Roe
last night and the men did not suffer very
much from the cold. The weather was
somewhat warmer also the soldiers man
aged to spend the night comfortably.
The soldiers are now having an easy
time to what they once had. They have
no duties to perform except to go on guard
occasionally and then only for a short
time.
The surgeons will begin their examina
tions soon. Every man in the regimen;
will have to be examined before being dis
charged so that 'the government will not
have to pension them. Some of the men
who are in good health could easily se
cure a pension by presenting a surgeon’s
certificate stating that their term in the
army disabled them for life. The govern
ment will see, however, thAt the men who
are in good condition are supplied with
certificates to that effect and that will
prevent them getting a pension. Those
who are not in good physical condition
will also be given certificates.
The guns and other equipments will
probably be burned in tomorrow and only
the tents will remain up. The muster
rolls have almost been completed and as
soon as they have been made out the pay
master will be notified and he will come
here at once and pay the men off.
The soldiers are only required to be in
camp when roll is called and at night.
The provost guard still patrols the streets
to arrest all the disorderly soldiers.
Colonel Lawton has the men under excel
lent control and will enforce discipline
until the last moment.
He is kept busy all during the day sign
ing the pay rolls and inspecting the equip
ments of the regiment before they are
turned in.
The sick men in the hospital are im
proving and will 'be out in a few days.
Very few men reported at sick call this
morning and since the weather has be
come somewhat moderated the surgeons
think thait the sickness will be greatly
diminished.
