4 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. (Communicated.) 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. • (Communicated.! And yet whisky men say Prohibition is a Trade-destroyer—Read this.

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. AT POLICE STATION. fudge freeman Held a Short Session this Mornirfg.

Charlie Robertson was charged' with loafing around the railroad, yards, but ho was dismissed. John Dukes was fined $2.50 for disorder ly conduct. Several soldiers were tried, but they were turned over to the camp au thorities for punishment.

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 FUNERAL OF MR.

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. CA-STOTITA.
