He Will Decide the Whole Matter- Troops Are Expected to Begin Arriving Early Next Week. "We like every site that has been shown ns. We like iMaoon. We want the camp (here. We think the sites excellent and alley are all so very good that we are at Joss which one to select.” said General Compton this morning to a News reporter who questioned him in regard to the ex act location of the camp. The general did not like the ideta of talking of the camp, but he finally said tlr.it he liked the last site, which the Huff gdace best of sill. "General Bates will be down 'today,” ho said "and he will finally decide the ques tion I do not know the site that he will select and 1 am not in a position to say, but his word will he final." It seems, however, that the Huff place will he the camp as plans have been drawn for the location of the different regiments. While the officers refuse to Rive out anything definite 'they all speak very favorable of the Huff place* and say that it is an excellent location. Many citizens were seen in regard to the matter this morning and 'they say that Jt Is decidedly the best location they know of. Still some are inclined to think that •he Oemulgee park site is a good one and there is still some hopes of that place bl ing the camp.

He will remain at the Hotel La nier until the arrival of his troops and the will then go into camp. He has many friends here who are glad to see him and he is shaking hands all around today. STUART ROBRON Is Sure to Havo a Tremendous House To morrow Night. Stuart Robson’s annual visits to Macon are always accounted pleasurable events in the world of amusement, he has endear ed himself to thousands of theater-goers by reason of the many clever characteriza tions which he has' contributed to the comedy stage of America. Characteriza tions, by the way, that have always been carefully drawn and delicately as well as artistically handled by this excellent ar tist, whose followers have come to know that any play to which he contributes his unique personality, will be presented in a painstaking and praiseworthy manner. Therefore, it is not extraordinary that the announcements that have been made rel ative to his forthcoming apearance tomor row night and the first presentation here of Augustin Thomas' comedy success, "The Meddler,” should have succeeded in arousing public intere.'t. lit , B ■ ) _ Miss Marie Burroughs. j "The Meddler,” is described by its au- I author as a comic play of modern man ners. In it Mr. Thomas treats of Ameri can contemporary life; ' the personages who people the author's cast are folks one meets every day. A partial synopsis of the plot reveals that Francis Eli, the med dler (the role assumed by Mr. Robson) has a proclivity for prying into the affairs of his acquaintances. In pursuing this fa vorite, but dangerous pastime, he imagines he discovers an intrigue between the wife of one of his frineds, a Mrs. Bancroft, and a Mr. Chandler, another pae of their set MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 4 iB g S. He feels called upon to put a stop to this and as is usually the case, he has an in tervie wwith the wife, who, of course, is martally offended and during the stormy scene which ensues the husband comes in upon them and finding his wife and “The Meddler” in high words, demands an ex planation, which not being forthcoming, “The Meddler” is ordered from he house. The husband later seeks him out 'and demands satisfaction, whereupon “The Meddler,” to save himself, places' the blame for tho accusation upon first one member of their set and then another un til he has the whole circle in an uproar of complications from which thre seems no escape. Mr. Thomas is said to have handled his subject in a masterly manner; the plot is well defined throughout and the role which he has furnished Mr. Robson is particular ly well suited to that player’s acknolwedg ed gifts of voice and action. Mr. Robson •will be assisted in his presentation of “The Meddler” by all of the original players who contributed their artistic per sonality during the New York run of Au gustin Thomas' play at Wallack’s theater. The majority of these play-folk need no introduction to our theater-goers. Theo dore Babcock, Harold Russell, Theo Ham ilton, Mrs. Stuart Robson. Maude Granger, Gertrude Perry and Marie Burroughs are names that .are synonymous with posi tive worth and- their collective artistic strength is certainly a guarantee that “The Meddler” will receive artistic por trayal at their hands.

Letter from Mayor to Brother in West Superior. By Associated Press. West Superior, Wis., Nov. 4. —The fol lowing letter has been received by Mayor Dietreich: Mayor West Superior, Wls.—Dear Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of resolutions adopted by your common council on the 10th. Our city council will not meet until the 9th of November, but I will take pleasure in bringing' your com munication then before them. The citi zens of Charleston, and especially the no ble women of the old city, rejoice to have it in their power in some degree to allevi ate and soothe the pains of j-our sick and suffering boys who were stricken down when on their way to fight the battles of our common country. We warmly appre ciate your gratitude and heartily recipro cate j-our earnest wish for a closer bond or union between your people and ours. It was worth all this war has cost in money and in infinitely more precious lives, If it will result in the cementing to gether forever the different sections of this great country. All that is neede for such a consummation is for us to know each other better and to realize that we are all Americans. Yours respectfully, J. Aldger Smith. Mayor Charleston, S. C. October 2, 1898. South Macon Dots Mr. James Hightower is seriously ill with consumption at his home near Wav erly church, South Macon. The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Avant has been in a loiw state of health for several weeks at their home ■ait Newburg. She is believed to be im proving, however. Miss Ella Avant is suffering consider a'blj- from the effects of irritation of the optical chord of the eyes, probably brought about by continuous reading by lamp light, ■she being an inveterate “book worm.” It is hoped, however, she will soon recover sufficiently to resume her studies at the Georgia-Alabama Commencia'l College. Mrs. IS. E. Avant returned last Friday from a 'week’s visit to relatives and friends at Cordele and vicinity. Willie Avant, of company L. Third Georgia, is at home on a short furlough. He will return to Griffin next Monday morning. Superintendent Paschal is having the Houston roiad fixed Uip in apple pie order. We are expecting every day, as it were, to see him tackle the sidewalk at the South Macon public school and place it in such condition that the students and teachers may pass over it with ease, con venience 'and saftey. We feel safe in promising that Mr. Paschal will have said sidewalk put in first-class condition as •soon as he reaches school street with his repairing gang, which will be in a very few days, if he continues coming in the direction of the city. South Macon people are pround of their school and justly so, as it is a conceded fact that it is one of the best and most flourishing schools in 'Bibb county, which is saying a great deal when we .take into consideration that Bibb Is the banner school .county of the grand old state o's Georgia. Tho total enrollment of 'South Macon ’school last year was 390 students, this year it will reach 400. A general write- , up of the schools and churches of South Macon will be given one evening next week. “Smith.” C jEV-JST Boars the Kind You Have Always Bought Sie “™ (Comm u n i cate d.)
