SAM P, JONES
IS JN_CHARGE
Noted Evangelist Commenced
His Campaign Against
Liquor Yesterday.
HIS OPINION OF POPULISTS
Givtn in the Course of His Address
Was Hardly Complimentary-
Spoke*to Immense Crowd,
The prohibition > nt was crowded both
ycutcniay afternoon and last night. Rev.
Sam Jon<x, of Cartersville, was in chargs
of tiie meeting, and ho draws crowds
wherever he goes.
The tent was filled to its utmost capac
ity and all of the seats were taken. Many
p<cjd< stood in the allies and the entrance
to the tent was also filled. A large num
ber of negroes were also present at both
meetings.
The music both afternoon and night was
decid. lly the best that has been heard at
th< tent this year. Mr. Charles 1). Till
man. of Atlanta, was in charge of the
choir.
In hln sermon yesterday afternoon Mr.
Joins made a strong talk for prohibition.
He made no attacks on the city govern
ment, but confined himself to the subject.
H< rou- 1 up the "card playing suiters,”
;is he termed them, but that waft as far
<i- he went from his subject.
In the course of his address yesterday
evening Mr. Jones made use of a number
of his favorite epithets as applied to liquor
dealers and half-hearted church members.
He said that the church congregations
looke d well on dress parade, but that when
1t came to fighting they would not fight.
They threw down their arms and ran, but
this is to Im- a fight, he said, referring to
the prohibition campaign. He did not fear
tiny man where his vrinciplee were In
volve d, and he proposed to make it a war
straight from the shoulder.
H< said that he had heard too much of
the South, itw men and its women. No man
r< vercu the women of the South more than
he did and no man more despises -the men.
The fact of the matter, ho eaid, was that
the -men of this cou retry were too much
afraid to declare themselves and they com
promised with the devil.
Referring to 'politics, Mr. Jones said that
in- had been liorn and raised a Democrat
and had stayed a (Democrat until he got
sober. Some of his audience, he -said, were
Democrats and they ought to be sorry for
tin mselves. Others were Populists and
that was enough; they would get along all
right in this world and stood a chance in
the next, for the Lord made special provis
ions for children and Idiotß.
Mr. Joni*. while full of his own peculiar
and particular jokes, was not fully up to
his own standard yesterday, but be excus
«xl 'hlnwelf on account of illness.
Last night's service woe of the nature
of a religious revival. Mr. Jones said that
lie wanted this for he believed that the
Lord Jtsiis Christ could do anything even
to cleaning up Macon, and if ho could
clean up Macon he could do anything else.
\t jilght he preached the same doctrine.
He will remain here aibout fifteen days
and will conduct the services every night.
The election is only about twenty days
off and each side is hard ar work. Meet
ings are hell by loth, every night and -as
tiie il iv for the election draws closer, each
Bide gets down to harder work.

COURTS ARE ALL
HARDJT WORK
November Term of the Supe
rior Court Was Commenc
ed this Morning.
GRAND JURY TOMORROW
Judge Ross at Work in City Court
Setting Cases Before Judge
Speer Today.
All the courts are in full blast and the
mills of justice are grinding again.
The November term in the superior
court was opened this morning by Judge
W. H. Felton, who took up the civil docket.
The civil docket for this term is the
lightest that has been before the court for
the las-t twenty years, and only unimpor
tant ca&fe? are on the boa-d for this week.
Owing to the absence t.f the solicitor
general it Atlanta in attendance on the
supreme where the c.x«e es a. B.
Tiv'ior is being heard, the grand jury did
not go into session this mo-u’ng, .but will
receive- the charge of the julje tomorrow
an’ will ccmmence tie work of the No
vember term.
In the .city court Judge Ross took up a
number of criminal eases of an unimpor
tant nature, and will be kept busy for
some days on this work.
Judge Ross will remain on the bench
as judge of this court until January 1,
1898, When he will give place to Judge
Nottingham.
The term of the clerk of the court, Mr.
R. H. Smith, does not expire until Sep
tember 1, 1899, so that no change may be
looked for until that time if at all. -as it is
more than probable that Mr. Smith will
receive the strong endorsejnent of every
member of the bar In this county. He has
made a most efficient and courteous clerk
and both he and his assistant, Mr. Will
Ross are deservedly popular with the
members of the 'bar.
Judge Emory Speer occupied the bench
in the United States court this morning
and made arrangements for the docket for
the term. i

WHAT MAKES PROSPERITY?
The Surrounding Counties Are inte J ested in
Bibb's Election.
We have already published the volun
tary certificates of the merchants and
leading business men in Upson, Dooly and
Houston counties certifying that prohibi
tion had not only not injured their busi
ness, but benefitted it.
>As an evidence that our neighboring
county of Jones is interested we quote the
following from the Jones County News:
“Our people are growing more and more
interested in the prohibition contest that
is on in Macon. Stacks of Jones county
money fall into the tills of Macon's bars,
and it would be the interest of this county
for prohibition to win. That it will do so
is the earnest with of The News.”
If whisky and beer are the source of the
prosperity of Macon, surely that prosper
ity rests upon an unstable and deplorable
basis. Could anybody utter a grosser libel
on 25,000 intelligent anl virtuous people
gathered together in this community than
to say by word of mouth or printed line,
or CARTOON that it is to the liquor traf
fic that we owe our prosperity. Has the
liquor traffic made YOU rich?
MR. ELLIS’ BILL
For a Congressional Convention and What
He Says of It.
Atlanta Constitution.
Representative Roland Ellis, of Bibb,
who introduced a bill in the. house last
week providing for the holding of a con
stitutional convention, will probably make
the adoption of the meastfre the chief ef
fort of his legislative career in this ses
sion. and it could not have a more able
champion.
He -will have the active aid and co
operation, also, of many of the best mem
bers in both houses, for with every pass
ing year the demand for a new state con
stitution grows stronger. The bill was, at
the request of Mr. Ellis, sent to the gen
eral judiciary committee, but it is prob
able that it will later be transferred to the
committee on constitutional amendments,
of which body Mr. Ellis may in conse>-
quence be made chairman. At present he
is booked for the special judiciary, but an
exchange could easily be arranged.
In speaking of the chances of the meas
ure its author said last night:
“The figures showing the cost of amend
ments to the constitution, adopted and
proposed since the convention of. 1877
must demonstrate to the economical mind
the /wisdom of the passage of such a bill.
No less than four measures are now pand
ing before the general assembly which
may result in the submission of four
amendments of the constitution to the
people of Georgia. There are certain
measures and certain policies which ripen
with the years, and while our organic law
as contained in the constitution must re
main our legislative bed-rock, this people
should not stop its ears to this demand of
the times —to the cry of progress and civic
enlightenment. In my opinion no law of
ballot reform adequate to the requirements
of the conditions which envelop Georgia
can become operative except by radical
constitutional amendment. Fraud may be
prevented by legislative enactment, but if
the suffrage of the ignorant aqd the vicious
is to be excluded from the electoral arbi
trament of the questions which are fraught
with vital interest to a Caucasion com
munity the fundamental law of the land
as embodied in the constitution must fur
nish the power and point the way. This
is but one view which should find lodg
ment in the Chinking minds —there are
many appealing for consideration.”

Deadly Cancer
Cured at Last!
Do Not Give Up in De=
spair—There is Hope!
For ages it has been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and
those so unfortunate as to have
this dreadful affliction have con
sidered themselves beyond hope of
recovery. The doctors are ab
solutely unable to afford any re
lief, and the poor sufferer might
well consider himself on the way
to an early grave.
It is now easy to see why the
doctors have failed to cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis
directed. They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting out the sore or ulcer, known
as Cancer, the disease would be
gotten rid of, and the patient re
stored to health. But the cruel
knife accomplishes nothing, f<li
the Cancer promptly returns,and is
always more virulent than before.
It has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt, that Cancer is a blood disease,
and can not be cured by the surgeon’s
knife because the blood can not be cut
away.
“Several years ago my wife had an
ulcer on her tongue, which, though an
noying, was not regarded seriously at
first. It refused to heal and began to
grow, giving her much pain. Tiie doc
tors treated it for quite a while but I
PROVOSTGUARD
On Duty Again—News at
Camp Roe.
The provost guard is on duty again in
the cily today and several disorderly sol
diers were arrested this morning. The
guard was given a rest yesterday and
nothing of a serious nature occurred.
The work of examining the men prepara
tory to mustering them out was continued
this morning and it will occupy a greater
part of week. Some few of the men
have been turned down on account of
physical disability and will be sent to Fort
McPherson in Atlanta. They will have to
remain there until they get iwell.
Very few of the men will continue in
the service. All of them seem to have
enough of army life and are anxious to be
mustered out as soon as possible. It has
been stated that over four hundred men
of the First Georgia would apply for
transfers to the Second, which is to be re
tained in the service, but this report seems
to be untrue.
(Major Kenan said a few days ago that
in his opinion very few men would go to
the other regiment. (He said that while
it would Ibe better for many of the men,
they seemed tired and wanted to get out.
The soldiers have been keeping comfort
able for the past week. The camp has been
put in good condition and the tents are
very warm at night. Colonel Lawton says
that the regiment will be mustered out on
the 10th if possible. He is working hard
to get things in shape for the muster out,,
but other officers are inclined to think that
it will be the 16th before the men are
given their discharges.
The paymaster is expected here this
week. He has been notified of the amount
that he will have to pay out, and will pay
the men off on the day that they are dis
charged. The privates will in all prob
ability receive between SSO and S6O. The
officers will receive their same pay. The
privates, sergeants and corporals will be
given mileage and ration money and this
of course will add to their salaries.
DOG SHOW PARADE
Attracted Considerable Attention on Streets
Today.
Prof. Gentry gave a parade of his dog
and pony show this morning and it is to
be said that the parade was the most
unique that has ever been seen in the city.
•The parade occupied about ten minutes
in passing and was witnessed toy large
crowds of people.
All the features the show weref 'in the
parade. The small ponies pulling the
large w-agons was something wonderful
and the happy family of monkeys afforded
great amusement to the crowds.
Prof. Gentry rode in a wagon drawn by
two of the smallest of his ponies.
The dogs were also out in full force. All
kinds of dogs, from the big New Foundlaud
to the rat terrier were seen.
The matinee this afternoon will no
doubt be attended by a large crowd.
The show comes to the city highly re
commended and it has no equal in the
country.
REGISTERING SLOWLY.
The Voters of the City Are Segistering Slow
for City Election.*
The voters of the city are registering
their names for the coming city election
very slowly. At noon today the total reg
istration for the week was 323 names.
The election is over a month off yet, but
the registrars say that they are tired of
doipg nothing and want the people to
hurry up.
The registrars are at the city hall from
7 o’clock in the morning until 8 o'clock at
night.
