GEN. ffl Lffl'S SECOND
RAID IM THIS CITY.
Commander of file First firmy Corps Has Arrived
and Will Have His Headquarters for me
Present at Hotel Lanier.
A.
TALKS 10 NEWS
About the Past and the Pres
ent— He is Glad to be
Here Again,
HAD MAUI FRIENDS HERE
Whom He Remembers -Thinks that
this Will Be a Most Excellent
Camp Site Soldiers Will
Begin to Arrive by
End of Week.
General Wilson and staff arrived this
morning at 2.06 over the Southern. The
oi fi< irs came in unexpectedly and took
th* city by surprise. The officers went at
on., io the Hotel Lanier, the same place
that Gen.-ral Wilson had his headquarters
thirty-three years ago.
General Wilson was seen by a reporter
of Tie- News this morning and was asked
of his former experiences In Macon.
General Wilson is a pleasant gentleman,
and when approached by the reporter he
Jsettled himself in chair and said: "Fire
laway, young man,” as if he were In the
ihablt of bring interviewed every day.
The grticral gave a 'brief outline of his
v sit here thirty-three years ago, which
is as follows:
"I (■■. me to Macon about thirty-three
y< ~r-> ago in command of the cavalry corps
of ihe military division of the Missippi. I
found Maeon a village of about 7,000 peo
i Ic. but on my return this time I find a
beauHful and prosperous city.
‘1 rime ><rt about April 19th and ro
m.-iiib I until December. During that time
fi had my headquarters right here in the
hotel, which has been changed somewhat
in appearance. Really I do not think that
it ie kept as well as It was when Iwas
jlicri last. The difference is it is kept by
some one else now, while I kept, it myself
before.”
"How did you find the people when you
were here last?” he was asked by the re
porter.
'Very pleasant, indeed. They seemed to
despise mo at first, but that was soon
overcome. I made some fast friends among
t!u people of Macon. I suppose you know
that Jefferson Davis was brought, here Just
after his capture. He was kept, hero at
the Hotel Dinler for about five hours and
was then sent to Atlanta.”
’How many troops wore under your com
mand. general?”'
".Vliout 17.n0n. Quite a difference in the
number that will be In Macon this time.
My troops were camped out around the
city. and some of them were stationed al
Oemulgee Park, where General Compton’s
command will be stationed.
"I found Macon a very pleasant place to
•stay during my last visit and I hope to
ifji'd it so this time.”
"Have you any idea ns to when, the
Itroops will come hen'?” he was asked.
"Yes. but General Batea can tell you
more about that than I can. I will go
over the city this afternoon and will
iproliably decide on a place for my head
iquarters. By the way, this paper here,
(the Macon Telegraph, isn’t it the old
Maeon Messenger?”
He was informed that it was and he
continued:
“This paper was being published when
I was here and on my arrival the editor
discontinued publication. I gave him per
mission to resume it. however.”
It was the general’s breakfast time and
.is he arose to go he said to the reporter:
1 “Young man. you are well up on milita
ry affairs, but you arc terribly rusty on
(history. 1 would advise you to read up on
history Just a little."
General Wilson will remain here while
the troops are stationed here. Ho said he
had no idem when the troops 'would leave
for Cuba and all the information he
in regard to the matter was from the
newspapers.
He will probably take the Park resi
dence as his headquarters.
WORK ON CAMP SITES.
Oemulgee Park Has Already Been Nearly
Completed.
The camp site at Oemulgee park has al
most been completed. The sinks are being
dug today and everything will be in readi
ness by tomorrow.
Work was begun this morning on the
Huff place and the officers hope to have
it in condition in about four days.. A large
force of hands were put to work in the
site this morning and the officers are
rushing things in the fastest possible man
ner.
\lready the water main is being laid
from Vineville to the Huff place and the
water company hopes to have it completed
by the end of the week. The main will be
run to the laboratory and will be a per
manent thing. It will be good news to the
residents of Vineville as they have been
clamoring for a water main for some time.
Captain Smoke, of the quartermaster’s
department, has employed a large number
of men and has them all hard at work.
The shrubbery on the Huff place is being
cut down and piled up and will be burned
in a few days.
Captain Hardee has charge of the en
gineers and he is putting the men through.
He 1 as made rapid strides toward getting
the eamp in readiness in the past ten days
nnd he said last night that he would have
everything in shape by Saturday. The
troops will begin to come in about that
time and on their arrival they will find
that they will only have to pitch their
tents, as everything else will be in condi
tion.
The white troops will arrive first, and
will be camped at Oemulgee park. The
negro regiments will be In camp at the
Huff place and the two brigades will be
< amped nearly two miles apart. This will
prevent the troops from coming together
as would be the case if they were camped
side by side.
The people will have an opportunity of
witnessing dress parades every dav, as
soon as the troops arrive. While !t is true
that the soldiers will be in winter quarters
:h» officers find it necessary to drill the
troops to prevent them from becoming
disorderly.
Everything is now working smoothly
and the troops will begin to arrive here in
a few days.
Superintendent Epperson, of the (Central
railroad, went out to the camp site this
mormr.g to arrange for building a side
track to the camp. This will be done at
once so that supplies may be gotten to the
troops without any trouble.
General Wilson will establish his head
quarters in a few days and will issue or
ders governing the whole corps.
COLEY FLEWELLYN BOUND OVER
Negro Who Stabbed Soldier Friday Night is
Sent to Jail.
_ Coley Flewellen, the negro who stabbed
I George Graham, a soldier, a few nights
ago in front of Cassidy's bar, was given
a hearing before Judge Freeman’ this
mornMkr. He was bound over to the su
perior court under a SSOO bond on the
charge of stabbing. Will Smith, the negro
who was arrested yesterday on the charge
of stealing SSO was dismissed.
Albert Chase wgp tried on the charge of
being drunk. He plead not guilty and said
that he was perfectly sober all the timer
Judge Freeman came to the conclusion
however, that the man had been drunk
and imposed the usual fine of $2.50. .
it Phillip Bateman was fined $25 and cost
for spitting in another man’s face.

MACON NMWS TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8
CANDLER WILL
. RE-ORGANIZE
His Forces and the Officers
Must Either Come Back
or Resign.
STATE MILITIA IS NEEDED
I
And the Officers of the Regiments,
Now United States Volunteers,
Must Resign or Come Back.
The Georgia state militia will be en
tirely reorganized on December Ist. An
order was issued by Governor Candler
through Acting Adjutant beneral Obear,
yesterday, limiting all leaves of absence
of officers of the Georgia volunteers to
November 31st.
The order affects nearly every officer in
the three regiments of the United States
volunteers which were organized in this
state. Almost every officer in the First
and Second regiments, when these were
organized, was taken from the state mili
tia. In the Third regiment there are
about twenty-three officers who now hold
commissions under the' state.
All officers absent from their commands
after December Ist without authority will
be discharged from the state’s service and
their places filled.
The order issued yesterday is as follows:
“General Orders No.lll.7 —1. Leaves of ab
sence granted officers of the volunteer
forces on the active list for the®puropse,
■of entering the United States volunteer
service are hereby limited to the 31st in
stant. Officers intending to remain in the
United States service after that date should
tender their resignation of state commis
sion direct to this office.
“2. Officers absent from their command
on and after December 1, 1898, without
authority will be discharged from the
military service of the state and their
places filled as required by law.
“By command of the governor:
“WILLIAM G. OBEAR,
“Acting Adjutant General.”
When the order came from Washington
for the organization of two regiments in
this state, the most available officers in
the Georgia volunteers were chosen by ex-
Governor Atkinson as officers for the
United States volunteers.
The officers for the new regiments being
taken away from the Georgia militia,
■their places were vacated and have never
(been filled. A reorganization will now
take place and the vacancies which now
exist will .be refilled.
Acting Adjutant General Obear, in
speaking of the’order yesterday said:
“We are anxious to get the Georgia mi
litia back on its old footing. A large num
ber of the officers are now in the United
States service and cannot be of any use'
to the state. It is expected that by De
cember Ist one of the Georgia regiments
will be sent to Cuba. The others, if two
•are retained, will be housed for the win
ter, and at most there is no probability of
the officers being mustered out of the ser
vice until next summer.
“The length oh time which the volun
teer regiments .will be kept in the service
of the nation will be known by December
Ist, and the officers will have ample time
to decide whether they wish to keep their
places In the Georgia militia or remain in
the service of the United States.
“About two-thirds of the officers in the
■three regiments of 'Unjted States volun
teers organized in this state are from the
Georgia militia and their places must be
filled either by themselves or by others
before the military force- of the state can
again be effective.
“The privates from the ranks of the.
Georgia militia who entered the United
States volunteers were discharged at the
time they left the state service. This was
provided for at the time, but the order
issued today will affect the commissioned,
officers.”
The number of officers who will remain
in the service is not known. The consoli
dation of the First and Second regiments
of United States volunteers from this state
may throw a large number of the com
missioned officers out of the service and
if they so desire they may retain their
commissions in the Georgia militia.

MYSTERIOUS NOISES LOCATED.
Terrific Fight on the Streets of Macon at
Night.
Many of the citizens of Macon have been
recently alarmed and distressed by terrific
noises heard in the streets at. night. These
unearthly sounds have more nearly re
sembled the martial music of the battles
of Kilkenney cats than any other noise to
which they could be compared. But they
have been far more unearthly and more
uncanny than any earthly sounds which
have yet smitten upon the tympanum of
the mortal ear. These vibrations upon the
peaceful slumber of the mid-night air
have become so aggravating as to excite
numerous inquiries as to the cause of this
perturbing element in the city’s repose.
Shrewd investigators have been enlisted
in the inquiry anfl the trouble <ias been
finally traced to its source.
It is this:
The anti-prohibitionists in the- present
campaign have rested their whole case
upon two arguments.
Ist. That prohibition will ruin the trade
of the city by driving whisky away.
2nd. That under prohibition more whis
ky will be drunk in Maeon than ever be
fore.
In the day time these two arguments
have avoided collision by special arrange
ment that one would go up and down one
sidewalk, while the other would occupy
the opposite side of the street. It has also
(been arranged between the two that when
one would enter the front of a saloon the
other would go out of the rear.
But when night comes on and “the
Prince of the poweri of darkness” who is
the other of these conflicting arguments
sheds his sable mantle over the scene, it
is impossible for these, two contradictory
propositions to keep out of each other’s
way. They fall afoul of each other in the
congenial darkness and proceed to do each
other up according to the most approved
pugilistic style. It is not unnatural that
the noise in emanating from such a con
flict should alarm the citizens of the com
munity.
At last accounts, each had the other by
the throat and each had gouged out its
opponent’s eyes. They will probably an
nihilate each other in the next ten days;
and Peace will reign again in Warsaw.

“During the day.” continued Mr. Tesla,
his hand still on the lever, “we should
steer our course by keeping the two stan
dards in line, but at night we should de
pend on the electric lights which would, of
icourse, be scree nd, so as not to be visi
ble to the enemy,” and at a signal both
tiny bulbs were illuminated.
“Now we will assume that the boat has
arrived in Striking distance of the vessel
to be destroyed and the bulb in the bow
will serve to show that the explosion has
taken place.” As he spoke he touched the
lever again and the light flashed and was
extinguished.
“Imagine, if you can,” said Mr. Teela,
as he went back to his desk, “what an ir
resistable instrument of destruction we
have in a torpedo boat thus controlled,
which we can operate day or night on the
surface and •lelow it, and from any dis
tance which may be desired. A ehip thus
assailed would have no possibility of es
cape.
“I can apply this system of control to
any type of vessel to de destroyed. At the
distance of 100 feet the explosion of 200
‘pounds of dynamite will exert a shatter
ing effect on a battleship, but there is no
reason why we should not load a vessel
with 200 er 300 tons, or even more, of dy
namite which, exploded even a mile away,
would raise a wave which would over
whelm the biggest sh’ip ever built.”

'Continuing his description, Mr. Tesla
said:
“As to that part of my invention which
involves the production of suitable waves
or radiations and 'the conveying of the
same to a remote receiving aparatus capa
ble of being operated or controlled by their
influence, it may be carried out in various
ways, which are at the present time more
or less understood. For instance, I may
pass through a conducting path, prefera
bly enclosing a large area, a rapidly vary
ing curren't and by electro magnetic in
duction of the same effect a circuit carried
by a moving body.
“In this case the'action at a given dis
tance will be the stronger the larger the
area enclosed by the conductor and the
greater the rate of change of the current.
# lf the latter were generated in the ordinary
way, the rate of change, and consequently
the distance at which the action will bo
practically available for the present pur
pose would be very small, but by the
adoption of such means as I have devised
—'that is, either by passing through the
conducting path currents of a specially
designed high frequency alternator or
better still, ‘at those of a strongly charged
condenser —every right of change be ob
tained, and the effective range of the in
flunce has exetnded over a vast area and
by carefully 'adjusting 'the circuit on the
moving body so as to 'be in exact electro
magnetic synchronism with the primary
disturbances this influence may be utilized
at a great distance.
“Another way 'to carry out my invention
is to direct 'the currents or discharges of
a high frequency machine* or condenser
(through a circuit no terminal of which is
connected directly or indirectly with the
ground and the other with a body, prefer
ably of a large surface and at an elevation.
In this case, if the circuit on the moving
body be similarly arranged or connencted,
differences of a potential of the terminals
of the circuit either by induction or elec
trostatic induction are produced and 'the
same object is attained.
“Still 'another way Is to pass the cur
rents simply through the ground by con
necting both the terminals of the source
of high frequency currents to earth at dif
ferent and remote points and to uitlize
the currents spreading through the ground
for affecting the receiving circuit proper
ly placed and 'adjusted.
“Finally, I may avail myself in carry
ing out my invention of electrical oscilla
tions which do not follow any particular
conducting path, but propagate in straight
lines through space of rays, waves, pulses
or disturbances of any kind, capable of
•bringing the mechanism of the moving
body in action from a distance and at the
will of the operator by their effect upon
suitable controlling devices.”

SAM SMALL
Addressed the Meeting at the Prohibition
Tent Last Night.
Rev. Sam Small addressed t'he meeting
at the prohibition tent last night in the
absence of .Mr. Jones, who was out oif the
city. The tent was filled with people and
there were many who were turned away
on 'account of not ‘being able to secure
seata.
Mr. Small spoke on high license last
night ' and brought out some strong
points.
He began his speech by paying the may
or and eauncil a high tribute. He said
'that he had known the mayor for many
years and that he had the highest ’■•egard
for him, and while the mayor was not in
accordance with his views, he would make
no attack upon him nor the council. He
said be knew the men in the council and
tn at be les-pected them, but said that they
were ti liable to be mistaken .is anyhol}
else. t
Mr. Small then took up the license ques
tion. He eaid that high license was a high
lie with no sense 'to it. He made some
strong argument's in favor of prohibition
and his audience was interested through
out his' speech.
He said last night that he would chal
lenge any of the whisky men in the city
to a debate and that if two-thirds of the
people did not side with him that he
would never make another speech for pro
hibition.
He attacked the Acme Brewery Compa
ny and said that he dared any man to
Show where the brewery toad brought any
prosperity to the city.
He said that if the city wanted to get
.$29,000 annually without getting it from
■the saloons that 'they could do so by rais
ing hogs. He ridiculed the idea of rais
ing the license and said that high license
was only an invention of the devil and
politicians, with which to make buzzard
dollars to lay on the eyes of the corpse to
make ft look respectable.
Mr. Small said that the Atlanta people
'when they voted to have saloons again
would admit that the election was a
(bought one, and that W. A. Hemphill, E.
P. Chamberlin, George Hillyer and other
prominent citizens of Atlanta would swear
to it.
He gave the whisky people a dose and
said that they all ought to be terracotta •
dogs in a dollar store.
The services tonight will be conducted
by Mr. Jones, and he will, an usual, have
a large crowd in attendance. The campaign
is warming up and everything now points
to a warm election.

VERY FEW
Os the First Georgia Men Will
Go to the Second.
Very few men of the First Georgia will
remain in the service after they are mus
tered out. A News reporter made a can
vass of the different battalions yesterday
and it was found that not over seventy
men of the First will apply for transfers
to the Second.
This will no doubt prove to be sad news
to the officers of the Second as they were
counting on about four hundred men from
each regiment to remain in the service
and to recruit the remaining two hundred
throughout the state.
The men, however, say that they have
seen enough of army life and very few of
them wish to continue in the service of
Uncle Sam. It is probable that more men
would remain in the service if they could
be mustered out and be allowed to reinlist.
All of the soldiers wish to receive the>r
full pay of mileage and ration money and
if they are not discharged they will only
receive their regular pay.
Each of the privates will draw about
S6O when they are finally discharged.
Captain Clarke is still busy at work and
will be the happiest man in the fegiment
when his work is completed.
The provost guard captured several men
last night and hustled them off to camp.
The guard has been of good assistance to
the policemen and have prevented several
conflicts between the officers and the sol
diers. The guard will be kept on until
the regiment is mustered out, which will
be about the 16th.
Colonel Lawton says that he will try to
get. the men out as soon as possible. It
will take until Monday to get everything
in shape for the final muster out.

It is proven to be all
wool by absolute test. The
color is right ami will stay
right. The garments are
sewed with silk and no sio
or sl2 is better made. It lias
taken hard thinking and plan
ning to make such a suit in
fall weight and keep the
price so little.
It is a suit to judge this
clothing store by. Our finer
grades at

are equally as cheap con
sidering the quality.

Overcoats
For three degrees of

the early autumn, good for
next spring. Medium for the
particular, careful-of-his
health man, who finds the
light not heavy enough and
the heavy too heavy. Heavy .
for the cold, bracing weather
when warmth and comfort
are the considerations.
