GOV, BOIES
ISJDWNED
Testimony is Contradicted by
Two Governors of lowa
and a Senator.
ALLSUPERIOR COURT JUDGES
In the Entire State, Save One, Who
Was Impeached, and All the
Public Officials.
The Telegraph this morning brings out
the whisky catechism of ex-Governor
Boies, of lowa.
We have not time now to tell the whole
story of the true inwardness of the 'Boies
business. We append, however, the foL
following overwhelming testimony.
Governor Sherman, of lowa, says in his
•jneesage, 1886: “I am persuaded that there
is less drinking in lowa (under prohibi
tion) than formerly, less of crime which
grows out of the sale and use of liquor,
and therefore the law has been a source
of public and private good.”
Governor William Larabee. of lowa, says
February 3. ISS7: “I find in the cities and
counties where the prohibitory law is well
enforced, crime and police expenses fall off
wonderfully. Not a saloon is open in this
’he largest city in the state. The sheriff
ot this county told me a few days since
that he had spoiled his business by en
forcing the law. He also stated that he
was glad of it. Several of the judges have
recently told me that there was a marked
falling off in criminal business in their
•courts in consequence of the enforcement
of the law. There are several judicial dis
tricts without a single open saloon. If our
courts and sheriffs and constables would
<io their duty properly the saloon would
soon be completely driven out.”
lowa is divided into eighteen judicial
cin-uits. We have the published statement
of the judge of every circuit in the state.
Judge Sweeney, of the Twelfth district
says: "In eighty-five of ninety counties in
She state the law is enforced as well as
other criminal laws; closed sadoons in
nearly all parts of the state; drunkenness
decreased more than 90 per cent; little
criminal business; most jails empty for
months; pauperism very materially de
creased.”
Every judge in lowa gives a certificate
substantially similar to the above except
Judge Hayes, who was a whisky man and
who was impeached in the state legisla
ture.
If the whisky men will furnish 3 few of
the dollars with which they are paying the
taxes of negroes in order to control this
election we will be delighted to give to the
public the certificates of all the other
judges of the superior courts.
Senator James F. Wilson, of lowa, said
in a published letter dated October 9th,
1890: “It gives me pleasure to be able to
eay that in every desirable aspect of the
case prohibition has been beneficial to
lowa.”
J. F Kennedy, secretary of the lowa
Board of Health, said in a published letter
of the same date: “In all respects our peo
ple have been greatly benefitted."
G. H. (Hill, superintendent of the State
Lunatic Asylum, says “Tho prohibitory
law has proved to be a great blessing to |
the citizens of our comriionwealth.”
C. F. Williams, chaplain of the state
penitentiary says: “The business of mak
ing criminals fell off at a remarkable
rapid rate immediately following the pas
sage of the prohibition bill.”
Friends Saloonatics, trot out another
victim. We are hungry for such food as
you furnish us.
CIRCUS DID NOT PLAY.
Was a Miserable Evening and Crowd Was
Small.
The cir.cus left town last night w’ithout
giving a performance and one of tlhe high
much-amucks said that Sam Jonese was
the only one man in the United States
|wbo could draw a bigger crowd than a
circus.
The perfarmance in the afternoon was
fairly well attended only. About three
thousand people found seats in a tent
that would seat 15,000.
The consequences was that the manage
ment was somewhat disappointed.
The rain continued during the after
noon and in the evening the wind changed
and It was cold and damp. The circus
management concluded not to give a per
formance. They turned away a few hun
dred people who had trudged through the
mud to the park.
The race track at the park has been
badly torn up but it is the intention of the
street car company to put it in order
again.
ACME MALT TONIC.
The Great Liquid Food for People Who Are
Weak.
The Acme Malt Tonic made by the Acme
Brewing Company is one of the finest flesh
and muscle building tonics ever manufac
tured.
One would be surprised to learn the
number of ladies in .Macon and elsewhere
who keep it on hand all the time. It has
become as indispensable as camphor and
paregoric. When the average lady begins
to lose flesh and go into a decline she sim
ply begins to drink Acme .Malt Tonic and
in a few days her system is built up again.
Nursing mothers find in it a never fail
ing means of increasing their milk sup
ply. It not only builds up and strengthens
their own system but gives vitality and
strength to the. baby thereby warding off
diseases and in many instances saving the
life of the baby.
Acme Malt Tonic is delivered at the
homes of patrons in Macon at $3.00 per
crate of two dozen bottles and a rebate of
15 cents per dozen is allowed for return,
of the bottles.
JOCKEY CLUB.
Autumn Meeting Began Today at Benning’s
Track.
By Associated Press.
Washington. Nov. 11. —The autumn
meeting of the Washington Jockey Club
begins at the Benning's track Saturday
and the present expectation is that al
most every stable of any prominence now
in training will be represented.
President S. S. Howland says the meet
ing promises to ‘be the most successful in
the history of the organization, an unusu
ally large number of racing people being
expected to attend from New York. It
will continue until the 26th inclusive, and
will close the legitimate racing season of
the east. Many of the stables will go from
here to New' Orleans.
Quite a number of the horses will win
ter here. The Benning track is considered
one of the best wintering points in tha
country. An interesting program of flat
and jumping races has been prepared. The
club will recognize the growing desire for
long distance events by giving a race on
Thanksgiving Day at 2% mile, a revival
of the old Washington cup race, a feature
of the sport at the old Ivy City track.
About three hundred horses are now at
the track. * J ’. J CBI
HAYE LOCATED •
CORPSHOSPITAL
Will Be in the Wolff and Haop
Building on Fourth
Street,
WHOLE BUILDING TAKEN
And Will Be Used—lt is Now Being
Arranged and Will Be Ready
in a Few Days.
The Wolff & Happ building has been
rented by the government as a hospital for
the First army corps. The contract was
closed yesterday and the officers and men
have ,been hard at work since yesterday
afternoon getting the building in readi
ness.
Seven large army wagons have been used
all during the day hauling drugs from the
depot to the building and the ground floor
now resembles a wholesale drug store.
The whole building will be used. The
four upper stories will be used as wards
and four hundred cots will be put in at
once.
On the ground floor there will be the
offices and dining room and the basement
will be used as a kitchen and store room.
The hospital will be W'ell equipped and will
be in charge of Major Hegg, chief Tur
geon, and General McKee's staff for the
present.
No sick men will be brought from Camp
Hamilton or Knoxville and the surgeons
will have comparative!}’ an easy time for
quite a while. The building has been
given a thorough cleaning and is now in
good shape.
As soon as the Third regiment of en
gineers arrives, the men of the First
Georgia regiment will be relieved of doing
provost guard duty. A company of the
engineers will be on duty until the arrival
of the other troops, and it is then prob
able that at least two companies will be
kept on.
The headquarters of the provost guard
will be in the Johnson & Harris building,
which has been fitted up for that purpose.
The city will wear a warlike appearance
in a few days.
The Third regiment of engineers of the
First army corps will arrive in the city
tomorrow morning. The regiment left
Camp Hamilton at Lexington this morn
ing at 8 o’clock, and will, in all probabil
ity arrive here at about that time tomor
row.
The regiment will be camped at Oemul
gee Park and will be in the brigade of
General Compton. The camp has been put
in readiness and the soldiers will only
have to put up their tents and erect mess
halls on their arrival.
The engineer regiment is the youngest
regiment in the service, having been the
last to ; be mustered in. It was recruited
from all parts of the country, and in it is
a company of Atlanta men. Several Au
gusta boys are also enlisted In the regi
ment. It consists of twelve companies
and has about 1,300 men. Every man in
the regiment is required to lx; a mechanic
of some kind, and the regiment is one of
the hardest worked in the service. The
pay of the engineers is more that the reg
ulara infantrymn. The privates are di
vided into two classes. The first grade
privates receive about $22.50 per month
and the second grade S2O. The sergeants
draw on an average of $40,000 each.
General Bates said to a reporter of The
MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11 rßsb
News last night that no more troops would
arrive here until Wednesday. He. said,
however, that both brigades would be in
camp by Saturday.
The camp ground at Ocmulgee Park has
been completed and is in excellent shape.
The engineers are still working on the
Huff place site and will have it in shape
by Monday. The sinks have been dug and
the shrubbery is now being cleaned off.
Captain Hardee, who has had the work
in charge, has almost completed his work
of staking off the grounds for the location
of the different regiments. This is done
so that the troops will have no trouble in
finding their place on their arrival.
The water main will be completed by
Saturday and as soon as it is completed
pipes to the company streets which have
been laid off, Will be put in.
Everything is getting in shape rapidly
and the troops will be here by next Sat
urday.
General Wilson has decided to let the
Seventh cavalry remain in Huntsville and
that will only give the city six regiments
numbering about seven hundred men, all
told.
General (Bates will establish his head
quarters in camp next week. He is in the
city at present, but will go in camp upon
the arrival of the troops.

AMERICAN INVESTORS

Mexico City, Nov. 11.—Congress has re

importance of the business and the capital
invested. It is provided that companies
organized under this law shall be reliev
ed from federal taxation during the life of
the privilege and that the material re
quired in new industries shall be import
ed free of duties. The old law made
$250,000 the minimum amount of capital
required to enjoy these immunities, but
the new -law reduces the amount to
