ARRESTEDJ PROVOSTS
Guard Had a Busy Time this Morning on the Arrival of the!
Regiment—At first the Affair Looked as if
it Might Be Serious,
TENTH IMMUNES I
ON THJ GROUND
Regiment Arrived Early this
Morning and is at the
Huff Place.
BIG RUSH IS COMING
And All the Soldiers Will Be Here a
Week from Now Bates Estab
lishes His Headquarters.
The Tenth Irnmunes have already begun
to raise trouble in the city. This morn
ing a party of fifteen negroes got of ths
train at the junction and proceeded to in
sjH.'Ct the city.
It did not take them long to imbibe to
fully of whisky and they then proceeded to
raise trouble. They went to Reeves’ store
•In South Macon and threatened to clear
out the place.
The peopl. In that neighborhood became
alarmed and the provost guard was noti
fied of the disturbance and thirty men un
der command of Lh'iitenant Bostow were
di-patched to the scene.
On their arrival they found the negroes
raising a terrible racket, and the guard
Immediately placed them under arrest.
The negroes had their side arms, consist
ing of a belt and a huge Krag-Jorgesen
bayonet, which in the hands of a mean
negro would prove a terrible weapon. They
were flourishing their bayonets around
and threatening to kill people when the
(guard came up.
The disorderly men were placed under
arrest and brought back to the city and
are now lock, d up at the headquarters of
the provost guard. They w'll be kept
third until they can be sent back to the
jeginu nt.
Another squad of the Tenth Irnmunes
raised a di turbance at Drew & Parker’#
wore in Vine villa this morning. The pro
vost guard was sent lor and about fifteen
of them 'were arrested. It seems that one
of them had some words with another
negro at the store and all of the soldiers
wanted to Join in the row.
The appearance of the provost guard
quieted them down however, and they
were all brought into the city.
About fifty of the negroes have been
■arrested this morning and the guard house
is full.
Th, people of the city arc becoming
alarmed at the disturbance this morning.
The officers say, however, that, the men
will be kept in order and that they will
give tile people no trouble.
•Macon is beginning to fill up with sol
diers. Never since the last coming of
General Wilson have so many soldiers
been in the city.
The Tenth Irnmunes arrived last night
and were carried out to the laboratory
•this morning where the equipments were
unloaded. This is the first of the colored
regiments to arrive.
By next week this time Macon will have
six regiments camped about the city and
the streets will be alive with blue coats
and brass buttons.
General Wilson has not yet moved his
headquarters from the Hotel banter and
It may be several days yet before the re
moval occurs.
General Bois has established temporary
headquarters in the Exchange Bank build
ing and he will probably remain there un
til 'the arrival of all of the regiments. He
will then establish his headquarters be
tween the two brigades.
A large line of army wagons were in the
city this morning from the camp at Oc
nnilgev park hauling supplies to the camp.
Several old citizens seeing the wagons
said that they reminded them of the time
when General Wilson was here before. The
wagons were covered with canvass and had
the "U. S.” on each side.
Very few of the negro soldiers have
been seen in the city today as they have
been very busy arranging their camp. To
day has been a rather bad day on the sol
diers as they have to work all during the
day In the rain. The negro troops that
came in early this morning are a fine
looking body of men. All of them are well
built and look as if they could stand any
thing.
The provost guard, which is now detail
ed from the regiment of Engineers has
made very few arrests since being on duty.
A company of eighty-nine men are kept
on duty all of the time and so far the best
of order has prevailed.
The adjutant general who has his office
In the Exchange Bank building, has been
ketpt very busy for the past few days.
There are numerous details that have to
be attended to and all of the officers are
kept busy and will be kept so until the
regiments are all in eamp.
1 ho ( herekee 1 lub will tender a german
to the army offk-ens in the city on Friday
evening at their club house and the occa
sion promises to be very swell.
General Bates says that all of his divis
ion will ,be in camp by next Wednesday.
He s:us that he does not know how long
the troops will remain here as he has re
ceived no orders from the war department
in regard to the -troops being sent into
Cuba.
Twenty-four hundred soldiers are sta
tioned hi Macon for the winter and when
the other regiments arrive, 6,500 will be
here.
1 he division hospital will be completed
by Saturday night. A large force of men
are kept at work there day and night. When
completed the hospital will be one of the
best equipped buildings in the country
Major Hegg. on General McKee's staff is
in charge and he is making rapid progress
with his work. He says that the hospital
fw ill easily accommodate 400 men.
FIRST GEORGIA
Will Certainly Muster Out by Tomorrow
Night.
Everything is in a state of expectancy
at Camp Roe and the members of the First
Georgia are making ready to go to their
homes.
The regiment will be mustered out on
Friday and by Saturday night every one
will be at his home.
The order from the war department rel
ative to mustering out troops requires
■that'five rolls be prepared, each roil con
taining the names of every man in the
regiment. The rolls are to be in the form
of a complete descriptive list, giving the
history and character of every man who
has ever been with the regiment, whether
iu* died in hospital, was discharged from
•
I service or is still in active service. Os the
I five rolls prepared two of them are re-
I tained by t£e mustering officers as a re
cord of their work, one is turned over to
I the officers of the regiment and is finally
i handed by them to the adjutant general of
the state and is kept as a matter of refer-
i ence and record in the archives of the
I capital. The last two rolls are taken by the
I paymasters who pays off the regiment be
j fore it is mustered out. One of the holls
I kept by the paymasters is sent to the pay
j master at Washington and the other is
kept as a receipt for the money they have
paid the regiment.
One of the peculiar customs of the army
and one that has saved the government
trouble in times past is that of discharg
ing every man from service who has ever
been with the regiment. When the com
mand is assembled to be mustered out the
rolls contain the names of all troops Who
have been with the regiment, whether they
have died in hospital, on the field of battle
or have left the regiment.
The missing have a right to a discharge
certificate as much so as the men in ac
tive service, and certificates of this kind
are always written out for the absent.
This is done in order to protect the gov
ernment in after years in case it is found
that the soldier who is certified to be
dead is found to be alive. He can in that
case claim all the salary coming to him to
the time of his reappearance. The precau
tion is taken also to prevent fraud from
being perpetrated on the government.
SECOND OHIO HERE.
I f
Came in Today at One O’clock Over the
Southern.
The Second Ohio regiment arrived in the
city this afternoon at 1 o’clock from
Knoxville, Tenn.
The regiment came in six sections over
the Southern. The regiment is in com
mand of Colonel Hunt, who will be in
command of the First 'brigade, he being
the ranking colonel.
There are about 1,200 men in the regi
ment. The trains are now at Ocmulgee
park unloading. The camp of the Second
Ohio will be alongside that of the Engi
neers. The men are having just such a
time as the Engineers had on their ar
rival.
Everything will be gotten in shape by
'tomorrow, however. Drills will be com
menced Saturday.

LET US ALONE.
If we could have for mayor a Daisy Price
always.
Macon would keep a-humming the balance
of her days.
j It was he who started paving, the sewers
he put down.
I And if they wouldn't bother him he'd pave
all the streets in town.
But here comets pro-hi-bi-tion. with great
big hue and cry.
And says the town is ruined because she
isn't dry.
I They tried it in Atlanta (it weren’t for
long, you bet)'.
For the antis wouldn’t stand it and turned
it back to wet.
And for awhile Atlanta was going down
the hill,
And whiskey was a-running from every
mountain still
And. to the world, Atlanta was known as
high and dry.
But mountain stills and Griffin sold her
liquor on the sly.
And the same will be in Macon if the
prohis gain their end.
For dealers in Atlanta will plenty liquor
send.
The times are hard already and business
awful slow.
But what’ll it be later when the saloons’ll
have to go?
The dealers in Atlanta will struggle for
our trade.
And poor old sluggish Macon will res* t
j while in shade.
Then look well at your ticket, put in your
vote with care,
And bear in mind that Daisy Price is th<
man for our mayor.

BUSINESS
ISJUSINESS.
The Question to Be Settled on
Dec. Ist bv the Local Op
tion Election is
SHALI MACON MSB
Or Must the Central City of Georgia
Be Relegated to the Rear as a
Common Cross Road Village.
Disregarding the suspicion that this en
tire prohibition agitation is political, anc
that the question of morals is merely £
side issue with many of the leaders,
there is one thing that strikes the average
voter with considerable force.
It is noticed that wnenever Mayor Col
lier or Captain English, or any other gen
tleman who has had experience witm pro
hibition and Its inevitable results, present
their views for publication, they are im
mediteiy, jumped ou by tae proaibinor
leaders and branded as “interlopers and
meddlers.’’ And yet Uiose same ieadert
these holier-than-thou and better-man
you people send out ot town and hire such
men as Sam Jones, the colored Bisaot-
Turner, Doctor Lee and others of the same
kidney to advocate and boost tneir cause.
Are taey not ’’interlopers and meddlers '”
just as much ana mure so than Captain
itriglish or Mayor Collier .' And wuai e
tile language used by mem? In an mat

sacred puiplt: “1 Had ramer stuck in
me lowest uawdy House in Macuu anu rur
msh VHe supplies io run it man to u»,u
stock in a brewery,” and “il I was iuh
mng a soap iaetory in nell and a corpse
ox one of these soldiers was noating by
I'd refuse to take it no matter now mucD
1 needed grease, ' and “you old sow mat
drinks malt tonic,” and "you little pig
eon-toed, poodle-headed devil, you tails
about none of your business; there is not
enough of you co make stink; if thans. God
I don’t live in Macon,” and “this town is
full of cussers; what do you want to cuss
for, you old dirty mourned dog, you; your
language would pukt? a dug; 1 mean it
would pdke you,” and various similar ex
pressions, many Os which, according to tae
papers, “cannot be printed in tnese col
umns.”
This is a sample of the language used
by the prohi interloper in the pulpit—in
t’ne pulpit, mind you, and some ot it in
the presence of young boys and girrs. And
yet Mayor Collier and Captain English,
because in polite language merely gave a
statement of facts as to the results oi
prohibition, are branded as “interlopers
and meddlers.”
Does it not strike the average voter that
the prohi. leader in Macon must have little
hope of his cause when he must hire such
interlopers and meddlers to use such
choice language in the pulpit, and from
the pulpit blackguard those of our citizens
as are so base and so low and so ignorant
as to disagree with him as to what is best
for Macon?
The average voter cannot pause long in
determining who is 'the “interloper and
meddler” —the gentleman who simply pre
sents an array of plain facts in language
that cannot bring a blush, or the hired
professional expounder who slanders our
people in the language of the slums.
Now let the average voter settle in his
own mind whether the city in which .
makes his living, in which he has his
home, will thrive best under prohibition
with suc-h apostles as Sam Jones, Bisnop
Turner, Doctor Lee, and our home product
of the same stripe.
If the average voter is a business man,
he must take a business view <of the sit
uation. He must ask himself who is the
most interested in this question, the inter
loper and meddler or the business man
and 'the man whose income is derived
from the brick and mortar stores and resi
dences he owns? What affects the busi
ness man affects the landlord, for their
interests are identical, and whatever af
fects either affects, injures and hurts the
city of Macon, and what affects the city
affects the suburbs and country at large,
because the suburbs and country are more
or less dependent on the city, and what
ever affects all these must necessarily af
fect every working man of every class
and affect every interest and every branch
of business on down the line until it even
reaches the church platter, and the onlv
increase in the church black list, which
will be so crowded with names of poor
delinquents that it can serve as a first
class directory.
A reduction of business must follow
prohibition, and this reJuctiJn goes
through every business, no matter how
.small, and did it ever occur to you '.hat t
is business that makes the town? Take
away the business from a town of any
pretensions and see what will become of
it. That being so, the -whole question in
a nutshell:
IS PROHIBITION BUSINESS?
The plain, unvarnished, unbiased, un
prejudiced, unpolitical, unfanatical facts
prove that
PROHIBITION IS NOT BUSINESS, and
neither does it prohibit, but on the other
hand, when you substitute PROHIBITION
for BUSINESS in a town you kill it, and
that’s the plain English of it, no matter
how much Sam Jones, Bishop Turner and
Doctor Lee may say you don’t.
Business men, real estate owners, work
ing men, all who depend in any manner
on the trade and business of Macon tor
your bread and meat and living, you are
called upon to decide by your ballot
Whether your business will suffer, your
property depreciate, or if you must pull
up stakes and hunt work elsewhere. . The
mayor and council, doing what they con
ceived to be their duty to keep down
strife between our citizens, and what they
honestly believed to be for the best in
terests of the city of Macon, tried to avert
this state of affairs for you by requesting
the leaders of the movement to call off the
dogs of war and to declare peace but the
leaders wanted war and war they must
have The peace proposition was refused.
It now remains for the business man, the
property owner, the working man and
every man who loves Macon and wants to
stay' here and see her prosper, to march
to the polls on the Ist of December and
snow under the attempt to make a back
number of Macon, to vote against prohi
bition, so that the Central City of Georgia
may continue to prosper and keep her
place among the leading cities. And let
those who want to see the grass spring up
between the bricks of our paved streets,
who want to see the “to rent” card on
hundreds of stores and houses, and who
want a Chanse of residence, vote with the
agitators and interlopers. Sam Jones, in
his choice Christian language, say’s there
is only a thin crust between Macon and
hell, and as there are some who believe
strongly in -what Sam says, they should
avail themselves of the twenty odd trains
leaving Macon daily and hunt for a town
of their liking. There are a few. but only
a few. who are conservative in their ad
vocacy and who are believed to be con
scientious in their opinions as to prohi
bition, but if the searchlight of truth was
thrown upon the majority of these leaders
there would be found many without whom
Macon would be much better off.
The leadipsr business men and property
owners of Macon claim that Macon will
suffer and be made desolate under prohi
bition. and they say so in plain but choice
language.
Sam Jones. Bishop Turner, and Doctor
Lee and others say. in language unfit for
publication, that it will not.
Take your choice.

PROHIBITION
, BAND WAGON
i “Denials and Facts” as Pub
lished by the Anti’s Were
Minus the Facts,
PUT THEIR FOOT 111 IT,
a Again the Prohi’s Show that the In
tended Vesuvius Bon- b Was
Simply a Fizzle.
A-n article appeared In the Telegraph
>1 of this morning under the significant pa
a renthesis “Communicated,” with soartling
headlines. It was meant to be a regular
:e Vesuvius bomb in the Prohibition camp
Though an employe of the Telegraph
stated that he wrote it, we suppose it was
fathered and paid for by the antis.
The article in question was headed “De-
- nials and Facts.” It was in reply to a de
_ nial published in yesterday’s Telegraph by
u the Prohibitionists of a statement that
they were paying the taxes of all -who
s would promise to vote for prohibition. The
statement was made in the Atlanta Jour
nal of the 14th that “it is openly said by
both sides that everybody will begiven an
p opportunity to vote, as the taxes are being
e paid wherever this stands in the way.”
This was officially so far as it applied to
the Prihobitionists. The ’Antis are sensi
u tive on this point. They could not deny
s the charge and so were peculiarly anxious
.1 to disprove the square denial of the Prohi
r bitionists. Hence in this article of today
l they make a great parade of a band-wagon
ll ; load of men brought in by Mr. Lee and
■ others to register. They grow hilarious
over this evidence that the Prohibitionists
did on “the last day” what they have
IJL been doing openly and shamelessly every
- day to the disgrace of decent citizenship,
e But they were in too great haste. They
y should have investigated their “facts” be
d fore venturing into print. Read the follow
■ Ling statement:
- Macon, Ga.. Nov. 16, 1898.—As supcrin
t tendent of the Southern Phosphate Works,
j I employe sixty men. Fifty-five of these
s are colored men. Day before yesterday
s Rev. J. W. Lee visited the works in the
r course of his canvass cf the city, and dur
-1 ing his visit twenty-eight of the men ex
pressed their intention to vote for Prohibi-
e tion. Some of them had paid their taxes,
others said they had not. I offered to loan
i the money to any of those who wanted to
a pay their tax and register, providing they
ii would pay it back, but stated at the time
si that I would pay no man’s tax for the
isake of his vote, as it is contrary to my
a convictions.
1 On yesterday one of my white employes.
Mr. Dye, who wanted to register himself,
(. 'went with the men -and paid their taxes,
e turned each man’s receipt over to him..’
ti and reported the accounts to me to be set
li tied by them. The wagon in which they
a went was furnished -by Mr. Lee in order
3 that the men might be kept from work as
T tshort a time as possible.
Yours respectfully,
Q William Wellington Franks,
j That is the whole gist of the bomb that
- -was going to blow the prohibition camp ■
e into splinters. Mr. Franks is an honorable
1 business man who does 'business on the
r square. Take notice, he loaned money to
those of his hands who wanted- it and
s would pay -it back, but refused to pay
3 taxes as a -consideration for votes. Put
x that over against the course openly pur-
3 sued by the henchmen of the whisky traf
t fie. He gave each man his tax receipt.
Put that -against the stacks of tax receipts
> (pocketed by the whisky men and held as a
threat over their poor deluded victims.
He allowed his men to choose how they
j they wanted to pay their own taxes and
I register. Put that over against the meth
. ods being used by the Antis. Further
more, only two men out of that band
wagon load had to have their taxes paid,
and both of those will make an affidavit
- that they -borrowed the money of their own
Will. 'The rest had either paid or did pot
’ owe taxes. If any Anti can get -any com
; . ( flort out of that let them have it, fAr he
. needs it.
