JONES ON TOE NEWSPAPERS
Meeting for the Colored People Es
pecially, at the Tent Last Night
Was Made Decidedly Warnr.
night »■•>» a night of snsation at
tn<- i rohibitioo nt. Hon. Ihipont Guerry
th<‘ bail with an attack on the
rt< tho.l> employed by the anti-prohibitioh
workers.
He referred to the charge that the pro
hibit ionist* had paid the fines of the
voters who registered and were thought to
• be for the prohibition side.
"W. have ch.irg- d a crime against crim
inals,” he lid, "and they admit the truth
of if by not denying it, but they came back
and charge the same crime against us
and we deny it and prove that the charge
is false.
This a qu>xtion of prohibition against
low liccn.“< and the low place* licensed by
low ibene* That is the issue. Five hun
dred dollars a year Is not a high license.
Everyone who talks of high license begins
at SI,OOO.
•'The question is whether we are to have
prohibition or whether we are to allow
liquor to reign over us and debauch the
good name of the city of Macon.
“I eav that every charge brought against
us i.- a • harg>- brought against the good
jiirm of Ma in and her fair fame.
"They charge intimidation against us
when we say we will prosecute the illegal
registration in this (diction. But <we say
that w< ar. proseeiiting criminals and the
prosecution will continue against these
criminals whether they be white or black,
during this itupaign, and it will continue'
after the campaign is over.
Here Mr. Guerry charged that thieves,
burglars and murderers had registered*to
vote in this elect.on.
Slandering the Town.
"You are slandering the town,” inter
rupted Mr. Jonese from his place on the
plalfot m.
"No, sir," r<-ponded Mr. Guerry. "the
liquor people are not the people of Macon.
"Hut who <lst> Have they brought in,”
continued Mr. Guerry. "The list of dis
qtiallfli <1 voters in the county so far found
on the registration lists is one hundred
and eighty. My attention is called to this
by t'olonei II D. Locke.
"Let the good people of this county lock
their shields on the first day of December
mid not only win a victory for prohibition,
■but. establish a better reputation for the
city of Macon.
Mr. Guerry was followed by Rev. Sam
Jones, who addressed himeelf principally
to the newspaper men of M icon.
Bev. Sftm Jone*.
"I expect now." he said, "that the editor
of The Nows w ill come out in an editorial
defending the true and noble liquor men
of tills town.
“I tell you what's a fact. 1 read the ed
itorial in this evening's News, and if I
were the judge of the court and the mayor
of Macon. I’d lick the fellow who wrote it.
If any fellow ever starts in to defend Sam
Jones and can't say better things about
me than the editor of The Newrf said about
that gang I'll lick him.
"The editor of The New? says that the
mayor of the town is a right decent sort
of a fellow, even in the eyes of his ene
mies. That's a handsome thing to say
about the mayor. I've heard the same
thing said time and time again about John
X. Murrill, the western outlaw and train
robber.
"He says that the aldermen have been
in office for two years, as if that (settled
the matter, and that they were no worse
than anywhere < Ise. That was bragging
on ’em. warn't it.
"If I were that editor I'd take it out in
abusing Sam Jones. I don’t mind it. T
feel friendly toward that editor. lie
bain'l. hurt me. These little red ants do
not hurt, anylwi'dy. They Just tickle. T
always did bate to be worried by little
■things, though.
Who Owns It?
"' \nd as for the Macon Telegraph. You
go to New York and ask who •wus the
Herald, the Journal or the World, and
they will tell you. Go to Atlanta and ask
who owns the Constitution and they'll tell
you \sk who owns the Journal and they'll
. tell you. but you come to Macon and ask
who owns the Macon Telegraph and the
ungels in heaven can't tell you.
"1 reckon The News is like the tramp
Tor whom the lady of the house had fixed
up a nice meal. He looked up at her and
said. ‘lt’s mighty kind of you, mam. to
feed a |>oor orphan so well.'
"‘Poor man.' said she. 'how long have
you been an orphan?’ and he replied with
tears in his eyes. 'Lord, mam, I was born
tin orphan.'
"1 never said a word a'bout the news
papers until they began writing little edi
torials about me. But they can go ahead
and if they can say worse things about
Sam Jones than he can say about them, let
•them drive ahead.
"There is not a man here who does not
know that both of the Macon papers are
for whisky from snout to tail."
Rev. Sam Jon.-s was followed by Rev.
Geonge Stewart, who addressed himself to
Iho colored contingent only.
Mr. Jones closed the meeting with aa
. other plain talk to negroes.
HALF RATES
Will Be Given to All the Soldiers Mustered
Out.
The pasiseng.'r officials who held a con
fin me No- oi» this week, d< 'idol to
give a dials r. te to mustered out soldiers.
Heretof vro the roads have had eonflict
ii g .a guki ’ ions about these rates. Some
lines took the position that a mustered out
si'dier is no longer a soldier, and is not
entitle! to any both r rate than a civilian,
other lines gave the mustered out mon
half ribs. The result was annoyance for
•he soldii rs and the railway jKussenge?
• «nen. too.
The mustered out men get pay which la
equivalent to 4 cents a, nule, and they
will only have to pay a cent and a half.
This will allow them to travel in sleepers
and cat in too dtnirg cars, if they wish.
SHOT IN THE ARM.
One of the Third Engineers Shot by Provost
Guard.
Wiliam Tolbert, a private of company
C, of the Third Engineers, was shot in the
arm yesterday afternoon by the provost
guard at Stewart's store on Monroe (Street.
The wound is not dangerous and only
went through the fleshy part of the man's
arm. It seems that the guard had Tolbert
under arrest and that he attempted to es
cape by runifing. He was ordered to halt
but refused to do so and the result was
tie was fired upon the hall taking effect in
the arm. The guard who did the shooting
says that while he hated to do it he had
to obey orders. Had the bullet gone a lit
tle farther to the right Tolbert would have
been killed. He was brought into the city
and taken to the hospital where his wound
was dressed.

The Constitution cays: Judge J. I. Hall,
of Macon, was in the city yesterday. "I
do not know much about the progress of
the prohibition fight over there,” he said.
"But the prihibitionists are confident of
winning, and the anti-prohibitionists are
absolutely confident, sc it is not easy for
anybody to form a conclusion of what will
bo the outcome. We are getting along
very well with the soldiers. Beyond the
trouble a provast guard 'had with one of
the negroes. as reported in this morning’s
paper, I know of no disorder having oc
curred. The negroes are camped out on
the Central railroad and the whites up the
river, and consequently they seldom come
together. So far as their demeanor to
wards the citizens is concerned, the ne
groes behave themselves very well.”
FINE-LECTURE
Delivered Last Nigbt.bv Pro
fessor DeMotte Before
Lyceum.
It would be but feebly expressing a truth
to say only that the large audience which
assembled last night in Wesleyan chapel to
hear Prof. J. B. DeMotte’s famous lecture
"The Harp of the Senses” were delighted.
Taken in its entirety the lecture was the
most artistic, unique, forcible and instruc
tive ever delivered in '.Macon and the fre
quent and hearty applause that greeted
the climaxes of the speaker attested his
power. The audience was not only suf
ficient to fill the chapel which has a seat
ing capacity of nearly 700,. but was com
posed of earnest high-minded people. The
large number of bright young faces lifted
eagerly toward the stage was especially
noticeable and generally commented upon.
Prof. DeMotte treated the' soul as the in
visible always unknown ego, and the five
senses of man as the medium of communi
cation between him and its environment.
Taking vibration as the universal method
of transmission, he showed upon a large
screen many curious and intensely inter
esting vibratory results by use of a skil
fully managed stereopticon and exquisitely
beautiful photographs, fills reproduction
in visible forms of the voice notes was
very skilfully effected. Through a email
tube, one end of which was covered with
a soap bubble or film he photographed in
colors the shapes assumed by the atoms
of this film responsive to the notes sung
into the tubes. These results were strange
geometrically developed forms, each note
possessing its own particular form, ami
reappearing whenever the note was sound
ed whether by voice or instrument. The
combination of these forms when chords
were Jilayed slowly upon a violin or har
monica was beyond expression marvelous.
Played rapidly from either instrument the
changes were as swift as the tremulous
vibration of lightning at twilight on a
summer day. People who witnessed them
grew to know better the wonderful power
of the sense of hearing which could dis
tinguish such swift changes and co
ordinate the sympathetic sounds in uni
sons.
Passing these experiments the speaker
showed by delicate photographs upon his
screen the method of transmission to the
human brain and the process of recording
as a memory; how lines of the least re
sistance were established by the heart’s
blood rushing to build up the brain tissue
destroyed in the process, how memory
cells were created and habits formed: ■
habits of thought, speech, action. —good
habits and bad habits; and how the cells
finally arc taught to act automatically
upon receiving an impression through any
sense. The act of the piano player when
he strikes a note or notes combined is born
of the automatic action of his established
brain centers or cells swifter than thought;
so is the act of a smoker who lights a cigar
without knowing that a whiff of burning
tobacco has reached him; the act of one
who buttons his coat against a sudden
blast; or who extends a hancl when stumb
ling. The speaker argued that the indi
vidual as we see him, is the sum of his
created cells: his life under ordinary cir
cumstances. the workings of those gov
erning centers; and he made a magnifi
cent appeal in behalf of the young who are
' not sufficiently guarded against evil and
dangerous impressions. His scientific ex
position of the causes of moral degrada
tion, illustrated as it was and reinforced
by statistics and vividly portrayed experi
ence amazed his audience. They felt that
the real cause of many evils if not of all.
had been made visible and the remedies
suggested.
Prof. DeMotte has an easy, graceful de
livery. a little too rapid at times and
stems to know just when to relieve the
•tension of his audience with jest and
reminiscence. He is doing a magnificent
work for society as a scientist, and after
his lecture was ended received an ovation.
Today upon the streets his lecture was
enthusiastically commented upon and if the
Lyceum were a needy organization it could
in an hour raise a thousand dollars from
the people who have heard its first two
speakers. Wendling and DeMotte.
But the Lyceum is not needy; it is away
yonder booming on its own merits. The
limit of 200 members was raised first to
250. and then to 300; and last night the
secretary announced that after a careful
consideration of the situation the manage
ment felt authorized to accept fifty mem
bers more. This will close the list until
next year when a membership of 600 will
be arranged for.

IN COURT ROOM
Prohibition Fight Carried Be
fore Recorder Freeman
this Morning.
HTECTIKSVEK ARRESTED
On the Charge of Impersonating Of
ficers—Defended by Mr. Du
pont Guerry, Who Was Hot.
There was a hot time in the recorder's
court this morning. George Burkett and
Jim Gunn were arraigned before Judge
Freeman qn the charge of impersonating
an officer and were fined ten dollars each.
They were defended by Hon. Dupont
Guerry and Mr. Ed Ryals.
It seems that the two men have been
going around for the past several days to
the negro houses in the eity and asking
the negro women about their husbands
and sons. The two men would ask the
ages of the men and would request to see
the Tecord of their ages. They would also
ask if the men had ever been in the chain
gang, and if they were never asked the
question they would never state why they
were asking the questions.
Annie Clements, a negro woman, report
ed the matter to the policeman yesterday
and the two men were first arrested on
the charge of disorderly conduct and the
charge was afterward changed to that of
impersonating an officer.
The case was called in the recorder’s
court Chis morning and it took over an
hour to dispose of it. At the beginning
of the case Mr. Guerry and Judge Free
man engage ! in a war of words. It seems
that Judge Freeman was of the opinion
that Mr. Guerry had insinuated on the
honesty of the court, and promptly told
him so. Mr. Guerry said that Judge Free
man had misunderstood him and that if
fie had said anything that had hurt the
feelings of the court that ‘he did not intend
it, but was merely asking that justice be
given. .
Several negro women were examined,
and they testified to the fact that the men
came to t'heir houses and asked in regaid
to their husbands and sons.
The defense tried to impress on the
judge that the men did their work in the
day time and did not try to conceal it,
but the judge thought that they had no
right to enter other people’s houses and
demand to see their family records and
told them so.
Mr Guerry made a speech for the men
and in it he said that they were guilty of
no disorderly conduct and that it was im
possible to try them on the charge if dis
orderly conduct was booked against them.
Mr. Ryals argued the .same thing. Judge
Freeman did not think that way, and aftei
the witnesses had been examined and the
lawyers had finished their spcecnes he
rendered his decision. He was interrupt
ed several times by Mr. Guerry, but the
judge gave him to understand ’that he was
running 'the court and that it was he Who
was giving the opinion. Judge freeman
said that the men had no right to act as
they did unless they had the proper au
thority and imposed a fine of $lO on each
and placed them under bond.
■Mr. Guerry did not like this and as he
left the court room he made some remark
and Judge Freeman told him that he must
keep order in the court. He continued,
however, as he left the court room, but.
what he said could not. be heard.
The two men were carried to the station
sergeant’s office, where they were search
ed and placed in the barracks. Mr. Ryals,
the attorney, protested against the search
ing, but the station sergeant said that it
-was his duty and proceeded to do it.
The bond was made in a few minutes
and the men were released. The casewillbe
appealed. It is claimed by the antis that
Burkett and Gunn were working in the
interest of the prohibitionists.
and the men released. The case will be
CONVENTION ADJOURNED.
Meeting of the Christian Church Delegates
Very Successful.
The iChistian church convention ad
journed with the session of last night, af
ter a most successful session. The con
vention was attended by delegates from all
parts the state and many •outsiders.
The sessions of yesterday afternoon and
last night were the most interesting ses
sions vet held, and in spite of the inclem
en weatheV - , many were present. Mr.
J. S. Lamar delivered an address on "Set
ting things in order.” It was one of the
'best that has been delivered at the con
vention <and lie received much applause.
The session closed with a few words
from Mr. L. M. Erwin, and the benediction
by TJr. Thomas.
The Committee which had been appoint
ed to select a place for the next meeting,
reported that they had decided on Atlanta.
The following officers were elected: W.
A. Chastain. Athens, president.; L. M. Er
win, Macon, vice president, and T. L.
Adams, Valdosta, secretary.
The convention which closed last night
• is eaid to have been the best convention
held by this body of people in years.
The- things especially remarkable in this
meeting, were the harmony in all actions,
the spirit of brotherly affection manifested
by every one in atten'd'ancc, and. the deep
spirituality which showed itself in every
prayer, address and song.
The best part of yesterday morning’s
program was the timely and earnest ad
dress of Rev. Sam T. Jones. The richest
of the afternoon service was the deeply
spiritual address of the cultured and rev
ered J. S. 'Lamar, the mentor of this con
vention.
The sweetest and most helpful service of
all was last night's service.
After a number of speeches by different
ladies and gentlemen, Mr. L. M. Erwin re
quested the privilege of speaking the last
words. His address, which was full of
deep emotions feeling, was responded
to in an equally earnest address from J. S.
Lamar. At the close of these addresses,
with the con.eye gat ion melted to tears, the
poplo sang, “God be with you till we
meet again.” Dr. Thomas pronounced the
benediction and the convention was a
thing of the past.
The following resolutions were passed:
Resolved. That our thanks be extended,
first, to the Macon church and to the Ma
con people for the warm welcome and hos
pitable entertainment. •
Second. To the First Presbyterian church
of Macon, for the offer of their auditorium
in case the Christian church should be too
small to accomodate the crowd.
Third. To the Macon Evening News and
the Macon Telegraph for the use of the
columns of their papers in advertising the
convention and giving a record of its sit
tings. •
Fourth. To S. P. Speigel for the effi
cient manner in which he managed the
music of the convention.
Fifth. To E. S. Shelnutt for the use of
the maps he had furnished, and to every
one who had added anything to the profit
and pleasure of the convention.
The following were elected for the en

Vice President —L. M. Erwin. Macon.
Secretary—F. L. Adams. Valdosta.

RACE WAR.
Is Predicted if the Negroes Are Sent to
Cuba.
By Associated Press.
New York. Nov. 18 —A dispatch from
Havana says:
The news from Topeka. Kas., that John
T. Veney, a Baptist clergyman, is about
to send to Santiago thirty negro families
as a neuclus for a large negro colony has
caused an exceedingly bail • impressiori
along the Cubans who are anxious that
only white immigrants shall come to Cuba.
The more rabid predict a race war should
many of the negroes come from the United
States. A strange feature is that the Cuban
negroes are even more bitter than the
whites in denouncing the movement.

J, TOM ROGERS
WANTS DAMAGES:
Enters Suit Against W. C.
Turpin for Hts Action as
a Grand Juryman.
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND
Dollars is the Price He Puts on the
Damage Done to His .Character
and His Loss Therefrom.
Suit has been filed in the city court by
Mr. J. Tom Rogers against Mr. W. C.
Turpin claiming damages in the sum of
$25,000.
The petitioners set forth that some time
ago Mr. 'Rogers was in partnership with-
Mr. Turpin under 'the firm name of Tur
pin &* Rogers. During the existence of
this partnership the store occupied by the
firm was burned down and shortly after
that Mr. Turpin, as a member of .the grand
jury of Bibb county had a bill of indict
ment brought against Rogers and assisted
in the prosecution of the case when it <was
brought to trial.
Rogens was tried and acquitted iby a jury
of his peers.
He now brings suit for damages in the
sum named claiming that his character
has been damaged to that extent and that
Turpin was solely responsible for the
bringing of the true bill and the trial.
The ease will be one of eongiderable
local interest as tooth parties are very well
known and both of them belong to prom
inent families in the city. The arrest and
trial of Mr. Rogers on the charge of arson
caused considerable excitement and com
ment at the time.

By Associated Press.

and family were driven to shelier in the
country. The blacks claimed that shots
were fired at their homes from Heath’s
yard a statement which lie denies.
The members of troop B were kept alert
all night but accomplished little. 'A colored
union miner reported to the police that
a white man had been killed in Flatham
district. Officers Smith and Lee accompa
nied by the negro started for the scene.
They were met by Captain Butler, the
militia commander, who told the officers
that it was unsafe for them to enter Flat
ham district. Butler refused to send the
guard to accompany the officers in the
Springdale, district. Ed Jones, a white non
union miner is reported ehot and danger
ously wounded. A report reached the city
today that seventy-five negroes with Win
chesters are lined up in Springdale to
clean out the whites of that section. Cap
tain Butler at once despatched troops' to
the scene. -

ERYSIPELAS
Two Diseases That Cause Their
Victims to Be Shunned by
Their Fellow-Man.
Bpkiwhfikld, Mo.
Gentlemen: I commenced taking P.
P. P., Lippman's Great P.ernedy, last
Fall, for Erysipelas. My face was com
plstsly covered with the disease ; I took
a short course of P. P. P., and it soon
disappeared. This Spring I became
much debilitated and again took an
other course, and I am now in good
condition. I consider P. P. P. one of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a gen
eral tonic to build up the system and
i Improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
cares to try P. P. P. will not be’disap
pointed in its results, and I, therefore,
cheerfully recommend it.
