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. « Full dress Shirts. Harry L. Jones Co. Notes Taken On the Run.

"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. The Lyceum engagements up to date cover: Th Neew York Ladies Trio and Miss Lil lian Carlsmith. December 6th. W.

FACTIONS FUSS 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 suing year: President —AV. A. Chastain. Athens. Vice President —L. M. Erwin. Macon. Secretary—F. L. Adams. Valdosta. Treasurer—J. P. Downing, Atlanta.

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.

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.

Quite a number of families left the city and spent the night in the country with friends. C.
