OPPORIUW
FOR SOLDIERS,
Pay Day Brings With, it a
Double Blessing.
COMES SUSI in TIME.
Enables Them to lake Advantage of
the Great Fire Snle of Shoes
I at Ross Sims & Co. _i
The work of paying off the soldier boys
ai Camp Fornace will be well under way
tomorrow. Naturally this is an event of
great importance to the boys in blue. They
have served their country' faithfully and
they deserve what is coining to them.
In kict, they deserve even more. FOl
this reason rt is most gratifying to note
that pay day, coming just a-t this time,
has a double meaning for ihe soldiers.
Naturally each of them is interested in
making his money go furrherest; if three
■ dollar- will buy what he would usually
, have to pay $5 for. be is just .$2 better off
: than he expected. He has just that much
more “Christinas money’’ lef’ to him; just
that much more to spend for some nice
present for mother or sister at home.
The iNews 'takes, pleasure in directing
i the attention of the soldier boys to an op
portunity to make three dollars do ihe
work of five. At, least in the matter of
| shoes; and the shoe bill is quite an item
' with the soldier. Constant marching and
! exposure demand stout, strong, wearable
j Fh.'cs. Unless they have these qualities
j the snoe bill is considerable.
Especially Joes this sort' of weather
make the subject of shoes paramount to all
| others. There will probably be more
| shot s bought in Macon during -the next
1 seven days than in any one week in the
history of the city.
It is fortunate that just 'at this time
i there is an $85,000 stock of shoes thrown
I on 'the market at “fire sale” prices—<uiy-
; where from 33 1-3 to .'>o per cent oft on
j I every pair, and the shoes not damaged in
| the least.
1 Ross Sims & Co., whose large wholesale
I and retail establishment, corner Third
j 1 street and Bargain Lane, is an ornament
io any city, suffered a loss by fire on the
third story of their building a few weeks
I ago. While none of 'the shoes on the first
ami second floors were damaged at all, the
"very fact that a fire occurred in the build
| ing injured the “selling value” of every
pair of shoes in the house. Hence the lib-
I era! settlement made by t.he insurance
companies, and hence the liberal discounts
I offered by Messrs Sims & Co.
'ihe knife was applied deep. Not a cent
of profit was left on anything. In fact
. “below cost” is the rule in cv-ry depart-
I merit. Six dollar shoes are going for four,
‘ five dollar shoes tor three, and so on. Just
the sort of shoes 'that cost you the reguar
■ price anywhere else.
But perhaps the thing that will most in
terest the soldier boys is rubber boots. For
1 the accommodation of the soldiers Mr.
Sims recently ordered a large lot of these
j boots, having already sold out 400 pairs.
Instead of asking 'the regular price he let
| them go in at the “fire price,” which
• makes them $2.50 in stead of $3.50, as
1 charged elsewhere. Just the same boot
the very bed that is sold elsewhere, and
yet the soldier saves a dollar on every
•pa i r.
Ross Sims & Co. propose to make every
two dollars spent by the soldiers for shoes
Jo the wcrok or three, and in some in-
I stances four.

day's News.

Library Directors Bringing the Institution
to a High Standard.
The Macon library will soon be one of ,
the best in the country. For some time
past the directors have -been at work get
ting the books in shape and the library
' now has a neat appearance and all of rhe j
books that were once in bad condition have i
been dusted and arranged so that they can !
I be found at once.
I In examining the books yesterday an old
book of steel engravings of the characters '
in Shakespeare's plays was found. The
value of this book is about $1,500. and it j
is said that there are very few in the coun- ■
try. Several other valuable bcoks were !
( found. They have been fixed up and are j
now in a convenient place in the library.
The directors intend to get in all of the
new books and to buy none but the best.
The ci-tizens are giving the directors much
encouragement and have shown recently
that the city is interested in the library.
Mr. Iverson Harris has given much of
his time to the library recently to the
work and he said this morning that he
thought tat in a year's time the Macon li
brary would be cue of the best in the
‘ country. . . j

RACE WITH LOCOMOTIVES.
Many Wild Anhnah Make u trial of
Speed nt
Running through the forest and swamp
lands of Ohio and Indiana, the engineers
and firemen who watch ahead of the great
engines that haul the flying express trains
see many wild animals dashing along the
track, and frequently nizens of the xor
i ests are run down, and the trackmen find
their mangled remains in the morning,
i Coons, wildcats rabbits and sometimes
tvones are caught by the fast flying limit
ed trains, and even sly reynard. with all
his cunning, is often ground up under the
wheels.
lor many miles the Baltimore and
! Ohio, Fort Wayne and Lake Shore roads
[ run through a wild, swampy woodland
country in western Ohio and Indiana.
These densely wooded swamps are almost
impenetrable, and they harbor nearly all
/kinds of indigenous wild animals and
birds. In the moonlight or by the aid of
’.he headlight the animals can be seen
scampering across the Slacks, and often
the foolish rabbit takes to the middle of
the track between the rails and races the
locomotive for miles until he plunges into
: a culvert or a bridge.
“It has occurred to me several times in
my railroad experience.” sixid the old en
gineer, “that the American skunk can
j make himself conspicuous longer and
louder than any other living thing. Fre
quently as we fly along <SO miles an hour
through the gloom of night a little wab
. bling body, dark and gray, is seen by the
glare of the headlight running diagonally
across the track. The animal may possi
bly by quick action and a skillful maneu
ver escape the wheels, and distantly our
nostrils are saluted with an overpowering
scent which almost makes us faint. We
are 200 yards away from the cause of the
smell in an instant, but it clings to us for
miles, and the passengers in the cars who
are awake wonder what kina of oil is
burning in the supposed hoi boxes. If we
happen to kill the little animal, his meni-
I ory clings to us still for at least five miles.”
| One night a few weeks ago, as the flying
fast mail on the Lake Shorv as making
up lost time across the Indiana swamps, a
big red fox dashed out ahead of the ioco
| motive and rook the straight, level track
; right ahead of the train. In another in
stant a great black anu tan hound, with
his tongue protruding and his long, lank
body stretched out at full speed, took the
roadbed just sfi feet behind the fox. More
| steam was turned on. and with their heads
out the engineer and fireman watched the
contest of speed. It was a grand race be
• tween the two animals, with the mighty
engine coming close after them < 5 miles
an hour and the headlight showing the
fleet fox straining every limb and muscle,
and his enemy slowly falling behind. The
old hound appeared to know that there
was danger in his rear and took to the
west bound track, and in another minute
tl>' rushing train went past him. but the
fox, taking advantage of the complication,
disappeared in the woods again.
‘ Cm the Pennsylvania railroad cast of Al
toona a few weeks ago the track inspector
found the remains of a wildcat ou the
track, and on rhe Philadelphia and Erie
away up Ixeyond Lock Haven last winter
a large black bear ran cut in front of a
freight train and was killed. Deer are
often seen crossing the Philadelphia and
. Erie tracks in the Pennsylvania moun
tains, and in the wild, lonesome places
where the trains stop to water, if the at
-1 tentive passenger who is awake will put
his head out of the window and listen, ht
will hear the scream of the jianther ani
the larstfflf of the owl.—Pittsburg I u*L.
