Gen, Wilson,
Today General James H. Wilson received
the following telegram from Hon. J. A.
•Porter, secretary to the president:
Atlanta. Ga., Dec. 14, 1898.
General James H. Wilson, Macon, Ga.
Your difipatch just received, via Wash
ington. The railroad manager assures me
that we will be in Macon promptly by 8:30
o’clock, and this hour will be adhered to,
as we must leave Macon by 11:30 o’clock
at least. All the party will breakfast on
the train before reaching Macon. Please
inform local committee of arrangements
to this effect.
J. A. Porter, Secretary.
Judge Speer, the chairman of the com
mittee, having in charge the preparations
for the reception of the president, is today
busy in making his assignment® to duty
of the various members of his committee.
The tells the following
story of the time when President Wash
ington visited Georgia:
The banquet to be given tonight in honor
of President McKinley and other distin
guished visitors is one of the few occasions
at which a president of the United States
has been entertained at the festive board
by citizens of Georgia.
Beyond doubt it will be the most elegant
affair of its kind and most brilliant gath
ering of prominent men ever held within
the borders of the state. It is interesting
to note that at the end of the last century
General Washington, then president of the
United States, was entertained in a simi
lar way by the citizens of Savannah.
The “History of Savannah” speaks as
follows of the visit of General Washing
ton, and the ‘banquet given in his honor
while there in May, 1791:
“Attended by 'General Mclntosh and
several gentlemen, General AVashtngton,
on Saturday morning, inspected the lines
constructed in 1789 by the British for the
defense o fSavannah, and the approaches
and batteries made by the allied army.
Having himself participated in the siege
and in the assault on the Sth of October,
General Mclntosh was able to convey to
the president full information touching the
whole affair. The earth-mounds covering
the slain, the hues of circumvallation, the
approaches, the sand batteries and gun
•chambers had not then yielded to the ob
literating influences of the time and an
encroaching population. The scars of the
siege were still upon the bosom of the
plain, and some of the houses within the
limits of the citv bore the marks of the
deadly missiles which were then hurled.
(About him stood those who had passed
through that baptism of fire. The presi
dent exhibited a deep interest in all be
then saw and beard.
“In the afternoon the president honored
the citizens with his company at a dinner
prepared for him under a beautiful arbor,
suported by three rows of pillars entirely
covered with laurel and bay leaves, so as
to exhibit uniform green columns. The
pillars were higher than the arbor and or
namented above it by festoons and con
nected below by arches covered in the
same manner. The place on which it
stood was judiciously chosen, presenting
at once a view of the city and of the ship
ping in the harbor, with an extensive pros
pect of the river and rice lands above and
below the town. But the principal advan
tage which resulted from its situation and
structure was the opportunity which it af
forded to the great body of people to have
a distinct and uninterrupted view of that
I object to which all eys and hearts appear
ed to be attracted.
“A company of nearly 200 citizens and
strangers dined under it, and the satisfac
tion which each one enjoyed in paying this
personal tribute to the merit of a man who
is. if possible, more beloved for his good
• ness than admired for his greatness, pro
' duced a degree of convivial and harmoni
i ous mirth rarely experienced. Every one
i beheld with delight in the person of our
I president the able general, the virtuous
' patriot, the profound politician—ln a word,
, one of the most shining ornaments that
I ever dignified human nature.
“The artillery company dined under an
other arbor, erected at a small distance,
and received merited applause for the
great dexterity which they displayed at
firing at each toast. Their fires were re
turned by Fort Wayne, and the ehip
Thomas Wilson, which was moored oppo
site the arbor. Her decorations through
the day and illuminations at night had a
fine effect. *
The following toasts were given:
“ ‘The United States of America.’
“ ’Prosperity to the Citizens of Savannah
and Its Vicinity’—'By the president.
“ ‘The Fair of America.’
“ ‘The Vice President of the United
States.'
“ ‘The Memorable Era of Independence.’
“ ‘The Count d’Estaing.’
“ ‘The Memory of General Greene.’
“ 'The Arts and Sciences.’
“ ’The Memory of Those Brave Men Who
Fell Before the Line® of Savannah on the
9th of October, 1789.’
“ ‘The Friends to Free and Equal Gov
ernment Throughout the Globe.’
“ ‘All Foreign Powers in Friendship with
i the United States.’
“ ‘May Religion and Philosophy Always
Triumph Over Superstition and. Prejudice
[ in America.’
“ ‘The Present Dexterous Corps of Artil
lery'—(The president's toast.)
“ ‘(After the president retired) —‘The
president of the United States.’
“The construction of the arbor and ths
manner in which the entertainment was
provided and conducted did great honor
to the gentlemen to whose direction the
whole was committed.
“In the evening there was a handsome
exhibition of fireworks and the amuse
-1 ments of this day of joy and festivity were
concluded by a concert.”

Continued from page 1.
and are kicking very much. Nevertheless
they will be •given a great send off by
the other men of the regiment.
A large crowd witnesed the dress parade
of the Engineers yesterday afternoon and
people who have seen both the Second
Ohio and this regiment drill say that the
; regiments are about on equal terms. The
■ officers of the Second Ohio have had more
experience on account of the fact that they
were in. the National Guard before being
in the army, and, consequently, knew mil
iiaiy tactics, while most of the Engineers
iiad to learn after they were mustered in.
The Engineers have decidedly the pret
tist camp of any of the regiments and
have all of their company streets graded
las well as any are graded -in 'the city.
They also have a supply of tent stoves
and the men do not suffer much.
'Since 'being in 'Macon very few of the
men have been sick and the general health
of the regiment ha® greatly improved.
This is saying a great deal for the regi
ment, for before coming here there was a
great deal of sickness among the men.
Colonel Gilliard is a very popular man
with the men of his regiment. The ar
ticle which appeared in the Telegraph a
few days ago in regard to the men of this
regiment kicking has made all the men
mad. The article was signed “A Private”
and his name, so they claim, was taken
from one of Dickens’ characters. They say
that there is no such man in the regiment'
and that they are sure that it came from
the pen of one of the officers.
The Engineers have made many friends
since their stay in the city and the sym
pathy of the people is with them. Pri
! vate Tilford, the soldier who cut Private
Flynn some time ago, is now in the Bibb
county jail and will be tried some time
soon. The men in Tilford’s company sav
that the cutting was done in self defense,
and that previous to the time of the cut
ting Tilford was one of the most orderly
men in 'the regiment, and that he had
never been in trouble. The men of his
company have employed Hon. John R.
Cooper to defend him in his trial and they
feel confident that he will come out all
right.
At present there is only one company of
Engineers on provost duty, the other com
panies being from the Second Ohio. The
battalion which leaves for Cuba this after-
I noon is regarded as one of the crack bar-
J ralions of the regiment. It will be in
I command of Lieutenant Colonel Jadwin.
1 who has commandedd them since being
' with the regiment.
The band of the regiment is improving
j every day. They have the instruments of
the Fiist Georgia. They made good music
on the day of the review and have been
hard at work since that time practicing
for the presidential review which will take
place Monday.
SEVENTH CAVALRY.
The Seventh cavalry has been ths most
popular regiment here for the past few
days, and the number of visitors to their
camps far exceeds the number that has
visited the others. The regiment is
somewhat handicapped at present on ac
count of a drill ground. No place large
enough for a regimental drill can be found
around the city, and at present only guard
mount can be held.
One of the cavalrymen remarked last
night that if the government authorities
at Washingeon ever found out that they
had a camp like the present one that they
would order them away from Macon at
once. He said that before coming here
' their camps had always been knee deep in
mud and that if the authorities learned
I that they had such a good camp that they
j would be taken away at once. He said
• that when the men saw the present camp
site they could hardly believe that the
■ regiment would be camped there.
There is no doubting the fact that Cen-
' tral park is one of the best camp sites in
the country, and it is the very thing for a
i cavalry regiment. The camp at present
I covers the whole plot of ground within
• the mile track and some of the tents are
i pitched in the ball park. Very saw of the
• men are sick and ail of the horses are in
1 the best of condition.
In this regiment ar§ some old troopers
who have spent most of their lives in the
service. This regiment has been stationed
‘ in the Indian country for a numebr of
‘ years and have quelled a number of In-
• dian uprisings. There are several of the
men with the regiment who have been
I in many of the Indian engagements and
t they can tell interesting stories of their
; experiences on the plains.
The regiment is the only regular regi
ment in Macon and the discipline is very
striji". All of the officers are West Point
graduates and are all fine men. The
troopers do not like the idea of the rules
in regard to coming up town after dark,
and say that before coming here they were
at liberty to do as the ypleased. They do
not like the provost guards very much and
take much delight in teasing any of the
volunteer troops that come around them.
In the parade Tuesday, the regiment was
the center of attraction and made a fine
show.
CAMP HASKELL.
This camp has very few visitors on ac
count of the fact that the camp is so far
out. The men. however, get along very
well and all of the drills Take place just
as if nobody was present. The four negrp
regiments have caused very little trouble
lately and the officers seem to have them
in good control.
All of the regiments have good drill
grounds and the dress parades are held
every afternoon. The band of the Seventh
Immune® surprised every’body Tuesday.
It was regarded as one of the best in the
service and it certainly made good music.
The health of the men is graduallj’ im
proving and so far no contagious disease
has broken out. The camps are kept in
the of condition and the sanitation is
perfect.
MILITARY “HURRY WAGON” NEEDED
Members of the provost guard having
men under arrest have been in the habit
of using the street cars to convey their
prisoners to the guard house at Fourth
and Cherry streets. This is rather dan
gerous business, a®, in case of a refractory
prisoner, passengers might be injured or
subjected to undue annoyances. Major
Winters, of the Consolidated, yesterday
said that he would issue an order forbid
ing the use of the cars for such purpose
The provost guard could adopt the system
of the local police and provide a “hurry”
wagon to be summoned to any point in
the city by telephone.
AT TE PROVOST QUARTERS.
The men on provost duty seem to be
very well satisfied. They are beter fixed
than the men in camp and only have to
stay on duty two hours and are four off.
The health of the men at the guard house
is very good. The officer® in charge give
the men all the liberties possible.
The guard house is well arranged and
the men on duty are very familiar -with
their duties. For the past several days they
have teen kept busy making arrests. The
soldiers in the camps have been paid off
and are coming into the city to spend it.
They violate the provost regulations and,
of course, have to be arrested. Th? guard
house was full yesterday and today many
men have been arrested. They are always
tried by the summary court, which is com
posed of Captain Hardee, before they are
sent back to camp. They are generally
fined, and in some cases are kept in the
guard house for a short wTi-ile. The fines
come out of their pay.
WILL THEY COME?
Rumors are still afloat in regard to the
troops at Knoxville coming here. It is
thought to be very likely that the regi
ments will be sent here. For the past
several days Lieutenant Reeve has been
riding over the country looking for a camp
site, and it is thought from that that the
. men will come. When questioned about
the matter Lieutenant Reeve said that he
was looking for a drill ground for the
Seventh cavalry troop( but it is thought
that he is looking for camp sites.
It is understood that the water company
here is making a liberal investment in
water pipes and it is inferred from that
that more troops are likely to come. Gen
eral Bates will not talk of the matter and
neither wil the other officers. It is said
to be very cold for the men in. Knoxville,
and that many of them are sick, and for
that reason General Bates wants all of the
troops of bis division here.
It will be known in a few days whether
or not the regiments will be ordered here,
but it is thought, on all sides that they
will come.
No orders have been issued from the
headquarters today and neither of the
generals have any information as to the
time the troops will move.
It is understood that the court martial
that has been investigating the case of
Captain Hargraves, the negro officer who
was charged w r ith conduct unbecoming a
gentleman, has completed its work and
that the papers have been forwarded to
Washington. No information can be giv
en out here until the papers have been
opened at Washington.
The ’board of inquiry which was ap
pointed to investigate as to the compe
tency of the negro officers has not yet
finished its work. It is said, however,
that several of the officers will be drop

WOMEN" IN TROUBLE.
The Approach of Motherhood is ths
Occasion of Much Anxiety to Al],
Everv woman dreads the ordeal
through which she must pass in becom
ing a mother. The pain and suffering
which is in store for her is a source of
constant anxiety, fear and dread, to
say nothing of the danger which the
coming incident entails. The joyous
anticipations with which she looks for
ward to baby’s coming gives way to an
indescribable dread of the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical and trying
event which will soon approach and
have to be endured.
Women should hail with delight a
remedy which insures to them im
munity from the pain, suffering and
danger incidental to child-bearing.
Such a remedy is now offered, and
women need not fear longer the hour of
childbirth. ‘'Mother’s Triend”—is a
scientific liniment —and if used before
confinement, gently and surely prepares
the body for the great requirements
and changes it is undergoing, insures
safety to both mother and child, and
takes her through the event with com
parative ease and comfort. This won
derful remedy is praised by every
woman who has used it.
What woman is not interested in
“Mother’s Friend?” This wonderful
remedy has been tested and its price
less value proven by the experience oi
thousands of happy mothers who
have used it during the most critical
period of woman’s life—the approach
and culmination of motherhood.
It has won their everlasting praise,
for it gave them help and hope in
their most trying hour and when
most needed. Every woman may some
day need “Mother’s Friend.” The
little book. “Before Baby is Born,”
telling all about it, and when it should
be used, will prove of gr at interest and
benefit to all expectant mothers, and
will be sent free to any address upon
