A GUARD FOR
STREET CARS
People Demanding Protection
From Unmanlv Neerses
DANGER ITCHILDREN
Citizens Going Armed Who Hav
ent Toted a Gun for
Years.
Provost guards for the street cars are
by the people generally.
Nearly every day there is trouble of
some kind growing out of the conduct of
negro soldiers who use the street raiway
lines.
The conductors seem to be helpless to
insure the good behavior of these men in
the presence of ladies and children.
It has happened several times that citi
zens have been compelled to intervene and
put unruly men off the ears.
“If something in the way of a guard de
tail for the street railways be not done at
once,’’ said a citizen today, “there is going
to be a lot of blood spilled. I know of many
gentlemen now going armed who have not
before carried a pistol in many years.
They will surely make an example of
somebody. We cannot permit our wives
and children who use the cars to be sub
jected to the slightest to risk of annoy
ance, offense or insult. There are many
school children who have to ride to and
from their homes and a provost guard is
needed to protect them, if nobody else.
The application for these guards should
not be delayed another day.’’
This afternoon a 'News rejorted saw Ma
jor Winters, the manager of the Consolida
ted lines, and was Informed that early this
morning he had taken up the matter with
Major Logan, the provost marshal, ar.d
had received information that the officials
cdnsent to the assignment of the guards
on the cars. The guards will be placed at
once. Major Logan showed great interest
in remedying the evil and it is believed
therb will be’ no trouble hereafter.

Since moving into their new quarters,
the membership of the Young iMen’s Chris
tian Association has been steadily grow
ing, and to meet the increased demand in
their bath rooms it has been necessary to
put in an immense heater, much larger
than the one heretofore in use, to supply
their hot water reservoir. This has been
done this week, and the members are re
joicing over the great improvement.
A new membership committee has just
been formed, consisting of John J. McKay,
chairman, Dr. H. W. Walker, R. D. '
Leonard, R. V. Martin, Herman Schall, J.
Leon Respess, and C. U. Smith, and they I
gone actively to work, As an auxil- •
liary to this committee Messrs. R. H. Kel
ley, D. G. Richardson and C. W. Gom
peets lhave been appointed as a specia
committee for work among their fellow
students in the Georgia-Alabama Business
College.
Next Sunday at 3 p. m. the association’s
men’s meeting will be addressed by Mr.
Witherspoon, the evangelits, of New York
city, who spent some time here last win
ter, and addressed a large number of meet
ings in the city. He is again in 'Macon,
spending some time and his many friends
will have an opportunity of hearing him
Sunday at the Young Men’s Christian As
sociation. At this meeting the associa
tions new male quartet will make their
first appearance in public. This quartet
is composed of A. W. Gibson, first tenor;
Dr. ‘Philip T. 'McCown, second tenor; J.
Clisby Wise, first bass, and C. I. Stacy,
second bass, and will render two excellent
selections at themeeting Sunday.
