BENEJTH THEIR
OIGNIFY
First Baptist Deacons Take no
Notice of‘‘Love Feast.”
DR, WHITE WILL NOT TALK
Mr. Chapman Thinks He Has Been
Badly Treated—A Curious
Situation.
Mr. W. B. Chapman was summoned up
* before the board of deacon» at the First
Baptist church yesterday morning but
nothing has been given out to the public
that will throw any light on the matter
and it yet remains to be known what was
done with him.
It was stated in The News of Saturday
that Mr. Chapman was summoned up on
The charge of approving of the words used
by Mayor Price in regard to Dr. White,
pastor of the First Baptist church. Mr.
t'hapman says that he does agree with
Mayor Price and that he told Dr. White
so. He says that the deacons of the
church held two secret sessions yesterday
in regard to the matter But that all he
knows of what wats done was a copy of
resolutions that were furnished him. Fol
lowing are the resolutions:
Resolved, That we, the deacons of the
First 'Baptist church, after mature deliber
ation, consider it beneath our dignity to
take notice of the so-called "Love Feast - ”
which took place in the council chamber
Inst Wednesday night. Our aim is the ad
vancement of Christ’s cause and the pro
tection of our homes and from this we
will not be deviated.
“Decennber 18, 1898, Macon, Ga.
Dr. White refuses to discuss the matter
and none of the board of dea-ons will talk
•saying that they have agreed to keep the
matter a secret and it is not known what
action was taken in regard to Mr. Chap
man. Mr. Chapman says that he is at
Jose to know what was done with him and
that he would like very much to find out.
In speaking of the matter he said that
he had done nothing wrong and that he
had a right to think as he pleased. He
said that what he wanted was more reli
gion ami less politics in the church. He
said some warm things in regard to cer
tain people and seemed not to like the
manner in which he was treated.

LILIPUTIANS COMING,
W,ll Be at the Academy of Music Next
Monday.
One of the principal events of the season
w ill bet he engagement of the Liliputians
it the Academy of Music where they will
present their latest and greatest hit, the
grand spectacuaor play ’’The Golden
Horseshoe” next Monday night. The com
ipany is this year composed of nearly one
hundred people, headed, as Usual, by the
< lever midget actors, among them Franz
Ebert, Adolph Zink, Selma Goerner, Ber
tha Jaeger, Hermann Ring. .Max Walter,
Toni 'Meister, Elise Lau-Ebert and Helene
Linder. It is doubtless the largest travel
ing organization and the new prodmefion
surpasses in elaborateness, sumptuousness,
brilliancy and tastefulness all their previ
ous -effrots. Never before have the Uli
putians scored such a hit and unqualified
success as during their long run in New
York. Nightly the theatre was crowded to
its utmost capacity and it was the same
wherever they have appeared. The little
artists are tody more popular than ever
and have added thousands of new admir
ers to the legion of old friends. “The
Golden Horseshoe” has an interesting and
coherent plot. It deals with an immense
legacy which has been left by a woman
in a Western town to midgets less than
three feet high. The woman's brother, tbe
sheriff of the place, a midget himself, is
convinced that up to the date named in
the will no other people will turn up and
is very disagreeably surprised when all of
a sudden quite an aggregation of small
folks appear and claim their share in the
inheritance.
The key to. the treasure has been buried
by the eccentric testator at the 'bottom of
the sea where it is discovered by the
smallest of the midgets. The play gives a
better opportunity than ever before to all
the little people to display their versatile
•talents and to keep their audiences in
constant merriment. Ebert's and Zink's
disguises are as numerous as they are
charming. From a natty sailor and volun
teer soldier they change to transatlantic
tourists, croaking frogs, famous composers,
valiant war heroes and a dozen characters,
always gaining applause and admiration
by their cuteness nd finished acting.

HOLIDAYS
ora
President's Visit Gives Busi
ness a Lively Boom.
STORES FULL Os CHRISTMAS
The Best Time of The Year For
Merchants to Advertise Their
Bargains.
Holiday week hae. commenced in Macon
this year .under unusual auspices. The
coming of the president has given business
2- boom and the rush of visitors ro the
city this morning augured well for the
rest of the week’s trade. Probably never
before in the history of the city has there
been so splendid a display of •Christmas
good** in all the stores and never before
has there been so much money in circu
lation generally in the city as at this time.
The merchants of the city have done
themselves credit in the displays and in
their purchase of Christmas novelties for
Christmas presents. The people of the
city feel that they are better able to buy
liberally this year than has been the case
for the past ten years in the city. The
pay rolls of the different regiment® now
stationed around the city have aggregated
something like a quarter of a million of
money and this amount is evenly distrib
uted tnrougnout tbe business houses and
will coniine to circulate for some time to
corne before it finds its way back into the
banks. And there is a prospect that these
good conditions will continue. The sol
diers are already looking forward to to
another pay day and the turning loose of
another quarter of a million of money
means much to-the business men.
t Ihe streets were thronged with people
.tom 0,11 early hour this morning, present
ing a very lively appearance.
Notwithstanding the counter attraction
the merchants were kept busy, an indica
tion that with nothing else to draw away
their attention the buyers will continue
to make things lively for the rest of the
week.
The wide-awake merchant at a time like
this, when the newspapers are read by the
peoj le of a city, seek the b?st method of
gaining publicity for their offerings and
J.'* News unhesitatingly siys that ;t is
acie to furnisn to the mer. n i tts of M;coi.
th«> F.e.t and the most thu-.>ii.’a cir.u la:ivn
among all ciasses in the city.
The circulation of the News in the
camps of the soldiers is more than double
that of all the newspapers put togethe”
that go into the camps. The soldiers look
eagerly for the News and read it. Then
again the paper gets into the homes of
the city. It is read through by the rich
and poor and a glance he the columns of
the News will satisfy 'any merchant that
the paper is patronized as an advertising
medium by the best business men and
houses.
In the columns of the News will be
found suggestions for the buvers of
Christmas goods and it is safe to 'say that
just at this time advertisements are more
carefully read than at any other time in
the year.
The purchase of Christmas presents is
a custom and a necessity, and how to se
lect a suitable gift is what is nuzzling
every man. woman and child in the city
today. For this reason the suggestions
offered by the merchants are looked for
and are followed. The most careful ad
vertisers have made a test of this and are
satisfied that it is so.
The merchant who has Christmas pres
ents for sale as well as staple goo Is w ill
find rhe advertisements in the News are
read and he cannot but get good results.
The buyer for this wwek Will waste no
time in “shopping,” but will,as a rule,
make up their minds what they want be
fore they start out on their expeditions.
They do this as a result of reading the
advertising colums of the News carefully,
and it will be found to be a fact that more
than half of the people who are buying
in the city tor the rest of this week will
come in town with lists made out from
the advertising columns of the News.
Everyone is in good spirits. Everyone
feels that his is indeed to be a merry
Christmas, and the spirit of good will is
abroad in the city.
But the wise merchant will advertise
his goods every day throughout this week.
He can lotafford to miss the opoimni y
and he cannot afford to say that people
will buy anywhere they please without
regard to advertising. At the end of-the
week it will be found that the merchant
who has done the best advertising and has
selected that medium which reaches the
largest number of people in the camps and
in the homes of Macon has reaped the
richest harvest during the week.
An immense turn of money will change
hands several times over in the city this
week. The individual will spend money
with the merchant and the merchant will
In his turn spend it with another mer
chant and so it will go on. Everyone will
do a share of the buying and as everyone
reads the News over every day it follows
that the advertisers of the News will get
the biggest share of the business.
After all advertising is only an invest
ment of a. very small per cent of the
amount that comes in as a result. News
paper advertising judiciously done Is the
best medium that reaches the buyers and
the offers more opportunities and
better opportunities 'to talk to the people
of the city and in the city than any other
medium.
