tance.
At thi* morning's session of the Dairy
men's Association the following afficers
•were elected for the ensuing year: R. J.
Redding, president; R. E. Park, vice pre«-
ident: 'M. L. Duggan, secretary, and H. F.
Wing, treasurer.
The marketing of -the products of the
dairy was the theme of an Interesting dis
cussion led by Mr. E. E. Field and Mr. S.
T. McElroy. The dairy industry in Ala
bama wae discussed by Mr. T. H. Bate,
<he secretary o! the Dairymen’s Association
of that state. He said the Industry <was
growing in Alabama and answered many
specific questions from gentlemen present.
A most interesting event of the morning
was the address of Mr. W. L. William
son, of Harmony Grove, on the practical
benefit* accruing from the development of
rthe dairy industry. He related his own ex
perience as a dairyman. He has been very
«uece«sfti] and was able to answer many
questions relating to dalfy economics. Fi
nally one gentleman plumped at him the
►peeific question a« to wh'ther dairy farm-
Jng was more profitable in Georgia than
cotton farming. Mr. Williamson answered
promptly that under the present conditions |
of the cotton market dairying was far
mare profitable.

CHRISTMAS MEAT
Game and Poultry, and In
Fact Everything Needed
For the Table
The exhibition of Christmas meats made
toy the Abel Packing Company at their
store on Cherry street is attracting gen
eral attention today and is deserving of
the high praise bestowed upon this enter
prising firm.
One of the first things that strikes 'the
passer-by is a magnificent beef weighing
upwards of a thousand pounds. This is
one of the shipments received by the Abel
Packing Company and is as fine as ever
has been brought from the West to the
South, in fact nothing finer could be se
cured in any of the Northern markets.
The Abel Packing Company has the rep
utation of being able to supply the Christ
mas demand for the Macon trade to per
fection. Their meats at all times are the
best that can be secured and 'the customer
can get the best that the market affords.
The finest and juicest Western meats
are on exhibition and sale.
The supply of game secured by the Abel i
Packing Company this year is fully up to
the standard. Venison. quail, doves and ;
in fact everything that could be in demand
for the table at Christmas time are to be
found there.
Among other things are cured and ,
pickled tongues, smoked tongues, and hams ■
from the finest pigs, in slices if required, j
fancy breakfast bacon by the strip or in :
small orders of a few pounds sliced.
The Abel Packing Company is renowned ;
for their sausage. It is of home manufac
ture and is equal to anything that can be
found in the United States. They have the
sausages from the common mixed to the
finest, and made altogether of pork and
from the hams and the terderloine.
Weiners, liver sausage, blood sausage, and
■the finest imported sausage.
Perhaps the thing that has attracted the
most attention this morning has been the
immense hog which was sent to the Abel .
Packing Company some months ago by
one of the most responsible farmers in
•this section. At the time it was received
the hog weighed 1,600 pounds. It has in
creased somewhat in weight since that
time and will be slaughtered early in Jan
uary. The Abel Packing Company offers
■to the person who guesses nearest to the
weight of the hog at the time it is killed
e fine Western turkey.
Abel’s exhibition of poultry is also de
serving of the attention of those who are
looking for good things. Their turkeys are
superior to the Georgia or Tennessee tur
key. They come from Kansas City and are
saidsto be the best shipment that has ever
been received in Macon.
Altogether it is worth any one’s while

WITHTHESBLDItRS
: Happenings of the Day in the
Different Camps.
MW HUMOUS iflttT
In Regard to the Movement of the
Troops Into Cuba, May Go
Soon.
i A large number of visitors were at the
I camp of the Seventh cavalry yesterday as
, ternoon. inspecting the camp and looking
, at the horses.
The men are all clever fellows and take
pleasure in showing the visitors their
camp. Some of the men are entirely new
and are now* in the eo-called “green
souad, ’ under the charge of a sergeant,
who teaches them the different evolutions
of the drill.
Many of the volunteer troops visit the
camp and the regulars and the volunteers
have become good friends. It hae -been
rumored that there is ill feeling between
the regulars and volunteers, but this re
port is untrue. The regulars have been
done a great injustice by the statement,
which is entirely without foundation.
A number of the men were in the city
early last night, but not a man was ar
rested. They conducted themselves in a
gentlemanly manner and since coming here
ha * made many friends.
' try few of the men ever saw each i
other until the regiment reached Hunts- 1
ville, as the regiment has been scattered
a £ over the country.
The men are anxious to go to Cuba
as they did not get an opportunity to go
there while the war was on. They were
left in Arizona to guard (he Indians and
did not see any active service.
CAMP HASKELL.
Great excitement prevailed at the camp
yesterday afternoon when it was learned
that a member of the Sixth Virginia ng
iment had been killed and it was thought
for a Ume that there wculd be a serious
trouble.
There was considerable talk of coming
Into the city and lynching the street car
conductor, but nothing was done and the
officers soon quieted (belli .lov a.
The negroes cf the Sixth Virginia have
beer, a constant source of trouble oince
they have been here, and it >s very preb
bable ti at they will be ordevl away in a
few days. Ad of the men want to get out
of service and it is unders col tut
officers are keeping the author’tns from
mustering them out.
The other three regiments have been
rather quiet for a few days, and they have
given no trouble. The men did not seem
to like the idea of the man being killed
yesterday, but they made no effort to do
anything. •> .* ~
SECOND OHIO.
The colonel issued an order yesterday .
afternoon prohibiting the issuing of passes. 1
It was thought for a time that there woul.d 1
be trouble in the city oil accc un f qf the i
begin king kitted by the street car con- i
ductor. The order was revoked at * ,
o’clock, however, and the men were al
lowed to come into the city.
Yesterday was another pleasant day
with the soldiers, as the weather was
neither too warm or cold. All of the men
seemed to enjoy it and they are hoping
that it will continue.
Captain J. W. White, of company K,
Captain William Slar&ton, of company B,
Captain Lorenzo Gasser, of company E,
First Lieutenant W. S. Wilson, of company
K, Second Lieutenant F. M. Briggs, of
company A, Second Lieutenant iW. E.
Green, of company F, are members of the
court martial which convened at the camp
of the Third Engineers, of which Major
Walke of that regiment is president and
Lieutenant R. D. Layton, of the Second
Ohio is judge advocate. A large number
of cases against men of both regiments
will come up.
Private Frost, of company E. has been
detailed as assistant mall carrier to as
sist Private Abbot. The mail has as
sumed such large proportions that it is im
possible for one man to handle it. 'Many
Christmas things are being sent out from
Ohio and a majority of them are being
sent by mail.
The recent order which was issued some
time ago to the effect that fifty thousand
more volunteers were to be mustered out
was received with much rejoicing by the
men in this camp. Many of the men are
hoping that the order will go into effect
before they are sent into Cuba so that they
will be given an opportunity to get home
by the first of the year.
Private Otto J. Owens, of the regimental
I hospital corps has been granted a seven
'■day’s furlough, which he will spend at
; Bluffton. O.
Corporal- B. F. Smith, of company D. has
secured the same number of days at hrs
home in Van Wert, O. #
j ’ . PROVOST QUARTERS. ’
The men at the provost quarters are '
. moving today. The floors of the
: American National Bank building have |
I been rented by the government and they ■
i will be used as sleeping cu-arters for the
men. As stated in The News several days
ago the quarters have been very crowded |
and has caused much sickness among the ,
men.
The officers soon realized the fact that
if some change was not made that all of j
the men would be sick. The building was j
rented yesterday and the men were put to i
work cleaning it up. This morning com- :
paines F. and K. moved in. The fourth I
I story of the building will be used as a
sleeping Dlace for the sick men who are
reported as sick in quarters.
The men are all rejoicing over the
change and they will have a great deal
more room and will be made more com
fortable. Charges have been preferred
against « great many of the men on duty
during the past several days and they will
be tried by a courtmartial that has as- ;
sembled at Cam? Fornance. None of the ;
charges are serious, however, and it is ’
thought that the men will get off with
light sentences, if any at all.
Second Lieutenant Frank Moody, of
company B. who has been on special de
tail in charge of the division ambulance
corps for several months, has been re
lieved from his duties and ordered to re
turn to his company, as Major Logan
considered that it was necessary to have
all of the officers of the companies at the
quarters on duty.
! Lieutenant Joe Gloesser of company B.
| is officer of the guard.
Private Zeigler of company M. is still
I ill with the measles.

for the purpose of trying such cases as ;
might come before it. There are numer- i
ous offenders in the regiment to be tried, i
Some of the men of the Second Ohio will ,
also be tried.
There is nothing sensational to come up I
as only sergeants, corporals and privates I
are to be tried and they are only charged’ |
with petty offenses such as leaving camp '
without permission and insubordination.
It is understood at the camp that trans- :
portation has been arranged for the two ;
battalions now stationed here tq move into |
Cuba. The place of embarkation has not ■'

anxious to fihd uUL 1
News was received at the camp yester- j
day afternoon that the First battalion had j
reached Matanzas. They embarked from ;
Tampa last Saturday and landed in Cuba |
Thursday. They will go to work at once j
preparing the camps for the troops that
are to come.
The two regiments which are at Knox
ville will embark very soon. These two
regiments go from Charleston to Mantan
zas. . W
The men of the Engineers still remain ;
undivided as to going to Cuba. There are !
still some who wish to go and there are !
some who want to be mustered out.
When the order of the cabinet, which
was published by The News regarding the
mustering out of more tjoop<s was read by
the men who do not want to go, there was
great rejoicing as the men think that this
regiment will be mustered out.
Dress parade and other formations have
been taken up since the rain ceased.
The news that a negro had been killed
in the city* created considerable excitement
at the camp as the men thought that they
would have to take another night march,
duly.anxfiv thek mwr mr m m m m
There is a strict rule in the army for
bidding officers associating with enlisted
men. and the rule is closely observed as
far as the regular troops are concerned,
bpt in the volunteer regiments it is differ
ent. In most of cases the enlisted men
are of the same walk in life as the officers,
are frequently old neighbors and friends,
and all the regulations under the sun can
not keep them from associating when off
duty. There bas been some complaint
here that officers and men of the volunteer
regiments are too intimate, and several
court martials have been threatened, but
as yet nothing of the kind has occurred.
At other military camps in the state,
however, radical measures have been tak
en to break up the practice, and, as a
result, the probabilities are that the or
ganizations will be broken up instead. The
following special from Columbus states
the situation there:
“The commissioned officers of the vol
unteer army are greatly excited over the
enforcement of army regulations prohibit
ing association of officers and enl’sted
' men. It has been the habit of officers
when off duty to accompany enlisted men
i into the city for enjoyment. During the
i past week charges have been filed against
many officers because of associations with
privates. There are now filed six cases
against Kantucky officers, seven West
Virginia, three Indiana, sixteen First Ter
ritorial and twenty-six Ohio, eighteen
Pennsylvania and Third Mississippi offi
cers, and from public statements whole
sale resignations will follow unless the
charges are dismissed. Volunteer officers
are bitter in denunciation of regular offi
cers who. they claim, are instrumental in
having charges filed.”
