8 WHAT HURTS US Unjust Railroad Rates Cutting Off Our Cotton. MACON FACTORS INJUREB Question of Discrimination Which Is Becoming Vital —What We Must Do. Aiderman John T. Moore, of the firm of SHeard At .Moore, cotton factors, was asked f y a News representative today as to the Joss of co'-oi) by Macon factors during the season Just dosing. “I think.” said Mr. Moore, “that Macon Jias lost about 16,000 bales. “What Is the reason?” “We cannot get the rates to which we entitled. We are supposed to have rail road competition, but It is not so. Towne Althin a radius of a hundred miles, that have railroad connections, independent of the existing combinations, beat us in rates to such an extent that farmers do not ship as freely to us as they did formerly. The rate oiiestion In this state is a moist seri <tje one. T h e treatment Macon is receiv ing is so manifestly unjust that no reason able mind can doubt it. We have plenty -of railroad lines but no competition. There ought to be some remedy for the wrong that .ma:n ions or courts can find. We cannot afford to rest under the condition lest our commercial life be absolutely stifled.” THE LILIPUTIANS Will the “Golden Hersethoe*’ t Tonight. The Liliputians who for a decade have /!,((n tiu? rage of the (United States, w'll make their first appearance in Macon to night at the Academy of Music. It is a jjjot • unipue organization, as the principal actors and actresses are midgets meas uring from 2R to 29 inches, while their ages vary from 19 to 36 years. Among these little people are to be found some of the most finished comedians, singers and dancers, in fact actors whose talents can be favorably compared to that of the most popular stars three times their size. To mention the name of Franz Ebert ie sufficient to produce a smile on the face of all who see him, and perpetual merri ment reigns while he occupies the boards. Not less clever is Adolf Zink, the most agile fun-maker that ever graced the stage. And to complete this worthy trio Miss Selina Goerner should be mentioned ,who is doubtless the cleverest of sou- Trets. Among the other litle people who have won a well deserved reputation arc Miss Bertha Jaeger, Miss Toni 'Meister,’ Miss Helene Lindner, Mrs. Eiige Lau-Ebert *"(the vjfe of Mr. Ebert), Mr. Hermann Ring, Mr. Max Walter £wUo the hus band of Miss Meister). The Liliputian company although containing the smallest actors in the world, is dobutlessly one Os the largest traveling organizations extant. The company numbers nearly one hundred jpeople and a special train of five cars is ' ®|l ■ MV n I■f I M VI H H I I TM -iJra ----- - v fi V ■ —----- r>,J needed to transport them from place to place. Besides the full grown supporting actors there is a large corps de ballet com posed of about fifty young and handsome dancers. All the plays presented by rhe Liliputians are spectacular productions on the grandest scale. Mounted in such a luxurious way and with such sumptuotis ness and brilliancy that they must excite the admiration of the septator. The new production of the Liliputians. “The Golden Horseshoe." is by far the-beet of all. not only surpassing all previous plays in Two Suit Reasons. First: True Quality. Second: Best Values. Either peg is big enough to hang a record-beating sea son upon. We do more. Every salesman is instructed to be more solicitous to sell a fitting suit than to sell a high priced one. We want you to be pleased, not only with the style, quality and value of the suit, but with its adaptiveness.

An interest ing plot, witty dialogue and catchy music combine with beautiful spectacular fea j tures. among them the three grand ballets, the Pink French Ball, the Musical Festival ' and the Submarine Dance, in making “The Golden Horseshoe” a play equally inter : estlng to young and old. Among the many • novelties may be mentioned the Lilipu- • tians as the most famous composers and leader® and the living war pictures on the revolving stage with the little artists as I our new national heroes. Taken all in all, • the play is the most enjoyable entertain i ment Imaginable and no one should miss j seeing it. The engagement at the Academy is for tonight only. WANTS MONEY FOR CUBANS. Secretary Will Ask Congress For $2,000,- 000 to Pay Insurgents. Washington, Dec. 28 —Secretary Alger s will soon recommend to congress that an j appropriation be made for the relief of j Cuban soldiers, who left their homes to take up arms and who are now destitute of means. It is the intention of the eecretary that the money advanced the soldiers shall be considered a loan, to be paid to the United States out of the revenues of the island. He will recommend that all soldiers of the Cuban army who resume peaceful pur suits shall receive SIOO in cash. It is es timated that the aggregate expenditure would be $2,000,000. It is not likely that congress will be asked to make an appropriation for relief work in the Philippines. CURE FOR SEASICKNESS. It Is Said That Red Spectacles Solve the Problem. Bright red spectacle®, with an accom paniment of Internal doses of calomel, form a new German specific against sea sickness. The idea Is that as seasickness is induced bv the lack of blood in the brain, and while red sends blood to the brain with a rush, the spectacles will in fluence the brain to behave Itself. It is claimed that by looking at one point throng red glasses for some time the pa tient is radically cured. But what be comes of his optic nerve meanwhile? Jf 1 has a painful effect on that, and one would much rather be seasick than blind. PHOENIX LODGE. Officers Installed by the Grand Treasur er. Pheonlx Lodge No. 12. A. F. and A.

Philadelphia, Dec. 28. —Mayor Nichols, of Wilkesbarre, took a novel way of teaching scolding neighbors a leson. When they were brought before him each side wanted to tell her stbry first, and raising both ands in an appeal for silence the mayor pulled out his watch and put on a dignified and mysterious air. An oppress ive silence followed in the mayor’s court, and for several minutes the chief magis trate sat holding his watch. Not a person stirred, nor was there a word spoken. Then he arose and quietly tiptoed out of the room. A sign to the chief of police and he also went out. the other officers foliowing. The two neighbors and their witnesses sat still for awhile and then the mayor’s lesson dawned upon them. His rebuke of silence should have a good effect. •! \ > SALOON KEEPER ROBBED. Fitzgerald.
