Macon News: Some excitement has been
created In the military circles of the cite
by the rumor that Judge Hardeman of
Bibb superior court mav declare as 1110
gal all Jury exemptions that each com
pany holds above the regular number—
fifteen—that the genera] law' of the stale
allows each company, which exemptions
re sold to citizens, who are known on
the roll of the company as
••pay members.” The law nlso requires
that the exemptions must not be sold for
Jess than 325 per annum each. There arc
many companies in the state that have
been granted more than fifteen exemp
tions. This has been done by special en
actment of the legislature. It is these
special exemptions which. It is said. Judy
Hardeman may declare Illegal. It Is pre
Burned that If this is his view. It Is ba'ed
on the fact of a special law In conflict
with a general law Is Illegal. It Is pos!
b! that Judge Hardeman may not de
cllq that the special exemptions are ille
gal. It Is also said that some leading
lawyers of the city are of the opinion
that the exemptions are legal and valid.
If Illegal, It will be n serious blow to the
military companies of Macon, for some
of them are chiefly supported by the
money arising from the sale of jury
exemption*. Some companies, it is s; i
charge more than others for the exemp
tions, and some have a greater number
of exemptions than others. The average
number is about forty. One company lias
as many as a hundred. At $2". an exemp
tion, this company would derive $2 si cy
annum, provided all were so'd every year
In the event that the spec'al exemption
are held to b" illegal it has been suggested
that the general law be amend and. and th
number of exemptions be Increase i from
fifteen to twenty-five, and that each ex
emptlon be sold at fino p r annum. T!u>
would give ech company 52.500 per an-'
hum. But for the jury exemptions some of
the military companies would have to dis
band for want of suffie'ent funds to con
tinue the organization. The niggardly pol
icy of the stale makes it impossible foi
the military to exist without the fund
arising from the sa'e of the exemption*.

Titusville Advocate: As an Indication
of how- H. M. Flagler—the great friend of
the east coast—is likely to look upon Ihe
project of building a shell road from one
end of Brevard county to the other,' we
mention the fact thnt he subscribed StklO
for the bridge across Man Galie creek
and road Improvements in that neighbor
hood. His cheek for the amount men
tioned was received by the committee
having the matter in charge, before work
was begun on the road. In addition to his
ensh contribution of S6OO, he gave four
lots, worth $75 each, in order to furnish
land for opening op a 66-foot street. For
the shell road—w-hich a majority of our
citizens seem so anxious to have con
structed—Mr. Flagler will furnish the
necessary shell at a nominal figure. It hs
laien stated—but we do nol know bow good
the authority may be—that be will charge
nothing for the shell, and will slmplv ask
to be paid the bare cost of getting it out
and transportation. In this oonneetion it
is well to mention that the Jacksonville.
St. Augustine and Indian River railroad
•wn an Immense she'l mound known as
Two Dollar Rluff. This is probably one
of the largest deposits of shell along the
east coast of Florida.
No Time t-o Talk.
“Can I speak to you in private?” he
whispered, as he entered a Brush street
saloon and bent over the bar to get nearer
the man behind it, says the Detroit Free
Press.
“No free drinks here!” bluntly replied
the bartender, as he rubbed at the mirror
with a bit qf rag.
"No, of course not. I’m not after a free
drink."
"No money to givo aw-yl"
■ "I’m not expecting any. If vou are not
too much occupied 1 should like to speak
to you in private.”
"]’m too busy!”
‘‘Sorry—very sorry!" sighed the man as
he turned away. "I'm a stranger in town
and would like to talk to someone in con
fidence. You look to me like an honest,
truthful man."
"I’m honest nnd truthful,” replied the
bartender, "but I can’t be worked for a
dime to get a lodging with. .Might as
well save your breath.”
"I don't want no dime. I simply want
to ask your opinion."
"My opinion is that you’d better get
out 1”
“And you won't talk to me in confi
dence?"
"Look a-here, old man!” exclaimed the
bartender as he wheeled around, "I don’t
want any more guff. If you have any
thin-/ to say to me, out with it!”
"Well. I did want to speak to vou fn
private.” said the s* ran per. as he scraped
at Ihe sawdust on the floor, "but if you
won't have it that way. I must do the best
1 can. Do you know- of n saloon on this
street I co’-ld buy for about $10,000” 1
have only $5,000 here, but the rest is in the
back.”
Then be hauled a wad of greenbacks out
of his right-band breeches pocket—a sec
ond out Of Wo left-hand, an! from bis hi.i
pockets he hauled on', "wads” arid stacked
(hem on the bar 'till the man behind it
tuvned as pale as death.
"Might go as high as $15,000. but s’o,ooo
would be nearer the figure," eni® the man,
is he began refilling his pockets. "Perry
vou were too busy to talk to me confiden
tially. but the chap In the saloon below
ntav have a minute or ”0 to snare. Good
night snd pleasant dreams to vou.”
And a customer who came In five mtn
v*es later found the bartender ehewi"g

New York, Feb. 9.—Rlordan * Co.'s
weekly report of cotton says: “The cot
ton market this week displayed more ac
tivity, May covering an extreme fluctua
tion of 16 points, touching 6.45 c and 5 61c
The net result, however, bring untmpnrt:
ant. May showing only 4 points advance
from last Saturday's closing. To-day's
market was dull and featureless Liver
pool declining 1-64, on which our market
opened lower, but subsequently improved
about 3 points, under reduced offerings
Dealers were not dlsnosed to n-,,ik- uew
engagements until after the bureau re
port, which will be Issued on Monday
and which gives the amount of cotton left
| on plantations Feb. 1. The hear element,
in expee'ation of r. light movement next
week, were timid, though thev claim that
the light movement the last few days and
that predicted for next week, is due to
the very severe weather prevailing
throughout the cotton region, ami they
profess to expect a large Incr. 11 e as
soon as the weather moderates. The un
easiness inregard to the gold standard
having been relieved, the final prospects
have steadily improved, and this has oon
tributc-d somewhat to the strength of cot
ton. Dealers generally, however, continue
to maintain a waiting attitude, express
ing little confidence In an improvement at
this period and appretnndirg a continu
ance of full planting If prices are ad
vanced and held, for any convincing
effect on speculators and dealers because
of former experiences. It seems to h>.
generally expected that low prices will
have a considerable effect on the use of
fertilizers, and the bulls may take more

New York, Feb. 9 —The Sun says of cot
ton "To-day's features: There was no
thrilling excitement, no wide sweep 0 r
quotations and enormous aggregate of
transactions. In fact, the speculation was
a small affair. But. nevertheless, prices
advanced because of small r-eelpts at the
ports and buying here for local and Eu
ropean Account. It Is expect 1 that the
re-ce:pts during the coming week or ten
days will be light, and however much
some operators r.iay be disposed to be
little this feature, ft seems that Europe
is disposed to buy under the circum
stances. Weather Is too coll at the south
to move cotton freely The laborers are
not clothed for such inten“-dv cold weather
and the question Is whether they keep rea
sonably comfortable Indoors, to eay noth
ing of the possibility of outdoor work.
Rut, still, the present co idltions are re
garded as rather abnormal than other
wise. and the bears contend that the cot
ton is there, and must come out sooner
or later. Supplies are unipie. trade is
quiet and speculation Is anything but
marked. Some who formerly pooh-poohed
bearish estimates now stand aghast at
the actual figures and thy possibilities
which they suggest."

New York, Feb. 9—The stock market
opened Irrcg- 1: r,but soot dev lot ed wc ik
ness. London bought a few stocks in the
first half hour of business, and some of
the leading issues? advanced to % per
cent. Northwestern, however, was p>-essed
for sale, and on liberal offerings for the
short account, the price dropped from 95%
to 91%. The statements submitted for 1894
was unfavorable. The bears were also ac
tive in the general list and were inclined
to think that tho good effect of the bond
issue has been discounted. Usually well
informed bankers do not take this view
of the case and assert that when the bond
matter Is fully undi rstefod it w ill be found
to be of great benefit to the finances of the
country. The Cammack-Weil contingent
wire active throughout and succeeded in
bringing about u decline of % fo 1% per
cent. Sugar. St. Paul, Rock Island, Bur
lington. Pacific Mail, Louisville and Nash
ville. Missouri Pacific, Omaha. Western
Union and Chicago Gas were the greatest
sufferers outside of Northwestern. The
market closed weak. Net changes show
losses of % to % per cent. Delaware and
Hudson and Manhattan gained Lend

this morning, and those who were short
ght an 1 who, therefore, were fai
from being h< klers. rallied to fhe .-wlpport
of the maiket at a loss to themselves. The
unconcern of the outside to the condition
of the market and business generally was
not favorable to strength, however, and
price*, from sheer inactivity, declined.
Prominent professional bears accommo
dated buyers with all the wheat desired
without, in the aggregate, doing a great
amount of selling. At the close a moder
ate recovery took place, no particular in
formation warranting an advance being
heard, however. May wheat opened at
5344 c, sold between 5S%c and 53%c, closing
where it opened—%@%c higher than yes
terday. Trading in the cash market was
on a basis of %c decline.
Corn—The corn maiket was rather stiff
at the start. May opening from unchanged
to %o above where it rested yesterday.
The continuation of low temperature
through the country, higher cables and
light receipts were combined, most encour
aging, but under free selling it developed
that there was a lack of confidence in the
crowd. At 45c for May, a struggle between
opposing concerns occurred, but it did not
take long for those who were pressing the
market vvtth corn to gain the mastery,
their advantage being made the less diffi
cult by the action of wheat. May corn
opened from 45 to 45%c .declined to 44%'u
444x0, closing at 44%4i 44%0—%@ ‘ic under
yemterday. Cash corn was a full cent
lower than yesterday. Oats were lighted
on their way by the adjoining mar
kets. A few minutes raiding near to the
close forced values slightly lower, but it
was not persisted in long enough to make
marked the depression, and when the ef
forts to weaken the market were aban
doned, fractional rallies ensued. May
closed a fraction lower than yesterday.
Cash oats sold %c under yesterday.
"rowlons—Hogs did not arrive In ex
traordinary numbers to-day, but as the
roads begin to get In better shape, and
with the prospect that farmers will ship,
rather than reed their corn during the
continuation of the cold weather. It Is
anticipated that the runs will become lar
ger to the disadvantage of prices. This
theory was averse to strength In product,
as shown by the declines and weakness
to-day. At the close, May pork was 15c
lower than yesterday; May lard, 7%c low
er, and May ribs 7Vi@loe lower.

“Dogs boarded here,” and other amazmr
enterprises can be seen placarded in the
windows of a handsome uptown flat, sub
let to colored citizens by a reckless ten
ant. The woman who owns the apartment
house is hopping fnad, of course, and will
seek legal aid to curb the eccentricities of
her new rent payers. Almost everything
goes here, but most all residence districts
draw the line on dogs' boarding-houses.
A picturesque thing about the Brooklyn
strike Is the cheerful way the new con
ductors have of pocketing fares. From
one run over there yesterday a conductor
collected nickels from eighty-one persons
and rung up twenty-seven fares. On ihe
same car last night, which was so packed
that fifteen people stood on the rear plat
form, the register at,the end of the trip
recorded thirty-five fares. This is hardly
fair, as the motorman has the cold end of
the job and takes all the chances to boot.
The conductors secured on the outsldn
are evidently not so green as the gen
eral public imagines.
If the souvenir fad spreads much fur
ther among the theaters where bills set
dom change during the season silver will
find anew market. The latest gifts to pa
trons of some theatrs are of genuine
sterling stiver, and are pretty as well as
serviceable. At one house sliver bon-bon
boxes were given to every lady and they
cost the management $1.50 each wholesale.
They bora the mark of the maker, whose
reputation is a sufficient guarantee of the
genuineness. Tho day of the satin pro
gramme and the trashy statuette has dis
appeared and something worth saving
will In Ihe future coax people to the play
house on souvenir night*.

It Interferes with funerals It is much
worse. The other day the coron r signed
a certificate and handed It to an under
taker far uptown. The latter then went
ahead with the funeral of a babe, and
at the proper time the cortege reached a
Brooklyn cemetery. The certificate was
handed to the superintendent of the cltv
of the dead, who, as soon aa he glanced
at it, said; "This burial cannot take
place. There has been a mistake. This cer
tificate is for birth, not for death," and
so it was. The bereaved family had to re
turn to this city with the body of th
child, secure a regularly signed death cer
tificate, and once more drive over the
long route to the grave. Some depart
ments of municipal government are a
great deal more pnrtlcu'ar than others.
