Macon, Ga., Nov. 17.—(Special).—
When the Tenth regiment of immnnes,
colored, reached their camp yesterday a
large number of the men came to the
city and some of them proceeded to
make trouble at once. The first dem
onstration took place in South Macon,
when a party of them attempted to
make a street car conductor turn his car
around- and take them for a ride. There
were abont twenty in the party. A tel
ephone message was sent to provost
headquarters and a body of twenty men
went to the scene of the trouble and ar
rested every one of the negroes and car
ried them to the guard house, where
they were held until a guard from their
regiment came for them.
Some trouble was also had with sev
eral of them at a store in Vineviile, and
they, too, were arrested and carried to
the guard house.
All of the negroes had on side arms,
consisting of belt and bayonet. The
bayonets were for the Krag-Jorgenson
rifle and are shaped very much like a
long dagger. One of the negroes drew
this weapon on a gentleman in Vineviile,
and but for the timely intervention of
outsiders trouble would have ensued.
Every negro soldier who was found on
the streets without a pass was promptly
arrested and carried to the guard house,
and in a short while there was hardly
standing room in the large building.
The non-commissioned officers and pri
vates were confined separately.

In the Gate City by the Appearance In a Box at

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 17.—(Special)—
Atlanta society was shocked tonight by
seeing T. J. Leftwich occupying a box
at the Grand theatre with Mrs. Maud
Jordan Ross, who has brought him into
notoriety. The couple are at this time
under indictment. Leftwich’s wife is
sniug for a divorce and alimony and
hanging over his head are indictments
in two courts charging him with living
criminally with the Ross woman. He
sticks to the woman and deserts his wife
and in sensational statements tries to
justify his course and holds up his
‘loved one” as all that is pure and good
He believes that his so-called “holy
love” purifies all.
Columns upon columns about this
queer couple have been printed in the
local papers, and at the theatre tonight
they received almost as much attention
as the players on the stage. Mrs. Ross
through sickness, is almost bald, but to
night she had on a wig, and being ele
gantly attired looked like a girl of
twenty.

Parte Paper Makes an Attack on Orest Britain
— and America.
Paria^Nov. 17.—The Temps this morn
ing, in an attack upon Great Brit

that neither can stand alone in the far

will be compelled to accept the open
door policy in the Philippines, for the
sake of British help in China.
The old double-barrelled cannon of
the Mitchell Thunderbolt’s is now owned
by the city and is on the city hall lot.
Capt. Barnett has been instructed to
have the cannon mounted at the head
of the park on College avenne near the
Confederate monument.
There is a history of unique interest
that goes along with this old cannon.
In the first place it is the only double-
barrelled cannon in the world. In the
next place it was invented with a most
peculiar idea in the mind of the inven
tor.
It belonged to the Mitchell Thnrder-
bolts, a company of old men organized
here in 1868 purely for home defense.
One of this company, Mr. John Cille-
land, invented this cannon and had it
cast at the Athens foundry
The idea of Mr. Gilleland was one of
considerable uniqueness. A fifty foot
chain with the ends attached to two
cannon balls was the charge, and the
idea of the inventor was that when the
cannon balls came out of the muzzle of
the cannon, they would have a tendency
to diverge, draw the chain taut, and
mow down an entire company.
The company took the cannon out in
the country near Athens one day to test
it. It was properly charged and was
touched off with great ceremony. One
of the halls got ont a little ahead of the
other and then the mischief was to play.
It had a kind of circular motion and
ploughed up abont a quarter of an acre
of ground, the members of the company
in the meantime scattering in all direc
tions to keep from being hit by the fly
ing chain.
The old cannon was never used after
that except at an occasional democratic
jubilee when charges of powder would
be fired. Abont five years ago the old
cannon disappeared, and not until a few
days ago did our,people know where it
was. Last week it turned up in a junk
shop, but it was promptly purchased by
the city.
Mr. Nenmyer, who owned the cannon

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 17.—Special—The
picture of Tom Watson on a railroad
train with his knife in his hand, ready
to resent what he thought was an insult
by the conductor, is one that arises
from a story that is going the rounds,
Mr. Watson had been at Cusseta, in
Chattahoochee county, defending
Bagley, the Popnlist nominee for the
legislature who is under indictment for
killing Adams, the Democratic nominee,
and was returning to his home on a
Southern railway train, between Colum
bus and Warm Springs, when the
trouble occurred.
Conductor Charles.Kendall was run
ning train and Mr. Watson occupied a
seat in the first-class coach. He had or
dered supper to be brought on the train,
and Conductor Kendall said that he
must go into the smoking car to eat, as
the supper could not be brought into the
ladies’ car.
Didn’t Like Smoke.
Mr. Watson said that it made him
sick to eat in the midst of tobacco smoke,
and insisted on having his supper where
he was.
At the time the conductor was at the
end of the car and Mr. Watson, accord
ing to reports of the affair, was stand
ing with his hands on the door posts ar
guing the qnestion.
There was a lady in the car to get off
and the conductor had to go «hd help
her ont. He left talking with Mr. Wat
son abruptly, it is said, pushed him aside
and went hack to the lady.
Mr. Watson is reported to have con
strued this action as a personal affront,
and it is said that when the conductor
came back Mr. Watson had his knife out
and called to the conductor, saying that
they mnst settle the business.

The occupation of Cienfugos is also

What Mr. W. A. Jester Did by Cultivating Three
Crops on Two Acres of Ground.
Mr. W. A. Jester has made a record
farming.
And the record was made on two
acres of land in the city near Mr. Jes
ter’s residence.
Last fall Mr. Jester planted the land
in rnst proof oats. In the spring he
gathered in 29,000 pounds from the two
acres. He then planted the same land
in German millet and later on gathered
15,000 pounds. He then planted a crop
of forage corn and a few weeks since
gathered 10,000 ponnds of it.
On the two acres in one year he made
45,000 pounds of provender, or a little
more than twenty-two tons. A yield of
eleven tons to the acre is certainly en
titled to the record.
Mr. Jester didn’t fertilize his ground
very much and was not put to very
much expense to make this big crop.

The approaching game of football
which is to be played in Atlanta Thanks
giving Day between Anborn and Geor
gia is creating a great deal of interest in
Athens and in college circles.
It will be remembered that four games
have been played between these teams,
all of them in Atlanta, and that Auburn
has won two and Georgia has also been
victors on two occasions. In the spring
of ’92, in the first football game played
in this part of the south, Anborn won,
and the score was 10 to 0. In ’93 there
was no game, while in ’94 Georgia won
and 10 to 8 told the tale. ’95 saw a dis
astrous defeat for Georgia, and Auburn
rejoiced, 16 to 6 being' the score. In ’96
Georgia agem won, and after one of the
hardest fought games of football ever
witness in Atlanta, Georgia was victo
rious by a score of 12 to 6.
This year the game will be played to
decide the^rub” and it is sure to be a
fine exhibition of scientific football.
Auburn is hard at work and with the
aid of several coaches will turn ont a
strong team. Georgia’s team showed
what it could do, in the contest with
Vanderbilt. Anbura so far has played
Techs and won by score of 29 to 4 and
lost to North Carolina by score 24 to 0.
If she can win this contest with Georgia
however, she will he satisfied and con
sider her entire season as most glorious.
If Georgia wins she will be champions
of the Southern Inter-collegiate Athletic
Association, which coveted position she
held in 96. .Georgia has won from
Clemson 20 to 8, Techs 16 to 0, Atlanta
16 to 0, Vanderbilt 4 to 0 and lost to
North Carolina.
The Georgia boys have been hard at
work for the past few days and are get
ting in readiness for the approaching
meet,'which is always the most im
portant of the football season.
L£rge croypds of citizens and students
are coming over to see the game. It ‘is
probable that the railroads running into
Atlanta will put on reduced rates and
that hundreds of football enthusiasts
will come in from all the Georgia towns
to see this contest.
The game will be played at Piedmont
Park, which has been rolled and pnt in
the very best condition possible.
The Georgia boys are not disheartened
by North Carolina but are determined
