Griffin has decided to select candi
dates for municipal offices by a white
primary. Her decision is a wise one
and Columbus would do well to adopt
the came plan. Nothing contributes
eo largely to the buying and selling of
votes and the debauchery of the ballot
as the abandonment of the plan of
Dominating candidates by while pri
maries and allowing the negroes to
participate in tbe elections. We be
lieve that Ibis oily should nominate its
municipal ticket io a white primary,
after which tbe election of candidates
would be a mere matter of form and
there would be no occasion for tbe de
bauchary of the colored voters.—Co

BAILEY HILL-
A Quiet Church Wedding nt St.
Georges Last Might
Last night at St. George's Episcopal
church in this city Mr. Fleming G. Bailey
was united in marriage to Mrs. Elisabeth
Andrew Hill by Rev. George A. Whitney
the rector, who read the beautiful Episco
palian ceremony in the presence of friends
and relatives of the contracting parties.
The ceremony occurred at 7:80 o’clock
and soon afterwards they boarded the
Southern train on a tour East where the
best wishes of all follow them.
The marriage was a surprise in onesense
of the acceptation as It was not known
until yesterday that tbo marriage would
be consummated at this time, but Mrs.
Hill and Mr. Bailey have been friends
since childhood and their names have
been coupled together frequently and
while marriage has been thought probable
it was a remote probability.
To-day the many friends of Mr. Bailey
and his bride will waft their wishes
to them that their fondest hopes may be
realised, ,
Mr. Bailey is a gentleman of wealth and
high character and his bride Is a lady of
culture and beauty who is admired over
the south for her intellectuality.
At Camp Worthen.
Camp Nortben now has the largest
regiment of men ever encamped upon
tbia beautifnj site before. Il is believed
the Third regiment will be full by
Friday.
The officers and men are evidently
entertaining grave fears of tbe possi
bility of being mustered out of service
now that tbe war is over
Although ever}- item is closely
guarded against the newspapots, it is
known that a called meeting ol every
commissioned officer in camp was held
at Col. Candler’s quarters at 12 o'clock
Tuesday night to discuss the proper
conrso to pursue to prevent the order
for disbanding the regiment.
What was done at this meeting
could not be learned, but it is known
that Col. Candler waa in communica
tion with tbe war department all day
and that recruits were being rushed to
ibe camp as rapidly as possible.
Many private consultations between
the colonel and officers were held dur
ing the day.
Some/wished to petition the war de
partment to be sent to Santiago, while
others would go anywhere in the world
rather than disband, but Col. Candler
would allow no petition ol any nature
to be circulated.
Only five men to each company are
allowed passes from the grounds each
day. This goes rather bard on tbe
men, who have been in the habit of
visiting our city each night, and much
complaining is heard But that is the
order and muet he obeyed.
Seventy two guards are now sta
tioned around the grounds during the
day and double thia number during
tbe night. Tbie makes it next to an
impossibility for one to run the lines.
The men, however, are making tbe
beet of this and always spend their
idle moments in learning tactics in
their company street.
Capt. A. J. Burr, of this place, has
gained the admiration of our entire
people. Hie ia recognized as tbe very
beat company in camp and has decid
edly tbe prettiest appearance upon
dress parade. Every man is well
drilled and a good specimen of health.

Her Funeral Occurred Here Yeeter
day at Noon
_______
Yesterday at noon tbe remains of
Mrs. Martha Leak Sparks were interr
ed at tbo'cilizens cemetery io this city,
her death having occurred at Jolly on
Sunday afternoon after an extended
illness.
Mrs Sparks, at the lime of her
death was just 83 years old and while
her death was not unexpected she left
her loved ones unprepared for tbe
shock of her dissolution.
Some time ago oho was stricken with
paralysis and at her age hope of re
covery seemed almost forlorn, her
relatives and friends administered
every comfort that loving kindness
could suggest and with her every wish
anticipated watched her to the end.
Her sufferings were borne with
Christian fortitude as she was a Con
sistent member of the Methodist
church from her earlier years and as
she had lived in the beauties of a per
fect faith in her Redeemer, so she
died. She leaves four living children
to mourn her loss and cherish the
memory of a loving mother. They
are Mr. J. W. Sparks, Mrs. Ella Jones,
Mr. Lad Sparks and Mr. William
Sparks
Death at Sunny Side.
Mrs. Evelyn Kell Spalding, widow of
Col. Chas. Spalding and sister of Capt.

o’clock at her residence near Sunny Side,
in Spalding county.
Her funeral services will be held In Da
rien, Ga., and her remains interred by the
side of her husband in the beautiful ceme
tery, near that city, and given to the city
by Col. Spalding, the consecration ser
vices for the same being held by the late
Bishop Beckwith and the citizens of Da
rien. The land was a portion of tbe es
tate of his inheritance from his fkther,
Hun. Thomas Spalding, for whom this
county is named.

The teesonz to be drawn from the Span
ish-American sea fights are not clear, sat
isfactory and concluolvl With the barely
possible exception of the sinking of the
Merrimac, as suggested by Lieutenant
Hobson, the torpedo has played no part in
the naval engagements, and of ramming
there has not been any. It was even so
atYalu and throughout the war between
China and Japan. But are we satisfied
that if the conditions favored the use of
torpedoes or rams by the Americans they
would not have fairly realized some of tbe
great expectations concerning one or both
of theae instruments of destruction f
“The torpedo boat destroyers founder
ed,’’ said the brave Spanish Admiral Oer
vera In his report to General Blanco. Yes,
and the foundering was brought about by
the good practice of the gunners of the
Gloucester, a smart armed yacht. Car
vers's ships were faster than those of
Sampson, but they did not get away.
Thirteen Inch guns can hurl many tons of
shot and shell into the enemy before the
advantage in speed of a few knots an hour
will avail for the emergency.
The effect of armament on armor is not
yet accurately ascertained. Several points
have, however, been made clear by the
naval engagements—viz, (1) that modern
shells readily set fire to the woodwork of
warships, and that therefore wood must
be avoided or made fireproof; (2) that
speed is relatively more Important from
strategical than from fighting considera
tions; (8) that in fair fight superiority in
marksmanship and quick firing means
victory, and (4) that the Americans can
do that which they claim—“shoot straight
and obey orders.’’ —Landon Shipping
World.

Notwithstanding the danger, there are
always plenty of men to be had at the wa

ever, to keep them at work. They are apt
to tire of it very soon, and all sorts of
reasons are given for quitting.
Not long ago a stout-colored man ap

and the foreman at once engaged him.
He was given charge of a mule and started
In on his duties. Not until the third day
did he show any objection to the work.
Then he came Into the foreman’s room.
“Bom,** he said, “I gotter quitdls job."
“What’s wrong!”
“Well, boss, It’s dat mule. I never see
no such a cantankerous mule as dat ar*

“What’s tbe matter with the mule!” .

“Did the mute kick you!"
“Did de muteklck me!”
The ootered/xnan echoed the foreman’s
words in • tone expressive of the moat
withering sarcasm. Then he placed hta
hands across the pit of his stomach and
stooped forward.

DUTK OP HOWARD wma
Ona of Macon's Most Admirable Young
Men Called to Hie Long Home.
Mr Howard Barr died ibis morning
at tbe home of his mother, Mrs.
George W. Burr, on Orange street.
While tbe announcement of tbo
death of one us Macon's most prom
ising young tntu wss not unexpected
by tbe family and friends, It will be a
shock t> tbo general community,wbicb
was unaware of tbj very terioaa nature
of bis illneoo.
Mr. Burr bae been in poor health for
a number of years and it has been
known for some lime that be could
not live. <
Tbe end came peacefully at an ear
ly hour this morning and a life full of
promise wae closed.
Mr. Burr leaves a wife and one
young child, only a few months old.
He married Mice Speer, daughter of
Judge Emory Speer. Two sisters,
Mrs, Obarlee Leonard and Miss Alice
Burr, and one brother, Mr, George W,
Burr, survive him. Also, bis mother,
widow of tbe late George W. Barr,who
was one of tbe oldest and most highly
respected citizens of Macon.
Mr. Howard Burr was still a very
young man, a little over 30 years of
age. He was for a long lime secretary
of the Central City Loan and Trust
Association, being associated with Ma
jor William Henry Ross in tbe very
successful conduct of the affairs of
that,company. He was a young busi
ness man of tbe most pronounced
financial ability and but for bis lung
continued illness and early death
would certainly have advanced to a
most prominent position in commer
cial circles. Those who knew him
best speak of Mr. Burr as a most love
able and admirable character. He bad
as large a circle of close friends as any
young man of his age in tbe city and
bis death will be most sincerely
mourned.
