MACON MATTERS.
Macon, Ga„ September SO.—A
] most unique as well as interesting
esse was brought befote the M*con
public this week. Upon applica
tion to the City Council, Mr. T. J.
Cnrling obtained an encroachment
in front of Ills residence, on tbe
corner of Spring and Columbns
streets. The City Council failed
to investigate tbe extent ol tbe en-
oroacbmcnt, merely taking Mr.
Carling’s word for it, and the en
croachment, II used, would entire
ly obstruct one Btreet and partly
another. Before be proceeded to
use it, soma of his neighbors got
wind of it, and at once applied to
the Connoil for • revocation of tbe
grant. Whilst this wss before
tbetn and they were annulling the
grant, Mr. Carling, learning the
fact, at midnight, with a large
number of hands, proceeded to
fence in his encroachment nnd to
obstruct the street. The grant
was duly annulled by the Council
that night, and the question for the
next day was the old ory, "fence
or no fence.” The next morning,
by seven o’clock, Mr. Carling had
on tbe ground to protect the fence,
in addition to himself, Jndge Matt
R. Freeman, aJustice of the Peace,
with a following of Sheriff Woo-
cott and three bailifts, and his ad
vising attorney, Mr. Thomas Wil
lingham, Jr. The adverse party
soon appeared on the scone, head
ed by Chief Wiley, of tho poliee,
with numerous adjuncts; Street
Superintendent Deaton with the
street force, with axes, ploksxes,
hoes, dump carts and picks, and
numerous oilier articles of warfare,
sufficient to demolish the fence.
Upon their arrival, Judgo Freeman
served each, through his bailiffs,
with a peace warrant. That is, be
served tbe City ol Macon witli a
peace warrant through thoir au
thorized agents. It was a novel
proceeding—requiring a corpora
tion to keep tbe peaco with Us cit
izens, a proceeding never known
or heard of before in tho history of
our commonwealth—a proceeding
in which-Judge Freeman stands is
olated, singleized,diitinaisbed and
alone by it lYom his brethren of
the J. P. system of Qeorgia. Chief
Wiley paused an instant, then pro
ceeded to tear away tho fence, dis
regarding the warrants, amid great
excitement and hurrying to and
fro, for by this time a largo orowd
had collected. Tbe street* were
soon cleared, and no casualties are
reported as tba result of tbe fight,
and on tbe battle field quiet again
reigns supreme, and the electrio
light again flickers aver a quiet
street and a peaceful neighborhood,
Vehicles again pass and repasa
without obstruction, and not a
trace ol the encroachment ie left.
The tronblo will probably be ad
judicated in a court of equity.
The Macon Bicydeets are build
ing a beautiful race course at Cen
tral City Park, inside the mile
track and in front of the grand
stand. It is the Initiatory step to
tbeir grand tournament they pro
pose to have in October. The
Americus wheelmen will be espec
ially invited and cared for. Macon
wss the first town in the South to
grasp tlio cycle movement, and
consequently they are ’ more
general and popular here than
elsewhere. The varieties and
contrast of machines that can be
seen ou the main thoroughfares are
striking. There are three or four
distinctly different machines hero,
and are propelled by entirely dif
ferent power. There are a dozen
different makes, but many come
under tbe same head and are of a
similar pattern. There are about
30 wheels here In all lu use, but
tbe rivalry Is between tbe Star
(little wheel in front), the Budge
and the Columbia. Th* trloyet*
I* also represented, »nd Is growing
popular with the less bold ath
letics.
Tho City Council have routed
the bicycle from sidewalk travel,
and on account ol several acci
dents, a certain class of citizens
have inaugurated u movement to
prohibit the use of the principal
avenues. The bioyolcst will con
test for every inch of the ground,
and at thoir meeting last night
considered the advisability of
publishing a weekly paper to rep
resent tbeir interest.
A popular young dry goods
salesman here is responsible for
saying that it is impossible to sell
dry goods without lying, and that
to bo called a “successful dry
goods merchant" is nothing more
than a more genteel synomym of a
"successful liar”. To eluoidste, be
says that if a lady calls for “Fmit
of tho Loom” bleaching, nothing
but “Fruit of tho Loom” will suit
her. You may not have sheeting
of that name, but some Just like it
and equally as good, but you can
not so conviuco her; though sho
could not tell the difference she
Imagines one. Here, then, to tell
her tho goods he has to make use
of lies and other fraudulent mrans
and sells her Farwell’s bleaching
under the same name of “Fruit of
the loom,"scratching out tho name
Farwell’s bleaching is identically
tho Barae. The first question lie
puts to the customer, though, is
how many yards they want, as he
will not go to the trouble of lying
for the sale ol 4 or B yards, but
lies by the holt.
Another elucidation. If a son
of Ham diops in and thinks his
pedestal extremities Arc small
enough for comfortable accommo
dation in a five shoe, you cannot
sell him a slice unless you will
show up n number five that will fit
him. Tlio modern shoo clerks
have long since learned the idlo-
syncrosicB of tlio darkey and soon
manipulate a pair of clovons so
that a figure five will boldly ap
pear in the top of the eleven shoe.
Tho negro sees the five, tries on
tho shoe. It fits liko a glove. Ho
is proud of his small foot. Buys
tho shoe, wears a number five, goes
off a happier but not a wiser man.
Such are the weaknesses of the
human race. Qijicuand.
A HAIM'ASH OF HIIAKE8.
Am Barihqaike In (he Middle Statee.
Despatches from Michigan, Indi
ana and Ohio state that tboso three
States were slightly shaken up, and
tho people terribly frightened,
Friday afternoon. Nodamagewas
done. Buildings were shaken, win
dows rattled, crockery and Jars
were shaken from the shelves, and
people made dfzzv. A rambling
sound, like that of a heavily loaded
wagon driven over a stone pave
ment, accompanied the vibrations,
of which there were two, toward the
Sooth and back, lasting about fif
teen seconds. In some places it
caused a panic nmoog tbo people,
who ran out of their houses In
fright.
A Negro for Congress.
Washinoton, Bept. 19—Evans,
the nominee of tbe Cameron fac
tion for Congress In the Fourth
Virginia district, is a colored man,
and be is making his light directly
against Brady, Senstor Mnhonc’s
candidate. The colored peoplo
have about T,000 majority in the
district, and Kvans is appealing to
them to assert their snpromaoy at
the polls. He has Invited Fred
Douglass to stamp for him, but
has not yet bad a reply.
We were mistaken about A. J.
Taylor being the nominee of the
republican party to represent this
county in the next Legislature, as
announced in oar last Issue. Wo
learn that he is an independent,
and that Seek Harris, colored, the
nominee of the republican party,
has come down la favor of Mr. W.
C. Gill, tbe democratic nominee,
and will nae hia Influence to elect
him.—Smlthvllle Enterprise.
