COL. HUGHES MAKES AN APPEAL
He Presents the Immediate Situation In
a Strongly lVorded Address to tlio
Members of (he Library and
the Public Generally*
Muflt the Macon Public Library at last
be out UDon thtf block? It look* very
much that wav nuleas its supportens Jo
oomehtlnsr and do it quick.
iAti execuitln hua been issued ugroinst
the Library by Wilders’ Sons through
their attorneys. Eatea & Jones* and the
president irotUled that unless the long*
dtAiMUnjt claim to for.tflrwtth settled the

der*s Sons’ cLalm atnounrto to about 3125,
the unpaid amount on the original in
debtedness, and bus been due five
yeans They haveut iast determined to
delay execution no longer, nnd will cer
tainly close the library unless ferine
effort to made to payt he ctJton, a. thing
which itlliey allege hus not heretofore
been done.
Col. D. G. Ifusrheo. -the president of
the Public Dibrarv, and Historical So
ciety. waa alck in bed day before yester
day when he was served with the fol
lowing nbtlre fiom Bates & Jones:
‘'•Macon. Ga., Oct. 14, 1894.—Jlr. D. G.
Ilubhes. Macon. GU.—Deir S1r?We are
Instructed bv our cHcnts, Wader’s Sono,
to have (their ff. fas against the Public
Library levied, and have placed the ii.
fas. in the hands of an officer. We re
gret to takethte action. If the Lfbmry
will pay tv p.irt of the claim we imy* be
able 'to give you «>me further time, but
of this we cannot aoeak urottl we have
seen our «U?n.ts. Very truly yours,
"EOtbs & Joneu.”
Upon recetot of the Conrmunlcatlnn,
.Col. Hughes could see only one way out
of 'the trouble, and he yesterday ad
dressed this a'pipea 1 ! to the friends of the
Library In particular and the public 4n
general: ""
“To the members of the Public Li
brary and the Macon public: I huve
thsl diy received the enclosed latter
luKlrewsed to me as president of the
Public Library.
It w«l be seen from this that a crisis
ha3 eewne at last. The Pufbi.c Llbrar>*
one of Macton’s oroudest lnsbitutlons,
has struggled on tbr yeaw, bearing a
burden or debt that haa little by little
dragged U down until now it Is not only
threatened with sale for debt, but It Is
u fact that even now the legal papers
are in the hands btfan officer und the
Library to doomed
“I cannot express *he regret I feel
when I am forced tq write this to
put the public on notice; but feed that
us this Is not a matter of prlvute con
cern, but u matter deeply affecting ev
ery cltlten bf Macon and their pride In
this city, there shoul be no corvceuCmetit.
On the contrary, in common wl'th my
self, 1 know that vou will fdfci a deep
sense of regret, if not shame.
“It to right that this debt, contracted
many years ngo, should be puld. Tbe
creditor who has taken fcttto step hu3
been patient and very considerate. He
has acted the part of a friend of the Li
brary and a good citizen of Maoon, but
this money to Justly' due. ond though
yearufter yeur the promtee’of payment
and -the hope of n more enthusiastic
support of the PubUc Library have
caused 'Mr. Wilder to stay his hand,
there 1m been no Improvement, and to
day ithe Lfbiury is of itself tttterly un-
abble to iuy oven a part of «thU doM.
Mr. Wild or to therefore fully entitled eo
the course he has taken, and fully Jus
tified in forcing the toBue Chat now con
fronts us.
“There Is. mv friends but ono chance.
Is the Public Library to be sold for debt
and to tMMacott to losjc HIT institution
tli.i't stan.l-s 11 inonunj :\L io k>ur
Ugence uml veftnomen;?
*'I cannot ihlnk that the refinement,
the intelligence, the patriotism of tho
people of Macon will a4k»w thto final uct
to be played out. ae 4t most certainly
will be unless help is at hand.
“Tho ddbt Is nat large. Surely among
os we ovn rutoe these few hundred dol-
lam -to pay this just debt.
m“I am writing from a sick bed. Una-
o!e myself to be ud and among yon, 1
tuppod to the leaders, the men of m'Fans,
the good cncn. and cho IntelHgence of
MUcon to act promptly* U?t us raise
thto money, pay off thto debt, and free
thU :i from i!i? only burlon
tliat has kept us below water all these
years.
**Aot pxbmotly. I will glady acknowl-
e\lg< any comtributtons, Und I beg of
those who are interested to make an
effort without further solicitMlon from
me.
“The Public Library can, without
doubt, be made seif-sumahvlng, but the
cjntrovensy of late over Ks disposal bos
cr«ateil a tork of interest and enthusi
asm. There are many iwwvbers whose
dues, 1f now sent In. would add hind-
BQtQGly to the tr»suo’. Without those
and oMh a lack of Interest the Library
to not oelf-rmstaining, but should thae
conttoveraies ceaee vir.d the indebted

Preparations for opening day of the

'dlcalons are that every business house
in the dty.t ogelher with a nurriber
of residences .will be decorated on open
ing d*ay.
Alderman Sperry said to a Telegraph
reporter last night that the ordinance
governing banners over the streets
was evidently intended to cover signs
and that the people could go ahead
and hang out as many banners und
flags as they desired and hang them
anywhere.
Now itbfflt there ls no danger of po
lice interference, every business house
in ikhe city should be decorated, eo that
the city will be in holiday attire When
the thousands and tens of thousands
of people come here from all over the
United States to gaze upon and ad
mire her many Charms.
(Messrs. Azel Freeman, W. W. Col
lins and Clem HMlUpo aTe working like
beavers for that procession on open

siasm of 'the ladles in the floral floats.
Each float will be a thing of beauty
and will present a sight to the multi
tude that will be gathered on the
fltreeta and at the fair grounds Kfnat
will excel their wildest dreams of
beauty ond lovollness. -
Every whistle, every bell and every
body will make all the noise they pos
sibly can, the stores -will close during
the morning and every vehicle, wheel
barrow and even goat wagon In* the
city will be in line. The Whole plan
will be executed on a stupendous sacle
«nd the people will zaze on in open-
mouthed wonder.

RECEIVER HARRIS APOLOGIZES
Alexander Brown Will Slake Many Im
provements In the Physical Con*
dltlon of the Ilnad—New Draw
Brief go on tho Ocmulgee.
In a letter to Chairman Caldwell,
Receiver N. E. Harris of the Macon
and Nortaen admits that the -barge
made by the Western Association Hues
that Macon and Northern tickets had
been placed in the hands of brokers to
demoralize Western rates was correct.
The chargo against the Maoon and
Northern was made some time ago by
the Western Association and an In
vestigation was ordered. Thin investi
gation revealed the fact that 52.001)
worth of tickets nad boon placed on
the market, principally with brokers.
No money was received for them, but
when demand was mode far their re
turn it was claimed by the brokers that
they bad all been sold. Prosecution
was' threatened and tbe brokers ten
dered payment at full .tariff rates,
which was accepted.
Receiver Harris makes ample apol
ogy for the passenger official's conduct
who was Instrumental In making.theso
transactions. Rece.ver Harris also
premises that tbo olfcnss will not ba
repeated and says that wha lhe road
Is reorganized, ns It will bu in a very
short while, it will start with a new
panscnger agent.
The road, it will bo remembered, was
sold on October 2 to the principal bond
holders, uud after the sale is con-
lirtned on November 3 will bo reor
ganized.
■It Is rumored that Alexander Brown,
tbe principal owner of tho road, will
begin immediately after the road is re
organized to make extensive improve
ments and make the physical as well
as financial condition ot the road what
it should be.
Among the Improvements that are
certain to be made will be a new ?40,-
000 draw bridge over the Ocmulgee
river and n 53,000 freight house. A
track one nnd one-fourth miles lu
length'Will also bo laid connecting tho
Macon and Northen with the Georgia
Southern and Florida.
These Improvements will of great
advantage to both the owners of tho
road and the people of Macon as well
as the patrons of the road everywhere,
and ns they will Involve an outlay .it
something over $30,000 In money, Ma
con will be greatly benefited. Tho
freight yard of the road will be located
near Stratton’s brickyard.
