Water Transportation Is Now an As
sured Fact.
The Brunswick Advertiser, speaking
of the return trip of the Gypsy to Ma
con, has tUls to say: Tho steamer Gyp
sy had on board a. very sweet cargo of
sugar nnd young Indies when her pad-
dlo wheel began to chum tho waters
of Oglethorpe bay this morning on her
return trip to Macon.
The cargo consisted of 500 barrels of
sugar from Now York, consigned to
various Macon merchants, principally
'the Jaques & Tinsley Company.
Some man on tho dock was cruel
enough to suggest that a United States
senator would not he out of place as a
pa-oM-ngi-r.
But tho Gypsy scorns to he a-find-
class success. A number of Brunswick
young men think so. at any rate, and
It Is told of one of them tnatjio offered
to ship ns a deck hand, w<thou; salary,
with only the privilege of moaoUBg fto
tho upper deck occasionally.
Capt. Miller and Purser Matthew*,
both clever gentlemen, waved "au re-
volr” ns the little steamer left tho
dock. They expect to reach Macon by
Saturday night, and will, If possible,
lower their record of eighty-two hours
ou the down' trip.
The young ladles who came from
Macon, oa the Gypsy were tendered an
Impromptu dance In tho Oglethnrpo
parlors last night by a party of young
men. Tlio occasion was highly enjoy
able.
Capt Miller promises to bo at our
docks again wllhln a few weeks.
The Macon and Brunswick water
line Is an assured fact.

’The recent action of the city council
in suspending tho law requiring bar
rooms to close not laiter than 13 o'clock
at night, and to open not earlier than
5 o'clock In tho morning, has aroused
a number of Macon's best citizens and
an effort is being-mads to have coun
cil rescind Its action.
The law was suspended a few nights
ago and was not to be enforced again
until after the -fair, in order. It is sup
posed, to allow the bar rooms every
opportunity to make all the money
possible.
(Some people question the right of
council to suspend the law, and many
believe that If the matter Is tested
the courts will declare council's ac
tion illegal. But so far this point (has
not been formally raised, and the pres
ent effort Is to 'have council reconsider
the matter and avoid any contention
In tho courts. -To that end' a petition
was circulated yesterday by prominent
business men, ministers of the Gospel
and others and before night It had
any . number of signatures; enough, In
fact, to Indicate that tho best people
of the oommunlty are against ‘the all-
night saloons. Tho petition reads os
follows:
"To tlie Honorable Mayor and Coun
cil of the City of Macon, Ga.—Gentle
men: Tho undersigned citizens and tax
payers of this city and county earn
estly beg that you reconsider yopr
action In allowing the bar rooms of
this city to remain open all night dur
ing -the time of our fair and exposi
tion. At that time our city will be
filled (With strangers, and not only will
it Injure our city by the bad appear
ance It iwlll present to them, but it iwlll
be the source of much disorder and
crime and result In an expense -to the
tax payers of the community. For
these and other good nnd sufficient rea
sons we trust that your honorable
body will require -Chat, all bar rooms
be closed not later than 13 o’clock each
night during the fair, from October S3,
1804, to November . 9, 1894, and tha-t
they not be allowed to open until 5
o'clock each morning during -the same
time. All -of -which your petitioners
earnestly pray thot you grant us."
It Is feared that council will attempt
to sidetrack the matter until after tho
fair 'by referring it to a committee. In
order to prevent this It has -been sug
gested that a largo committee of prom
inent citizens carry 'the petition to
council In person and urge Immediate
action. This plan will probably be
adopted and council will be forced to
meet the question squarely and fairly.
If -they refuse to reconsider their ac
tion It is believed that tho opponents
of all-night saloons will take further
action In the matter, probably to de
termine whether or not council has the
legal Tight to suspend tho operation of
a law for the time being.
ONE WILL RETIRE,
Bibb Dcosn’t Want the Earth From
Governor Atkinson.
Oaprt. Jere Hollis of Bibb county and
Dr, Sullivan, IMacon'e -well known phy
sician, arc applicants for two Important
positions in connection with the state
penitentiary.
Capt. Hollis wants CO be principal
keeper of the .penitentiary, and Dr. Sul
livan Is after tho position of principal
physician. It occurred to both gentle-
men yesterday that one or the other
would eucaly get left, inasmuch as
their candidacy put Bibb county in the
attitude of neklng the earth from Gov
ernor Atkinson. In order not to embar
rass Governor Atkinson, and tn order
not to jeaoordize their own interests,
one of these gentlemen Is to retire from
tho field. . , . „
The question is which shall it be?
Neither, Of course, is willing to retire
voluntarily.'but they have hit upon ft
plan which will work Juat as well. They
will Heave the question to six art»ltra*
tons, to whom shall be lefit the right to
say whether Capt Hollto must glvo up
tho race for principal keeper of the
penitentiary, or whether Dr. Sullivan
shall retire from the race for principal
phyolclan. The gentlemen selected to
decide the matter are Col. R. A. Nls-
bet, G. M. Davit*. James H. Blount. Jr.*
B. M. Davis. Col. C. M. Wiley and Hon.
Robert Hodges.
The arbitrators will probably meet to
day to determine the matter.
Capt. Hollis says he reoognlzes tho
fact that Bibb county Is asking too
much from Governor AtkJiuston, and he
Is not willing to embarrass the govern
or In any way; so he will retire from
the field. If tho arbitrators so decide.
Dr. Sullivan is bf the Kirin* m!nd, and
he -willingly agreed to leave the mat
ter -to the committee.. It Is not certain
tha* either will be appointed to the po
sition for which he aspires, but as Bibb
county would then be asking very little
fibm the administration If one or the
other of those gentlemen get out of the
way. In view of what this county did
for Governor Mkhwon. both In the pri
mary and In the general elertlbn, It Is
believed that one them will be success
ful.
