THE MAC02T TELEGBAPH: MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 2, 1895.

TOO MAN? CANDIDATES FOR CORONER
An Open Htce Would Civ# the Popnllili nnd
BtjraMletni» Chant. t» OllpsCssdl-
dtic Into the OfflM-Hsrmony
Mutt Be rresemd.
There will In nil probability be n
primary to .elect a Democratic candi
date for coroner. There are now a
dozen or more candidates announced
(or the position and the Democratic
vote would he so badly split that mem
bers of the Democratic executive com
mittee of the county have come to the
conclusion that It woilld be dangerous
to the Interests of the party to go Into
an open election with so many as
pirants for the same office.
Yesterday morning the Telegraph
editorially called attention to the state
of nffalrs that exist and warned those
In authority concerning It. The warn
ing seems to have struck the proper
chord and yesterday Mr. Jeff Ware,
who since the death of Chairman Aus
tin has been the head of the Demo
cratic committee of the county. In
formed a Telegraph reporter that he
thought the editorial was timely and
strictly to the point,
"If we go Into the race with so many
candidates." ho said, “we leave a
splendid opening for a Populist or a
Republican in slip In. There Is no doubt
about the fact Ihnt the vote would be
pretty well divided and by either of
the other parlies standing firmly to
gether there might he a possible ebance
of pulling In other than a Drmocratlc
coroner. This would never do In Bibb
county.
"Harmony In the ranka Is another
very Important thing to be looked af
ter. A primary Is the only method of
securing It. The office of coroner Is
not nearly so unimportant ss has been
suggested. Certain conditions can arise
that would make It the most Important
In the entire county, but these condi
tions are not likely to arise. The main
point Is to keep tho party machinery
unimpaired aud harmony prevailing."
The call for a meeting of the com
mittee will be Issuo" Just a» soon aa I
can communlcato with the secretary,
Sir. Jones. It la my Intention to have
the committee meet and discuss the
Idea about Wednesday, If possible.”

CLAUD PALLS WRIGHT.
lie Created a Sensation In a Lecture In
New York.
The people of Mneon will remember
Mr. Claud Kails Wright ns the Theoso-
phlst, whu some time ago delivered sev
eral entertaining livtmve at the Arad-
cniy of Music. Tho following story from
New York will, therefore, lie rend with
considerable local Interest:
New York. Dee. 1.-Claud Falla
Wright, aeerotary of the late Madame
Iilavatsky, who delivered a lecture on
•'Ocoult Phenomena" at Chlckcrlng
Hall today, created a sensation by re
ferring to the prayers of a large body
of Christian Endeavors In Cleveland.
O., for the conversion of Col. Ingersoll.
"They lire doing a great wrong." said
he. "and are practicing sorcery or
black magic. You have no right to at
tempt to change a man's life because
you think It wrong and because It dif
fers from your own. If Ingersoll wants
to have a certain religion why should
he not. The Christian Endeavors are
not doing the right thing, and I don't
think they will have much success.
They are not competent to have great
Influence, as their minds are not right.
Jngeraoll Is a good man, and this ef
fort la only a display of egotism.”

No less than wonderful are the cures
accomplished by Hood's Sarsaparilla,
oven after other preparations nnd
physicians’ prescriptions have failed.
The reason, however, It simple. When
the blood Is enriched and purltlcd, dis
ease disappears and good health re

WHY NOT IN MACON?
c ———
'l rertlnent Question Asked of the Dry
Oovals Merchants.
"I wish yon would ask In your paper
why Huron inerehint. eau'l fit gloves
nn a person In their stores," said a fash-
lonshle little Indy to a Telegraph report
er. 'They ought to do It. Once or twice
1 bought • costly pair of gloves that
didn't fit. My merchant wouldn't take
them hack because I had stretched them
In Hying them nn. Since that time I
have been waiting to buy my gloves
In Atlanta nr Savannah, where glores
are filled on customers In stores. If one
pair doesn't suit, they keep trying till the
right pair Is found. Of course, I have
to buy srrenl pairs at a time when I
go sway from Macon that way. to keep
from running out. but It's In-Iter than
buying several pairs of gloves In a year
that do you no i-arlllly good.”

THE ARTESIAN WELL.
Tho Question Is Rcvclring Considerable
Allen!Ion in Macon.
Since the publication of the Tele
graph's story ubout the artesian well
a few duys ago, the people of Macon
have liad much to say among themselves
ns to the advisability of such an under
taking.
Bald one prominent citizcu to n re
porter yesterday:
"I should think the experience at the
^rewery would make it difficult to enlist
men in Nuch n venture, but if u man of
sound judgment is willing to become one
of five to put up the necessary amount
of money, I nin sure nearly everybody
to bo directly benefited by a well located
on Tower Park Would join a club to do
the work. It would certainly be a bless
ing to Mneon If we could get a few
wells scattered about over the city; nnd
while the brewery experience is dis
heartening. yet I don't tldnk it is suf
ficiently so to keep Mneon from ever'
trying again to bore such wells.”
GOOD WORDS FOR'lIORNE.

NO GETTING AROUND PAYING UP
It Cats lfo Figure Whether Yon Have Regis
tered or Kot-You Kutt Zither Pay the
Tax or Work on the Streets to
the Amount YoaOwe.
And It Is now the pick and the
shovel.
In a. few days City Marshal Hall
will call upon all pc mo ns who have
not paid their street tax for 1835 and
present each one of them with a piece
of paper the else of a note-sheet, bear
ing the following:
"You are hereby commanded to re
port to William Lee Ellis, chairman
hoard of public works, within five days
from the data of this notice with pick
or shovel to work the streets of Macon
five days, In Ueu of your street tax for
the year 1835. Herein fall not under
penalty of being arraigned before the
honorable recorder, and fined by him
not less than 25.”
For many years the annual tax ordi
nance fixed July 15 as the time by
which the working of streets by these
delinquents should he done, hut at the
last meeting of the mayor and coun
cil this date was changed to Dec. 10.
It, therefore, behooves those who are
liable and who have not paid to lose
no time In the settlement. The street
tax Is now 22, but an the recorder can
not Impose a fine under 35 In these
cases, the cheapest plan Is to pay the
tax.
The mere fact of registering does not
relieve a delinquent. The law does not
require the tax of 1895 to be paid to
qualify one for registering, as It dis
tinctly says all taxes except for the
year in which the election occurs; but
registered or not, the street tax for
1895 must be paid.
Inithts connection it may be ex
plained In Justice to the officers hav
ing the matter in charge, that the fail
ure to Include street taxes with other
taxes Is clearly the fault of the tax
payer. The law requires every per
son In 'Macon who owns cither real or
personal property, or both, to make a
return of the samo In the month of
January In catfh year. The first ques
tion on the blank tax return is: "Are
you subject to street tax, If not, why?"
An examination of the returns on file
In the marshal’s office shows that nine
teen times out of twenty this ques
tion Is Ignored by the person making
return. That being the case, the treas
urer or the assessor Is not supposed to
know the age of every man In Macon,
whether he Is exempt from such tax
by being over 45 years of age, or
whether he Is an active member of
the military; hence the street tax Is
charged up only to the very few who
obey the law and let the fact be known
on the returns. -
The pick and Shovel brigade Is now
In order.

reports that Schlatter, the "healer,"
may soon appear In New York, tho
Rev. A. C. Peck, director of the Hay-
market Mission of Denver, visiting In
tho East, was asked tonight what, he
thought of Schlatter, who had been pos
ing as the Messiah In Denver.
“Well," said Mr. Peck, with a laugh,
“Schlatter is an odd genius any way
you take him. I believe he Is perfectly
sincere, of course, I do not believe he
Is divine. His words and actions leave
no explanation except that he is daft.”
The Rev. Mr. Peck said ho believed
Schlatter, notwithstanding his delusion,
has done a deal of good, and he added:
"He has made a lot of people believe
In some religion perfectly certain, and
that Is worth a good deal.”
