THE MAC02T TELEGBAPH: MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 2, 1895. 1 Mill BUB. Yfce-Cbafrinan law Will Call tie Exec nltye Committee Together for Dlscassfon. 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.” SUPPOSE you try E. H. date's Key West cigars at II. P. Ioh's and uie periodical tlcketa. 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.” CITY NOTES. CARRIAGES, wsgon* and haggles. See styles and prices before buying. Theo. W. Ellis, 419 Poplar street.

HOOD'S PILLS are prompt and effi cient and do not purge, pain or gripe. < cents. 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.” — • BAKING roWDKR.

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.

SMITH-PETTON. A" Happy Marriage Solemnized In South Macon Yesterday. Last evening at T p. m. Mr. J. II.

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.

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.” TOOK HIM FOR A BURGLAR.
