UE SAYS HE WILL DO WHAT IS
RIGHT,
And tbs Commla.loner* Will Know
Next Tuesday What He Menus.
Tho Question Will Then He
Decided—Others Paid.
Unless Major Bacon Is mistaken, the
trouble over tbs flprfng strest bridge
will soon be adjusted.
Tl\e senator arrived from Cumberland
yesterday morning and went direct to
bis home at Baconsfleld, on the east
side of the river, where he remained
all day attending to personal matters,
and those who called at his office,
failed to see him. He was at his home
when n Telegraph reporter asked him
If he desired to talk about the Spring
street bridge matter, of which so much
has been said and written since The
Telegraph’s publication of last Mon
day.
"I don’t think there will be any trou
ble about the matter," said Major Ba
con, "as there are only a few details
to be arranged between the commis
sioners and mysetf.
"I did not receive a demand for the
payment of my Subscription on the
bridge until just before I left Washing
ton," continued the senator. "I don’t
say that demand had not been made
on others for me, but I had received no
personal demand until Just before leav
ing Washington. I think we can ar
range matters without n law suit.”
Mr. Q. M. Davis, chairman of the
county commissioners, called on Major
Bacon at hla home yesterday morning
to confer about the bridge. Mr. Davis
wns assured by Major Bacon that he
waa willing to do what was right In
regard to tho matter, and he bollcvoa
It will not he necessary to take the
matter Into the courts.
The county commissioners will hold
a meeting next Tuesday, at which the
subject will be discussed, and If tho
{ imposition submitted by Major Bacon
s not accepted, ault will be Instituted
for the amount subscribed, as Indi
cated In The Telegraph’! articles. It
Is believed, however, that all parties
will get together and reach an agree
ment at that time.
The other subscriber! to the fund
have given their promiasory notea for
their amounts. They stood ready to
pay their subscriptions whenever de
manded until the demand was finally
made, then they had grown weary of
holding the money and had put It Into
other channels of business, But .read
ily gave their notes, which are as good
as gold.
The action of the county commission
ers next. Tuesday will be awaited with
Interest.

•J ho Pollen aro After Some Very Naughty
Ro.vn.
Yesterday afternoon a nurse stood at
tho corner of Ocmulgee and Academy
Streets holding a young babe in her
arms. Same street gamin, followed by
one or two seemingly well bred boys,
began throwing rocks and a Slone as
big us a hen egg struck the woman in
the breast within a few inches of the
baby’s bead.
Some fond papa will have to shell
out a pile of ensh If the police are suc
cessful In locating the young miscreant
who threw the stone, and there In lit
tle doubt that he will bo caught and
arrested. a» the father of the child,
which so narrowly escaped death, Is
about as angry ns a man can be. He
Will not rest until he has seen the boys
well punished for their crime.
’ The police have recently received
much complaint about rock throwing In
that section of tho city, as there Is a
gang of unruly little boys who take a
delight In rocking horses and doing alt
the Injury possible. A big surprise Is
In store for the little criminals, and a
half dozen or so will find themselves
CHEATING TIIK TELEPHONE CO.
Clever Schemes U»
in V>
A story uussent out from Atlanta yes
terday to the effect that the Bell Tele
phone Company had determined to enter
«ult against all Don-satwerlbera who use
the telephone contrary to the contracts
made between the company and its sub
scribers.
Aa a mittcr of course. If this were
true, very fpw people could escape suits
in towns where there are telephones, be
cause neur/y every man occasionally
uses Ills neighbor's 'phone, and the ques
tion is, can the nori-Hiil**crIbera he sued?
The company can sue its subscribers for
a notation of'the contract, but so far aa
la knowu no law cau reach, the nou-
aubicriber. -
But the story above referred to
was misleading. Recently advertising
schemers In -Atlanta and other cities
have been publishing bogus telephone
lists, and putting down advertisers os
having telephones whether they had or
nut. For instance. If Jobu Hmith bad a
telephone numbered £5 and Bill Brown,
doing liuslneas next door, bad no tele
phone Brown could take un advertise
ment In the bogus list and tben be put
down as "telephone number 65." Ut
course, people seeing the list would ring
<5 when they wanted Brown and Smith
would answer. To keep from making
Brown mad he would have to send next
door and get him.
In this way Brown would get the use
of a telephone free of coat, and
would be so annoyed that he would wish
be had nerer seen one.
It Is against such men «a Brown that
the telephone company expects to bring
suit, and It will not forget the man who
publishes the bogns list.
If Macon has developed any such
schemers they have not yet come to
light, although * lookout la being kept
fur them.

THE ENGINE TUI i:ll TO HUN,
It broke a Big Hole In the Hide of tho
Bound House.
A locomotive engine In the shop* of
the M.. D. and 8. railroad, while stand
ing without an engineer In charge, sud
denly made a plunge and knocked out
one aldo of the shop about noon yester
day. No one was Injured. Mr. John
IYvtnn. who It In charge of the shop,
jumped Into the cab and 1 everted the
engine In thne to prevent the engine
from running Into a ditch and turning
over. The engine had shout 120 pounds
of steam at the time and had been in-
ken Into the phap to have some might
repairing done. In aomo unaccountable
manner, the steam escaped Into the
cylinders or cheats. A workman was
underneath at the time, but escaped
harm.
Mr. Peyton sustained a severe wound
by sticking a nail into hla right foot
while jacking tho engine back onto tho
track again.
MR. CUBBEDGE RETURNS.
Ho Will Hereafter be Pound In Macon’s
Hardware Trade.
Mr. Clarence H. Cubbedge, who was
In the crockery and cutlery business in
Macon for n number of years, but who
has recently been wltn the King flard-
ware Company of Atlanta, has accepted
a position with Etheridge & linker
and will hereafter be found with that
Arm.
Mr. Cubbedge waa born and reared
In Macon, and having lived here nearly
all hla life Is thoroughly acquainted
with Macon people and the people of
the surrounding country, consequently
he can add much to the commercial life
of Macon. His many friends are glad
to have him back again as a citizen.

Bibb county's first bale of cotton has
been received and was.on exhibition
yesterday at Heard & Moore's ware
house.
The cotton classes middling and will
bring market price. It has not ye:
been sold. The bale weighed 600 pounds
and was grown by Mor.re A Woraham
within two miles of the corporate lim
its of the city.
Tills is a forerunner of what I* com
ing. and by next week It la expected
that cotton will not only be coming
in from Bibb county to the local ware
houses. but from all of the adjacent
counties. All of the farmers In this sec
tion are feeling good over the outlook,
nnd while the crop is not as fine an
was promised a few weeks ago. It Is
still regarded as the finest made in this
section In years, and will give tho farm
ers good returns, especially as they
have a fine corn crop to back It if if*
W. O. iVadley, of Rogers and Bol-
Ingbroke. who Is one of the largest as
well as one of the most successful
planters In the state, was In the city
yesterday, and In conversation with a
Telegraph reporter, said that his crop
at both Ballngbroke nnd Rogers was
the finest be had made In years.
Mr. Wadley said that two or. three
weeks ago his crop is Burke bounty
promised to be the best he had ever
rosn. but that since then the dry weath
er had affected It somewhat. It Is
still an unusually line crop, however,
nnd no Is jubilant over It, with the ex
pectation of coming out away aheqd.
Mr. Wadley la one of the farmers who
has clearly demonstrated that farm
ing in Qeorgla does pay. and If any-
nnn Is In doubt about It they should
visit his plantation at Bollngbroke or
Wadley and see for themselves.

Macon’* Thcoiophlcal Society to tho
Rescue.
The Theosophlcal Society had a well
..ttended meeting last night, at which
the subject of capital punishment was
ably discussed by several of the mem
bers. The society Is taxing very active
steps to send relief to famine stricken
India. Mr. Walter Hanson, In a short
address, gave a very vivid description o?
the terrible suffering now agisting and
told the reason for tbe horrible state of
MACON’S PROSPERITY.
NO CHEATER BOOM EVER STRUCK
THE CITY.
A Few Evidences of the Glorious Hour
at nand—Another Electric Plant to
Be Established and Increased
Street Car Facilities,
No better evidence Is needed to prove
Macon's rapid growth than her main
tenance of new and varied diversion*.
Everything that Is not directly opposed
hy public sentiment, -which is decently
and properly managed, i*' crowned witn
success now, while formerly, or even un
til within a year ago. It was often neces
sary to beg for ■uhscrt’ptlon, or hammer
away in various ways In order to push
aheid miny things that are easily ac
complished now with profit.
The recent bicycle lace* proved a suc
cess In every sense of the word, two Im
portant meets being held within,thirty
days of each other.
The trades display to be given in Oc
tober I* assured and there Is every rea
son to predict its success.
The Southern racing circuit is almost
arranged, and u fell race meet in Macon
In said to be a certainty. Money enough
for its success la already in Macon and
lias besn subscribed by men interested
who have the wherewithal to see that
there will be no disappointment. No
stock company or petty subscription list
will be resorted to. nnd Macon is now
big enough to afTord success lu all ot
tlio.e enterprises and avocations which
characterize a real live city, and the
eiutwhile cry of "can’t do tills or can’t
do that” has been launched into a desue
tude from which It is never to be allowed
lo return.
Merchants are all sanguine of a- good
fill trade and a full settlement of ac
counts, and tbe prospects for tbe farm
ers, who are the backbone or the very
foundation of the business which builds
up the cities, were never better, judged
from the way the warehousemen and
planters talk.
This summer Macon has enjoyed _
number of amusements, every one of
which has proven successful. The sum
mer opera at tho Academy of Music at
tracted large audiences and filled
very successful engagement.
The Putxel Vaudeville Company has
continuously and successfully run for
a long time and affords regular employ
ment to about twenty people.
At Crump’s Park large and paying
crowds attend the vaudeville every
evening except Sunday. At the latter
place the crowds are often so large
that It Is with difficulty that expedi
tious transportation to and from the
park is afforded. Macon is too big for
the present capacity of her already
fine street car system and this will
lead to more- extensive improvements.
Wednesday night 1,775 people attend
ed the performance at the park and
last night the crowd was even larger,
including a number ot bicyclists. Ma
jor Winters has recognized the fact
that Macon demands more accommo
dation, and Ills Idea now Is to erect
another power plant, to be located at
Crump’s Park, and to buy or construct
a number of mogul electric cars. These
mogul cars are capable of a speed ot
thirty-five miles per hour, have double
trucks at both ends and are about the
size of a railroad passenger coach.
Although they are larger and heavier
than the electric care, yet they are
more easily controlled, having much
better breaking apparatus, and can af
ford as fast a street car schedule ns
is enjoyed anywhere In the world.
Where is Macon? Oo ask her business
men and you will find that she Is
simply booming. No more "hard times"
cr.vlng Is to be heard.
The fall season Is about to open and
prosperity stares her -In the face, and
the steamboat "City of Macon” will
soon blow a new salute, not heard since
the good, rich old ante-bellum days.

liable Inclination ot every
joys life and health.
In substance, Mr. Hanson said that It
had not reined In tbe larger portion of
India In three year*, and In some places
In four years; that this vast area was
without a vestige of vegetable life, and
even the roots of tbe grass had b..-a
consumed. The grain which Is being
shipped lo the country was sold for high
prices, hut that It was possible foi a
man to buy enough for one dollar to sue-
tain him one month. Th* English gov
ernment had established public works,
and paid iho starving laborers ib.-c
cents per diem, and ibis meagre amount
would buy enough grain to teed the la
borer another day .and In this way thnu-
nds kept grim death In aboyanc*. Over
K 000,000 have already famished, and the
sopie; with comparatively few excep-
ons, are verltabl* walking skeleton*.
It 1* necessary, from ono point of view,
for the grain to be sold at high prices,
tor that prevents any waste
to equalise the dlatrloutloo.
Mr. Hanson’s exposition of the condi
tion now exietlng .waa startling and ap
pealed to every member ot the society,
which haa for one ot Its cardinal princi
ples the enlightening and rellevit
suffering humanity wherever found.
Every member of the Macon branch
will be approached, a: d quite a snug sum
B I expected lo be given tor this charita-
le and Christian undertaking.

TRYING TO HAHMOX1ZE,
Tho Colored Baptists of Macon Pouring
Oil on Troubled Waters.
The reading public ki familiar with the
,.ar that ha* ueea waged for the past
several months between the two factions
in one of the colored Baptist churches
of the city, and it will be good new* th-it
several of the moat Influential members
believe they will he able to restore Jfeaee
and bring about harmony at an early
date.
The Middle Georgia AmocMUod will
meet at Forsyth la the St. James liap-
Ikit church on the Thumday before the
first Sunday In September. At that time
the Macon delegates expect to complete
arrangements for the colored orphans'
home to be located In thie city.
The Baptists realise that If the two
factions go before the association pulling
against each other much harm will re
sult. and the more conxrrvntlre and in
telligent min in the chnreh are deter
mined, It poealble. to ren>ove all differ
ence* and bring tbe encmle* together as
frlcnda.
The orphans' home Is regarded aw an
Important Institution, and the men who
are working to secure It are receiving
much praise. Said one of them to Tbe
Telegraph last night:
“Only one or two peqplc are respon
sible for tbe trouble we have had, and
the prospects ore that these will cease
to be selfish and go to work for the
cause which is so much to ua all.”

tria, it is said,
.can hold a grown
man in ait with
one hand. Wo
men generally do not
care to be athletic to
such a degree, but meet
women desiro physi
cal strength, power
and encigy.
Too thin women and
over-stout women, are
both “out of condi
tion;” they both lack
the best sort of physi
cal development. If
.their digestive and as-
'similative functions
were perfect, the thin
woman woulfgain flesh; the stout, one
would lose it This is why Dr, Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery builds up
strength in both stout and thin people.
It empowers the blood-making organs
to supply fresh red, highly vitalized blood
which builds up solid, healthy flesh to
the normal standard, but above that point
reduces and carries away flabby fat. It
brings you into “condition;'' imparts
nerve force and stamina; rounds out
sunken faces and meagre forms; smoothes
away wrinkles; puts color in the cheeks
and sparkle in the eyes. Its nutritive
properties far exceed those of any malt
extract or vile “ emulsion.”
Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Ad
viser is the most popular medical work in
the English language. It contains a thou
sand and eight-pages, and over three hun
dred illustrations. It is a great store-house
of valuable information. A copy strongly
paper-bound will be sent free on receipt of
21 cents in oue-cent stamps to pay the cost
of mailing only. Address, world’s Dis-
