The Telegraph’s announcement of the
clty’a plan for converting the market
house Into an auditorium has caused more
comment than anythin* that has occured
in the city In some time. Following are
some of the view* that were heard by
The Telegraph reporter* yesterday 1 , and
they show about what public-sentiment Is
on the subject:
Mr. Alexander Proudflt, who Is called
the father of the market house, In <vlew
of tho 'fact that he worked hard a* a
member of council to have it established,
said: "I am heartily in favor of using
the building for a market hou*e and an
(udltorlum. but I think to. do this it will
be necessary to add another story, which
could be done at small cost, and 1 do
not bel.eve there would be any objtctlon.
As to the objection that has been raised
to the use of the market house, because
the peddling wagons interfere with it,
1 would say that the state law allowing
Confederate veterans to peddle without
license should be nepealed n? to cities.
The market house Is a good thing, and.
if tho aldermen would enforce the ordi
nances it would secure good meats and
wholesome food for the citizens. There
Is no law to prevent the city from doing
as Jt proposes with the market house,
Mr. DuPont Ouerry: I think there
should be added another story for audi
torium purposes, and 1 do not believe
there would he any objection to the ex
penditure of the money.
Mr. 8. A. Reid: When I read In Tho
Telegraph the announcement of the city’s
f lans, it struck me that the scheme was
he best, if not the only solution, to the
difficulties. It will give us a good audi
torium.
Mr. George A. Smith, president of the
Chamber of Commerce: The market house
Is a dead letter, and ha* been dead for
several years. The market wus erected
by the city at a cost of $20,000, which
was raised by bond* bearing 5 per cent.
The interest that the city pays annually
on the market house bonds is $1,000. From
what I have been told, the revenue de
rived by the city from tho market Is
not sufficient to pay the Interest on the
bonds, so you see that Instead of being
a revenue to the city. It Is a loss. I think
the present scheme to make an audl-
T HOUSANDS of women suffer
from systemic catarrh. This Is
sure to produce such symptoms
as cold feet and hands, elck headache,
palpitation of the heart • and: heayy
feelings In the stomach. „
Then beglris a series'of experiments
with medicine. They take medicine
for sick headache. They take’medicine
for nervous prostration, for palpitation
of the heart, for dyspepsia. None of
these medicines do any good because
they do not reach the cause of the com
plaint.
Peruna at once mitigate® all these
symptoms by removing the cause.
Systemic catarrh is the trouble. Sys
temic catarrh pervades the whole sys
tem, deranges every organ, weakens
every function. No permanent cure
can be expected until the systemic ca
tarrh 1h removed. •
This Is exactly what, Peruna will do.
Miss Alma Cox, assistant postmis
tress of Orum, S. C., write*:
"I have been a great sufferer from
chronic* disease and dyspepsia for five
years. How I suffered no tongue can
tell. I tried eight or ten of the best
physicians without receiving much ben
efit, also tried lots of patent medicines.
But still I suffered with sick headache,
cold feet and hands, palpitation of the
heart, and such a heavy feeling In my
stomach and chest. At times I would
be so nervous I could not bear anyone
around me. I had been given up to
die.
One day a friend sent me one of Dr.
Hartman’s pamphlets , and I decided
to write to him. He advised Peruna
and Manalin, and after taking tho
medicine two weeks I felt greatly re
lieved. My head did not pain me any
scarcely, and my stomach was relieved
of Its heavy feelihg.. I am eo thankful
that I can say after uklng Several bot
tles of the Peruna and Manalin I am
restored to .perfect health.
BEFORE USING YOLK REMEDIES I
CQULD NOT EAT ANYTHING.
I lived on barley water and panopep-
tln for two years. Now I can eat with
pleasure. Everybody Is so surprised
at my improvement. Everyone says
I am looking like a ropa. I would ad
vise nil suffering women to take your
remedies. I know if It were not for
Peruna and Manalin I would have been
In my grave today. I cannot thank you
‘enough for the kind advice you have
given me."—Mlrs Alma L. Cox.

good one. I think it la far better than
the city's first proposition to erect ar
Auditorium for $10.00n. I think the mar
ket can be converted into an auditorium
At a very small expense, and the city
would then hove a $2(>,0uo auditorium in-
nteatiy of a $10,000 building. The $10,000
Auditorium. I think, would not have been
suitable for Macon.
Capt. W. A. Davis: I was a member of
council when the resolution was adopted
to build the market house. ! voted ngainst
it and did all In my power to kill the
resolution. n.+ I did not think Macon
was in a financial condition, nor was sho
large enough to build a market. At first
I patronized the market, but In a short
while it became a nuisance. Inttead of a
convenience. I soon found that I could
buy my vegetables quicker and cheaper
by using the telephone. The farmer* do
not derive any benefit from the market
house, for they have special customers
to whom they sell their vegetables every
morning. MAcon l* in a great ficed of an

could be made into an auditorium at a

Is the very,best that could be found for

Mr. A. Daus: 1 think the city should
hot build nn auditorium until she Is able
to ao so. 1 nm not In favor of overhaul
ing a meat house and making an audi

Mr. R. 8. Tharpe of the Union Clothing

Into an auditorium. It Is a good Idea.
. Waehtslt It Is time w* wero
building an auditorium or gottlng ono
some how. YVe have the location, the
people and the prettiest city In the South.
J am In favor of making an auditorium
nut of the mnrket. as tho market Is
the most unpopular building. In the city
in my estimation, as people do not pnt-
Tonlto It. for they can use their tele
phones to a better advantage.
C. 31. Hrnnan: An auditorium would be
of more benefit to the city than a mar
ket. as we have enough markets already,
and we can get our meats Just as ch?ap
by using our telephones.
Robert A. Nlsbet: I do not care how
they get an auditorium, so they gst one.
Macon Is In great need of an auditorium,
and I would like to see one here.
E. L. Martin: I am in favor of it.

The ordinance committee of council,
conalstlus of Messrs. Sam Mayer, John
C. Van Syckcl and C. E. Damour, held
an hour's ecexlon In the council cham
ber yesterday afternoon and heard a
few of the cltlxcnx who have complain
ed against the manner In which the
Metropolitan atreet car line la man-
axed.
Messrs. Cosby Smith, Henley Napier,
Milton E. Smith and W. B. Birch made
speeches and testified before tho com
mittee aa to the causes of complaint.
i result of the conference the
council committee will ride over the
line it various times, on passes which
Manager Winter, furnished for the pur.
poee, and see for themeelvea how it is
conducted. They will then meet next
Monday and make their eport to coun
cil.
The city U asked to use Its police
power to tore* the line to give better
service.
The management answers that the
line Is simply run as a convenience to
the people who Invested their money
out In that part of the county, tnd be
cause under the charter It la In duty
bound to run, but not becauae It la
profitable. Manager Winters testified
that it had never paid a dollar of In
terest on the money Invested, and he
could not afford to run It at an ex
pense. He would be obliged to operate
It within Its earnings. He said h* was
giving the very best service he knew
how under the circumstances.
The committee of cltiiens said they
did not know they were to be given a
hearing yesterday afternoon or they
would have been represented by more
of those who have complaints against
the line.
They urged that the company should
give protection to the lives of the pas
sengers on the cars—thst boisterous
and rowdy negroes make It Impossible
for ladles and children to ride on the
line at times, and that gentlemen
often walk In preference to riding, be
cause of their constant dread of having
a light with Insolent negroes who know-
nothing about how to behave In such
places.
This was answered by the statement
that It Is Impossible to separate the
races. Judge A. L. Miller, representing
the street car company, said It had
been tried In Baltimore, where eepa-.
rate cars were run. But the white

point of order, and waa In turn named
and impended.
The bill was adopted.

think this a good disposition to
make or It.
J. It. Herts: I thing this a very sentlble
proposition.
Olln J. Wimberly: I think Macon should
have an auditorium. The market build
ing would. I think, serve ths purpose
very well, temporarily at least.
t\. A. Huff: I don’t think tho market
house should he converted Into an audi
torium It's dimension, and location are
unsuitable. As far aa any legal proposi
tions that may be Involved are concerned,
that opens the door to the blgge.t one yet.
The market house was built under ami
by authority of a special act of the leg
islature. which should not b, violated.
John C. End,: I think the present mV-
ket house converted Into sn auditorium
would b, worth a great deal more to the
city than the market.
t’lem Phillips: It seem, to be w very
sensible snd practical thing to do.
