THE MACON TELEGRAPH : SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER II, 1904.
OFFICE BUILDING IS
PRACTICALLY ASSURED
MEETING OF ELKS' COMMITTEE YEQTERDAY WITH MR. E. W. HO-
RINE, OF ATLANTA, RESULTED IN AN AGREEMENT WHICH IS
VERY LIKELY TO PROVE SATISFACTORY TO ALL PARTIES
CONCERNED—THE ELKS TO OCCUPY THE SEVENTH FLOOR AND
THE BUILDING TO BE KNOWN AS “THE GRAND"—PAPERS ARE
YET TO BE SIGNED—THEATER WILL BE READY BY NOV. 15.
There 1b very little now to prevent
the erection of the seven Btory office
building which L. DeGive & Son have
had under consideration for several
weeks. There was a meeting of a com
mittee from the Elks lodge of Macon,
with E. M. Horlne representing L.
DeGive & Son In this city, yesterday,
which practically completed the ar
rangements for turning the seventh
floor of this proposed building over to
the Elks and If further details work
out satisfactorily, the building will be
assured.
DeGive & Son have been anxious to
go forward with the erection of this
building and Mr. Horlne also has been
giving much time to the plans which
have been # under consideration with
the Elks. Several propositions have
been under consideration during the
• deliberations and that which is very
likely to prove acceptable on both sides
was discussed yesterday.
The committee of Elks who have had
this matter in chnrge are as follows:
Messrs. F. B. West. E. L. Martin. Jo
seph Bloch, Alex Blair. W. E. Martin
and C. R. Wright. The Information
which has been given out comes from
this committee. According to their
statement the contract is now awaiting
the signature of L. DeGive & Son. If
the papers are signed the building is
assured and It Is said to be very prob
able that this will be done ns soon as
Mr. Horlne can present them in 'At
lanta.
By these arrangements the Elks will
occupy the seventh floor of the new
building. The name of the building will
be "The Grand," but on the front,
about the fifth or sixth floor, the in
Blgnla of the Elks Lodge, consisting of
a life size Elk, will be Imbedded in
stone. The building Is to be fitted up
wjth two rapid Are electric elevators
and will be steam heated.
The changes In the work which are

being made at present will be slight
and the stories will be added ns fast as
the contractors can do the work.
It has been the purpose of the build
ers to have the theatre ready by the
middle of November. No play will be
seen In this part of the building until
it has been completed. The principal
work will be directed towards the com
pletion of the theatre at once, and the
other four stories will be completed as
possible.
At the meeting yesterday with Mr.
Horlne the committee from the Elks
went into the plans and discussed
them very fully. The terms which pro
vide for the occupancy of the seventh
floor by the Elks have been practically
agreed upon by ,ill parties concerned
and while at present there is come pos
sibility of falling to reach a final
agreement, there is little probability of
such a thing and all are looking for the
erection of the building.
This gives Macon the sky-scraper
which has been discussed for nearly
six months. A great deal of capital will
be added in this enlargement of the
building and when it is completed it
Ill be one of the best equipped and
lost imposing office buildings in the
state.
was dated some time ngo that in
the event of making this building a
seven-story structure there would be.
some likelihood of submitting a bid
for the temporary quarters of the fede
ral courts. Thts matter has not been
discussed further in Macon and it is
not. yet known what will be done with
regard to this proposition. It was stat
ed by Mr. E. A. Horne some time ago
that a rental proposition might be sub
mltted to the government although the
Intention of L. DeGive & Son to do so
had not been made known.
The work on the building has been
pushed forward during the past week
at a rapid rate. Almost all the frame
and wooden work for the third story
has been placed and the brick work is
going up on all the walls. It iwll be
several months before the seven story
structure has been completed.
Mr. TV. C. Lyons of the Macon Car
pet and Furniture Store has returned
from his annual trip to New York,
where he was unusually successful in
obtaining at reasonable prices many of
the choicest novelties of the season, In
carpets, rugs, furniture, etc. He will
offer to the publio the best qualities
and at satisfactory Charges. His spe
cialties ih oriental rugs will attract all
persons who are furnishing their
homes. He wilibe equipped better than
before to meet the demands of the
trade.

MACON HEBREWS
i OBSERVE NEW YEAR
Interesting Services Were Conducted
'at the Synagogue Lest Night—New
Year Began Friday at Sundown.
The 566Gth anniversary of the He
brew New Year was celebrated In Ma
con yesterday and Friday night. At sun
around and since then the Jews of Ma
con havo been observing its coming.
Unlike the New Year’s day of the Gen
tiles, the day Is observed by the He
brews more for its religious signifi
cance than as a happening of civil In
terest.
On Friday night last Interesting ser
vices were conducted by Rabbi Witt at
the synagogue on Magnolia street. Ex
cellent singing was rendered by the
choir of Mrs. Max Cohen and Mrs. C.
Wachtel. sopranos; Mrs. J. L. Mack
and Miss Rosa Glaser, altos; Mr. Jos.
Boone, tenor; and Mr. Samuel Ever-
* ett. bass. At the services Friday night
Rabbi Witt spoke on • , Falth. , • He took
his subject from the text, "The Lord
is my Savior."
Again last night services were con
ducted. These services concluded the
New Year’s exercises at the synagogue.
Rabbi Witt spoke on "Plain Living and
High Thinking.”
With the Orthodox Jews the New
Year services will not be concluded un
til tonight. The day of atonement,
which Is the most solemn occasion
with Hebrews will be observed next
Sunday. Services will be held at the
synagogue all day on the following
, Monday.
In Macon yesterday all business
houses conducted by Jews were closed.
ed was & member of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers and members
of both the Macon and Atlanta lodges
will attend the funeral. Mr. Cherry
was also a member of the Macon Ma
sonic Lodge No. 5 and at tho time of
his death was In good standing. Tho
Interment will be conducted at River
side cemetery at 2:30 o’clock.
The deceased Is survived by his sis
ters, Mrs. J, R. Tuggle of Stone Moun
tain, 'Mrs. Howell McAfco of Smith-
vllle. Mrs. C. E. Long and Mrs. W. E.
Hatchett of Decatur, Go., and Mr. J.
S. Cherry of Macon. He was tho son
of the late H. J. Cherry, of Macon. At
the time of his death deceased Cherry
about 42 years of age.
John, Grant, the negro who-was cap
tured by Sheriff Will Freeman and Of
ficer Williams of Griffin yesterday
morning, after he had attempted, it Is
alleged, two criminal nssaults, wan
brought to Macon Suturday morning
under the charge of Sheriff Freeman
and placed in the Bibb county Jail for
safe keeping. The feeling In Griffin ns
soon as the news of the attempted as
saults was spread ran high and It Is
probably due to the quick work of tho
officers that a lynching was averted.
It seems that at about 3 o'clock yes
terday morning a Griffin lady was
awakened from her slumbers by some
one entering her room by means of a
window. Receiving no respouse to her
first call she spoke again, somewhat
louder than befofe. At the second call
she espied a negro making a quick exit
from her room by means of the win
dow through which ho wus supposed to
have entered. An alarm was given and
officers hurried to the scene to Inves
tigate.
Scon afterwards a colored woman
reported a similar attempt at assault
upon her daughter. Sh6 stated that tho
would-be assaulter was a negro named
John Grunt, who Is about 25 years of
age.
Both Sheriff Freeman and Officer
Williams hurried to tho homo of Grant,
'here he was captured some time lat
er. Tracks were compared ond the of-
llcores bocumo convinced that they luid
landed the right person.
It was decided by tho Griffin author
ities to send Grant to Macon at tho
earliest posslblo moment, as feeling In
that section hnd begun to run high.
Sheriff Freeman, In charge of tho ne
gro, boarded a Central train and ar
rived with bis chnrge In Macon shortly
after 11 o’clock yesterday morning.
Grant was taken to tho jail and con
fined.

The annual Georgia division reunion
of the United Confederate Veterans of
Georgia which is to convene at Rome
September 14 will be largely attended
by Macon veterans, sons of vterann
and friends. Preparations have been
completed by Camp Macon 1447, U. C.
V„ to send to Rome on tho opening day
a large number of delegates, consisting
of members of the camp, their friends
and sons of veterans. Arrangements
have been made by which two coaches
will be secured for the special use o!
the Macon veterans and their friends
The coaches are a sleeper and a com
missary car. Under the supervision of
Quartermaster R. J. Anderson this car
will he plentifully stocked with enough
provisions to last throughout the en
tire trip. While at tho reunion the
local delegates will reside In the
sleeper.
The committee composed of members
of Camp Macon wish to request that
all persons that are contemplating
making the trip apply to them at once,
as a number of details have yet to be
arranged.
About tho same time the Macon par
ty leaves there will be hundreds of del
egates from this section of the state
en route to Rome to attend the annual
reunion.
While at Rome the local delegates
will again present their invitation to
the association to hold its next annual
reunion at Macon. Several days ago
the invitation was extended the asso
ciation. The subject will be strong:'
pushed by the Macon men, and it la ex
tremely probable that the next con
vention will be held at Macon in 1905
