plained that his condition might not be
termed serious, but ho believed him to
be a very sick man.
"Any worse than when plnced In Jail?"

swer was given. He still requires stimu
lants, said the Jailer, but a further state
ment was made that tho physicians are
now trying to reduce the quantity,
His attorneys still make regular visits
to his cell. These are Messrs. Malcalm
Jones and Roland Ellis. Besides these
and tho members of the family, no other
persons are admitted to the cell.
The Jailer was asked what prevented
other people from seeing him. and ho
stated that It was thought best on sc
count of his physical condition to main
tain as much quiet ns possible and his
nervous condition also. It was said, was
such that It might be made worse at any
moment by tho least excitement.
Members of the family visit the Jail
frequently, and converse with him. as
often as allowed by tho physicians. It Is
said that tho prisoner has been unablo
to talk very much atnee going to Jail,
and has veijr little to say at present tp
Yesterday Evening Was Greatly En
joyed by Young People at Young
Men’s Christian Association.
Yesterday waa a day of interest at
the Young Men's Christian Asoclatlon
building. From 3:30 to G p. m. the
social by the Ladles' Auxiliary proved
a most enjoyable affair. Tho Christ
mas offering was a feature -that was a
financial success. Misses Wilder, New
man and Roberts and Mrs. Hinkle
favored the gathering during the ev
ening. The refreshment committee of
the auxiliary, of which Mrs. W.
Castor Is chairman, furnished refresh
ments and Mrs. O. M. Grady and her
able aslstants received the guests.
The ladies will co-operate In making
the New Year's reception, which will
be Tuesday, Junuary 2, from 8 to 10
p. m.. a noted occasion.
The boys’ department of the Y. M,
C. A. was honored last night at tho
association building. A game of bas
ket ball was played by the young men
complimentary to the Intermediates
and Juniors.
A soclnl followed the ball game. The
boys were given conundrums under the
title of "Nuts to Crack.' There were
six hoys who gavo correct answers to
twelve out of fifteen, and John Austin,
Jr., drew the winning prise. Each boy
was given a package of cracked nuts.
This was followed by additional re
freshments, lemonade and cakes. /
real Jolly time was afforded the mem
bers of the boys' department.
Crowds Could Not be Accommodated
and Some Were Turned Away—
Capt. Hobson Will Remain Over To
day and Tomorrow—Will Visit Mer
cer This Morning and Will Speak
Sunday Morning In Mulberry Street
Methodist Church—Banquet of Kap
pa Alphas.
Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson
lectured last night at Wesleyan Col
lege chapel to an over-crowded house
upon the subject, "America's Mighty
mission."
The announcement of his coming
upon Macon lyceum was received sev
eral weeks ago with much Interest In
Macon and last night the desire of the
Macon public to hear him vyui evin
ced In tho Immense attendance of peo
ple who greeted him.
.Many people were turned away from
the building on account of failure to
secure standing room. The attendance
was decidedly the largest upon the
lyceum up to the present time. Messrs.
Snell and Beaumont, the managers,
were themselves surprised at the large
numbers.
The distinguished visitor was Intro
duced by Hon. John T. Bolfeulllet.
Captain Hopson was In fine condition
and handled his subject with enthu
siasm and convincing logic. His theme,
a grist one, was made most Important
from the beginning and tho magnlni-
mlty with which It grew unltl the end
held the audience to the highest strain
of Inteset.. He was forceful, power
ful, logical, and eemphatlc.
Capt. Hobson was npplauded often
as he went Into the depths of his sub*
Ject. Those who attended listened for
nearly two hours with the greatest In
terest and were loath to leave at the
hour of closing. The lecture was
pronounced the best of the present
season and the hero of the Merrlmac
spoke In such manner as to convince
his audience of hls power os a think
er upon national affairs.
The lecture was a great successe and
will contribute very largely to the
local lycoum for the present season.
The local managers. Messrs. Marvin J.
Snell and Francis Beaumont, have la
bored diligently to make this number
a most Important one and to them Is
largely due the fact that Capt. Hob
son has been acquainted with the city
and its people.
It was announced Inst night by Rev.
W. N. Ainsworth that Capt. Hobson
had consented to remain In the city
over today and Sunday. He will speak
Sunday In Mulberry Street Methodist
church upon a religious subject thnt
will reach and Interest the public. This
announcement will be received with
pleasure by those who failed to get nn
opportunity to hear him In the lecture
last night.
Todny Capt. Hobson will visit the
young men at Mercer ^University and
It has been arranged for him to attend
the meetings of the two library so
cieties. It Is probable that he will
apeak to the young men In a Join
meeting of the two library societies
the Fhl Deltas and the Clceroneons.
Capt. Hoheon will be royally enter
tained In Macon. He has expressed
great pleasure nt having the opportu
nity of spending so much time In the
city and will make the best of It by
visiting and becoming acquainted with
as many of the churches, schools, and
colleges as possible before leaving.
Last night the members of the Kap
pa Alpha fraternity nt Mercer Univer
sity furnished a banquet at the Hotel
Lanier In honor of Capt. Hobson who
those who '
him.
