WATER WAGON
HASAJROLIC
Mutes Run Away and Have a E\
Tim# of It All By Themselves—
What They 8ay About IL
If you ask the poUpeman on your
boat tonight Want was tho funniest
thing he has seen In a < Jong time, he
wilt tell you that ft waa;the runaway
of the water wagon the other night.
Friday night the street sprinkling
wagon, belonging to tho street aweep-
lng department, was taking water
from a hydrant opposite the city halL
The driver had gotten down to ar
range tho section of fcosp that feeds
tho big tank with water, when the
mules took a sudden notion to go
down the atreet Being down grade,
the notion was no sooner started than
the weight of the wagon lent its aid,
and In short order the mules and the
wagon were going down Poplar street
at a new automobile speed. There
being no pulling to do, because of tho
down grade, the muled saw that they
had a picnic all to themselvea. with
a clear right-of-way, nothing being
on the street at that time of night,
and on they went.
It may be that the cool night air
added to the exuberance of their spir
its, and t.;e mules may have said to
eac iiother, in their mulish way, "ain't
wo having a time of it." Then they
made a stop, and singularly enough,
that atop wus right In front of where
there was once, In the days gone by,
you might aay In the far past, a place
known as ft bar-room. It was ■>
Iced, however, that fliey lingered only
long enough for the Imaginary driver
to gat down from hla perch and go
lit and take an Imaginary drink and
come out wiping an Imaginary mouth
and yell out "git tup there, you aid
dingbats."
The Imaginary driver having
sumed his perch on the wagon, off
started the mules, still on tho down
grade, and bless goodness. If they
didn't stop again In front of another
c-saloon. Joe's a Dutd'iman!
Here the team halted. If mules
talk, or If they could talk, they would
have said this:
Did you notice, my dear comrade,
that wo have made tho entire trip
from the city hall to Fourth street
without anybody trying to get on the
water wagon! Times have certainly
efinngod. Either there Is no one who
wants to get on tho wagon any more,
or there la no one to get on. Once
ihnd an occasional passenger who
would stay on for a while at least,
but 1 'ro we are with Just as much
room a« ever, and not a man attempts
to get on. How do you account for
this change, my dear comrade?"
“"‘.'a this near-beer. They tell
that It Is neither beer nor booxc. buf
a cross between the two. It seems to
be a satlsfler. The water wagon pas-
songer went out with prohibition."
"Maybe so. Well, let's be mosey
ing along. It la our duty to lay the
dust, and they will be hunting around
town for us."
Then the driver found them, gave
a Jerk, and the frolic was over. \

Torrence painted both houses, one De

THE SWEEPERS FAILED
TD SWEEPTHE PARIS
AND THE RESULT WAS THEY
WERE IN BAD CONDITION FOR
8bNDAY.
Those people In the city who are
striving to bring about a city beau
tiful out of Macon, experienced a chill
yesterday morning when their eyea
beheld the parka on Poplar atreet.
They were two Inches deep In tho
leavings of fodder and luty with which
the country teams had been fed on for
tha week or so past. Fortunately,
yesterday was a still day, otherwise
this fodder and hay and pieces of pa
per and other traah would have been
strewn all over the sidewalks, as It
was on a previous Sunday.
The street sweeping force knocks
off work now at 12 o'clock on Satur
day nights, and this accounts for the
unkempt condition of the streets on
8undsy mornings.
Inspector Nottingham says that he
! want# to Inaugurate another system
of peeping the streets clean. He
j thinks that If he has two squads of
I five men each. Working In the day and'
night time, he will be able to keep the
ance. especially where the two en
trances to th# city from the railroad
depots, so that strangers may receive
an early Immrerslon of the appearance
of the city, but he Is not quite certain
as to the best way to do this.
Outside of the Poplar street parka
the other streets of the city were look-
, lng spruce and neat yesterday morn
ing. Only those peeks were In bad
shape. Just what la to be done about
them la a problem.
•o today.

BIG DEAL MAY

TRANSFERRING ALL MACON
STOCKHOLDINGS IN M. L. A R.
CO. TO CENTRAL GEORGIA
POWER CO.
It-Js reported that another deal is
on in connection with the Macon Rail
way & Light Co.
Those connected with th® company
say they ar® not yet in a position to
tell Of any transaction pending or that
has been consummat' d, but enough has
been learned to warrant the statement
that some day this week the stock in
the Mncon Railway & Light Co. held
in Macon will be transferred to the
Electric Securities Company. This Is
the company that Is financiering the
Central Georgia Power Co.
The transfer of this stock, which
is only that held by Macon parties,
does not in any way affect the com
pany except to give It additional
strength. When the transfer is made,
which Is expected to be done in a day
or two. there Will probably be a re
organisation. meaning a new board of
directors, but not necessarily new of
ficers.
Eventually, so It Is understood, the
Central Georgia Power Co. will xbsorb
all, the railway, and light and power
plants, In which Macon people havo
Invested much. This company hss W.
J. Massre for Its president and among
Its stockholders are a number of Ma
con men.

MARKETS.
of strength and confidence was manifest
last week in the financial markets' but
Its active expression was restrained by
watting for fulfillment of some of the
factors which would reaffirm the pros
tive causes for the hopeful sentiment,
the stock market itself a sentiment
of reserve towards any great extension
of commitments was distinguished after
tho almost Instantaneous restoration of
the price level on Monday, with the ces
sation of the foreign liquidation. Un
doubtedly . this reserve was Induced by
tho contemplation of the enormour
credit expansion, of the New Tork banki
which had accompanied the acceptance
of the foreign sales of American securi
ties, while the war ecaro was In force

Government Finances.
Finally, due consideration must be
riven to the peculiarities of. the state of
late, what had to be done in the silver
campaign, when, in one summer, we had
to convince a great many good people
that what they had been laboriously
taught for several years previous was
untrue.
Under such circumstances you would
be the best posslWo leader, and with
your leadership we could rest assured
that only good methods would prevail.
In such a contest you could do very
much if you were on the bench; you
could do very much If you were In active
political life outside. I think you could
do most as president; but you could do
fry much as chief Justice, and you
luld do less, but still very much, os as
sociate Justice. 'Where you can light
.best I cannot say. for you know what
|your soul turns to better than I can.
As 7 see the situation it is this: There
are strong arguments against your hik
ing this justiceship. In the first place
my belief Is that of oil the men that
have appeared so far you are tho man
who Is most likely to receive tho repub
lican nomination, and who is. I think,
the best man to receive It. It la not a
light thing to cast aside the chance of
