CAMP 8MITH HA8 TAKEN UP THE
MATTER AND THE MOVEMENT
WILL PROBABLY BEGIN TO TAKE
DEFINITE 8HAPE—DAUGHTER8
OF CONFEDERACY MAY HELP.
At the meeting of Camp R. A. Smith
on Friday night, the subject of the
monument to the women of the south
was brought up by a lettar received
from Mr. J. F. Hodges, who feels a
deep interest In the matter.
A committee was appointed to take
It up and see what could be done.
Hut It Is probable that the views of
an old vet published tile other day will
flt the caso better than anything that
can be done. In effect this suggestion
la this:
The veterans undertook to build a
monument to the women of the south
during tha war. They raised some
money, they gave all they could give,
and by hard work managed to raise
enough to lay the base on the little
park In front of the auditorium. Then
j they realised that death had so thln-
i ned the ranks, and that the death roll
1 Im growing larger nnd larger with the
• panning years, and furthermore that
I tho weight of these passing ytars Is
! rradually flattening their pocketbooks,
that they had reached their limit. Thus
! thf. granite base stands on that little
park, in its present shape a monument
to an unsuccessful effort to build the
j monument to which they would be glad
(to take off their hats to before death
reaps them all. This la the situation,
brhfly told.
To place a suitable shaft upon that
base requires more money than the old
grixsfed brigade can raise themselvi
The old veterui alluded to made the
NUggfi'tlon that as the women to whom
the monument was Intended to be
erected are the mothers and grand
mothers of the ladles forming the
Daughters of the Confederacy. an ap
peal should be made to them to come
to the a.MHlstanre of the veterans.
That there has been some hesitancy
on the part of these ladles to a!d In
this movement was known to the late
Hen. Stephen D. Lee, as ho wrote In
1904:
"For some reason, our movement to
erect a monument to our patriotic Con
federate women, who shared with us
all the hardships, sacrifices, and trials
of the great Var between the states,
has not met with the success it de
serves; nn<l mostly because cur glori
ous women have discouraged the work
—saying, no! Let us build monuments
to our heroes—we want no monument*
for ourselves.'
"I would therefore earnestly urge and
request, and appeal to every veteran cf
our great association, nnd to every
WMngham’sWarehoase
COTTON FACTORS
other lover of the south, and our glorl
ous women, to give every assistance
to General Walker and hla commit
tee, who la worklnr for a grand and
j patriotic object, and to aid our sons,
i who have ao nobly assumed thla au-
I preme object. Help him and them.
* and I feel euro that the efTort wlU
be crowned by a most deserved •ac
cess.”
He was writing to Gen. C. Irvine
Walker who Is Interested In either one
grand monument for the purpose, or
a aeries of state monuments but it
showed the hesitancy of the ladles
and their reasons for It.
It wrb at Gulfport that Gen. Wal
ker. speaking in the Interest of hi*
own plan, said:
”We hive learned that It was the
men behind the guns who made the
renown of our generals; but I tel!
you the true credit was due to the
girls behind the men behind the guna.
Daughters take that position now—get
behind us now and make us shoot so
straight and so often, that we and
you, will have the glory of having
erected these monuments to the women
of the Confederacy—let ua show In
permanent and everlasting form, to
all the world and to all generations,
that the g*rU of the sixties, who were
behind the men. behind the guna, were
the beat and noblest, the purest and
truest women who ever blessed this
fair earth/ Let us also show that
their RUbllme heroism and God-lfke
devotion has been appreciated."
It Is to these women that the Ma
con veterans wanted a monument,
was to them that they worked so hard
to raise the money with whlph was
placed In position tho granite base that
appeals to the people In its mute way
for the shaft.
Gen Walker favors a certain model
for these monuments, and he will soon
go to Washington to approve tho mod
el that has been made there, but th->
design for the Macon monument has
been drawn and accepted by the mon
ument association. The replicas of the
monument favored by Gen. Walker
will cost $5,000; tho completion of
tho Macon monument will not co'it
half that sum. But the Bibb veterans
are In hearty sympathy with the plans
of Gen. Walksr; but what they want
now and all they can do la to make
the effort to complete the monument
here already begun.
Tho veterans hope that the Daugh
tars of the Confederacy will overcome
the objection mentioned by Gen. Lee
and come to tho aid of the local camps
of veterans In tho early completion of
the monument at Macon, so that Its
unveiling will form the principal fea
ture of tho coming 26th of April.

ON poplar street left from
A FIRE YESTERDAY MORNING-
INSURANCE ON STOCK AND
BUILDING.
Poplar street has been In the lime
light for several days because of the
controversy over tho pnrkn In the
atroct, hut Saturday night and yester
day morning It waa wry much in the
firelight.
The first of these lights wan, an stat
ed In yesterday's Telegraph, In tho
furniture atoro of Elrod & Oduni, 4to
Poplar, next to 8tovn Wright's drug
store. This occurred shortly after 11
o'clock, and waa confined to the middle
of the store. The fire was dlscov
In time to prevent Its spread, nnd the
loss will amount, in the opinion nr
those who are supposed to know, it
about fifty per cent.
There was about $5,000 Ipsuranre on
the dtock In the store. The huatneaa had
been purchased by Messrs. Elrod A
Odum only two or three weeks ago.
The building belongs to the Order of
Railway Conductors, and Is not dam
aged. The loss to thev stock was caus
ed by the heat blistering the furni
ture. Origin of fire unknown.
The second fire waa registered at
2:41 yesterday morning. This fire !l*.l
Its work more effectively, completely
'wiping out. the ten thousand dollar
stock of Messrs. McClelland A 'Berg,
and damaging the building, belong*ng
to the estate of I. IT. English, to such
nn extent that only the walls can ,be
saved.
'It was about 1:30 that two em
ployes of The Telegraph were at the
corner of Cotton avenue and Poplar
street. Just about to aay goodnight to
each other, when there was a sound
of crashing glass In the direction of
the drug store of W. E. Shelverton.
These gentlemen said to each othe»
that some burglar was trying to break
Into a j>awnahop again, this having
been the method of breaking into the
■place oli three separate occasions, and
they decided to investigate and If
possible lend a hand to Justice. Bui
almost Instantly there came a sheet
of flnnio and a volume of smoke from
the front of the burning store of Me
Ctelland A Berg. To the fire head
quarters, only a short distance away,
they hurried. They bunged on the
door, nnd every horse In the house
knf*w that something was wrong and
arose on their haunches and stamped
the door with such A noise that the
sleeping firemen hustl'd out of their
beds as quickly as If the rfong had
sounded, coming down the poles like
squirrels.
The department understood from
what the gentlemen had said that the
fire In the store lower down the street
lmd broken out afresh, and off they
started to the furniture store where the
fire had broken out tl\c night before,
but when they turned Into Poplar
street they naw the biaxe, which by
thls time was a considerable <
The flames were aa In a frolic, roll
ing backward nnd forward In the store,
scampering over the Inflammable stock
on either side of th*e extra wide room
while the front doors nnd windows
with the glass broken out served only
as a means of escape for the smoke.
It waa not long before four streams
were being poured on tho Inside, the
firemen having an unobstructed oppor
tunity. but th® flames played tricks on
them. They would die down under
the deluge of water to rtao up again
and start their frolic over the store.
Four times this occurred, and then a
broadside of water was thrown and th*
flames conquered at last. Two hours
of fighting finished the flames, and

Are Microbes in Your Scalp?
Many Explanation* of Baldneee Havo
Been Advanced—Th* Moat Cor-
re-t ia That of Microbes.
The terra "mlcrobef refers lo a
plant or f.:r,gl &'.»o called
bacteria. A microbe Ik so small that
it can only bo detected by tho aid- of
a microscope. Some microbes are
harmless, while others produce va
rious diseases, and derive their titles
through the form of tt-elr growth or
because of the diseases they crtatdr
which diseases are Infectious or con
tagious.
Prof. TJnna, of Hamburg, Germany,
and Dr. Sabourand, the leading der
matologist of France, discovered that
a microbe caused baldness, and their
theory has time and again been am
ply verified through re««arch experi
ments carried on through the ob
servation of eminent scientists. This
microbe lodges In the Sebum, which
is the natural hair oil, and If per
mitted to flourish, It destroys the hale
follicles, and In time the pores en
tirely dose and the scalp gradually
takes on a shiny appearance. When
this happens there Is no hope of the
hair growth being revived.
Dandruff Is a contagious disease
which a microbe causes, and later
produces Itching scalp, falling a air
and baldness. Dandruff Is caused oy
the microbe diseasing the sebaceous
matter, which dries up and pcaJes
off. Sometimes the cuticle surround
ing the hair allows the natural oil
of the hair to. force its way between
the flakes of scarf akin dlreet to the
hair, and the microbe bating between
tho flakes force them apart and they
scale off aa dandruff.
We have a remedy which positively
will remove dandruff, exterminate the
microbe, promote good circulation in
the scalp, tighten and revltallxe the
hair roots, grow hair and cure bald
ness. We back up this statement on
our own personal guarantee that thla
remedy. which Is called Rexall ”93''
Hair Tonic, will be supplied, free of
all coat to the user If It falls to do as
we promise. It will also restore gray
and faded hair to Its original rich,
glossy color. If loss of color has been
caused by disease, yet it la no sense
a dye. Rexall ”91" Hair Tonic ac
complishes these results by making
every hair root, follicle and pigment
gland strong and active, and by stim
ulating a natural flow of coloring pig
ment Into the hair cells.
Rdkall ”93" Hair Tonic Is entirely
free from grease or sediment. Is ex
ceedingly pleasant to use, and will not
gum the hair or soil the dotting or
pillows.
We want every one troubled with
hair or scalp ailments, even though
they are bald in spots, to try Rexall
”93” Hair Tonic on our guarantee. We
exact no obligations or promises, and
almply ask you to give it a thorough
trial, and If not satisfied, tell us, and
w® will refund tho money paid us.
