He introduced resolutions anent the con struction of a railroad from Macon to the seaboard, .and the co-operation of Savannah was assured.

Tho Legislatures of thirty-seven States and two Territories of this Union are now in session. Laws are multiplying "thick as autumnal leaves .'hat. strow the brooks In Vallombrosa." Some very radical legislation is being adopted by a number of the bodies. The enactments of the Alliance and Populist legislatures of the restless east were not a marker to certain ex treme hills now liecoming statutes. That so many legislatures should be hoklirg at the same time Is an inter esting fact. Another legislature will be added to the above number torjior- row, namely: that of Hawaii. Under , the law the slxtv days biennial ses- iv °re very large. A branch bank of ion of this far away body begins on the com P an T was established in Macon in the Legislature to build ^ road from Macon to Savannah, he did not receive., the assistance of the Savannah Sena tor, but later Savannah took hold of tho project, and the Savannah City Council had a temporary survey made of the route. The credit for the origin of the Central road Is due Dr. Baber. This gentleman also took great Interest j in the building of the Monroe road. Which is the older church building, the Mulberry Street Methodist or the First Presbyterian? This question was asked me yesterday and was sug gested by the 'fact that some very de cided improvements have just been made to the Methodist building, and plans are now on foot to repair the building of the Presbyterians. I think the First Presbyterian congregation was the first formed in Macon, but the Mulberry Street Methodists are occu pying the oldest building. By the ef forts of Representative Tarpley Holt, of Bibb County, the Legislature of Geor gia granted two acres of ground at what is now the corner of Mulberry and First streets, though at that time the location was outside of the limits of the citv of Macon, on which to erect a Methodist Church. By zealous work, in which the ladies took no little part, the building was completed in 1S2S, and within was a gallery reserved for negroes. As the town grew, the con gregation of the church increased, and Dr. Ambrose Baber were made war dens. In April, 1S26. the first conven tion of the diocese of Georgia met in Macon in the one-room court house, already described. The first Episcopal Church was built of brick and was opened in 1834. The corner stone of the present church was laid on March 10, 1851. The building was consecrated on May 2, 1852. Christ Church was the origin of the other Episcopal churches in Macon. The organization of the Baptists was effected in 1826, with a member ship of nine persons. For several years the Baptists held services in the house used by the Presbyterians. In 1832 they built a brick house on the corner of Mulberry and Second streets, which was afterward sold, and they erected a church near the foot of Cherry street. Later, built on First street, near Cotton ' avenue, and In 1853-54 erected a handsome building on Second street, between Cherry and Poplar, which was used until a few Feb. 9. 1907 Feb. 11. 1 22 Feb. 12, 1007 19 Feb. 13. 1907 3 Feb, 14, 1907.. 23 Stock on Hand.

The opening was steady at unchanged prices to an advance of 2 points on ac count of rather steadier cables than ex pected, but the market weakened almost immediately under a renewal of the sell ing noted on the previous day.

News had little to do. apparently, with the action of the market. The decisive influence was the perception that the improved demand incited by yesterday’s encouraging action of the market was being talten advantage of to realize by the purchasers of yesterday. The profes sional traders accepted this as an indi cation that yesterday's operations were • designed for a short turn on the market. When they perceived the realizing they sold prices down, with the ready adapt ability of that class to the most available movement of prices under the early buy ing which helped to absorb the offerings. Realizing was helped out by the de mand for London account. The prosaic termination of today's meetings by con trast was followed by considerable sell ing of stocks all through the list.

Occasionally some repairs have been made to the building, but the general appearance of the sertucture has not been changed, as in the case of the Mulberry Street Methodist 'building. It was largely by Macon and Sa vannah money that the Central rail road was constructed.

As I understand it, the construction of the Central commenced at the Savannah end. but the contract for building the road from Macon to the Oconee river was given, in the latter part of 1840, to three Macon men. Robert and Charles Collins, and Elam Alexander. In this. year. 1840, there was consider able discussion as to whether the depot of the Central should he built in East Macon or West Macon. It was decid ed to erect' it in East Macon, as many citizens thought its location in West Macon, in connection with the Monroe road, would be injurious to the inter ests of Macon and of the Monroe.

It was a wooden structure, and stood on tho site now occupied by the Southern Ex press office, on Fourth strefet. Later the building was purchased by the Catholics and used by them as a place of worship, and was afterward sold and removed to the southwestern part of the city, and Is now used by a negro congregation. The first regular pastor of the Presbyterian was Rev. Edwin Holt, who was chosen in 1S31, and re mained until the end of 1834.
