Henry MeAlpln, the Ordinary of Chatham County, owns a unique and Interesting ante-bellum home near this city. Many prominent and wealthy citi zen- of Atiantn are spending a large piortlon of their time at their country homes tieyond th,- city limits. Among these I have noted tffe beautiful homes of Mr. J. K. Ottley, cashier of the J-ourth National Hank, of Col. W. L. Peel, president of the Mnddox-Ruckcr Linking Co., of Col. Z. D. Harrison, for thirty years clerk of the Supreme Court of Georgia, and others really too numerous to mention. There are around Macon a number of lovely country homes which • are being annually beautified by the charming and cultivated women who spend all, or nearly all. of their time at their lovely country houses. Mr. C. W. Howard lives in Ribb County, be tween Lorane and Holton. He Is a graduate in literature and in law, but prefers the life of a farmer and hor ticulturist. as does his successful brother, Mr. J. D. Howard. Mr. A. W. Turner, a prominent and able mer chant of Mneon. is spending much of his time at his iovelv home near Hol ton. ten miles,from Macon. Mr. D. P. Hlllyer. cashier of the American Na tional Rank, la now occupying an ele vated and desirable home a few miles from this city. Mr. Winship Cabanlss is now erecting a very large, expen sive and beautiful log residence about ten miles from Macon, which will be not only unique and beautiful, but comfortable and elegant In • its ap pointments. C. M. Orr, J3«q.. late cashier of the Exchange Bank, Macon, hns resigned and moved to his beauti ful home, “Wingfield." Around the city of Augusta in Its suburbs nre dwelling such excellent citizens as Hon. W. IT. Fleming, ox- irfember of Congress. Col. C. G. Good rich. cashier of the Georgia Railroad Bank. Hon. W. F. Eve, for twenty- five years judge of the City Court of Richmond County, Hon. W. A. Clark, tlv popular and accomplished treas urer of Richmond County, well known as a writer, spenker and poet. Around the smaller cities of Geor gia similar dlspsltlon to locate outside of the city limits Is growing rapidly. '"Gentlemen farmers, with their college tarined sons and bright and winsome daughters are being developed, and scientific farming, terracing and fer tilizing land, not with artificial stimu lants alone, but with brains and com mon sense, maintaining real refine ments and sensible luxuries, are grow ing in numbers daily. In a few years from now we will have landed fami lies. which gave to the South before the Civil War its distinctive and de lightful character. And in years to come the next generation will see that the true home of the family is becom ing more and more the country abode, ami Instead of living a few weeks of the summer in the country the rule will become to spend only a few weeks of the winter during the theatrical season perhaps in the city. Conveniences which nre common in tile country, such as the- suburban tele phone make them accessible and con venient to neighbors, to cities, and are proving of wonderful value as well as comfort and Increasing the willingness of city residents to move to and live permanently in country homes. City families are now turning to their country homes earlier in the spring, anil they linger there longer in the fall. In a few lrcflef years the city house will become the temporary home. It is not the very rich who are thus solely turning to country life: those who are in more moderate circum stances have their inclinations direct ing them countryward also, and in a still larger degree, and whenever our boards of education see the necessity and the propriety of encouraging this purpose hv giving the very best coun- school facilities, then our country distaste.

They take pains In Im proving these homes and bettering them In comparison with the more rustic, rural ones through which they passed their boyhood days. They ex pand and beautify the beloved old- fashioned flower garden, and cultivate eagerly the garden of vegetables. They construct smooth and lovely driveways and pleasant paths In which to walk, and wind them through lovely and graceful shrubbery. The' country par lors are ornamented by libraries, by numerous magazines, by the best lit erature and political weeklies and by classic as well as modern novels and other books. Here in these sweet homes the occupants find time to read, to think over, to discuss the literature, the politics and the social matters of the day. as well as the historic truths and wonderful events of the past. Many of these country homes have their grounds for croquet, for tennis and for golf. The old and the young play. s All of these things have served to completely revolutionize country life In many respects. What more can an in telligent countryman desire than the possession of good, smooth roads, dally delivery of mails, the use of the tele phone. of abundant use of water and of the cheap lights of which we have made mention, together with the nu merous means of dally communicatlgp and association with neighbors in the country and friends in the city? I fully believe that before many m6re years shall elapse there will be a con tinued increase In the number of citi zens throughout Georgia and the South who will either buy suburban homes or build them to suit their own tastes, and that the longevity and the happi ness of the people so doing will bo wonderfully increased. This is, in my judgment a consummation most de voutly to be wished. DIES IN NASHVILLE Barbourville—$150,000 coal company. La Grange—$100,000 building and loan company. Jeffersontown—$6,000 creamery.

John Cald well Calhoun. He was one of the most eminent and remarkable men this country ever produced, and his name and works will forever shine In golden letters on the monuments which rec ord the nation’s renown. His fame is a glorious heritage of the South, and its brightness is reflected from ocean to ocean. He was" a friend to liberty and loved the land of his birth. He gathered for himself unfading laurels in the defense of Southern institu tions. and left many brilliant memo rials of his genius in championing the interests of the South. He was a member of that wonderful oratorical trio whose unrivalled careers in the Senate were the admiration of the era in which these men lived, and have been the pride and praise of all succeeding generations. Calhoun, Clay and Webster have gilded the pages of history with their glorious intellectual achievements. Calhoun’s Senatorial life was decked and adorn ed with the grand triumphs of his splendid mind, and fn other political places his lofty intellect shone in grandeur. He was an ardent patriot, a constant source of strength to the republic. , Cotton Receipts. NEW YORK, March 15.—The following are the total net receipts of cotton at all ports since September -1: Bales. Galveston New Orleans .. Mobile . Savannah Charleston .'•... Wilmington ...

He was born in the district of Abbeville. S. C., March 18. 1782, and died at Washing ton March 31. 1850, aged 68 years, while a Senator. On March 13. Cal houn spoke in the Senate for the last time, his remarks being on the slavery question. He fell back In his seat ex hausted, and was taken to his bed, whence he never rose again. His dis ease was a pulmonary affection, ag gravated by heart trouble. He grad uated with honor at Yale, in 1804. President Dwight, of the college, was so much impressed with the ability of Calhoun, the student, that he said, “the young man has talent enough to be President of the United States.” In time. Calhoun’s public career prov- ed the truth of Dr. Dwight’s assertion, and though he climbed rapidly to ward the Presidency, and was in sight of the goal, he never could quite reach the glittering prize, and like his great rivals. Clay and Webster, died with out attaining this crowning glory of political ambition. In June, 1807, Cal houn entered on the practice of law, about the time of the assault of the Leopard upon the Chesapeake. In dignation meetings were held in Ab beville. and Calhoun was so ardent and patriotic in his denouncement of the British outrage that, as a tribute of the people’s appreciation, he was elected to the Legislature for two terms. In 1810 he was chosen to Con gress, and then commenced that fong career of brilliant public service which immortalized the name and life of John C. Calhoun. and the independent treasury bill. Hot blows were given and received. It Is said that Mr. Calhoun considered this speech as the vindication of his pub lic life, and that he rested his pub lic character upon it. An admirer has compared this masterly utterance to the celebrated oration of Demosthenes for the crown. In answer to the as saults of Aeschines. “On the death of Calhoun, Webster delivered a glowing eulogy on his career and services, and paid "a beautiful tribute to “the un spotted integrity and unimpeached honor” of the man and statesman. Thfe tenor of his private life was pure, no ble, upselfish and simple. The great Senator has left a fragrant memory. Peace be to his illustrious shade! d j tinctinn of being the last Intondant of - j Macon. The first military oncamp- - 1 inent in Macon was held this year, d I 1632. The Macon Volunteers. Monroe Musketeers, and the Georgia Guards, of Milledgevllle, participated. In honor of the captain of the Volunteers the place of assembling was called /Camp Newcomb.” Intendnnt Eokley was captain of the Bibb Cavalry, an organization that was formed later. Intendant-Dannelly was elected first lieutenant of the Macon Volunteers at the time of the organization of the Company, April 23, 1S25. and subse quently became captain. Intendant Birdsong was chosen second lieuten ant. Mayors Seymour and Holmes held the position of captain of the Volunteers, and Mayor B. F. Ross was the commander of the Floyd Rifles. I think that Mayor Poe was also at one time captain of a Macon company. Since Macon became a city. Decern ber. 1S32, she has had twenty-one May ors, to-wit: Isaac G. Seymour. Rob ert Augustus Beall. Washington Poe. Frederick Sims. John J. Gresham James Nisbet. Isaac Holmes. George M. Logan. .Tames H. R. Washington E. L. Strohecker, B. F. Rofa, A. B Adams. O. G. Sparks. M. S. Thompson Stephen Collins. George S. Obear, W A. Huff. Felix Corput. S. B. Price. Hen ry Horne and the incumbent. Bridge Smith. I have mentioned the Mayor in the order of their first service. The majority of them served more than one term. Several held a number of con secutive terms, and others, after serv ing a while, retired for a season, and later returned to the executive chair. Of all the Mayors, the late S. B. Price served the longe.st time. His adminis tration covered a period of fonrteen (14) years. He died while in the of flee, and had he lived he would hav, been elected to another term. Macon was Incorporated as a city by an act of the Legislature in December. 1S32 Under the terms of this act, an election was held on January 17, 1833. for a hoard of five Aldermen and Isaac B Rowland. Isaac G. Seymour. David Flanders, Jerimiah Smith and David F. Wilson were chosen. The Aider- men selected Isaac G. Seymour for Mayor, and this gentleman therefore had the honor of being the first Mayor of the Central City of Georgia. He served in 1833 and 1S34. For these two first years the Mayor had been elected by the- Aldermen, but the Leg islature amended the laws of the city by giving to the people the right of electing the Mayor, and in 1835. Robert Augustus Beall was thus chosen, and ex-Mayor Seymour was elected an A1 derman. The election of city marshal and clerk of Council was also taken out of the hands of Council and this privilege given to the voters of Macon Brunswick 141.892 manufacturing News was received In Macon yes terday of the death in Nashville of Major John S.

In his very first year in Congress, in December. 1811. he made a strong speech on the proposition of the enlistment of an additional force of ten thousand regu lar troops, in which he gave reply to John Randolph.

Hampden and" Chatham; a coun try having the sarpe language and cus toms with ourselves and descending from a commSn ancestry. Sir, the laws of human affection are steady and uniform. If we have so much to attach us to that country, potent in deed must be the. cause which has overpowered it. Yes, there Is a cause strong enough; not in that occult courtly affection which he has sup posed to be entertained for Frapce; it is to be found in continued and un provoked insult and injury—a cause so manifest, that the gentleman from Virginia had to exert much ingenuity to overlook it. But the gentleman, in his eager admiration of that country, had not . been sufficiently guarded in his argument. Has he reflected on the cause of that admiration? Has he examined the reasons of our high re gard for Chatham? It is his ardent patriotism, the heroic courage of his mind, that could not brook the least insult or injury offered to his coun try, but thought that her interest and honor ought to be vindicated at every hazard and expense. I hope, when we are called upon to admire, we shall also be asked to imitate. ’ The elo- quence of Calhoun,/ in a series of speeches helped to arouse this country to a second war with Great Britain. Prior to the incorporation of Macon as a city, alluded to above, Macon had been a town fpjm December S. 1823 by an act of the Legislature. In this act for the incorporation of the town of Macon the following persons were named commissioners: Oliver H. Prince, David S. Booth, Samuel Wood, Charles J. McDonald and Seth Ward Prince afterwards became a Senator of the United States, and McDonald was Chosen Governor. The act provided that the commissioners were to remain in office until the first Monday In Jan uary. 1825, when, “and on the first in every year thereafter, the citizens of the town who were entitled to vote for members to the General Assembly shall assemble at the court house of the town; and by ballot, elect.five commissioners, who shall continue in office for gone year, and that the said commissioners have full power and authority to make any by-laws, ordinances or regulations, with power to enforce the same that they may deem best calculated to pro mote the general good of the citizens of said town.” In accordance with the terms of the act of Incorporation the people elected the commissioners for the firsjt time on the first Monday in January, 1825. The commissioners se lected James H. Rogers as the inten dant of the town, which office corre sponded to that of Mayor. And here is an interesting faot-that City Attor ney Wimberly should note in his com pilation of the new code.of Macon, and make the necessary- correction, pro vided this sagacious officer has not al ready done so.

The control of the London County Council has been taken away from the municipal ownerites. The tax payers have revolted against the the orists and have overcome them. They have put up for eighteen years with an administration which, in the name of “progress.” has steadily increased taxes and indebtedness without con ferring corresponding benefits. The last project of the “progres sives” was to spend $120,000 in a grand electrification scheme and to drive private enterprise out of the elec trical business. That wasj more than could he endured. • If the scheme -were to be put through it would mean the utter loss of individual Initiative in what is, comparatively speaking, a new field. It would mean bad service to the public through the preservation of antiquated methods. A municipality has not the courage of an individual. It does not throw obsolete machinery on the scrap heap to put in new machinery and better th" service. So tbo taxpayers vetoed the project and turned out the men who were behind it. Municipal ownership theories have been given a fair trial in the world's greatest city. They have been carried to the delightful , point of municipal billiards and dominoes. The taxpayers might have stood that, but they could not stand the reckless extravagance which prevailed in nearly every dc- irtment of local government. They could*not endure the poor bus iness methods which '"characterized very undertaking the County Council entered upon. It had no business abil ity.' It could not make its enterprises meet the cost of operation, where infl ate management would have "made ,i profit. In the attempt to show that It Was able to make both ends meet, the County Council has had to resort to curious tricks, f bookkeeping. It has tried to hide from the public Its In-.* ability to manage commercial unde, takings. In London and in other Kng-; sh cities the high standard of integ rity of municipal government has been lowered through the corrupting influ ence of municipal ownership. Munic ipal governments which used to he at hie to discharge With ability and without reproach the simpler civic duties of former days are now betraying inca pacity and are no longer trusted. It is fortunate that tiie decline of municipal ownership in England has begun before American cities had committed themselves. They have no excuse now for imitating the excesses into which English municipalities have plunged and are now beginning to re pent of; *981,875 *1.007,323 •Increare. Weekly Bank Clearing?.

He joined with ClaY and Webster against the President's order for the removal of the public deposits from the bank of the United States.
