The first time was In 1844. at the first en campment ever held at “Camp Ogle thorpe,” In tho rear of the present shop? of the Central of Georgia Rail- wav. At this 'encampment were the Republican Blues, Phoenix Rifles, Sa vannah Volunteer Guards and Chat ham Artillery, all of Savannah, who had been especially Invited to unite With tho Macon Volunteers. Bibb Cav alry and Floyd Rifles at the encamp , ment. For three days Camp Ogle thorpe was the scene of military bril Haney and social enjoyment. Then was some fine oratory by prominent men. but the Vorktown guns of the Chatham Artillery spoke with louder nnd equally as patriotic voice. The second time these pieces were seen end heard in Macon was in 1879. at the unveiling of the handsome Con federate monument which stands within a few yards of the place where these words are being put In type. Just ns the sun reached its zenith un October 29, one of the "Washington connons fired the signal, and the drapery oround the monument fell, and the beautiful Carrara marble stood revealed to twenty thousand civilians, thousands of Confederate veterans, nnd a grand military pageant. Among the companies pres ent were the Macon Volunteers. Flovd Rifh Southern Cadets. Mitchell Light Guards. Putnam Rifles. Baldwin Blues, Columbus Guards, Southern Rifles. Savannah Volunteer Guards. Oglethorpe Light Infantry, Savannah Cadets, Republican Blues. German Volunteers, Irish Jasper Greens, Chatham Artillery, Howell’s Battery, of Sandersvllle, Quitman Guards, and the following from Florida: Fernan- dina Light Infantry, Gainesville Guards, nnd the Nassau Light Artil lery, of Femnndlna. Col. C. M. Wiley was In command of all the military. The Chatham Artillery had four pieces and Howell's Battery add the Nassau Light Artillery two each.

LIEUT. LAWRASON IS CUNT Despite the controversy between the Atlanta Journal and ex-Gov. Northern the Good Citizenship Club, of Macon, is going right on with its program. This Is the organization before which Gov. Northen recently spoke. Its membership is colored. It is conduct ing s serifs of lectures by white speakers, prominent men. Rev. J. W. Holly, pastor of the Washington Ave nue Presbyterian Church, nrerro, is the ending spirit. The symposium ' was opened by Gov. Northen a short tir«iD ago. Dr. Henry Minton, a Presbyte rian preacher of Trenton. N. J., ad dressed the club last Tuesday night In Rev. Holly's church, where all the meetings of the club are held. Tliere was an overflowing audience. The central Idea of Dr. Hinton's discourse was that the negro must cultivate self-respect, must have regard for bis own character and respect for him self. That the negro’s chief aim should be the education of t'ne heart, and that the education of the head and the education of the hand were secondary to tho education of the heart. That an educated brain with out an educated heart could be the iirce of much danger and evil. Self- ipect was tho speaker's theme. He that self-respect leads to good tlaenslilp. The next address under auspices of the cluh will be by Emory Speer. WASHINGTON. March 28.—Lieut. George Ltiwrason, of Company B. Twenty-fifth infantry, was again on the stand all of today in the Brownsville investigation before the Senate "com m'ttee on Military Affairs. Lieuten ant Lawrason told Senator Warner that he had been of the opinion that Fort Brown was attacked by citizens, but the next morning when he was shown cartridges picked up by Captain Mac- klin in the streets of the town he was sure the shooting had been done by soldiers. Later Senator Foraker asked the witness if he believed now the shooting was done by the negro sol diers., and Lieut. Lawrason replied: "I think, sir, that it should have been discovered l»y this time who did the shooting. There has been no direct evidence to fix it on these men, ana in view of the testimony here. I can not say that I think the negro troops were guilty.” In reply to questions by Senator Lodge the witness said that he heard no firing after he Joined the company on tho night of the affray, and that ho had reached the company before First Sergeant Mingo Sanders. Sen ator 'Lodge then called attention to the fact that Sanders had testified that the firing continued while the roll was being called. The witness testified at length con cerning the technical report of the microscopic examinations of shells pick ed up" in the streets of 'Brownsville, the ways in which soldiers may get extra ammunition and many other mat ters that had been gono over in detail by a number of witnesses. He may again go on the stand tomorrow. THEGREATNORTHERN STBCKISSUE UPHELD ST. PAUL, Minn.. March 28.—The State Supreme Court today upheld the Great Northern Railway Company In its contention that it had the right to issue the JGO.OOO.OOO of stock author ized by the board of directors some months ago, and which was enjoined by Attorney-General Young. who claimed that the company should first come before the State Railroad and Warehouse Commission and submit to an examinat on to show the necessity and the purpose of the issue. This contention of the State was upheld by Judge Hallam, in the Ramsey County District Court, who ordered an injunction to issue. The Supreme Court today reversed that decision The opinon of the court was unani moos. GF SELLING LIQUOR An Interesting trial in the City Court yesterday was that of Will Respess and his wife. Rose, negroes, charged with selling liquor without a license. As the result of a raid on the alleged den of the Respesses. dep uties secured six two-gallon jugs, ten quarts of tickling mixtures, and i baskets full of empty quart bottles, all of which readily gave rise to th opinion among the officers of the law that there had been going on for some t ! me past a systematical retail liquor business on lower Oglethorpe street. The goods taken from the place were produced as evidence yes terday, and when they were laid upon the table in the City Court room after Respess had declared his innocence, a ripple of laughter went around the jury and spectators in the room. “Jedge Hoges.” said Will. "I’se Ino- sunt uv dis crime. I’se er hard wurk- in’ nigger. I’se wurked fer der rail- Tud fer goin’ ahn tree yars. Der udder day wen der perlice cum arter me I’se jest in er act of goin’ ter dah rallrud ter git sum money fer ter buy er par uv shoes.

Jedge,” said Rosa, ‘‘we’n jes’ er put sum peppar en dat watah jes’ ernuf ter make dose niggerss neeze." Will was found guilty and Judge Hodges sentenced him to serve a term of ten months In the chaingang with out an alternative. The case against Rosa was nol prossed. LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL.

The jury, which, since Monday, had been trying the young girl for the poisoning" of baby Wilbur Winship, late this afternoon re turned a verdict of "Not guilty by rea son of insanity.” and Justice Miller at once ordered her committed to the asylum for the criminal. The verdict came to the 15-vear-old girl as she sat aione in the courtroom and she broke down and wept bitterly. But after she dried her tears Mrs. Herbert Winship, the mother of the baby to whom Jennie gave the poison, went to her to say goodbye. In spite of her grief over her baby’s death. Mrs. Winship eou.’d not forget the girl she had" reared and tried to cheer her. She clasped the gir! in l or arm? and kissed her and told her that she freely forgave her.

NEW YORK. NEW YORK, March 2S.—The cotton market was very quiet today with price changes narrow and irregular. The close steady, net unchanged to 4 points higher. Sales were estimated at 50,090 bales. The market opened steady at a decline of 4 points and shortly afterward showed a net loss of about 3a5 points on the active months under scattering liquida tion which may have been promoted by different cables, rumors of rains in the Southwest nnd the heavy estimate for to morrow's receipts at Houston. But pri vate wires from New Orleans reported that no rain had fallen in Texas, the stock market made a fairly good showing, the New Orleans estimate for tomorrow was lighter and the market steadied up dur ing the morning session on covering and a little buying for a turn in anticipation of greater activity on the part of bull leaders after the holidays were over. The close was within a point or two of the best. Southern spjt markets were generally unchanged and exports for the day were heavy. The vote on the prop osition to eliminate three additional grades from the New York con tract resulted in the elimination of strict low middling stained, to take effect on the first of April. 1908. All three of the big cotton markets will be closed Friday and Saturday. Liverpool will remain closed until Tuesday morning, but the American markets will open for business on Monday. Receipts of cotton at the ports today were 21.569 bales against 21.619 bales last week and 13.255 b Ves last 'year.

March 2S.—There was rather desultory eoigest waged between the opposing elements in the speculation for a small part of the stock exchan^ session today. When it was demonstrated that neither side was making any decided advantage, the professional element which has bean carrying on the contest prac tically abandoned it. After that the market fell into a period of dullness such as has not been seen . for many weeks. The quietness v.'.as accepted as grate ful relief from the r recent'tiirmoll of the market. The professional testing opera tlons seemed to be largely on the short side of the market., The resistance which these efforts encountered was attributed to the activ,ities of t'ne party of bankers and capitalists said to have been organ ized for the purpose of supporting the market and supposed to he responsible for the rally in Tuesday's market. When the market was seen to have re gained some degree of equilibrium, many brokers left the city to be gone until Monday to enjoy wliat they regard as a much needed rest. Active operations were in progress at tho sub-treasury today in the working of the Treasury's relief measures for the money market.

The showing of the English Bank, therefore, and in Fss degree of tho French bank were regarded as reflecting tho results of the past pressure with a prom ise of amelioration for the future. Reports of a deadlock between officials and operatives of Western railroads, which threatened a strike, had a distress ing effect on the market and helped to the heavy tone of the later trading. The marking up of prices at the end of tin day was on a small volume af trans.aC' tlons. The market closed, however, fair- steady. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $1,918:000.

"WASHINGTON, March “The moment has not yet arrived -when America and Mexico can intervene to stop the spread of war in Central America.” This was the decision arriv ed at as the result of a conference be tween Secretary Root and Ambassador Creel at the State Department today. The Secretary also had the benefit of the advices received by the diplo- icaniatic representatives of Central America States from their own gov ernment. The absence of definite in formation from the seat of trouble is embarrassing to the officials who are desirous of bringing about peace. The State Department received a dis patch today from United States Min ister Merry at San Jose Costa Rica, announcing that it is reported there that Amapala, Honduras, is being bom barded. Amapala is the chief Hon duran port on the Pacific side and Pres ident Bonilla, of Honduras, is reported to have fled to that port which was formerly one of his strongholds.

NEWS OF ANOTHER DEFEAT OF HONDURAN TROOPS NEW ORLEANS La., March 28.— News of another defeat of Honduran troops was brought here today" by the steamer Joseph Vaccaro from Ceiba. Honduras. Fifteen hundred Hondu rans attempted on March 22. to recap ture the port of Trujillo from the Nic araguans. Tho Nicaraguan forces of occupation proved to be com posed of about 25 per cent for eigners. including a few Americans. This force was equipped with rapid fire field pieces, which drove off the at tacking parties after two days of desul tory fighting. Losses of life were re ported to be small. When the Vaccaro 'eft Ceiba. Tugueigaipa bad already been captured by Nicaraguan troojy.,' but this fact was not known at Ceio.-t and the Honduran gunboat TaTumbla was hurrying men into the port, carrv- ing out President 'Bonilla’s scheme of coast defense.

March 28.—The forts of the Government to suppress the revolt of the peasants have met with only partial success. The troop* are now acting with increased enotgy and are employing artillery with dead ly effect. A large number of rioter? have been killed In the numerous con- with the soldiery, but as yet there is no ■'iign of permanent amelio ration of conditions. On the contrary, the rioters appear to be becoming bolder and more determined and 10- day the situation undoubtedly is ag gravated. an indication of the apprehen sion existing even in the capital, tha new perfect of Bucharest, as a meas ure of precaution ordered all shop." in the cl tv closed. This order created the impression that the rioters were approaching Bucharest and there was wild panic until it was learned that these fears were groundless. At Vlascahka, a band of peasants called upon to disperse refused to do so, and opened fire upon the troops, whereupon the latter fired three shots at them from a field s gun. killing seventy tien and wounding many more. According to an unconfirmed report of the encounter, 200 of the peasants were killed. A squadron of hussars sent to Rra- bova came in conflict with a band of peasants and it is reported that fifty of the latter were killed. There is a slight improvement in the situation at Jassy. The streets of the city arc empty and the shops still shut. The peasants there apparently are overawe^, by the concentration of troops. The bombardment of tho three villages in the Vlaschka district, in which rioters had taken refuge, un doubtedly resulted in a very large cas ualty list, but the exact numbers can not be learned. It is known, however, that several hundred peasants were arrested. There have been sanguinary encounters in the district of Dolj and rumor places the number of killed nnd wounded in encounters with the troops at several hundred. The au thorities are beginning to use artil lery to bombard the villages where tho rioters take refuge. The peasants committed terrible atrocities in the Buzee district and the troops sent thither had orders to suppress the disturbances at any cost.

March 28.—Andrew Car negie made a vigorous attack upon certain Wall street methods in a speech ^at a dinner given in his honor by the United M..itarv Telegraph Corps at the Hotel Manhattan tonight. Mr. Carnegie de clared that he had never made a' dollar gambling In stocks, and added that it was time that business men declined to recog nize men who make money In Wall street and render no value for it. "A few gamblers in Wall street are in trouble.” said Mr. Carnegie. “If a man has sold .stocks short and they go down he Is delighted. But if they go tho other way. and he hasn’t the stocks todeliver, he thinks the President lias gone a trifle too far. It is .a good thing for the coun try that the gamblers have orm'e to grief. I wish I could invent a system or a d!an whereby both sides of the sKck gamb lers would come to grief. “As a business man. I can say I never made a dolar gambling in stocks and 1 would as soon sit down to gamble with cards. The speculator." are parasites feed ing upon values and creating none. "We have had five years of wonderful prosperity Today, instead of charging $460,000,000 for the Carnegie f-teel Com- nanj*. I would charge $610,000,000 for it.
