A prinsoner being brought to Macon from Savannah enjoyed a few hours of freedom early yesterday morning, but he was sorry. Detective Amerson was sent by the city to Savannah on a mission, and while there picked up a young white man named T. W. Westbrook, who was wanted in Macon for jumping a three hundred dollar bond. Westbrook was under bond to await trial on fhe charge of assault and in citing to riot during the street railway strike last year, the offence being com mitted in South Macon outside the city. His bond was forfeited in the City Court two or three months ago, and he was wanted by his bondsman. Mr. B. T. Thomas, who paid the amount of the bond. Detective Amerson left Savannah with his prisoner on Wednesday night, and as Westbrook was as badly crip pled with rheumatism as himself, the detective di not think it necessary to handcuff him. In the early morning of yesterday the detective found that his man had left the train at Gordon. As soon as the train arrived in Macon, the officer woke up Detective Jenkins, and together they started out for Gordon. Arriving at that place. Detective Amerson. who is just recovering from a siege of sick ness, was unable to go further, and Detective Jenkin3 picking up Mr. Jeff Amerson thought they would find their man at Griswoldville. At Lewiston, about four miles from Griswoldville, they found their man and brought him on to Macon. In the afternoon his case was called in the' City Court, where he entered a piea of guilty and was fined $50 on each of fhe charges. Eighteen or twenty hostlers employ ed by the Central of Georgia Railroad in Macon, discarded their overalls and alighting from their engines walked out of-ffhe local yards early yesterday morning. It is understood that the men made demands for a 35 per cent increase of wages, and the allowance of a period of one hour for their dinner, which was refused by the company, and the strike followed yesterday morning. The hostlers are now receiving $2.09 per day and want a raise to $2.75 per day, claiming that the raise is Justifiable in that they have been given additional work. The strike is not confined to Macon alone, but includes 200 or more hos tlers employed by the Central at vari ous points along its lines. As a result of the strike, traffic in the local yards was congested yester day, and it is said things had gotten in somewhat of a muddled condition by night time. The yard master refused to make any statement concerning the strike last night, 'but it is thought that an amicable settlement may be reached early today. STRIKE SlPiTHIZE# WAS HEAVILY FINED WESTBROOK ASSAULTED NEW STREET CAR EMPLOYES LAST NOVEMBER. As the results for his alleged violent actions during the street car strike last November. T. W. Westbrook, a machin ist. was yesterday found guilty in the City Court on two charges of assault and battery, and Judge Robert Hodges imposed a fine of $50 with a six months alterative in each of the cases. The trial developed the fact that Westbrook, who was a "strike sympa thizer” assaulted J. C. Stanley and W. E. Bryant, two of the street ear com pany’s new employes, while the latter were engaged discharging their duties as conductor and motorman on a cer tain car October 2. Out at Wesleyan With the “Girls’ J The young ladies of the expression and music department of Wesleyan gave a fine entertainment to their friends last evening which was fully enjoyed and which proved to be a great hit with the large audience which at tended. The young ladies showed the benefit of careful and painstaking care by the Instructors and they are to be warmly congratulated on the fine re cital which was given at Wesleyan chapel last evening. Miss Jessie Wheeler is the teacher of elocution and has given a number of recitals this spring, at which her pupils have shown the benefit of an artistic and careful instructor. The music rendered on this occasion was a treat to music lov ers and it is to be hoped that the young ladies will give a number of such recitals this spring.

Williams said he knew no reasons why he should be shot by Chancey, and it is probable that the alleged murderer was drunk when he committed the act.

Work of Arrangement Charge of Mrs. Weir.Prin- . cipal South Macon School. in Automobile of Future. From Harper’s Weekly. When a man takes hold of the knob of his office door he knows thaL year in and year out, the knob will perform its proper function. When the house wife sits down to her sewing machine :ihe knows that hardly once in a thous and times will it fail to do its work, and do it well. Unreliable, is an indict ment to whiph our cars must often plead guilty. In America we have done lot of foolish things in motor car building, but we are approaching saner methods and more correct lines. The car of the future, either for business or pleasure, has not yet been laid down. He would be a bold, perhaps a rash prophet, who would undertake any de tailed description of this car. Never theless. reasoning a priori, there are some features we may prognosticate. In the first place, it will be 'built of better steel than we have been accus tomed to use. In the next place, the cars will become standardized, and when standardized they will be built by machinery in enormous quantities at an exceedingly low cost. The wheels will be large, built of wood and of the art'Hery type. Hard rubber or some enduring substance will take the place of the present high priced unsatisfac tory pneumatic tires. The car will be light, simple, strong, and easily kept in repair. Mr. Edison once said the auto mobile will never be wholly practical until it is fool proof and the ordinary repairs can be made on the highway by a darky with a monkey wrench. The present high gears will be supplanted by a variable speed device. There are not wanting good judges who believe that the problem will be solved by a system of hydraulic transmission. The fuel of the future will be kerosene or grain alcohol. Thirty-five per cent of the population of America are farmers. The farmer will be .the chief automo bile owner and user. The maximum speed of his car may be only twenty miles per hour, but that is twice as fast as his present mode of travel. The car will be an invaluable adjunct to his work on the farm. The adjustment of belt, the turn of a crank, and the au tomobile engine furnishes power to thresh his grain, cut his wood, chop his feed and pump his water. After being in constant use all the day. the car *s ready to take the entire family to the social gathering in the village at night, or to church services on Sun day morning. The farmer will use the automobile as will the butcher, the baker and the storekeeper—where he can in no other way, get . the same amount of work done at so low a cost: and when the business man can de liver his goods more quickly and more economically than ho can 'by using the horse he will do so. There will always be motor cars de luxe for the rich, but they will be merely the fringe of the garment of a great industry. The countless millions of tons of freight now slowly and pain fully drawn over the country roads and through city streets by poor dumb brutes will go spinning along, the mo tors of the heavily iaden trucks hum ming a tune of rich eontept, and all the thousand tongues of commerce will sing the praises of the motor car. Let me suggest a few practical things that the tireless horse of the future 11 accomplish. 1. It will solve the problem of the over-congestion of traffic in our city streets. 2. It will free the horse from his burdens. A few years ago. in the city of New Orleans, an old darky came in from the country and for the first time saw the electric street car. which had taken the place of the mu?-?-drawn car. The old darby threw up his hands and. looking up to heaven, said: "Bress d? Lord, de white man freed de nig ger. now he done freed de mule.” 3. The automobile will furn'sh relief to thh tenement house districts. 4. It will stimulate the good roads movement throughout the United States. 5. It will save time and space and become invaluable to the physician, to the fireman, and to many classes of cit izens. 6. It will tend to break down class dlsinction. because one touch of auto- mobilism makes the whole world kin. The Georgia visitors to the James town Exposition, as well as all others, will find much to interest them in the exhibit of the work of the Macon pub lic schools. This exhibit will be arranged by Mrs. M. S. Wier. principal of the South Ma con school, and that it will be artisti cally and attractively arranged goes without saying. The exhibit will consist of booklets and specimens of work from the man ual training department. The book let:, however, will probably prove of more interest .than the handiwork for the reason that they will combine the artistic with the historic, and are the products of the young mind under training.
