Km(ui tied to his office from a visit to his

A verdict for $500 in favor of the
plaintiff was returned by tho Jury in
the case of A. H. Davis against the
Macon Railway and Light Company,
suit for $5,000 damages in the Supe
rior Court yesterday.
The plaintiff. It is alleged In tho pe
tition filed some weeks ago. has been
adjudged a lunatic, and the suit was
1 rought by his next best friend, R. E.
Iiavia. It was claimed that Davis was
struck and seriously injured by a car

B company’s employes In not giving
warning of the approach of the car.
The petition further alleged that the
petitioner was knocked fifteen feet by
the collision.

CARNEGIE ON RESULTS
PEACE CONFERENCE
ft NEW YORK, April 17.—Mr. Andrew
: Carnegie, who is president of the
peace congress, gave out a statement
ns to the results of the oongness just
closed. Although not so designated by
Mr. Carnegie, the statement consti
tutes a reply to some of the suggest
ions contained In the letter which
President Roosevelt addressed to the
congress on its opening day.
Mr> Carnegie quotes these /tate-
nents as "Objections" and proceeds
to answer them as follows:
! "Our peace conference has brought
three objections clearly before us.
"First, nations cannot submit all
questions to arbitration.
“Answer. Six of them have adready
done so by treaty—Denmark and the
Netherlands. Chile and Argentine.
Norway and Sweden.
Second—Justice ns higher than
peace.
Answer. The first privilege of nat
ural justice forbids men to be judges
when they are parties to the issue.
All law rests upon this throughout the
civilized world. Were a judge known
to sit upon a ense in which he was se
cretly Interested he would be expelled
from his high office. If any Individual
refused to submit his dispute with a
neighbor to disinterested parties (ar
bitrators or judges) and insisted upop
i|ng his own judge he would violate
first principles of justice. Tf he
orted to force in defense of bis
Tcbt to Jr, lee he would be dishonored
brer her of the law. Thus peace
with jnsti-o is secured through arbi
tral ion. eith r by court or by the tri
buns'. never by oncof the parties sit
ting as judge in his own cau$e.
ltd is neother neaee nor just-
ut righteousness that shall exalt
s'ver. Righteousness is simply
what Is right. What Is just is
? right; what is unjust is always
It being the first principles "of j
? that men shal not be Judges in
iwn cause to refuse to submit to ;
or arbitrator is unjust, hence !
right for the essence of right- I
'ss is justice. Therefore men who
justice or righteousness above
ns it appears, that they will
it injustice and discard right- I

Th© fund for the famine sufferers was
Increased yesterday and th6 hundred

amount will be forwarded as soon as
possible. Following contributions were

officers of tho Confederate navy, and
who was the junior engineer oh the
Merrimac on the occasion of the great
fight dn Hampton Roads with the U.
S. Monitor, is visiting in Macon. It
was this gallant captain who married
Mi?s Annie Massenburg, of Macon.
In the fight between the two moni
tors, in 1S62. an engagement that was
the talk of -the naval world. Capt. White
played a conspicuous part. Not long
ago, yielding to the importunings of
friends, he gave his recoliecelons of the

NEW YORK.
NEW YORK. April IS.—The cotton
market wa= steadier today and recovered
part of yesterday’s loss, last prices being
at a net advance of 4a6 points. Sales
for the day were estimated at -150.000
bales.
The opening was steady at a declino
of 1 point on one month, but genera!^
3n4 points higher in response to higher
cables than expected, reports that the
rains in the Southwest had been too
light in many sections to greatly benefit
the crop, and the continued good spot
demand in the English market. Receipts
for the day underran exnectations owing
to small arrivals at Galveston and fol
lowing the light estimate for tomorrow's
receipts at Houston, the market worked
up to a net advance of 6aS points on the
active months.
Trading was quiet at the advance,
which was the direct result of covering
and a little scattering demand for long
account and later fluctuations were com
paratively narrow and irregular with the
market sustained toward the close by the
large spot business reported at New Or
leans. Export” for the day were .about
18.000 bales in excess of the port re
ceipts. and are now 75.000 bales heavier
so for far the season than during the big
crop year which furnished the previous
high record. Southern spot markets were
unchanged to He. higher. Some light
rains were reported bv the weather bu
reau. chiefly in the Eastern sections of
the belt.
Receipts of cotton at the ports today
wore 12,192 bales against 17.072 bales last
week and 12.801 bales last year. For the
week (estimated) 75.000 bales against
103.094 bales last week and 97,655 hales
last year.
Today's receipts at New Orleans were
2.G3C bales against 3.C74 bales last year,
and at Houston 3.703 bales against 3,495
bales last year.

STOCK MARKET WAS
IN SOMNOLENT STATE
NEW YORK. April Is.—Facetious brok
ers cautioned each other to step softly
today lest they wake up the stock ma:6tn
from its somnolent condition. A glance
at the aggregate of the day's sales help
to explain the pleasantry. Analysis of
price movements will show that only a
handful of stocks moved at any time as
much as a full point away from last
night's closing level.
The movement, sluggish as it was. was
conspicuous also for its irregularity. The
narrow vibration varied constantly above
and below last night s closing level. The
consequence was a market such as
rarely witnessed except in the days of
mid-summer's oppressive heat. It has
been evident for some days past that the
diminishing transactions at the stool.'
exchange was largely in the hands of
professional traders." so that the exfly
profit that could be secured must be at
the cpst of each other. This condition
has a natural effect of discouraging
efforts In a field so circumscribed. The
presence of the Secretary of the Treasury
in the city gave rise to some surmises
of a possible discontinuance of deposits
of current customs receipts with tho
banks. This forms the principal source
of the accretion of bank cash now in
progress. The withdrawal of loans made
by interior banks here was in progress
on account of the unattractive level to
which interest have fallen, will affect the
loan item of the local banks, which are
called upon to take over these loans.
The change resulting is nominal rather
than real, as the loans of interior banks
■which are being recalled were made out
of deposits with the New York banks.
These credits, therefore, were based on
the New York cash reserves as much as
they will be when taken over by the New
York banks themselves. With the loans
figuring in the statement of the New
Tork banks themselves, tho reserve
showing will, however, be affected.
A renewed decline in Standard Oil in
the curb markets was a feature of tile
day. Tho market closed with an upswing
of. prices in progress, which left prices
finally above last night's closing level.
Ronds were irregular. Total sales, par
value.- $1,094,000. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.
The total sales of stocks today were
314,200 shares.

DUBLIN, Ga., April 18.—-The people
of Laurens County have gone to work
preparing a program for the celebra
tion of Laurens’ one hundredth anni-
: versary which comes in December. It
I is not yet known what form the cele
bration will take. A committee from
the Dublin Board of Trade, the city
Council and the Commissioners of
I Roads and Revenues, together with
three ladles and three gentlemen from
each of the militia districts in theooun-
I ty will have charge of the program.
The joint committee was organized by
tho election of Mr. James M. Finn,
cashier of the Dublin Banking Com
pany. as president and Chairman E. R.
Orr of the Board of Commise'oners of
Roads and Revenues as secretary. It
has been suggested that the celebra
tion take the form of a county fair.
This matter will be settled by the Joint
committee. If the county fair idea is
not adopted, the city and county will
furnish the money for the celebration.
In any event the celebration will be in
the nature of a home coming of ail
former Laurens County citizens and
descendants of all former citizens of
this county. A special invitation will
be extended to the descendants of all
those who had a part in the format'on
of the county and to th© relatives of
Col. John Laurens, of South Carolina,
for whom the county was named.
Laurens was not much more than a
wilderness one hundred years ago. By
the census of 1890 Laurens was the
fifty-fourth county in population and
according to the census of 1900 was
the fourteenth county in population. It
Is believed that this county will rank
as one of the six biggest counties in
population in Georgia after the census
of 1916.
Laurens originally extended from the
Oconee to the Ocmulgee rivors. The
county site was located at a place call
ed Sumterville, no trace of which re
mains. Two years later Pulaski was
given half of Laurens' territory and
part of Washington was added to take
the place of the territory g’ven to Pu
laski. Dublin was then named as the
county site. This name was chosen
In honor of the wife oL-David McCor
mack, who was one of the original set
tlers. Mrs. McCormack was from Ire
land. but McCormack was a. Scotchmen.
Not since 1S09 has the county lines
of Laurens been Changed except in a
few minor particulars. When Dodge
and Johnson were formed it was sought
to take some or Laurens’ territory,
but the member of the Legislature from
Laurens at the time, although he was
a negro. Rev. George Linder, prevented
the count}’ from being cut. When the
eight new counties were formed two
years ago part of Laurens’ territory
was desired by these who wanted new
counties .established, but the effort
fai’ed.
The people of Laurens have much to
feel proud of'and the celebration will
be in keeping with the importance of
the county.

CHAS. J. PERSHEL. WELL-KNOWN
CRIMINALeLAWYER, DEAD
JERSEY CITY. N. J , April 18—Charles
J. Peshel. known as tile defender of per
sons sentended to death, died today. Mr.
Peshel was formerly - a district attorney
in Arkansas. He came to Jersey City
15 years ago and soon after attracted at
tention by his persistent efforts to save
a negro wife murderer from gallows by
annealing from one court to another.
He made similar efforts for Edward Clif
ford. Bernard Allberger. Paul Oenz. John
Macklin and other murderers, nil of whom
were hanged in the Hudson Countv jail
and for Antoinette Tolla. or Hackensack,
whose death sentence was commuted. His
method was to apneal on the ground of
an illegal trial nnd to appeal from the
refusal to grant an appeal. His theory
was that in this way a condemned man’s
life could be prolonged indefinitely. He
was about 60 years old. '
It sounds almost kke a fish story
to say that three-negroes stole a box
car loaded with merchandise, but such
is the fact, as one of the three con
fessed yesterday.
On the night for March 13th a car
loaded with freight was stolen out of
the Central Railroad yards. The
checking clerks and car accountants-
were busy for days trying to find it,
but there was not even a trace.
Later on it was discovered that in
some way the missing car was carried
as an empty to the Royster Guano- "Co.
factory in East Macon, and the matter
was finally explained. The three ne
groes, George Mathews, Strauss Ellis
and Willis Thornton, belonged to a
switching crew in the card. The guano
people wanted three empty cars, and
in the moving of the cars the negroes
managed to “set" a full car between
two empties on the night of the 12th.
For some reason the three cars were
not sent to the factory until the next
niglit, and they were followed by the
negroes, so the detectives. Officers
Atnerson and Bunch report. Over the
river and out of the way of Chances to
be seen, the car was broken open and
the goods taken out. These goods con
sisted of a general stock of merchan
dise, being everything that is usually
sold in a country store, from clothing
to razors.
When the robbery was reported the
officers went to work, but their prog
ress was slow as the haul was com
plete and well covered up. It requir
ed a long time to get a description of 1
the clothing, this being the only arti
cles that could be very well identified.
When this was obtained, however, there
was a patient search among a thous
and or more negroes for "suits of clothes
of a 'particular pattern.
At last the officers found a negro
named Mathews who wore a suit cor
responding with the description. He
s J at first that he bought the clothes
from a Macon firm, but being ques
tioned as the detectives know how to
question, he owned up to the entire
transaction, saying he must tell the
truth and that he was then wearing a
suit taken out of the car.
■Connecting the others, all were ar
rested and locked up.
The goods taken from the car were
disposed of, and since that re'ght these
negroes have been living without much
v/ork. just enough to keep from being
arrested under the vagrant law acL

'STUART DAVIS’ PEACH
CROP COMPLETE LOSS
Tho trustees of the Georgia Academy
for the Blind held a meeting yesterday
to consider matters concerning the com
pletion of the building and other affairs
of the institution. The academy has not
been formally opened, as it is in an un
completed condition, although it Is in full
operation with nearly 60 pupils enrolled.
The trustees decided to have the Gov
ernor and members of the Legislature
visit the institution just before the Legis
lature convenes, in order that they may
see just what is being done for the unfor
tunate children of the State and especially
what is needed to make the Academy a
refuge for the blind. Invitations will be
forwarded to the Governor and mem
bers of the Legislature to visit Macon
and. tho Academy.
The trustees, after the meeting, visited
the Academy and met Contractor McKen
zie. of Augusta, Supt. Holly, of the con.
trading company, and Supervisor Blair)
The party inspected the buildings, and
after suggesting a feu- minor changes,
came back to town. They felt greatly
pleased with the present conditions and
believe that the two new wings will b«
completed by the latter part of next
month.
Tite trustees decided to have fences
erected in the rear and along the two
sides of the building at once. The material
to be used along the front of the buildings
is to be decided upon at a later date. •
For several days Misses Mary Rros-
nam, Gertrude and Annie Mock, of Al
bany. have been visiting the schools
of the city.
These young ladies are teachers in
the Albany schools. They were sent
to Macon by Supt. DeJarnette, of the
public schools of that city, to make
a thorough inspection of the public
schools in Macon, especially the high
school and the grammar schools, as
well as the manual training x depart
ment.
They were not only given a wel
come by Prof. Chapman, but given full
permission and every facility for see
ing and studying Ihe operation of Ma
con's admirable system.
The young ladies express them
selves as being highly gratified at
what they have seen, and will return
home with full notebooks. They have
gathered many ideas of benefit and
will put them to good use at home.
They will be in Macon until tomor
row.

of Year for Cyclonic
turbances.
The Louisville Courier-Journal has
been through one or more serious cy-
lonic disturabnees and has had cause
to make some investigations as to their
causes, periodicity, etc. Macon has
never been effected except by the spent
edges or fag ends of these storms that
have wrought so much destruction in
its vicinity, but the following from the
Courier-Journal with reference to the
subject will be interesting:
The cyclonic disturbances have be
gun to manifest themselves somewhat
earlier in the season than usual, and
show other rather abnormal features.
The theory respecting them is that
they are the result of the air which
conies down from high nortern regions
along the western base of the Rocky
Mountains, becoming heated on the hot
plains of Southern Texas and Mexico,
and thence returning in a northeastern •
direction with a spiral motion. The first
cyclonic disturbance for this season,
however, which occurred last week,
showed a decided variation from the
rule. It haled from Texas, but. instead
of taking a northeasterly course, trav
eled due east through the greater part
of Louisiana, and thence crossing the
State of Mississippi, spending itself in
Alabama, accompanied with a heavy-
destruction of property .and the loss of
number of lives. On Sunday last
there were Very heavy winds from the
southwest, which traversed Kentucky,
and at various points exhibited cyclonic
symptoms in the unroofing cf houses
and destruction of trees and fences.
Fortunately the manifestation was not
attended with loss of life. A3 yet
there has been no repc-t of any Cy
clones in Texas pointed this way. such
phenomena being rare. But the season
is at hand when they may he expected,
to make their appearance in Texas and
traverse by leans and bounds parts of
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory, ex
hausting themselves in the regions
