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 'ss by constituting themselves if their own cause in vio- Th© fund for the famine sufferers was Increased yesterday and th6 hundred dollars will doubtless be in hand by Saturday night.

White, now of Ports mouth, Va.. one of tho most gallant 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 fight in book form, and so popular was it because of its exciting recital of the stirring events that 18,000 copies have been sold, and it was necessary to place an order for 50,000 more copies. Capt. White is connected with the Jamestown exposition and is one :of Ms enthusiastic promoters. Mrs. White has been appointed by the Daughters of the Confederacy of Virginia as hos tess on the important days. Both Capt. White and his wife have numbers of friends In Macon who are always glad ft> see them on their occa sional visits to the homefoiks. 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. 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. New York Money Market.

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 DR. j. J.

It was thought advisa ble to have all the churches in this way represented in this charity cause, so that if the child or its parents have any connection whatever with any particular church, it would be best for that church to deal with him through their chosen probation officer." .Tune July I B- ptember o—- Oct I N° 10.36 19.51 10.51 10.46 10.46 10.41 10.34 JO. 29 10.29 10.31 Candy.

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 The not infrequently crass The Price of Health. “The price of health in a malarious district is just 25 cents; the cost of a box of Dr. King's New Life Pliis” writes Ella Slayton, of Noland.
