The broom factory at Dawson was

manufacture of brooms last week.
The Georgia veterans’ reunion will
be held at Macon on October 23rd
and 24th, while the Elks’ fair is
progress.
m
Y., last Friday afternoon.
The dastardly crime was done at
about 4 o’clock, during an informal
reception in the temple of music, ex
position park.
The name of the assassin is Leon
- j Czolgosz, alias Fred Nieman,a black-
Oopies of this, paper may be found on smith, of Detroit, Mich., of German-
parentage. He declared Mm-
N. W., Washington, D. C. self an anarchist, and said he had
done his duty.
He approached the president as if
to greet him with a hand-shake, and
it was noticed that his right; hand
was covered with a white handker
chief. When within two feet of the
president two pistol shots were fired,
and it was soon ascertained that
both bullets struck Mr. McKinley,
ope lodging against the breast bone,
the other entering the abdomen,
slightly to the left of the navel, pass
ing through the bowels.
Directly two detectives and a ne
gro waiter named Parkei, grasped
the assassin, and in the struggle the
negro used his fists with such force
as to jbreak the nose and dislodge
several teeth of the vile wretch. But
for the quick work of the police and
other officials in taking the assassin
to police barracks, there would have
been a lynching.
The dastardly deed horrified the
world, and messages of condolence
were forwarded from all sections of
this country, and from European
cities.
President McKinley was carried
to the ^hcme of John G. Milbum,
president of the Pan-American Ex
position, where Mrs. McKinley was
at the time of the shooting,
The President himself extracted
with his fingers the bullet that
struck the breast-bone, but the oth
er could rot be located.
Vice President Roosvelt and sev
eral members of the cabinet hasten
ed to Buffalo and are there now,
Eminent surgeons are in constant
attendance.
The wound in the abdomen was
at once recognized as exceedingly
dangerous and fear of a fatal result
was entertained. Improvement has
been been steady, though slow, and
it is now believed the President will
recover.
The assassin is 28 years of age,
unmarried, fair complexion and blue
eyes, beardless, 5 feet inches in
height and weighs 150 pounds, —
As the associated press and the Mb. Editob:—Please allow space
daily papers have proclaimed to the in your most developing paper to
world, an assassin attempted to kill j say that the World Campmeetiug

tinually a large and choice stock

Evebv notable event must have an
Atlanta connection, else the Gate
City assertiveness will suffer humili
ation. Now it is claimed that the
negro waiter who broke the nose of
the assailant of President McKinley
at Buffalo is a native of Atlanta.
The anarchist who attempted to
kill President McKinley declares
that he committed the deed of his
own accord, without the advice or
assistance of anyone. However, it is
^believed there was a plot, and sever
al arrests have been made in Buffa
lo, Chicago and elsewhere.
Cotton is being destroyed by a
new disease in Alabama as well as in
many Georgia counties. In speaking
of some stalks of cotton afflicted that
grew in Terrell county, the Dawson
News says: “The stalks were dying
from the top, the roots being in
seemingly perfect condition. The
bark peels off readily, exposing the
wood, which is not only dark in ap
pearance, but has a slightly shiny
/ana greasy sensation to the touch.”-

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
‘‘Something New Under
the Sun.”
All doctors have tried to cure Catarrh
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhal
ers and drugs in paste form. Their pow
ders dry up the mucous membranes,
causing them to crack open and bleed ^
The powerful acids used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed to
cure, while the pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An old and expe
rienced practitioner who has for many
years made a close study and specialty
of the treatment of (Catarrh, has at last

A Condition, Not a Theory.
Just now it is a condition, not a
theory, that confronts the city coun
cil of Macon concerning the use of
the middle portion of Poplar street.
It is known to all who see that
city that the streets are unusually
wide, and that some of them, nota
bly Third and Mulberry, have been
converted into grass-sodded parks
between the roadways.
Recently, during the absence of
Mayor Smith, an ordinance to abol
ish the parks on Third street was in
troduced.
Instead of passing this ordinance,
one to make similar parks on Poplar
street was introduced.
For years the middle of this street
has been used by farmers visiting
the city with cotton and other pro
duce as au open wagon yard. The
warehouses in the cotton seasons al
so used this space to “turn out”their
cotton bales just before shipping.
This now is the condition, and the
business men of Poplar street are
contending against the proposed ac
tion of city council.
Of course it would be much more
aesthetic for grass parks to displace
the wagon parks on Poplar street,
but the farmers don’t want to “go to
grass” when they visit Macon, espe
cially when they can’t Use it, and
must be continually worried to“keep
off the grass.” The case as present
ed is “Beauty vs. Utility.”
With hundreds of wagons seen
daily on this street, the evidence of
much business is before the eyes of
every one, and the farmers are ac
corded a great convenience. This is
not an eye-sore to any except the
super-sensitive lover of native ver
dure. To take from the farmers this
privilege might add to the beauty of
the street, but it would seriously in
terfere with, the convenience of many
valuable customers, and many of
them might remember it to the bus
iness disadvantage of Macon..
