After all, the weather yesterday
might have been to Macon's liking, and
the postponement of the game means
that it will never be played.
Is Macon getting anxious about that
bit of bunting that all are on the hus
tle for now? With a lead of nearly 100
points, with only thirty-five games to
play, or rather thirty-four, it looks as
if the apparent gilt edge pluck of the
leaders was but a bit of yellow trim
ming, with a streak of the same color
up the back. They have quit. They are
in the rut, and when other teams saw
them refuse to play off the postponed
game with Jacksonville they were mad.
There was but one construction: Macon
wants to play as few games as possi
ble from now on.
Under the rule governing postponed
games the home manager can refuse
to play them off under any circum
stances. It rained at Macon Friday,
preventing the game, and as it was
Jacksonville's last trip to Macon every
one looked for a double header on Sat
urday, but none was played. There Is
no chance now’ for Macon to play that
jrsme to count in the championship
season, and there are many who look
on it as an exhibition of temerity on
the part of the management when
there should be'none.
Siivanuuli Will Play All Postponed
Gamas.
Savannah only has one postponed
game in Macon. This is the one car
ried over yesterday on account of rain.
It is believed now t'hat there is little
chance to have this game played off.
The fewer games Macon plays the
better chance the team has to stand
where it is now in the percentage col
umn. and with the present percentage
the team is certain to win the pen
nant.
Macon has two postponed games in
Savannah. These will be played off
In two double-headers during the next
series here. Jacksonville has three
postponed games here, and these will
be played off here, three double-head
ers in succession.
The prospects that were so roseate
for Macon to land in first place two
weeks ago have assumed.another tinge
and ceruelan blues hang over the
Highland camp, a natural chromatic
result of combining green and yellow.
Either Charleston. Jacksonville or Sa
vannah can beat the leaders out for
the pennant. It not only looks possi
ble now. but looks probable. Every
team that has played Macon In the
last 'two weeks has taken two out of
three, and in one instance four
straights. The leaders (have one more
series with Augusta, and may take
three from the tall-enders. hut with
this exception they wtll strike many
snags in trying to pull more of those
one-run victories from the strong,
hard-fighting teams that now compose
the league.
Weak In the Box.
Macon is weak in the box. at present.
Bayne has been worked until he has lost
his old time effectiveness, and has been
beaten successively of Mate. Whipple
has also gone back, being hit harder
than any other pitcher in the league
In the last few games he has pitched.
Matthews is having all the luck now,
and Segars will not.be able to do much
more for the rest of the season. With
pitching staffs to go up against like
Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville and
even Columbia have assembled, with
the greatly added strength in all posi
tions In the field the leaders will have
no more of the easy victories that were
theirs. In the early days of the South
Atlantic.
UNJUST CRITICISM OF
PRESIDENT BOYER.
Jacksonville Paper Still Hammering
at Lenane President.
The Florida Timea-Union printed the
following eroticism of President Boyer
yesterday;
Boyer did not show’ much respect
for Jacksonville fans yesterday. A
game here on Sunday, with an attend
ance of 2,000, and not an umpire on
the field. That demonstrates how
muoh respect Boyer has for the pa
trons of the game.
Had the writer taken the trouble to
Inquire of the management of the
Jacksonville team he would have un
derstood why there was no official um
pire at Jacksonville. The game play
ed between Jacksonville and Charles
ton was not scheduled, and in order
to get an umpire there the league
•would have been put to the extra ex
pense of transporting him there for
•that day alone. When the manage
ment of the two teams asked for per
mission to play the game at Jackson
vllle Sunday the matter of an umpire
■was brought up President Boyer said
they could use anyone that they

Daring the Gnme.
Charleston, S. C., Aug. B.—Getting
back into their old form. Charleston
defeated Jacksonville here to-day by
a score of 4 to 1. Strange to say the
rain did not fall as usual, and the nine
innings were played out. Harry Mace
had charge of the indicator, and
though he was forced at one time to
put out a handful of fines, had little
trouble in keeping the players straight.
For Charleston the crowd was small
on account of the threatening weather.

the South Atlantic League calls for
their services at all scheduled games
and they can refuse to officiate at any
other time, and In such a case as last

BODY OF~ IONDf’oUND
FLOATING IN CISTERN.
lvlnd'* Clerk He* Disappeared and
In Wanted.
Charleston, S. C.. Aug. B.—The mu
tilated body of Jacob Kind, white, was
found in a cistern in the rear of a
small shop, 472 King street,at 1 o'clock
this afternoon, having evidently been
in the water several days.
Kind was formerly a locomotive firej
man, but on account of an accident
was Incapacitated for such service, and
had for some time past conducted a
small shop, where, it is understood,
liquor was sold in connection with ci
gars and soft drinks.
Kind was a single man, and while a
few of his customers had noticed his
absence, the clerk who kept the place
open until yesterday said that the boss
had gone to Greenwood. To-day Ed
ward Kennedy, the clerk, disappeared
and his whereabouts is not known.
Kind is understood to have received
some money from the Southern Rail
way on account of his accident, and
no doubt had a part of this about him.
The body was hacked up about the
neck, evidently with a knife or razor,
but had been long ,in the water, and
this may have obliterated other marks.
It was said that tl^e^clerk, who was
a young man, has been seen with
Kind's watch, and was changing mon
ey in an illicit liquor store not far
away Saturday night.
The Inquest will bo held to-morrow.
THE NEWS OF WAYCROSS.
Waycross, Ga., Aug. B.—A special col
lection at the Bautist Church yester
day for the Georgia Industrial Home
at Macon amounted to $40.50. It is
stated that about S2OO has been sent
from Waycross to the home since Rev.
Mr. Mumford’s illness.
The armory of the Waycross Rifles Is
being reduced in size and will be fit
ted up as law offices.
The little son of Mr. and Mrs. Rich
ard L. Singleton, who died Saturday at
Conway, S. C., was buried at Conway
yesterday.
John Hokins, a negro, w’as arrested
yesterday for breaking into a freight
car of the Atlantic and Birmingham
Railroad. Several robberies have oc
curred In the Atlantic and Birmingham
yard recently, and It is believed that
Hopkins committed the other thefts.
Several of the stolen articles were
traced to a storekeeper here, who
claims to have bought them from the
negro.
P. J. Pate and Miss Addie Tuten
were married Sunday at the home of
the bride In Pierce county. The cere
mony was performed by Judge J.- W.
Hlghsmith. Mr. Pate is a resident of
Waycross and will make his home
here. *
—Automobile makers are beginning
to worry already over a possible sub
stitute for rubber for tires. It Is,
claimed that the demand for this ma 4
terml has rapidly increased the last
few years, the importations into the
United Sta' >s alone the last year be
ing $9,000,000 over those of 1903. This
means, it is said, that rubber trees are
being overtaxed and that there is dan
ger of their dying out. The consump
tion of rubber for vehicle tires is phe
nomenal In its magnitude.

COMPANIES FULL
TO OVERFLOWING
INSPIRATION OF MANASSAS.
PARADE ON THURSDAY’ DISCUSSED
BY’ OFFICERS AFTER DRILLS.
Soldiers Will Form Escort of Honor
to Y'isitlng Minor, from De Soto
to Site of New City Hall—Order in
Which I‘urnde Will Be Formed.
MaJ. Coney Notified of Appoint
ment n* Pont Contmf**ary—Circu
lar Issued from Headquarters
Second Provisional Regiment.
Under the stimulus of the prospect
of a trip to Manassas the local mili
tary companies turned out in force
last night. A part of the drill was
in the rain. Every company ,had its
full quota, and nearly all had more
men than can be taken.
There will be room only for forty
seven men and three officers for each
company. At the drill last night one
company had as high as seventy-three
men.
Asa result of the large number of
men taking part in the drills it will
be necessary to select the requisite
number from each company.' This in
turn has inspired each soldier to do
his best in order that he may not be
left out.
Drills last night were in extended
order. Two nights each week will be
given to the drills until the maneuvers.
Each Friday night there will be schools
of instruction for the battalion of
ficers.
On each drill night for the remaind
er of the time there will be battalion
evolutions, tent work, practice in
marching with a blanket roll, haver
sack and canteen. Advance and rear
guard formation will also be dwelt
on. #
Parade Discussed.
At the meeting of staff and com

SORESiHsULCERS
SHOW A BAD CONDITION OF THE BLOOD pjK^s
When the blood is in bad condition a bruise, cut, IL>\ Vt
scratch, or any slight injury to the flesh, is apt to become y*3
an ugly-looking sore or ulcer. Sometimes a boil, blister
or pimple is the beginning of a large eating ulcer or open, JlyßggL
discharging sore. Often the blood is naturally bad, and
is that way from birth, and such people suffer with vari
ous kinds of sores from infancy through old age. The
blood may become so weak

ROOSEVELT WOULDN’T INTERFERE
WITH NEGRO BRUTE’S PUNISHMENT
Says That Lynching Is Equally as Infamous as
the Crime for Which It Is,Most Often Practiced.
Washington, Aug. B.—President
Roosevelt has declined to interfere in
the case of John W. Burley, a negro
confined in the jail of the District of
Columbia under sentence of death for
the crime of criminal assault, the vic
tim having been a little girl four and
a half years old. President Roosevelt
made the following statement:
"White House, Washington, Aug. 8,
1904.
“The application for the commuta
tion of sentence of John W. Burley
Is denied. This man committed the
most hideous crime known to our laws,
and twice before he committed crimes
of a similar, though less horrible,
character. In my judgment there Is
no justification whatever for paying
heed to the allegations that he is not
of sound mind, allegations made after
the trial and conviction. Nobody would
pretend that there has ever been any
such degree of mental unsoundness as
would make people even consider send
ing him to an asylum if he had not
committed this crime. Under such cir
cumstances, he should certainly be es
teemed sane enough to suffer the pen
alty for his monstrous deed.
"I have scant sympathy with t'he
plea of Insanity advanced to save a
man from the consequences of crime,
when, unless that crime had been com
mitted, it would have been impossible
to persuade any responsible authority
JORDAN GETS OUT
OF R.R. COMMISSION
J. M. BROWN SUCCEEDS HIM.
JORDAN'S RESIGNATION KEPT SE.
CRET SINCE MAY 15.

New* of Ilia Ilrllnqniahmrnt of
the Office <>•■> Got Out With That
of the Appointment of Hia Sac
eeaaor on the iil^iu-Hronn
n Railroad Mon.
Atlanta, Aug. B.—G. Gunby Jordan,
a member of the Railroad Commission,
under appointment by Gov. Candler
made in 1901, has tendered his resig
nation to Gov. Terrell to take effect
Aug. 15, next. The fact of the resig
nation, which was tendered on May 15,
was kept secret until to-day, when
Gov. Terrell appointed to fill the va
cancy Joseph M. Brown of Marietta,
a son of the late Senator Joseph E.
Brown, and sent the appointment to
the Senate, which will take it up for
confirmation to-morrow.
Mr. Jordan gave as his reason for
resigning pressure of personal busi
ness. He Is president of the Engle and
Phoenix Mills in Columbus, and is In
terested in other large enterprises,
which occupy all of his time and at
tention.
This is the second time Mr. Jordan
has served as Railroad Commissioner,
having been appointed by Gov. Nor
then in tBP4.
Mr. Brown, who will succeed to the
office, is a railroad man of experience,
having been with the West“rn and
Alabama Railroad for a period of
twenty-two years up to the time of
his retirement, several years ago. He
was traffic manager of the road when
he left Its service. I'nder the law the
Governor was required to appoint a
man of railroad experience to fill the
vacancy.
to commit him to an asylum as in
sane. Among the most dangerous
criminals, and especially among those,
prone to commit this particular kind
of offense, there are plenty of a tem
per so fiendish or so brutal as to be
incompatible with any other than a
brutish order of intelligence; but these
men are, nevertheless, responsible for
their acts; and nothing more tends to
encourage crime among such men than
the belief that through the plea of in
sanity, or other method, It is possible
for them to escape paying the just
penalty of their crimes.
“The crime in question is one to the
existence of which we largely owe the
existence of that spirit of lawlessness
which takes form in lynching. It is a
crime so revolting that the criminal is
not entitled to one particle of sympa
thy from any human being. It is es
sential that the punishment for it
should be not only as certain, .but as
swift as possible.
"The jury In this case did their duty
by recommending the infliction of the
death penalty. It is to be regretted
that we did not have special provision
for more summary dealing with this
type of cases. The more we do, what
ever in us lies, to secure certain and
swift Justice in dealing with these
cases, the more effectively do we work
against the growth of that lynching
spirit which is so full of evil omen
for this people, because it seeks to
avenge one Infamous crime by the
commission of another of equal in
famy.
“The application is dented, and the
sentence will be carried Into effect.
(Signed.) “Theodore Roosevelt.”
PORTRAIT OF GORDON
TO HANG IN CAPITOL
Honae Pasaeil n Rill Appropriating

' Atlanta, Aug. B.—The House to-night
passed the bill by Mr. Mayson of De-
Kalb, appropriating SSOO to purchase a
portrait of Gen. John B. Gordon, to be
placed in the Capitol building.
A bill to appropriate SSOO to build a
monument over the grave of Peter
Early, one of Georgia's first Governors,
who was hurled In Greene county, fail
ed of passage and was tabled.
The feature of the night session was
the fight over the Arlington dispensary
bill. Mr. Buchannon of Early wanted
dispensaries established In Calhoun

the bill.. The bill was finally lost, after
an hour's wrangling.
—The briefest sermon on record was
preached last Sunday by Rev. Charles
H Yatman to an audience In Ocean
Grove, N. Y. This dominie announced
his text, and added, “Don't worry; it's
wteked,” and sat down. Which is rem
inlpcent of Beecher’s celebrated text
one sultry day in Plymouth Church,
P>rooklyn. “It's hotter than hell;’’ but,
then, he did not have that soul of wit
shown hy the Ocean Grove pastor, for
he went on to pronounce one of his
long but eloquent sermons on the sin
fulness of profanity. Mr. Yatman
takes the cup.
