now the Macon papers are among
the best patronized in the State,
and the business men Of that city
are amoug the most substantial IN
the South. We happen to be able
to testify to the truth Of. this
statement in every particular.
For the size Of the place, there is
more advertising done in Macon
than in any other city of the
South, and hence her extraordina-
ry prosperity since the close of the
war. The name of nearly every
merchant and business man in
the city is to be found in her daily
papers : not occasionally and con-
densed into the smallest possible
space, as if the parties were afraid
somebody would find out where
they are, utregularly, systemati-
cally and prominently, and in
many instances with an apparent
disregard Of cost. They know
what they are at, and 60 into the
papers and stay there because it
pays. The result is practically de-
monstrated in the rapid growth Of
business and accumulation Of
fortunes.

icaD of Saturday.
Mr.. Greeley, now in the City of
Washington, Telegraphs as fol-
lows in reference to the new Cab
met: 49,.
The new Cabinet means bust
ness emphatically. Each man was
chosen by General Grant express
ly to aid him in carrying out the
programme Of economy and integ-
rity embodied in the inaugural.
The Hon. E.. B. Washburn has
fought SO vigorously and success
fullyin Congress against corrup-
tion and prodigaiity that he could
not be spared from a reforming
Cabinet. His health is very poor,
and he is most reluctant to take
anyappointment that keeps him
in Washington. On these grounds
he at first resolved not to accept,
bat it is hoped that his-repngnance
will be overcome, even though, be
should not be able, to serve
through General Grants term.
Probably no single member of
the Cabinet had any reason to
suppose his name on the slate till
it went into the Senate to-day. -
From the New. York. Times r(Re-

A AnvvprrsINa .TESTED An

lanta paper, in the course of an
article on the value of advertising
to business men, says: -
A merchant ia Macon, who bad
been successful for years, ncluded
at the beginning. of the yeartbat he
would try the virtue of adverti'
sing. That year he spent eigh'
teen hundred dollars with the
printers, and his own testimony
is, that be did three times the
amount of. business that he ever
did before. in the same length Of
time He still keeps his name and
business prominent in the papers,
and finds his profits steadily in;

these arms? And what did you
do to prevent it?

Wv w P4OFOAo ~
Al do not know that there
were such armed bands in these
counties, nor dc I now recollect of
any report of such armed bands
being made to me from Abbeville.
It may, however, have been made,
as there was a general rumor OF
armed bands of negroes.
Q.-Do you know that the i'm
portation of arms into the State,
was brought about by the fact.
that every negro man in. the State
was the owner of a fre-arm, and
the white man almost entirely un-
armed?
A.-On the contrary I know
to the reverse of that. You would
scarcely meet white man who
did not have one revolver if not
more, and a double-barrel shot
gun. 1t is true that many Of the
colored men were armed with shot
guns and old muskets, but not
more than a large minority of
them had even these arms. I wish
to say that I gave the white of
the State the credit with more in
telligence and knowledge of the
negro character than to believe
that it was necessaryin any emer-
gency to provide themselves with
the destructive weapons in a time
Of profound peace.
Q.-You think then and testify
that the sixteen shooters were i'm
ported to kill negroes7
Al believe from evidence
that I dare not regard as worth
less that it was the beliefof a par
ty or a large number. of men in
the State, that Seymour and Blair
would be elected, and thereby a
decision would be given against
the Reconstruction policy Of Con-
gress, and il was the intention of
those to inaugurate civil war and
overthrow the governments that
had been established in the South.
I will give as one reason for this
belief: Conversations were not
uncommon among those who were
most active in importing these
arms, wherein they expressed full
ly and openly their plan of opera
ton, in which they stated that
they would bring about ? riot; in
this eventthey would be prepared
and kill off the leading Republi-
cans, both white and BLACK, and
that it would be an easy matter
after they were disposed Of to
control the rest of the negroes,
with these guns in their hands.
The State officers disposed of, they
would call new election, when
they. would have the whole mat
ter in their own hands. In an
swer to an inquiry whether they
did not fear that they would be
called to an account for this
wholesale work, they said: "Who
ever heard of anybody being pun
ished for riot" and referred to
Memphis, Camilla, and New Or
leans in 1866.
Q.-You think then the sixteen
shooters were introduced for an
other rebellion and a new seces-
sion?
Al think it was intended for
another rebellion, but not a new
secession. -.

IMPROVEMENTS IN VELoCIPEDEs.

IMPROVEMENTS IN VELocIPEDEs.,
1t will be strange if ingenuity
does not contrive a Velocipede
which will be Of practical use.
The instruments which now run.
are fit only for floors or very
smooth and level roads, they may
remain for awhile a fashionable
luxury, but they answer no really
useful end. 1t is stated, however,
that a number. Of ingenious me-
chanics in different parts of the
country are at work upon improve
ments which they expect will
make the Ve}ocipede practically
useful. What is needed for thia
country IS a Velocipede which can
be used on country roads with
comfort, without too great ex-.
ertion of strength, and at such
moderate speed that men doing:
business in town may use Feloei-
pedes in going between the depot.
and their homes, or otherwise,

WHY IS THE PRESIDENT INAUau-
RATED ON THE FOURTH OF MARCH 2
We remember many years ago,
when a child, (says the, tYicks-
burg Herdld)to have heard this
interrogatory answered in the
declaration that in consequences Of
the change occasioned by. the .ad-
dition Of one day every biseztile
or leap year, the 4th Of March
occurred less often on Sunday
than any other day Of the week,
and for this reason was selected.
Curiosity has prompted us to
make the examination, and Gwc
find that, in thirty Presidential
terms, from 1889 to- 1905, inclu-
sive, the fourth of March has, and
will have fallen oftener on Sun
day than any other day Of the
week except Tuesday. Thus, we
have the fourth of March in those
years coming four times, eachs on
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, and FIVE
times each on Sunday and Tues
day. The Federal Constitution
was adopted on the 1st Of March,
1880, but the first President,
George Washington, was not in
augurated until April 80, 1889.
Washington's second term, COM
mencmg on the 4th of March,
1898, fell on Sunday, as did also
the term of James Monroe, 1921,
and Zachary Taylor, 1S49, all Of
whom, we believe, were inaugu-
rated on the 5th Of March, the
following day. The 4th Of March
