MACON FULL OF ENTHUSIASM.
Enlistment Rolls of All of the Com
panies Filling Up.

Macon, Ga, April 15.-Many flags are
floating from tall buildings here to-day,
and intense enthusiasm Is displayed by
the military and others.
Col Wiley commenced an inspection of
the local companies tonight and Lieut..
Col Huguenin has gone to Columbus for
a similar purpose.
The enlistment rolls of all the compa-
MES in Macon have been running up rap
idly since the order for the enlistment of
men up to the full strength of the compa-
MES was issued. The Floyd Rifles and
the Macon Guards have had largest acces-
sions TO their ranks, but all companies re-
port that they have added a number of
men. IT is probable that more active work
of enlistment will be done next week.

CENTRAL DIRECTORS MEET.
Afterwards They Inspected the New
Wharves.

Afterwards They Inspected the New
Wharves.
The regular quarterly meeting of the
Central Railroad directors was held yes
terday morning at the office Of the presi-
dent, Mr. H. M. Conner, on Bay street.
Those present were President H. NJ. Co
mer, Vice President John NJ. Egan, Direc-
tors Samuel Spencer, New York. Charles
Steele, New York; u. B. Harold, Ameri-
Gus; S. r. Jacques, Macon; E. P. Howell,
Atlanta; G. Gunby Jordan, Columbus,
George J. Mills, A. r. Lawton and A
Vetsburg, Savannah.
After the meeting, at which the ordin-
airy routine business was transacted, the
directors were taken down to the wharves
of the Central Railroad and Ocean Steam
ship Company and shown the improve
ments that are being made The direc-
tors were greatly impressed with the ex-
tensive wharves that are being built, and
they expressed themselves as of the opin-
ion that the increased facilities that will
be afforded for shipping will conduce
greatly to the advantage of the port. Most
of the directors left during the afternoon
and night.
The hotel help train over the Florida
Central and Peninsular Railroad that
passed through at about 2:30 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon, north bound, had the
biggest crowd aboard that has yet been
secured by one of the trains. There were
220 aboard when the train.reached Savan-
nah, and this number was increased by
twenty by the help that boarded it here
This will probably be the last train of
the season for the hotel help. 1t was
originally the intention to run four that
being the number usually each season.
Certain conditions caused the winter sea-
son in Florida to come to an earlier ter
mination than usual, however, and it has
been found that the three trains that have
already been run, will probably answer for
all the business. It is not believed that
there is sufficient help left in Florida and
along the line of the road TO justify the
Plant System, the line that was to have
the last train, in putting one on.
The record in the case of Scarlet Bros.
against the Florida Central and Peninsu-
lar Railroad was sent yesterday to the Cir
cult Court of Appeals al New Orleans.
The plaintiffs secured a verdict and judg-
ment for about $3.50, and an appeal has
been taken by the attorneys for the road.
The suit was for crossties furnished.

Better Than Enthusia SIN.

If the dispatch had said they

more reassuring. Enthusiasm is
all right but there is a certain
void that it cannot fill.
