MEETING OF THE VETERANS.

A Campfire Reunion in Central
City.
Macon, Aug. 25.-Macon to-day was
turned over to about $500 Confederate
veterans and their friends, who have
come to attend the big barbecue and
campfire reunion held at Central City
Park.
The speakers were Hon. N. E. Har-
ris, President Dupont Query of Wes-
leyan Female College, Mayor Bridges
Smith and Congressman Bartlett.
The visiting veterans and their
friends were met at the county Court
House and were escorted by the vet
Grams of Bibb county to the Central
City Park. 1t was an imposing scene,
the gray-haired heroes in line, several
of whom wore their old tattered uni
forms, which they have kept since the
Civil War.
At noon the crowd sat down to din
ner, which had been prepared in Caba-
Miss Hall by the Daughters of the Con-
federacy. There was bountiful sup
ply of the best of Georgia barbecue.
There was speaking after the din
ner. Col Harris dealt with the great
struggle in which he took part. Col.
Query portrayed in eloquent language
the part which the women of the South
took in the great struggle, and Judge
Bartlett spoke with special reference
to the unequaled valor which was dis
played by the soldiery of the South.

OLD GAME WORKED
WITH FAKE MONEY
COUNTRY NEGRO SWINDLED
WITH MONEY PRINTED FOR USE OF
BUSINESS COLLEGE.

Charley Mackey Remanded to the
City Court for SwindIing John
Brown, Country NegrO-Detec-
tiVes Davis and Bostick Exposed
the Game and Mackey Will he
Tried TO-day-Witness as Well as
Man Charged With Crime Held.
For taking advantage of an unso-
phisticated. country negro and swind-
ling him out of $27 Is. Charley Mackey,
a negro we'll known to the police, was
given a hearing in Police Court yes
terday morning and remanded to the
City Court. Though Mackey worked
an old, old game, he added a few
variations which made it look entire
ly new.
John Brown, a negro from Washing
ton, Ga, was the victim. Mackey
and his partner fixed the scheme up
and then the former approached Brown
They talked for some time and at
Mackey's suggestion they walked down
the street together.
The partner walking in advance
dropped a purse so that the two could
not possibly miss it. Mackey made
a dive for it, and put it in his pock-
ct. He then carried Brown to an
out-of-the-way place to examine the
contents. Among a number of papers
was a bill that at first glance might
be taken for real money.
Found Money on Street.
"A hundred dollars" exclaimed
Mackey.
He then offered to divide with Brown,
as is customary in such games. He
went to a store and pretended to ask
for change. Upon returning he told
Brown he could not make the change,
and asked what money he had. Brown
produced $27 Is. With that Mackey
said he thought he could make change
At that stage of the game, the negro
who had dropped the purse turned up,
but without claiming it He merely
acted as a friend of Mackey, and pro-
tested that the money should be turned
over to the owner. Mackey persuaded
him that they should all three keep
the money and left the two talking to-
gether, while he went to get the change
with the $27 Is belonging to the country
negro.
Money Was Not Real.
Mackey did not return for some time
and his partner pretended to grow sus-
piCious He said he was going to look
for him, and left Brown. Neither re-
turned, and Brown reported the mat
ter to Detectives Davis and Bostick,
after waiting for some time.
Mackey was caught in a short while
and charged with swindling. He de-
MED having had anything to do with
it, but on his way to the police sta
ton he threw pocketbook in the bot
tom of the patron wagon. Upon ex-
animation, it was found to contain the
bill which he had palmed off on the
countryman as a hundred dollars.
1t was a bill printed for a business
college and plainly marked for "Edu-
cational purposes only Brown got
S27.15 worth of education out of it.
Mackey was caught before Police
Court adjourned, and was Immediately
given a hearing and remanded. He is
charged with cheating and swindling
and will be tried to-day. Brown was
held as a witness until the case can
be tried.

OFF TO MANASSAS ON
SATURDAY, SEPT. 3.
Atlantic COast Line and Seaboard
Have Divided the Business.

nave DIVIDED the Business.
An equal division of the business of
carrying the Savannah and Florida
military to the Manassas maneuvers
has been made between the Seaboard
and Coast Line.
The Savannah troops will start over
the Seaboard, and viii return over the
Coast Line.
The Florida troops will be taken to
Manassas by the Atlantic Coast Line
and will be brought back by the Sea-
board
Saturday. Sept will be the date on
which the Savannah troops will leave.
The start will probab bly, be made about
) O'Clock in the afternoon, though this
has not been definitely determined
There will be $50 members of the in
fantry companies, who will travel on
two special trains with twelve coaches
each. There will be a special train for
the cavalry, $50 strong There will be
$50 horses to be transported.
The Florida troops will leave ST. Au-
CUISINE on the same day, probably in
the morning.
1t is estimated that the run will take
eighteen hours from Savannah, the cal
culation being that the special trains
can make the same time as regular
passenger trains on account of the fact
that few stops will be made.
More than 200 trains will be taken
into Manassas over the tracks of the
Southern and the Chesapeake and
Ohio, who own the line into Manassas
jointly. 1t has been given out that
twenty trains can be unloaded at one
time on the tracks at Manassas
RV LEAVING Sat1r6a 10
figured that the Savannah companies
will arrive Sunday morning, giving
plenty of time to pitch tents before
nightfall.
