commission sold the liquor supplies
on hand, the liquor house proved
debts against the State to the amount
OF about 100000, and there was
not enough money on hand to pay
the costs of the administration and
the liquor house debts, and when
Fielder appeared with his evidence
and showed by competent and in
disputable evidence that the State
did not owe them half this amount,
the liquor house went into the
United States court in order to get
their 100000. And right here /
must say that l have always been
surprised at the large number of our
citizens, many Of them good, honest
men. loyal citizens. but blinded by
their love for the State dispensary
system that they almost prayed that
the United States court would ac-
quire jurisdiction and wind up the
affairs of the State Jdispensary. or
course, if the supreme court of the
United States had sustained the
judgment of the United States Cir
cult court and of the United States
court of appeals. then Fielder would
not have received a cent, and all the
time and all the money and all the
services he had spent would have
gone for naught. And it has been
conservatively estimated that the
costs OF the administration in the
United States court, and which the
State Of South Carolina would have
paid, attorneys fees and all, under
these circumstances, would have
been over 100000. Now while
you. possibly. like Teddy Roosevelt,
would have been d-e-l-i-g.h-t-e-d,

WAS BIBB's BEST FAIR.
The Central ran a spur track to
the laboratory from the main line,
which passed in front, and if you
ask any old-timer what was the best
fair ever held in Bibb county he
will aGhesitatingly say that the first
fair held after the war at the labora
tory building was by all odds enti-
tied to the blue ribbon. The expo
sition of farm products was such as
to dispel even the slightest intima-
ton that such a thing as war had
ever occurred. 1t showed that the
people had been at work to make up
for the time lost in the army.
The building was constructed of
the very best material and of the
very best workmanship. With any
care the building would have with
stood the ravages of ages.
Its twin, the armory building, has
been razed to the ground many years.
Only one little side wing of it vet
remains.

Historic Building Burned.


ing recently Of the laboratory build
ing just beyond Vineville destroyed
a building that intended, with a
building of equaFproportions known
as the armory, in the southern part
OF the city, to make Macon the base
OF supplies as to- ammunition for
the Confederate army.
From the latter part Of 1861
cartridges were made in Macon for
the army. At first these cartridges
were very crude, made with brown
wrapping paper, and consisted of
one large ball for twelve bore guns
and three buckshots about the size
of an old-fashioned cathartic pill
and a charge of coarse black powder.
Those were gradually improved
upon and finally came t, pressed
slug or ball with a better quality of
paper.
FIRST BUILDING USED.
Millions were, made in Macon.
The first building TO be used was
that on Poplar street. now known
as Pat Lyons saloon, but the de-
mands grew until the entire corner
of Second and Poplar streets, now
occupied by the telephone exchange
and other buildings, was covered
with one-story wooden buildings, in
which 500 girls and boys were en-
gagged in the manufacture of car
tridges, filling shells, the making of
fuses, sky rockets and Roman cam
dies for signaling.
With the view of making Macon
the distributing point and base of
ammunition supplies the Confeder-
ate government secured a number Of
acres of land above Vineville for a
laboratory and several acres in the
southern part Of the city for an
armory for the manufacture of small
arms and percussion caps. This
latter manufacture war carried on
where the girls and boys high
schoola are now.
Col. c. s. Mallettc was in charge
of the constl uction of the labora-
tory. The commonest laborer on
the building was receiving 80 per
day. This building was nearing
completion, as was the armory
building, when Gen. Wilson entered
the city.
MAJOR HANSON BOUGHT n.
Some time after the war had
ended the building came into pos
session of private parties and was
used for a barrel factory and other
purposes until few years ago, when
the late Major Hanson. as president
of the Central of Georgia Railway
Company, bought it TO hold in re-
serve for the establishment of the
great shops afterward~ built on the
city reserve. The major feared that
he could not get as much of the re-
serve, and property Of others in the
locality, as he had in mind, and
thus provided himself as desired for
the immense shops he had against
any contingency.
In, 1868 the people of Macon and
Of the State had about recovered a
foothold for the future, and a num-
ber of enterprising citizens held a
fair under the auspices of the State
Agricultural Society in the labora-
tory building, which was most ad-
mirably suited for the purpose. The
people of the State, especially the
farmers, were eager for fair. The
last fair had been held in 1859 or
1850. The great fair was known as
the Balgian fair and was held at
Camp Oglethorpe, where the shops

CHAPTER TEN.

written for the series on the Gospel
of John at the request of Rev. Robert
Gordon.)
The shepherd chapter. If the reader
can find the time he ought by all
means to read the 23d Psalm in con-
nection with it. Whoever has in mind
one of our great western sheep ranch
es with it's mighty flocks will miss the
significance of this chapter. Whoever
heard in these days of shepherd
knowing his sheep by name, and lay
ing down his life for his flock. Yet
shepherd of Christ's time did. The
flocks were small and the shepherd
knew the animals individually and in
timately. Here is one of the great
thoughts of the chapter. Our great
shepherd stands in exactly that rela-
tionship to his flock You are differ
ent from other individual that ever
lived. No one yet to be born Will be
exactly like you. In temperament, in
thought, in likes and dislikes, in the
temptations you meet. in the circum-
stances that surround you daily. in
the needs you have, in all these things
your are an individual different from
all others. Are you misunderstood by
some? Yesterday did some one leave
you with an utterly wrong impression
of you? He did not understand you
and you did not explain But here is
one who thinks of us not en- masse,
but as individuals. He does not deal
with us all alike. Let this thought
bring its own message of comfort to
us today-"He calleth His own sheep
by name" and st know mine own -
What if they do misunderstood us.
What if our surroundings do make it
difficult. He knows our individual
needs and HE will supply every need
according to his riches in glory"
The chapter tells US also that
ssChrist is the door" Everybody is a
door, an open doorway into some new
vista. Some folks are so well satisfied
with themselves that they feel no one
can teach them anything. There are
others, like Abraham Lincoln for ex-
ample, who feel they can learn from
everyone they meet. Christ is the door

he could not have described the situation

OFT is claimed by scientists that the
earths motion upon its axis has not
varied a second for thousands of years.
In view of this how shall we account for
the statement of Joshua X, 49, 1.-THE

motion upon its axis was stopped or its
velocity lessened? (J. w. Al
Answer.-A critical examination of this
passage of the Hebrew language in which
the Old Testament was written, discloses
the fact that Joshua never requested the
Lord to cause the sun and moon to stand
still. His request was that the sunlight
and the moonlight be restrained or pre-
vented from shining through the dark
clouds of the storm mentioned in verse
IL, in which great hailstones had been
formed, and doubtless were accompanied
by thunder and lightning, all of which
would strike terror into the hearts of the
Amorites. Had the dark clouds rolled
away and the sun shone forth, the enc
mics of Israel, who were sun worship
pers, would have plucked up courage and
resisted the onslaugf1ts of Joshua and
his army. So the sunlight and the moon
light remained dim (Hebrew dunn about

The scientists are right and in harmony
with the Scriptures. for the earth did not
cease to Tevolve upon its axis, but con-
tinued to pursue the even tenor of its
way. The Bible rightly interpreted and
understood is consistent with reason and
with facts
ON II King Xxx, II, we read that
Isaiah the Prophet cried unto the Lord;
and He brought the shadow of the sun
ten degrees backwards, by which it had
gone down on the dial of Ahaz. Does
this record teach that the Lord reversed
the earth's motion upon its axis2 (A.)
Answer.-The possibility of such a
miracle has been questioned by many,
who have insisted that it could in no way
be possible. that it would involve not
only stoppage of the motion of the earth
upon it's axis. but an impossible retrograde
movement, to be accomplished in a mo-
ment of time. However, Professor Gar

The most practical and modern meth
cd yet discovered for making anything
go is to get it friends to saw so. The
force that turns the tide in any nation
al election is the SAY so'' Of the Iarg-
est number of people. The neW-fangled
washing machine which is most widely
praised by women is the one that wins:
no other advertising is comparable with
this The organization, be it Men and
Religion or the Grand Order of PIumed
knights, which sets men to talking
about its good points, is sure of sue
cess. So with convention or a church;
II enough men speak favorably about
the Christian Conservation Congress of
the Men and Religion Movement in
New York city next April, it will be Il
national event of first magnitude. More
important than an eloquent preacher is
to nave a congregation of men anS
women who know the art of praisiE G
their own church. All of which was
summed up by the Psalmist when he
cried, Let the redeemed of the Lord
say So" That's all. Just say which
side you are on, and you array the
full force of your personality in its
favor. That is the philosophy of the
ballot. A vote for a man is only the
citizens testimony to his belief in that
man, or in the principles which he rep
resents. If Christian men and women
could only be made to see the immense

things in which they believe, we should
be relieved of the necessity for a great
deal of religious machinery.
Testimony is a test BY what a per-
son speaks for we may judge what he
is.
Words weigh according to the weight
of the life that backs them.
A quiet word, spoken at the right
moment, may turn a life that could
not be moved by flights of oratory.
Behind testimony for Christ must be
friendship with Christ and sincere in
terest in the person to whom the word
is spoken. Such a love-winged utter
ance needs no adornnent of rhetoric:
it is enough that a friend stands be-
tween his divine Friend and seeks to
introduce to Him an earthly friend.
It's the introduction that counts, and
not its form.
If the friends of Christ would pub

tional institution or other Christian
