RACE TROUBLE AT MACON.

Meagre but sensational reports
have reached Columbus in the past
few days of race clashes at Macon
The negro soldier is at the bottom OF
the trouble.
From all The Dispatch can learn il
seems that negro of that place who
stood high in the estimation Of both
races before the war, returned from
abroad few months ago and he has
devoted his efforts towards the or
ganization of the blacks of that sec
ton, their organization providing
that only a certain number of hours
should be worked each day, that GER
tain wages should be demanded, etc.
The result Of his efforts became
known and the white organize men
of that whole section, took the matter
in charge and the negro was given q
severe whipping and ordered to leave
the county, which he did. This oc-
Cured on Thursday night and on Fri
day night several hundred white men
whipped others who were implicated
in the plot and they were given a
few hours to leave.
These are the facts in so far as
this paper is able to get them

Arrangements have been completed
by the Chamber of Commerce of Co
lumbus and Lowndes County to bring
to this city, on Monday, June 16, at
S:15 o'clock, in the S. d. Lee High
School the noted lecture and motion
pictures, entitled, '"rhe Troubles of a
Merchant and How to Stop Them"
The lecture and pictures will bring
to the merchant, clerk, and profess
sional man, one Of the most fascinat-
ing stories on retail merchandising
and store efficiency ever presented.
Mr.. r. H. Kennedy will be the lee
turer, and, by moving pictures and
stereopticon views, will show and ex-
plain some of the latest and best
methods on storekeeping- arrange
ment of goods, window display, how
to write newspaper ads and how to
get best results therefrom-an many
other interesting things relating to
retail business.
The feature of the evening will be
three-reel film showing 1.-The Trou-
bles of Merchant" t"-the mistakes
that usually occur in the average
store, the Indifference among clerks
ON account of lack of proper super
vision, bad system, poorly arranged
stOck-which resulted in losses and
leaks ir the business, and finally
caused the merchan to become dis
heartened and about to give up the
struggle. The merchants career
changed, however, after he adopted
a system that gave him proper
check on his goods and money, re-
arranged his store and goods so that
they attracted customers, and taught
his clerks how to become more eff
cient through being courteous and at
tentive to the trade. The lecture and
pictures bring out many other ideas
of interest to the merchant, and are
instructive as well as entertaining.
These pictures nave been shown be-
fore some of the largest state and
national conventions, under the aus
pices of Chambers of Commerce,
Boards of Trade, Merchants AssOci-
ations, and ether business organiza-
tions, and have received the highest
oommendatiOn and endorsement.
The lecture and pictures have been
secured through the courtesy of the
National Cash Register Company, of
Dayton, o. There viii be no charge
for admission, and every merchant
and clerk in the city will, no doubt,
take advantage of the opportunity of
fered and attend

DOMESTIC SCIENCE SUCCESS,

One Of the best demonstrations of
practical work done at Franklin Acad-
emy this year was that Of the do
mestic science department.
The garments made by the sew
ing classes were admired for the
neatness and precision with which the
work had been done.
A luncheon for eight covers, pre-
pared and served by Miss Juhette
Hamilton's cooking class, reflected
great credit on the teacher. The ia
bic was attractively arranged, the
viands were well prepared, and the
little hosts and mattresses performed
their parts with a dignity worthy of
much older girls.
