Waddell Elected President and fi. W. Jexnisoa Secre tary. LaGrange, Ga., Aug 14.— The State Agricultural S ciety -net in the chapel of LaGrange Female college at $ o'clock this morning. The session was called to order by President Northern CoL A. M. Walker of Carsoimlle. Taylor county, ivas introduced by the president and mode an address. His subject was, “Practical Dairy Farming in Georgia.’ - It was an exhaustive and highly interesting statement. Prof. J. S. Newman of Auburn, Ala., di-cussed the question of impurity of milk, and recomme .de l the use of the separator. He told of its advantages. Col. Walker and Prof. Newman recom mend separation of the calf from the mother, saying it was economical and a great deal better in every way. The sub ject was discussod by many of those pres ent and valuable suggestions made. Maj. Branch moved tuat at 11 o’clock the election of officers be the order. Tne motion was carried. THE SEW EDUCATION. Prof. J. S. Newman made an address on “The New Education.” He said education will lift our people from the slough of deepair. Quite a revolution has taken place in the character of education recently. Rome and Greece, however, are still shap ing our educational plows. It is time for us to be a little more in the present. By edu cation, strict!vspeaking, we mean training, but we now expect a little instruction along with it. We must teach observation. We must connect with the abstract training a thorough investigation of the concrete. Ag riculture, in its last analysis, deals with the soil, the plant and the animal, all of which are dependent on each other. W e should learn ail that we possibly can about soil, plant and animal. Can tne state neglect education? It has been doing it until lately. EDUCATION DEFINED. Eduoation is: first, to train the whole boy mentally, morafiy and physically, to use his faculties; second, to make useful Christian citizens; third, it should not only train but instruct. Teach them not only to know something but to do something. Ob ject teaching is a great thing. Do not neg lect the old, but supplement it with the the Dew. Agricultural colleges are aiding in the propagation of new education. Theie physics, botany, chemistry, geology, civil and raining engineering, drawing, biology, agriculture and me chanics are taught. He spoke of the garden schools of France, Austria and Sweden, and the good they have done for those countries. He recommended a brancu agricultural school in every county in Georgia. He spoke of the ignorance of the planters on the very fundamental things which con cerned them. There is no sadder sight than to see a boy with a bright mind taught that farming is a drudgery. Lead them into the pleasant path of knowledge. AGRICULTURE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. A resolution was offered by Prof. W. C. Glenn to introduce a course of agriculture In the public schools. Maj. Glessner of Americus introduced the following resolution: Resolved. That the farmers of Georgia desire and demand an efficient system of common schools for a term of rot less than six months in each year, and are willing to bear their pro portionate shape of reasonable and equitable taxation for that purpose. PROF. WHITE ON EDUCATION. ITof. H. C. White said he was reserving his remarks until the fair. He recommended highly the Chautauqua feature at the state fair. He said he had been asked to be pres ident of an agricultural college. Everyone was thoroughly anxious that the children should be educated. Is it trtu that Greece and Rome still control the tbought of the day? Ha enumerated the scientific colleges of the country and showed by this means that the new education is in the ascendant. Taking issue on this joint witu Prof. Newman, be said that tne agricultural college would educate intelli gent farmers. When the farmer's b< y comes to college ought he not become a well rounded man instead of running in oue rut? D n’t chain his ambition to the plow, but teach him that he is as good a man as waiksontbe face of the earth. His speech abounded in g od sense and was delivered in his inimitable manner. GOV. GORDON’S SPEECH. At 10:30 o’clock Gov. John B. Gordon c ;me i to the hall and was received with loud cheering,and cries for a speech were re sponded to with a magnificent effort on civil government. He spike of the respon sibility of every individual citizen in a republican government. Immediately after Gov. Gordon’s speech a resolution was introduced Indorsing the candidacy of Gov. Gordon for United States senator. This was carried by a rising vote, and more enthusiastic men were never seen. Men stood upon benches and waved their hats and wildly cheered. ELECTION OF OFFICERS.

The Debate on the arlff Etfl Then Resumed— onator Mitchell Speaks in Defense of the Protective feyst“m— Senator Reagan Successfully Contro verts lils Position. Washington, Aug. 14.—1n the Senate this morning Mr. Plumb, from the commit tee on a; pnpriations, reported the Senate joint resolution appropriating for the relief of the destitute in Oklahoma the unerne ided balance of the appropriation made last April for the relief of the district overt! wed by the Mississippi river, and it was passei. The tariff bill was the i taken up, the pending question being oa Mr. Vest's amendment (offered last Mondavi to reduce the duty on tin pla’e ‘paragraph 13T, page 26,1 from 2 2-10 cents to 1 cent per pound. Mr. Mitchell addressed the Senate in de fense of the high protec ive system, as being the policy to which the Republican party stands committed. He discussed in detail and generally in terms of commendation the bill as re ported by the fl isnce committee, qualify ing his commendation, however, on the sugar question, a id expressing the opinion that the provisions of the House bill on that point were preferable to those recom mended by the finance committee. Tne delivery of his speech occupied two hours hours and a half. REAGAN IN OPPOSITION. He was followed by Mr. Reagan in an argument to controvert the position taken by Mr. Mitchell to the effect that congress has power to levy taxes in order to regulate an industry He was subjected on the part of Mr. Mitchell to what he called a cate chism, the principal question in which was on wnat classes of imported goods he would have duties imposed iD a tariff for revenue only—on those not produced in this c mutry or those produced here. He replied that he would only have ad valorem rates; would tax tea, coffee, sugar, iron ad steel aud woolen and cotton goods, and would have raw materials on the free list, but with a corresponding reduction of the duty on the manufactures into which such raw material entered. He characterized Mr. .Mitchell's speech as an elaborate aud in genious argument for the subversion of the constitution to benefit a few at the expe ,se of the many. PLUMB AND THE DUTY ON TIN. Mr. Plumb gave notice of an amendment which he would offer to strike out of para graph 137 the provision imposing a duty on tin plate, and to add to the paragraph a pr< ‘Vision to pay to inanufactursrs of tin plate made in the United States a bounty of I cent per pound. He expressed great doubt as to the effect of the propwitio i of the finance committee. He doubted that It would permanently introduce into this country the manufacture of tin plates in a 3uantity sufficient for domestic use. He oubted it for various reasons; one of the n being that ho had observed that American manuf cturers had been swift to avail themselves of duties that gave them large profits on articles made by them, and had abandoned the production of articles that gave themouly small profits. Mr. Plumb argued at some length against au increase of the duty on tin plate, and concluded with a proposition that if tne duty was to be taken off sugar, au agri cultural product of Louisiana and Texas, and if a bounty was oflered to domestic sugar growers, why, be asked, should not the same principle he extended to the tin plate industry. LABOR’S SHARE IN A TON OF STEEL. Mr. Carlisle presented a letter which he had received from the commission of labor, showing the labor cost in a ton of steel rails at three points—an establishment in the north of the United States, one in Great Britain and one in Belgium. The cost at the first was sll .59; at the second, $7 81, and at the third at $8 10. He also read a letter received by him to-day from Charles W. Potts of Philadelphia, a large cons rnier of tinplate, to the effect that he had applied to all the rolling mills in the vicinity of Pittsb irg for a pries on the thickness of steel plats ou’ of which canning tin plates is made, and that all except one stated that they ciuld no malts steel plates as thin as required, and one firm shat it could make th3tu for cents (un tinned), while the present price for tin plate, duty, treight, etc., included, is only 4 22-100 cents per pound. HOW ALDRICH EXPLAINS IT. Mr. Aldrich aecountel for that on the ground that as there was no and ernand in this cou try for ste 1 plates of suen thinness there was no plant for rolling them, but he predicted that if the duty was increased ad the rolling mills would ii a short time be provided with the requisite plant. Mr. Bate ad iressa l the Senate in a gen eral review and condem ;atiou of the bill. He ridicule 1 the idea that the farmers would derive anv benefit from it. The bill might baa revision of the tariff, but it was not a reduction of taxation. A vote was then taken and Mr. Vest’s amendment was rejected by 26 yeas to 30 nays. Mess s. Davis and Plumb being the only republicans voting in the affirmative. Mr. Ingalls did not vote and Mr. Pad dock voted nay. PLtTMB OFFERS AX AMENDMENT. Mr. Plumb offered an amandine nt, of which he had gi. en notice, to strike ou t the clause imposing a duty of 2 1-5 cent* on tin plate, reserving the other part of the proposition as to a bounty. Mr. Higgins said that if Mr. Plumb’s amendment meant that tin was to be put on the free list it was the only ground that could be taken by those who opposed the proposition of the finance committee. Mr. Plumb withdrew his amendment and offered another, making the duty on tin plate 1 cent a pound, and providing a bounty of 1 cent per pound on tin plate manufactured in tae United States. Without proceeding further in the matter the Senate adjourned. GRIFFIN’S MURDER TRIAL. The Court Room Crowded With Peo ple Throughout the Day. Griffin, Ga., Aug. 14.—The superior court took up the McCullough case to-day, and after striking nearly a hundred names secured a jury. McCullough is charged with killing J. H. Powell. Judge John I.

Tne cotton acreage has greatly in creased, aud orchards are now found in many places, being used to supply the market with fruit, where ten years ago orchards w ere only used for the family needs. In 1889, with one or two exceptions, no farmer in the district culti vated more tba i enough Irish and sweet potabies, or planted a larger patch cf melons than could be used by his own family. Now potatoes and melons are raised in very large quantities to.' the markets of the country. MANUFACTURING INTERESTS.

It was led by the elephant, a rusty looking specimen of her r-.ee, with a backbone 1 ke a crosscut saw. Tee parade was a suecsss as far as size was concerned, for it was three miles long, and was viewed by thousands of people. Some few floats were really handsome affairs. If a stranger, uninformed, had happened into the city he would have con cluded, from the elephant in the lead,which looked as if she was a thousand years old, that a 10-ceut cireu- parade was in progress. Gov. Gordon and Mayor Glenn were un av idably absent from the city and could not occupy the place assigned them in the procession. To-night at the Kimball house a grand banquet was given bv G. V.

From the Ae r York World. William A. Miller, who keeps a general grocery on Lewis avenue and Van Buren street, Brooklyn, has just had a narrow escape from death as the result of a bite from a centipede. He had frequently seen the insects, he says, in moving fruit and vegetable boxes that he keeps on the side walk outside his store, but he was not aware that they were dangerous until he saw an account in a Brooklyn paper in June of a Greeapoint grocer who was bi ten on the hand by one, Two weeks ago last Satur day Mr. Miller was moving his boxes when he noticed one of the insects run from a damp spot under a box he picked up. It go: out of sight so quickly that he thought nothing more about it, but went on with his work. A short time later he had occasion to go across the s reet to a butcher shop, aud while there felt vrbat he supp :sed to be a mosquito bite an his right leg near the knee. On pressing the spot with bis hand he was astonished to see a centipede about I%‘inch long drop from his trousers leg. It ran across his foot and was about 'o make its way up the other trouser leg when he succeeded in killing it. It was very quick in its movements, and of a vellowish brown col r, and had a joiuted shell on its back. On the following day Mr. Mil'er felt vern sick. On the second day his log hid swolleh to double its natural size and hie had a tigs, fever. Dr. Elen of Bushwick avenue, way surumo el, and on seeing the patient ex pressed regret that the bite had been so 1 mg neglected. He fou and th? case a very serious one and sent for Dr. Smith of Reid avenue, to meet him in consultation. The strongest remedies, b ith internal and external, ware applied to counteract the poison, but Mr. Mider grew worse, aud on Friday, the seventh day after receiving the wound, his life was almost despaired of. His vitality was ke. tup by the use of stimulan s, and the crisis was passed on that day. M hea seen by a reporter yesn rday Mr. Miller, who is a young ad vigorous man, c mid scarcely move Ins leg and it pained him greatly. Tbe two weeks of suffering have rendered him pale and emaciated, but his recovery, barring so me unforeseen com p ica ion, is assured.

Tbe seventh annual re o-t of toe state committee on lunacy, issued yesterday, is of especial interest. A short paper on the “Mental State of Some of tue Survivors of the Jah-stown Djaster” deserves to bee.ted in full: “Doub less there occurred ia many in stance*, a noi • t lose who perished, a "brief per od of frenzy sufficient in inte isity to fca e perm. e tly overthrown their rea-on had life be. n spared to them, and there existed proof that, in not a few instances, suicide had been invoked ai a means of es cape from an overwhelming sense of peril; but far outnumbering tLesj were instances of true heroism, fortitude and reliance upon divins assistance and protection, as was evinced in the efforts of par ents to save their cmldren, husbands their wives and sons their aged parents, which are much le-s gainful ty contemplate. To a majority of the victims death was probably almost instantaneous, but there were also those who apparently were hep lessly imprisoned and cut off from human aid to whom a fearful doom slowly appr ached by rising water and approaching flames; but of even these, the survivors miracu lously spared, none are known to have be come insane from their contemplation of approacaing death. “An extensive correspondence by the writer with all the hospitals, aimsbousesaud other sources, public and private, of infor mation upon the mental state of the sur vivors, reveals the present existence of about fliteen cases of insanity in a y man ner referable to the effects of the great catastropne, of wh m seven were men, eight women; three males and four femuies had been insane prior to the flood, had boen restored and were residing at Johnstown, of whom three males and tnree fe males had each had one previous attack; one female three previous attacks. “None of these cases have been in itnmi nent*persoiial peril except one, a woman, 79 years of age, wao had floated to a place of safety upon a bedstead. Of these cases seven have since recovered under hospital treatment. Of those attacked acute mania developed in flve males, four females; acute melaucholia in one male, one female; acu e melancholia suicidal in one male, one fernaie; subacute melancholia in one female and senile dementia in one female, “In reviewing this very small total, the conviction i* strengthened that the great and overwhelming trials of life are much less l.able to overthrow the reason than the continuous worry and attrition cf minor evils and unavoidable contact with depress ng surroundings.” SYRUP OF FIGS.
