A large number of people will visit Atlanta this fall simply to inves¬ tigate tho possibilities and examine the varied resources of the South —which they propose to do through the medium of the exhibits at this Exposition—determined to settl at whatever point strikes them as o .'taring the greatest inducement.

The New York World notes there- cent charge of a Federal District Judge ” Arkansas, who tokl the jury that everywhere except, in his own house the law requires a man to run away and do everything possible to escape from an assailant before killing him. The Judge also said that a man assaulted on his premises outside of his house must do his best to escape before killing his as- sailant in self-defense. Asthe Viorid sensibly remarks, this idea was handed down from ancient mes ’ when weapons consisted of knives, swords and bludgeons, which an active man had some chance of es- eaping. If is not applicable to these days of revolvers and Winchesters. The Arkansas man was sentenced to ei ght years’ imprisonment, but the nit f d ' ?tates ^ u P reme Court has er- dered a new rrial under instructions which declare that wherever a mau may be - if lie 1,as a r5 ght to be there, and has not himself provoked the assault, the law justifies him in standing his ground and killing bis assailant, provided the evidence satisfies the jury that the as- saulted man bad reasonable ground to believe and act upon the belief thai the , killing . . was to protect him- necessary se|f from great Ml , lwrnl . The Supreme CTiurt has acted sensi- bly in smashing the old common law quoted by the Arkansas Judge.

The management of the Cotton States International Exposition is jubi- lant over the brilliant results achieved by Mr. Luther Stienuger, Consulting Electrical Engineer, in the design for an Electric Fountain. The design is that of a twin-fountain, rising-from an island in the center of the graml basin, immediately in front of the machinery Hall. The island which forms ground- work for base of the fountain and cov¬ ers the operating chamber is one hun¬ dred feet long and fifty feet wide. There are nineteen orifices, each with seveu to ten jets. The electric lights uset j under each orifice to proje<-t the beam of light through the water, are of two } lun u ret j an< j fifty thousand candle, p Gwer each in the beam, The four forms of water used are the stream, the geyser, the spray and fog bank. The highest jets will rise something over one hundred feet from the basin of the lake. The fog bank is to be produced by steam, con- densed by rnear,« of spray. The forms win be used alternately in rious ways with the effect. The and geysers will he interspersed with circular pipes throwing jets in the form of wheat-sheaves. Mr. ritiermger designed the electric ’cantain at Chicago, but thinks will surpass.thst in brilliancy of feet. Skinned Alive. Did you ever hear of a human literally skinned alive and live to tell . . , *"*“ nought by a stroke of lightning, and the victim was a negro woman living on Mr. John B. Ilattawav's plantation, ' * H| Hl The ne wollian was in bed in a cabin on the place, Lightning struck the cabin and the vivid, brilliant, death-dealing current hit the negro woman on the head, tersd iti an electric shower that envel- oped the victim’s body for a moment in a dazzling sheet of dame, leaving her stunned, skinless and insensible, but the life pump was still working awav found she was a horrible sight to look upon, with not a particle of skin oh the trunk of her body,and daiiglingaround her ankles was a mass of scorched and crisp strips of skin, the ghastly remains of the once black, oily covering that Nature gave to the descendants of Ham. With the aid of physicians the woiiian regained consciousness, and it is be- lieved will recover. She is now per- exhibited fectly white: and if she lives will be at the Atlanta Exposition this faH. This strange freak happened last Saturday and is vouched for bj some of the best citizens of High SlioaT _Oconee (Ga.) Enterprise. Justice Brown's Strong: Talk. Justice Brown, of the Federal Su- prvme Court, created a sensation at Yale commencement when lis denoun- ced the trusts. This bold and fearless Federal Judge told llis hearers that the big corpora- tions are committing illegal acts; that they secure legislative favors by cor- ^ unjust tribute upon the people. A newspaper in sympathy with the monopolists protests against the speech n( l comDares it to the utterances 'ah*,!, J.enelling, Waite, Gosej* and But Justice Brown merely told the truth, and he put it very ' forcibly in »»■* center .hot: If no student can light his lamp with- out paying tribute to one company; ,!0 housekeeper can buy a pound of meat or sugar without swelling the re- of two or three all-pefvading trusts*, what is to prevent the entire productive interest of the country be- coming ^rcu ultimately absorbed by a hun- gigantic corporations? Some day a majority of the Supreme Co "« J "“* es " i,! b » w and when that time comes the trusts wnl .,. go to pieces. There is bbpe for the Court as a factor of reform when one ° f ltS inenibers out in Justice Brown's vigorous fashion. We need a * evv JJU >re such Judges.—Atlanta Con- stituticn. Mr . Frank P.

The program was remarka- bly fine. The association is in a flourish- j n g condition and growing in influ- ence. The handsome auditorium is practically paid for, and the association does not owe a dollar it cannot pay on demand. When the association con- vened it owed $800, but on the call for a collection to pay off this ness $700 was raised. The association has $1,000 in unpaid subscriptions, but this amount is easy to collect. Every college in the state was represented by president or some member of its faculty and in the majority of cases the entire faculty were present.
