THE END OF THE FAIR.
If is a Thing of Ilia Past—A Graphic
Dcscripticiv'of tho Closing
Scene.
Iq speaking ottRe closing ot the
great World’s Fair the Chicago Her
ald describes the closing scene as
follows:
The- ebd came at sunset. The
great Columbian Exposition laded as
quietly and sadly as an autumn day,
and when tbe belching cannon had
sent a score oi shots to Heaven and
pelted the'domcs and pinnacles with a
million echoes the giant had died.
Silver-throated chimes tolled the
knell, murmuring fountains sang the
Tequiem, while clouds hung as the
shrond. The night stole, on, the
breakers slept, the lagoons grew as
dim as patoted ponds, the lights
blinked out and it was over. It pars
ed as gently as the withering rose, to
leave a memory as sweet as the fra
grance of an incense pot. The mighty
old organ groaned and wept, the
preacher prayedjhe whizzing pulleys
ceased their jangle, the rattling wheels
hung silent, the throttles were choked.
The waning moon looked down at
midnight upon a wilderness of beauty
awaiting the assassin’s ax. Columns,
towers and turrets, portals, peristyle
and palaces, Dianas, mermaids and
heroes, archers, Neptuoes and pyra
mids, sculptors’ groups and artists’
panels, treasures of genius and mar*
vels oi brains, all stood mute at the
altar side, awaiting the torch to make
them ashes. It was a sight sadder
than a funeral and as melancholy as
a winter forest. The wind sent shafts
to the marrow and rattled grewsomely
in the withered leaves and frosted
boughs, and from end to end the fairy
acres were as sombre as the valley of
the shadow of death.
There were no pageants, no long
lines ot gorgeous floats, no noisy pro
cessions. Neither bombs nor mortars
rent the sky, nor were sizzling rockets
loosed. There were no merry ban
queters, no concerts, no jubilees. The
trumpeters, who heralded the fair
were silent and the thousands who
sang the patriotic hymns a half year
ago were hushed. The flaming fagots
that flared under the ribs of the gilded
dome were unlighted. There wire no
stridiog meteors unrolled, no majestic
bars blown by the wind. There were
no chapeaux, no epaulets, no gather
ing of the nation’s great. No orators
scaled the heights with congratulatory
eloquence, no gonfalon lell at the
signal oi a potentate.
All the fetes became funeral pyres;
rejoicing hymns were turned to songs
of sadness, and triumphant strains
were dropped to death marches.
Tears ran where sroi'es were wont and
sorrow filled breasts where pride was
due. Pity lor the end became grief
for the calamity and all ended the
grandest event of four wonderful cen
turies. Fate had been cruel and its
unkindness had added a piteous death
as tho climax. Thus the sadness of
the end was two-fold and the great
fair went out under a double cloud.
Amos J. Cumminps, tho c L^rft-8
man-j"uruati«t, in a recent syndicate
letter cn “Democratic Wheel Horse*
in Congress,” pays this high and de
served tribute to one of Georgia’*} vet
eran representative!-:
‘Henry G. Turner, of Quitman,
has taken a very activo part in all the
hearings before the committee of ways
and means, and, like Speaker Crisp f
was at one time chairman of tho com*
mittee on elections. Indefatigable in
his committee work, be is a power oh
the floor of the bouse. His speeches,
though few, are well seasoned and
carry great weight. There is nothing
dramatic about him. He speaks
calmly and dispassionately, confining
himself so the point at iseuo, And
elucidating the facts very clearly and
convincingly. Extremely courteous
in bearing and language he com
mands both the attention and the
consideration of all who hear him. He
is one of the steadiest and strongest
of the wheel horses in the house. The
nation, let alone his state, could illy
afford to lose him.**
Was it Suicide?
Atlanta, Nov. 10.—Thackery Phil
lq*s, brother of J. W. Phillips, the
well known wholesale grocer, was
found, to-day, near the city, at East
Lake, with his throat cut from ear to

says he was enticed there by two men.
He recently built an elegant home
near there. He will din.

of his assailant^ and it is thought ‘ by
his friends that ho suicided.
The Augusta Chronicle winds up an
able editorial on the political situation
as follows:
‘This is no time for.ioteraal strife.
Let the democrats come together.
Let them lay aside all minor consider
ations,, and quickened by tbe warning
which was sounded on Tuesday, fall
into solid phalanx, redeem the pledges
of their party and carry the war into
Africa, Right here in Georgia and
Carolina there is great need that such
a spirit be cultivated. There is noth
ing to gain by going out ol the party.
There is everything to lose. The
work of alignment and unification
should begin.’’
The Chronicle is right, democrats
in Georgia should be found where
they have been in the past, standing
shoulder to shoulder. And that is
where they will be fonad when the
contest comes again.
Jesup, Ga.’, Nqvi ro.— the situa
tion still remains unchanged. As a
result of repeated solicitations and
representations that fberewas no fever
here, Surgeon Carter arrived this
morning for the purpose "of disinfect
ing all the' bedding and woolen
articles which had been in contact
with the patients. The disinfecting
car which follows Him will, in allprob
ability, arrive from Camp Detention
by to-morrow morning’s train. Tliis
begins to look as if the end might be
shortlycxpcctod to a quarantine wtveh
has now become as irksome as it
useless. It is hoped that in a day or
two at farthest, Jesup will be entirely
relieved.
A true, dyed-in the wool-democrat
never gets rattled over a temporary
defeat. Here is what Speaker Crisp
has to say about tho elections on Tuos
day:
“I think there is nothing to dis«
hearten us in the result. There is no
indication to my mind of weakness in
our party from that election. It was
no slap at the administration and pro
ceeded from a series of very natural
‘*In tho -first place, tho financial de
pression caused much discontent,
which will disappear with the soon
and certain return of better times.
Then it is an of! year, which but car
ried with it the fulfillment of the old
precedent, that tho party in power
loses.
“But the, most salient feature of
tho late elections is the fact that in
many of the states the issues were lo
cal and not national, New York be
ing the notable example of this state
of affaire.”
Georgia’s military is receiving at
tention at the hands of the legislature.
A dispatch to the News yesterday
says:
“Senator Wooten introduced a pair
of interesting military bills in tbe
Senate this morning. One provides
for tho reorganization of the governor’s
staff, giving his private secretary a
place thereon with the rank of major
and conferring rank_ on the other
members. The other bill is for tbe
reorganization of the state militia.
It provides for not more than seventy
five white companies and twenty
colored, with six white regiments and
two colored. The junior second lieu-*
tenants are done away with and three
majors assigned to each regiment.
The bill embodies Lieutenant Satter-
lee’s ideas. The offices of adjutant
general and inspector general are also
separated. At present Col. J. M. Kell

New York, Nov. 10.'—K. G- Dunn
& Co.'s Weekly review of trade to
morrow will say: “The turn of the
tide has come. Since tho elections
them has been a distinct improvement
in business, and particularly in man
ufacturing. There is some increase
in actual transactions and much more
in the tone of business. Men of all
parties feel that there is ground for
greater confidence, the silver question
being put definitely out of the way
and the chanqp of disturbing action
in other respects being lessened, while
the right of tho people to rule their
rulers has been vindicated.
Thousands of mil’s, factories and
workshops had been closed for months
by Senator Sherman’s “cowardly
makeshift,” but they might have been
reopened long ago, and the pressure
relieved, but for the failure of demo
cratic senators to do their duty. The
relief when offered came too late to
turn the political tido which had set
in stroDgly in all parts oi the country
against democratic incapacity and
mismanagement. Perhaps it is well
enough that it is so. The democratic
leaders, who have assumed to be wiser
than the President and the party,
needed a lesson, and they have receiv
ed it. The drubbing they have got
ten may do them good, and if it
teaches them a little sense fcwill save-
the party from disaster next year,
when defeat would be much rnoro se
rious.—Baltimore Sun (Dem.).
There are strong reasons for believ
ing that the contest for the Uuited
States senatorship in Georgia next
year will be between Speaker C. F.
Crisp and Hon. O. A. Bacoo. Both
men are exceedingly popular, and
either would reflect credit on Georgia
in the United States Senate.—Chatta

Hero is a valuable pointer for young
men: The best time to choose a wife
is early in the morning; if a damsel is
at all inclined to sulky and slatternly
way3 ;t is just before breakfast. As a
general thing woman does not get on
her easy temper uotil after io o’clock.
To meet her before that hour jou
would not know her to be the same
girl you met in the evening. Of course,
there are exceptions, but it isn’t safe
to take the chances—Lonsferd Re
cord.
There was only one state in which the
financial question was made the lead
ing issue, and that wss in Virginia.
In that state the populists were ar
rayed against tbe democrats. The
populists opposed die unconditional
repeal bill and demanded the free
coinage of silver at the present ratio.
And Virginia, grand old state that
she is, endorsed Mr. Cleveland’
policy For 50,000 majority.
The North Eastern railroad of
Georgia,running front Athens to Lula,
a distance of twenty-five miles, has
defaulted on its bonds. It now turns
out thatjthe state is an endorser for
8260,000 of these bonds or 815,000
per mile. The legislature will have 1
to take some action to protect the
state. 1. »
The Hawaiian matter has at last
reached the public. Secretary of
State Gresham says the provisional
government was established contrary
to public policy and international
obligations, under the cover of United
States Marines. He intimates that
the old government should be re
established.

Washington, D. C*, Nov. 9—The
Tobacco Manufacturers Association of
the United States' met in convention
here yesterday evening to protest
against the propoecd increase oi the
tax on mannfactnred tobacco. Many
southern and western tobacco manu
facturers were present.
They adopted resolutions protesting
against the increased tax and suggest

repeal of the revenue laws of 1890,
permitting tbe sale of leat tobacco di

Echoes From the Election.
Diacusriug the recent eU-ctioup, and
referring to two men who played
prominent parts in the coatee ot New
York and Iowa, the Macon Telegraph
says:
The Republican candidate for gov
ernor ot Iowa was a self-confessed
swindler, who has been disbarred
from practice before tho interior de
partment by .» Reptib lean adminis
tration for dishonest practices Never
theless his party rained to him and
elected him by a very large majority.
Apparently not a Republican in tho
state was deterred from voting for
him by his disgraceful record. ,
Xu New York the Dem<*cratic can
didate for judge of the court of ap
peals was a man of great talon t aud
au excellent record, except that fn his
eagerness to give the majority of the
people of the state control of its gov
ernment he allowed himself to com
mit an act which defeated the orderly
operation of the lair and nullified an
order of the court. It was an act
which ought to have disqualified him
as a candidate for the bench, fudges
should not be made oi men willing to
violate the law to gun apolitical ob
ject, even when the object is a worthy
one. Bnt tbe moral turpitude in
volved in Maynard’s act was. far
less than in Jackson's* attempt Lb
swindle an old soldier plient out of a
few hundred dollars on the false pre
tense that :is was necessary to bribe
tho officials of the pension bureau be
fore the soldier’s claim would be al
lowed. Nevertheless, 60,000 Dem
ocrats of Now York refused to vote
for Maynard and he was overwhelm
ingly defeated, dragging down with
him all the otbbr candidates on the
ticket
Which party showed the keener

defeats to elect a thief to office, know

I-i thcSouth, where the populists
and their sympathy rs have looked
for ar victory in Virginia, their crushing
defeat will have a good effect. Orta
ocrats who have teen disposed to
leave the’party ranks and work for
their favorite reforms in new organi
zations will now see how utterly hope*
less such a course would be. They
will come to the conclusion that their
onlyxhanceof securing the legislation
desired Is to stick to the d raocritcy,
and take part in and help shape party
movements and party policy. It they
adept this policy they will at least have
the satisfaction of aiding the party in

these pledges are carried out the mass*,

New York, Nov. 9.—It now looks
as if the Corbett Mitchell fight would
certainly come off io Florida. A cer
tified check for $10,000 has been re<
ceived by Richard K. Fox from the
Florida people, as a guarantee oi good
faith, and at a meeting to day of rep*
resentatives of both men, they agreed
to accept, providing the Florida Ath
letic Club deposit $5,000, to be divid-*
ed between the fighters as training
expenses if the fight'is not allowed to
come off.
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 9.—Additional
returns from Tuesday’s election swell
the republican pluralities and the pop
ulists, who were so hopeful yesterday,
concede that they have been badly
beaten. Sufficient reports have been
received by the newspapers and the
two state central committees, to war-
rant-the republican claim of a large
plurality of the great vote, and it will
probably appear that the victory
really a majority over both the populist
and democratic vote.
Key West, Fla., Nov. 9.—A rumi-r
was started here late this afternoon to
the effect that the long expected rev

place to-day at Cienforegos. It creas
ted no little excitement among the

be learned yet, but the steamer Mas-

Tho.Democratic party has nothing
to be ashamed ot in the contrast be

The Charleston News and Courier
has been quoting General P. M. B.
Young, minister to Guatamala, on tbe
attractions and advantages of that
country.
General P. M. R.‘ Young finds Gua
tamala a pleasant place to live in. He
writes to a friend in Augusta: “I be*
lieve if you could be here for a week
you-would never wish tD leaveli; jt is
so easy to make money if one just
puts in a little eucrgy. Just think
of having to plant sugar cane every
twelve or fifteen years and coffee every
twenty or thirty years. Two crops ot
corn a year and 100 fruits that we
have not. Thera is quite a variety of
good vegetables that grow on the
trees. The truth is that so much
grows without cultivation that the
poor will not work as they should.
There are but few plows used in this
country—only large hoes, mattocks
and a big knife.”
But there are drawback there,in fact
another side to the picture. There is
yellow fever in the country most of
the time, and it is as easy to find
snakes, tarantulas and soorpions as it
is to make money. They have a' rev*
olution every ten years and a hard
earthquake now and then acd the
storms are very severe. Excusing
these little drawbacks, the country
seems to be a veritable paradise.

the
Secretary of the State Gresham
talks right out by the status affairs in
Hawaii. Among other .things he
said: “It is not the policy of the

the rights oi other governments, nor
has it ever been. Neither is it the
policy of this government to be mo
lested by other governments without
protest. Tne American people al
ways stand for what they believe to
be right and honest. To dethrone
the queen was a dishonest act, and
this gavernment, loving liberty and

nothing left to be done but to act

Jackson Herald: In Virginia tie
issue was a square fight between dem
ocrats and populists. The democrats
everlastingly snowed under the popu
lists by immense ms jerries. The
democrats elected the governor, lieu-

and all the judges.
The victory in Virginia has never
been as complete since the war.
Heretofore the democrats have been
carrying the state by from five to fif

I notice that you advise turning under
crops just as matured. I would like to
know whether #10 character of the soil
should havo anjr influence in deciding
whether the crop should be turned under
green or after matured. C. ,C. S.,
Bartow County.
Tho geuoral doductlou that crops ben
efit the soil most when turned under
just when matured rather than when
green Is due tq the fact that when
plowed under green they produce an
acidity in the qoil from tho decomposi
tions that ia hurtful. This being the
coso, it is evident that, where the soil
abounds Ip alkhline matter, such as pot
ash and lime, no such Injury can result.
On this character o{ soil it may be ad
vantageous to turn tinder the green crop,
as the add is then harmless, and uniting
with the alkaline may release plant
food that otherwise might be useless to
vegetation. . In the Experiments con
ducted at the stato station, n6 marked
results in favqr of any particular time
of turning under crops was secured. In
our previous ahsWer to the question we
gave only the geu&al’ deductions drawn
by experienced ana scientific agricultur
alists without the qualifications that
