At certain times of the year freshets

the wails of their houses are broken in

®tr.
The Georgia State Fair will open this
year in thecitv of Macon on Oct 10th
and close Oct. 19th. We are informed .
the exhibits Will be far better this year j Dallgfctfal Place in Which to Spend the
than eTer before.
Usually there have been three coun
ties to enterfor the county display prizes.
This year tbv.e are eighteen counties al
ready. The prizes are: $1,(»j for the
first; $750 for the second; $500 for the
third, and a registered Jersey bull, worth
$100, given by the Macon Telegraph, for
the fourth.
For the county making the best and
largest display of its live stock a prize of
$*•00 is offered.
To.the county making the best ami larg
est display of minerals, $150.
Display of Georgia wood*, $1(X).
The individual displays in the Agricul
tural Department are: $160 for the first;
$50 for the second, and $25 for the
third.
Never were such handsome prizes off
ered at an agriculural fair. Special in
dividual prizes art offered on all articles,
such ns corn, cotton, peas, &c.. and all
the departments same as usual.
Our people should prepare f#r this
great Fair at once, and send some article.
Your are almost sure to win a prize of
some kind if you prepare a number of
articles.
The Fair is held under the manage
ment of the Georgia State Agricultural
Society, which wan organized at Stone
Mountain, Ga., in 184*). », d recognized
after the war in Macon; Ga., 18*59. The
Agricultural Society has accomplished
great good to the Slate, an l has held
nr.any successful fairs; most of them at
Macon, which citj has proven to be the
best place in the State for holding
fairs.
The Socioiy is coinpo.-ed of life mem
bers and lesser organizations throughout
the State, which elect <h legates in the
conventions twice each year, in February
and August. At the August meeting the
officers are elected. The officers consist
of a President, a Vice-President nt large,
a Vice-President from each Congression
al district, a Secretary, n Treasurer, and
an Executive Committee of three from
each district, who have in charge the
Fair and iis management. The Vice-
Presidents, Secretary and Treasurer are
ex officio member:', of the Executive
Committee.
So you will observe the Georgia State
Fair is no local or sectional association,
for the advancement of an)’ city or sec
tion, but to work up the State at large,
and it is as much our Fair as it is the
Fair of the city of Macon ar.d county of
Bibb. We bnvc as much interest in this
Fair as any cit zens of Georgia, and we
ask our citizens to put their shoulders
to the wheel
The various summer resorts in North

Rrllm of an Ancient Race.
Recent explorations in Spain by two
Belgian scientists have resulted in some
very interesting discoveries. Relics of a
prehistoric race have been found in great
abundahee. ranging from the stone age
to that of bronze and metalR. These
people buried their dead not only in
stones, graves and cells, but also in great
jars of burnt clay, accompanied by
, pieces of pottery and other articles of use
and value. This form of jar burial is
very widespread end examples have l>een
found from Japan to Peru. These relics
are supposed to lielong to that ancient

the Aryan immigration, the various
brandies of which are known as Iberian^
Pela*gians, Ligurians, etc., according to
the country in which they lived. Sev

To Give the C. A 1L the Right of Way
Through Her Limit*
In a very few days the city will have
tq decide the question of giving the right
of way to the Covington & Macon road.
Our council agreed to do so and wo arc
under moral obligations to fulfil their
contract
Macon gave the road 10 acres of land
valued at $20,000; 5 miles of old road
bed partially ironed which had cost$150-
000, the right of way into the city and
took $113,000 worth of stock.
Hillsboro, a little village of three hun
dred people, give the right of way ana
subscribed $3,OCO t3 the roid.
Monticcllo of twelve hundred people
made- a private subscription of $J,000
with which they ’; bought the right of
way and presented it to the road. Her
citizens likewise took $32,000 of stock at
par.
Madison gave the right of way besides
taking $53,000 worth of stock.
Athens so far has done nothing for the
road. It is true that the city of Athens
released the * Richmond and Danville
from an obligationJof $'J7,OUO on condi
tion of that read's making a southern
connection with Macon. The R. and J).
found that Col. Machen proposed to
lmild that connection nnU agreed to tak«
$97,000 of bonds on the completion of
the road to Athens. The bonds ol the
C. and M. are sold readily at about par,
so the C. and M. derives no benefit from
this contract with the R. and I). The
city of A then 3 is out $97,(XX), hut it has
not gonoto the C. and M., but to the R.
and D. railroad. The C. and M. is not
responsible for nor should it suffer on
account of any unfortunate obligations
the city has made with other parties.
The II. and D. authorities have given
CoL Machen official notification that they
are ready to take $U7,000 of his bonds,
but he is ir. no hurry to sell, as ho find?
no difficulty in placing them.
It is as little as the city can do to come
squarciy up to her agreement
the right of way to the C. and M. Many
of her best citizens have expressed the
selves as heartily in fivor of our doing
so.

The annals of crime in Clarke county
fail to present a more deplorable cue of
depravity than that of Joe Carter now
lying in jail under charge of incest with
his daughter. His case came up for pre
liminary trial Wednesday; bat his attor
ney,ll. 0. Tuck, waived trial and Carter
was pu under bond of $300 to appear at
the fall term of Clarke Superior Court.
The scene in the court yesterday was
both repulsive and pitiable. There was
old Carter hobbling on one leg; the oth
er having been shot off by his own son,
who is now prosecuting ais father for
incest with his daughter. There was
the wife and a sixteen year old daughter
who sympathized with their husband
and father. There was the older daugh
ter, twenty-six years of age, who is the
the victim, whether voluntary or other
wise, of her father’s animal lust, refusing
to speak to him and anxious for the stern
law to reek full vengeance fer the awful
crime. She was attended by a miserable
specimen of a child, the offspring of her
incestuous life.
Unable to give bond Carter was lodged
in jail to await trial. His crime is expi
ated by some on the grounds of igno
rance, bi t no man living in this land of
enlightenment can claim that he ruined
his own :hi!d through ignorance. The
only possible explanation of his crime, if
it be true, ar.d there seem to be no reas
onable grounds forany other supposition
is that his moral depravity is such that
he is bli'id to &U semblance of virtue.
If he be found guilty nothing but the ex
treme limit of the law can expiate such a
crime. Our social fabric, the very exis
tence of society,depends upon the purity
of the family tie and when such gross
violatior is discovered it should be staid
with the iron hand of a terribly aveng
ing law. #

Tuesday at noon a difficulty occurr
ed between Seaborn Dunstan and 11. N.
Prater at the Northeastern depot.
Dunstan had been arrested for running
a blind tiger by Deputy Marshal Jake
Arnold, of Jac on county, and on Mon
day he was carried to Gainesville to
stand a commitment trial before Com
missioner Gjston. At Lola the party
met 11. N. Prater, who was returning
from Gainesville, where he (bad given

knew any thing about DunsUn’s selling J help,
whisky. He said “yes.” Wbereupou '
he was served with a subpoena, and re- |
turned to Gainesville and gave evidence
against Dunstan. In the trial a case
was made against Dunstan, and he was
bound over under a bond of $150.
A party returned from Gainesville
yesterday. Dunston was much enraged
with Prater, and was wTsrheard to make
threats against him on the train. Up to
and since the trial he had said nothing to
Prater, and was in apparently good
humor. Immediately on the arrival of
the noon train,howover, Dunstan, accom
panied by Mr. Eugene Borders, his
brother-in-law, abused Prater for having
testified against him.
Words soon came to blows, when
Prater drew a long six shooter and
struck Dunstan a heavy blow over the
eye, catting a severe gash. About this
time the bus passed, and Prater called to
Capt. W. D. O’Farrell. Several gentle
men jumped out of the bos, and going

police headquarters for the 1 purpose of
arranging a bond for some of the negroes
who were arrested during yesterday
morning’s trouble on Decatur street.
Pledger was excited and preached a
little to the crowd of negroes who had
followed him to the station house. He
said:
“1 just want to live to take the stump
gainst barrooms and in favor of prohi
bition. The negroes were better off dur
ing prohibition, if there were a few blind
tigers in town then, than they are
Pledger’s remarks astonished his hear
ers, as he had made many wet speeches
during the last prohibition campaign, and
was a recognized anti-prohibition leader
among the negroes.—Evening Journal.

Aw Absent-Minded Railroad Conductor.
The greenest man I ever saw on a
railroad was a conductor of a surburban
passenger train that I rode on from St.-
Louis a few days ago. I guess ho vv:is
a cousin of some big official and had
lived in the woods all his life. Some
how I had expended more money than
I had calculated upon and when I took
my seat I found in my pocket but a
50-cent “shin plaster,”which I had
preserved as a memento. When the con
ductor came to take up tickets I hand
ed him this. I had pulled my hat over
my eyes iu a negligent way, but judge
of my surprise to hear the three famil
iar clicks and those repeated twice.
Then he walked away. I looked at him
in astonishment and asked him to stay
his hand. “What in the world are you
punching holes in that 50-cent piece
for? Give me my change.” “Why,” he
replied inoceutly, “I thought that was
oue of those now style lithograph tick
ets good for fifty miles and you wanted
to ride it out.”—St. Lou is l’ost-lJis-

of his cro;>, ami several other gentlemen

‘If the negro is not dying out in tho
agricultural districts,” said ono promi

He surely is not to be found.”
This sentiment is gaining ground.
Pass through any portion of the Slat

front you on all sides. To those farmers
who are largely dependent upon negro *
labor, the outlook is not very reassur
ing.

way to help it grow is to have money
