An Atlanta dispatch says: A Gentle man who was at Salt Springs Saturday night gives an ainuring account how a young man was duped on that celebrat ed prohibition beverage known as rice beer. This beer is sold in tbe chautauqua grounds in bottles and is a very popular drink among the Atlanta people, being akin to the genuine lager. Enough of the liquid, when drank, will surely "make drunk come,” as evidenced it the cafe below. That celebrated Brook lyn divine Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, is spending a few days at the chautauqua, where he is one of the chief attractions. Accompanying him is his son, De Witt, Jr., a young man of about seventeen; a handsome fellow, but not of the same stern disposition as h>s father. He was beguiled into trying rice beer and got too mellow—Augusta Chronicle. Charitable Objects. Athens is besieged with beggars from the surrounding counties who come here and put up the most pitiful tales of woe. These beggars should be taken care of by their own counties, as it is too much of a strain on the merchants of Athens to have to chip into every charitable object that comes along. A negro woman from Oconee was in Athens yesterday asking the merchants to give her a small amount to assist in taking care of her husband, who, she said, was an invali J.

Tho Anglican church of New South Wales has resotved to rai3© $1,000,000 Iu five years to commemorate centennial year, and have made a Btart with $230,- 000.

Under the enlightened and progressive policy of its Executive and Congress, the Repubtic of Mexico during the last few years has granted concessions to promote the development and settlement of that country so richly endowed by nature in the resources of the soil, the frrest,field and mine, and blessed with all the advan tages of a salubrious climate and geogra phical location. One of the most important and valua ble of the concessions has been secured by the Mexican Land and Development Company whose advertisement appears elsewhere, by which is acquired the ownership of one-third of the public do main in tbe State of Tamaulipas amount ing to several million acres including agricultural, mineral, timber and grazing lands. utnaulipas is the eastern State of Mex ico and is bordered by the Gulf if Mexi co and the Kio Grande River, its north east coma' being opposite the city of Brownsville, Texas, thus immediately ad joining the United States. There are many portions of tho state that are not surpassed in fertility and beauty any where in the world.* The climato is sal ubrious, with an average rain fall for ten years of thirty three inches per year, th** soil is rich, and it abounds in valuable timber and large deposits of iron, oil, coal and the precious metals. Still in its primitive condition there is an opening here for all industries from the smith shop to the great iron, cotton and wool-n factories. From the primitive wagon road to the iron horse and steel rail; from the wild animal of the forest to the high bred cattle and sheep of the field; from the primitive methods of agriculture to the steam plow and mower and reaper; from the common huts for human habita tion to the prosperous farm house and the thriving town atid city; from the con ditions of the sixteenth century to the civilization of to-day. The ultimate results of this enterprise with intelligent management must be that a committee ot five be appointed bv the chair to notify the Hon. 11. U. Carl ton of bis nomination and ask his accept ance in writing. The following com mittee was appointed: J. VV. Chspinan, B. F. Camp, L. B. Willis, L. II. O.Martin, W. W. Scott. Hon. B. F. Camp moved that a com mittee of three be appointed to drtft i©solutions expressing the sympathy of the convention for the Hon. H. 11. Carl ton in the loss of his father, J. R. Carl ton. The motion was seconded by Mr. J. W. Chapman, of Wilkes, and the fol lowing committee appointed*: B. F. Camp, Fope Barrow, J. W. Johnson.
