IN RESOLUTIONS PARSED on Various Subjects of lnterest-The Next Convention to be Held In Cuthbert—Closing Scenes of the Convention end then the Adjournment. President John O. Waddell. Tha t is the way it went yesterady at the meeting of the Agricultural Society. Ti,e dill-rent candidates worked far into the night and their friends were active and zealous in their cause. When the convention came to order w j. tl Mr. Brad well in the chair, a look of half-way satisfaction was stamped on the faces of the WaJdeil men and they termed to be tolerably certain of vic tory. Hon. I.. F. Livingston in a short speech placed before the convention the name of Col. John O. Waddell, of l>„]k. This was received with loud applause. Hou. W. H. Felton, of Macon county, in & few appropriate remarks, nomina te«H apt. John A. Cobb, of Sumter. Another burst of applause. Hon. A. O. Barry, of Cuthbert, nomi nated in a short speech Mr. A. Q Moody, of Thomas, which was applaud ed. to the declar- <everal seconds were made nominations and the ballot was e.l in order. .Messrs J. J- Lampton, A. O. Barry, -Hid K E. l’ark were appointed tellers, t hen came the Urst lively tilt of the The question was raised as to whether a plurality or a majority was required Mr. Nesbitt, of Bibb, moved to make it a majority, and Mr. Branch, ot Columbia moved to table it. This looked like tbe Waddell forces w ere afraid and thus wanted the plu rality rule. But they didn’t know th.ir strength as subsequent events proved. Mr. Livingston spoke in behalf of the plurality. Mr. X* sbitt demanded the reading of of the Constitution, but it developed that the Constitution was silent upon the question involved. The motion to table went to a vote and was lust. Division was called, but Mr. Livingston, evidently not desiring a test vote to be so plaiu requested the withdrawal of the request for division. Then came a lively tilt between Nesbitt and Livingston on the quest-on of majority rule. The balloting finally proceeded and all the ballots were in. The tellers commenced the count. Everybody was silent and listening. “Waddell,” called Mr. Barry. A faint applause. Then came four more Waddell votes in succession, and then one for Cobb, one for Waddell, two for Cobb, one for Moody and then Waddell again. And so it went, until when the count was half through it became apparent that Waddell was sweeping on to vic tory. The counting was fiuished and the vote annou ced. It stood: Waddell, 147; Cobb, 54; Moody, 40; The house shook with applause, when Capt. John A. Cobb obtained the door ami moved to make Col. Waddell’s elec tion unanimous, which motion was carried. A committee consisting of Messrs. Tom Lyon, J. A. Cobb and A. Q. Moody w as appointed to notify Col. Waddell of his election and conduct him to tbe hall. They soon appeared and Col. Waddell was greeted with applause. He then addressed the convention in a few appropriate re marks. He said that it was a pleasure to stand before them and that it was heightened by the fact that throughout the whole race he felt no unkindness to anyone. It was further heightened because be stood in the chapel of the in s'itution in whose halls he had spent h‘» boyhood, and in tbe city in which he enlisted tor service in as gallant a company as ever went to battle, a com pany that in the person Hon. Pope Bar- row had furnished a U. S. Senator, in Henry U. Carlton, a congressman; and iu A. Hemphill and Howell Cobb two noble and true Georgians of prom! nence. lie again thanked them for the honor conferred upon him. Hon. S. D Bradwell, of Liberty, was elected by a unanimous vote to be gen eral vice-president. The convention took recess for five minutes to consider the appointment of vice-presidents and members of the ex eentive committee. After this had ex- pi red, the convention came toorder and the recommendations made were rati fied by the convention. At this juncture a personal discussion arose between Mr. M. L. Branch, of Co- ‘utnbia, and Capt. R. E. Park, of Ma c °», in which some rough language was used. It was dually adjusted ami cably and the convention expunged the remarks from the minutes. Hon. c. R. Pringle delivered an ad- dress on forestry, and Mr. J. M. Bryan, of Oglethorpe, also spoke. Dr.g d Newton then arose and of fered a set of resolutions. 1 he convention endorsed tbe resolu tion in regard to nomination by tbe said commissioner shall act as cor respondent of tbe .Experiment Station uiq t . h ® Sute Agricultural Society, the United 8tates Department of Agricul ture, and the State College of Agricul- fcuic tod Mechanic arts. He shall establish in bis county a bu reau of information, both of agriculture and commerce. He sball-bave some knowledge on geology, chemistry, botany and clim atology. In fact he shall represent all of the agricultural interests of bis county, and serve tbe people of his county in any way, in the fields of ag riculture in his power. The second bill only changes the name of the commissioner of agricul ture to that of secretary. The two bills are now before the legeslature. An invitation from Cuthbert to the convention to bold its next meeting there was read and . after a speech of Mr. Edwards of Randolph, was accep ted. A committee was appointed to confer with the State Allianoe in regard to the calling of a cotton convention for the Southern States to take into considera- ton tbe decrese in acreage of tbe cotton crop. Dr. E. D Newton, of Clarke, intro duced the following resolutions: Whereas, the Press and our Econo mists have, in vain, for the past twenty five years, cried aloud for Diversified Agriculture and Home products for the farm. An -vhereas.the crowning glo ry of the civilization of our Southland rests upon our chivalric treatment of our fair women, and as this chivalry can be fully illustrated by the husband, in tbe economy of the farm, as well aa in social life Be it Resolved, That we respectfully and earnestly urge each and every far mer in Georgia to survey from bis farm from five to ten acres of "land, adjacent to bis dwelling, said acreage to be known as “The M ife’s Farm” and that it shall be devoted exclusively to the culture, on the intensive plan, of grain, grasses and vegetables, to supply an abundance of food for the table, feed for the horses and mules, for poul try and pigs of the barnyard, and for the gentle Jerseys of Site dairy. 2nd. That the husband shall pledge his wife, that he and all of his employ ees shall work in said 4 Wife’s Farm” one half hour, or one hour each work ingdayof the year before breakfast, whilst tbe wife is cooking or haying *ame prepared. 3rd. Resolved, That we consider this an easv solution of the vexed question of commercial independence, content ment and happiness of our Southern farmers. 4th. Resolved, That speaking and acting by proxy for the wives, the daughters, the mothers and sisters of tbe farmers of Georgia we hereby nom inate and elect Mrs. W. H. Felton, of Bartcw, the fr en l of Agriculture in Georgia, President of “The Before Breakfast Club” of Georgia and hereby authorize her to organize a similar club in e«ch and every county of our state. Resolutions were adopted unani mously. A resolution of thanks to citizens of Athens and to the railroads for courte sies extended was passed unanimously by a rising vote. And then the convention adjourned to meet in Cuthbert six months hence. Most of the delegates went off yester day afternoon, some remaining in the •city however, until today. The conveution was a busy one and a success in every way. THE VETERANS' HOME. THE STATE WILL PROBABLY AC CEPT AND MAINTAIN IT.

The cotton crop is not in each a bad condition as one might suppose. A Banner reporter interviewed large number ot farmers, in attendance upon the Agricultural Society yester day, and coming from every section of the State. Each one was asked as to the condition of the crop in his section The result of the Interviews revealed the facts that there is a slight decrease in the acreage of the crop as compared to last year. The crop is somewhat late but the prospects in most sections are favorable to a large crop being market ed. A great deal depends on the seasons, however. Rust and boll worms have made their appearance in but few sections and little damage is anticipated from these sources. The crops around Athens arc about fifteen to twenty per cent off as compared with last year. The corn crop all around is reported as very fine and far above the average The farmers as a general rule are hap py ovei the prospects of good «srops GANTT'S IDEA Of What Makes up the Agricultural Society Larry always has something readable on almost any given subject, and in treating of the meeting of the Agricul tural Society, he has these reflections to make concerning those who make up the convention. He says In substantiation of this, I will state that a few years ago Elbert county, in that body was represented by my es teemed friend, Col. John P. Shannon Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 13.—{Special ]— Today was a quiet one in the House. Nothing occurred of an exciting nature to disturb the tranquility which has settled upon all the members after the exciting and interesting develop ments of yesterday’s session. Mr. Sears, of Webster, introduced today a resolution which provided for a committee to look into tbe business be fore the General Assembly, and to hasten action on all important general measures now before that body. On motion it was referred to the committee on rales, which means that the majori ty of the members are in no hurry to adjourn. Senator Lane’s bill to provide for a board of equalization of real rnd per sonal property subject to taxation in this state was the special order for tins morning. Mr. Roberts, ot Douglas, wanted to amend by making the compensation $2 per day instead of $3. Mr. Davis, of Burke, was opposed to the amendment. He said that the very best business men were wanted on this board and they would not serve for $2 per day. Mr. Swain, of Gordon, was opposed to the measure, as he thought it was the duty of the grand jury to take action in eases where property was not properly returned, and in his section that waj what was done. Mr. Calvin, of;Richmond said the bill proposed to reach personal property it ought to bring men up to a proper standard instead of letting them fall be low it. He was strongly in favor of tbe meas ure and boi>ed it would pass without opposition. Dr. Mattox, of Clinch, and Mr. Har deman, of Wilkes, made a few remarks in favor of the bill, and the previous question on the amendments was then called. Mr, Robert’s amendment to change the daily compensation of members cf the board was lost. Several unimpor tant amendments were adopted and the bill was then passed. The bill which provides for the accep tance of the Confederate vetreans’ home has been recommendad favorably by the finance committee, and was this mor ning made the special order for next Wednesday. Mr. Huff has introduced a hill to make additional appropriation for the fiscal year of 1S91 and 1892, to supply the deficiencies in several appropi iatious for tbe support of the government. The committee to investigate charges against certain members, alleged to have offered to sell their votes in tbe senatorial election consists of Messrs. Oattes, chairman.

Monroe, Aug. 14 .—Special].—Yes terday was a big Alliance day here. A large crowd bad assembled and in- the morning listened to a speech by Rev Atlanta, Ga., August 14 —[Special.] —The first thing this morning was a motion to reconsider action on the bill by Dr. Chappell, of Laurens, provid- ng for the payment for live stock killed to prevent the spread of.,eontagioas diseases. Dr. Chappell and Mr. Mattox, of Clinch, made short speeches advocating the measure, and endeavoring to show that the bill would save money to the State, instead of being a useless expen diture. The ayes and nays were called on this motion, and the bill was restored to its place on the calendar by a vote of 66 to 51. Mr. Broadnax, of Walton, introduced a bill to prevent the sale of liquor on the capitol grounds or within a radius of three miles of the capitol building. This would make Atlanta a prohibition town. Its violation is a misdemeanor. Mr. Craigo, of Gilmer, attached an amendment which says “except for medicinal and scientific purposes.” Through Mr. Calvin, the Savannah River Association sent in an invitation io the speaker and members of the house to send a delegation to that Asso ciation which holds its third annual convention in Augus ta ou Nov. 19th. Mr. Beruer sent in the following reso- ution: Rceolved by the house of rej-iesentatlves ol Georgia that it la the aen^e of this house that the passage ot a stay law would be unwise, and detrimental to the best Into.eats .of the state. The resolution was unanimously adopted amidst deafening applause. The bill has been tabled on account of opposition in tbe committee, and m all probability it will not be heard of again at least for some time. A bill was introduced appropriating 43,000 annually to the State University to go to the agricultural college at Dablonega. Mr. Kemp, of Emanuel, has introduc ed a bill to regulate the freight charges which railroads in the state shall make on shipments between points in state, when such shipments are oa two or more con necting lines. It provides that the rate shall be the same as if the lines were one continuous.road. Mr. Bunson, of Burke, introduced bill to amend the constitution so that new counties might be created. It pro vides for the repeal of that paragraph of the constitution preventing such creation of new counties, and leaves the amendment for ratification by the peo ple after it has been passed by a two- thirds vote iu the general assembly Local bills were then taken up and put on passage. Mr. Fleming’s bill to repeal an act ra tifying an ordinance of the city of Augusta to create a sinking fund in that city was passed. Mr. Williams’ bill providing impor tant legislation for tbe city of Augusta was taken up an 1 passed. It authorizes the city to appoint the orderly sergeant of police, or suob oth er person as they see fit clerk of the Re corder’s court, and to repeal the act providing that the clerk of the council shall be clerk of this court. It also confers certain jurisdiction upon this court in certain cases. It further authorizes the city counci 1 to subscribe for stock in certain rail roads. It authorizes the connection,of certain railroads in Augusta and per mits the Savannah Valley Railroad Company to cross the Savannah river. It also provides for the registration of tbe legal voters in tbe city of Augustn IN the senate. The action of the Senate in defeating Mr Whitfield’s bill to require proprie tors of gin houses to keep a public re cord was reconsidered on motion of Senator Culver. The bill by Mr. Clifton of Chatham to pay jurors in city courts tbe same fee as in superior courts, was passed. The bill which provides for the ap pointment of an assistant Attorney- General duing the sickness of tbe pres ent Attorney-General was passed. The bill to amend section 3409 of the code so as to make officers of mutual and benefit societies agents, was pass ed. This is an importrnt measure, as here tofore there has been no way to bring suit against these societies as they have no agents. Tbe bill amending the charter of the city of Athens was passed. An important amendment was in troduced to the bill prohibiting the sale of liqnor within three miles of any church or school,house except in in corporated towns. Tbe amendment provides that liquor may be sold within such limits in origi nal packages, or in amounts not less th*n ten gallons. Lewis Sam Jones is delivering a series of sermons in New York and is attracting a great deal of attention. Thousands go ont to hear him and his sermons are full of his sparkling wit and bright originality. Speaking of a sermon preached by Mr. Jones a few days since the New York Herald says: Between Sam Jones and the weather things were seizlinghot at Prohibition Park yesterday. What the tempera ture and the humidity did between them to make mankind uncomfortable no one who had the misfortune to be on Manhattan Island yesterday need be told. That Sam Jones did not help to cool matters at all will be understood when it is stated that be is the man of whom it has been said:— He is a holy terror to evil doers. No one ever heard such blistering, scorch ing words. He makes it blazing hot for cheats and hypocrites in religion,frauds in business and in politics. His tongue is the sword of the avenging angel.” Notwithstanding tbe caloric nature of the atmosphere about the Park yester day it was frequented by crowds all day long, many of whom were forced to walk the mile and a half of dusty road between Port Richmond, S’aten Island, and tbe Park itself. Mr. Jones chose his text from St. John, iii., 3—“For God sent not His Son iDto the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” - Mr. Jones first thanked God for hav ing allowed him to speak to tens of thonsands of people in forty States and in many of the prov inces of Canada, and incidentally for having given such a text from which to speak. He said the text was a message of love and that it was as natural fo> God to love as it was for the sun to shine. After having explained the full nature and strength of God’s love and what the Christian should do in return for it, Mr. Jones approached tbe front of the platform and said:— Do you know that many men get below dogs and other brutes ? What! you don’t know that? Then let me ex plain. ‘When I return to my home at night my dog comes out to me and leaps up to me and kisses me in dog fashion, saying a3 plainly as he can ‘I lov> you. ’Then I say to him. "Why do you ' love me so?’ immediately he tells me, as well as he can, ‘It is because you are so good ti me, and when you go away yon [tell the children to see no harm comes to Fido.’ “There, you see, is a little dog who. becanse I am good to him, feels that hi must love me in return. Well, God 1 >ves all his children yet think how many there are who do not love Him Well, my friends, all of them are be neath the dogs. Yes, yon great big ol<> sinner over there, come out from under the dogs,” shouted the preacher, point ing at nobody in particular. “Tbe old question used to be, 'are you a married man or a dog?’ Now it is, ‘are you a marriad man or a Chris tian ?’ If many of you fellers never felt like a dog you never felt natural. “Now let us take helpful love. We all know what it is to want help. A man prays God to help hin bring up his children well. Then he will go out and vote with tbe red nose democrat or tbe fat paunched republicans,instead of say ing, Lord, you have helped me and now "’ll help you.” vote whisky down. “I said to a lot of Alliance people | down in Mississippi recently:—‘Yon don’t know enough. Whenever tbe | democrats or republicans play the ras cal, yon will play tbe fool.’ Now I say the same thing of tbe prohibitionists There is only one way to put down whiskey, and that is by votes, and God does not vote “In New York there are plenty of I prohibitionists for 364 davs in the year, j but when it comes to the 365th. day they say. ‘just excuse me a minute un- | til I help put my party through. the devil driver. “Then there is sympathetic love, and there can be no love without sympathy. Yon all know that certain type of I preacher who proceeds something in this way:—‘Here am I, Jeremiah Jones, ] D. D , saved by the grace of God, with a message to deliver. Believe and be j saved, or do tbe other thing and be damned—and I don’t care much which.* If any college ever confers on me I the degree of D D. I will sne them for damages unless it be understood that | the term may mean ‘Sam Jones, devil driver. We need a lot of devil drivers, I but I hope none of them will ever get | where I once saw a dog hunting a fox. The dog was in front. Try BLACK-DRAUGHT tea lor Dyapepd* Livingston, Brown and Newton make Speeches. The Alliance rally at Bishop yester day was a very enthusiastic one. A large crowd was present and all were highly interested in the occasion. Congressman Livingstou spoke first and was applauded vigorously through out t‘>e speech. Mayor Brown in ide a great hit in his speech in behalf of tbe principles of the Alliance. Dr. E. Dl Newton, in response to call8, spoke to the farmers. He read his resolution concerning the elevation of Commissioner of Agricul ture, to be Secretary of Agriculture, also his bill to provide for appointment of Agricultural Commissioners in each county, and also his resolutions about “The Wife’s Farm.” All were unan imously endorsed. After the gathering had broken up, Mayor Brown, Dr. Newtor, and Mr. J. B. Hattaway, of Athens enjoyed a ride with Mr. and Mrs. Earl Overby to their home in Wutkiusville where they were enter- taiued with adelicious lunch. The whole affair was highly enjoya ble.' MR.
