Next Convention to be Held In

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 cotton crop is not in each a bad

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

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

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

ution:
Rceolved by the house of rej-iesentatlves ol

the passage ot a stay law would be unwise, and
detrimental to the best Into.eats .of the state.
The resolution was unanimously

to go to the agricultural college at
Dablonega.
Mr. Kemp, of Emanuel, has introduc

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.”

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

county, and also his resolutions about
“The Wife’s Farm.” All were unan
imously endorsed. After the gathering
