Atlanta, Ga., March 311802 —To the
people of Georgia: During the sission
nf tberec ns ngricuLural convention at
Uuthberr, the following piper, < ffered
by General Vice President Brad well,
was unamimoasly adopted by the exec
utive commit tee.
‘That committee of eight, consisting
of three members from Mac< n, at-d five
from the bslanoeofthe ex-cjunmittee,
be appointed by the president, to con
stitute the premium committee for the
state fair for the year 1892, and that the
said committee be empowered to make
all necessary arrangements for a fair at
Macon this fall provided the city of
Macon gives foil possession and con
trol of the fair grounds to the St .te Ag
ricultural Society, and to no other or
ganization, for the purpose of holding i
fair; and in event the city of Macon re
fuses to agree to the above, then the
premium committee be empowered to
hold the fair elsewhere, upon the best
terms they ct>n obtain. The president,
secretary and treasurer, to be ex-offlelo
members of said committee.”
In ob dience to the require m^nts of
this action the following premium com
mittee was appointed: J. MeBryan
-Philomath; James Barrett, Augusta,
T. J. Lyon, (Jartersville; W. T. McAr
thur, McArthur’*; J. A. Cobb, Ameri-
cus; M. J. Hate he., Jere Hollis, R. £
Park, Macon.
This codimittee, with the president,
secretary and Mcasuro, met in the city
of Macon and had a full, free and satis
factory coi f->rencs with Mayor Price
acd a committee from council, which
resulted in the establishment of pleas
ant and friendly relations between the
constituted authcr'.ti a of Macm and
the btata Agricultural Society. In
fact there has not existed for several
years such ctrdial feelings between the
sc citty and the people of the Central
City as at present. Macon possesses
many superior advantages for holding
astatefair:
1. It is the center of the State.
2. Its splendid railroad advantages
make it acoessable to every section of
the State.
3. A beautiful park in five minutes’
walk of the principal hotels.
4. Tbe weather in that section at the
time being all that con'd be desired.
For these and other reasons Macon
was selected as the permanent location
for the State fair. But it is in no sense
a local fair. It represents every sec
tion of the State, and is intended to
build up aud increase every industry
in the State. It is controlled by- offi
cers representing every congressional
district in Georgia. Its aim |u.-te-«de-
velup and i]lustrty£jGtaff§I&’s agricul
tural nweMChical, industrial, horticul-
and mineral interests
Surely then, there can
be no room for jealousies
Surely every patriotic citiz-m will aid
in making it accomplish the purpose
of its organization. Already many ap
plications for space have been received
and many letteis asking for premium
lists are daily coming iu evincing tk9
interest iu it. The premium litt adopted
by the committee is unusually gener
ous, and will soon be issued by the sec-
retary, te whom applications may be
made for copies. Address Dr. Samuel
Hape, secretary, Atlanta, Ga.
Additional interests attaches to the
fair of 1S92, by reason of the fact that
will be the last one before the great
lumbian exposition at Chicago, and
tbe. intention to select from it such
on exhibition of superior merit
and of ccu-perishable nature, to form
a nucleus for Georgia’s exhibit at the
wot Id’s fair.
No arrangement is required to de-
mi intrate the importance, the necessity
fer our state fair. So lODg as ‘.here are
waste places in Georgia. So long as
men and money are needed to reclaim
these and develop our dormant re*
sources. Solorg as we have sparely
settled sections, precluding tbe bless
ings of churches and schools—just so
long will it te necessary to illu.-trate
what we have and tbe possibilities of
our state.
Tbe agricultural soe’ety invites and
begs the hearty co-operation of county
cIuob, tbe state and county alliances,
stale and county horticultural societies,
manufacturers, suck aud cattle raisers,
all inU rested in mining and every pa
triotic citizen of Georgia, in making
this the best fair ever held in the South
Respectfully,
JOHN O. WADDELL, President,
All newspapers in Georgia, friendly
to the Suite Agricultural Society, and
which desires tbe suooess of the State
fair, are respectfully requested to pub
lish.

NOTES FnOM ABROAD.
The Most Important Happenings of a
Day in Other Lands.
London, April 1.—The Times has an
article reviewing the Behring sea dis
pute. The writer of the article com
ments on the fact that the matter has
no direct importance for the English
consumer of sealskins, to whom it mat
ters nothing whether the skins are ob-
tained from Canadians or Americans.
The writer says:
The controversy only concerns a semi-
independent colony that treats us as a
commercial enemy. These colonies are
always embroiling ns in foreign dis
putes. We are obliged to fight thei
battles, while they treat ub as a foreigi
power. How long is this to last? A
few more troubles like the Behring sea
controversy will compel us to face the
problem and seriously ask ourselves
whether the present relations between
the mother country and the colonies are
quite fair to the British taxpayer.
Fourteen Lives Lost.
London, April 1.—A collision, result
ing in the loss of fourteen lives, occur
red off the Isle of Wight. The British
bark Falls of Garry, from San Fran
cisco for Havre, via Queenstown, came
into collision with the British steamer
Thetis. The Falls of Garry was cat
nearly in two, and sank almost imme
diately. The crew of the Thetis hast
ened to assist tne wrecked seamen who
were straggling in the water, and suc
ceeded in saving sixteen of them. Four
teen were drowned.
COL. DORSEY RETIRES.
And He Is Presented With a Set of
Sliver Spoons,
AuensTA, Ga., April I.—
Colonel E R. Dorsey’s resignation as
general freight and passenger agent of
tbe Georgia railroad, goes into effect
tonight, and his successor, Mr. A. G.
Jackson, who comes from the Western
and Atlantic railroad, will arrive in the
morning from Atlanta to take charge.
The employes of the road, this after
noon, presented to Col -nel Dorsey, as a
token of esteem for him and in appreci
ation of his consideration for them, a
tet of solid silver spoons and a game
-and fish set of the finest Havil&nd Chi
os. It was a complete surprise to the
Colonel, who was unaware of what was
in store for him. Ths presentation was
made by Mr. Carlton Hillyer in his
happy style, and Colonel Dorsey’s re
sponse showed bis deep feeling and ap-
pr» ciation of the gift. Colonel Dorsey
will probably go to some nerthwestern
trunkline.
A ROMANCE.
She was fair—and tny passion begun!
Ske smiled—and I could not hut love!
But when from afar I detect* d catarrh,
No beauty my passiou could move!
In despair she sought doctors in vain,
Till she learned of “Humaoity’s boon;”
Now her bn alb is as sweet as tbe dew
Which falls upon rosis iu June.
To-night, as we sit in out home,
And l kiss her swict lips o’er and e'er,
__Wu bless Dr. Sage in our bliss,
For the joy that he brougnt to our doqg-J
There is no disease more tryipe JOuiend-'
ship than catsrrhl^Tbe-cofistanteffort to
clear th« throat ana nose, the foal breath,
all the features ot the disease, make it as
much dreaded by tbe (riend as by the
victim: Humanity has cause to bless Dr.
Sage for bis “Catarrh Remedy.” Tne

case they cannot cure.
attorney"JENERAL LITTLE.
Governor Northen Promotes the As
sistant to Succeed Dealer.
Atlanta, April 1.—Governor Ncr-
then has appointed Hon. W. A. Little,
of Muscogee,'.attorney general of tbe
State of Georgia, to succeed Hon. Geo.
N. Lester, deceased.

unable to attend to tha duties of the of-
, aLd at its laat session the lrgUla-
e created the office cf assistant to
the attc riS^HBr.-l, and elected Mr.
Little to that petition. -Mr. Litrie ha=,
therefore, been virtually the attorney
general during Judge Letter’s term.
The appointment will meet the ap
probation of every Georgian, and i3 a
to Just tribute to tLe ability and loyalty of
)lr. Little.
Bismarck’s Warning.
London, April 1.—The Paris corres
pondent of The Times asserts that
Prince Bismarck told a friend recently
that he had warned Emperor William
when he quitted the office of chancellor
that the artisans whom the emperor de
sired to regenerate would prove more
ungrateful than, courteous that he
might see even a repetition of the scenes
of 1848, when the Prussian sovereign
was forced to flee from the rioters.
Another Charge Against Him.
Melbourne, April 1.—The police here
believe they have discovered proofs that
Demming, in addition to his many other
crimes, murdered a man named Keys,
with whom he went to the Cape of Good
Hope from Australia in 1888." Dem
ming, they say, subsequently wrote to
friends of Keays in Sydney that Keays
had died in the Transvaal gold fields.
lh» 4aelph Fond.
Berlin, April 1.—The lower house of
the Prussian diet has passed the Guelph
fund bill, which provides for the remo
val of sequestration placed upon the
property of the late King George of
Hanover, and allows of the property be
ing turned over to the Duke of Cumber
land.
CONGRESSMAN MOSES EXPECTED
To be Present at the Carrolton Meet
ing—A $1,600 Fire.
Carrolton, Ga., April 1.—A lively
time is expected here next Tuesday, the
5th,politically speaking. The Democrats*
will hold a mass meeting, and the Peo
ple’s party will hold a big rally. Hon.
C. C. Po3t will make a speech that day
here, and Hon. Charles L. Moses, the
Fourth’s congressman, has been invited
and will probably be on hand to meet
the Third party chamoion. Hon. W
Y. Atkinson, chairman of the Demo
cratic State Executive committee, will
speak here the 11th of AprP.
The residence c-f Mr. B. F. Brown, of
this city, was burned this merning at 3
o’clock, The fire originated in ‘the
cookroom from the stove flue. Loss
about one thousand six hundred dollars
with a small insurance. Some of Mr.
Brown’s childien bad a narrow escape
from being burned in tbe he use.
FLORIDA FAVORED.
The Flacky Little Peninsula Gets Bob
■tanttal World’s Fair Aid.
Jacksonville, April 1.—Henry Flag
ler of New York, has subscribed $20,000
towards Florida’s World’s Fair fund of
$200,090 to ba raised upon the plan pro
posed by Arthur C. Jackson, that each
subscriber shall be given advertising
space in a paper to be distributed at the
exposition. Flagler donates all the
space accredited to him under liis sub
scription to a descriptive sketch of
Florida, reserving none for himself.
The plan is meeting with great suc
cess and the full amount of $200,000
will undoubtedly be raised. Governor
Fleming has announced the appoint
ment of Arther C. Jackson and Joseph
Hirst as commissioners for Florida to
take charge of the collection and dis
bursement of this fund. The old direc
tory has announced its inability to raise
$100,000 on the county apportionment
plan and is preparing to disband.
General Thomas Rises to Deny.
New York, April 1.—An article pub
lished in The World concerning the
Richmond Terminal met with denials
of the most positive character from al
the persons mentioned as connected with
the plan. The story in brief was to the
effect that General Thomas and Senator
Brice representing important interests
in the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia, had arranged, for a withdrawal
of that property from the Richmond
Terminal system, and had decided not
to deposit their securities with the Cen
tral Trust company, under the Olcott
reorganization plan. As the Richmond
Terminal holds almost a majority of
the East Tennessee stock, it is hard to
see how General Thomas or any other
security holder outside of that com
pany could effect its withdrawal from
the system. General Thomas made a
'most emphatic denial of the statement,
as did President Oatman.
GCTTHE MITTEN EVIR7 TIME
”1 can marry any girl I please,” was his.
exclamation, but unfortunately then hr
did not pi* ase any; and there was a plait<
reason for it. He had contracted (atarrb
of tbe worst form, and, although a wealthy,
educ ted, attractive person eveiy other
wav. bp was positively repulsive to bis
lady friends, a number of whom r»ji cted
his offers of marriage. A friend advised
him to use Dr. Safe’s Catarrh Rrnedy. He
took his advlc", aud now is the m<<8t popu
lar beau in town, aud he really can “m r y
any |oirl he pleases to ask. It made
his breath pure and swot be
has has 1 o headache, no effensive
discharges from tbe nose, in short, is in
perfect hea’th, and all from using a few
bottles of De. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy.
A SET ERE SrORM,
Swept Over Portions of the State of
Arkansas.
Kansas City, April 1.—A severe
wind storm has passed over a portion of
Kansas. The details are meager, but
it is known tb/.t considerable damage is
done. The storm seems to have first
taken on the character of a cyclone near
Lyons, Kansas.
It passed northeast of the town and
did little damage to buildings, but at
tained sufficient velocity to uproot sev*
oral trees on the outskirts of the town.
At Salipa it was still more severe and
caused greater damage, d ’ >g- a
number of outbuildings it o'
the town.
The storm greatly iut>
the telegraph facilities, ther t
a workable wire to Denver from any
point east of Topeka, Kan., all night
after 7 o’clock and no wire, whatever,
after 10 o’clock.
The city in fact was completely iso
lated from the east after the latter hoar
so far as telepraph communication is
concerned.
A Headstrong Son.
Bra Stone Gap, Va., April 1.—The
oldest son of Senator J. F. B. Mills, a
high-spirited lad of 17, has disappeared.
Until last week he attended the Stonega
academy, a preparatory school for Har
vard and Yale, at this place. At that
time a difference of opinion arose be
tween him and his father on the subjec
of cigarette smoking, and George left.
He was last seen in company with a
man who is said to be a sharper. His
father fears that he will be led astray,
and has detectives scouring the country
for him.
THE CENTRAL EMPLOYES.
They Get Their February Pay and Old
Time Confidence Returns.
Macon, Ga.,' April 1.—Macon em
ployes of the Central railroad have been
paid off, and confidence in the new Cen
tral railroad is to that extent restored
An order was issued by Judge Speer to
the board of receivers directing that the
anion depot here be rebuilt at once.
W, C. Sheftall, a conductor on the
Central railroad, who was discharged a
few days ago, complained to Judge
Sprer that the discharge was because
he complained, before the appointment
of a receiver, that conductors were
overworked. The court at once order
ed the man’s reinstatement, if such was
the cause of the discharge.
Augusta, Ga., April 1.—A check has
been received from Savannah, and all
the Augusta emj loyes of the Central,
railroad were paid off their February
salary in full. The pay roll in Augusta
amounts to nearly fifteen thousand del
lars a month.
Savannah, Ga., April 1.—The fixed
charge of $150,000 resulting from the
lease c-f the Georgia rai'road, was
promptly met. A part of the amount
was borrowed for this purpose. What
the exact amount borrowed was, Presi
dent Comer declines to state. No trou
ble was experienced in securing the
money, and he says the Central can get
whatever money it may seed at any
time, without any difficulty. Orders
have be n sent out to all rgeits all over
the state which practically re-es’ablish
tho shipping regulations in force prior
to the leasing ef the road.
A STEAMER BURNED.
A Young Lady drowned In an Attempt

Cincinnati, April 1.—Just as the

Main street landing fire broke out on

special committee, the standing com
mittee on eleventh census was abun
dantly able to conduct the inquiry. He
offered an amendment putting the in
