counties.
Poultry and pet stock come in for
nearly $2,000 in premiums. This
guarantees the finest show of fowls
ever mado in the south. Liberal pre

every character. A copy of the pre
mium list will be mailed upon appli
cation to T. H. Martin, Secretary,
Prudential Building, Atlanta.

Atlanta at Piedmont park, beginning
August 18th and ending August 27tli.
This will be the first annual south
ern campmeetiug of the Christian alli
ance and will be attended by people
from all over the south. It is the pur
pose of those interested in tho meeting
to make it one of the largest religious
gatherings this section has ever known,
and active preparations have been in
progress for some time and will con
tinue until the time of the meeting.
The alliance has secured Piedmont
park and the free use of the buildings’.
Matters will Iffe so arranged that a
great number of families can camp on
tho grounds, and a number of tents,
the property of the alliance, will be
brought south and placed at the dis
posal of the visitors.
While campmeetingsof this kind un
der the auspices of the Christian Alli
ance are neld every summer in the
north and east, none have yet been
held in the south. At tho last meet
ing held in New York city it was de
termined that a meeting should bo
held in the south. After looking over
the entire field, Atlanta wns selected
as tho most couveuient point, and
preparations were at once begun to
make the meeting a notable one. The
place of meeting will not he changed
yearly and the annual southern camp
meeting will be held in Atlanta everv
year.
The meeting will be attended by a
large number of world famous evangel
ists who will address tho sessions.
These ministers will come from nil
parts of tho country, and will ho aid
ed by the local ministers who are
friendly to the Christian Alliance
movement.
The Christian Alliance held a meet
ing in Atlanta in March, and at that
time a number of prominent ministers
were present. These will attend the
campmeeting and will be accompanied
by othei s.
liev. A. It. Simpson, Stephen Mer
rist, LeLaelienr, the famous mission
ary; Revs, Wilson, Millard, Ollsou,
the South American missionary Hous
ton, Holmes, J. M. Pike, Miller, Fife,
Shaw and Todd, in addition to many
others. Miss May Agnew and Miss
Mattie Perry will also ho preseut.
The Ohio quartet and a number of
other musical clubs, assisted by local
taleut, will furnish the music. The
meeting promises to be largely attend
ed and will attract considerable atten
tion.

Anxious to Honor Brumby.
The Brumby sw< r 1 fund will be
closed in a few days, as soon as all the
parties written to have sent in replies.
All of the (ieorgia congressmen have
been heard from and without exception
they have sent a dollar to the fund.
A great number of the state legislators
have also been heard from and a full
list of them will be published us soon
as they all have time to reply.
The students of the University of
Georgia are raisiug a list to be added
to the fund by getting small subscrip
tions from the boys. Lieutenant
Brumby was at one time a student of
the university and the boys iu Athaus
' are takiug a lively interest in the move
ment to present him with a sword.
Lists have been received from Dal
ton, Marshal ville, Washington and
Thomasville. Several towns have re
ported that they will send in good
lists. There are still a few towns to
be heard from and the committee is
anxious that they report as soon ns
possible, as it is his desire that the
list be closed as soon as possible.
Lieutenant Brumby is expected home
the latter part of July or the first part
of August, and the committee wants!
to have the sword ready for presenta
tion by the time he arrives.
The fnud is rapidly reaching hand
some proportions and the sword or
dered will be one of the most elegant
in the country.

Dispute Over County Dine*
Gwinnett and Walton comities have
a boundary dispute. About 14,000
acres of land are involved. The loca
tion of tho nourishing town, Loguns
villc, is involved, and it is claimed
that the town belongs to Gwinnett in
stead of to Walton county.
Logansville has a population of
about 000 and since the ouening of
the new railroad through Lawrence
ville has taken on new life aud shows
evidence of prosperity and rapid
growth. It is said that the people of
Logansville hope to be thrown on the
Gwinnett side of the line, as they
have railroad communication with
Lawrenceville, the county seat of
Gwinnett, but have none to Monroe,
the county seat of Walton.

Foul Play Suspected.
The relatives in Atlanta of Alexius
Balk, who died in Havana several
months ago, have been informed that
suspicious circumstances surrounding
his death indicate foul play, and they
are doing all in their power to bring
the guilty parties to justice. Mr. Balk
was well known in Atlauta, having
been connoted with a prominent firm
in that city as traveling salesman.

Harmony Prevail*.
The last semblance of discord be
tween the Consolidated Street Railway
Company and the Traction Company
at Atlanta was done away with when
cases 30 and 37, know'n as the Atlanta
Street railway eases, on the docket of
the supreme court, were formally dis
missed by request of attorneys for
both companies. The two cases were
among the first to be placed on the
docket of the Atlanta circuit, hut w'ere
subsequently moved to the heel of the
docket.

JACKSONVILLE LOST FIQHT.
Amendment To Change Florida Capital
Killed In the Legislature.
Tho proposed constitutional amend
ment to remove the Florida state cap
itol from Tallahassee to Jacksonville
was killed in the Louse of representa
tives after a long debate. Hon. Frank
Clark, McWilliams and Speaker Mc-
Namee spoke favoring the measure,
while Judge Raney and Colonel Nat
Welker opposed it. These gentlemen
are the best orators in the house and
crowds from both Jacksonville and
Tallahassee tilled the hall and lent ex
citement to the notable scene.
It was the liveliest day of the session
since the senatorial contest. There
were thirty-seven votes for Jackson
ville and thirty for Tallahassee, but a
three-fifths vote was needed to submit
the amendment to the people, so
Jacksonville lost.
NO SCENES ENACTED
At the Opening of the Dr*yfus Trial
In Paris.
A Paris special says: The Dreyfus
affair appears to have lost the power
of producing any unusual excitement.
The scene in the court of cassation
when that body met Monday to hear
the debates in the application for a
revision of the Dreyfus case had all
the aspects of a solemn religious cere
mony, and the elaborate precautions
tq prevent the expected riotous dem
onstrations proved quite unnecessary.
Nothing indicated that anything unus
ual was happening iu the assembly.
FLORAL TRIBUTES REJECTED.
G. A. R. Committee Creates a Sensation
At Columbus, Ohio.
There was an unfortunate incident
of Memorial Day in Columbus, 0.,
which was a direct slight to the Con
federate veterans, aud which has cre
ated a sensation in local G. A. R. cir
cles. The snub consisted of the re
fusal of a magnificent floral tribute ten
dered by the southerners, to be placed
oil the graves of the Lnion dead in
Green Lawn cemetery. The tribute,
in view of the events of the past year,
was peculiarly appropriate, represent
ing the north and the south grasping
the Union flag.
The tender was made by ex-Confed
erates who appreciated the efforts
which have been made to cement the
north and south, but when the matter
was laid before the general floral com
mittee representing the G. A. R. posts
they declined to accept it. Before the
matter could be brought before the
general membership of the different
posts and undone, the design was ac
cepted by the Ex-Soldiers’ and Sailors’
association, who used it in their exer
cises during the day.
The marshal of the parade had in
vited the ex-confederates to partici
pate in the exercises of the G. A. R.
and quite a number of them ap
peared before they learned of the
snub. They withdrew immediately,
but joined the ex-soldiers and sailors.
There is great indignation among
the various members of the G. A. R.
posts, and the southerners have been
assured that the action of the commit
tee represented only individual opin
ion, and is not the spirit of the vari
ous posts. It is highly probable that
action will be taken in regular form to
disavow the work of the committee.
PROMINENT CITIZEN MISSING.
Athens, Ga., Bank Cashier Benedict
Mysteriously Disappears.
John A. Benedict, cashier of the
Exchange bank of Athens, Ga., has
disappeared and his friends fear that
he has either lost his life by accident
or has met with foul play somewhere
near Greenville, S. C.
To those who do not know him the
first impression w’ould be that some
thing was wrong with his bank affairs,
but there is not the least suspicion of
anything like this.
Asa matter of fact, the books of the
bank, the cash and everything con
nected with it has been examined and
found to be correct, both by the state
bank examiner and by President Bai
ley, of the bank.
A dispatch from Greenville states
that he disappeared from there Tues
day afternoon a week ago and no trace
cau be found of him after the most
diligent inquiry.
Mr. Benedict left Athens Monday
morning and arrived in Greenville to
visit the mills in the surrounding
country Tuesday afternoon. He reg
istered at the Mansion house and was
directed for a team by the clerk to a
livery stable a couple of blocks from
the hotel. So far as can be ascertained
ne did not go to the stable or applj r for
any team anywhere in the city or leave
on any train. The police have made
diligent inquiry by telephone and tel
egraph throughout the up-country, but
without avail.
BOOMING WHEELER.
Many Alabama Papers Nominate Him
For Governor cf the State.
A Birmingham dispatch says: With
almost one accord the newspapers in
General Wheeler’s congressional dis
trict have united in a call for him to
enter the race for governor and heal
the disruption that now exists in the
democratic party in Alabama.
The call has been taken up by other
papers in central and southern Ala
bama, and it is said that Wheeler
might be induced to enter the field if
he is not sent to the Philippines. If
he ran he would be nominated and
elected without a doubt. Even the
populists and republicans w ill scarcely
oppose him. Wheeler’s election as
governor would, it is believed, insure
him eventually a seat in the United
States senate.
Will Build Big Depot.
The Southern Railway company has
made arrangements for erecting a
$50,000 freight depot at Rome, Ga.
Work will commence very soon.
Stolen Child Not Found.
Captain McCluskey of New York re
ports that he lias learned nothing new
about the kidnaped child, Marion
Clark, or the nurse, Carrie Jones.
FIRST CASE OF FEVER.
Young Girl In New Orleans Succumbs
To Dread Yellow Jack.
The Louisiana state board of health
Monday night gave notice to the sev
eral other boards of health in accord
ance with an agreement made this
spring that an autopsy showed Miss
Johanna Grille, who died in New Or
leans Sunday, to have died of yellow
fever. The case was regarded as a
suspicious one, but not until after the
autopsy on Monday morniug could the
character of the disease be determined
with certainty.
The board of health declares that
there is no other case in New Orleans.
