GEORGIA NEWS ITEMS Happenings In the State of Inter esting Import, VmJerl>l!t Am Kxhlbltor. Mr. George Vanderbilt, of Biltmore, ■will be un exhibitor at the state fair. Secretary Martin states that Mr. Mad* den, representing the Vanderbilt es tate, has secured space for the model dairy exhibits, and Mr. Reuben Gen try, manager of tko Berkshire depart ment of Biltmoie,will make an exhibit of fine hogs. That these two exhibits from Biltmoro will be the very best of their kind is certain. Thousands of people, who will never see Biltmore, will have an opportunity to see at the fair how the Biltmore dairy is opera ted, and gaze upon the finest Berk shires that Biltmore can place beforo the public. As beforo remarked, these exhibits will prove a strong attraction for the fair and a great advertisement of Biltmore. ♦ * • I>{tir.?m*n Aroascd. The dairymen of Georgia are up in arms against what they consider is their deadliest foe —oleomargarine, 'fho oleomargarine cry is not anew one, for the story has beon known and talked about and printed for years,but the fight has burst out again, just as a volcano, long inactive, belches out its fire and smoko witout any previous announcement. Butter is worth 25 cents a pound to tho dairyman. He must get that much for it if ho makes any profit out of his butter business. Oleomarganne sells for 12J cents a pound, just exactly one half the price which the dairyman charges for butter. This makes the issue and shows the cause of the war that has beon de clared. Jnst what makes this story apropos is the fact that numerous letters have been written the department of agri culture asking that something be done for the better protection of the dairy men. These letters are so earnest and so persistent that it is impossible to allow them to pass unnoticed or un answered. There is a law on the statute books, which if properly enforced, would put anew phase on the ques tion. ♦ * * C*lony Cotns To Georgia. The Buskin commonwealth, a so cialist co-operative colony that has boon in existence at Ruskin, Tenn., lias settled at Duke, G*., where the colony will hereafter be located. Everything from the old Ruskin commonwealth, with the exception of the houses, was moved to the new lo cation, and a more earnest lot of peo ple are seldom seen together. The Raskin commonwealth was es tablished live years ago on a tract of land in middle Tennessee comprising eighteen hundred acres. The colony was organized on the idea of Edward Bellamy’s “Looking Backward,” being a strictly co-operative colony, where every citizen should be equal in every particular, everything owned by them being common property. Being the first colony of its kind ever attempted, its growth and success lias been watched by students of social ques tions all over the world. That the colony still exists is the greatest proof of its snccess and the members of the company declare it is the only way to live. There are about 250 members in the company, including women and chil dren, or about fifty families. During the past six months the Buskin colony has had considerable trouble, but the ones who have migrated state that it lias weathered tho storm of internal dissention, and they say they now have a home, and that it is going to be a greater success than ever. * * * May Kesart to Court a. The Hilton trophy contest, which was apparently won by the New' Jer sey rifle team at Sea Girt, has not yet been ended. The majority of the members of tho Georgia team returned from the north on tho steamer City of Birmingham Sunday, and though none of them would state what course of uction Ims been decided upon, if any, it is now probable that the Hilton trophy will not he given up to the New Jersey team. The ebanoes aie that the team will have to tight for it in tho courts and prove its title. The trophy now rests in the armory of the Savannah Volunteer Guards, that or ganization having contributed the largest number of men to the wiuniug team. ♦ * • Col. West Will Ui‘d])on(l A large number of prominent Con federate veterans in the state will at tend tho coming nationcl reunion of the Blue and Gray, to he held at Evansville, Ind ,in October. Col. A. J. West, of Atlanta, received a letter a day or two ago from tho secretary of the reunion general committee contain ing the following invitation: “In the name of the General Com mittee of the National Reunion of the Blue and Gray, at Evansville,lndiana, October 10th, lltli, 12th and 13th, 1899, I have the honor to invite you to respond to the toast “A generation After’ (it is intended to refer to a gen- I eration after the late civil war) at a I banquet to be given in honor of the president of the United States and other distinguished guests on the even ing of presidential day of the reunion of tl*o Blue and Gray.” Colonel West, thongh one of the youngest soldiers of the confederacy, made a brilliant military reoord. * * • Veterans* Day Called OfT. The Btate fair committee, in defer ence to the wishes of the people of Sa vannah, have decided not ■to have a “voterans’ day,” because it might in terfere with the state reunion of Con federate veterans which will take place in the Forest City in November’ * * * (lovernor'd Decision Ilagretted. The decision of Governor Candler not to be on hand at the Dewey oele bration September 29th, in New York city, is regretted by none more than the members of his staff in Atlanta, who would have accompanied the chief executive on the trip had the official duties permitted him to go. Gover nor Candler himself stated that noth ing would give him more pleasure than to contribute to the welcome of Admiral Dervey, and had it not been for the fact that his presence is required in the city so near the opening of the session of the legisla ture, he wonid have glaciiv takeu ad vantage of the invitation of the people of New York. * w * T.srjje Attendance Expected. The work of the fair in all depart ments is moving along smoothly and everything points to the greatest line of exhibits aud the largest attendance at any fair yet held in the southern states. It is said that excursions will be run on several railroads entering Atlanta during the fair. The attend ance forjlhe two weeks is now estimat ck at from 150,000 to 200,000. • * Bartow TVi!l Vote For Bond*. The Bartow county commissioners, at a special meeting in Cartersville, ordered an election of the question of issuing bonds to the amount of $30,- 000 for the purpose of building anew courthouse for Bartow county. The present structure, built soon after the war, is badly out of repair aud the Ust grand jury recommended the new building. The election is to be held on November 15th. * * * “At Hands of Unknown Part!**." The body of Ed Henderson,lynched at Ty Ty, was left hanging until the arrival of Coroner A. J. Paul,of Worth county, wkeu the body was cut down, a jury impaneled and an inquest held. After a short inquiry, a verdict that the uegro came to his death at the hands of unknown parties was re turned. The negroes have moved their fam ilies from Ty Tv, and only a few old, trusty colored men, with their families, remain near the village. Several alarms were sent to Tifton of a feared uprising, but a careful pa trol of the surrounding country for five miles failed to reveal a single negro. Tho Albany authorities refused to send the negro arrested there on sus picious of being one of tho rapists to Ty Ty for identification. * * * Carlton Won In Primary. Saturday’s primary, held in Clarke county to determine whether Major 11. H. Carlton or Captain W. B. Bur nett should represent the county in the legislature, was one of the most closely contested elections ever held. The campaign waged for about three weeks, but it was a quiet time, only two or three speeches having been made. There were 1,029 voters regis tered, and nearly a full vote was poll ed. When the ballots were counted it \va3 found that Major Carlton had been elected by a majority of 49 votes. * * * Bulletin No. 35 Issued. The new bulletin, No. 35, treating of commercial fertilizers and chemi cals, which has just been issued from the press, is one of the most interest ing documents yet issued under the auspices of tho department of agricul ture, and from beginning to end it is full of data and figures that will find many a profitable reader. The bulletin is isMied under the supervision of Hon. O. B. Stevens, commissioner of agriculture; John M. McCandless, state chemist; P. L. Hut chison, first assistant state chemist, and R. G. Williams, second assistant state chemist. Earthquake Killed Hundreds.

The Mexican senate and chamber of deputies in joint session Wednesday morning, by a unanimous vote, grant ed to President Diaz twenty-one day’s leave of absence to visit Chicago. SAYERS’ CONFERENCE For Discussion of Trusts Held In St, Louis. GOVERNORS GALORE WERE ON HAND Six States Kepresenteil In the Gathsr- Inc —Promoter of Meeting Is Selected as President. The governors of Arkansas, Ten nessee, Michigan, Missouri, Colorado and lowa, most of them accompanied by their attorneys general and the at torneys general aud other representa tives of Montana, Indiana, Mississippi and Washington responded to the in vitation of Governor Joseph D. Sayers, of Texas, to meet in conference for the purpose of discussing the trust ques tion, assembled Wednesday at the Planters’ hotel, in St. Louis, where three sessions were held. The conference was called to order at 11 o’clock by Attorney General Crow, of Missouri. Governor Sayers, was unanimously chosen permanent chairman. Paul B. Moore, private secretary of Governor Stephens, of Missouri, was chosen secretary of the conference. Governors McLaurin, of Mississippi; Foster, of Louisiana, and Candler, of Georgia, sent regrets. Most of the day was spent in speech making, and almost everyone of those present was afforded an opportnnity to air his views on the question. All the speakers were listened to with great attention. There wero several tilts between speakers of opposite po litical faith that gave spice to the proceedings. At the morning session Governor Stephens, of Missouri, delivered an address criticising the republican ad ministration’s expansion policy and declaring that trusts and imperialism go hand in band. Governor Shaw, of lowa, took up the gantlet thrown down by Stephens, and at the opening of the afternoon session answered him with a speech that brought smiles to the faces of most of those present. In turn Governor Jones, of Arkansas,put lowa’s chief magistrate on the apit and roasted him for using such face tious language at such a gathering. There seems to be a great difference of opinion as to the best method of remedying the so-called trust evil. Borne of those present thought that the state laws noxv in vogue were sufficient to control the operations of the combinations complained of, while others wero of the opinion that uni form laws should be enacted by the several states and the complete anni hilation* of the trusts, while others favored their regulation. Governor Sayei-3 and Governor Pin gree, in the speeches delivered, show ed themselvey strongly in favor of the first idea, as did also Governor Jones, of Arkansas. Governors Thomas, of Colorado,and Shaw, of lowa, favored the enactment of laws to restrict the combines. There was almost as much difference of opinion among the attorneys gen eral who were heard. KICK FROM (i. A. R. Trouble In Parade Committee of the Dew ey Celebration. A New York dispatch says: Unless the plans of General Charles F. Roe, chairman of the land parade committee of the Dewey celebration,are changed, the Grand Army of the Republic organization will not be represented in the parade. Joseph W. Kay, department com mander of the New York Grand Army of the Republic, sent a letter to Gen eral Roe Wednesday declining the in vitation for a number of reasons. These are, in brief, that the Grand Army of the Republic forces have been placed at the eud of the procession instead of at the head of the column; that General Roe has taken no cog nizance of Commander-in-Ckief Albert D. Sbaw and has sent him no invita tion to any of the functions; that the invitation for the Grand Army of tho Republic organization to participate in the parade has been extended at second-band through Colonel H. 11. Adams, and that General O. O. How ard has been placed in command of the Grand Army of the Republic forces on the day of the parade, contrary to the regulations of that orginizaticn. “Among the Ozarks.” The Land of Big Red Apples, is an attractive and interesting book, with views of South Missouri scenery. It pertains to fruit-raising in that great fruit belt of America, the southern slope of he Ozrrks and is of interest to fruit-growers and to every farmer and hoinesseker looking for a farm and a horns.
