in typical southern states, and espe

state of Georgia, left Atlanta a few

negro college, and went by mail to
Chicago, from where it will be taken
to New York, where the exposition
headquarters of this country are loca
ted, and then sent to Paris.
The whole exhibit is an attempt to
show in a wall space 6x3 feet, which is

south.

To Ilerrflt Farmer*.
C. 11. Jordan, agricultural editor of
the Atlanta Journal, is making ar
rangements for the cotton growers’
convention to be held at Macon on the
12th of May for the purpose of devil
ing a plan for the better marketing of
the cotton crop. Ho has secured froiv
Mr. Hoke Smith, Governor Candler
and Commissioner Stevens promises
that they will make speeches at the
convention and expects to have on tho
program Hon. Pope Brown, represent
ing the Georgia farmers; Sir. W. S.
Witham, representing the bankers;
Major J. F. Hanson, representing the
cotton mills, and Mr. I. B. English, of
Macon, representing the warehouse
men, and other leading men represent
ing the merchants and the insurance
companies.
At the organizer of the movement,
Mr. Jordan will open the convention
with a short speech, stating the cbjeot
for which it was called.
The idea upon which this movement
proceeds is that a large part of the cot
ton crop should be held in strong
hands aud not rushed on the markets
to be sacrificed, as it has beeu hereto
fore. To this end the bankers, mer
chants, mill men, warehousemen and
insurance companies are expected to
co-operate.

Ronnl of Health Wanted.
The next legislature will bo asked to
pass a bill creating a state board of
health. Governor Candler has recom
mended that such action be taken,
and the state convention of the Medi
cal association recognized the impor
tance of thj measure by appointing a
committee to investigate the matter.
The Speer bill, introduced at tho
heel of the last session of the legis.la
ture, will be the measure considered
at the coming session. The bill was
framed aud introduced by H,ou. E.
C. Speer, member of the bouse from
Sumter county. The bill was not
reached on the bouse calendar, though
the majority of the legislators expressed
themselves as in favor of its passage.
The committee appointed by the
Medical Association a day or two ago
was named for the purpose of confer
ring and investigating the bill. The
committee met with the author of the
bill. The report of the committee was
unanimous in favor of the measure.
The committee then went to Governor
Candler with the bill and the report.
Governor Candler, after investigating
the matter, recommended the bill and
urges its passage in the next legisla
ture.
Anothar equally important subject
discussed by tha Medical Association
was that of the establishment of a Pas
teur institute, recommended to be in
augurated in Atlanta. The cure of
the various phases of hydrophobia and
blood poisoning should receive more
attention than it does, say the doctors
of the state.

For Northern Division.
A Washington dispatch says: Rep
resentative Tate of the Ninth Georgia
district has introduced a bill to create
the northern division of the northern
district of Georgia for judicial pur
poses and to fix the time and place for
holding court. The bill provides that
the division shall be composed of the
counties of Banks, .Dawson, Forsyth,
Habersham, Hall, Jackson, Lumpkin,
Towns, Union and White, and that
circuit and district courts shall be held
at the city of Gainesville on the first
Monduy of July aud second Monday of
January of each year.
It is also provided that Gainesville
shall furnish suitable rooms and ac
commodations for the holding of courts
free of expense to the government, aud
that the act shall take effect from and
after the 13th day of June. A bill
creating the northwestern division
and establishing general courts at
Rome was passed a few days ago and
is now a law. United States court in
the northern district are now held in
Atlanta, Columbus and Rome, and the
the indications are that the Tate bill
will soo becomeu a law, adding Gaines
ville to the list.

lloiner Crawford Fx< rated.
Homer Crawford, colored,was hang
ed at Hawkiusville last Friday for the
murder of Johnson Pate. The execu
tion attracted a large crowd of visitors
to the city and though there was much
interest manifested, there was no dis
order whatever. On the scaffold Craw
ford made his statement coolly. He
said that he hoped everybody would
remember bis fate and would never
commit murder. He said ho killed
Pate in self-defense.
“Ihavebeen forgiven for the crime,”
said the condemned man, just before
the trap was sprung, ‘‘and will meet
you all iu heaven.”

This certifies that after t had been
afflicted for ten years, I took treatment
from D.\ Banks for forty five days and
desire to say that I was wonderfully
improved and am sure that Dr. Banks’
short treatment helped me more than
any treatment I took during the lOyears.
I was affl cted with great nervousness,
kidney troubles, indigestion, sleepless
ness etc.
My husband and I most heartily ro
lommend Dr. Banks to all our friends.
