GOVERNOR FAVORS
IRE COUNTY FIS

FAIR IN EACH COUNTY ONCE EV
ERY YEAR GOVERNOR SLA
TON’S PLAN.
HE HAS VISITED MANY FAIRS
;
Governor Makes It a Habit of Seeing
Exhibits in All the Sections of
, the State.
—Atlanta.
Gov. John M. Slaton, who has spent
much of his time of late visiting vari
ous county fairs throughout Georgia,
has'become a thoroughgoing convert
to the county fair idea, and says he
hopes to see the day come when there
will be on held in every county of
the states each fall.
The governor-has visited within the
past six weeks a score or more of
fairs, among them being those of Bar
tow, Jackson, Laurens, Crisp and Ter
rell, besides others scattered as im
partially throughout the sections as
possible. -
A particularly pleasing and happy
circumstance in connection with the
governor’s numerous visits, too, is
that he has been accompanied on all
of them by Mrs. Slaton.
Discussing the county fair move
ment generally, Governor Slaton said:
“The more I see of county fairs in
Georgia, the more thoroughly I be
come impressed with the idea that
they serve a splendid and really help
ful purpose.
“Aside from the purely social as
pect of the county fairs, which is
mighty well worth while considering
v/thin itself alone, the good they do
v d-terially is hard to overestimate.
Georgia is a big, aggressive and pros
perous state. Its resources are un
limited —we can produce in Georgia
nearly everything that can be pro
bated anywhere else in the world, and
nearly everything we can produce, we
do produce in paying quantities.
“Every county fair I see presents
to me new and different*features and
studies. No two fairs are alike, and
each is illustrative of some surpass
ingly fine condition in its immediate
vicinity-

Tramp Saves Many Lives.
Jesup, Ga.—Scores of passengers left
the coaches of a Southern railway train
sixteen miles north of here to wring
the hand of a tramp who saved many
lives in a melodramatic manner. The
train, carrying four.crowded sleepers
and several day coaches, was rushing
toward a broken rail at a speed of fif
ty miles an hoar when the tramp ap
peared in front o? the locomotive wild
ly waving his arms. When the engine
man stopped the train it was within
a few feet of a misplaced rail.

GEORGIA PRODUCTS DAY
PROVES VERY POPULAR.
Many Cities and Towns Enjoy
Menus of Georgia Products
Barbecues and Ora
tory on the

>■l 1 ‘ ’
Reports from all parts of the
State, indicate that Georgia Prod
ucts Day was a great success
considering the fact that the
i idea was given its first publicity
less than three weeks ago. Some
idea the, popularity of the
event may be gathered from the
fact that in more than fifty conn
ties, seventy-eight cities held din
ners, barbecues or other festivi
ties. The dinner in Atlanta was
an immese affair, but reports in
dicate that the noon spread ■in
Bainbridge was the largest in
i the State. It. is l not believed that
any other idea ever attained sc
rapidly such wide spread popular
ky as the Georgia Products Day
Practically every paper in Geor
gia supported it, and in many in
stances editorially championed
‘tile cause when the leaders in <•
towm would! not join oth ( >r cities
in holding dinners as requested.
: Some of the menus were remark
j able for their originality, and
the variety of their viands.

WANT RECOGNITION
VICTORY CAUSES A CHANGE IN
DEMEANOR OF REBELS IN
MEXICO.
DEMAND WAS A SURPRISE
Hale Must Present Credentials Before
Carranza Will Continue Any
Negotiations.
Nogales, Sonoro, Mexico.—Francis
co Escudero .minister of foreign rela
tions in the Carranza cazinet, asked
Willard Bayard Hale, President Wil
son’s agent, to present his credentials
before continuing further with the
conferences which have been under
way here informally for several days.
This was interpreted by many as a
virtual demand for recognition of the
Constitutionalist revolution before the
exchanges between the Cararnzists
and the Washington government are
concluded.
“For our part unofficial negotiations
are ended, “Escudero said. “We have
asked Mr. Hale to present his formal
credentials. I would receive them as
minister of foreign relations and trans
mit them to my chief.
“We have been very glad to meet
Mr. Hale on terms of friendliness,
knowing of his previous investigations
in Mexico and in view of his relation
with Mr. Wilson and Mr. Bryan. The
cabinet members on previous occasions
met as individuals only. Each was a
member of the cabinet, true, but the
cabinet did not meet. The exchange
of impressions now has ended.”
The announcement of the Constitu
tionalists’ demand was a surprise. No
one on the American side expected a
request for formal recognition of the
Insurgents, even in the event that per
mission to import war munitions from
the United States were granted. At
the beginning of the negotiations Gen
eral Carranza asserted that the Con
stitutionalists were not seeking recog
nition —in fact did not desire it —and
only wanted the embargo on the im
portation of arms lifted.
A change had been noted in the de
meanor of the Constitutionalists since
the capture of Juarez and the subse
quent successes of the Revolutionists
that have been reported from different
sections of the republic.
Washington.—No official comment
was forthcoming in Washington on
the action of General Cararnza’s for
eign minister, Francisco Escudero, in
asking William Bayard Hale to pre
sent credentials before continuing the
conferences which have been in prog
ress at Nogales between Mr. Hale and
the Constitutionalist leaders.
Mr. Hale was sent to the border
in a purely unofficial capacity for the
purpose of putting the Washington
administration in touch with the Mex
ican Revolutionists.
BROWN RESIGNS POSITION
He Rose From Section Hand to the
Presidency of Great System.
New York—William C. Brown, who
rose from section hand to the presi
dency of the New York Central lines,
has resigned. The directorates of the
four railroad companies comprising
the New York Central system accept
ed his resignation.
Mr. Brown is 60 years old, and has
been in railway service for more than
forty-four years. He has been presi
dent of the New York Central for the
past five years. Prior to that he was,
for two years, senior vice president of
the system, and for five years was
In charge of operation and mainte
nance. As president of the lines he
was commander in chief of an army
of one hundred anjl sixty thousand em
ployees^
In his letter of resignation, Mr.
Brown said in part: “I have been in
railroad service continuously for more
than forty-four years and feel that I
have earned that freedom from care,
hard work and responsibility which
can only be secured by retiring from
active service. In addition to my de
sire to be relieved of the burden and
responsibility of my position, I am ad
vised by my failing hearing that I can
not, without 'serious embarrassment,
continue to perform the duties of the
position, either in the board room or
in frequent important conferences in
which I must necessarily participate.”

Small Fire Saturday.
Last Saturday the fire alarm
(sounded and the house of W. J.
who lives near the rot
ton mill, was discovered on tire.
The roof eaught, from sparks
from a flue. The damage to
the roof was about twenty-tive
dollars.
Mr. Bennett’s res’deiice is
near the corporate limits and
cannot he reached by water from
the water plugs. The bucket bri
gade soon put the flames out.
The water and light commis

as well as for fire protection.

ARE EXECUTED AS
PRISONERS OF WAR
STANDING BY GRAVES, TWO
PRISONERS ARE SHOT
DOWN,
TOOK PLACE AT CEMETERY
When Rebel Volleys Sounded, Ebave
and Cordova Tumbled Into
Newly Dug Graves.
El Paso, Texas. —Two former Fed
eral officials of Juarez, who were tak
en prisoners by General Pancho Vil
la’s rebel troops were executed at
Juarez. They were Pablo Ebave, an
official in the Juarez police depart
ment, and Juan Cordova, chief of the
Juarez secret police.
The executions took place at the
Juarez cemetery, the condemned men
standing on the brink of the newly
dug graves and falling 1n when the
firing squad shot them. Both men
were sentenced to death by General
Villa and orders were carried out by
subordinates.
Mrs. Ebave, wife of one of the con
demned men, was present when the
sentence was pronounced and pleaded
with Villa to pardon her husband, but
he refused.
A squad of 14 Federal prisoners was
taken to the cemetery to bury 89 of
the soldiers who were killed in the
Juarez battle. One of the prisoners,
fearing he was to be executed, tried
to escape and was shot by one of
the guards.
The rebel officers say there are
more executions to take place in Jua
rez and that all the Federal volun
teer army officers will be killed.
United States Senator Thomas B.
Catron of New Mexico called on Gen
eral Villa at Juarez and cautioned
him against the wholesale execution
of Federal prisoners of war, which
has been conducted at Villa at Jua
rez since the surrender of the town.
“I told General Villa that our gov
ernment had acted very favorably to
the rebel government and that It was
my opinion that the executions would
make a bad impression on the United
States government, and probably re
tard any action toward recognition of
the rebels by the United States,” said
Senator Catron, after his conference
with Villa. “He did not say he would
desist In the executions, but said It
was necessary that It be done, and
that It was his duty to his country and
orders from superior officers.
DEFENDS WHIPPING POST
. , ‘" 1
Delaware Executive Tells the Evil
doers to Shun the State.
Wilmington, Del. —Governor Charles
R. Miller issued a statement in de
fense of the whipping post and de
clared that method of punishment for
criminals in Delaware would continue
until the law providing for it is re
pealed, “regardless of any attempt
ed interference by a member of con
gress or of individuals residing in
other states.*’
In his statement the governor says:
"The courts and other legal authorh
ties of the state of Delaware will ad
ministers the internal affairs of the
commonwealth regardless of any at
tempted interference by a member of
congress or of individuals residing in
other states who are ignorant of con
ditions and permit themselves to be
misled by extravagant and highly
colored newspaper articles.
"The persons who liave written me
numerous letters, some of them abus
ive and insulting to the citizenship of
the state, should pause to consider
that state government in America is
based upon statutory laws enacted by
the people.
“I shall uphold the state courts In
the administration of the. law, and
warn evil-doers to give Delaware a
wide berth if they wish to escape the
whipping post.” , i
