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- U. S. Army Chargers Win.

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.

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.” TUESDAY NIGHT AT LYRIC LOCAL ARTISTS APPEAR. “Aunt Difiah’sJ Quilting Party,” Ifcttersper&ed with Moving Pio turse and Musical Num bers, Will Be Put Oil.

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.

"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 jh Scott 18 Nominated to Succeed Lynch New York. —At a meeting of prin ters held here Marsden.G.
