Macon, Oct. 22.—The Bicycle
Race recently arranged, promises
tojic one of the principal features
of the State Fair, Seven races
have iicenarranged—four for Tues
day evening, the 28th, and three
for Wednesday morning, tho 29th.
About $300 in prizes make up the
purses and every Bicyclist will
have a chance ac some of the money
and medals. The grand strtet
parade will take place Tuesday atl
o'clock.
There are thirty-six entries in
the grand walking match. Among
them arc Smith and Lewis, of
Americus, who will have to do some
good work for Southwest Georgia.
The walking match track is arrnng-
re * M " cd on the style of ancient amphi
theatres and something like a cir-
cub ring, but much nicer and
stronger. The track is soft and
spongy and is as good as are made.
The match is exciting much inter
est throughout the Slate.
A nice little shuwer fell this af
ternoon, cooling the earth and lay
ing the dust, for the first time in
seventy-five days. Everything is
refreshed, and everybody jubilant,
Umbrellas are again in vogue, and
the people in n good humor.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Another Cnsa In Which Dealers m
Cotton Futures Are Interested,
Auolsta, Ga., Oct 22.—In the
case uf the National bank, of Au
gusta, against Hubert Cunningham
in the superior court, being a suit
r the payment of a note lor $3,-
500 given by defendant to Warren,
Wallace & Co. and discounted by
the National bank, based, it is al
eged, upon futures in cotton, tac
note being given by Cunningham
to a commission merchant to cover
margins, the court charged that it
the transaction was speculation in
fuluies, the note was void in the
bands of all parties, whe'ber inno
cent holders or otherwise. The jury
found for the defendant. Judge
Roney in charging tue jury, held
that il a part of the considc.ation
was legal and a part illegal, that
the legal part should stand. Thia
asc has excited much attention,
having bren before the courts tor
sonic time. Tho Supreme Court
in this case has also decided that
future coutracta are illegal and
void. In delivering his opinion.
Justice Blandfurd speaks of faro,
brag and poker as lame, gentle,
submissive animals compared to
ibis monster, future speculation,
which he characterized as a (ero
clous beast allowed to stalk about
in open mid day with gilded aigns
and flaming advertisements to al
lure unhappy victims to its cm
brace ol death and destruction.
A new species of wild borse,
found in Central Asia, baa been
biofgl t to St. Petersburg. It is
met with in troopsof live to fifteen
led by an old stallion. The species
has highly sensitive powers of
hearing, smell and sight, and is
very shy and fleet. The long hair
of the tail does not begin till about
midway down the tail. On the
abort, erect mane there is no fore
lock, and there is no dorsal stripe.
The city, says a New York spe
cial to tbe Philadelphia Times Oct.
20, seems to be the focus of tbe
Presidential battle. Tho leaders
of both parties claim to have so
decreed and to bo laying their
plans accordingly. The Republi
cans say they h»vo beeu forced by
tbe action of their opponents to Jet
the doubtful Western Slates take
care of themselves and to concen
trate their efforts where the enemy
is massing his forces. A gentle
man high up in tho secrets of the
Republican National Committee
outlined the cituaiion to me to day
as follows:
“Our people have decided that
the party must lake tbo risk ol
making the light right here in New
York. It is putting alt the eggs
into ono basket and risking a great
issue upon a single point. But tn
lividc our strength and continue
an aggressive campaign in the
wavering Western States would he
to invito defeat here, where it
would be fatal. To lose New York
woo'd mean defeat in Connecticut
and New Jersey. To carry tbe
Fmpire Sta'e means success in
these two adjoining States. They
will stand or fall by tbe action of
New York. Therefore it has been
thought best to concentrate the
range of battle right in this
city. The local Republican lead
ers in Indiana, Michigan and Wis
consin must take care of them
selves. Not much effort or money
will be spent upon the Republicans
in the interior of New York. Tbe
local organizations in New 'York
u'ty are to bo left to take care of
themselves, and what money can
be raised by tbe Republican mana
gers will be used to keep alive the
Dera'.cratic differences in the city
and tu strcngihen the Butler move
men*, here. New Jersey and Con
necticut will get a majority of the
speakers at the command of the
National Committee during the
remaining days of the contest.’’
MONEY NOT PLENTY.
Nantucketers hive had a habit
of being l>orn at various distant
points on the globe. Cause, father
and mother on whale ships. Port
made; child born; possibly Valpa
rsiso, Honolulu. Rio Janeiro, or
midocean. Tbe birth entry of some
Nantucket childien read* : “Born
in latitude 30 north, 42 w««t from
mtridiaa of dries wish, a »oa,” *U.
“Are you pretty iroll fixed for
money ?”
•No. The Republican Commit
tee is comparatively poor. This
civil service business has played
havoc with its treasury. In 1880
more than $200,000 was coalribu
ted to tbo campaign fund by ofiice-
hol 'ers. This year only about
$20,000 has been received from tho
100,000 men who hold fat places
hy the grace of the Republican
party. This falling ofl in the rev
enue of the cimmittco has been
very severely fell, the moro so be
cause private individuals Imvc been
exceedingly niggardly in their
contributions. Many men who
have formerly given from $1,000
to $2,000 hesitatingly givo from
$50 to $100 this year. Then the
dd atnlwart crowd, which always
gave liberally, won’t put up a cent,
and it is as much as a bargain if
wc get them to vote the ticket.
Then tbo Independents were al
ways worth something to the rev
enue ot the committee, but this
year they me on the other side,
and there arc a great many more
of them in Ibis State than we care
to acknowledge. Wc discover that
fact more and marc every day In
soliciting subscriptions. Private
ilizens don’t seem to give freo'y.
Tbo first question asked, even
among those who have clamored
loudest about divorcing the public
service from politics, is: ‘Why
don’t tbe officeholders pay up?
They are more interested in party
success than anybody else.’
Ills very embarrassing to be
obliged to tell this class that the
lamor for civil service relorrn has
taken $170,000 out of tbe trensury
of the National Committee. These
are only a few of the difficulties
which stand in Lite way of the Re
publicans in pressing upon busi
ness rnen the neurssities of tbo
campaign. It takes nearly all of
Mr. Elkins’time to look for money
to meet the current expenses.
Every dav be is down town with
tbe business men, sometimes with
out very great success. Never
before has the National Committee
been in such a position in relation
to finances. It is often difficult
for them to meet fie current ex
penses of the workers and speak
ers who are employed hy them.
This naturally breeds a great deal
of dissatisfaction among the boys,
especially in this city, who have
been looking forward to making a
living for a few weeks out of poli
tics. But we will get the money.
It will take a few dnya to replenish
alter Ohio, but it will come.
Wbtthtr our oppontnt* are in any
bsttsr (bap* flaaaalell/, i do not
know. Genera ly speaking, they
don’t need quite as much money
as we do, for their orgnniziiion is
mare easily bandied and not often
liable to go astray.”
T AMMAN t’? RATIFICATION.
New York, Oct. 21—Immense
crowds ol people assembled to
night in and about Fourteenth and
Fifteenth streets and Irving Place
to attend the great Tammany rati
fication. There was speaking from
seven different stands in that part
of the city; but the principal meet
ing was in Tammany Hall, which
was packed to its utmost capacity.
Mayor Ed-ion, who presided, read
letters Irom a number of prominent
Democrats, and after brief remark*
introduced to the audience as tbe
first speaker Senator Bayard, who
was received with great entbusi*
asm. Seldom bas any speaker met
with such a welcome in this city.
At almost every sentence bo was
interrupted by applause, which nt
the close of bin address swelled
into a great outburst of excitement
anil enthusiasm. Hn was followed
by ex Gov. John B. Carroll, of
Maryland,and ex-Aenator Tburman
both of whom were loudly cheered.
Resolutions wero unanimously
adopted indorsing Cleveland and
Hendricks and the Tammany nomi
nations for city ollices and Judges
of the Court ot Appeals, and com
mending them to all who desire
good government and who are
interested in having tbe offices
filled by men ol moral courage,
unwavering honesty and devotion
to the trusts committed to tbeir
care. During the speaking a mon
ster procession, consisting of more
than 20,000 torch bearers, marched
past Tammany Hall and the sever-
u! outside stands and filled that
part of the city with the glare of
torches and fireworks and a roar ot
continuous cheering.
A Peculiar Hebrew Tribe.
Fart* Gaulol*.
Between Damascus and Jerusal
em is a tribe of about 3,000 He
brews, which has been there pro
bably since tbe beginning of the
Christian era. They have neither
city nor town; they live in camps.
The temple is represented by a
moro spacious tent. They have
never admitted among them a per
son of a different race or religion,
t heir ordinary language is Hebrew.
In tbeir relations with others they
speak Arabian. These relations,
however, are very few, for they
have remained, like tbe primitive
races, exclusively tillers of tbe
soil and warriors. They cultivate
