It is an important meeting and will be largely attended, Southwest Geoiioia will have a full crop of watermelons to disposs of in a few weeks, and our northern neighbors should begin to train their appetites for the luscious fruit. The crop will he large. Columbus has been agitating thequca- tlon of watering her streets, but after Investigation the city council decldod that It would be too ex|>evsive, and re fused to make an appropriation for that purpose. It is now reported that the Savannah and Western railroad has purchased the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus, which In connection with the Nownau road, will give them a through line from Griffin to Chattanooga The report of the New Orleans grand jury will probably figure In the diplo matic correspondence between the Upi ted States and Italy, and is a strong support to the position held by Mr. Blaine In the controversy. The New Tork Herald says Judge Crisp has s straight nose.

Bnt no damage is done here, and the cool weather !■ rather enjoyed than otherwise after the warm dsya of the past week. Hoif. John J. Ingalls Informed newspaper reporter the other (lay that he wee tired of being bored by the pen cil pushers Tbqj hie Ideaa were valu able, snd that he did not propose to si. low other people to make money out of them, while he reoeived nothing. Johnny has changed materially sinoe bis defest for the senate. He used to be a favorite with the newspaper boys in Washington, snd was glad enough then to have them publish bis sayings. An error in engrossment has been dis covered, by which the registration and election law of Tennessee is rendered inoperative. The intention of the leg islature was to make the law applicable to counties having a population of fiO,. 000, bnt the act aa enrolled made it a “voting” population of 50,000, and tboro are no counties in the state having as many voters. It Is suggested that an extra sesaion of the legislature may be called to correct the error. It Is doubtful it the farmers legists- turn wiU agree to appropriate the one hundred thousand dollars aaked for by the World's Fair convention, even If it should be clearly proven that it it not unconsti tuUonal. The opinions pro and con, as expressed by prominent citizens and eminent lawyers both in the eooven- tion snd out of it, sre at variance, sod it is a question which esn only be settled by the legisla'uro itself. THK WORLD'S FAIR CONVENTION. The convention called by Gov. Nor- then to consider the unsettled question as to the ways snd means to have Geor gia represented at the World's fair in Chicago in 1*03 convened in Atlanta last Wednesday. About seventy fivo coun ties of the state were represented. Gov. N'orthen, in calling the convention to order, took advanced grounds fn favor of having Georgia represented “in every nay worthy of the mineral, the agricul tural and the manufacturing resources of the state.” The proceedings clearly showed that the convention was unanimously in favor of the state being worthily represented. The only serious question upon which there was division was liow to get the money necessary to pay the expenses It is clear that no money can bo taken from the treasury for this purpose that lias been collected from the people by taxation, as the state constitution says: the power of taxation over the whole state shall be exercised by the general assembly for the support of the state government and the public institutions; for educational purposes in educating children in the elementary branches of an English education; to pay interest on tlio public debt; to suppress Insurrec tion; to repel invasion and defend the state in time of war; to supply lost limbs to surviving Confederate vet erans." Nome of the delegates were in favor of appropaiatlng to this purpose $100,000 of the rental of the state road, sod Mr. A. J. Cobb, of Athens, made a strong argument in favor of the constitutional right to do so. This was opposed by Capt. IIrrry Jackson of Atlanta as unconstitutional. He favored using for this purpose the proceeds of the salo of the Okefenokee swamp. Col. J. J. Bull, of Talbotton, thought there was no way to get any money for thla purposo from the atate treasury and favored raising the required amount by county subscriptions. The matter was finally disposed of by the unanimous adoption of the following resolutions: This convention tally recognising the 1m p* rtsnce of Georgia being properly repre sents I at the World's Colombian ex poult on ai Cblcagoln 1**1, and being here In response o toe ca I of nur governor, do issolve, 1, That the legislature of this slats be re- quested to appropriate $100,000 for the pur pose of enabling tbs state of Georgia to mak< an exhibition of her t eaou'cee at the World') Columbian exhibition for 1893. 3. That a permansnloommlttee or one from eseh congressional district and two from the state at large be appointed lor the pu 'pose or earrylngtuioeffectthe objects of thla vcntlon. The following committee, under the resolution, was appointed: Captain Henry Jackson, and General C. A. Ev ans, from the state st large, snd from the congressional distrlota Ip order: A, T. Putnam, of Brunawlek;0. B. Stevens, of Terrell; W. I.. Gleasner, of Amerieua; Louis M. Garrard, of Columbus; Hoke Smith, of Atlanta; R. W. Jemison, of Macon; Seaborn Wright, of Rome; An drew J. Cobb, of Athena; F. C, Tate, of Fickens; Fat Walsh, of Augusta. No doubt any Georgian would be glad to have the empire etate of the South worthily represented at Chicago, and Tna Times-Repobdeh sincerely hopes some legal means may be found to ob tain the money for the purpose. The most interesting and important ease to the newspapen of the country, involving aa It does, to a certain extent, the freedom of the press, la that of the Mobile Register sgslnst the United States Government The case grows out of the set of congress prohibiting the publication and sending through the malls of lottery advertisements. It is understood that the suit la brought by the Louisians Lottery Company and the Register as a test case. It Is a question of the greatest import snd the Issue will be wstched with interest. The Mississippi democratic commit tee hae arranged for a thorough public discussion of the alliance sub-treasury bill in the various oounties of the atate. Tha Mississippi alliance is divided In re gard to the sub-treaatry scheme. For a time the scheme was popular in Missis sippi, but the opposition of Senator George and Senator Walthall and other leaders has brought about a desire to learn more of the scheme, and the dis- cuasion arranged promises to liven up the politics of. that atate. A vessel belonging to the Insurgents of Chili was seized by the government officials while loading with supplies at San Diego, California, Tuesday, In ac cordance with Instructions from Wash ington. The Insurgents are making some headway In their revolution against the government, but the United States has no desire to be made a party to the fight, not even by allowing supplies to be furnished from this country. CtrtEr Ahthuh, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, has been lu Sa vannah several days for tho purpose of conferring with the Central railroad au thorities in regard to the wafees of the engineers. The latter are not pleased with the result of th* change from a stated per diem to the mileage ayetem, endwanttoputtherosdon notice that the contract which expires next fall will not be renewed. BE IS FOR CRISP. Much speculation has been indulged in aa to which of the speakership can didates would be the recipient of the votes of the representatives who belong to the farmers’ alliance, and whether they would all vote together. The al liance representatives have, aa a rule, fought shy of expressing their prefer ences, if they bad any,' contenting them selves with saying that they proposed supporting the candidate who was will ing to make the most concessions to tbelr principles; but Representative Ed munds of Virginia, who U in Washing ton City for a day or two, looking after the interests of some of his constituents, is more outspoken than any alliance- man. lie said: “lam for Crisp, lie is one of the ablest men In the house, and he has pre-eminently all the quail- i fications that should be looked for in the | speaker of the next house.” Mr. Ed-! munds is a democrat, as well as an al-j l'anceman, and he will attend tho demo cratic caucus, and will, of course, be bound by its decision.—Augusta Even ing News. It is now reported that 0,090 whl te In truders upon the Chickasaw Indian lands are to bo driven away, as other intrud ers fu Oklahoma have been driven away, and as the woodsmen who tried to in trude upon the Indian reserve in north ern Wisconsin have been driven away. There ought to be better regulations for the guidance of the pioneers in these re gions than those that are now enforced and now neglected. The Chicasaw set tlers ought to have been prevented from intruding upon land that they could not lawfully take, and that some of them have held and worked for years by con sent of the Indians. The pioneers in several parts of the west have had hard times this year. Scott Tiioknton, Atlanta’s pet trage dian, has started out on a tour of the state, and made his first appearance in Athens Wednesday evening. Nothing could havo suited the students of the State University better, and they were on hand when tHe curtain went up, well loaded with bad eggs, potatoes and cab bages. The first act has not been com pleted yet, as Seotty is too bashful a youth to stand before tiie immense au dience which greeted bis appearance and receive the encore showered upon him. He was boobed for only one night in Athens, and now feels bad because it waa not cancelled.

Boyd and Thayer were the candidates. Thayer was closing hi, first term and consequently was in office when the re turns wore counted. The figures show ed the election of Boyd, but the point waa made that he had never been nat uralized and was consequently ineligible. Thayer, however, surrendered the office to his competitor, and the question of law was submitted to the courts. The decision la that Boyd is ineligible, and that Thayer la entitled to the office. Some of the Southern newspapers arc condemning the New Orleans grand jury for refusing to find Indictments against the leaders in the Mafia lynching. The report is just what waa expected, and meets the approval of a vast majority of the citizens of Now Orleans, especially thoro who were in the mob. If Indlot- menta had been found against ail who participated In the killing, the question arises where would the jury come from to try thorn ? It ia stated that the whole city was Involved, and If this la true none would be left to alt upon the jury. Bitnop Williams recently wrote in reply to a young Hartford' man about to be married: “I regret, sir, tbst Is with out my province to order the word ‘obey’ omitted from the marriage »er- Vioe. There is no way that this can be done except by vote of the Houie of Bishops, The house next convenes in 1893, and if you will postpone your mar riage until than, I will take pleasure in presenting your petition to the house for its action.” The young man con cluded not to wait. William Jacques, a citizen of Mas sachusetts, who was touring with his daughter iu Italy, was attacked by Ital ians at Florence while nut riding Tues day, and the young lady seriouiiy in jured. There was no cause for the at tack, and other Americans traveling in Italy may look out tor similar treat ment, as the Italian, will not fear pun- ishment under the present statu, of af fairs between their country and ours.
