AH INTERESTING- EXHIBIT
Croat Southern Inter-State Fair Is Of
fering tho Largest Premiums Ever
Advertised For Agricultural Pro
ducts—Women’s Department.
The Premium List of the Southern
Inter-State Pair is now ready for distri
bution and those who desiro a copy
should apply at onco to Secretary T. H.
Martin, 218 Prudential Building, At
lanta. It will bo mailed without charge.
The premiums of Gst year have been
increased about 30 per cent. The classes
have been extended also, thus offering
greater opportunity for the exhibit of
more complete linos. Many novel and
interesting contests have been arranged.
Attention has already been called to
the “Giant Premiums” offered for agri
cultural products. These special prizes
are record breakers. They excel any
premiums ever before offered for this
character of exhibits, Wheat, oats,
corn, jxffatoes, cotton and $250.00 pumpkins being
oome in for big money,
offered for the best bushel of the various
sorts of grain. The same is offered for
the best 20 stalks of cotton and the same
for the largest pumpkin. for
Thera are five large agricultural prizes offered exhibits
the best collective
made by Georgia farmers—$309, $200,
$100, $00 and $40, respectively, for the
five best exhibits of this character. The
basis of competition aud all information
regarding the contest is given, in the
Premium List.
Another interesting lot of premiums
are those offered in the Cattle Denart- quite
ment. There has always been a
demand for classes in this department
open only to. Georgia owned animals.
But separate classes of this character
have heretofore been impossible on Hap- ac
count of the additional expense.
pily full this objection and tho has doubl* been classes met by a
treasury are
offered this year. The Pair Association
has been encouraged to do this on ac
count of tho erect success of the Gattle
Department las* year and it is hoppd will
that the Georgia wisdom entries this year
prove the of the Pair Associa
tion in making this additional expand!
O.
The Department of Women’s Work
and the Flower Show have been placed iii
charge of ihe Georgia Federation of
Women’s Clubs, of which Mrs. J. Lind
say Johnson is president. • This does not
mean, however, that only members of
this organization will be allowed to make
entries in this Department. The priv
ilege of exhibit i - given to all and -the
indications are that tho Department of
Women’s Work will ba one of the most
interesting of th e Fair.
Every Departmont of the Premium
List is lull of interest. It is well worth
inspection, whe-her or not one expects
to become ;»n exhibitor. Even a synop
sis of the lists here would be quite im
possible for lack of space. Send and get
a copy. That is the best way, and then
you will have the whole story.
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in the land who
are not afraid to be generous to tie
needy aDd suffering. The proprietors of
Dr. King’s New Discovery for consump
tion, coughs and colds, have given away
over ten million trial bottles of this
geat medicine j and have the satisfaction
of knowing it lias absolutely cured
thousand of hopeless cases. Asthma,

FOR SOUTHERN DEVELOPMENT.
Increased Appropriations Made by
Congress for River Measurements.
Southern Senators and Represen
tatives in Congress did some good
work during the dosing days of the
session in the it tercst of manufactur
ing development for the South. It
is well known that the southern
water-courses are being utilized to a
great extent for power to run fac
tories and plants .and for elect
rical purposes, and in many of the
smaller stream* it becomes necessary
before capital will invest, to deter
mine the flow and consequent power
which they are capable <>f produci g.
This is being done tktough official
stream measurment and gauging by
the United States Geological Survey,
and when an increased appropriation
of $100,000 for this purpose was
opposed in Congress, it brought
Senator Butler, of North Carolina,
Clay, of Georgia, Representatives
Livingston, of Georgia, and others
to their feet in defense of a work of
such vilal interest to their States and
to all these sections which contain
any possibilities for manufacturing
development. Not only thi -, but
Senator Butler demanded that $250j
000 be appropriated instead of the
$100,000 recomendcd by ihe Senate
Appropriations Committee.
“This work of tho Geological
Survey,” said Seuato.i Butler, “is
of great importance to the South.
Every man in North Carolina se. *
the great commercial and practical
value-of the work. Every man who
wants to establish a cotton factory
wants to know exactly how much
water power there is in a paiticular
stream, because then be can decide
whether he will bmhi his factory there
or not., aud if lie does build it there,
whether he must supplement it with
ste.'.m power.”
Senator Clay strongly advocated
the increase in the appropriation as
something justly due the South. He
stated that the appropriation bad
gradually increase*-* from $5,000 for
this purpose to $ It),000, to $40,000
and then to $50,000, and now $100,
000 was reoomended by the Senate
Appropriations Committee. It was
here proposed to increase this
amount to $250,000. lie did not
know-, he said, of any appropriation
that had been of more relative benefit
to the of the State of Georgia.
He cited a case where capitalist re
fused to established their plant be
cause the Government could not
furnish data showing tlie capacity
of a stream whose power they intend
to utilize. Since then appropi iations
had been applied, the desired data
furnished by the Geological Survey,
the power of the stream developed,
and over a million dollars invested
by these capitalists.
“In my opinion,” conlcluded Sen
ator Clay, “this appropriation is vast
importance. So for as try state is
concerned, we realize that when we
develop our water power and utilize
our raw material, we give employ
merit to our idle labor aud build up
the South
After considerable debate al mg
these lines Senator Butler’s amend
meM prevailed aud $250,000 was
inserted. In the lions , the friends
of the measure were not so well or
ganized ami the amount was cut
1 down to the $100,000. Congress-
nl:ui who favored the measure, how
eter, took occasion to speak strongly
iljbehalf of more liberal appropria
tions in the near future, and stated
distinct 1 }’ that they would bo de
nwtndcd. Reprcsenative Livingston,
of Georgia, declared the importance
to die whole people of the work of
the Geological Survey, and empha
sized its great value to mining inter
est as well h«Jn matters of stream
measurement, prevention of stream
pollution, irrigation, drainage, and
general water supply, and stated
t linl the South was only in the hegin
nmr of her development.
_ In my section of the country,” lie
s 2 . o, “we are Hooded with letters
from every quartar of the Union in
qniting about water power, and many
relate to the question of the supply
fot-^mimng in the mineral regions.”
Mr. Livingston hoped, he »aid,
that ii! the future Congress would
deal more liberal iy with this impor
ts-1 question; that $100,000 was a
mere pittance wbon it had to be
spread over the whole United Slates
and that his State alone thonld have
$800,000 or $900,000 to properly
complete the work. He proposed,
he said, from this time on to work
for belter recognition for the South
at the hands <4 Congress along this
important line, and he served notice
upon his colleaguea that larger ap
pronHations for this work must he
fovtl|oming, and that the sooner they
weVwm.WO the better for the people
of the country.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
The German Embassy' here ha*
prepared for publication a statement
in regard to the new' meat bill, prob
ably with the ulea of staving off any
measure of retaliation that the Um
ted States might be disposed to
adopt. This statement declares
that the bill is not aimed parictularly
against the United Stales, hut applies
to all the world, and that, as a mat
ter of fact, it will bar only G or 7 per
cent of the product of this country.
It says that each of the confederate
states of the German Empire having
had its own meat inspection laws,
became more and more an impedi
ment to trade, and to d i away with
much disagreeable friction in interstate
ami foreign commerce, they resolved
to abolish all these loea’ laws and re
strictions and to create one law and
a uniform sytein for the whole ern
pii-jp The new law will require two
seperate inspections in the German
Empire. First, an ispection of the
live stock before slaughtering, then
an inspection of the ilaugbtered
meat, Foreign meats, of course,
must also he inspected, and it is at
tins point that Germany catches the
United States. It was felt, says the
statement, that it would be impracti
cable to inspect certain classes of
goods, such as canned meats, as the
opening of the can would practically
destroy the contents, and small hits
of pickled im-ats, and it was decided
to exclude a few of these produ ts.
This is, of course, a mere subterfuge
as there is no difficulty in inspecting
samples. If now the Secretary of
Agriculture would make use of the
law at his command and decide that
it is impracticable to inspect indi
vidua 1 German sausages, pickles,
and wine for the same reasons given
by Germany, there would be a fair
measure of retributive justice involv
ed.
Considerable pleasure is expressed
here at the news that Japan has of
her own motion, restricted immigra
tion to the United States, henceforth
permitting only 5 person per month
to emigrate from any perfectitre of
the empire to the United States.
This limitation practically prohibits
imigration. For this reason, there
is no longer any need r ov Special In
spector VVatehoro to remain on the
Pacific coast, where he was sent to
investigate Japanese immigration
and see that the laws relating to
aliens coming into the country were
strictly enforced, and Assistant
Secretary Taylor has directed hnu
t i return here as soot; as the ships
now on the sea, which left Japan pre
vious to the issuance of the new or
der, arrive and their passenger* have
been passed upon by the immigrant
officials.
The annual readjustment of the
saleries of Presidential postmasters
has just been comleted by the First
Assistant Postmaster ) General. f It
1
shows a considerable gene ral increase
in mail matter throughout llie coun
try. As the salaries of postmasters
depend altogether on the amount of
business done by their offices, the in
crease in mail matter means a gener
al increase in salaries. Nearly 2,000
postmasters will receive a total in
crease ol about $200,000. The
Presidential offices now number
-1,270, an increase of 250 over last
year and 808 over 1884, an ine case
of nearly 20 per cent in seven years,
lit tile adjustment just completed 15
second class offices have been ad
vanced to the first class, 110 third
class to second class, and 275 fourth
class to the third class. The follow
ing offices have been advanced
from the second to the
first class, the receipts over $40,000
for the year: Norwich, Conn; Moline,
Ill.; Muncic, Ind.; Ottumwa, la.;
Taunton, Mass.; Ann Arbor, Mich.;
Bay City, Mich.; Port Huron, Mich.;
Nevada, Mo.; Montclair, N. J.; Char
lotte, N. (J.; Raleigh, N. C ; Winston
-Salem, N, C.; Fargo, N. D.; Johns
town, Pa. Tampa, Fla.; was reduced
from first class to second class. It was
advance? during the war, *• hen the
receipts were much greater than
usual.
In two weeks more the new fiscal
year will begin and there will bo as
usual, a number of new offices to be
filled m the executive Departments
of this city. All the appropriations
made at the first session of the 50th
Congress, which has just adjourned,
will become available next month,
and the initiated Congressmen and
others of influence have not been
idle in the meanwhile. All the best
places provided for by the various
appropriation bills have been picked
out and promises made as to then
future bestowal, and consequectly
there will be little use for appeals for
appointments from this time onward .

There may be unexpected slumps in

public life is concerned when the elec
tion is over.
The remarkable increase in coal
exportations from ti e United States,
coupled with the fact that we be
came, in 1899, the world’s largest
producer of coal, gives special inter
est to discussion of ihe world’s coal
product just published by the Bureau
of Statistics of the Treasury Depart
ment. For the first tune the United
States shows a larger production than
any oth„r country including Great
Britain, i’ho. significance of this fact
cannot be over-estimated. Coal is
row, more than eve, the material
energy of a country, and its abun
dance is the truest index of a coun
try’s position among its industrial
rivals. While the present heavy ex
ports may be due mainly to tiie ab
normal conditions of the British coal
markets, there is tio d mbt that lie's
county will supply a steadily inct eas
ing part of tire coal needed by foreign
industrial countries, which, until re
cently, have been drawing upon The
British output. This is the more
probable since cost of production and
prices of coal are falling in tins eottn
try\ and increasing abroad.
The Post, dfice Department is much
gratified at the news from (.Juba that
the mail service will be made self
supporting. Under the efficient
management of South Assistant
Postmnster General Britow, who is
now toe Acting Director of Posts iri
Cuba, a saving in salaries of over
§110,000 a year l- made. No greater
salary is to be paid anv employee of
the postal service than is raid for
similar work in the United States.
Added to the reduction in allowance
for furniture and per diem expenses,
it is believed that the saving will
amount to over $209,000 a year.
Mr. Bn.-t.ow expects to leave Cuba
before the rod of the month.
