NUMBER 25 “Would Have Knocked Them Out,” Says Schley Washington, Oct 28.—Judge Advo- cate Lemly continued the cross-ex- amination of Rear Admiral Schley in the court of inquiry today. The move ment* of the fleet were gone over in detail and at great length, but the tes timony elicited nothing new. A atir was created in the court by Judge Advocate Lemly asking, in ref* ference to the movements around Cienfuegos: “Had Cervera’s fleet appeared during I the nights vou were at Cienfuegos, either coming out or coming in from seaward, what, under vour instruc tions, would your fleet have done?” “Knocked them out," was the prompt reply of Admiral Schley. “What were your instructions?’ “To follow the flf<g, the instructions given at Hampton Roads.” “What were your instructions?" “There were none. I don’t consider that the regulations or customs re quired written instructions. ” France Has Sent Warships To Bring Turkey to Terms. Paris, Oct. 31.—“The entire French Mediterranean squadron left yester* day afternoon." says the sToulon cor* respondent of the Figaro. “While one division put in at Salins d’Hyetes, another composed of three battleships and two cruisers, under the command of Admiral Caillard, proceeded to the Levant Two thousand troops will be added to this force. Admiral Call* lard’s orders are that, if complete sat* isfaction is not immediately given by the Ottoman government to all the claims of France, he shall seize the cus tom house of the port nearest his squadron. It is believed his destination is the Island of Mitylene or Salonika. | The island commands tha entrance to j the Dardanelles and the Gulf of Smyrna.” Several morning papers confirm the Figaro's Toulon advices. Rumors to the same effect were current in Paris late last evening, but the foreign of fice professed to know nothing about the matter. THE INHERITANCE TAX BILL.

The fair this year seems to be equally as good, and in m&uy respects it is ahead of the state fair held in that city last year. The exhibits in the main building and the poultry and •lock exhibits are great. The midway attractions and the horse raciug are probably better than at any South Georg a yet held.

The facilities for naudling the crowds both to and from the fair grounds are better than last year. Valdosta should be proud of the South Georgia Fair. Resolutions of Sympathy.
