Georgia Industries To The Front. STATE MAKES SPLENDID DISPLAY WITH ITS VARIED EXHIBITS AT THE WORLD'S PAIR. B/OUwock Bairttt St. Louis, July 80.—'The dis play made by Georgia at the World’s Fair, furnishes many pleasant aurpriees for the Ueor gia visitor, and, in viow of the small legislative appropriation and because of the varied inters ests it touches, is a center of at' traction for all visitors. Georgia’s exhibits aro oven more of a credit to the state than if they bad bcon made wholly ont of legislative appropriations, for the enterprise and progress of the people are everywhere demonstrated in this effort to put the good old state and its magnificent resources to the front. This is the first and only time that Georgia has been adequate, ly represented at a World’s Fair, and the results obtained with the limited facilities at hand, has been very gratifying. We feel that it is the duty ot every Georgia citizen who can possibly sparo the timo and means to visit the World’s Fair and soo by personal observation what re sources wo have at hand and the liberal and farsighted business policy possessed by somo of our citizens who have contributed to this movemont. The mineral exhibit shows that there is no state in tho un- ion, nor any other foreign coun try, that has moro- valuable or varied deposits, where the cons ditions are such that they can bo mined and manufactured with bettor results, than Georgia. Through tho liborality of the Board of Trade of Savannah, there is in the Forestry exhibit a magnificent display, complete in every respect, from the pine troo to its finished products, in cluding a turpentine plant kind ly loaned by McMillan Bros., with all of the tools needed fur tbo purposo of gathering, mantis facturiug and maiketing this vnluable product iu the stato. All of the bv products of distilled oils from the rosin are admirably shown by that portion of the exhibit furnished by 8. P. Shot ter & Uo. Through tho public spirit and progressivoness ot tho Goorgin Syrup Association the stato dem onstratos tho delicate flavor ot this product in a manner that is attractive to all visitors. Capt. W. W. Sharpe of Waycross do nated a mlnaturo cabin made of Georgia pine Iocs, and occupied by n typical "mammy," who di«' ponses in that way that no other but an anti helium ••mammy” knows, wnllles and cukes made out of Georgia grown’ materials dashed with Georgia cane syrup. Tho results of this display nro manifold. The Georgia stato building, as is generally known, was built by funds contributed by the dif ferent cities of the state, the material for wliich came from the Georgia Saw mill Associa tion, under the direct supervision ol Capt. H. H. Tift of Tifton, Ga. The building is complete in every respect, and attracts as much, if not more, attention thau any ou the grounds, owing to the fact of its boing a repro duction of ••Sutherland,’' the home of General John B Gor don, a typical southern home. It is the only building on the grounds entirely furnished with materials brought from home The Georgia commissioners es teem it a pleasure and a privi lege to receive any and all Geor gians end aid them in making the necessary comparisons for their own satisfaction.

The following account Is from Friday’s Atlieus Banner: Last night the Odd Fellows of Athens and the members of the Uobekali met at the hall in the Carlton Building for Humid r pose of hearic >-M». « from the grand in . ■: > - >: ; e.-Hows of Georgia, Hon. John W. Ben nett, of Waycross. The lodge room was tilled to its utmost soating capacity, and all present enjoyed in the highest degree t lie address ot I lie even ing The address was one of rare in terest to all present, dealing as it did in a most charmipg man ner with the history of the order and giving statistics that were at once full of interest. For more than an hour he held the undivided attention of the large assembly and bis address was frequently interrupted by- applause as be emphasized some special poiut of interest. ^ Grand Master Bennett is well- known in Athens, where be at tended the University law school, from which he was grsduated in the dais of 1880. He has held the office of solicitor general of the Brunswick circuit for some time and is one ot the most prom inent attorneys of that secion of the state. Macon, Aog. 1.—There was filed in the Circuit Court of the United States today, a bill in equity by the - Ensign-Orcamp Company, a corporation of the state of West Virginia, against the Atlantic and Birmingham Railway, the Brunswick and Birmingham Railway Company, the Brunswick and Birmingham Construction Company, and the Atlantic and Western Construe tion Company, the Knickerbock Trust Campany, and C. D. Ogg, commissioner appointed by the Superior Court of Glynn county for the purpose of making a sale of the properties of the Bruns wick and Birmingham Railway, the prayer of which bilk is that the court issue a restraining or der forbiding the sale of the property by the commissioner as advertised Aug. 2.. and further, that a receiver be appointed to protect the interests of the mi nority stockholders from a col lusion of the above named com panies. The document filed is a vo luminous one, and contains some salty charges against the pres ent management of the proper 1 ties of the Brunswick and Bir mingham. It is charged that al together there has been a huge scheme on the part ot the Knick erbocker Trust - Company, and othor companies named, to get posession of the Brunswick and Birmingham. There is enumerated the dif ferent plans that have been ins augurated pursuant to this end It is claimed that Charles Hyde, the present chairman of the board of directors of the road, holds a majority of the stock of both the construction companies and that the construct'on com panies hold the majority of the railroad company. The petition states further that the entire control of the Brunswick and Birmingham company is there fore in the hands of Mr. Charles Hyde, chairman of the board. It is charged that the ontire proceeding in the state court, of which the Knickerbocker Trust Company was a party, was only a part of the plan for getting possession of the Brunswick and Birmingham properties. It is charged that inasmuch as the en tire number of stockholders were not willing that the sale should take place that they could show a good title only bv having the property sold at public outcry. The EoBign-Oscamp Company claims to hold $9,000 in bonds, and together with interest to have a claim of $147,000, which '--{.it is said will be lost unless the plsns of the companies are stop ped by the court. The most flagrant extrava gance is charged against the preseut management, who, it is said, are "squandering the $40,- 000 per month income of the r.iad.” The petitioners say that it is useless to appeal to the di rectors of the company, or to the majority of the stockholders, for the roasou that they are ail into the scheme to freeze out the mi nority stockholders and bondhold era. Judge Speer has issued a rule nisi requiring the defendants to appear at Ut. Airy Aug. 8 and show cause why a receiver should not be appointed, and in the meantime there was issued an or der restraining Mr. Ogg from proceeding with the sale.
