IMTrD C'TI?' r Hi BO iri I th-o rA 11 f’Alrt Scope of Enterprise Has Been Greatly Extended. TREMENDOUS PEELXIUMS Will Be Largest Ever Offered for Ag ricultural Products - $250 Offered for Best Bushel of Wheat-Informa tion as to Exhibits, Etc. The Southern Inter-State Fair, to be held at Atlanta, Oct. 10 to 27, this year, will ho conducted on a liberal basis. Last year’s fair was such a marked suc cess that the business men of Atlanta were ready when the question was broached, to double their subscriptions to the guarantee fund for the Inter-State Fair this fall. So the fund raised, $15,- 000, is ample for greatly extending the scope of the enterprise. Same of the largest premiums ever offered for agricultural products have been arranged for. Indeed, those pre miums may well be called phenomenal. Nothing ’ike them ever having been con sidered before by fair managers any where in the country. Think of a $250 premium for the best bushel of wheat; a like sum for the best bushel of oats, and still another premium of the same amount for the best 20 ears of corn. These premiums seem out of all reason, hut they are really offered and.will bo paid out in Atlanta this fail. The list does not stop at the items named. Two hundred and fifty dollars are offered also for each of the following products: The best bushel of Irish potatoes; the best bushel of sweet potatoes; the best bale of hay; the best 20 stalks of upland cotton. And think of it—$250 for the largest pumpkin. Here are premiums that lay within the power of every southern farmer to capture. There will be uo entrance fee charged for exhibits, and no charge for space, so there will be no expense attached to the matter, except, of course, transportation charges. The exhibitors must deliver the articles to the Fair Association in Atlanta. The privilege of contesting for these tremen dous premiums is absolutely free. Resides the “giant premiums” referred to above, the Fair Association offers large premiums for collective agricultural ex hibits made by individuals. The pre miums will he as follows: Three hun dred dollars for the best collective agri cultural exhibit, including grains, grass es. fruits and other agricultural or horti cultural products; $200 for the second best exhibit of this character, and $100 for the third best exhibit. Special attention will be paid to the stock department. The stock show of last year’s fair was the largest ever made in rhe south up to that time. But the premiums will be doubled this year and results will show in proportion. In fact- the premiums in every department will be practically double those of last year. Our farmers should go to work to capture some of these grand premiums. If further information is wanted regard ing t hese premiums, or about any depart ment of the fair, Secretary T. H. Mar tin will he glad to furnish it. His ad dress is 218 Prudential Building, At lanta. SCAB IN POTATOES. The Latest Way of Preventing- It. The Action of Sulplmr Eunies. “I plant an early, a medium .and a late medium potato all at the same time. The season is sure to be favor- nble to one of them and sometimes to all of them. My attention was called to the experiments with sulphur by the New Jersey experiment station, and I at once used sulphur on the fresh cut seed. The resuit was all that the sta tion claimed for it. It not only reduced th\‘ scab, but acted as a stimulant, and the keeping quality of the new crop is greatly improved. The treated seed has kept well for five weeks before planting, and this seed is not so liable to rot. Many seed pieces are sound and good at digging time. 1 regard the use of sulphur on the seed as of very great value. I experimented with sul phur and believe I have made a valu able discovery,” says a Kansas corre spondent in The Rural New Yorker, who describes his experience as fol lows: During the Spamsh-American war the price of sulphur was so high that I was forced to do some thinking. Iu our county (Alien) there are five huge 1,000 retort smelters, with 3.000 work men engaged in smelting zinc, using natural gas for fuel. One of these smelters does not use the regular 350 foot chimney, and the sulphur fumes kill all ,plant life for half a mile around. Workmen in these smelters say that the sulphur fumes cure the worst cases of catarrh in the head. Sulphur fumes drawn into the mouth and held there will kill the exposed nerve in a decayed tooth, so that no more toothache results, and the tooth need not be removed. I reasoned that Obituary Notices Charged for. On and after this date. March 11th, 1890, all obituary notices from any source will be charged for as advertisements at the rate of one- utlf a cent a word, cash to accom pany the copy, or properly vouched Our reason for this rule is that obituary notices occupy space that couid be used by matter of xiore general interest to the av- rage reader, Again the fam- ly of the deceased or com- uttee requesting such publication, re in many instances non-patrons >f the paper, and realiy borrow hem to read the article in which hey alone are interested, hence ur rule charging ail for such pub- icalions, Should copy be sen vithout cash, and you desire copy eturaed, please enclose postage. ORTE REPLIES TO POWERS. prions Complications May Arise From Increase of Duties. Constantinople, April IS.—The porte ’ replied to the third of ' the collective ptes of the powers on the subject of an crease of 3 per cent in duties. The te announces the intention of the gov- ;Unient to adhere to the plan of increas es the duties on account of the bad cou pon of the Turkish finances. The ambassadors have decided to ad- another note to the porte again Ming their objections to such an iu- pase without a previous understanding r th the powers. The pertinacity of the porte threatens have serious results. FUMIGATED WITH SULPHUR. if the fumes of sulphur were so de structive to insects and disease germs and would also kill plant life in the open air these fumes used in a tight building would destroy the scab aerms on potatoes. My cold storage house is 32 by 20 feet inside, built of stone, with double walls and air space between; double floors above, with 20 sheets of paper and three inches of sand between; triple doors at each end, and a venti lator that when closed makes an air tight room that will hold 2,000 to 3,000 bushels of potatoes. I burned a very small amount of sulphur iu this closed room when it contained about 400 bushels of potatoes. The result was that one variety that had sprouted had the sprouts asphyxiated, and they dropped off at the eye. The others failed to show any signs of sprouting until they had been exposed to the daylight some time. In fact, I be came alarmed. For the first time in my life I planted home grown seed that did not show a sign of life. I sold some of this seed, but told every one who bought that I would not war rant it to grow. The potatoes all came up nicely in a shorter period than usual, and the scab germs were entirely destroyed. The potatoes in the cut are treated seed. My wife had 150 glass jars of fruit, 100 quart tin cans and 100 pounds of lard in the storage room. The sulphur fumes destroyed the contents of the cans and penetrated about four inches down into the lard and spoiled that much of it. I have dug the early and medium potatoes, and the crop is free from scab. /The cost of fumigation was less than 1 cent on 400 bushels of seed or lower than when soaked. grande on alcoholism. abama Physician Has Strong Views on Subject. Ioxtgomery, Ala., April 18.—Dr-J. Legrande of Birmingham, president the State Medical association iu ses- here, delivered his annual ad- ss and complimented the state board health on the practicability and econ- y of its yellow fever quarantine ser- e for tlie past two years and advised t a compulsory vaccination law was ecessity in Alabama. He said typhoid er should he included among the dan- ous contagious diseases and that sta les and conditions concerning it Uid be gathered by the association, e called attention to the. fact that ihol had done more than any other w reck the health of humanity, mbition and the dispensary had both ed to attain their desired object.

In Florida many experiments have been made with a view to adopting de vices which will protect orange trees from injury during the periods of se vere cold which at times visit that sec tion. The fact that these periods of cold are infrequent does not relieve the grower from the necessity of providing for their occurrence. The most eco nomic of the devices tested appears to be tlie banking up of trees with dirt or sand. In Florida, as iu Louisiana, this has been found to be a very effective means of protection. The trunks of the older trees can be banked, and tiie younger trees can be almost entirely covered without necessarily causing any damage to the trees. MAT INVOLVE TE WHOLE OF EUROPE America Will Enforce Pay ment of Indemnities. SEISE PORT OF SMYRNA Unless Claims of American Missionaries Against Turkey Are Immediately Adjusted United States Will Take Charge of Turkish Harbor. Washington, April 18.—The United States charge d’affaires at Constanti nople will he directed to inform the sul tan that-this government must insist on the payment without further delay of the indemnity for outrages on American missionaries and destruction of their property, unless prompt action on the sultan’s part anticipates the ultimatum and the debt is discharged before a re sort is made to drastic measures. Several courses have been urged on the president for the collection of the indemnity, which is admitted by the sultan to be due to the American mis sionaries. Consideration has been given to a proposition to seize the port of Smyrna and administer its customs rev enues until the judgment and expenses of collection are cancelled. This course has not been wholly abandoned in the remote contingency that satisfaction is indefinitely delayed. It involves serious complieatious in the Mediterranean, for which the United States is extremely reluctant to assume responsibility for the recovery of so small an amount at the present time. It might precipitate war through Tur key’s sending some of its antiquated warships to Smyrna to resist the tempo rary American occupation. In that event the necessity for sending a large fleet to the Mediterranean would create alarm among the powers and disturb the delicate equillihrium now existing in Europe. Under the circumstances it has been determined to exhaust all resources of peace with confidence that the sultan will be brought to understand that his promises cannot he lightly broken. The proved claims against Turkey in cludes about $300,000 for the destruction of property alone. To these which ad mitted of practically no dispute, there was added the Lentz claim of $40,000 which was presented to Secretary Olnev.

General Douglass described the entry into Frederick, where Barbara, Frietche lived, but General Jackson never siw her. If she owned a United States flag, General Douglass was never able to find it out. Certain he is she never waved it from her casement in challenge to the confederate forces Exports From Pensacola.

Washington, April 24.—A committee of prominent citizens of Columbus ap peared before the rivers and harbors committee of the house today to argue for an appropriation for the improve ment of the Chattahoochee river. Cap tain Flagler, division engineer of the army, who is stationed at Montgomery, has estimated that $86,000 can be eco nomically and profitably used in tko work on the Chattahoochee during the coming year and the Georgians will urge the importance of the appropriation of that amount.

Goods . . Slave Sews trail Notes. A consensus of all tlie evidence ob tained up to date by the Ohio station indicates that fall plowing is the most reliable and profitable method known at present for preventing the ravages of the white grub. American Gardening’s forecast for agricultural seeds in England is, “Scar city, poor quality and high prices like ly. swedes and turnips by no means promising, mangel wurzels disappoint ing, rape very scarce and carrot seed much dearer than usual.” Evidence seems to have accumulated that good silage used with proper care is a safe and valuable food for horses. It would appear that silage would make a good roughage for horses when used in connection with hay or stover and grain, but that the animals should become accustomed to the food by de grees and that this is important when changing from old to new corn or from hay to grass. The great rise in broom corn prices is expected to put up the price of brooms. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers, The famous little pills. Boy Left Home Last Monday and Has Not Returned. Dublin, Ga., April 21.—Don Pullen, the 13-year-old son of Mrs. Annie Pul len of this city, has mysteriously disap peared and no trace of him can be ob tained. He left home Monday morning to go to school. He did not return home in the afternoon, and his mother grow ing alarmed, instituted search for him. It was learned that the hoy, instead of going to school, had been seen walking in the direction of the Oconee river with a gun 011 his shoulder. It is thought that he went into the river swamp and accidentally shot him self, or that he has only run away from home and is trying to conceal his where abouts from his family. INTERESTING CASE TRIED. Ministers Sired Burnett For Damages, Charging Slander. Carrollton, Ga., April24.—The most interesting case on the civil docket in the superior court now in session and perhaps for several years has just been finished. W. D. Jones, a cripple minister, sued A. J. Burnett for $10,000 damages to his character for a slanderous report circu lated by him charging the plaintiff with a foul disorder. The defendant filed a plea admitting the circulation of the words, but justified and went to trial on the truth of the remarks. Several prom inent physicians were sworn to prove the existence of the disorder and after a long and tedious fight, lasting nearly three days, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the defendant.
