The Third Day of the Dixie Interstate Fair Another Qraaaoo SuCCudS. lllloi IN SHAPE Yesterday Witnessed a Marvelous In crease in tbo Attendance From Both C'' and Outside. THEBE WILL BE BACKS TODAY Soma of the Bast Horae* ICver Sean In Georgia Will Bo Baton the.Track Thli Afternoon nt 2 O’clock * *-Aa Interesting Pro gramme Today* f k £-~ ' Tile third day of the Dixie Pair opened with line weather and a good <y-wrd. For some unknown couse It looked 0*1. though tho Macon people liad surrendered the pork to the visi tors lor tile day, although last night the Midway was a surging mass of humanity, N Another noticeable and encouraging fact was that the number of people on the streets up town was much,lar ger than the day before, and last night hundreds more arrived. Before reaohlng_the park one can boar the bustle and noise while *gbovo all can be heard tbo fakirs crying out their wares and. tho various aid® at tractions. inside the fair grounds it takes a level-headed person to keep Ills wits about him, and many people miss seeing some of the most important exhibits, because they do not know what to see first. On every side Is an attraction of some kind, and by the time a person starts towards turn; something else attracts his attention and before he has made up his mind he sees a dozen or more things that seem to have been prepared tor his special benefit. i The fair grounds alone furnish a ' groat attraction for visitors, and If this fine weather continues tbo people In fill parts of the United States will be talking about the beautiful park. Ma con people don’t appreciate what t beautiful park they have, but the stran gers within the city’s gates ears 250 acres of the most beautiful and pict uresque natural park to be found any where, and Just at this ‘time of year it ia a picture,. . The Immense Irrest trees are Just bcglnulng to shed their leaves and the air is filled with a re freshing odor of the rcilleut woods. The leaves are tinged with brown and the combination of brown and green makes a perfect blending, even more beautiful than the fresh green of springtime. The flower beds luve suf fered some from cool weather and dust, but are still ■ beautiful and the beds of cold arc greatly admired. The magnificent grounds give the ol ranger a favorable impression that ho oarries away with him. The main fair building contains 1,560, 000 square feet of Space and. every Inch of It Is filled. Nothwlthstuidlng tills, however, new exhibits are arriv ing every day.' DRUMMER’S DAT. Yesterday was Drummer’s day und the “boys" were there In full force.

Drummer’s day should also be called county merchant’s day, as many merchants from the towns of Georgia were there as the guests of the drummers, and right roy alty were they entertained. Macon drummers know how to entertain ns well as sell goods, and so lavish *vere they In their hospitality yesterday Shot many of the country mOnchants who had come to spend only one day at the fair remained over, mvl some o', them who know n good thing whoi ; they see It. said they Intended to stay until the close of tho fair. — THE PROGRAMME.

IN.THE LEGISLATURE. Atlanta, Oct. 20.—(Special.)— 1 The leg islature spent today In consolidating the vote east for governor and .state house officers and In Hearing Governor Northen’s message read. The consolidation shows that tho to tal vote cast for tue two state t ekota was 223,1S3, against 209.4S2 two years ago. It Is quo.of the heaviest votes ever polled In the slate. Governor Atkia3on received 121,049 votes, against .Hines’ IW.SiSS. a major ity of 24,101. • AtkttURm lira -r.R-ffi be hind Oomptroller-Gener.il Wright, who received tho highest vote on the Dem ocratic ticket, while Hines led ills ticket by 3,8-XG votes. . The majority for tlio Democratic ticket over Hines Is 28,407, and the Democratic majority over the Popu list ticket, not counting Hines, 32,,‘i.iU. Following Is tlio total vote cast for all candidates In tin state: For governor—Atkinson, 121,019; Hines, 00,833. For secretary of stato-Candler, 124,- 8U2; Notice, 92,704. For comptroller-general—'Wright, 12o,- 295; Kemp, 92,1411, For treasurer—Hardeman—125,101; Jones, 93,912, For attorney-general—Terrell, 125,- 125; Mahaffey, 92,930. For commissioner of agriculture—Nes bitt, 124,809; Barrett, 92.915. A comparison, shows that about 4,000 voters scratched Atkinson and put Hines at the head of tile Democratlo ticket. ' The consolidation of the returns con sumed almost tho entire day. President Venable of the senate ap pointed his committees on privileges and education, but the house commit tee will not be announced before Tues day, and It Is doubtful whether tho contested seats will be disposed of un til after- tlio senatorial election. Tho Semite committee Is composed of W. It. Little, Bryan Curomlng, W. O. Becks, Harris of the Third, .1. .7. Upchurch, G. W. M. Tatum, W. J. Norton, J. G. Mentor and 11. II. Brown (Populist). THE SENATORIAL CONTEST. Resolutions were passed asking all tho senatorial candidates for tho seuate to address tho members of the legisla ture. MaJ. Bacon speaks Monday nlglit, Garrard on Tuesday night'hind Judge Turner Wednesday night of next week. Judge Turner has the ad vantage of being tho last of tho quar tette to address tho legislative Jury, while Senator Walsh, who spoke to night, opens tlio case, so to speak. Tho baDotting begins next Thursday. Tomorrow afternoon the caucus will undertake to settle the fato of tlio various candidates for judges and so licitors. Today inoaj of tho work has boon done by these gentlemen. They Invaded the floors of both houses ,n prosecuting their canvasses, ucil to night they are working like beaveis THE VACANT JUSTICESHIPS. The race for tin? supreme bench has about simmered down the Judge Spen cer Atkinson of Brunswick and Judge Marshall J. Clarke of Atlanta. Friends of both are eonlhleii', bat Judg Ulnson Is probably the favorite with outsiders. Judge Simmons has no opposition for chief Justice. The other contests that have grown exciting are in the Augusta, Flint, Rome aud western circuits. Hon. Enoch Callawey Is Is-llevcd to bora Judge Roney defeated in th gusto circuit, while lion. Marcus Reck Is picked for the winner in. tho Flint circuit over Judge Hunt and J. Y. Al len. Turnbull bos also pr.Jiably de feated Judge Heliry In Die Rome cir cuit, while In the other circuits a U«v up would doubtless name the victor. WANT TO BEE THE CAUCUS. Today there has been a great deal of dissatisfaction expnsu.ul at the policy of closing the galleries, as well a- the doors when the caucus meets. The candidates think they should bo permitted to witness the election from the gallery. Just as they can be pres cut at au 'election oeforo tho legisla ture. If they are shut .-lit of the cau cus they will not know anything about how the election was conducted.• In tho caucus no record ta bept of tho votes, heuco no candidate will kuow who stood by him and who did not. The further point Is made that the Democrats can have nothing to con ceal from the Populists In tho manner of conducting three leeetioiis, and therefore there Is no good reason for holdfeg a star chamber election Sw*e of the active workers of tho senjArlal candidates feel the same way About the secret caucus. One gen- ttt‘tu|u wont so far as to say today that If the elections are held behind dosed doer* It will-certainly result In troublo to tbj party. Tills caucus Is not lllto the majority of legislative caucuses. Nonet but Democrats'dfio : uniting and the they ting If in- dBdc tomorrow to throw open the galleries when the eleotlbos are held and to admit tho newspaper men to the floor. HAfl WRITTEN NO LETTERS.
