THE MACON TELEGRAPH. MACON. GA.. TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 30, 1894. Dally, i Blngl* ( nnii m Visitors to the Dixie Fair Are Here by the Thousands. Everybody and His Brother Came to See Them All and Aro Delighted. SOME BECORD BREAKING RACES Tha Trotting Racord of G.orgla B.otan br a K.ntucky Mara—Big Baaaa Today and Many Othar af tha Graataat Kind of Attractions. Tho second wen of tlio Dlxlo Inter state I-'alr opened with a most encour aging attendance. While It la not fair to hazard a guess, and there are no official figures to go by, it la almost safe fo say that double (he number of people were at Central City Park that attended the exposition on any day last week. They came'from everywhere. 'From Iho montalns of north Georgia 'came the man who has seen frost this win ter wearing an overcoat for fear the weather would mako him feel uncom fortable. There was tlio man from middle Georgia who knew just wbat the weather would be and ho brought along his wife and babies in the good old-fashioned country style, and they nil enjoyed tho show. There was tbo pretty girl from the region of Okefe- nokce who wears summer dresses nil the year and never feels the need of anything else unless It be the lovo of the rustic swain who came along jelth her and held her hand ns they marched through tho region of sldo shows and oriental dancers. They were all here, they all enjoyed themselves and they are nil going' to be here today and enjoy thepiselves even more than they did yesterday. They have como with one purpose— that of enjoyment—and ns lonfas that money which came from the sale of five cents cotton holds out they are go ing to stay here and hnv6 dll' (he fun they can and they couldn't tind a bet ter place to spend that cotton money. They can gazo upon tho products of Georgia's soil—upon com and c.1110, pumpkins and potatoes, cotton and S alt and everything else that grows a: country where God's sun shines more brightly and where His showers descend more seasonably and His soil is more fruitful than anywhere pIso upon this groat big earth. It Is enough —all this—to make them feel more deeply In lovo with old Georgia, to for get for one week the bustle a ml turmoil of business lifo and labor aud the strife and seufflo of politics, to turn their liacks ou all these things and to thank providence that they are allowed to live In such n country. But then they all saw a great deal more than Georgia products. They saw exhibits of machinery ond of everything under tho sun from, every where on tho American continent—and they saw all thoso great freo attrac tions that a generous management 1ms provided for visitors of all classes. They saw Phiton defy the laws of gravita tion. They saw Granada walk across ft wire a hundred feet high with his feet hobbled In a pair of wooden bas kets. They saw tho Dacomas play with their lives on a delicate bicycle balanced on a half-inch wire rope. They heard Henry Card’s band In Its unique ond catchy Coney .Island concert, and they hoard the Sanford Sisters in their wonderful renditions—anil It didn't cost much, either. They all wont to tho Midway and hoard tho follow with tho brazen lungs and tho army mus ket. They heard tho lions roar and they saw tho painted beauties of tho oriental theatres and tho Irish village disporting themselves fn.dlvfded skirts and they saw tho living pictures, and last but not least they saw Pompeii and tho wonderful fireworks that lit up tho old ball park last night—and they enjoyed It all and went homo, satisfied with what they got for their money. IT WAS ATLANTA DAT. Yesterday was Atlanta day. but At. l»nt* was not very much In evidence. Maybe the people who live up shore In the city by the Kimball thought It -wasn't worth while to spend their money to get down to 'Macon for the fair, hut thfy missed It. The tramps up there who seized that freight train the other night and came to the Dixie Fair whether or no exhibited low of sense. They knew a good thing when ♦hey heard about It and they were tc- termlnod not to miss It, although they had no money and ran the risk of do ing time on the chalngang. There were a good many lUlsntlans here, however, and they enjoved the fair. Capt- Evan Howell couldn't get nway from the legislature long enough to make that speech without the free coinage In It, and the people here Were sorry; hut If he'll just hustle Bacon along up there thcyMI promise to ex cuse him for this tittle slip. Bui he should have come, for the Midway beats all the legislatures 111 thcw/orM for a man of the captain's “tempera ment. THE RACING. . And then. Capt. Howell, yon missed the races. You didn't know the Geor gia trotting record was going lo be broken and that pacer* were going •o sidle aroudd the finest of mile truck? In time that would almost make your hair stand on end-lf you're-nct bald- headed. As the boys said, the races yesterday were real, old-time "hois races." The first event on the card-was the 2J5 pace and the purse was 8500. Fly- ' log Prince. Frankie D. and Stockholder were the candidates and they did some floe work. ia the first two team Flying Prion led front the wire arid was pushed only by Frankie D., who showed her same ness when urged along by the rat tling of the chain that was carried by Driver Whitehead. But the Prince was ihe horse for the money and he won out In each heat. In the third heat his princely highness was wrong, or Driver Riley was wrong, and he came In third, Frankie D. winning the heat and Stockholder geKing a close sec ond. The Irhlges thought the fault lay with the driver more than with the horse, and Driver Nuckles took the Prince the next dime and drove sec ond and In the last heat beat Frankie, who broke in the stretch, and .won the money. Stockholder In all the heats xcept the third raced lost to the other (horses. But the event of the day was the •trotting race for 4-yenr-old. for^ stake of 5700. in which Nubbin W.. the Geon gla-ralsdJ horse, went against the Kentucky mare, Olllc K., and was beaten In three successive heats. But Ofile K.'s owners have Uttlo to exult over, for Nrihbln W. Bhowed that the ■wire graas country can raise horses as well as the blue grass country. In each heat the horses had beautiful starts and went neck and neck around the track snd Ollle K. won In the stretch each time. She always re- .«ponded to the urging of her driver and did her best sird that best was just a wee bit better than a horse has ever done on this track or on any track in Georgia. In 1801 Valentine on-the same track made the Georgia record of 2:50 1-2, and a year later Trevllllan went a quarter of & second bettenund set .the pace for Georgia’s trotters nt 2:20 1-4. But Ollle K. has overturned these two Idols of turtmbn. and yes terday, with little urging In the first heat/ went under the string JJ '-jJ flat, and If Nubbin had not broken In the stretch ho might have made the time a quarter of a second fastcr. The running race was a gift for I. c. TV... who ted from the start and came In just as he went under the w!re-nhout two lengths in front of Darius- The en tries In this race were I. C. W.. Darius. *Ed. Butts. Lake Shore und Jllsun. ami they nm homo In the order named, ex- oept that Lake Shore changed places with Ed. Butts. . The summaries wre as follow First race—2:23 pace: purse Se00.

HOW IT WAS TREATED. Mr. -Humphries of Brooks, as soon, the reauest had been read, rose to a point t>£ order, lie held that unotJ'rulo 23 iw member can enter a prcMSV against ihe notion of the house, but that the protest shall not be Iri'itho na ture of an argument and neither shall it Impugn the potion of itho house. Un der this rule. Mr. Humphries claimed the reauest could not be Considered, ns It Impugned the action of the bouse. Mr. I logon explained thart It was Sim ply a. reauest for leave of absence. It •was net a protest ag,v!n.«t tho house, but against the action of tho caucus. Speaker Fleming ruled that it iwus a privileged question, and hence It r .UBt bo consider,'xl at once. He hold It there was a protest in It It could not he en tered on the Journal of the house. Mr. Humphries waited tho protest stricken out of tho communication. “Mr. Hogan Insisted that it was not n protest except a,gainst tho action of tho caucus. "Wo Simply nek leave of ab- renco.” said be. "as wo don'e believe •tho Judiciary of the ntatc should go Into partisan politics." Jlr. Holland of Cobb moved to grant the rooucst and let the gentleman gu. Mr. Rockwell of Clayton could ncc no reason for granting tho request. It was nothing less than a protest against the house. He thought when gentle men came asking for leavo of absence hey should present somo good reason for It. He thought there was no good reason for this request and-It should be refused. Mr. Holland said the request was a reflection on the house. The house could get along without these gentlemen and he thought they ought to bo al lowed to leavo. “Mr. Rockwcl thought that was just why they should bo made tomtay. Mr. Mell of Clarke thought If these men haM been sent here to represent 100,000 peope they should t>o made to stay and perofrm tlielr duty. JONES CAUSED APPLAUSE. Mr. Jones of Dough »ty <»u*d burst of applause by a resolution intro duced by himself as ft substitute for the motion of Mr. Holland. It was that the Populist members have leave o absence as often aud aa long as they desired, provided, that their per diem be deducted from their pay as long*« they -were not present to attend to their business. . . (Jlr. Holland accepted tho substitute Mr. Harrison of Quitman moved to lay the whole business on the table. Mr. Boyd of McDuffie (Populist) called for the nyes and nay*. The call wn» overwhelmingly vote ddown. Tho house .then laid the request on the table. Tho Populist* had their revenge, though. They sat In their sent* all dur ing the session, seeming oblivious of tho fact that there wna nn election go ing on about them. Not one of them voted for eny of the Judges. Senator Nat Harris nominated Judge T. J. Simmons for chief Justice. He was elected for the unexplred term of six years from January 1, 1892. Senator Wilson Dominated Judge Spencer Atkinson for the unexpinxl term of bkxocHio Justice, and lie was elected, he was also elected for the full term. Hon. J. L. Hardeman was nominated by Jlr. Giles of Houston for the unex- plrod term of Judge Bartlett of the Jtacon drcfilt. He was elected for that und also tho full term. Jlr. J. A. Bintcs of Richmond nom inated Hon. E. H. Calloway for Judge of the Augusta circuit, and lto was elected. Jlr. W. A. McDonald of Ware nom inated Hon. J. L. Sweat for Judge of the Brunswlek circuit. He was elected and then the Joint ssnloa dissolved until 3 o'clock and the house adjourned until a quarter before three. A reauest for le»ve of abser.ee was also presented In the senate by the Pop ulists. but it wss -tabled. Mr. -Harrison of Quitman Introduced a blit to esubIMh a reformatory nrtom for juvenile offenders in Georg-*. The bill provide* for the appointment of a commission end for the purchase of a farm on which the youthful urhn Inals of the stake can be refarmed. Mr. Dailey of So-iobo; introduced a bill lo Increase the number of supreme court Judges from three to five. It was about the same bill recently seat to its grave by the people. Mr. Wilson U CUy Introduced s bill for summer sessions of the legislature Instead uf winter sessions. All tho bills were referred to appropri ate committees. HIS FIR3T MESSAGE.
