fcfingWOopjr, ft Cants.
It Rained lost of tbe Day,
but tbe Attendance
was Large.
THE LEGISLATURE TO-DAY.
Governor Atkinson and tbe Entire
General Assembly Will
Be Here.
CHILDREN OP THE PBBLIC SCHOOLS
W«m at the Fatr Yesterday In Droves,
Although It K»inetl~.v'olumbos Or*
phane Brought Over to Bee
the Big exposition*
It was too bad Chat it rained on Chil
dren’s Day. but still 'the little ones
were all at the fair, and they probably
enjoyed It Just as much running around
In ! tue wet us any other way.
All the schools of tie clity and county
took a holiday Thursday morning,
which Is to Continue until Monday.
Many of them were at the fair Thurs
day, and. therefore, yesterday’s rain
did not make much difference with
them. Those who were not there
Thursday went down early yesterday
morning before the rain started, and
they took in the whole fair Just the
same as if the sun had been Bhlnlnct.
And. indeed, the rata Interfered very
little with the Dixie Fair at all. for
the various exhibits are now all under
one roof and one can put In a good
day viewing the sights and not have
to go out of doors once. By Actual
measurement one can walk under cover
for nearly a mile, by taking In both
sides of the main bulMtag. which he
has to do hi order to see all of the
exhibits, going up one side and down
the other, on both the first and second
floors.
Think of a solid mile of magnificent
exhibits and you have an Idea of what
Is to by seen In the main building at
the Dixie Fair. But. of course, even
that Is not all. for one can walk a mile
or ttyo out of doors and still not see
all that Is to be seen at the big fair.
Most people stayed in doors the greater
part of yesterday, only running but
now and then to take In some of the
outside attractions which they.had not
already seen. ■
ANOTHER LARGE CROWD. .
Many peoplo think the attendance
yesterday was as large us that of
Thursday, but the reports In the secre
tary’s office hist night did not indicate
Shis. The attendance was. In reality,
some less, ’but still wonderfully (large.
The best estimates place the attend
ance for the day at 15.000. but this
number of peoplo was not to bo seen
on the grounds at tiny one time, as
many went away as soon as It began
to look like »n all-day rain, while
others kept coming, thereby making
the number which passed In at the
gates terser than was kidloated^by the
congregated crowd at any one time.
many schools there.
Tho school children were small* and
they didn't show ud like grown people,
but still they were there. ProgBeor Ab
bott, superintendent of the Bibb county
public schools, set the example for the
6,000 and more school children of the
efty and county and went down early,
to enjoy the whole of the day.
He carried down with him Professor
Lawton B. Evans of Augusta, superin
tendent W the Richmond oounty public
schools. *wiho came over with a large
number of Augusta puplla and teachers
yesterday morning to attend the fair.
Professor Evans and his entire party
were greatly pleased and considerably
surprised at the magnitude of the fair,
and they were all glad they came, even
though It rained.
ARABI SCHOOL HERE.
Among the visitors to the Dixie Fair
yiwterdav were Mr. H. J. Ware anu
Misses Maggie M. Bass, Maggie L. Bass.
Dora Brinson and Stella Ray. teachers
of the Atabl Institute, Dooly ounty.
They brought with them one hundred
and tweerty-one girls and boys, pupils of
the Institute, and it is safe to pay that
no town In Georgia could have sent out
n better advertisement than these stur
dy. brlgbt-looklng representatives of
Geogin's yeomanry. Mr. Ware has been
at Anabl tour years, and has built up
a school that is excelled by none, and
this school makes ArabI what it la more
than any other cause. The entire party
spent the day at the park, and when
they left for home last night they car
ried with them bright recollections of a
day that will not soon fade from mem
ory. Rev. J. J. Hvmnn, so kindly re
membered by Maconltes, accompanied
the forty.
THE COLUMBUS ORPHANS.
One of tiho (happiest parties were the
IlKle orphan school children from Co
lumbus. who were here as the special
guests of the Dixie Fair and Central
railroad on Children’s Day.. The tittle
ones, about 100 strong, were brought
over yesterday morning free of charge
on a special train. They were tastily
uniformed and marched In a body to
the fair and through the different
buildings. Dinner was served them by
a number of kindly disposed ladles,
who attended to the wants of the little
ones with motherly care.
The managers of Pompeii had very
generously tendered tickets to the en
tire body of little orphans, and it la too
bod that the rain cheated them out of
wltnesseing the grand spectacle, which
no doubt all of them would have plea
santly remembered even unto old age.
But. all In all. they enjoyed the day
throughly and went back home last
night with pleasant memories of Ma-
con.
the legislature today.
Governor Atkinson, the slate house
officers and the legislature of Georgia

NO POMPEII LAST NIGHT.
Ten thousand people were disappoint
ed last night In not being able to wit-

rain Is to blame fbr It all, as everything
was in readiness to give one of the
finest productions. oj f?ns piece yet pre
sented. 4'
. Tonight being the lent performance,
there Is no doubt of the fact that the,
attendance will be overwhelming. It

iler to avoid the-rush. Those wn<$hayc
not seen Pompeii should, go down.-to-
hlgh-t* If they have to swim. *
’ PICKPOCKETS AT WORK.
The lance gang of fakirs who came to
Macon 'to do the fair are beginning to
get in their work. They had the crowd
at their mercy yesterday, Jammed as
they were In the different buildings
to keep but of the rain. Thousands of
people stood packed like sardines in a
box ft1 Floral Hall during the latter
part of the evening, and the fakirs
made a killing. Five purses were
snatched from ladles within a half
hour, and it was necessary to place a
special force of detectives on duty
there.
"RAtilNG ON A BAD TRACK.
The weather cleric knew what he was
doing yesterday when it came to the
sending of the rain. It would not have
done for the free for all trot to have
come off without those two winners—
Atkinson and Bacon—being there, and
Just on account of tbcflr absence he
dibwned the track Jn> a thunder shower
of several hours’ duration, but promised
•last night to have it in good shape for
today, when the governor and the next
United States senator will have the op
portunity of seeing the greatest race fbr
the biggest purse ever "trotted on Geor
gia soil.
•Everybody recognized that the great

lature.
Today the members were In high glee
over their prospective visit to the Dixie
fair and the home of the dietlrwtulahed
gentleman whom they have Just chosen
for the high office of senator.
THE BALLOT FOR SENATOR.
There has been some fear expressed
today that there will not be <i quorum
In the legislature Monday and Tuesday,
on account of the election on Tuesday,
and to prevent any complication the
ballot for senator will not bo token un
til Tuesday night at 8:30 o’clock. Th'*', It
Is believed, will give those who go home
for the congressional election nn oppor
tunity to' got back In time to vote for
Muj. Bacon.
Tho Populists have decided to vole
for Judge Hines aa Ihctr candidate for
the senate.
PITTMAN'S RESOLUTION.
In the house today, Mr. Pittman ot
Troupe made another unsuccessful at
tempt to -have hla reeolutllon calling on
the Georgia detection in- congrew to
work £or*tho free and unlimited coinage*,
of silver -passed. Aa ram ae ihc issue
waa.. sprung 'there were all sorie* of fili
bustering movements made to prevent
a, direct expression upon the question
Involved.
Mr. Pittman lh his speech eald he iM
introduced the resolution a/t (the earnest
recommendation of his constituents so
fife'-to get the sent linen t,pf the lcgtelflt
tore on the question Involved, and not
for any effect,on the senatorial situa
tion. '
Mr. Barnes of Richmond,, one of tho
brightest young men in tho house, Lip-
powed thfe resolution. He mid he was a
free sllverlte himself, but couXl not un
derstand the resolution clearly. He
thought everybody wn« entitled to an
understanding, of such an Important
measure, and so moved to send tho res
olution to the committee on the (Rate
of 'the republic, which would give an
opportunity to Investigate ahem.
There were a dozen other motions of
various sorts,
Mr. Rockwell. Judge Turner’s lieu
tenant from Savannah, wanted the
Democratic members of the house to
hold <a caucus on- the resolution. He de
clared that it would be unjust to the
party to allow the Poipullsts (lo have a
voice In saying what shall be the voice
of the Democracy On the greatest ques
tion of the day.
All 'the Democrats agreed with Mr.
Rockwell, but still the struggle went on.
Mr. Hall of Coweta made n ringing
speech against the propriety of the
house or of the legislature in presuming
to instruct or request congressmen to
follow ony policy whatever in oongresa.
He contended that the legislature had
no right to instruct congressmen, but
th-alt this -was the privilege of their Im
mediate constituency. There was al
ready, he said, entirely too much Inter
meddling between branches of the gov
ernment that should be kept entirely
separate nnd distinct. Mr. Hall moved
to indefinitely postpone, which waa op
posed vigorously by Mr. Howell of Ful
ton, who wanted', the legislature to go
upon record on the financial question.
When the yens and nays were called,
Speaker Fleming announced that If the
motion to indefinitely postpone pre
vailed. the resolution** were killed for
tW# session. The -house, however, over
whelmingly voted the motion down, and
finally the resolution went ta tho com
mittee on the state of tho republic.
HODGE MAKES 'A SPEECH.
Mr. Hodge, chairman of that commit
tee, made a vigorous speech before
fJhe vote token to indefinitely
postpone. In which he declared that
the resolutions were in direct conflict
with the Democratic plh-tform. because
they did not require the maintenance
of the parity of goM and silver.
•When the resolutions come out of the
the committee’s hands they will. It is
safe to say, be purged of fielr Popu
list savor.
Mr. Branch, the Populist from Co-
lumla county, bobbed up again today
•with another resolution intended to be
a bombshell on the Democratic side.
His resolution, after reciting a lot of
“whereases” about the salaries of offi
cers of the Judiciary of the state, Con
cluded by calling for an account from
Attorney Genera! Terrell. Mr. Branch
wants -the attorney general to show up
what money he has received sui fees
from the state In addition to the regu
lar 42,000 salary attached lo the office.
He cites, the case of Lord Beresford
and of the Glenn railroad tax act in
the United States supreme court, when
the attorney general received fees from
the Mate and (also the 45.000 fee re
ceived by Attorney General Clifford
Andereon. Mr. Branch says he has no
I mention to impute dishonesty to these
gentlemen, but his purpose la to pass
a law prohibiting the attorney general
from taklntr a. tee from the etate.
Attorney General Terrell »M today
th.it It xu customary for the attorney
general to receive fee* from the state
for aerlvcea rendered In the United
States supreme court. This custom was
bleed upon -the written opinion of
Judge Bleckley and Chief Jastlce Jack-
son that «uoh fees wore lint and legal.
Their opinion In as follows:
WHY THEY GET FEES.
"Being consulted by Hon. Clifford
Anderson, attorney general of Georgia,
on the question of his right to chtirge
foe* ns counsel for services rendered,
or to be rendered, in the supreme court
of the Unttad States tn belhalf of the
Btate ot Georgia lh the argument ot
cases Id that court to which ''.he state
Is n party. X have Investigated the sub
ject <m.| iny opinion Is so Mi.-.vs:
"X. The general rule Is that no civil
officer Is charged wlUi any duty wmioh
Is to be performed .-beyond tho limits
of tho suto. Indeed, -Hie power to act
officially la (limited ordinarily to -the
territory over whlbh tho laws of tho
state operate. Grouting that official

diction ot t!hc shite could be required,
(ho requirement would have to b" made
ill axunoa terms by the constitution
or by some Scute statute.
•*2. No aucCi express requirement has
been made of the attorney goneral of

the constitutional provision touching
that officer means nnv our In the

numerous Sections of the Code, among
them aectjons 3H7. 3t»6. 3191. 3838 nnd
3S41. and wherever used It Is on ab
