THE MACON TELEGRAPH. MACON. GA.. SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 3, 1894. 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 wilt arrive ta Macon this morning to spend the day at the Dixie Fair. It w«l be the largest body of distin guished men that Macon has ever en tertained. and she Is Preparing to tjo the entertaining ki tier usual hospif-abie * A i-DCcIal ‘train bearing the •leEjjk- tive party will arrive in about 10 o'clock over the Central^rood* The triin will run direct to the fair•rounds acvI side-tracked for grounds. «o don't make the mistake or floe kins to the depot thUJ morning to meet the governor and party, but go to the park just us early aa you can get there and see the entire legislature of Georgia alight from the special train. The trahi will be met at Uhe grounds by the mayor aud council of Macon, a. committee from the Chamber of Commerce, the president and execu tive committee of the Georgia State Agricultural Society, and the president, board of directors and executive com mittee of the Dixie Fair Asiwclatiou. who have been invited to pamlelate in the reception to Governor Atkin son and the legislature. Several bands of music will make welcoming melo dies a’s the train pull* into the park and will head 'the procession to the president’s cottage, where a sort or In formal reception will be held. Utter which speedhes will be delivered from tihe band atand in the half-mile track. ' . SENATOR BACON AT HOME.

Then the aoeedhmaklng will be over, and the governor, sta/te house officers and legislators will be taken In charge by the committees to see as much of the Dixie Fair as ft I4 possible to see In one day. They will witness Pompeii a‘t night, and see two magnificent set .pleccu rep resenting Governor Atkinson and Uni ted States Senator Bacon. The pictures of these two distinguished Georgians •will be presented In fire, making one of the most novel eights ever witnessed in Georgia. Special arrangements have been made for taking care of the legis lative party at Pompeii tonight, and nothing will be lef t undone that will add to their (pleasure and comfort. COLUMBUS* DAY. This is Columbus Day, according to the .official programme, and a large number of Columbus people will come in on the special train this morning. An lQffttatfon was extended to lue mayor and council otf Columbus to be present today as the special guests of the Dixie Fair, and Information comes from Columbus that the Invitation has been accented and that the maybr and council, together wflth a large body of prominent citizens, will be over. NO POMPEII LAST NIGHT. Ten thousand people were disappoint ed last night In not being able to wit- news Ithe great spectacle Pompeii. The 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 wbuld be beat to get down e*rUu in dr- 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 free for all would not'come oft In the mud. but several thousand took posses sion of. the grand stand to ace *ome good racing anyhow, and will wadt till 10 o’clock today to see the other ones.

The lestefl.Tture will leave on the Cen tral’s special train at 7 o'clock tomor row morning. and will enjoy the attrac tions bf the fair until 11 o'clock tutnor- 'row night, when the special will start on the return trip to Atlanta. Governor Atktpeon will very probably go alone with tSe legislature. “ 1 1 iMaJ. Bacon will be one of the party. If his reception a t home Id In keeping with tho enthuslustlc congratulatlonis that have showered upon him here, tt will be an ovation worth. d trip to Mac con to witness. V The mayor and city council and direc tors of the Cotton States nnd Interna, tlonal Exposition Company will also go on the Central’s special with the legis 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.
