THE MACON TELEGRAPH. K«:*fclUh*d I«M. Telegraph PubllibiniCOH l*«blUh«r. MACON. GA. TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 6, 1894. fUngWCapjr, » Cat*. STILL Til MS. Great Crowds of People Con tinue to FM to tlie Fair. EVERYTHING IN FULL BLAST The Big Exposition Conceded by Every Attendant to Be as Great xis Ever. MACON DAY THE BIGGEST OP AtL Personal Appeal to Every Macon Citizen by the executive Committee of the Exposition Compaujr—Let All the People <3o Down* If there was any one who doubted that the Dixie Fair would bo as Hood this week ns last, they had abundant reason to change their minds yester day. It was the flame great, big fair yes terday as it was last week, except that everything hnjl been brushed up, the exhibits rearranged aud tlie entire fair started off fresh and new. The attendance was also satisfac tory, although It was conceded that the . crowd was not as largo as it will bo tomorrow, aud, perhaps, not so kugo ns today’s crowd will ho. Every one is counting on Wednesday . for the greatest day of the fair, and many predict that the attendance on Wednesday will b£ twice os largo as on any previous day. It is Macon Day and only enough people to watch the stores and homes should rcmoln away from the fair grounds tomorrow. The attendance should not he less than SO,- 000, and it would bo the right thing for Macon to give the fair that size crowd all by herself. A good deal Is said at different times about patrlotlo pride and such, but to morrow Is the time and the Dixie Fair the place for every patriotic citizen of Macon to show his town pride In the right sort of way. The Dixie Fair has cost a lot money—more money than was possible to get out of a fair during such hard times. But Macon is noth ing if not liberal, and she decided not to let hard times. Interfere" with her giving the people of D'Xtlo the best fair ever held In the South. She Ids done It, and the effort has cost her some thing. It now remains for tlio public, and especially the Macon public, to make up whatever deficiency there may be in the receipts. A. big crowd tomorrow will do this—It should be every Macon man’s boast tomorrow to say: “I have paid for a ticket to the Dixie Fair today.” It has been suggested to the direc tors that they call In every compli mentary ticket tomorrow, giving up even their own tickets, charging tho president, secretary and executive com' mlttee BO cents each to get In, and appealing solely to city pride to stand by the managers In their effort to make the biggest fair ever held In the South pay expenses. Tho directors have been loth to do this, hu: hundreds of people who hold comp'lmentarles them selves have suggested It and say they are willing to buy just as many tickets ns anybody else. They hold that Ma con cannot afford to make a financial failure of bucU a great show, and. they want to see a good many thousands takenrlu at the gates tomorrow. EVERYBODY SHOULD CLOSE. One of tho main efforts Is to have every business house la the city close tomorrow and to Induce the people to observe the day as a general holiday. This in itself would practically insure the financial success of tho fair, for then everybody could attend and every body would attend; for a man would feet lonesome walking the deserted streets of the city atid would rush to the park to get in a crowd. • The effort Is to Jtavo everything closed tight as a drum tomorrow. Tho committees having this work in charge say the closing movement will be gen eral, and ihey are meeting with great encouragement on tills line. Stores, shops, offices and everything that Is possible to close will take a flay off and sec'tbe great fa.r. It may be a long time before such another fair Is seen In Georgia, and the more one sees of the Dixie Fair the more does ho learn of the resources of bis own state. ’ AN OPEN LETTER. To the Macon Public: We beg here by to officially announce that Wednes day, November 7. is Macon day at the Dixie Interstate Fair. It Is the last day but one of the grandest exposition ever held in the erutc of Georgia and one of the best , -.vi h.-Stj, in the South. TVe cap say this wtrbout fear of the charge of egotism. This great fair has not been any private undertaking from which any one Individual more than another could, on account of his con nection with the exposition, derive *ny particular benefit. The credit for this exposition belongs to tbe whole people of Macon. It Is a Macon undertaking and Macon, her publlc'splrlt thorough ly aroused, should feel a great sense of pride in the result of nine months' preparation for this exposition. Tr.e directors of the luifeTff Exposi tion Company point to tho grand object lesson of the resources of our great Empire .Stale that has been and now is apreid out in the building at our exroshion_grounds. O'er 12.000 feet of space la covered with displays which for variety nnd magi licence t-mnot Co eualled by anqy sis' • m tin- Union. The Immense urea Set apart for ex pos.tkxn purposes is literally covered with exhibits or attractions that have com* from twenty states to take part in what is acknowledged to be the great axposttion of tile South for 1S91. The varied attractions and the detail of this exposition requires more space than can be given to tell, but wc must dtvsw your actetton to another feature Uf this great undertaking. Notwithstanding the most economical management, the expense of this expo sition has 'been unusually heavy. The full amount of stock at first subscribed to the com [Ail y has not been paid in and we (ear never will be paid. The attendance he* been wonderfully good considering the hard times, and in a general way Che paitronage nat been what unler the c.frcumstantes might have been expected But it Is nevertheless n fact that un less the people orf Macon ar * prepare 1 to Rhow their patriotism, their enter prise and their appreciation of die great work Chat has bean done for t ill city through the Dixie interstate Pair, nunclal failure must' result and the di rectors will find themselves pressed with obligations they ore unable to fulfill. It would be unfair; it would even be omali and mean—it would be a serious reflection upon Macon if her peoplo now, after all the credit has been reap ed by them, should throw the burden upon the directors, wlio have done their work freely and without hope of reward—save tbe general good. The people of Macon can by .unani mous consent place 'the Maoon Exposi tion Company on a good financial foot ing. If ‘the people of -Macon will on Macon day turn out and attend ate Dixie Interstate Fair they can now at the last-moment Insure success, finan cial and in every respect, and so crown the efforts of -those who liave sought to help thetr city wltll hour alnd credit. Will you do It? We think you will. Mn.con does not fail In matters of this kind. It is merely an Indorsement of our efforts and only a mark of appre ciation of an exposition concerning whloh there has been but one opinion. We call upon the citizens of Macon to make this Macon's day tlhe greatest of 'them all. We call upon the merchants to give a half holiday to their employes on "Macon Day." We call upon every good citizen to help us. and we look with confidence to Macon 8 Day tfor our success. The free list will foe suspended on Macons Day. All Macon people hold ing complimentary tickets are hereby notified that no complimentary tickets will be honored. Tie officials of the exposition. The officials of the exposi tion and their families not excepted. Remember, absolutely no free Hat ex cept to exhibitors and helpers. A special and most attractive pro gramme has been arranged for Ma con Jy&y.” None of the exhibits will be removed. Everything will be kept Intact, with a full llnd of attractions. People of Macon, the eyes of all Georgia' are upon you. By .this publi cation we throw the responsibility on your shoulders. A large attendance on Macon's Day Insures ithe financial success of the grebt Dixie Interstate Fair. Inertlon, lack of public spirit, of pa triotism* of enterprise an of apprecia tion of work done !n your behalf will be shown by a small attendance. Tickets will be placed on sale today and If you cannot possibly go to the grounds buy a (ticket, anyhow. The issue is with vou: decide it on Macon's Day. jmd let us hope that no one connected with this enterprise will regret- ever having undertaken It. V«ry (truly yours. .H. Horne. Sam Altmayer. N.

This places the price of admission within it he reach of all. and as the fair is in full blast ait night those who cannot attend In the day can do so at night, EVERYTHING iN FULfc BLAST. Tltere was not a prize pumpkin, nor a (lancing hall, nor an agricultural ex hibit, nor a side -Jhow out of place yes terday. Everything was there,’ and those who went had a better oppor tunity than ever to see and examine the many interesting aud attractive things to be seen. All of ithe- special attractions, such as the Midway, Phlllion, Professor Granada and the De Comas, did.their usual turns and the crowds at every performance were large. Pompeii drew several thousand people last night and the day wound up just as big a success In every respect as any previous day of the big fair. BEGINNING TO REALIZE IT, Visitors to (the fair seem to be Just beginning to realize what a wonderful exhibit la to be seen In the poultry department, and this department was crowded, throughout the day. Ten. thousand) chickens, pigeons, geese, ducks and guineas Is (Something to think over in one chicken show, but just that many fancy birds are on ex hibition at the Dixie Fair. If there is any department in the big fair In which Secretary Knapp has been more Interested than another it has been the poultry department, and he has done some remarkable work as one of the heads of this department. He started out months ago to make It the biggest chicken chow ever seen In the South and he made It the greatest ever seen Jo the whole United States, outside of Madison Square Garden. Chicken me all agree that !t is the best chicken show ever held In the country, and even they are surprised at Its magnitude. Secretary Knapp <s himself a dhlckeo fancier of long ex perience and has a strong love for the business. For several years his hobby for all men have their hobbles) has been his celebrated White Wyandotte chickens. It hag been a work of love with him, and by giving it his best efforts he has been abble to breed the finest Wyandotte fowls to be found in America. At (the outset MaJ.Knapp entered ten or fifteen coops of his ohoicest birds. It Is gratifying to note that his Interest, ki the poultry show In general, and In White Wyandottes In particular, has been rewarded by the Judges awarding him eleven of the first premiums out of a possible six- teeen. he having taken ten premiums out of fifteen on variety and the only class premium offered. The genial secretary oflfie association was feeling good yesterday when the Judges tied the blue ribbons on his net fowls. THE U/GRICtTL/TURAL. EXHIBITS. Those who have failed to spend at least a half day In the agricultural de partment of the fair have missed a great treat. No fair ever held frn the South ever (Showed nearly so many magnificent agricultural exhibits. They xe all wonders to behold, and are~too xtenslve and grand to specify in de tail. It Is the remark of every one In terested In agriculture that they n«*ver knew before that Georgia really U such a graat agricultural state. The exhibit made by Mr. Bass alone a whole agricultural fair In itself. In It Is shown everything that a man could want to eat or drink or wear, nd all made on one man’s farm. Mr. Bass started after the war with a one-thorse farm and In debt end now SEVEN H FIRES, Almost Simultaneous Conflagrations at Savannah During Yesterday. NO ACCOUNTING EOR THE ORIGIN tComkvued on puce 1) Loagihortmca Cannot Reasonably Bo SnijnoUd and SHU ft la Hard to Hit Upon tho Origin of tho Blames— Mach Damago, Savannah, Ga., Nov. 0.—At 0:30 o’clock this morning flro was discov ered in. the hold of the cotton steamer Sbidby at the Central compress wharf. The fire was In bold No. 3, In which there were about 3.200 bales of cotton. The Skldby had about 10,000 bales aboard. She had about concluded load ing and would have cleared tomorrow. Tbe fire had gained omsldcrablo head way when discovered, and at this writ ing is still burning. At 8:15 o'clock it was discovered tbat there was flro In tho cotton of the held of the steamer Baltimore City at the Gordon press wharf, about a mile away from the scene of the fire on tho Skid- by. Alongside of tho Baltimore City lay the steamer Cnstlegarth, and a few minutes after the discovery that the former’s cotton was afire, u fire was discovered la the fore peak of tho Cts- tlegarth, in which coinparluicut there were about 100 bales of cotton and tho seamen’s clothes. The fire on tho Baltimore.City was but small and was soon put .Hit. On the Castlegarth it was i.iooa obstinate and was not extinguished uuill tno sailors’ clothes had ueeu burned aud all the cotton in tho "compartment more or lees damaged. About an hour after the discovery of the fire on the Baltimore City an alarm of fire' was given from the steamer 8tag, also loading ot Gordon’s wharf along with the Baltimore City and the Castlegarth. This fire proved to ho tho most obstinate of the three at the Uordon ivharf, and it is still burning us this Is being written. The Stag hail on a largo proportion of her cargo. Almost 400 bales have been taken from her hold and the holds of Bio Baltimore City and Castlegarth and put .on lighters. About the time that tlie Stng was reported afire at Gordons wharf, fire broke out In the liotd ot the steamei Delgavth at the Central press ivharf, near tbe Skldby, where the first lire occurred, and in a few minutes the steamer Petunia, also at the Central press wharf, was .reported, afire in her cotton. . • - •. . j The three ships afire »t tills wharf were not over dOO yards apart. Ti.o three other ships afire were a m.lo away at tho outer edge of the city. The fire.on tho'Pctunla was easily otln- gulshed. Tho Delgarth’s fire was ex tinguished when about 303 bales had been damaged. All of tho fires nre now out except those on the -Slag and the Skldty. Tlie loss, as fur us can bo estimated at this time, Is about $D0,Od0. The ships spd the cargoes are covered by iusuraice. As to the origin of the fires there is no nutisfuctory explanation. In tho case of the Stag, a pwMiuorcHce'it glow was seen In her hold a tew minutes be fore tho fire broke out, and it Is sur mised that tho Stag's fire originated In this glow. There has recently been trouble among tho longshoremen In this city, but there Is ttoue now. Last spring the union longshoremen went out ou a strike, but recently a great many of the strikers have returned to stork at the rates at which the non union men were working. 12:03 a. m.—Flro lias Just broken out In the steamship Armenia at tho Cen tral railroad wharf, making seven ves sels now on tho list The fire on tho Armenia was slight and was soon extinguished. All the fires are now extinguished except that on tho Skldby, which Is under complete control. No estimate of the loss U yet obtainable. TWO CHILDREN MURDERED.

Toledo, Oo., Nov. 5.—A Blade special from Paulding, 6., reports tho horrible murder of a boy, aged 7, and It's sister, aged 0, tlie children ot datuuel Good, a prosperous farmer living about two miles from the town. The children started out yesterday to visit a neigh bor, but uot roturn.ng at dark, search ing parties started out. The little bodies were found in a brush heap at daylight. Tito boy's throat was cut from car to ear; the girl was decapi tated and disemboweled, the weapon being all axe. An attempt bad been made to burn tho brush Tcap out it was too wet. It Is thought the girl was outraged and tlie double murder committed to hide the crime. The country 1* up In arms and armed ntea arc searching everywhere for any sus picious persons. FAMILY WITH SMALL-POX. They Lived In the Country and Had No Assistance. Milwaukee, "Wf*., Nov. 5.—A visitor from the country reported three chil dren dead and four others, heMd-'a their mother, very sfdk with small pox 111 the lonely farm house of Fred Kubrji, four miles from Nules Corner, this countv. ICusch’s neighbors refused to go near him, so he haa nursed Ills family as best be could for eight days past. Though up day aud night with the living, he hOH had no time to bury the de.d, and the three bodies were found partially deepm****."! tying where they died. The state hoard or health will give Kusoh, who has not slept for live days, immediate relief. KILLED ON A DUMMY ROAD. Pc-nsscola, Fla,, Nov. 3.—Mrs. Con way, a white woman, was run over and lnstahtly killed by a train on tho dummy line thia evening. The conduc tor and engineer have been at rested, as It Is thought that her death was caused by their negligence. She was at one t.me quite wealthy, aud some of the most prominent people of this city are related to her. Atlanta, Nov. 5.—(Special.)—Both branches of tho legislature adjourned over uutll 3:30 o’clock tomorrow after noon in order to allow sucU members as desired to go home for tho congres sional elections, after hold,tig but a .short session today. The session did nothing at all of con sequence, but tho aouso received sev eral new bills that are destined to cut tf very prominent figure lu the proceed ings of the present general assembly, Ono of theso bills, which was handed In by Mr. Hodges of Bibb county, pro vides for the calling of a constitutional convention some time next year. Tho fact that the present constitution, adopted seventeen years ngo, Is In many important respects seriously be hind the times Is very generally admit ted. And yet It Is almost next to im possible to secure tlie adoption by tho peoplo of needed amendments. A con spicuous case lu point was tho propped Increase in tho number of supremo court Judges. In many other respects as well the constitution Is uot lu ac cord with tho progress of tho state, and many of the best men agree that a con stitutional convention ought to bo pro vided for without any further deity., Mr. Hodges’ bjll authorizes tho gov ernor to call an eUorloa for delegates to tho convention as soon as tho act shall have been passed. Much county is to hnvo tho same number of Uelo- gates In the convention ns It has mem bers In tho house of representatives and each congressional district Is to havo a representative. THE CONVICT QUESTION. Another very important question placed In tho hands of tho house today was the employment ot the state’s con victs at tho expiration of the present lease. The leaso does not run out until after tho present general assembly dis solves and tile solution tf tho problem may btf left to tho next legislature, but at the samo time the present assembly w-,11 set the Irall'Ttr-mwtlonvwnd-pt’oh- nbly furnish a complete solution of tho problem. Tho question df wlint shall Be done with the convicts Is a serious problem. Publlo sentiment is against a renewal of tho lease contract, hut already opposition to working them on tho publlo works has develop ;d to n considerable extent, and other grave difficulties In the way ot such a ays tem havo arisen. If the convicts can not be worked on the public works, with all the peculiar conditions that ex ist Jn Georgia, tho man who fbrnlshea a plan thdt-.wlll bo acceptable will bo accorded tho distinction of ' being a mighty statesman In the land. Mr. HuuBton of DeKalb bring* forth (he first plan, Which la to put tho con victs on a big (arm of not lass than 4,000 nor more than 10,000 acre*, where they shall be occupied in raising sea Island cottona nd such other stanles as will afford least competition to free labor. His bill provides for tho appro- priation of 1125,000 to purchase (ho farm, and makes tho governor and at torney general, with live members of the legislature, a board to conduct tho purchase. Mr. Rennet of Wavne has a bill, whloh he presented today, providing that tho oonvlois he put to work on tho public road*. Each senatorial ills-' trlct to be a division, with a farm somewhere in it where female* and others not capable of road work are .o be employed. Each county In the district is to have a representative on the district commission, nppolnted at the recommendation of the grand Jury by the court, and this board is to em ploy an overseer, who shall be an en gineer. Both bills have been sent do th* penitentiary committee. They will doubtless be Joined by more before the session Is over. In connection with the agitation, of the convict lease system it may bo said that this question will probably be one of the leading features of Gov ernor Atkinson’s administration. It Is understood that hl» Idea Is to put tho penitentiary denartment In the hands nf a man who will give such study 10 the question that be will be able to present some good plan to supplant the lease system by the time the gov ernor Is ready to enter upon his secomd term, when the question will havo to be settled. THE OLD BONDS. JThe Have* and Bco!t bonds that have occupied every legislature for twenty years past were presented to the as sembly on schedule time by Hodges of Btbb today. He Introduced the time- honored trill authorizing their payment. Last «i s«lon the bill oassed the house, but the seriate made amcndmenls which tied it up. The struggle over the payment of the bonds last session was particularly Interesting on account of Che point made by Governor Atkin son, who -was then speaker. Ho took the floor and created something of a flutter by declaring that the state should not and could not be made to pay Interest on any past Indebtetfaess, Should this legislature vote to pay ibo Interest, with his views of the case Governor Atkinson would be likely to take out hie vetoing instrument. The house todiy passed the Joint ren-dutlon by Mr. Wright of Floyd, and Messrs. Wright. Harrell, Howell, Worley and Traylor were appointed on a committee to report a. bill having for Its purpose the consolidation of elections. On the seme line Mr. Red ding of Pike has introduced a bill pro viding for a uniform registration law throughout the stale. Another old frierui with a new face mode bk, ftpDc.ir.mee in the bouse to day, In the shape of" a bill for the ap- polntment of a board of medical exam* ers. by Ft.uehe of Floyd. The doctors have had their rows over such a bill as thin every legteljture for yearn plot. Mr.. Fouehe pnoposrn to settle the dler tsjte by having throe boards of thrro members each, fine board to be homoe opathic. another allopathic and the third eclectic gtaduntois of the different scobolu being required to pace nvunter at the hands of their rettuevtive boards. Mr. McCarthy of DeKalb Ibduy intro duced u bill whloh if it becomes a law will work a greott change in- the public sohol system of the ids to. It takes from the county school commissioner the right to designate the textbooks used and placets in <tihe bonds of She etate sohbol comimlastoner '.lie duty of pre scribing 'textbooks for the entire static. It Is claimed that tthe change would se cure uniformity of textbooks and do away with other evils of the present system. ATLANTA IS SHOCKED. The Bill Board Pictures Too Muoh for ithe People There. Atlanta. Nov. 5.—(Speeistl.—A wave of virtuous indignation has struck At lanta. All the ladles afternoon Bocfe- lies and e'derty getutlenveu of highly moral proclivities are up in arms, not to mention being down on legs, at the high urt show hi-tin. First It was the pic ture ot a pretily little girl In blue tights, Posted 'by the "Black Sheep" companty, that offended. It was generally de nounced by the ladles' societies and some of tho church ipeopla. The more tihe PioturcH wore discussed the more threatening was the aspect of the ntnrm cloud raised by tho W. C. T. U. ladles. As a 'rule, 'the men didn't take ithe cose seriously, and there were na tangible rCHUlta until yesterday, Wheni Martin Dooly, the then.!or bill poster, was plocol under orroBt to displaying o "'aland of Lillian Lewis' "Cleopatra.” The -ploture -reproserjte the figures of An tony and Cleopatra. It is fair to pre sumo that the nuked facia of history were slighted by the artist when he de vised the costume worn by Cleopatra as she appeared In the objectionable ploture. Tho noble Antony was not overdrensed either. Blil-potstcr Dooly soon perceived his mistake after put ting alp ithe bills, and soon had a squad of men nit work canceling the beauties ot the Egyptian beuuity by plastering her with date sheets. But even this did not satisfy, nnd Dooly waa arraigned in the police court for his offense. The Indies were not pre pared, however, nnd the case goes over until Inter in the week. Just what tho oruaade againtii 'the naughty'bill boards will result in la difficult .to predict. The only effect so far hue been to puck the house iwhcnaver one of the proscribed attractions has a date. Today Bill-power Dooly had postern to put un for a burlesque. He submit ted tho pictures to.the censorship of the police, who IlnnJIy allowed him to pro ceed, on condition that the todies In the pictures should have their shapely fig ures covered up with the date sheets, beneath which CleoDAtra Is now found on every dead wall in town. A ballot In bloomers will probably be next. FBEEDMElf'S AID SOCIETY. Meeting of tbo "General Committee Held In Now York.
