The Georgia State Fair of 1904 was
formally opened at Central City Park
yesterday morning. Tremendous were
the crowds and the people were sat
isfied. Fair weather was Just what
the Fair man hoped for and it was
theirs. Nearly everything that la to
be Included In the personnel of the
Fair was on hand. There was no de
lay. Thousands came, viewed, saun
tered about the grounds, then left to
come again.
Although the gates leading Into the
spacious grounds of Central City Park
were thrown open to those holding
tickets at 10 o'clock, the formal open
ing of the Fair did not take place until
12 o'clock.
The Formal Opening.
Georgia's State Fair was formally
opened In the Smith Art Hall at noon.
The Boys Band of the Georgia Indus
trial Home opened the ceremonies by
rendering several selections, among
which were "My Old Kentucky Home,"
"The Bonnie Blue Flag" and "Dixie."
These selections Were admirably exe
cuted and proved conclusively the
worth of Its members as musicians.
When the speaking began a large
attendance was present. Vice-Presi
dent George A. smith of the Macon
Fair Association was the first to speak.
Mr. Smith's remarks were mainly in
troductory. He spoke briefly upon the
Fair and the work accomplished by Its
directors and the Macon Fair Associa
tion, and apropos of the circus told
the story of the "Royal Bengal Tiger.”
In closing he Introduced Mr. G. C.
Matthews, of the Macon Telegraph.
His speech was one of welcome and
one congratulating the Fair directors
upon their success In surmounting the
many obstacles that fell In their path.
He called especial attention to the ef
ficiency of President Cabanlss and
Vice-President Smith, and referred to
the promise made a year ago, on a like
occasion, that the people of MaCOrf
would provide for the Fair, regardless
of cost. He then Introduced Hon.
Dudley M. Hughes, president of the
State Agricultural Society, who was
the closing.speaker.
President Hughes responded to the
warm welcome extended on behalf of
the Fair Association by Mr. Matthews,
calling attention the general excel
lence of the Fair as he had found it
on entering the grounds. Mr. Hughes
stated that It gave him dellgnt to he
able to direct his remarks to those who
had been ao successful In arranging
the Fair and to their friends. "Geor
gia," said Mr. Hughes, "does not need
fairs primarily to exploit its products.
It Is a well known fact that Georgia Is
the second cotton state In the Union.
She Is first In peaches and In many
other things and will be first In many
more. Beneath her soil there Is
wealth untold and an even greater
wealth In the enterprise of her citizens.
"I thank you, gentlemen, for extend
ing to me this courtesy. I thank you
for your enthusiasm and I moat cor
dially reapond to the remarka made ao
, eloquently by the former speakers.
The Attendance.

yesterday were very large and for an

"We are now concluding & trip of
1,800 miles which has occupied ten
days. Wo have crossed the state three
hundred miles enst and west three
times, and once north and qouth, visit
ing seventy-eight cities nnd towns,
At night, at the large places, we have
had two separate metlngs. The num

have gone through twenty-eight coun
ties, being more than half of the coun
ties of the state, containing about three
fourths of Its population.
'Among the speakers were two
United States senators, and three ex-
Unlted States senators, two of whom
had been governors of their states.
We have been received everywhere
with the moat respectful attention and
In most places with much enthusiasm.
State Probably Democratic.
"Wherever we hnd oportunlty to con
fer with local party leaders we have
heard of it number of Republicans who
have announced their intention to vote
the Democratic ticket. There Is no
dissatisfaction anywhere so far as we
have learned, among the Democrats,
and all those who auported McKinley
are now in line again. We believe that
there will be less fraud at the ballot
box than heretofore, as tha pepple
seetn to be determined to have u fnir
election. General belief among the par
ty leaders Is that the state will go
Democratic.
The candidate will go to Kenova to
night where his car will be transferr
ed to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
Tomorrow ho will go to Pdrkereburg
where he will confer with the state
leaders and attend the Bryan meet
ing Friday night. It Is now his In

of Great Conflict in tha
Far East.
There has been an end. for the
time being, of the fighting on a
large scale which began when, on
October 9, General Kuropotkln
announced to hla nrmy that the
time had arrived for an advance
against the Japanese. Heavy
ralna and consequent bad roads
have made military operations
on either side extremely difficult
If not Impossible.
The interruption, according to
advices received at 8t Petere-*
burg. Is being utilized by both tho
Russian and Japnneso command
ers In making new dispositions
of forces, snd new objective
points are likely to develop when
active operations are resumed.
A Tokio dispatch states that

Vies Chancellor PiPtney. Dissolves
Temporary Injunction Against the
Proposed Tobacco Merger.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—Vic* Chancel,
lor Pitney In Jraey City today* hear^
further arguments on the rule to show
cause why the Consolidated, Contin
ental and American Tobacco Compan
ies should not be restrained from car
rying out the proposed merger.
After hearing the arguments of both
sides Vice Chancellor Pitnel dissolved
the temporary Injunction and dlsmtoe
ed the bill of complaint
On October 11, Allan H. Strong, of
counsel for the complainant, raised a
question as to whether the Morton
Trust Company, as trustee, really had
the bonds which the promoters of the
merger claimed It had. The court ap
pointed Halsey M. Barrett as master
to axamlne the bonds and today
handed up hla report, but it waa not
filed.
Counsel for the promoters said that
the report would show that there Is
on deposit with the trust company
more than a majority of the 8187.000.-
000 of bonds necessary for the directors
to carry out the scheme. Mr. Strong,
however, said that some of the bonds
had been signed for, thereby making
duplications possible. Mr. Strong con
tended that the only way to ascertain
with correctness the amount of bonds
held by the company was by furnishing
the number of each bond, and that the
bonds must have been owned by the
signers of the proposed contract at tha
time they signed.
The court said taht the best contract
possible would be the depositing of a
majority of the bonds.
BOSTON, Oct. 19,—An attempt wai
made today by the committee on can
one of the Episcopal house of deputies
to arrange a compromise between that
body and the hou«o of bishops. The
blshopH had adopted an amendment the Ru
forbldlng the remarriage of divorced There is
perrons, while the deputies hnd de- that affairs at JPi
dined to adopt so rigid a provision, ing n crlsle
notwithstanding the fact thnt u inn- end Is only n qu
Jorlty of them took a stand similar to
that of he house of bishops.
Tha commltee on canons offered n
resolution compelling divorced persona
seeking re-mnrrlage to wait one year
after the decree of tho court had been
Issued • before tho aolmnlxntton of the
ceremony. By this resolution which
referrsd to the Innocent persons In a
dlvorct for Inftdollty only, It was hop
ed to secure at least a temporary
agreement between the two forces. Af
ter some debate tho divorce Issue was
made a special order for tomorrow.
Request Waa Refused.
The deputies devoted a large part ot
the day to the consideration of
quest from several dioceses for per
mission to use the revised version
the Bible In churches. While the hou
was divided the request was rofusi
by a majority of both clerical and lay
delegates. Dr. C, K. Grammar,
Norfolk, Va., was among those who
spoke for the revised version.
The house of deputlos adopted the
proposed canon establishing courts of
review. The house concurred with
the bishops In appointing a Joint com
mission to consider the question of In
stltutlng a system of suffragan blah
op*.
In the house of bishops, Bishop Hen
ry C. Potter, of New York, chairman of
the standing committee on the rela
tions of capital and labor, presented
a lengthy report which touched upon
certain avlls the committee found and
discussed the Industrial situation at
great length.
The report says In aprt:
"While we condemn the tryanny and
turbulence of the labor union and call
upon the law to preserve the liberty of
every citizen to employ whom he will
and to work for whom he will, we de
precate the hasty temper, which, in
condemning the errors of the unions,
condemns at the same time the whole
movement with which they are con
nected. The offences of the union
•re as distinct from the cause for
which the organisation of labor stands,
as the Inquisition is distinct from the
gospel.
Organization a Good Thing.
In the face of a prejudice and an
hostility for which there are serious
reasons, we are convinced that the
organisation of labor Is essential to
the well being of the working people.
Its purpose la to maintain such a
standard of wages, hours and condi
tions aa shall afford every men an op
portunity to grow In mind and In
heart, without organisation the stand
ard cannot be maintained In the midst
of our present commercial conditions.
'The employment of children In fac
tories and mils depresses wages, de
stroys homes snd depreciates the hu
man stock. Whatever Interferes with
tha proper nurture and education of
child contradicts the best Interests
of the nation. We call, then, on Chris
tian employers and on Christian par
ent* to endeavor to secure dbch better-
ment of the local and general laws as
shall make the labor of^hitdrea Im
possible in this Christian country.**
Ths bishops endorsed colored work
In the South and recommended that
larger appropriation* be made for It.

Port Arthur Crisis.
TOKIO, Oct. 19.—No reports from
