•*T want to make a suggestion," paid a
gentleman yesterday. In speaking 6f the
fair exhibits.
T would like to see a collection of
hooks by Geoigla authors exhibited at
tho fair. Do you know that thia would
be a remarkable and quite Interesting
collection? Beginning, say with Whlto'r
History, one of the best histories of Geor
K luted, despite the fact that It
i and printed some seventy-
five years or moro geo. and taking in the
many humorous works of Major Thomp
son. Major Jones' Courtship. Rut Lovln-
good's Tales, Pukesborough Tales, and
others of which there were many; the
various histories of Georgia by a dozen
authors; the numerous school books, nil
of them standard; sum an Banford'r
Arithmetic. Prof. Derry’s '*
Hayne. Sidney Lnnlfr, Richard Wilde:
the evor-llving hooks' of JJncle Remus;
the stories of Will HXrbeh. Harry Still
well Edwards, and a perfect liost of
others. You can see what a wonderful
loxblblt this would be. It would Surprise
the people .to sea-’ this arra>«. of! books

REPUBLICANS FIGHT IN
THOMASVJLLE. Ga. Oct. 11—Tho
republican party Jn Georgia seems to
have Its eye on the second congres
sional district and a strong effort I*
going to be made to carry It for Taft.
At the organization of the Taft
Prosperity Club In Albany this week
J. L. Phillips of this city, republican
elector, was mado chairman of the
Thomas county branch of tho organiza
tion; Postmaster Dlsmuke of Thomas-
vllle and Wilson Brooke of Boston,
were present at the meetlhg as dele
gates from Thomas county. It was
decided that an active campaign would
be mado to carry the district for Taft
and the republican national commit
tee has promised to send d speaker
here from among the inoflt prominent
men of tho party. 1 Postmaster Din-
muko states that this speaker will
probably be either Senator Beveridge
of Indiana, or Hon. Leslie M. Shaw.
It Is reported that the speaking will
take piece here at the time of tho
Thomas County Farmers’ Fair so an to
catch as large a crowd M‘ possible, but
nothing definite han yet been decided
upon a» to the exact dato.
Tho second district and especially
Thomas county is a sort of bone of
contention among the various political
K rtles this year, and there seems to
an Idea that some of them will be
able to wrest It away from the demo
cratic party. They will probably find
themselves badly mistaken after the
votes are counted In November.
BATEAU IS OVERTURNS
SPILLING NEGROES IN RIVER
SAVANNAH, Oa.. Oct. 11—Struck
by the propeller of the steamship Glty
of Columbus as she was swinging out
from her berth preparatory to sailing
for New York last night, a bateau con
taining two negroes was overturned
near ths Ocean Steamship Company
docks. Both negroes were rescued,but
tho accident caused much excitement
on tho wharf, especially among tho
negro stevedores, as It waa thought for
several minutes that one of the men
was drowned.
The negroes were Frank Wober,
who lives at Hardeevlllo and W. M.
Guerry. who Uvea up the Savannah
river oclow Ifardeovllle. Both had been
to the city for their Saturday shopping
and with a good cargo of provisions
for this week, had begun the long row
homeward.
The boat swung euddenly out too
dose to the big steamer’s wnoel and In
an Instant It struck the batoau and
sunk it. Webber leaped for a piling
and caught It and was fished out, but
Guerry dlsapeared. Five or ten min
utes elapsed and his friends thought
he was lost when It was discovered
that he had come up under the dock.
He was dragged out. Both were badly
scared. The boat and groceries were
lost.
COTTON FOflfBETTER PRICE
STATESBORO. Oa. Oct. 11—There
appears io be a disposition on the part
of the farmers of Bulloch county to
hold their cotton for better prices. A
number of the most prominent farmers
In the state have expressed It as their
opinion that better price* would pre
vail later in the season.
The receipts are considerably off to
what they Wpre only a few day* ego,
for some reason. About the first of the
month, when a number of obligation*
were due and had to be met, cotton
came In at An unprecedented rate,
tha average dA|ly receipt* being W0 to
100 bales. For the last few days only
50 and 71 bales have been coming In.
Statesboro has the reputation of be
ing the best cotton market In this part
of the state. e«.d the farmers of five
counties bring the majority of the cot
ton hers for ssle. The market has
been off considerably for the last two
or three days, and this had ths ef
fect of keeping down the receipts in
spite of all these /acts, however, ^e
farmers are determined to hold In the
hope of better prices. The Farmers’
Union warehouse win not be completed
In'time to store hiUch.jcottoti this ees-
"Whercas. the establishment of such j gJKJS*
an enterprise In this ' olty will be of
incalculable benefit to our people gen- I
crally. and to that end tho promoters i
thereof should and will receive the;
support of our people In every reason

"Now, therefore, be.lt resolved, bv

pleasure the contemplated establish
