Here la what he thumped: Tho Georgia state fair of IMS, which went Into history at 6 p. m. this day, proved to be—the element of constructive time considered—an un- r*nralle>d success. It was projected alxty-two day* ago under the most unfavorable cir cumstances. For a time it looked r.s though a state fair at Macon this year was an absolute Impossl ull’fy..

Grogan, a Southern Railway yard conductor, which occurred early today In the At lanta hospital. His dying admonition was In behalf of hia little children: ••Talje care of the children. Nora,” he faintly gasped as the little spark of life flickered out. “Tell them to re member their father.” • Conductor Grogan wns run over and fatally injured by a freight train On the Atlanta belt line, near Armour sta tion, this morning at 12:15 o’clock. Mr. Grogan was brought to Atlanta, and died In the Atlanta hospital at 2:25. His wife and mother were with him there, and ho retained consciousness and talked with them till the last. Until a week ago. Mr. Grogan was a main line conductor of the South ern. He was temporarily assigned to the yards. He took up his new duties last Saturday. As a railroad man of several vears’ experience he was wlde- . Iv known, and his tragic death leaves a multitude of friends mojirntng. The accident happened Just as tho mixed train of about twenty-five cars, with Grogan on the front end of therp, was being pushed down the inaiu He* around the Y to Inman, to give the crews a chance for supper. The train had left the Decatur yards a few min utes before. Signalled a Stop. When tho train, with tie engine at the far end. swung around the curve near the Armour house line switch, Mr. Grogan saw the red light on the tank of an engine standing ahead. Not knowing whether it wag on the main line or the house track, hs signalled a quick stop. The emergency brakes were thrown on, and the sudden Jerk hurled the doomed man to the tracks. The train’s momentum carried both trucks of. the car he was standing on. over him. He was picked up dying. Both legs were mangled, and his left hip was crushed. In the same car that had run over him and behind a special engine, the , mutilated man was rushed back to At- lenta. An ambulance met the train at KiJnpson street, and ha'f an hour after the accident Mr. Grogan was in the hospital. His wife and mother were summoned at once. Though he knew that death waited him. the injured n:an talked with the two women at his bedside up until a moment or two before he passed away. Mr. Grogan was 29 years old. He had been married three years. His widow was Miss Nora Patton, of Toc- coa. He Is survived by her and his mother, Mrs. K. T. Crogan of 313 Luclde street, and two little chlldren-- Robcrt Thomas.

Atlanta Prison Officials Don’t Expect to See Him for Several Years ATLANTA, 0«„ Nov. 7.—All Is In readiness for the reception of Charles W. Morse, the New York banker who was sentenced to fifteen yea'.z, at thtf federal prison here, where he is to servo tho term. However, the prison officials do not expect to seo Mr. Morse for several years, as he will undoubtedly fight the case through the higher courts before submitting to the penalty imposed. If Mr. Morse is brought here Inter est will be added to his confinement by reason of the fact that “Pop” Dodge, who figured In tho trial of Abe Hummel, the New York divorce lawyer who was sent to prison for a year because of unprofessional- t »n- duct, lived here ' as manager of tho Arsgon hotel for several years. Dodge confessed to having been In duced by. Hummel to swear falsely in a suit for divorce brought by Morse’s brother. Hummel In reality represented Charles W. Mows. The search and flight to get pos session of Dodge, In which thousands Were spent, is one of the dramatic Incidents of American criminality. Mr. Morse will be allowed no spe cial privileges when he becomes an Inmate of tho penitentiary here. He will have to wear the stripes, perform menial labor, and bo known by a number ns tho other prisoners. Ho will not bo the first noted pris oner tho walls of the* prison have en closed.

WASHINGTON. Nov. T.—There Is a well grounded report In cabinet circles that Ellhu Root will make every effort to Induce W. H. Tsft to release him from the secretaryship of state on March 4. He has gained‘about all the honor that Is to be had In tho cabinet and he Is de sirous of retiring. He would not spurn the senatorshlp to succeed Senator Platt, but he will engage In no scramble *for It.

Among them Is that of Ambassador Whltelaw Reid, who is a close friend of both President Roose velt and Mr. Toft nnd versed In diplo macy. As minister to France, special plenipotentiary to the Jubilee of Queen Victoria and the coronation of King Ed ward and now ambassador to tho court of St James. Mr. Reid's qualifications are recognized. However, there probably will be mors competition for the portfolio of state than for any other in the eahlnet.

THE GREAT GEORGIA STATE FAIR HAD AN AUSPICIOUS CLOSING WITH CROWDS TO VERY LAST Work of Dismantling and Packing up Is Well Under Way. President Jones Thanks and Praisos Those Whose Efforts Insured the uccess of the Fair Tho Maoon Georgia 8tat# Fair cams to an end Itst night. At 11 o'clock tho myriad of lights on Happy Street, the gayest of midways, flashed out, and all was over. Even to the last thero wero crowds on the grounds. Yesterday was Negro Day. and while the patronage ot members of the race was not as large as had been antici pated, the attendance was good never theless. During the ' forenoon and throughout the entlro afternoon the grounds, the buildings and the ftildtvay presented their usual busy aspect- scenes of bustle and activity and of merry-making. About 4 o'clock. ho wev *r. the "break-up" edmmenesd. At that hour, the shows closed, the spieling ceaseu, and the work of dismantling and pack ing started. Only a few of the big attractions remained on Happy Street for the delectation of last night's crowds, while, of course, all of the exhibit halls were dark and sllpnt. There will be Little doing at the fair grounds today, but early tomorrow morning things will • start humming ago In. Practically every dray and hauling wagon In the city will be en gaged in taking away exhibits, tents and lumber to the depots, stores and other places. It will be several days before the big agricultural displays will have been packed for transportation back home, and as much- time - will elapse before all of tho horsemen leave for other tracks. It will be some time, at least, before Central City Paik fails to show evidences of a fair that wns; and it will not be so very long before tho same grounds and the same buildings, with the addition of a few others, will Indicate fly their appear ance tho advent of another fair equal ly as great. "I am. of course, more than delight ed with the outcome of the fair," said President iBen L. Jones last night, looking somewhat relieved as the result of the lifting of tho strain that has rested upon him. "And I feel espe cially grateful to the tnen whoso earn est and energetic co-operation has served to tnnke the fair or.e of tho most successful In the history of tho state,” ho continued. "Without their aid, all would have been a failure. I am particularly appreciative of the groat work done by General Manager W. A. Huff before his unfortunate ac cident. His efforts alone Insured the opening of the fair, with all In peffect readiness, at tho scheduled time. His injury was most regrettable, as it de prived him of seeing tho happy result of all his labors nnd crippled the di recting forco ot the fair to a marked extent. However, the association wan extremely fortunate in having such able assistants to Mr. Huff as Major Winter, Monroe Jones and Hairy Rob erts.” Mr. Jones is also lavish In his praise of Messrs. Frank Powers nnd Jesso Harris, of the privilege and conces sions committee, who were responsi ble for the'organisation of a great midway on Happy Street and for the successful operation of the same. "These two men.” states the president of the fair association, '’sacrificed their personal Interests and worked hard day end night. They received all help required from the other loyal members of their committee. Thanks to Mr. Harris and Mr. Powers, the ehows, the eating stands and similar busi nesses were conducted to tho satisfac tion of the public and to the material and pecuniary heneflt of the fair.” Tho other officials of the fair aaio- clatlon Join with President Jones In complimenting Chief 8*m Weatcott, Lieut. Watson. License Inspector Herrington and the police force in general for the very creditable work none by them during the fair. That there wns never tho least disorder on the grounds was due, they state, to the splendid work of tho police de partment, who patrolled Che grounds and assisted the officer* of the asso ciation In Innumerable ways with great and commendable seal. It Is said that better order obtained on the £ rounds than at any other fair over •Id in Macon. Not only tiie officers but the gen eral public have more than* once ex pressed admiration for tho masterly work done In illuminating the grounds generally and Happy Street in particular. The contract part of this work was done by Morris Putsel, un der the supervision of City Electrician Humphries, who also looked after the methods and arrangements for light ing tho tent-shows and other attrac tions. Before th* ending, President.Jones expressed to President J. J. Conner. Secretary Martin V. Calvin, the de partment superintendents and other officials of the Stats Agricultural So ciety h|a thanks for the part they contributed towards the suc cess of the fair. To them goes much of* the credit for bring ing the fine agricultural dis plays. both county and individual, to tho fair, nnd for tho securing of tne exhibits of machinery, farming Im plements and livo stock. ft remained for the public to show appreciation' of tho race* held during the fair.

Coxe and Noyes in the United States circuit court here, Judge Ward handed down a dissent ing opinion. In tho suit against ths American To- bacco Company, which wns prosecuted by James C. Reynolds and Edwin P.

The government’s complaint against the court today. Extent of the Company’s Operations. The rtult had been In progress for many months and great volumes of tertlmoify were taken by both the government and on behalf of the defendant compnnlrs. It developed from this testimony that the American Tobacco Company and Its sub sidiaries practically controlled the tobac co trade of the world. This conlrol, so fer as foreign markets Is concerned, was shown to have been <nf comparatively re cent origin, however, and came about through the formation of a working agreement with s great British corpora- tlort which previous! yhsd controlled the production and consumption not only In Europe, but Asia as well. The American Tobacco Company was formed under the laws of New Jersey In 1904, whrn th* old American Tobacco Company, the con solidated company nnd the continental company were merged under a elngPi head.
