There haa been a wide disenaeion of tbe
alleged agreement ent red into by tbe Free*
ident and certain leading member* of the
Democratic party, tonching the tariff legis
lation of the next Coogrees, and many
poeitire statements have been made of the
position which be is alleged to have chosen.
These things have given tbe Baltimore Snn
grounds for asking an explanation of tbe
President, and tbe following is published
as the result:
"All the people know that the average
rate of Federal taxation upon imports is to-

It mast be, and it doabtleBS is, very grat

weekly press of Georgia is doing for the
Fair. They are ably assisted by the
daily press. That staunch and conservative
old journal, the Augusta Gazette, very ap-
propriately Bays:
Hon. Jeffers m Davis, the leader ot the causa of
tha Confederacy, will be in Hacon next month,

hand of and do honor to the man whom your
fathers loved, your mothers admired and who de
serves from jou every reverence.
Here are a few other extraots from many
clipped for u«* from day to day:

Let every old veteran ln Newton county be there
and take part In the reunion. Gen. Longatreet has
written a letter to the committee having the matter
ln charge that he will be there if possible. It will
be the largest meeting of old Confederate soldiers
that baa ever taken place ln Georgia. Comrades,
let us go down and greet the men we followed
through all the daDgere and hardships of the late
war. It may be our last opportunity to do ao. Let
ua all go.
THE LUMPEIN INDEPENDENT.
The Georgia Htats Fair, to be held in Macon this
year, is expected to be the greateat and blggeat
thing cf the kind in inner lut of fairs held there
during many years ln succession. And the people
of Macon and of the btate will not suffer that ex
pectation to be disappointed. Tboueauda of feet
of apace more than have ever before been in de
mand have already been aeelgned and reserved for
exhibits, which are coming from all over the land,
from places which have never before been repre
sented in any fair. New and important and attrac
tive features have been added which no previous
fair baa ever claimed before.
THE AMEBICUI BF.COBDER.
Over sixty varieties of wood that grow ln Sumter
county have been added to the collection being
made by the American Investment Company for
exhibition at tbe Piedmont and State Fairs There
are n any fine varieties that are still to be added,
and it is safe to assert that tbe entire number will
reach nearly one hundred. This display will be an
Important feature ln the exhibit to be made by the
county.
THE HAWK1NSVILLK NEWS.
All our wiregrass cousins will attend the Etate
Fair, which opens ln Macon on the 24th of October.
THB LEAST COCUIER,
Tha State Fair is assuming such proportions as
to lead one to the impression that it will prove the
ilnc«t ever seen ln Georgia. Macon will entertain
6O.00J visitors on the 2Gtb of October (Veterans’
Day), at which time «x President Jefferson Davie
will review 10,000 ex-Confederatea in procession
with corn-shuck rosettes on their coat lapels and
coon-tall plumes in their hats.
THE ORirriN HUN.
Every Indication points to a most successful Fair
at Macon this year. The stock and agricultural
display will be especially flue, and the Confederate
. . _ _ rill be oue u f the grandest occasions
Georgia. Honorable Jeff Davis will
be there. If his health will permit, and all Oeorgia
will delight to honor him.
THE WARRENTON CUPPER.
Wouldn't It bs a good idea for oar farmers' club
to take steps to prepare some exhibits for the Ma
con Fair? It ia nothing but right that we should
be represf nted there. True, we do not expect to
carry off tbe banner, and might only make the same
exhibit aa many of onr surrounding oountler, but
it would be a poor rtflectlon on old Warren not to
be leprrssnted at all. People who know nothing
might think we had nothing worth exhibit-
'1 he spirit of enterprise shown Is often worth
more than the exhibit. But our faith ln old War
ren Is not so small as to allow us to believe that she
could not make a creditable exhibit if she would
only try, There ars many things which would be
a credit to the county if only properly exhibited,
and we *lncsrely hope our farmers and citizens
generally will take this matter Into earnest consid
eration.
