POSTPONED.
The Georgia State Fair Not
to Be Held Soon.
THE ACTION FULLY INDORSED.
Meeting of the Fair Committee and the
Joint Meeting With tlie Hoard of
Trade—Col. Northen’e ArriTal
After the Meeting.
*The Georgia state fair has been in
definitely postponed.
A few days ago Secretary Nisbet notified
the members of the fair committee to at
tend a meeting in Macon yesterday. The
meeting was caHed for the .purpose of
winding up the business of the committee
prior to the opening of the fair and to die
cuss the propriety of postponing the fair
until a later date, that course baring been
suggested to the secretary by physicians
and merchants.
In response to the call came Col. Wad-'
dell of Cedartown, Dr. 'Carey of LaGrange,
Dr. Hope of Hapeville, and Capt. Futnarn
<of Brunswick. These gentlemen with
Mayor Price and Major Hanson discussed
the matter most thoroughly. Later the
committee talked over the matter among
themselves and Secretary Nisbet. In the
afternoon the committee met with the
board of trade at their roc ms.
Following this was a general discussion,
which was indulged in by Secretary Nisbet,
Mayor Price, Col. Waddell and others,dur-
ing which Col. Waddell read the following
HE* Ga., Sept. 22.—The fair com
mittee, after mature deliberation, and alter
a full consultation wilh Mayor Price, Mr
B. C. Smith, president; Mr. George T.
JCershaw, secretary, and the members of
the board of trade; Dr. F. Walker, chair
man of the board of health; and Maj. J.
F. Hanson, Col. H. H. Jones, Maj. A. C.
Knapp, general traffic manager of the
Georgia Southern and Florida railroad,
and many plnminent citizens of the
city of Macon, we have concluded
that the holding of our fair in this
city in the month of October is wholly
unpracticabie. This conclusion is reached
by the excitement produced by the preva-
alence of yellow fever in certain portions
of the south, and the fact that the.condi
tion of the farmers in sections visited by
the recent floods give cause for prudent
action, We therefore declare the state
fair of 1888 indefinitely postponed. J. t).
Waddell, general vice-president; H. H.
Casey, M. D, Samuel Hope, A. T. Putnam,
Jerc Hollis, Kobl. A. Nisbet, secretary.”
On motion of Maj. Haines, the follow
ing resolution WM adopted iinnniinnuidy •
Resolved, That the Board of Trade of
Macon indorse the action of the fair com-
mistec of the Geoigia State Agricultural
Society in declaring the state fair of 1888
indefinitely postponed; that the reasons
for their action exist and that action is
wise and prudent.
Presi. ent Ben C. Smith called the meet
ing to ffrder and stated that the fair com
mittee of the Agricultural Society were
present and wanted an expression of opin
ion from the board of trade as to*the mat
ter of postponement of tiie fair, and re
quested some member of the committee to
make that want known.
Cui. Wauuei! oaiu iliai iiiai tilt* commit
tee was satisfied that the fair could not be
held on the date that hadbeen fixed owing
to the floods which had damaged certain
sections of the state. This and the yellow
fever excitement made it extremely hazar
dous to have so many people toge her, and
the city could not be asked to
raise the quarantine, and without raising
it the Agricultural Society could not hold
the fair. The society had received every
courtesy and much material aid and everv
hppourMpinent from the cit’zcus of Macon,
and thefo/ore could not ask the city to
raise A fl'Mrantine th»J had been estab
lish for ita protection.
The meeting then adjourned.
Col. W. J. Northen, president of the
society, whose presence at the mrcting was
prevented, arrived at 6 o’clock in the jven-
lug, and while regretting that suen a
course was pecSwarV, concurred in the
-Sctiott of the commi.tco. He had. with
his faithful secretary, labored hard, and
the fair would have been a complete suc
cess but for the providential interposition.
The action of the board of trade in the con
currence of the step taken by the com
mittee was unanimous, as there was not a
dissinting voice.
Henri's Faithful Goddess.
Mr. Watterson’s Slar-Eyed Goddess must
have been silting on his right shoulder and
whispering in his ear when he said, at the
Cooper union meeting;
“The present tariff unites ail the bad
features of all the bad tariffs that have
preceded it, because it is a peace tariff on
si war footing.”
During the war we were all taxed, rich
and poor. Wo were glad to be taxed, and
never a grumble or a growl was heard.
When the war ended the rich man’s tax
was removed, but, oddly enough, the poor
man’s remained.
The tax on income*-paid by the person
who had an income—that is, the tax on
wealth, was wiped out.
The tax on railroads, another tax on
wealth, also went by the board.
The tax on bank deposits, another tax
on wealth, disappeared.
Ho the rich, who gave gorgeously to save
the Union, got rid ot their taxes at the
earliest opportunity. That was right.
But the poor man, who never had any
income, never owned any part of a rail
road, never made a bank deposit—be is
taxed to-day tor the tools he works with,
for nails, flies, hammers, saws, every shin-
.gle on his shanty, every pane of glass in
his windows, every foot of wood in his
baby’s crib. And we have a surplus that
we don’t know what to do with. That is
vrioiig.
The question to be settled by the cam-
iign, therefore, is, shall the poor man
ave just as much fa r play as the rich
man in a country in which eight out of
every tea has to work for a living?

■BOUTlirnN WOMEN.
How They Meet and Conquer Their Many
Trials.
Editor Tkrhjbaph: Miss Andrews
letter published in the Telf-oraph con-
oeruuug the srroncous impressions she
found north shout the south, reminded me
of a little book >1 hadjnst nad, .published
by Hubert's Bro. of Boston.
The picture in that book, of what the
author assure.';'us again and again is a
“perfect specimen of a representative
southern family,” would reflect credit on
the imagination of Rider Haggard. Jn it
we see what.isibeiieved north to be the pe
culiar characteristics of southern women—
indolence, extravagance end hatred of' the
north.
In this home the ceiling is frescoed'witb
spit-balls, the lace curtains are in knots,
the colonel’s 'boots are under the piano, a
pan of molasses candy on top of it, a bowl
of broth on the-center table, the sofa was
as comfortable as a coal bin, the wheie
house had the air of an auction shop or an
earthquake. Everything was done that
ought not to be done, nothing was done
that ought to be done. The colored ser
vant nodded in the red satin chairs, the
mistress lounged all day in bed dressed in
a lilac silk waist and a lace shawl, abus
ing the yankee and bemoaning her de
parted glory. The boys of the home, ■“no
ble young scions of a house of chivalry”
for whom no such thing as work was ever
thought of, would spend one day $15 for
hats and halls, and the next go without
dinner and hide in the house for want of
shoes to wear. Their breakfast was the
invsriable southern breakfast of bacon,
hoecake and hominy.
With such mental pabulum as this, is it
surprising that their impressions of the
south are slightly erroneous! There was a
conflict in my mind when I read this bnr-
lesque, between my'sense of tbe ludicrous
and my indignation, until charity came to
the rescue and filled my heart with sorrow
that such ignorance could exist. I remem
bered, too, the wise injunction, “If any
■p.ak ill of thee, flee to thine own heart
and see if it is true.” I fled to my heart
and found it not true. The true women
of the south are not indolent and do not
look with, scorn on those who work. In
proof, allow me to cite you to three homes
in sight of mine, the women of which rep
resent three southern states. One is a
lovely Virginia woman. She never spends
an hour in louaging and lamentation, but
supports her family by teaching, and the
success of her school attests the pride and
delight she takes in her work.
The second is a Georgian, and is a re
markable evidence that Cowper spoke the
truth when he said, “Riches and grandeur
take unto themselves wings and flv away.”
She is the wife of the eon of perhaps the
wealthiest governor Georgia has ever had.
With her the “golden sands of time” are
too precious to waste in deploring the pres
ent or regretting the past. Her hope is an
an echo of the song that Hood sang, and
with willing hand *he plies the needle from
“early dawn to dewy eve,” that the wolf
may not come near her door.
The other is a Loui-ianan, the wife of a
man who is considered first not only at the
north and south, but was so regarded when
he stood before the Czar of all tne Russians.
She personally superintends the manage
ment of an elegant hotel. The general’s
boots are never under the piano, and she
never gives her guests a breakfast of bacon,
hoecakc and hominy.
A lovely northern woman told me not
long ago that she was surprised on coming
south to see so much good housekeeping
and so much energy among southern
women. She said the home the yankeo
spinster found in Uncle Tom’s Cabin rep
resented her idea of southern homes. We
did hope that Uncle Tom, having served
his days and generation^ would rest in
peace, but his spirit i'b still extant at the
north, and his soul, like that of John
Brown's, still marching on.
Our sisters of the north are mistaken
when they think that we of the south con
sider work degrading. Wo know that
work is the magician's wand, the “open
scsamo”Jto all that is noblest and best; we
believe with Mts. Browning when she says
“Get leave to work in the world, ’tia tne
best you get at all.” That day is forever
past at tbe south when it was thought
necessary to have three generations of
elegant leisure to make noble men and
women. We have learned that true worth
of hfart and head is better coin and more
to be desired than “blue blood" and n
grandfather. We know that
"Itere and there a colter's son
It royal bon, by right divine;
Here and there ay lord Is lower.
Than his oxen or bit twine.”
The simile of the oak and tho vine has
lost prestige at the south. Women are not
expected to mergo themselves into their
husbands, to love all individuality, all
identity, to become an echo or a mere ap'
pend age.
There is nothing so dear to the heart of
a woman as independence. She appreci
ates Madame de Steal when sheexclaimed,
“It is not these writings that I am proud,
but that I have five avocations, any one of
which would gain me a livelihood.” She
has learned that she has that genius that
Carlyle described as a “wonderful capacity
for work,” and if she is not honored with
a call to “rock the cradle and rule the
world,” she need not sit with folded hands.
She finds that her sphere is not limited
save by her own cypaeity and indu-try.
Then let her work with heart, hand and
brain, recognising no dictator save God
and her own conscience.
• Southern Woman.
Gainesville, Ga., Sept. 20.
• IHncksnake Whipped by Ulrils.
Borneo in Greensboro Sun.
i had occasion to pass iuiuugk a part u’
Mrs. Jones’ plantation the other day and
becoming very tired I seated myself* on a
stump and while sitting there a black
snake came out ol the grass to my left',and
went in great haste about twenty feet into
a cotton patch and canght a young pat-
ridge. The little bird commenced a pitiful
noise and his snakeship was at once at
tacked by the two parent birds. So vigor
ous were tbe pecks and the flopping of the
wings that the snake was, compelled to
loose the young bird and save himself by
flight. The grass and weeds were so high
that I could not see him after he got into
a cornfield near by but from his maneu
vers after the attack his punishment must
have been very severe for from the time he
was attacked to the time the cornfield was
reached he jumped several times fully as
high as his length. The old birds followed
him about one hundred yards and then
returned to their young.
A Chicken Famine.
From the Jackson Argus.
We are now having a chicken famine.
There is about one chicken in town and
that is a venerable old rooster living on a
pension that he fought, bled and died for
in the war of 1812.
MK. HA It levs WOUND,
lie is Some’Hotter With uCIi&nce for Rt'-
covc.ry— How It Happened*
CuTHUEBt, Sept. 21.—[Special.]—Mr. T.
B. Barry, who was shot by bis brother-io-
law, Mr. T. W. Zuber, is resting eaitly, con
sidering ihe-severity of the wound. The
whole load entered the body of Mr. Barry,
going through the pelvis from the rear and
lodging, with but little scattering, near the
front of the right thigh. The shot and
wad have -not as ye! been removed on
account of the shock and loss of blood sus
tained. Mr.tBarry’s chances for recovery
are much better than they were soon after
receiving the wound, and it is now
believed that he will recover. Mr.
Will Zuber, whose gun did the work,
is sorely afflicted over the accident. He
was in no way .negligent in the handling
of his gun, but .it was an accident. Your
correspondent-received his information of
the snooting, already related, from tbe
negro who came to Uuthbert for the doctor
and upon that sent word to the Tele
graph. Mr. O. A. Barry, an uncle of the
gentleman wounded, makes this report,
autbeuticatcd by both Mr. Barry
and Mr. Zuber, which I gladly correct,
.thereby exonerating Mr. Zuber from
DFATH OF MONROE REID.
One of a Family of Brothers Who Fought
for the Confederacy.
• Justice R. F. Reid of Reid’s Stntioni
Twiggs oounty, came into the city Fri
day afternoon and purchased a casket from
Undertaker Clay for his brother, Mr. Mon
roe Reid, who died in the afternoon at his
farm in the lower edge of Bibb.
William H. Reid, the fatherj was a
cliairmaker by trade and lived in this
countv. Long before the war, with fifty
cents in his pocket, his entire earthly pos
session, lie married a Mite Bridges. The
result of this union was fourteen children,
eight of whom were boys. One boy died
brfore the war. Mr. Retd began life anew
when he married, and by hard work and
the aid of his good wife suoceeded in accu
mulating a handsome property. The war
came on and found six strong and sturdy
young farmers. They responded to the
call for soldiers, and in a short time the
old homestead was left witii only one boy,
Mongpe, who was too young to shoulder
arms and follow his brothers. Alfred was
stationed around Atlanta and was commis
sioned a major of militia by Gov. Brown.
John went off in a company com
manded by the late Col. John B. Gumming
of Macon. Frank went with Capt. S. S.
Dunlap’s cavalry, and Joe, William and
Floyd went off in Capt. Ri.e’s company in
any carelessness or recklessness, as my first
report might have conveyed.

The betting men are usually about the which was a curiosity *to all that saw it,
best posted of any in regard to election
prospects. In fact, the shrewdest of them
usually make a living by keeping well in
formed and preying on the credulity of
gullible paitisan enthusiasts, from the
beginning of tbe campaign these men have
been willing to give odds on Cleveland,
and since the Maine election they are
offering anything from $1 000 to $100,000
on the basis of $1,000 to (600. Even at
these figures they find very few takers, and
thero can be little doubt that in less than
thirty days the prevailing odds will be
$1,00*0 to $500. Even at the latter figures
tho Cleveland betters will have a sbft snap.
It was a wild potato, the main stem of
which was about three feet long and from
three to eight incites thick with several
large offshoots clustered about the head.
It weighed 38J pounds though one large
prong had been broken off. The j-otatoe

it was the largest they had ever seen. Ii
