A convention of delegates from
the several districts and counties
of Georgia will be held in Atlanta
next Wednesday, May 6th.

delegates:
State of Georgia, Executive
Depaptment, Atlanta, Ga.,
March 13.189L—To the people of
Georgia: The Columbian exposi
tion, to be held at Chicago in 1893,
will furnish an opportnnity-to ad
vertise to the world the resources
of our state. It seems now gener-
ally'agreed, by the press and the
people, that such advertisement
should be made by a display of
our products, minerals and" woods,
accompanied by circulars descrip
tive of water powers, climate and
the industrial and educational
prospects of onr people.
Other states, almost without ex
ception, are making large appro
priations from their state fnnds to
avail themselves of this splendid
opportunity. In the opinion of
many legal gentlemen, the const!
tution. of our state will not allow
the use of the state’s money for
this purpose. If this be true, and
something is.not done looking to
an exhibit by private subscription
and individual effort, Georgia will
be put at great disadvantage in
this competitive display, and lose
tbe place she has worthily won as
the leader of progress and develop
ment at the South.
With a view to some concert of
action, 1 have been repeatedly
urged to call a convention of the
people of the state to consider the
possibility of ap exhibit for the
world’s fair, and to devise means
and plans for securing it, if it
should be desired.
I, therefore, respectfully request
a convention of the representative
interests of the state, to consist of
the following delegates: The con
gressional district vice. presidents
of the State Agricultural Society;
the congressional district lecturers
of the state alliance; the president,
vice president and secretary of the
state fair; the presidents, vice pres
idents and secretaries of all the ex
positions held'in the state; the
presidents, vice presidents and sec
retaries of .all the county fairs held
in the state; the mayors of all the
incorporated towns and cities of
the state; and the general man
agers of all the'railroads doing
business in the state, together with
the commissioners already ap
pointed to represent the state at
Chicago during the exposition.
The gentlemen Darned will be au
thorized to appoint their alter
nates, in the event it is impossible'
for them to attend the convention
in person.
In order that the convention
may act advisedly in the matters
before it, I will invite Hon. John
L. Hopkins, of Atlanta, and Hon.
Andrew Cobb, of Athens, to deliver
matured opinions upop the author
ity given the general assembly, by
the constitution, to make appro
priations.
This convention will meet in the
hall of the house of representa
tives, at 9 o’clock, on the morning
of the 6th of May.

A gehtleman or large “eorporos-
ity” and of large means, engaged
me in agreeable conversation the
other day. He complained that
bis indebtedness is very nncom--
fortably large. Understanding his
good Bature, as well os his trading
habits, I told him that he didn’t
have good sense any how, on the
subject of borrowing. 1 suggested
that he could sell enough property
to pay his debts, and there would
be sufficient income from the rest
to make him feel like a gentleman.
He replied that not much would be
left —
Now here is what strikes me.
He prefers very large possessions
with, very large indebtedness, to
an ample fortune Unencumbered,
He pays taxes, insurance and in
terest unnecessarily and unwisely,
because he would feel poorer if any
part of his property should be
sold. Would he not be richer?

Local legislation should be rel

Republican leaders give evi
dence constantly that they do not
'desire th j tariff question to be any
part of the next platform of the re?

democratic campaign,
of Memorial
Southern states, was unusually
elaborate nud earnest. Among the
most notable orators were Gen,
Wade Hampton, of South Caroli
na, at Augusta, and Gen. 1>.
Gordon,, at LaGrange.
Among notable printers in poli
tics the New York World names
Governor Hogg, of Texas; Govern
or Peck, of Wisconsin; John H.
Oberly, of Illinois, ex-civil service
commissioner; the late Daniel

Great destruction to people and

It is undoubtedly true that,when
the farmers begin to consider the
crying necessity for better and
more permanent public roads, they
also take into consideration the
cost which is. to come out of their
pockets in the shape of taxation.
A superficial view of the subject
translates this taxation into a hard
ship which is not easily borne, for
ihe reason that it is" palpable and
direct. This is the yiew taken by
nine ont of ten men.
And yet the worst, and the most
oppressive (because the most con
tinuous) taxation which the farm
ers of Georgia and the south have
to endure is that imposed on them
by bad roads. This is not a mere
theory of newspaper editors. The
fact has been demonstrated by
some of the more practical farmers
themselves. It may be'said that
the tax imposed by bad roads is an
indirect one; in other words, that,
while the farmers pay the tax, they
do not know why they pay it.—At
lanta Constitution.
The indirect tax of bad roads is
borne almost exclusively by the,
farmers, while a direct tax to make
good roads would be borne equally
by all the people.
An Early jlorning Marriage...
• '
The marriage of ;two young
Houstonians, well-kncwn in their
respective sections of the county,
is related by the Fort Valley En
terprise as follows: '
‘Mr. W. N. Boier and Miss Les-
sie Bush presented themselves at
Hymen’s altar about 3 o’clock, a.
m., Thursday, 16th inst, to share
the joys aDd ills of wedded lite. It
was an unusual hour,. but every
thing can’t happen at the usual
hour. These parties were forced
to transact this important business
while the “husbandman slept, ’and
while all of the household who cast
a forbidding glance upon the ef
forts of these two loving'hearts to
hecome as one, also slept, A ride
in the afternoon was planned, and
other arrangements planned, also,
but the "bride’s father put in an
appearance. Acquiescence in the
parental wish lulled the old gen
tlemau into a peaceful, unsuspect
ing repose, nnd when the house
hold was quiet as a sepulchre, in
terested lviends, and some rela
tives friendly to the consummation,
assisted-the brave young lady
through a window at 12 o’clock,
and by 3 a. m. a'parson was arous
ed aud two hearts were made hap
py. Wat ought to honor this de
votion, and cherish Ibis love
through good and evil, and never
let uukindness or neglect bring:a
shadow across the path of the wo-
mau who has given into his hands
her heart, her hopes and her life.”
The same paper contained the
following notice, also:
“.Mu Vernon Fuilwoodand Miss
Mattie Hammock were married
last 'Sunday at the residence of the
bride’s father, Mr. Tim Hammock,
-Parson Foster officiating.
“We wish for these two couples
just entered the wedded, estate,
happiness and success.’ -

The Florida legislature has not

bribery against Call have been
preferred, an investigation is pend

with the protracted dead-lock. The
absurd two-thirds rule is the cause
of the trouble, and should be abol
ished. A decided majority are for
