Dr. Spalding was at the head of the committee. Yesterday he authorised the announcement that Cap tain Tyler would accept the position, he hav ing had a conference with the captain upon this matter. Captain Tyler is one of the best known railroad nu-n of the south.

The exposition is certainly to be congratulated in securing so able a man for this important work. THE GKt.ATF.ST YET. Tobacco Men Promise the flo.t Notable Ex hibit Ever steen at an Expo*. The greatest tobacco exhibit the world has ever seen! That will be one of the many interesting features of the Cotton States and Inter national exposition. And in preparing It the exposition com pany will have the hearty co-operation and the earnest assistance of all the lea-ling tobacco concerns in America—and probably of many in Cuba and other parts of the world as well. It was all settled at a joint meeting of the representatives of the tobacco interests t and the exposition people held a headquar- J lets Thursday. For an hour they w ere m session and the whole situation was gon over thoroughly. Tuere were represented st the meeting all of the large tobacco 1 concerns in th.- country, either In person | or by letter, promising the heartiest co- , operati-m and deep interest in the work, j After the dfaK ussion which was participat.d • in by the tobacco men and by the leading . members of the exposition board, th? to- ■ bacco m-n. on motion of the representa- : live of the great house of I*.

Heretofore tobacco has been side-tracked at all the expositions. Il never has been ' given anything like the distinctive place I which it demands as one of the great in- , duslries of the world. Cotton and corn, ! wheat and sugar, manufactures of all other kinds—everything, in fact, except tobacco, j has been shewn to excellent advantage at ■ several of the expositions if not at all of j th-m; but tobacco seeins to have been hid , out. It is p-s uliarly appropriate that this great i southern industry should have a prominent j place at this great southern exposition, 1 The exposition people realised this and ' pr.-i-ar. 1 the way by calling their meeting j which was li-ll yesterday. The tobacco pe -;-l- shewed their appreciation of the im portance of the mevem-nt by their pres- , er.-e an-l. after a discussion, showed it . still farther by the hearty approval of the ■ plans proposed.

Is decided upon Lorillard & Co. will bear their share of the expense. If the company decides to erect a building and charge each exhibitor for space our people will bear their share; and in either event can be re lied upon to make a splendid exihbit. Un derstand me, we will do this if there is a special tobacco building. Unless there is I don’t think you could get any of the tobacco men to take hold of the matter. We have had too bitter experiences at being side-tracked at other expositions. My own i-lea is that the exposition company should erect a handsome building and charge the exhibitors a fair rate.” “I know these tobacco people, said Dr. Spalding, “and I know* that they’ll do their share and that space will be in demand. I was raised in a tobacco country, and start ed out in a tobacco business. We’ll give them the building and they’ll do the rest.” The Plan Euilorned by itesol u I luiim . Mr. M. C. Carraway, the L-orrilard repre sentative. then introduced the following res olutions, which were seconded by Mr. Hern shein, and unanimously adopted by a stand ing vote of the tobacco, men: ••Resolved, That we, as representatives of the toluicco industry, heartily approve the suggestion of an independent building for this industry at the Cotton States and International exposition, in which exhibit spaces shall be let at a reasonable rate. ••Resolved, furtlier. That we pledge our hearty support to the success of the ex hibition.” “And now I move," said Mr. Howell, “that the exposition directors here express their appreciation of the presence and the interest manifested by these gentlemen, and so far as we are able in an informal way, promise them that we will give them every facility for making this exhibit one of the most notable features of the exposi tion." This was also unanimously adopted by a standing vote, this time of the exposition people. The Hoard of Directors Meet. The regular meeting of the board of di rectors of the exposition company was held in the afternoon and at the meeting ihe stamp of formal approval was put upon the plan discussed and practically settled upon at the morning meeting. On motion of Mr. Howell the following resolutions were, unanimously adopted: “Resolved, that we approve the sugges tion of a separate building in which to ex hibit the varied resources of the tobacco industry in this and other countries. "Resolved further. That the matter be referred to the executive committee with power to make such arrangements as it deems advisable for such a building to contain a display of all the varied features of the tobacco industry.” The recommendation of the executive committee that the by-laws be changed so as h> permit the consolidation of offices, was acted upon. The board then accepted Judge Palmer’s resignation and formally made President Collier “president and director general.” Dr. Price's Baking Powder never deterio rates or loses its strength. Its keeping qualities are unparalleled. FOR THE EXPOSITION. Special PhotograpliM Are to Be Mnde for the Blk Show. Washington, Septemis-r 21.-Special.)—The geological survey today started out a corps of photographers to secure scenes among the southern hills and mountains, and views of the mineral districts of Georgia, North Carolina, Tennes.-ee and Kentucky, preparatory to the display it expects to make at the Cotton States and Internation al exposition. The corps is in charge of J. K. Hillyer, chief of the photographic bu reau. Professor Clarke, wiio will have charge of this portion of the government display, said that the corps was sent out at this time, so that the negatives could be developed before the government build ing was erected. It is proposed to have one end of the building ma’de into a network of these photographic transparencies, and heavy glass plates woul<l have to be ready for framing as the building went up.

Assooiate Justice Walter Clark turned over the college to President Kilgo on behalf of the trustees. The committee of veterans appointed by Governor Carr to go to Sharpsburg and lo cate the positions occupied by North Caro lina troops there during the battle, to day submitted its report. The collector of this revenue district re ports that today there are only sixty reg istered fruit, brandy and grape distillesi-'t in operation, whereas one year ago there were 500. Two twins named Mcla-an, from Harnett county, eighty-six years old. were here to day on a queer mission. This was to buy copper, of which to have their coffins made.

GREAT INTEREST HEING TAKEN IN THE DAIRY MOVEMENT. New Snurc ei of Wealih for Georgia—Presi dent Bedding of the State Association, Talks Encouragingly of the Future. Griffin, Ga., September 22.—(Special.—The movement for the upbuilding of the dairy interest of Georgia is already a great suc cess. From all parts of the state President Redding is receiving letters asking lor in formation ns to the necessary plant for cheese-making and inquiring about the prof its, direct and indirect, to be obtained from the new industry. Present appearances point to a creditable display of the dairy interest in the Cotton States and Internatiomtl exposition ot next year. The national association will most probably meet In Atlanta during the exposi tion, ami it is the purpose of the Georgia association to meet at the same time and place. Within, a few years the butter and cheese trade of Georgia will represent mil lions of dollars. President Redding, in speaking today, said: "The organization of the State Dairymens’ Association has given additional impetus to the progressive development of the-dairy inti tests of Georgia. The association is now thor< uglily organized, and is prepared to give Information to all persons who may be interested in the subject of dairying, wheth er on a large or small scale. “Mr. M. L. Duggan, Linton, Ga., himself a successful dairyman and bre-der of cattie, is the efficient and enthusiastic secretary. As director of the experiment station and president of th association, and with the intelligent co-operation of Mr. H. J. Wing, dairyman of the station. 1 am ready and willing to give much valuable ami needed information in regard to the organization of creameries anil cheese factories. There are s«>veral traveling agents of manufac turers of dairy outiits abroad in the land. These are doing a good work in starting the ball in many localities, but it would be well for parties contemplating the forma tion of co-operative creamery companies to communicate with the station before clos ing contracts.” The Possible Profits. President Redding, in answer to the ques tion as to which gave the greatest protit, butter or cheese-making, replied: “I can but answer this by saying that the prices of ch»“ese and butter are mutual ly regulative. It is easy to change from making butter to making cheese, or from making cheese to making butter. Every cheese factory is prewired to make butter, and the change from one to the other can be made at a day’s notice. So, when the scarcity of cheese causes the cheese market to advance, it will probably pay better to make cheese, and if butter becomes scar -e and its price rises, then it would pay better to make butter. So, you see, they regulate each other. One of the great advantages of cheese-making consists in the fact that when the butter market is dull, cheese call be made for a future market, as it requires from one to three months, or more, to ripen—according to the will of the maker. This would tend to make butter scarce, and its price higher, and so induce the making of more butter. Moreover, cheese may be made right along throughout the warm, summer months. Indeed, in the north and west, very little cheese or butter either is made except in the spring, summer and early fail. In the south we can make cheese all the year around.” The Milk Supply. As to the supply and consumption of milk, the speaker went on 1 “It is usually estimated that ten pounds of milk will make one pound of cure I, full , cream cheese. We find, at the station, | where t e use the milk of Jerseys, chiefly, and their grades, that somewhat less milk is required, suy about nine pounds. By tiie ordinary process of butter making in vogue m litis country about twenty-two pounds of milk are require'! to produce one pound of butter. So you see the same milk that is required to make one pound of butter worth 25 cents —would make about two ami a hall pounds of cheese, worth about 30 cents. But, as already hinted, our great advantage in making cheese li- s in the tact that you do not have to put it on tne market at once, as in the case of butter. If a cheese maker has a ton. or a carload, of cheese that is not ripe, he waits until it is ripe. If the market is still null he puts it in cold storage, where it will keep an indefinite time. t'o-hpern (lon S«iggeNte«l. “My idea,” continued President Redding, “is to encourage farmers to favor co-opera tive or stock creamery companies for the manufacture of butter, pruvi ting, also, the necessary machinery for making cheese. Tliis will afford a steady, everyday market for milk, if a farmer, or a farmer's wite, is milking but three or four cows, yielding, say eight or ten gallons of milk per day. she can send the night, and morning's miik every morning to the creamery. Os course, if the distance be more than two or three miles, it would hardly pay to send so small a quantity. He would want to have enough to al least load a one-li.-rse wagon. It is easy, however, and it is often done, for one man and wagon to collect the milk from several farms, and carry it all at one trip to the creamery or factory.” Other A«lvnuttigeM SiiKK'exteti. "Are there any other advantages in tire dairy industry?” “One of the great advantages of dairy farming is uiat the effect of it is to reno rm bj the quantities of valuable manure that will be available from the cattle. Where butter is tiie sole product an l the skim miik and buttermilk are consumed at home, none of the plant food in lhe soil will be sold off tiie farm. Butter contains nothing that comes from the soil. It has no phosphoric acid, no potash, no lime—nothing but at mospheric gases, condensed into a solid form. It contains only carbon, oxygen and iiyfTrogen, with a trace of nitrogen; and these all come from tiie air an l not the soil. Clicese is rather more exhaustive, in that it contains mineral elements that have come from the soil as well as a large percentage of nitrogen. Another imjiortant feature is tiie ease with which pork can be produced on a dairy farm. The butter milk, tfkim-milk from the creamery, and the whey from the < hatse factory, are all excellent food for pigs, and with a few nubbins of corn and a little green food, a farmer can always have fat pigs and make his own bacon. When a far tier car ries his milk to the creamery, he takes his share of the skim-milk home, or better still, he can separate his milk at home, and carry nothing but the cream to the creamery. If lie sends his milk to a cheese factory lie is entitled to his proportion of tiie whey, which gives him a reiurn load. The Next Meeting. “The time and place of the next meeting of the state Dairymen’s Association will be selected by the executive board. Many cf us thyik it, would be a good idea to meet ne<t year at Atlanta, some linn- dur ing the Cotton i'tates and Internai'onal ex pc.-ition. The exposition board of dir.dors has already lnvit< .1 the National Dairymen's Association to hold its annual meeting at the exposition next year, and the idea is for the state association either to immedi ately precede or follow the national meet ing. 1 trust ti.at the exposition dire. tois will press the invitation ali.adf extended and have the national association meeting as one of the features of the great exposi tion. It would be well, also, for the board of directors to offer especial inducements and facilities towa-ds securing a goo 1 ex hibit <>f dairy cattle, dairy products, etc. Georgia, in my apiniion, is bound to be come a great dairying state in the future. We have the soil ami climate, plenty of good water, the far-famed bermuda, red clover etc., above all this is the home of the Indian corn—the great silage plant— to say nothing of cotton seed meal, now recognized both north and south as a standard dairy food. "The most practical way to encourage the right kind of immigrants is to show the people of the overcrowded states north of us that we have as good, and much cheaper soil, more and better water, both In wells and springs itnd clear mountain streams. an<l a far superior climate. Climate and water are the two factors in the run of the resources of a state, that are God-given —not man-made." Experts connected with the agricultural stations of several states have testified as to the excellent quality of the Georgia cheese submitted to them. Tliey rate it as among the best made, and speak in terms of great expectation of what Georgia may produce. P- J« MORAN. J SARGE PLUNKETT. DAYS WHEN A RACE TRACK WAS AT EVERY CROSS ROADS STORE. The Old-time Wagoners and How They Ueed to Gather at Hamburg Across the River from Augusta. For The Constitution. As for Brown, he has been gloomy ever since the house raising, but I-can’t see why lam so—lt is the rain, 1 suppose, and the east wind. In these gloomy moods an old man soon finds himself traveling along the paths of his early life and it is hard from com paring candidates then with now. Brown has been trying to keep out of these rumi nations by looking at the show pictures which fill the papers, but even these show pictures flashed his memory backward and before he knew it he was talking about old Joe Sweeny, the greatest old-time ne gro minstrel and banjo picker. Before he could convince me that old Joo was the man who Invented the banjo, he was sing ing as he patted his feet: “Old Joe kicking up behind and befo’. Pretty girl kicking up behind old Joe!” No use trying to keep old folks from going back into the past. Brown and I give it up after the morning was nearly gone and sit down by the lire, lit our pipes and went at it right. Brown caught himself pulling the line for a “gee" pull as we talked of the old wagonling days to Hamburg, and 1 could seemingly hear the bells tingling on the “leaders" as they stepped proud down the streets of an old town that is no more. Hamburg was a town just across the river, in South Carolina, from Augusta, and it was there the old-time wagoners used to journey and gather together from two states—Georgia and Carolina. The old town has long since lost its importance, but there are yet a few living who used to market there ami can remcmlMT the old time wagoners who gave the place its pros perity. The young cannot understand what this great wagon trade was to a town nor what an important factor the obr-tinie wag oner was in tiie commerce of the coun try. Hamburg, Charleston, Richmond, these places used to be named together, ami perhaps the price of building a railroad bridge swept Hamburg from the charts of business ami gave to Georgia the proud city of Augusta. Little dl l the old Ham burg people think that a little squeaking engine could divert from them the trade of the old wagoners—of course it was never dreamed that the day would come when these wagoners were not necessary. People were crazy about cotton in those days as they are now. They raised c itton thi n to buy negroes. More negroes, more regroes, and a cutting* and a slashing of the knd to raise cotton for the purpose. This is where Richmond came in—it was the great negro market. Negro “specula tors” were as common at old Hamburg as the horse drovers ar? in Atlanta today The “speculators” hurried the money back to Richmond to replenish their stock just as the horse drovers send their money back to Kentucky for more horses. Richmond survives—on war record, 1 suppose—and even an earthquake could not wipe out Charleston, but old Hamburg is a thing of the past, and all because It took a bridge to make it the terminus of a railroad. With the old wagoners has gone much of the pride in good horse flesh. A good teatn was something to be proud of in old times. Railroads killed the usefulness ot these teams and made the old wagoner a “back number” by laying down tne goods right at our doors. The railroad men have no such feeling for their engines as the old wagoner lad for his team. Shovel in the coal! Bur?, her out! Make the schedule! ‘ll business with the railroader. There was a warm affection between the old wagoner and this horses. After a hard hill the team was rested and the dd wagoner would walk round and pat his horses and stroke them down and talk good to them. They lived together on the road and knew each other as well as people know. Salt, sugar, coffee, bagging was the prin cipal freight with these old wagoners. Sun day clothing was about all tihe Ha le in dry goods. It was never thought of to haul corn, meat, hay. The country was full of corn, full of meat and plenty of “rough ness.” Every settlement had its tanyard, its shoe, wagon and blacksmith shops. Many settlements had their own hatrnak ers, gunsmith, harness anil saddle makers. Fine saddles and English twist guns were sent away for oftener than any other thing. Every young man must havi, a nice saddle and the girls must have side saddles, and how these young people did like their sadtlie nags. There ifi none of this now; 5 cents on the street clr»or a spring u]kui a bicycle and away they go. Hang the hone—he eats—an 1 hang the lorg trailing riding skirts which tiie girls wore in tlicm days—old fogyism, these things. They don't want no trailing skirts on these bicycles, and while the boys have adopted long stockings they tell me that the girls are soon to adopt socks, and I guess it won't be long till they will be having their “sockless” among them. This leads me up to where it should be plain that the horse needs a friend or he is seen to be a thing of the p i st. The fact is the horse is no longer needed. Condi tions have so changed that he, the horse, stands a “back number,” but w ho is there that can lay their hand upon theT heart and say that the country has been benefited or the people made happier? There is but one place left for the horse to till where he receives anything like admiration lor his powers. The race track 15 all that can keep the horse from pass ing away. 1 know there are th se who w< uld throw up their hands at tins, but the race tracks must become as popular and as common us they used to be or the horse is gone. Georgia tanners are just now beginning to throw tneir best energy into dairying. To raise colts off of tne surplus milk would make dairying in Geor gia the more surely a success. What is the use to raise them if there is not some thing done to create a pride in them and make a market for them? in old times ev ery country crossroad store had a level stretch for racers somewhere near. The moral of horse racing is no worse than baseball, prize tights or many other things that could be mentioned, i have retro spected tiie whole way, ami for every old time "game” suppressed there has rose up a worse one in its stead. I don’t know how 1 will feel about this when the east wind quits blowing, but just now, as I ruminate, I can’t see that the country has been benefited or the people made any bet ter by a single “restraining’’ law. When chickens were fought In every back yard on Decatur street in Atlanta, there was no more apparent wickedness on that than now. When the “Big Bonanza,” “Girl of the Period,” and other such places played with open doors along the most public thoroughfares there were good peo ple and bad people, and It is th-; same at this time—there are good people and bad people now. The church is the thing I keep my eye upon as the great standard for good. It is a question with me whether the church, with all the restraints of law that has come upon us, is any stronger, purer, or simpler than in old times. It used to be mighty easy to draw the line—it was the church or the devil. The line is not so definite now- -many bad places are very respectable places. It used to be the beast of the common people that the judiciary of this country was safe, nonorable. just, beyond reproach—though the heavens fait Now it is common to hear 'Of some judge being charged with fraud, with tricks, with infamous methods. This is almost as unfortunate as if the good preachers should become sinful and that we should lose confidence in the goodness and purity of our mothers. After smoking out eight pipes of tobacco apiece, all the time studying, me and Brown give it as our verdict that there Is too much law—too many restraints put upon the P'-ople through the legislature. In old times there were “unwritten” liws touching upon moral questions and these had more weight than all the restraints pit upon the statute bo< ks since the war. The cast wind r.or no other wind could cause me to champion gaming, but in the Interest of the horse rnd hprse raising I would have all restraints taken off of racing so that the people who are entirely without any chance of getting to heaven may come out boldly and save us irom hypocrtcy In the matter. You can’t legislate people Into goodnews nor to heaven. - When I was up in Missouri last year I went upoa a farm where horses are raised in connection with the dairy. Quantities of butter was shipped from this farm and a good profit was realized by feeding the buttermilk to colts. The colts are taken from their mothers at nine days old and at once broke to the halter and learned the trough he Is to be fed from. Ji- w ®® a sight to me to see these colts eat butter milk. Stockmen tell me that (e-orgla crabgrass is the best hay in the world for young colts. With this and buttermilk Georgia dairymen can raise some cf the horses which bring fabulous prices among the sporting men of the world. I’ve studied and studied and studied For something nice to say. But all the waters are muddied And nothing seems good today: Nothing seems good while east w inds blow And clouds so heavy and hang so low. SARGE PLUNKETT. Cause and consequence.

Mrs. Drew Tye Sleets a Terrible Death in a swollen Stream. In the mad current of a swollen stream just at dark last Monday Mrs. Drew Tye met a tragic and awful death. While attempting to drive across a creek in the western part of Atlanta, near Hun down stream the horse and buggy and lhe ter street, the seething waters swept lady and a colored driver were hurled out. Mrs. Tye was swept down to a fearful death. The driver, after a desperate strug gle, succeeded in swimming out. The body of Mrs. Tye was carried on by the water and at an early hour this morning had not been found. Mrs. Tye was the wife of a well-known butcher and had an active ’interest in the business affairs of her husband. During the past week he has been making extensive improvements at his large slaughter house. It was the custom of his wife to ride out in the afternoon and look at the work as it Near the slaughter house is a treacher ous branch. In dry seasons it is scarcely three yards wide and very shallow. The road leading to Whitehall crosses this stream, and, with no fear or thought of danger, Mrs. Tye whipped the horse and ordered tiie driver to make rapidly for home. The buggy top was lifted and the storm curtains up. Blinding sheets of rain were beating in their faces, and that with the curtains, made it impossible to see farther than the horse's head. They ap proached the branch. It had swollen to a river and the rushing water made a mighty noise, but this was almost silenced to the occupants of the buggy by the rain beating on the leather top. The negro was driving very rapidly, and before it could be realized they were in the midst of the stream. The furious cur rent caught up the buggy like a plaything. It was overturned in an instant. The cur rent was deep and strong. The driver was hurled to the bottom. As ho came up he could see Mrs. Tye throwing out her arms desperately a few feet away. He made an effort to reach her, but it was too late. Once more the lady went down beneath the surging stream. She rose again some distance away. The boy could see her frantic ana vain struggles for life. Then she disappeared. It was the last seen of her. The negro, by lucky chance had grabbed a bush w hich hung over, and finally pulled himself up. He was alhiost exhausted, but he ran to a house not far from the place and told the dreadful news.

Montgomery, Ala., September 20.—(Spe cial.)—Wilson Woodley, a negro, was hanged by the sheriff in the jail yard here at noon today. He was the third man executed for the murder of Grant. On the scaffold he sang and prayed. His last words were, “I am innocent.” The victim ot the law showed no nervous ness whatever on the scaffold, but conduct ed himself with the wonderful courage his companions in tiie crime had shown at their execution. Woodley’s daughter sat upon the scaffold aftd but for a groan when the drop was sprung, showed no signs of excitement or a read. Last February, Grant, a well-to-do store keeper of this county, was murdered by Jce, Alex and Wilson Woodley, three broth ers, and Jim Calloway, a cousin, lhe four conspired, enticed the unfortunate into his store after dark and murdered and robbed him. It being known that lhe negroes harbored a grudge against Grant they were arrested. Calloway confessed to the facts. He and Joe Woodley were hanged last July. Governor Jones commuted the sentences of Wilson and Alex and about a month ago sentenced the former to death today and set Alex’s punishment at im prisonment for life, he being a half-witted fellow. , . , .. Ineffectual efforts were made to ge. the negroes when arrested. Governor Jones has shown that the law will be upheld and punishment meted out as deserved. gome want protection.
