A subscriber, says one of our ex

paper. The reader was superstitious.
He wrote to the editor asking
whether it was not a bad omen. The

paper to see what merchants were
not advertising, so that he would
know what door to spin his web

The large production of cotton in
Texas, where the area is yearly being
enlarged, makes it apparent that the
farmers in the southeastern states
must look to other crops for realizing
mouey. Tlie hay crop of the United
States amounts to more value m
money than the cotton crop of the
south. This is one crop that can be
raised with profit, and at lunch les6
cost than cotton.

As usual when our Macon friends
get right down to business, thev are
sure to make a success of tlie Dixie
Interstate Fair. Advices received
from tlie secretary’s office say that
the exhibits in all the departments
and the special uttiactions will be
better than ever known in Georgia.
Tlie attendance of many thousands
of people is the only thing that gives
the managers any concern. Tlie
problem now seems to be to care for
the neop'e and the secretery lias
found i necessary to advertise in
Hie local papers for all persons who
are willing to take visitors during
the fair, to send their names to his
office. It would seem therefore that
while every inducement is being of
fered tocro'ul the city with visitors,
no effort will be soared to make them
comfortable while there. To our!
farmers we would say t.liat if they j
would like to see what theT neigh
bors are doing in tlie way of pro-1
duoing from Georgia soil let. them go
to Macon any time between October
23rd and November 8th and they
will find enough to astonish them in
that line. Many people in onr own
county are sending entries in ihe
several departments and this is as
surance that considerable interest
is being taken in this s-ction in the
comiug Dixie Interstate fair. Besides
field crops, in which ttie premiums
are very liberal, the Georgia farmer
is given a chance to see wliat he can
do in the way of stockraising. The
premium offers in this line are ex
ceedingly liberal. The following
specimens taken at rancotu from the
premium list will show what is being
done in that line.

Populism Conns High.
FLOATS.
Bits of Humor ami Wisdom- Go
ing the Rounds.
Populism comes high in Colorado,
where the rule of Governor Waite
lias had t’.e effect to consume not
less than $300,0011,000 of values in ttie
State. This is the testimony of tlie
Deuver Business Men’s Leazue,
composed of five thousand business
men, partly Republicans,partly Dem
ocrats aud partly recent populists.
Populist rule in Colorado is com
pared by tlie League to a devastat
ing forest fire, which, by destroying
the credit of the State, has caused
values to shrink two-thirds. So
blighting has been this influence
that it is impossible to borrow on a
gold mine one dollar on five dollars’
worth of ore in sight, and men with
money to invest in agriculture or
manufacturing avoid Colorado as
they would a pest house.
The lesson of Colorado is worth
careful study by the voters of other
States with a leaning towards pop
ulism. Upon Colorado lias fallen
the heaviest penalties of Populism,
for the two*fold reason that its
Governor was the craziest crank of
the entire list of Populist Governors,
and that its chief industry, mining
for the precious metals, could not be
carried on without large capital.
Kansas, another of the PopatUt
States, has suffered in cred't only in
a slightly lesser degree, however, and
both States ure lightfiillv regarded
by men with capital to lend or invest
in business as the two States iu all
tlie Union most to be avoided. Pop
ulism has proved the most costly
craze ever entertained by the people
of either, anil it is no wonder that
the business men of Denver are call
ing for the overthrow of Populism
as the only means of restoring pros
perity to Colorado.
If the effects of Populism has been
so baleful as to reduce the credit of
a State, tlie borrowing power of
whose property once ranked next to
New Yord, to a condition of actual
paralysis, what guarantee has Geor
gia or North Carolina or Illinois or
any other State, North, South, East,
or West, of immunity from a like
destruction of credit and prosperity
in the case of Populist success? Pop
ulism is the costliest fad since the
days of secession, and tlie sooDer the
people of every State take the les
sons of Colorado and Kansas to
heart the better for their peace of
mind and pecuniary prosperity.—

Ever since tlie college was estab
lished iu 1880, tlie e.ty council has
contributed $2,000 annually for its
maintahiance out of the tax of one
half of oii*» per cent collected for tlie
ordinary expenses of tlie city govern
ment. Tlie increased demands upon
tlie city for electric lights and water
works will prevent the payment of
this sum to tlie college from the or
dinary tax. Hence a special school
tux will have to be collected for this
purpose.
For some years the levying of a
school tax lias beeu talked about, but
while the city was able to pay it out
of the ordinary tax it was not deem
ed necessary, but now that the city
government can no louger do this,
immediate action by the people is
demanded. It lias beeu suggested
that in submitting tlilts Question to

school absoluiely free fi r every child

the entrance fee. This plan seems
to meet with general favor.

But while tlie farmer is being in

list of special attractions prepared
for tlie Dixie interstate fair is a long
one. We mention the celebrated
Midway Plaisanee which is iu tsell
worth a trip to Macon. At the recent
St.Louis Fair which closed last week
the attendance on the Midway Plai-
sanc9 in one day was 95,000 people.
This gives one some idea of the pop
ularity of this great attraction and
the wonderful hold it has on the peo
ple.
The enterprise shown by the man
agers of Dixie Interstate Fair in se
curing this great attraction is only
in keeping with the entire manage
ment of this whole exposition. But not
content with that, they have secured
at an enormous expense, Pain's cel
ebrated pyrotechnic and spectacular
production known as the “Last days
of Pompeii.” This production will
be given for six nights during the
fair and will afford our people a
last opportunity they will probably
have in some time to see it. In addi
tion to the fall of Pompeii and oth
er brilliant fire works there will be
produced from time to time portraits
in fire of many of the distinguished
personages of the day. Close
