The World’s Fair Convention will go down to history. And it ought to. That convention brought a most important day in the history of Georgia, and the issue before it was so satisfactorily settled that, surely, it will enter largely into the future welfare of Georgia. The convention after thoroughly investigating the matter in hand,has found that Georgia has the legal right to be represented with an ex hibit paid for by the State, at Chi cago. The opinion of Mr. Andrew J.

The financial collapse in South America has stimulated the immi gration of Italians to the United States, and the tide now flowing into this country is far greater than it has been at any time in the course of the past. The problems which the presence of Italian immigrants in the United States creates are only growing more and more complicated, and in consequence more and more difficult ot solution. i most soecmsfwi Athenians who have ■Dos out to aid In the eptmiWing of the Southern railroad world.
