Valdosta. Ga., October 30.—1 fa
highly auspicious opening may be
taken as augury for the future, the
Georgia state fair of 1902 is sure to
prove in all respects a brilliant suc
cess. That it would be an artistic
success there has at no time been a
question, for it is held in Valdosta,
With anything like the same attend
ance which greeted (he opening, it is
certain to Lie equally successful from
a tinaucial standpoint. I have seen
many similar exhibitions, but do not
recall one so well rounded and com
plete on its first day. Since 8 o’clock
this morning the sound of a hammer
has not been heard in the ground.
There is none cl' the hustle and con
fusion that so often renders a fair's
opening a thing to be shunned.
By clever business stroke the man
agers of the fair association have se
cured one other thing which is us
ually lacking on opening day—a large
attendance. The Forepaugh circus
sought a day at Valdosta. Local pride
in the big fair made it impossible that
a traveling entertainment should be
allowed to enter into copetition with
the event for which this magnificent
little city of the wiregrass has so
Jong been preparing, so a happy com
promise was arranged. The circus has
pitched its tents in side the race
track at the grounds, an equitable ar
rangement has been made concerning
prices of admission and everybody de
siring to see the circus has gone to
the fair. The dual attraction has
brought out the greatest possible
crowd. „
The day dawned bright and beauti
ful ideal wiregress autumn weather.
Early trains on all the roads brought
excursions from all directions to this
railroad center, and the city is crowd
ed almost to the limit of its capacity.
The circus parade this morning giv
ing, as il did, a carnival touch to the 1
opening day exercises, was of itself of
suiffeient magnet to have drawn hun
dreds of jieople to the city had there
been nothing else, hut there was a
lot. else worth seeing. The crowd,
for one thing. Then, of course, the
exhibition at tne grounds which as
I have said, is beautifuiy rounded and
complete.
The Valdosta state fair grounds lie
about a mile and a half north from
the center of the town, the approach
being through the principal residence
street, lined, as it is, with those beau
tiful homes for Which the city is not
ed. The park is equipped with a
number of targe buildings and boasts
/Of perhaps the best half-mile track in
the southern states. Horsemen claim
that it is the best, and in proof of
their claaim they cite the fact that
on this track the best harness record
south of the Ohio river wis made. On
t''o sides of the grounds art groves of
the statepines for whim this section
of Georgia is noted. Trie park itself
is beautifully level and has been well
eared for—which about tells
whole story so far as fair parks are
concerned, as there is much similarity
between them.
His Mother Dead.
A telegram was received in the city
from Jacksonville yesterday announc
ing the death of Mrs. Mott, mother of
Kenonn Mott, the well known jeweler
of this city, which occurred in that
place yesterday. Mrs. Mott has been
ill far some time, and her death was
not unexpected. Mr. Mott was in
Jacksonville. He has a large circle of
friends in this city who will regret to
hear of the sad bereavement.
No Circus Here.
Brunswickians will hardly have the
pleasure of seeing a circus this year,
unless they see it in some other city.
Several big ccirceuses are now in this
section of the country, but it is under
stood that none of them will visit
this city. Gentry’s dog and pony
show is not even coming.
WILL WARNER HILL APPLY?
Terrell’s Campaign Manager May. Ask
for Commissionership.
Atlanta, October 30.—1 t is general
ly reported at the capital today that
Hon. Warner Hill of Meriwether will
apply to Governor Terrell to be ap
pointed railroad cotmmissioser to suc
ceed Judge Spencer R. Atkinson.
While Mr. Hill has made no definite
announcement of his inteation it is
generally thought that he will apply
When seen about the report today Mr.
Hill said that he was considering the
matter, but had not determined yet
what he would do. Mr. Hill was cam
paign manager for Governor Terrel!
during his fight for the governorship.
Judge Atkinson was one of Governor
Terrell’s strongest supporters, and un
der the circumstances k would be a
hard matter for Governor Tyrrell to
decide whom he should appimt if Mr.
Hill decides fully to apply.
BIG SHAKE UP.
Corruption in the Immigration Ser
vice Moves President to Act.
Washington, October 30. —A severe
shape-up is soon to be made in the
immigration service at Ellis Island,
following a secret investigation that
has been made into the condition of
affairs in the island. Some of the
facts are to be placed before the grand
jury in New York. The department
of justice is understood to be hand
ling the facts for presentation to the
grand jury.
The outlook is that about five in
spectors of immigration and It number
of lesser officials will be dismissed.
The investigation shows, it is claim
ed, that for years a system of pery
thieving and black mail has gone on.
Besides the dismissals, there will be
a shifting of about forty "privilege"
men. Kailroad and steamship com
panies will likewise be held respon
sible in tlie future for their
ees.

Yorkton. Assinihoine, Occtober 30.
—Word has been received by the im
migration officials that in addition to
the 1,300 Doukha'bors wno arrived
here yesterday, 400 more are on the
road and 300 are preparing to desert
their villages and farms. The lead
ers of the fanatics have no practical
nor definite idea as to future action.
They desire, they say, to convert peo
ple and find the “new lite.” One elm
died here. The religion crazed set
tlers look much the worse front' their
abstinence from the uselof meat, their
sparse diet and long tramp. The im
migration officials have noi decided
what to do with the wanderers.
Ottawa, Ontario. October 80.*—Ae
cording to a dispatch received today
from Yorkton by the department of
immigration about 1,800 Doukhehors,
who are religiously demented, had ar
rived there. All were in good condi
tion, there being not five oases of sick
ness among them. An effort will ho
made to get them to return to the
villages where there is plenty of fo. and.
The superintendent of immigration
says he will look after the Doukno
bore and charge the expenses to the
fund which was obtained from .the
sale of their live stock, which had
been turned, loose and seized by the
government.
Winnipeg, Manitoba, October 30.-
Another contingent of Doukhobors
reached Yorkton today. The women
and children were taken in charge
by the government officials and fed.
The men continued on their march
looking for new converts to their re
ligion.
Philadelphia, October 30. Douk
hobors who are said to be creating
disturbances in Manitoba were induc
ed) to leave Russia and settle in Can
ada by Joseph S. Elkinton, a Quaker,
of this city, who was aided by several
influential members of the Society of
Friends. He spent, three months
among the Douknobors and was the
personal representative of the men
who made possible the emigration of
the Ruussian sect.
Mr. Elkinton says he has agents in
each of tne fifty-eight Iloukhobor vil
lages in Canada, but hud not as yet
received information from them of
marching and alleged rioting.
”'i nat two thousand of them are
on tne march, propaganding strange
doctrines,” said Mr. Elkinton, “! can
not believe. I am sure that the whole
matter lias been exaggerated.”
Mr. Elkinton said he had visited fi
ty-four of the fifty-eight villages.
Crime, he asesrted, is practically un
known among the people. Honesty,
morally and truthfulness ho- declared
to lie their chief characteristics.
Edwin Gould Coming.
Edwin Gould’s yacht Niagara 111,
whicn is at Baltimore, bound for this
