Falso Representations to q Com
mercial Agency.

The eighty-third volume of New York Re-
ports, just published, contains n decision by the
Court of Appeals of much practical interest and
Importance to the mercantile community. It
appeared that the plaintiffs had sold goods on
credit to firm OH the report Of its financial
standing obtained from q commercial agency.
This report, which was based on information
given to the agency by the defendant, q member
OF the firm, was found to be false. Thcrcupon
IN action for deceit was begun against tho do
fcndant. The latter claimcd that ho was not
liable, because tho Representations az TO the
standing of his firm had not been made directly
to the selling house. The Court of Appeals
holds That this is no defence nnd that On action
can be maintained against person making
false representations to u commercial agency by
any subscriber TO the agency who has been
thereby deceived. '.if II person." snys the
opinion, furnishes to such IN agency wilful,y
false statement of his circumstances or pecu-
mary ability with intent to obtain standing
and credit to which he knows lie Is not Justly
entitled, and thus to 4. fraud whoever NAV
resort to the agency, and, in reliance upon the
false information there lodged, extend q credit
to him, there is no reason why his liability to
any party defraudcd by those means should not
be the samc as If he had made the false rcpre
sentaion directly to the party injured

Death Of Mr.. G. Jones.

The death Of Mr.. Christopher Jones, which
occurred at his residence at Tomassee, on the
morning of November lst, 1881, from infiamma-
tion Of the bowels, is o source Of deep regret to
his many friends and acquaintances. He had
been Ill but short time and his death was un-
expected. His loss is regarded as q public
calamity at this time as he was one Of those
active, progressive public spirited men, whose
presence and influence were ever ready and
ever felt in whatever concerned or promoted the
moral, educational and material progress Of the
county. lilo possessed large means for this
country and his hand was ever ready to devote
liberal portion to every public enterprise and
his voice and influence were freely given to the
same end.
Mr.. Jones was an energetic worker in raising
means and stimulating our people to send O full
exhibit OF the varied products and resources of
our county to tho Atlanta Exposition, of which
no was one of the Vice. Presidents from this
State, believing such course would direct labor
and capital to this section. He kept up q CON
slant correspondence with manufacturers in tho
North and in England, and was looking to have
large delegation Of capitalists visit our county
during the exposition.
"nH' oones WAS quiet anu unobtrusiye as O
citizen, neither meddling with politics nor
seeking political preferment, but voting and
quietly using his influence ut all times for the
election Of competent men to Office and for IN
honest and economical administration of tho
government. Few men can be found who filed
in higher degree the true measure of q worthy
citizen than MIR. Jones IIo Las gone, but his
example In public spirit and lberality in all
enterprises Of public character are we'll
worthy OF remembrance and imitation.
Mr.. Jones was native Of Abbeville county
and "a graduate Of tho South Carolina College
in the palmy days of that institution. After his
graduation he went to Mexico, where he spent
number of years. and by industry and busi-
ness qualities amassed large fortune. During
the war ho returned to this country and pur-
chased from Mr.. Elam Sharpe tho Tomaseco
plantation, then and now ono of the largest, most
fertile and valuable plantations in the county.
Soon after this he married daughter of Mr.. A.
Is. Grant, Of Cheohee, and settled on his farm.
He has continued 10 reside there until his death.
devoting himself to farming and public improve
ments.
MIR. Jones vas not only we'll educated, but he
had travelled extensively and had gathered from
observation and experience valuable informa-
tion on oil subjects. IIo was between fifty and
sixty years Of age and leaves wife and several
children to mourn his loss.

From the Constitution, October 28.l
Yesterday the Willinautio Company did
some work against timoNi iu which tho old
father was vanquished. Ono Of the features
of tho days doings was to 10 tho making Of
the two suits of clothes from tho seed cotton.
Bright and early humber of people went
out to tue fhir grounds to SEQ Me process. A
little after sunrse a fow indiyiduals on hand
for the occasion stepped into ono of tho
patches OH the ground. and almost in a
twinkling the cotton was picked and ginned. i.
AT twenty minutes to seven tstarted on its
way. Entering first tho KitsonN picker at 7
O'Clock it went to tho Foss & Pesoy cards.:
thcncb to tho railway head, built by tho Lows
ell Machine Company. Then it rapidl y
found it's way to tho speeder built by tho
City Machine Company, of Providence.
From thero 1t went to the Fails B. Jonss
frame, and was coon what tho observer
was ready to pronounce thread. This
was taken to Crompton loom and
tho process of weaving commenced. Tho
crowd that had watched tho course of tic
cotton as it passed from stage to stage grew
until tho aisles wcro blocked up. Everybody
wanted to see the work going on. As
soon rs tho cloth emerged from the loom it

How to See It.

As$ There have been numberless exaggorations
eS}to tho cost of coming to Atlanta and see
pShg tho Exposition. 1t can oil be seon and
enjoyed for very little money. Those who
come should not stay less than three days,
and, If possible, should put in full week.
1t will take one day simply to glimpse tho
grounds and the vast oxtent Of buildings
with their full, rich displays. Two moro
days will be needed to properly observe and
study the Exposition 80 as to understand it's
true extent and moaning. Of course it is
better to come and sec this great chow even
tor ono day than not to see it at all, but it is
best to remain at least three days. A line
around all the buildings on tho grounds
would be over eleven miles, and of course
the various walks through them would exu
tend tho distance much further. There are
six miles of wafer pipes alone, besides the
miles and miles of steam pipes and sewer.
nge. Thoro arc nearly 1000 separate dis.
plays. If each exhibit were inspected but
for ono minute it would take about thirty
five hours to see the ontire show, not allowing
for the time necessary in passing from one to
the other. Those figures give some idea Of
the extent of the show, but they arc put
very low, for there are few exhibits which
would not need moro than minute while
many of them require half an hour to un-
derstand in any degree of accuracy.
AS to IT, cost Of staying in Atlanta now
the cxage .ions have been strikingly gross.
Excellent board and lodging can be had for
80 day and oven lower than that. BY the
week good accommodations are procurablo at
fifty places for $40. Rates are not one cont
higher than the advance in provisions and
labor has made necessary. There is no
cffort to squeeze the crowds. A person can
visit tho Exposition and remain in Atlanta
week for fifteen dollars very easily, so far
as necessary expenses 60. A good throo day
visit can be enjoyed for $40. These state
ments arc in striking contrast to tho wholea
sale misrepresentatio circulated in tho
State, but they are strictly true and can be
proven by any ono who will mako the expe
riment. t.-4-Atlanta Constitution.
