ton last evening. With il is Judge
Henry Brannon, one OF the Democratic
candidates for Supreme Judge. The
INTELLlGENcER is in receipt OF protest
from Judge Bnnnon's district, which
opens with this statement:
Judge Henry Brannon abandoned
the Nicholas County Court to attend the
State Convention and the Braxton and
Webster County Courts to attend the
Congressional Convention. Other judges
have resigned, but his greed commands
justice to stand still"
When the Republican judicial conven-
ton met at Grafton Saturday Mr.. J. W.
Mason, Republican candidate for Su-
preme Judge, was in town ut his
office las usual, but did not partici-
pate in the convention. In reply

The poultry department, with its dog
and cat annex, will be a good attraction
from the start to the finish. The arr.
walls of cats and dogs yesterday were
numerous enough to make that part OF
the show feature, and the display OF
feathered exhibits is quite up to the
high expectations OF those having this
department in charge.
The exhibit made OF farm and garden
products, bread, preserves, vegetables,
pickles, cakes, growing ornamental
plants and the other things that belong
in floral and horticultural halls is ahead
OF anything ever before known in the
history OF the Association. Floral hall
is veritable bower of beauty, and the
good things in the horticultural depart
meat fairly make ones mouth water.
The main Exposition hall, with its
ever beautiful fountain and aquarium, is
bright with the color of the various dis
plays made by enterprising firms and
individuals. The eighth department,
which, as usual, occupies the west wing
OF this building, is the same bewilder-
ing collection OF dainty embroideries
and other articles from the women's
clever fingers. There are quilts, spreads,
tides, cushions, infants robes, paint.
ings, and hundred Of other articles that
please the eye. The arrangement for
them is better this year than
it has heretofore been, being more salts
factory both to exhibitors and sight
seen. As matter OF course this wing
and the horticultural department are the
most frequented by the ladies. They
can be looked for there at all times.

is still scarcely able to protect the entire
city. THE concussion'' theory Of kill

days. Five new cases of fever are re-
ported. Nineteen patients are still under
treatment.
From St. Augustine news is very
meagre, but it Is known that ], 800 peo-
pie have lett there within the last three
days and others are leaving as fast as
they can get away. The judges Of the

Walter to remove to Tallahassee the
