The money lenders and merchants that
sell on time here are greatly opposed to the
Twtty Law. Some of them threaten to call
In their loans and coniine themselves to Ala
bama customers hereafter. This can be
done with ease and profit, as we are situ-
ated on the line of the two states and have a
large Alabama trade.
Heavy rains have fallen here during the
last five days, and the cotton crop is badly
damaged thereby.
Work on the oil mill and guano factory has
begun and will be in operation by Sept. Is.
Shipments Of LeConte pears have begun,
but if the growers fail to receive any better
returns for them than for the melon crop
they had best feed them to the stock.

LIrHIA CaAUTAUQUA.
Children's Day Full of Interesting
Features.

CnllQren5 Lay Full OA All
Features.
ATLANTA, GA. July S0.-ThiS was a red
letter day at Chautauqua. The very uh-
favorable weather lessened the attendance
but hundreds Of hspPy-faced SUNDAY
school children were on hand. 1t was their
day, and the programme accorded with the
sDirit of the occasion. After song exercise,
addresses were made the children by Prof
w. H. Dana and Prot. Charles Lane. Coi.
r r Peppard, president Of the Monteagle
CbeutauotIa. followed in an object lesson
taIk His text was "A Beautiful Full-Blown
Rose and his talk to the children was
peruliarlv touching and impressive.
Prof Glenn lectured upon Bees and
Ants" The talk was full of information
aud good advice.
Another feature Of the day was Miss Mar
paret Johnston's entertainment. The pro-
gramme included choice selections in vocal
and Instrumental music, and a wonderfully
clever reading by Miss Johnston, Money
Musk" She was encored repeatedly. The
concluding number on the programme was
the march and exercises in Del SOrte. These
were series of emotional posings and tab
leau8 by twenty-four young society ladies.
1t was accompanied by soft music and stage
scenic effects, and the whole programme
was one of exceptional merit.

DEAL OF THE EXCHANGES.

Oswald Wilson Says the Scheme is
Purely q Business One.
ATLANTA, GA, July 30.-Oswald Wilson
of New York, prominently concerned IN the
big alliance exchange deal, is here tonight.
He has little to say about the big specua-
ton. at is purely business matter" said
he. Before any alliancemen can be
affected by it the plan must be submitted to
the stockholders in each state alliance ex-
change. 1t is to extend the opera
lions of the exchange by carrying
1t nearer to the people. Instead of just one
central exchange in Atlanta. there will be
quite number of exchanges in all por-
lions of the state. The consolidation of
the state exchanges will give the benefit Of
purchasing at Wholesale but the whole
matter will be laid before the stockholders
of the state exchange. If they don't ap-
prove of it, that ends it. If they do, all
right. 1t is all plain, practical business
nobody is compelled to go into it."

ATLANTA, Ga, July 30-Dr. D. O.
Lyon Of Macon, the veterinary surgeon

Sycamore and sumner, has submitted his
report. He says there is no
CHAMBERS at GAINESVILLE, but there is
no doubt about there being glauders
at the other two places. Instances of this
sort emphasize the need Of fund to be at
the disposal of the commissioner of egricul-
turs for the investigation and treatment of
CHAMBERS and contagious diseases. The
money is needed to investigate reports of
this kind, and when it is known
to be necessary that stock be killed,
the commissioner armed with the proper
authority could order this done aud reim-
burse the owner. AS the matter stands now,
there is no fund for the purpose. and small
amounts are used, where it seems absolutely
necessary, made mp from savings and scrap
