The Augusta exposition is happy
thought in the interest of hundreds of
exhibitors and thousands Of people who
cannot afford to get to the Worlds Fair
at Chicago.
Tho Augusta directory saw this op.
portunity to advertise not only Augusta,
but the south. and quickly resolved to
turn it to profitable account. They
further did q good thing in securing the
cooperation Of President Waddsll and
his executive committee OF the State 30
ciety. This guarantees several county
exhibits. There can be no finer eIem-
pli6cation of county's possibilities
than first-class county exhibit. Than
such exhibit, there ID no surer way Of
getting ones county fully and favora-
bly, in the eyes OF the public.
The directory have voted 100000 for
premiums and prizes. This, coupled
with $50, 600 in attractions, will present
20 the public an exposition second only
In importance to the Columbian at Chi
oago.
President Waddell 10 exsrting hin
self In behalf of county and individual
exhibits. Ths indications are that the
contest will exceed in interest any ever
had in this country.
In live stock, subject In which all
ouf people feel ths deepest interest. the
exhibit promises to surpass all efforts in
that line in the past.
Your correspondent cannot tell 1t in
the amplifying language Of the verbose
man who writes tho advertisements of
the boards OK the circus and hippo
dfoms. ! venture to say that Mr..
Sandy Cohen, who has wonderful rec
ord Is . systematic and tireless worker,
has exclusive charge of this interesting
branch Of Augusta's grand exposition.
Haying said this, IL would Seem unnec.
essay TO repeat for tho amusement of
your readers, the would-bs language of
the advertiser first named: "The d.
rectory has determined that nothing
can be too grand or, gorgeous, in the
line Of attractions, for this exposition.
So great will they be, 50 startling and
novel, so thrilling and so full Of en-
blazonry, that from hundreds and hun
dreds Of miles round the people. will
pour into Augusta-coming in great
companies 20 see the exposition"
In other words, Buffalo Bill, the
drawing card OF the Worlds Fair, Is
being sought after and may be here.
Tho directory contemplate securing
,.the mammoth, magnificent, stupen-
dous, spectacular production" which
celebrates tho transoendent event of
1499. More anon. QUIDNUNc.

The indians object 10 the allotment
OF lands In several,y, prefering rather
to preserve their tribal relations and
receive their share in one big
tract. This Is what Agent Smith will
endeavor to do. The land to be selected
comprises 81 acres for each Of about
900 persons. The track will be taken
from the Hangman creek VALLEY in the
Cnur d'Aleue reservation In Idaho.
Some Of the Indians have accepted al

The government will build homes for
all OF them who accept the conditions OF
the proposed removal.

WASHINGTON, Aug. lG.-The financial
discussion in the house took on deeper
interest today than on any occasion
since the opening day of the silver de-
bate. William J. Bryan, the eloquent
young congressman from Nebraska,
added greater laureis TO his reputation
as an orator and made free coinage
speech which gave his name 10 fame
two years ago. For nearly three hours
Bryan held the interested attention OF
the house and galleries, and every in
terruption to which he was subjected
only gave opportunities for those bril-
liant bits of repartee for which he is so
famous.
The silver discussion was opened to-
day BY Mr.. Mccall of Massachusetts,
who made an elaborate speech for re-
peal Of the silver purchasing clause of
the Sherman law and denied that such
action could be justly construed as an
attack on blmet aliism. Mr.. Combs,
speaking for the repeal, highly recon
mended the presidents message, which,
in his opinion, has never been surpassed
by any state paper
Al the conclusion OF Mr.. Bryan's
speech there were loud cries of Vote. :"
and the Nebraska orator was surround
ed by his colleagues congratulatins him
upon his great effort.
Mir Henderson Of Iowa said the most
gratifying thing that could reach the
people Of the United States were those
cries Of Vote" Vote" The people
expected early action. He would be
glad to come to a vote al once.
Mr.. Moses Of Georgia spoke against
repeal OF the bill aud opposed the prop

WASHINGTON, Aug. li.-Comptroller
Eckels thinks the currency situation
would be considerably improved this
week by money sinking to its normal
value. The premium paid for the use
OF money Is dragging money from its
hiding places, and during the coming
week more currency will be issued on
bonds deposited by banks than within
the same period of time for many years,
Currency was increased by this method
during July $500 ,O0o, and more than
this amount has been issued already in
August. When to this sec, NOO, 600 In
gold ordered from abroad are added
there are certainly strong grounds to
hope for relief.

GRAIN PILED HIGH.

farMers Send Their Crop to san Fran
cisco to Obtain Advances.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. ls.-Wheat and
barley are arriving freely on all of the
coast steamers, and the capacity of the
seawaif sheds 10 being taxed to hold the
grain until 1t is loaded on the deep
water ships that will take the cereals
to Europe. Every year 1t becomes more
apparent that the harbor commission
ers will have to set aside additional
dock space and extend the grain sheds
over section A to the north beach sea
wall.
Thousands upon thousands of tons of
grain are piled high on the seawall
The grain In some instances is piled ten
and twelve feet high. The seawall shed
10 e0Oo feet long. 1t is well filled with
sacks of wheat and barley, and truck
ways are few and far between.
Where the grain is placed in small
lots on the open docks it requires an
extra number Of watchmen TO look after
the sacks and see that no one steals
any Of them.
One of the principal reasons why
farmers desire to get their wheat and
barley to this city is that they are then
able to secure money from the banks
on their products. Where banks have
refused TO make loans 20 farmers to en-
able them to harvest their crops, little
difticul,y has been experienced in secur'
ing advances when the grain reached
this city.

In Virginia.

DAxvILLE, Va, Aug. l6.-An accident
occurred At the county line trestle Just
east OF Milton early this morning BY
which two passenger coaches and a
sleeper were precipitated into the creek
below, a distance Of sixty feet, killing
seven persons outright and wounding =
number of others.
The train bound for Portsmouth left
here at lI:l5 this morning. After
passing through Milton and going
over the trestle, Engineer Tunstal,
who says he was running at the rate
of ten miles per hour, felt the bridge
giving away. He threw open the throt-
tie and the engine, tender and boxcar,
got safely over, but the passenger car
was too late and the span went down
under the weight, and the second pas
senger coach and sleeping car followed.
The cars we're shiveTed into kindling

sengers was a miracle. The water in
the creek had risen to depth OF twelve
or more feet, and il is the general be-
lief that the rise had undermined the
foundation under the piers, causing the
trestle to settle.
On the train at the time were about
sixteen persons, including the train
hands, but only one Of the latter, Con,
ductor II. Morris of Portsmouth, was
killed, some Of the others receiving ser.
ious injuries.
