the Various Commands.
Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 22-The $4,000 ap-
propriated to the military by the legisla-
ture will, in all probability, not be used
for encampment purposes. According to
the agreement Of the conference COM
mittee, the use to which the money is
put was left to the discretion of the
governor. Nothing Official has yet been
determined upon, but the appropriation is
so small that it would not be nearly as
advantageous, it is thought, to use it on
an encampment, as to apportion 1t out
nary expenses, or to use it to supply
uniforms, overcoats and other necessary
equipments, and it is likely that the APP
propriation viii be used IN that way.

MACON WANTS CLEVELAND.
The President Invited to Attend the
Inter-State Fair.

Washington, July 17.-This morning a
special audience was given by President
/ Cleveland 70 a committee of invitation
from the Dixie Interstate Fair of Macon.
The committee from the fair was com
posed Of Washington Dessau and Judge
John L. Hardeman of Macon, and they
were accompanied by Secretary OF the
Interior Hoke Smith, Senator Walsh and
Representatives j. c. G. Black, Rufus E.
Lester and Carter Tate. The President
was invited to attend the fair during the
week beginning Oct. %. 1894. The fair
will be held at Macon under the auspices
of the Georgia State Agricultural Society,
one OF the oldest Of its kind in the union.
The President received the committee
very cordially. He stated that he was
afraid the date Of the fair might inter-
fere with the preparation of his message,
but he would come if he could so arrange
his business.
1t is a fact that the President has re-
ceived several pressing invitations to
visit Georgia, but his public duties have
prevented him from visiting the state for
many years.
Senator Walsh and Representative
Black, joined by the others of the Georgia
delegation in the city, very earnestly
urged the Presto It TO accept the invita-
uion rendered.
The whole party left the white house
very much encouraged by their interview
with the President.
The committee being joined by Repre-
sentative Maddox of Georgia, then called
upon the Vice President, in his room at
the capitol, and rendered him a similar
invitation. The Vice President stated to
the committee that if it were possible for
him TO go to Macon during the fair, he
would be delighted to do so.
Mr. Cleveland gave the committee more
encouragement than he has any other
which has been before him. Congress
would not be in session, he said, and if it
were not impossible he would accept
The President was most cordial, and said
among other things, that he had long
wanted to pay Georgia visit, and he
hoped sincerely that he would reach the
state this year.
Later in the day Secretary Carlisle was
invited, but was unable to give any
definite answer. Chairman Wilson made
very much the same reply, but thought
he would be able TO attend.
julius Caesar Burrows and Ex-Speaker
Reed will be invited by the committee to-
morrow.
Two better men than Messrs Harde-
man and Dessau could not have been sent
from Macon on this mission. They are
courtly and their address is such as to
command attention

FULToN's POLITICAL FIGHT.
The Primary To-day Expected to Be
the Liveliest Held in Years.

Atlanta, Ca, July 1.-THE county pri-
mary tomorrow for the selection of dele
gates TO the congressional convention and
the nomination of candidates for the
legislature and county Offices gives
every indication of being the hottest
election in years. Coils. Livingston and
Gambler will of course make the leading
fight. Both sides are prepared for
a hard days work and both claim
that their candidates will win,
though Col. Livingston appears to have
the advantage, taking an impartial view
of the situation. There are a great many
noncommittals, however, and the silent
vote may cause surprise. Last nights
Joint debate, which was a political ex-
perience that few who witnessed it care
TO see enacted within the Democratic
party again, was followed tonight by
separate meetings.
Col Gambler, with Hon. N ]. Ham
mond and Col Albert II. Cox held forth
at the opera house, while Col Livingston
and his friends spoke and shouted them
selves hoarse at the county court house.
Both meetings were largely attended,
and neither candidate has cause to com
plain of lack of enthusiasm.
Col Livingston is confident of carrying
Fulton county, and boasts that he will
also defeat Col. Gambler in Dekalb, his
own county.
There are six candidates out for the
three legislative seats, Capt. E. p. Howell
of the Constitution, who wants to 20 to
the legislature to help Patrick Walsh to
the Senate again; Hon. T. B. Fielder, Al
derman Arnold Boyles and T. L. Bishop,
three young lawyers; G. T. Brannon, a
wholesale grocer, and D. M. Vining,
superintendent of the city stockade.
There are seven candidates for coroner,
four for two places on the board of county
commissioners, two tickets for tax re-
ceiver and two candidates for county
treasurer The clerk sheriff and tax
collector have no opposition.
