r. W. Jemison Expelled on Account
of q Note Transaction.

Brunswick, Ca, Feb. 15.-The agri-
cultural society adjourned to-day after an
interesting session devoted to miscella-
neous business and passing resolutions
addressed to the Georgia senator's and
representatives relative to a naval station
for Brunswick, and Col. Goodyear's bar
work.
This morning was spent on st. Simons,
enjoying an oyster roast, as guests of the
city.
Late last night, during a breezy session
of the executive committee, Col Tom
Lyons raised considerable disturbance by
his pronounced stand against passing res
olutions expelling h. w. Jemison. The
resolutions were passed.
Gen. Evans leaves tomorrow for Way
cross.
A member of the agricultural society
whose veracity and integrity is unim-
peachable, said tonight: The action of
the committee in expelling Mr. Jemison
savors of personal feeling. While not
personally friendly to Mr.. Jemison, l
know he is honest, and the action of the
committee should have been avoided Mr.
Jemison was expelled for giving notes for
the rent of building while he was secre-
tary. He expected the rent of the portion
OF the building not occupied by the society
to overpay the notes, but his non-re-elec-
tion as secretary changed the society's
headquarters from Macon to Atlanta. and
the building was left on Mr.. Jemison's s
hands, with the society's notes outstand-
ing for its rent The society has gained
nothing by the committees action in ex-
pelling Mr.. Jemison, and those who know
the facts know his intention was perfectly
honest, and | regret the fight was waged
so hard upon him"
