EXHIBIT

e. LAHTA, Ga., Dec. 7.-The house t~ esentatives of Georgia today passed, by an overwhelming majority, a resolution authorizing a complete exhibit of the re- sources of the state of Georgia at the Cotton States and International exposition, to be held in Atlanta in the fll. of 1885. The exhibit will be collected under the auspices of the state department of agriculture, and will be directed by regular commission appointed for the purpose. The commis- sioner of agriculture and his entire force of assistants throughout the state officially instructed to collect the exhibit, and in addition to the regular appropriation of S10 ,0c0 to their department special appro- priation of ST ,5o0 is made by the bill for the purpose of further assisting in the wo
 Several of the most progressive com panles in the state will also raise special funds for the purpose Of making individual exhibits in the state display, and in all the fund available for an exhibition of ihe state's 8 resources will not be less than s50,- 900. This will be exclusively for the pur- pose of collecting the exhibit, as the build ing in which 1t is 10 be shown Is to be erected by the exposition company al cost of $40, ,000. This building Is to be available not only for the state of Georgia, but for such other states as desire to use it.
 Official acceptance from the Brazilian government has been received, assuring governmental displays from Venezuela, the Argentine Republic; the United States of Colombia, Brazil, Nicaragua and Guate- mala. The Mexican government has asked for all the official publications of the expo- sltion for the purpose of having them translated into Spanish for distribution in Mexico. The three South American com missioners report splendid progress.
 The action of Georgia will be followed by other southern states, Louisiana already having authorized state approprla- tion. Prominent citizens of Tennes- see are now engaged in the move- nent to secure state exhibit from that state, and the marble industries of east Tennessee have combined to build a magnificent marble building. North Caro- lina will probably remove her full state ex- hiDit made at the Worlds fair at Chicago.
 Plans for two additional buildings have been asked for, making in all thirteen buildings, eleven Of which are already in the hands of the contractors, the 18th of awarding of contracts for such buildings as have not already been let.
 The Southern Railway and Steamship as- sociatiou, representing al The leading southern railroads, has by a unanimous vote agreed to bring Tree of charge all ma terial and exhibits for the woman's bnild- ing, which has now grown to be one of the most interesting features of the exposition. The architect of this building is Miss Elise Mercur of Pittsburg, her plan having been accepted in vigorous contest, at which plans were submitted by women from all parts of the United Sat,

When People Grow Old They Require

When people get along in years they always

people need help; every doctor admits this;

that II should be so. I believe that people could
pro!Ong their lives great many years; in fact
Indefinitely, If they would only exercise proper
care and assist Nature just little. This can
only be done by using some semitic stimulant
and there certainly is nothing for this purpose
equal to pure whiskey. 1t is perhaps unfortu-
nate that there are so few pure medicinal
whiskeys on the market; but there is certainly
one, and that is Duffy's Pure Matt. 1t is, in
fact the only recognized medicinal whiskey.
ana y is especially designed for gently aiding
elderly people who MUST have help.
This great medicinal whiskey is sold by all
reputable druggists and grOcers. and IL is
Godsend to those people advanced IN years
who require just the assistance it so hopefully
gives. Great care should be shown, however
to secure only the genuine. Some druggists
and grocers try to sell inferior WHISTLES that
they can make more on, but you should not Re
deceived. There are no other medicinal wills

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. Judge Ache
son of the United States Circuit Court
heard arguments yesterday on the de-
murrer to the bill of complaint of the
Novelist H Rider Haggard and the pub
fishing firm of Longmans, Green &, Co.
of New York against the Waverly Com
pany of New York for an alleged infringe
ment by the latter of the copyright of
Haggard's novel NADIA, the Lily" This
is the first case arising under the new
International copyright law passed in 1890,
and involves the. constitutionality of the
act Joseph A. Arnold of New York,
counsel for the defndant, urged that the
right of the President to declare copy
right treaties with the various foreign
countries under the copyright law was
a delegation of legislative and judicial
power not sanctioned by the constitution.
If this view is sustained by the court, 1t
will render invalid every copyright
granted to foreigners since the new law
went into effect Daniel C. Thompson of
New York appeared for the compliments.

Anarohists We az nlack oravats.
FROM tho Daily Telegraph, London.

Blazing red ties or Gravats were sup
posed to be much favored by red revolu-
tionists. The anarchists, IL appears have
taken new departure and are adopting
the cravate noire. Most of the persons
who were tried recently with Jean Grave
of butterfly shape. At Havre the other
day two men who were tried and con-
demned to transportation for manufact-
uring explosives and publicly indorsing
the assassination of M. Carnot declared
before the court that the rallying sign Of
anarchists in their district was black
riband In the buttOnhole Of the coat. It
is hardly possible, however, that fashion
will decree the abolition Of the black era
vat because anarchists favor the article.
