Laws of Trotting Horse Assoc
citation.

One of the changes made in the by
laws of the American Association al
the recent congress was in section "a,
page 26. This section now reads as
follows: "All persons and horses that
have heretofore been or may hereafter
be ruled off for fraud by the Ameri-
can Turf Congress, or expelled for
fraud BY the National Trotting Asso
citation or by any established trotting
association of any foreign country
outside Of North America, shall here
after likewise stand disqualified from
competing on the courses of members
Of this ASSOCIATION. Provided that
the Board of Appeals may at any
time for good cause shown remove or
modify the same, and pending sueh
action the president may do so tempo
rarily," etc. The object Of this
amendment is to give the American
Association jurisdiction to expel or
suspend people who have been con.
vicEed of fraud by associations outside
this country. 1t is very important
that such an amendment should have
been made, so that the gentlemen who
have been doing rascality work abroad
can be prevented from repeating their
sharp practices at home.-- Kentucky

SOUND MONEY CONVENTION
Great Gathering of the Friends
OF Sound Currency The
Platform in Full.

The convention in favor of sound
money and better banking facilities,
which was held in Memphis Thursday
OF last week, was notable gathering.
The attendance was large and was com
posed Of prominent men from the farm
and counting-house. By the time the
hour for the speaking arrived the au-
dFtnrium with its immense seating ca
pacity was we'll filed. Mr.. w. J..
Crawford, chairman Of the committee
of arrangements, called the conven-
ton to order at two O'clock. The work
of organizing was promptly put
through Gen I. G. Catchings, of
Mississippi, was unanimously elected
permanent chairman Of the conven-
ton and Mr.. g. q. Matthews secretary.
A committee on resolutions was then
selected, one for each State repre-
-4ssrrrsssl al s.l1Ie4. conzention. The con-
vention, after the organization was
completed, was addressed by Secretary
John g. Carlisle.
The Secretary received a perfect
ovation and his speech was addressed
to the reason of his audience, and was
the effort of statesman and not of a
politician.
At the conclusion of the speech there
were loud calls for Col. Patterson, but
he declined to speak. 1t was then
moved and carried that the conven-
ton adjourn until eight o'clock. When
the convention re asssmbled the com
mittee on resolutions was not ready
to report and the following resolution
was offered:
Resolved, That in order to promul-
gate fully and freely the principles of
sound money SO ably set forth by Hon.
John G. Carlisle in his speech before
the convention this day, we hereby
recommend that the local committee
arrange for printing same in pamphlet
form.
Resolved further, That we pledge
the various organizations we represent
to contribute toward the expense of
above, in proportion to the number of
copies desired by each for free con-
tribution.

Wonder what those har-trigger indivi-

designated, Secretary Herbert has ordered

possibility that the Secretary may go him

charge that those Investigations are keep
ing up the price of beef. Secretary Nor
ton smiles at the charge, which he correct
" charactoriZes as nonsense, and asks
pertinently: why should asking plain
questions in order to get at the truth,
agitate anybody or affect the beef market:'
That why will doubtless be echoed by the
beef consumers who have been compelled
to pay tribute to the grecdincSS of the
men who compose the beef trust.

LARGE CROPS.

The Savannah News makes the prcdic-
ton that the fruit and vegetable crops of
Georgia and Florida will be enormous
The indications are that the peach crop in
the vicinity of Fort Valley, Ga, will yield
at least 80, 900 bushels, and all the peach
orchards of the State are not in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Fort Valley. The
peach crop promises to be unprecedented
in abundance. The trees all through
South Georgia and Northern Florida are
loaded with fruit. The outlook for mel
ons is rather startling for those no hope
for good prices A dispatch in the News
states that Florida will send to market
5000 carloads And the Georgia crop will
be almost, if not quite, as large. The veg
etables are already moving from Florida
and the crop is greater than in any pre-
vious year. The prospect for vegetables
in the section adjacent to Savannah is
very promising.
