bibit for the Paris Exposition.
The German government has in
course of preparation an exhibit for
the Paris exposition of 1900 which is
expected to surpass anything of the
kind ever attempted by any nation
This statement is made by Consul-Gen-
eral Mason, of Frankfort, Germany, in
a report which reached the state depart
ment the other day.
1T is intended" Mr.. Mason says,
"that the exhibit shall be complete.
harmonious picture of the resources and
industries of Germany, down to the
latest date. Everything is to be co..
lected at home. assorted, adjudged.
classified and its position assigned by
an imperial commission, so that dupii-
Gates and everything trivial and inferior
to the best shall be excluded and tho
whole display presented in. it's most
striking and effective form.
The exhibit promises to be even
greater surprise than was Germany's
at Chicago in 1893, and it will be made
and managed for the express purpose
of showing the merchants OF all civil
lied nations what Germany has to SELL"
Mr.. Mason reports that Germany is
doing everything possible to extend her
commerce, having recently sent COM
missions 30 China and japan and South
America for this purpose. Her trade
with the United States is being fos-
tered as much as possible and he pre-
diets that Germany will continue to
follow this policy in the hope of eventu-
ally being the greatest commercial pow
er OF the world.

POLITICS IN LOWNDES.
w. s. West Likely to Re Nominated
for the state senate.


Valdosta, Ga, July SO,-Politics is begin
ming to warm up here, though there Is no
excitement in connection with the cam
paign. Col. W. S. West announced in a
card yesterday that he would accept the
nomination 10 the state Senate from this
district if it was rendered him. 1t is
known that his friends have urged him to
enter the race for some time and during
this week a petition was sent him from
citizens in every part Of the county ask
ing the use of his name I'm connection with
n the senatorial race. His statement that
he would accept the nomination IL tender
ed him is taken TO mean that he will be
in the race before the convention. Col.
West has served this county in the legis-
lature for six years, and his service has
been very acceptable TO the people. 1t is
believed that he will win the nomination
with little trouble.
There are several candidates for the diff
ferent county offices, though very little in
terest has been aroused. 1t is generally
conceded that all Of the old officers will
be nominated and e,ected.
The mention of Col. WilAinson's name in
connection with the race for Congress from
this district has caused some comment
here though Col. Wilkinson smiled at the
suggestion. ana seems 10 regard il as a
Florida at present and it as hardly prob
able that he will enter politics to any
great extent.
Heavy rains have fallen in this county
yesterday and to-day and grain crops
have been greatly benefited by them. The
cotton crop through here is good but there
is danger of its being injured by rain if
the showers continue.
There has been a cessation Of cattle ship
ments 10 the West through this section
though buyers are still buying all they can
get 1t is said that the next shipments
viii be made to Cuba and some Of the
buyers are expecting to make a good
spec" out Of the business II was stated
here to-day by a cattle man that beeves
sold at $40 head at Santiago a few days
ago. Al anything like this, big profit
would como from shipments there. As
soon as the island is open TO business,
cattle from this section will pour into il
by ship loads and a good flow of money
IS expected to come this way.

SOLDIERS AT ST sIMONs.

Pleased with Its New Camp.

Company of the Third Texas
Pleased with Its New Camp.
Brunswick, Ca, July SO.-Company G,
Third Texas Regiment left the city for
St. simons this morning. The gathering
In of a few of the boys who had gone out
over night to see the town occupied lit
tie time this morning, but they returned
with but little persuasion and the steam
err got away with the soldiers in good
time. On arriving at ST. Simons the com
pany had TO face a driving rain, but they
went to work and soon had tents UP and
prepared to dry their clothes and get
some rest. In the afternoon the clouds
broke the sun came out and the work of
fixing up the camp in good style was
pressed through. Tonight they are rest
ing quietly near the sea waves, in which
many of them took a good dip during the
day.
Maj. Taylor, Capt. Lapowsli and Sur
geon Disney pronounce themselves as
thoroughly pleased with the camp and
think it Is a healthful locality. Surgeon
Disney says it is the best place they have
yet struck camp and he is satisfied the
men will be healthy there.
In regard to the sickness at Key West.
Fla, Surgeon Disney says there need be
no fear. The sickness there is not of a con-
tagious type and these men have not been
exposed to any danger of that kind
While at present in the army service,
Surgeon Disney is well known In this Sec
ton. He was for many years in the ma
rine hospital corps, and during the years
around 1898 was stationed at Sapelo Island.
Considerable interest attaches to the ar
rival of the troops from Wilmington. There
are 400 known TO be coming. The South
ern win haul them Via Atlanta. 1t is not
known just when they will arrive, but 1t
will he within the next day or two. This
will give ST. Simon over SEQ troops in all.
They are occupying the old camp grounds
OF the Fourth and Fifth Georgia regiments
near the light house, and it is large enough
for them all.
