Triton, GA, Aug. lily yesterday
was the most eventful day in Tifton's
history, being the grand gala day and
celebration in honor of the mpletion
of the first fifteen miles of the Triton,
Qhomasville and Gulf Railway, the ne W
route to Thomasville. Seven special
trains were run by the railroads enter
ing Triton lone from Waycross, one
from brownsville, via Albany, one
from Moultrie, one from Fitzgerald and
Ocilla, one from Macon, one from Val
dosta and free excursion from the end
of the Triton, Townsville and Gulf

with the crowd from the country, mad 3
Tifton's guests number 1000.
To feed these, 2,54l pounds of beef,
Is sheep, 20 nogs and PAT chickens
were barbocued. To this was added
1000 loaves OF bread, 80 gallons of
pickles, ten boxes of lemons, fifteen
boxes of crackers, a barrel of sugar,
etc.
Gov. Gambler and Attorney Genel al
Terrell had accepted invitations to at
tend, but, greatly to the disappointment
of the large crowd, we're forced to cancel
the engagement on account of the death
of Ex-Governor Atkinson.
Congressman james NJ. Griggs was
present, however, and gave one of the
best speeches of his life. It was strong
on the line of southern development,
concluding in a mastery anti-expansion
argument. The speech was made from
the judges staud at the fair ground race
track, and was roundlY applauded.
Immediately after the speaking the
crowd was called to the two large fair
buildings for dinner. In these buildings
tables had been built until there was
only passage room between, and these
tables were spread with barbecue, bread
and ct ceteras until they creaked beneath
its weight. Notwithstanding the large
crowd, there was plenty and to spare for
all.
In the afternoon there was spaIing
contest by colored amateur champions
from Triton and Albany, the Albany
champion being knocked out in the
second round. Bicycle races completed
the days amusements.

The next shower, predicted by Professor
Newton, of New Haven, confirmed this
view, and the behavior of the swarm led
to the belief that it was the remains of a
comet, the behavior Of Biela's comet about
this time doing much to strengthen the
cometary theory. This comet within Il
period of six years WAS seen 10 divide in
two in 1916 and in 1852 its disintegration
was so much further advanced that since
that time it has not been seen.
Curiously enough Blela was reported as
being visible to the naked eye at Santiago,
Chile, on Sunday, but this, as might have
been expected, has turned out to be an
error. The probabilities are that Biela
has become a mere trail of meleoric dust
such as that we are to encounter in two
weeks, all that is left of thirty-three-yeal
comet Whatever Of mystery as to origin
and cause is inherent in the problem the
trained methods of today should soon re
solve, since to the eye has been added the
iuerrant record of the camara, and wha
escapes the observer himself is caught by
the watchful plate.

THE SOUTH AND EXPANSION.
A Leading Southern Newspaper Admits
That Its Section Will Benefit From
The Philippines.

Savannah News" Dem.)l
Some of the thoughts thrown out at the
cotton convention at Atlanta are calcu'
lated to create the impression that the
South has big interest in the Philippines
being controlled by this country. 1t ls
evident that the time is rapidly approach
ing when she will manufacture the greater
portion of her cotton crop. She will have
to have market for the products OF her
mills. The great market of the future for
cotton goods is pretty sure to. be the far
East. Several of the European nations are
now struggling for portions of China. The
purpose of all of them is to control the
trade of that great empire. England alone
favors the open door policy. All the
others propose to monopolze the trade OF
the territory they dominate.
If this country is TO share in the trade
of China it must be in position to dose
If it controls the Philippines 1t will be in
such position. The indications are that
the South will be the section Of this coun-
try most deeply interested in the trade OF
the far East on account of the products of
her cotton mills. II would seem to be the
interest of the South, therefore, that this
country should pursue policy respecting
the Philippines that would not only insure
to it the trade of these islands, but also
give it strong hold on the trade of China
In.this connection the need of the Mica
ragua Canal was spoken of at the Atlanta
convention. Assuming that we are right
in the view that the South is going to
manufacture her cotton into cotton fabrics
and send the products of her mills to for
eign Enthusiastically the markets of
the far East-then the Nicaragua Canal is
of vastly more Importance to her than to
the North. Southern newspapers have
sometimes doubted the craftsmanship of
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, but the
developments are showing that he has
about the longest head of all of the South
ern men in Congress. He has been, and
still is, strong advocate of the immediate
construction of the Nicaragua Canal and OF
the policy of holding on to the Philippine
Islands at least, of retaining such a grip
on the islands as will give their trade to us
and enable US to get our fair share of the
trade of China.

Dublin fusieers pick up sundry recruits
in the Irish metropolis, albeit it is city
patriotic even to Anglaphobism, but the
names of its officers who were shot at Ia
lana hill do not afford an index to the
Irish character of the corps; Captain Wei
don, killed, and Captains Lowndes and
Dibley, Leutenants Perrean and Genge,
wounded, are certainly not representative
of anv well-known Irish, or even Anglo
Irish, families. The Irish landlords, pinch

In like manner of Dublin fusileers two

Bengal f1sileers and the Bengal fusileers,
were brought from abroad some thirty
years ago and made the First and Second
battalions of another nominally Irish regl-
ment, called the Muster fusileers. The
first of tht e, Gives old regiment, organ
lied by him in 1856, were nicknamed the
"dirty shirts" on account of their unfinished
toilets-a la the Irish brigade at Cremona
during conflict, century later, at
Delhi. The second, organized in 1887,
also fought in the Indian mutiny and had

land grab in Burnah. The Munster
