was in the fact that cotton was prac-
tically the only crop. Another cause,
he asserted, was that the education was
not sufficient nor practical.
As far as the coIored race is con-
cerned, there is no opening for them
in trade or in the professions. Mr..
Brown dwelt on the presence of the
negroes as the special cause of the want
of development of the South. He re-
garded them as retarding the indus
trious, moral. religious, social and agri-
cultural development of the section
and he felt that if they were absent
a better class of labor would take their
places. The more the negroes are paid,
the less efficient they are as laborer.
AT the afternoon session the commsl-
sion listened to a statement of P. Fl.
Lovejoy, a merchant and planter of
Hawkinsville. Ga. He spoke specially
of the relations of the local merchants
and the farmers. The merchants them
selves had not been prosperous for sew
eraI years. They were compelled tn
make the ma iority of their sales on
credit and had to take mortgages upon
the land of the farmers, If they had
any. or on their crops if they had no
lands. Many of them were not able
to give collateral of any value and to
such men sales We're made on large
margins of profit.

He said that freight rates from Geor-
gia to New York were about twice
what they are from New York to Geor-
gia. The large cities were evidently
being built up at the expense of the
country. Even the watermelon crop
was unfavorable. We have found that
in shipping melons we pay the freight.
The railroads cut us out of profits in
that business

James to-day rendered his opinion in
the case against F. B. Black accused
by the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals because of his ope-
ration of a Coursing park. The decision
is favorable to the society. The jus

coursing park constituted cruelty to
animals under the statute because the
hares are not in their wild state, but
are in captivity. Mr. Black, who is
manager of the coursing club here, is
cited to appear for sentence on Satur-
day next. He will appeal carrying the
case to the supreme court if necessary

AS to the importance OF the congress- the
following extract from Colonel Thompsons
letter is interesting:
Meeting there several hundred dele
gates coming from all the States and Ter
ritories west of the Mississippi river. and
who were by large odde the ablest and
brainiest set of men have ever met in
convention for any purpose whatever,
amongst them were four governors OF
States and Territories, four ex-goyernors,
two ex-lieutenant governors and several
congressman and ex-congressmen. This as

ing for its aim and object the furtheronce

discussed and the congress OF the United

1t was matter of chagrin to these

TO pour or course the rain interfered
with the plan of festivities out OF doors,
but the fact seemed only to heighten the
cordial hospitality indoors.
AT S;45 the guests arrived and were re-
eeived at the front entrance by Miss Ruth
Finch and MIR. Arthur Foster.
The receiving party proper occupied po-
sitons in the long parlor on the right of
the hall, and here the guests had the
pleasure of meeting host and hostess, re-
newing or making the charming acquaint-
ance of the guests of honor-Messrs. and
Mesdames Foster and Fain.
Refreshments of dainty cake and cream
were served in the dining room. where n

The punch-bowl priestesses were Misses
Maggie Markham and Laura Jarrard.
Both of the young ladies were gowned in
white organdie, and looked like fairy lilies
nodding to a sparkling brooklet running
over ruby pebbles as they served a drink
fit for the gods of old.
Throughout the evening sweet music
from unseen musicians lent an added
charm and accorded well with the gay
wit and repartee SO much In evidence.
