GEORGIA NEGROES TO BE REP
RESENTED AT PARIS.
T1any Unique Productions OF
Workmanship to Be Shown
at the Great Fair.

The negroes of the southern states,
more especially the $4,000 members
of that race in Georgia, will be repre-
scented at the Paris exposition. Satur-
day the exhibit left the Atlanta Uni
versity, where it has been in course OF
preparation for some months, for Chi
caeo, from whence it will be reshipped
to New York and Europe. The whole
exhibit is an attempt to show in a
small space six by three feet, which is
all the room allowed for it at the great
show, what the negro really is in the
south.
The exhibit consists of FIVE parts.
One is an electric cloe X in carved
frame, showing at successive intervals
Of time the number of acres of land
owned by the negroes of Georgia since
1870. The clock was carved by an illit-
crate unskilled workman and on the
frame are bars, reliefs of cotton, corn
and tobacco. Thirty-one charts were
done by hand in colors. These charts
show the growth and distribution OF
the negro population in Georgia and
throughout the world. 1t also shows
the age, classification and conjugate
condition of the negroes of this state
as compared with the whites, the pro-
portion of mulattos, the amount of
property owned and other statistics.
Charts show the income and expendi-
ture of negro families. Statistics of $50
negro families in Atlanta and some
1000 families in some country districts
in south Georgia have been used as
basis for this complication.
Nine large volumes bound in leather
contain collection of all the laws
passed in Georgia in regard to the ne
groes since 1882 to 1889. This is the
only collection of the kind that has
been made for former slave state.
Three other volumes give pictures OF
200 typical negro faces, the other two
volumes show pictures of street scenes
in negro life.

EFFORT TO PLAY A GEORGIAN
FOR A SUCKER.
Exper fences Of low and Ohio
lien Who Were Intended to
Share in the Fortunes.

Some DAYS ago we published from
our correspondent at Lyons, Ga.'
special dispatch in which it was stated
that Mr.. Mitch Fountain, OF Montgom-
cry county, had unexpectedly received
a letter from an uncle, of whose exist
ence he was not previously aware, IN
which ic was stated that the uncle was
languishing in a prison in Madrid,
Spain; that his young daughter was IN
distress because OF being left upon her
o,yn resources, and that the imprlson-
ed uncle had a fortune OF S4lS,VOo
which he would be pleased to share
with his Montgomery county klnsman
if the said kinsman would kindly look
ont for his daughter and his fortune
during his imprisonment, Our DIS
patch concluded; Mr.. Fountain has
cabled that he viii except the charge.
Before this time no DOUBT, Mr.. Foun-
tain has received another communlca-
ton from his imprisoned uncle tell
ING him how certain matters are IL
volved. and that in order to straighten
them it will be necessary TO have a
few hundred dollars of ready 'cash-a
mere bagatelle in comparison with the
sum which Mr.. Fountain is TO receive
when .the impending lawsuit shall
have been settled and the devoted IA
Their and uncle shall have regained his
liberty.
We hope Mr. Fountain has not yet
sent the money. 1t may interest him
to know of the recent experiences OF
an Iowa man aud an Ohio man, both of
whom, as the "nephews'' of an alleged
imprisoned uncled in Madrid, received
communications similar to that receiv-
ed by him. And we recall, too, that
two or three parties in Florida have
during the past year or 80 been lnvlt-
ed to participate In the fortunes OF an
imprisoned, unfortunate relative in
Madrid, On condition that would they
take care of the pretty little daughter
o. the prisoner and advance few hur-
drad dollars for strengthening out a
temporary snarl.
The Iowa man in question cabled, as
Mr.. Fountain did, his acceptance OF
the charge. He did not remember his
uncle, but when there was beautiful
maiden in distress and several hun
dred thousand dollars in the case, he
was willing to think that possibly he
had forgotten his uncle in the rush OF
business. Two or three weeks after
be had caHed his acceptance there

chickens, turkeys, ducks, etc, of the

of this vast sum comes to our section =?
DO we not send off after two thirds OF
the eggs sold in our market? OF the
fowls and eggs sold in Valdosta, are
half of them raised in Lowndes, or any
adiourning county.
We very much fear that more than
half of the chickens and eggs sold
here are brought from north Georgia
or Tennessee. Why is this ? Is this
section not as we'll fitted for poultry
raising as any other section of the
state ? If farmers in north Georgia
can make money on eggs at Sc. and
chickens at Zoe. cannot money be
made upon chese products in this sect
