STATE FAIR AT VALDOSTA.
That City Wants the Fact Thorough
Nv Understood.

Valdosta, Ga, Aug. 23-The people of
Valdosta are justly indignant at the atti-
tude of the managers of the Atlanta Fair
and the apparent attitude of the Atlanta
press toward the Georgia State Fair In
Fridays issue of the Constitution an in
terview appeared, purporting to come
from r. II. Martin, secretary, in which
Mr.. Martin four times in half-column
article referred to his fair as the state
Fair" Whether this was done with the
intention of creating a false impression or
whether simply from force of habit, the
effect is the same, that is, to create the
impression that Atlanta is at work on the
Georgia State Fair. If done without in
tention it must pass simply under the
head of negligence. and. if done intention
ally. il is nothing less than piracy.
The people of Valdosta and of South
Georgia have put up their money for the
Georgia State Fair and have entered into
contract with the Georgia State Agricul-
tural Society that they. Jointly with this
society. shall conduct the Georgia State
Fair. As a plain business proposition, this
means that the people of Valdosta have
given value received from the prestige of
the Georgia State Agricultural Society
and no other combination of men has any
right to the use of the term State Fair"

The Death SIN a Mystery.

James Wards death is still shrouded in
mystery, though some of the shrewdest
officers in Rome are working on the case.
Ward was the man who was shot in a dis
reputable house in East Rome several days
ago, and afterwards died of his wounds.
Maud Smith, white, and Ed Medley, white,
were arrested, but, as there was no evil
dence against them, they We're released.
A negro named Hettie Stewart was with
Ward. however, when he was shot. and
she has been held for trial. Ward gained
consciousness before he died, but told two
stories over and over again. One was that
he tried TO commit suicide and the other
that Hettie Stewart shot him Evidently
the man thought he would not die, and
wanted TO shield the woman. The most
damaging evidence against the woman is
given by Wards 13-year-oId niece, who
lived with him. The child stated that her
uncle and the woman were quarreling

VIRTUE IN A WISHING TREE.
WashingtOn's Chestnut Brought
Luck to a Worthy Girl.
From the Philadelnhia Prass


In Lafayette square, in Washington, is
a dwarf chestnut tree known to old resi-
dents as 1.-The wishing tree" That many
people have firm belief in it's properties
as granter of wishes is daily proved by
the number of persons passing under it
to silently name their wish. Many men
and women whose names are known the
country over stop moment by this tree
and indulge themselves in perhaps their
only superstition. Just now the tree is
full of nuts, and il seems that this is an
especially propitious season for wishing
under it.
A young girl wing lately secured a posi-
ton in one of the government depart
ments, and who firmly believes in its eff
cacy, is an ardent lover of the tree
She had been trying very hard without
avail, to secure a small position, and one
morning, feeling discouraged, went to
Lafayette park, stopped under the tree
to make the wish of her heart and then
sat down on nearby bench to rest be-
fore going home. While sitting there she
engaged in conversation with a pleasant
looking woman, also enjoying the shade
of the old tree, and somehow told an
about her hopes and disappointments in
relation to the government position.
Her listener was "A sympathetic person,
and finally asked the young girls name
and address. In few days the young
girl received notice to proceed to GER
tain department for examination. She
passed 1t successfully, and was placed in
a much more lucrative position than she
had hoped for
1t turned out that her companion under
the tree was the wife of a powerful sena-
tor, and was so touched and pleased with
the young girls efforts and her childlike
faith in the wishing tree that she had
the great wish gratited.

CROPS AROUND PERRY.
Cotton Is in sad Need of Refresh
ing Rain.

CottOn is IN Sad Need OF REFRESH
ing Rain.
Fort Valley, Ga, Aug. 23.-The continued
drought coupled with the unusual heat
and oppressiveness, is damaging the cotton
crop daily. This section has not had a
general rain for over three weeks. and the
consequence is that the plant has ceased
fruiting, and in many instances, half
grown bolls are being forced open. A re-
freshing rain would be of incalcula BILE
benefit, while. if the drought continues
the early-planted cotton will be gathered
within a fortnight
Several parties from different sections
of the state have been prospecting here
for the past week with a view of buying
lands. and engaging in the fruit business.
While this years crop, on account of ad-
verse conditions, was poor in quality and
consequently, of small market value, yet
those acquainted with the industry claim
that there is satisfactory profit,
especially in peaches. Several hundred
thousand young trees will be planted in
this immediate vicinity next season.
Mr. Lloyd Edwin Moncrief and Miss
Pearla Reese Mann, two popular young
society people of this place, are TO be mar
ried on the Goth inst, at the residence of
the brides uncle, Mr.. j. A. Wood, near
here.
Invitations are out for the marriage of
Miss Corale Scroggs to Col Robert E.
Brown, both of this city, at the Methodist
Church. on Wednesday evening, Aug. 30
Miss Scroggs is the daughter of Prof. w.
j. Scroggs and is quite a favorite. Col.
