that il will be Nov. l before the en-
tire work is completed. This does not
mean that there win be any of that
great rush, hustle and activity of get
ting the buildings in readiness at the
very last moment before the Fair opens
even of putting them UP as exhib-
its are being housed. That is the spec
tacle that has confronted visitors to
some fairs and expositions, but the
Savannah Association saw far enough
ahead to start in time to insure the
completion of the work by some days
before the date assigned for the open
ing of the Fair.
Visitors may even now gain an ade-
quate idea of just how the buildings
will look. upon the completion. There
is TO be a complete metamorphosis in
the appearance of the grounds, how
ever. for they are to be leveled and
Handicapped.
Clay is being placed on the race
track, which. save for this surfacing,
has been completed. About six inches
of clay is being spread over the track,
and the convicts now put down
about 500 linear feet each day. II is
expected the work will be finished this
week, when vehicles will be allowed to
drive upon it. The track is to be har-
rowed with a fine-toothed harrow and
rolled, a process that. in conjunction
with the wheels of the vehicles, Is ex-
pected to cut up the track to a proper
consistency for racing. The fence on
a portion of the south side of the track
will not be built until the harrow and
roller have been used. 1t was left UNI
finished on this account, as the line is
upon the outer edge of the track, and
1t was not desired to have the fence
interfere with the perfection of the
track.
The smaller gang of convicts. the
wheelbarrow brigade. which has been
at work on that portion of the track
near the grandstand, will be taken off
after tomorrow. The work will then
be completed by the cart gang. The
gang going off will be put to work on

work VIII BE Done in Beautifying
the Grounds-DistinctIy Favorable
Impression Is Created Upon Those
Who Visit the Grounds.
People who drive frequently along
Dale avenue are impressed by the
progress of the work on the buildings
for the State Fair. Those who drive
that way occasionally are surprised
when they get within sight of the
grounds. They see great buildings
looming up, and then the conviction
is forced upon them that preparations
are going on apace for great Fair
one that will be the most important
State Fair ever held in Georgia.
From a distance, approaching either
by Estill avenue or Waters road, the
buildings may be seen. They occupy
a commanding position, on the high
ground of the State Fair site, just
east of Waters road and south of Dale
avenue. The slight eminence of their
location adds to their hight, enabling
them to be seen from afar.
1t is when the distance has been re-
duced that a full idea of the size of
the buildings is TO be gained. 1t would
seem that there should be little fear
that there will be lack of space for the
many exhibits that are to be made. The
Woman's and Educational, the Manu-
featuring and the Agricultural Build
ing all seem to offer space enough for
counties from far and wide to get in
their exhibits, besides leaving ample
room for individuals, organizations,
business concerns and others to get in
their displays.
Within two weeks, Mr.. Percy Sugden,
civil engineer and architect for the Sa-
vannah Fair Association, said yester-
day, the work on the buildings should
be finished. The contractor. Mr.. Z. p.
Guptill, is employing many men upon
the work, and a visit to the grounds
that was paid by a representative of
the Morning News yesterday seemed to
show that Mr.. Sugden was about cor
rect in his estimate of the time required
for the completion of the work on the
buildings.
The location of the buildings is ia
miiar to readers Of the Morning News,
who recall the large-scale picture of
the site. and the buildings that was
published some time ago. Besides those
that have been named, there are the
grandstand, the entrance, the cattle
and poultry sheds, the stables and the

The German element of the city is

Passengers only one way are shown
by the above statement. If the fig
ures are doubled, showing passengers
handled both ways, it will be seen that
1853, 1854 have been to Tybee over the
railroad. Mr. Saussy thinks that 10
Der cent. would be small for an esti-
mate of children who paid no fare,
and of whom no record was kept. The
children, therefore, would run the to-
tai to 1852 people handled in four
months, or an average OF l,5St DAY.
Despite the fact that there were so
many passengers, the road was operat-
ed without accident to anyone of them.
The trains, too with but very few ex-
ceptions, have all been run on sched-
ule time. The exceptions were in in
stances wherein there were orders TO
hold the Tybee-boInd trains for trains
from the interior that were delayed.
The decrease in the business of last
May over that of May of last year was
ascribed by Mr.. Saussy to the
Sam Jones meetings that were
in progress during last May.
Mr.. Jones held his meetings in the
Military Parade Ground. and the peo-
pie went there instead of to Tybee.
But very few of the eXcursionists
who came in over the Central Railroad
Yesterday from Atlanta and neighbour
ing points went to Tybee. The major
ity of the excursionists were colored
people, and they were interested in the
sights about Savannah. The excur-
sionists will probably visit the island
to-day. as their tickets, returning, are
good until tomorrow night.

THOUSANDS MADE IN PEACHES.
The Season just Closed Was One of
the Best Ever Seen.


Mr.. o. NJ. Houser of Fort Valley, the
heart of the peach section of Georgia,
spent several days in Savannah last
week accompanied by his wife. Mr..
Houser gives a favorable report of the
peach crop in Houston county this
year. The season has just closed there.
Mr.. Houser said that more than 300
cars went from Houston county and
more money was made on peaches this
year than ever before. The Hale Geor-
gia Orchard Company Melted, it is es-
timated. somewhere about $4,000, the
Albeaugh Fruit Company $4,000, and j..
d. Henrickson $4,000. Mr.. w. G.
Wright, who is the largest Individual
fruit grower there, Melted $4,000 or
$4,000. While smaller growers made
good money.
There are between 5000 and 5000
acres of land planted in fruit in Hous-
ton County, and since 1889 the acreage
has been steadily growing. This un-
improved land lying about the orchards
may be bought for $50 or $40 per acre.
while the improved, that is, the land
with trees on it, sells for $50 to $15.
Houston county is regarded as the best
peach growing section of the South.
And many Northern concerns are buy.
ing land and setting out trees.

pers We're in the city that it was de-
termlned to postpone the meeting until
some more suspicious day, when bust
ness of importance will be brought be-
lore the post by President Krauss and
cther members. Mr.. Krauss will re-
port upon certain concessions that
nave been made the travelling men by
the railroads with all of which the
relations of the post are now very
pleasant.
One thing that comes to my OBJ
servation," said Mr.. Krauss yester-
DAY, and gives me the greatest salts
faction, is the report that travelling
men of Georgia make upon the guber-
material race. To one who has known
Col. ]. H. Estin for as many years
as I have, and who esteems him so
highly, 1t is naturally gratifying to
be told that he has such SPLENDID
chances for winning in the campaign
into which he has entered.
Il have had talks with a number of
Georgia drummers lately, and they
certainly show that there is a strong
sentiment among the people they meet
for Col. Estill. He is the choice of both
the travelling men and those with
whom they come in contact. The mer-
chants to whom they sell goods appear
to want Col. Estill, because they APP
prove OF his business methods and his
business reputation. The travelling
men know and appreciate this reputa-
ton, and through their agency, it is
being disseminated throughout the
state. That is all that is necessary.
Such man as Col. Estill should be
elected Governor, and, if the people
knew him as l know him, they would
all vote for him.
Col. Estill's attitude on the whisky
question is the correct and proper one.
His local option plank in his platform
should appeal to all-those who favor
prohibition and those who do not. Col
Estill is himself a 'teetotaler.' as
have known for years. The strictest
prohibitionist in the world could not
object to his personal attitude toward
inunr."

NO NEWS OF LECHNER.
Carolina Banker Last Seen in sa-
vannah Aug. 10.


vmnnah Aug. 10.
M. r. Lechner, a wealthy banker Of
Timmonsville, S. c., and owner of a
valuable vineyard and grocery store at
Griffin. Ca. has been missing since
| Aug. 10, and the police have been ask
ed to try and locate him. On that date
Lechner was in Savannah, on his way
to Griffin, and he has disappeared as
mysteriously as if the earth had swal-
lowed him up.
He may have been fo1iiy dealt with.
but as far as known he did not have
very large amount of money on his
person at that time.
Mr.. Lechner's family have exhausted
every means of finding him and have
almost given up all hope. Mrs. Lech-
ner and her daughter were at Griffin
when the banker and merchant disap-
peared. He had written them that he
would leave Timmonsville for Griffin
on Sunday, 18th, and did so. He has
been traced as far as this city, but
where he went from here cannot be
ascertained.
Mrs. Lechner and her daughter wait
ed patiently for his arrival in Griffin
and upon his failure to put in an ap-
pearance presumed that he had been
detained at Timmonsville. They re-
turned to their South Carolina home,
and were amazed to find that nothing
had been heard of him since his depar-
ture for Griffin. The other officers in
the bank were equally as surprised to
learn that he never reached Griffin.
letter was written to Superintend-
ent Reilly asking him to try and To-
cate Lechner, but the detectives were
unable to learn anything of his where
abouts. Nothing was said about the
missing mans position In the financial
world, and the information that he
could not be found was forwarded to
Mrs. Lechner. The letter was filed at
headquarters and no further thought
was given to the case.
Yesterday morning, Capt M. Ed Will
son, who is a friend of the family, re-
ceived a telegram from Miss Bertha
r. Lechner. the missing bankers
daughter, asking that he take up the
search The telegram explained that
Mr.. Lechner had been last heard from
in this city on the 18TH and asked that
the hospitals be searched. Capt Will
son visited the hospitals. but found no
one who even resembled the South
Carolina man. He was unable TO get
any furthre information and wired
asking for full particulars by mail
Mr.. Wilson also called at police
headquarters and had a conference
with Supt Reilly. The telegram from
Miss Lechner was shown to the super
intendent, but he was unable to adj
vance any plausible theory to account
tor the disappearance. Supt. Reilly
said that he would do everything in
his power to assist in locating the
missing man. but with the limited in
formation in his possession the task is
a difficult one. The detectives have
been furnished a description of Lech-
ner, but have never run across him in
their travels. II may be that he has
become temporarily deranged, and has
wandered in some out-of- the-way
place. He is a German and speaks
with decided accent.

Horace Jones Not Satisfied With II
Year Sentence.

Horace Jones, convicted of voluntary
manslaIghter on Aug. 2, and sentenc-
ed by Judge Falligant tooserve fifteen
years in the penitentiary. has filed an
application in the Superior Court for
a new trial. The prisoner shot and
killed Ben Blount. an aged negro. on
July 4, on the Louisville Road, about
four miles from the city.
The witnesses before the coroner $
jury described "A cold blooded murder,
without a single redeeming feature,
and the man was held for the high ar
grade of crime. He was more success
full in his fight in the tribunal where
he was placed on trial, and after
wrestling with the question for several
hours the jury returned the verdict of
granddaughter. Jones contended that
the shooting was done in self defense,
and that is still his contention. The
prisoner is represented by Mr.. Robert
] &ravis, and the motion is put upon
the theory that the jury's verdict was
contrary to the law and evidence.

President Max Krauss of Post A of

greatly encouraged by the expressions
ne hears in his travels from those to
whom Savannah will look for the sue
cess of the State Fair. Wherever Mr..

all say that they will use their utmost
endeavor to attend. That means, of
course, that they will visit the city to
see some of the many brilliant attrac-
tons that will be provided by the Fair
Association.
The travelling men, Mr.. Krauss de-

After tomorrow there will be Two
trains less than now, each way, which
will mean that the comparatively few

An exceptionally heavy business has
been done this season by the Tybee
Railroad. This has been due largely
to the many excursions to Savannah
and to Tybee that have been run dur
ing the season by the Central Rail-
road. The other lines entering Savan-
nah have also run a number of Sue
cessful excursions, and they have con-
tributed to the business of the Tybee
