ALEXANDRIA. Va, February %. 1901.
Chairman Park Agnew of the state re-
publican committee stated this morning
that there would be meeting of that COM
mittee at an early date to consider the
question of nominating republican candi-
dates for the state constitutional conven-
ton. He said the date of the meeting had
not been decided upon. but that 1t would
be held in Richmond. The opinion was ex-
pressed that the naming of candidates
would be confined to the counties in which
the white population predominated, as it
would probably be useless to place men In
the field in the so-called black belts.
r In this city the general sentiment seems
to be strongly in favor of Col. Francis L.
Smith as the democratic representative for
Alexandria In the convention. No other
name is now prominently spoken of in that
connection. and as yet no candidate has
been formally announced.

is not only the greatest seaboard city IN
Georgia, but one OF the greatest on the
Southern Atlantic seacoast. She stands
first in point OF greatness, in receipts Of
cotton, the greatest staple product OF the
South; and first of all the seaportS Of the
entire country in receipts of naval stores.
Metaphorically speaking, she may be said
to be the parent OF the balance OF the
state, and her children 10 the remotest
generation will gladly embrace the OPP
portunity which the fair will offer to
press the soil which was followed by the
landing of Oglethorpe and his followers
In 1893. The greatness of her commerce,
her magnificent buildings. her beautiful
streets and alleys, together with her in
wiling parks which are dotted with tow
ering monuments erected to heroes, states
men and sages of the past, will all COM
bine with the attractions offered by the
fair TO induce teeming mAltitudes to ct
tend and thus complete its success and
usefulness.
Now let the people Of the state emu
late the example set before them by the
society In beginning early to make pre-
paration, for exhibits and displays. let
them also begin early so to shape their
business that they may be able to attend
the fair. We are informed that the nail
roads are giving assurance of low rates
of fare; perhaps lower than has ever been
given on a similar occasion. Savannah is
amply able and willing to entertain all
who may go to the fair and the man
or woman who fails to attend the next
State Fair viii simply miss the opp0rtun-
ity of his or her life.
