Friebvg wife Of Arthur Frieberg, n
medical student, committed suicide
Saturday night by taking a dose of
whisky and cocaine. Alma, a five
year-old daughter, to whom a similar
dose was given, is dying. The mother
attempted to give another daughter,
named Emma, seven years of age, a
dose of the poison, but she became
suspicious and refused TO take it. In
letters left by Mrs Frieberg she
states that she committed the crime
because il was her belief that her
husband was paying attentions to an
other woman.

died at the Savannah Hospital night
before last after a short illness, was
buried yesterday afternoon in Laurel
Grove Cemetery. The funeral ser
vices were conducted in the First Bap-
fist Church, of the Sunday-school of
which she was a member. The service
was attended not only by a large
gathering Of those who had known the
child but by her companions in the
home as well. The child had always
been most lovable and popular and
there was none of her former compan-
ions that did not weep as they gazed
on her form for the last time. before
the cortege started from the church for
the cemetery.
The services were conducted Jointly
by Rev. DR.. ]. D. Jordan, pastor of the
First Baptist Church, and by Rev. Dr.
]. Y. Fair, pastor of the Independent
Presbyterian Church. Lead Kindly
Light and ASLEEP In Jesus" were
sung by Mrs. NJ. Ed Wilson and Miss
Ellen Morgan as a part of the service.
The little white casket was covered
with flowers as it lay in the church,
and so many more of these last tri-
butes were added at the cemetery as
completely to cover the little mound.
Owing to the Indictment weather the
children of the asylum did not go to

MRS. LANNON'S CLOSE CALL.
She Discovered Fire on Roof just in
Time to Save Her House.

The fire at Mrs. Bannon's dwelling
at Thunderbolt. at an early hour yes
terday morning, mention of which was
made in the Morning News, burned
considerable of the roof of the house.
But for the prompt discovery Of the
flames Mrs. Bannon and members of
her family would have probably been
cremated, and their escape was a mar
row one.
Mrs. Bannon was awakened by n
noise as If plastering was falling, and
at first thought rats were at work in
the ceiling. She gave the alarm and
the household was aroused. The roof
was burning rapidly, and quick work
with buckets of water was all that
saved the house from total destruction.
The fire started over the room occu-
pied by Mrs. Bannon, and is believed
to have started from a defective Chin
ney. The roof of the house over the
room was badly damaged, and the loss
to the residence will probably reach
$50. 1t is owned by Mr.. George Par
sons and is not insured. The furni-
ture in Mrs. Bannon's room was dam
aged by water, and the loss to her eff
fects will reach 500. covered by insur-
ance.

THE PEOPLE ARE COMING.
Passenger Agent Halle Says the
Central VIII Bring Thousands.


General Passenger Agent J. c. Halle
of the Central of Georgia Railway is
an enthusiast for the success of the
Fair. Mr.. Halle has done his part in
the matter thoroughly. Advertising
matter has been scattered literally
along the lines of the Central system
through the length and breadth of the
state and the people have been fully
informed OF Savannahs attraction.
You are going. to have big Fab
and a big crowd of people" said Mr..
Halle to President Owens of the Fair
Association at the grounds yesterday.
MY reports all show the greatest In
terest in the Fair and an unusual de-
sire on the part of the people, espe-
cially in the up country, TO visit Sa-
vannah. They are coming and we ex-
pect to do a tremendous business in
bringing the people here for the next

With Mr.. Halle was Mr.. J. NJ. NAL
lory, travelling passenger agent or the

weeks Mr.. Mallory has done nothing
but travel up and down the Centrals

work for the Fair.

COTTON NO LONGER KING.
Hay Seems to Have Usurped Its
Place With Georgia Farmers.


Judging from the eight handsome
county exhibits at the State Fair 1t
would seem that cotton is no longer
king, at least not in Georgia. The
county exhibits have some cotton to
show; nearly every one has a bale or
two, and some more. but there is no
elaborate display of the staple in any
of the exhibits.
Judging from the appearance Of the
exhibits hay is a far more important
article in the estimation of enterpris-
ing Georgia farmers than cotton.
There are scores of bundles Of splen-
did hay, regular banks of it. There are
Bermuda and crabgrass and clover
and crowfoot and peavine in plenty,
and among the best and sweetest
smelling is peanut or "goober" hay.
Spalding, Cobb, and some of the others
nave a number of bundles of this hay,
ana 1t is nicely made up, has a rich
Icok 20 it, a sweet smell and the ex-
motors say that 1t is a good selling
article.
The preference for hay above cotton.
as plainly shown by the exhibits,
would seem to indicate change in the
methods or Georgia farmers. Why

aid, who is the leader of the hay cam

is one of the things that will have to
be explained later.
cotton is not entirely scorned in the
EXHIBITS, however. There are some
very pretty pyramids of cotton on the
stalk arranged in pyramids and other
forms and every county has specimens
of its cotton in some shape or other,
These are all selected varieties. ordin-
airy short staple cotton being evidently
considered too common to take much
notice of.
1t IS strange that there is no special
exhibit of sea island cotton, yet such is
the case. Had Bulloch or Liberty,
Tattnall or Emanuel, or some of the
other counties of the First district put
In Tor the price, as they should have
done, there would doubtless have been
an ample display of the long staple va
rlety. AS matters stand in Savannah,
the headquarters for sea island cotton,
and at Savannah's Fair, the long sta
pie occupies place away in the back
ground.
Another curious thing is the atten-
ton to cotton seed. The few exhibits
OF cotton seed seen in the county dis
plays are small and apparently not re-
garded as of much Importance Now
that cotton seed has come to play such
an important part in the economy of
the Southern farmer, it would seem
that more attention would have been
given this product. Neither are the
cotton seed oil people in evidence as
yet among the exhibitors. 1t seems
that one of the most prominent of the
Southern farmers resources have been
neglected.
