nolice think they have discovered a new scheme.
cooked up by crooks for holding up gambling
houses. Such a scheme. they say. has recently
been worked in Saratoga 1t provides that one
confederate shall go into a gambling house. buy
few dollars worth OF chips. lose them and then
reach for his wallet TO buy more He finds no
wallet and raises an outcry that he has been
robbed His associates all declare that he showed
them his wallet full OF money just before they
came in and that they are willing to testify TO
that fact The plan depends for its success upon
the willingness of the proPrietors of the gambling
house to settle for the money alleged TO have been
stolen rather than have any publicity about IT.

sUwANEE SPRING.

At Camden, N. j., they were discuss
ing the death of Hon, William j
Sewell, United States Senator from
New Jersey, when DIR. Taylor, the
family physician, in speaking of the
senator's death this afternoon, said:
He would have probably lived many
years with diabetes had he not gone
abroad, but Carlsbad had always
helped him before, and it was there
that he went for relief again. 1t was
there that he contracted the pneu-
monia trouble, and this, with the dia-
betes he already had, resulted in a
complication that medical skill proved
unable to cope with"
There DIR. w. H. Morse, the
American director of the Bureau OF
Materia Medica, said:
THAT meets my argument for Su-
vance Springs. I published a good
word for them five years ago, and
continue to maintain that in every
way the water is the equal of Carlsbad
or any other. The Springs are easy OF
access. and the psychic influences OF
change of scenery and climate are
wonderful. There are no chill winds to
cause pneumonia, and no malaria. Ny
advice is to send all patients with kid
ney troubles to Suwanee Springs, and
let Carlsbad take care of Itself. Springs
equal in every way to the most aristo-
cratic in Europe, need our apprecia-
ton, and they are getting it,"

Atlanta, Ca. Feb. 12.-Valdosta gets
she next state Fair. This was decid-
ed this afternoon by the Executive
Committee of the State Agricultural
Society after hearing committees both
from Savannah and Valdosta.
Savannah was represented by George
w. Owens, president of the Savannah
Fair Association, and Isaiah Solomons,
while the committee from Valdosta
was made up of w. S. West, T. Ct.
Crawford and A. T. Moore.
The Savannah committee was heard
first. They offered to insure $4,000 in
premiums and pay all the expenses in
cident to the Fair.

600 in premiums, all expenses, and
promised TO give the State Agricultural
Society 20 per cent. of the net profit.
This latter feature seemed to catch
the eve of the committee, and though
net profit is something almost unknown
in connection with a fair, the commit
tee decided to take the chances.
As a matter of fact Valdosta's offer
simply amounts to $4,000 more in pre-
miums than that of Savannah. The Sa-
Vannah committee expected to be
called on again after the Valdostans
had been heard from, but the commit
tee went into executive session and de-
cided the matter without further in
quiry.
II is stated the decision was unani-
nous. The only other matter of inter-
est was the induction into office of
Hon. Dudley Hughes of Twiggs county,
the newly elected president. The speech
OF the occasion was to have been made
by Hon. j. Pope Brown, the retiring
president, but he was taken suddenly
though not seriously. i'll this morning
and could not be present.
The speech was made by Secretary
Martin V. Calvin, and an appropriate
response was made by President
Hughes upon assuming the gavel.

RACE MEETING OR FAIR.

Agricultural Socfety's Help.


Agricultural Society's Help.
Despite the failure of Savannah to
get the State Fair for 1902, this city
win have either a fair or big race
meeting next fall. The directors of the
Savannah Fair Association want to
have one or the other and 1t is prob
able that they will soon decide which
itFWill be. M
Col. j. II E.still returned to the city
yesterday, though not from Atlanta, as
he was unable to go there to appear
with the Savannah committee before
the Executive Committee of the State
Agricultural Society. When seen about
the failure of Savannah to get the Fair
Col. Estin expressed the view that 1t
would be to the city's interests not 70
attempt to give a fair, but to give a
big race meeting in the fall.
Mr.. b. 81. Levy, vice president of
the Savannah Fair Association, favors
Savannah holding a fair, even though
Naldosta outbid this city and secured
the State Fair.
we don't want to antagonize VAL
dosta's fair and we will not do it," said
Mr.. Levy, but there is no reason why
the Savannah Fair Association or some
other association should not give a fair
at Savannah Even though it would
not be under the auspices of the State
Agricultural Society, 1t could yet be
made successful. l do not see any par
ticular advantage that follows form the
connee ton of the Agricultural Society
with a fair anyway. The people who
make exhibits are, as a rule, in that
business, and they will show their
belongings anywhere. Savannah estab-
lished splendid reputation by meet
ing all OF its Fair obligations. 1t
gave big premiums, too. and the ex-
hibitors who were here last fall will be
glad TO come again. l think we should
have another fair. by all means, and
il could be made Just as successful in
it's agricultural features as was that
of last fall"
Maj. G.. NJ. Ryals. another of the
directors. declined to discuss the fall
ure to secure the fair for Savannah.
I'm like the little boy who was run
over by the calf" said Maj. Ryals; II
have nothing to say"
