 welt and Root.

Washington, May 6.-The case Of Mai. Estes G. Rathbone, who was con victed in the Cuban courts of mal- administration of his office, was the subject of an extended conference at the White House tonight. Senator Hanna made an earnest appeal to the President for a new trial for Rath- bone. protesting that he believed him innocent of the crime of which he was convicted.
 Secretary Root and Attorney General Knox were present.
 The Secretary and Attorney General remained with the President for some time after Senator Hanna and the two attorneys who accompanied him had departed. It is understood a state ment will be prepared in the shape of probably an appeal to the Presi- dent for interference in the case with a view of securing a new trial by the Cuban courts for Rathbone. The eff fort will be to secure action before May 20. when the government passes from American to Cuban control.

 Something like half a million tons of coal from the Birmingham district are received annually for consumption by local industries, for coaling vessels touch ing here and for export.
 But Mobile is not dependent upon her exports and imports. Her local manufac- tories, her wholesale business with tho interior and her trucking business is somewhat tremendous More than 2oOo cars of strawberries. beans, peas and cabbage and other products of the truck farms about Mobile were shipped to the southern and western markets last year. Solid trainloads of these products go out almost every day during the vegetable and fruit seasons. These trains have the same fast schedule and right of way over all other trains which the banana trains have. This vegetable business alone amounts to more than $1. .000.000 annuaI,y Indeed there is no one section of Florida whtre .he vegetabl business amounts to so much annually as that about Mo- bile.

 There is no duty upon bananas. They are worth an average of 65 cents bunch on the cars at Mobile. They are deliv- cred in Chicago 36 hours after arrival in Mobile, and are worth perhaps dollar or more a bunch there.
 One who sees the great quantities of bananas unloaded from these ships Is amazed at the number consumed in this country. Indeed 1t would seem that the shipments from Mobile alone would give every man, woman and child In the Uni ted States one banana at least every day in the year.

THE 7TH GEORGIA CAVALRY.
One OF Chatham County's Civil War
rIbntiOns-


Bruins wick, Ga. Oct. 6, 1902.-Editor
Morning News, Savannah, Ga: While
in Atlanta last week heard that some
gentleman in Savannah was compiling
a list of the military organizations
from Savannah and Chatham county,
in our Civil War. l write to correct
an error which appeared in your pa
per some four or five weeks ago. Said
paper contained a list of the different
regiments and battalions that Savan-
nah Furnished, but omitted to mention
the Seventh Gth) Georgia Cavalry,
which had its origin at the old Ten
Brock race course near Savannah,
with Edward G. Anderson, Jr., as cap
tain of the Randolph Rangers, which
company was afterwards ordered to
Kilkenny, Bryan county, and increased
TO battalion and Capt Anderson pro-
moted to major, and did active service
on the coast Of Georgia, preventing the
enemy, who landed from their gum
boats, from devastating the pIanta-
tions.
We were soon consolidated with Mai.
William p White (of SaVannah), cav
airy battalion, then stationed at Wac
camaw Neck, s. c., and Capt. Joseph
MeAllister squa dron of cavalry, then
stationed near the fort in Bryan coun-
ty, named for his family, and formed
the Seventh (7th) Georgia Cavalry, and
ordered to Virginia, with White as
colonel, McAllis ter as lieutenant colo
mel, Anderson as major. The gallant
White lost his life at Waccamaw from
the bullet OF an assassin. This regi-
ment saw hard service in Virginia, and
at Trayilion Station the brave Meal
lister was killed early in action and
Maj. Anderson assumed command and
was wounded. The two senior captains,
Russell and Miller, were both killed

VALD0STA NEWS.
October Term of Court-LarEe Gin
merry Begins Operation.


valdosta, Ga, Oct. lot develops
here to-day that two white men, claim
ing TO be from Jacksonville, Fla, have
been working among the negroes Of
this city and section with a view to
organizing a labor union among them.
1t seems that their efforts are directed
principally at the cooks and wash
women. Several meetings have been
held and many negroes have ATTENDED
them. 1t is supposed that the men get
a good fee out of the negroes and,
having gotten all out of 1t they can,
they will depart for some other COM
munIty. 1t is safe to say that there
will be no more meetings of this kind,
as steps will be taken at 0Sce to put
an end to their operations here. The
whites and blacks live peaceably in
this city and there is not much dispo-
sition on the part of the citizens to
allow outside meddlers to disturb their
relations.
The October term of Berrien Superior
Court will be held at Nashville next
Monday, with Judge Seabrook on the
bench. The session promises to be the
most interesting that has been held in
a long time There are fifteen Jail cases
awaiting trial, among them being the
case against Mack Paulk for the muir
der OF his brother, Hilsman Paulk.
This case will be fought to a finish on
both sides and will be more interesting
on account of the relations which ex-
listed between the two men. as well as
their high standing in the county. The
trial and conviction of Boisy Bryant
some time ago relieves the docket Of
one murder case.
Valdosta's big ginnery, which is be-
ing managed by Mr.. Howard Harris,
Of Savannah. and said to be the largest
ginnery in the world. has begun oper-
atoms. after months of work in con-
struction. The ginnery is fitted up with
all of the latest improved machinery
and the managers were agreeably sur
prised at the smoothness with which
every part of the big plant moved off
when the steam was turned on. The
company have buyers all over Georgia
and Florida buying seed cotton which
will be prepared for market upon their
own gins.

VALDOSTA FAIR.
Managers Have Secured Splendid
Exhibits of Cattle and Sheep.


Exhibits of Cattle and Sheep.
Valdosta, Ga, Oct 10.-A number of
prominent railroad men, including the
leading officials of the Plant System
and Georgia Southern roads, were in
the city this week perfecting' their
plans for schedules to this city dur
ing the coming State Fair. These off,
Gals say that they want TO make their
schedules as convenient as possible,
and especially so as to induce travel.
All of them were agreea bly, surprised
at the arrangements that have been
made for the Fair, and they also ex-
pressed the belief that the attendance
would be unusually large.
The managers of the Fair closed a
contract to-day by which they will
secure an exhibit of cattle from Penn
sylvania, which is claimed to be the
finest herd in the world. They will
also have several very fine herds from
Tennessee and Kentucky. The exhibit
of sheep from the best ranches in Ohio
will also be a fine feature Of the live
stock department.
The exhibits in every one of the de-
partments of the fair is unusually full
and the indications are that all of the
space will be taxed to supply the de-
mand. The machinery exhibit has
grown wonderfully in the past week or
so, the managers having had more ap-
plications for space than they could
accommodate.
One of the best out-of-door features
of the fair promises to be the Temple
of Music, which was a part of the
Buffalo Exposition. Letters from the
managers state that force of hands
will be here a week before the fair
opens to make the electrical connec-
tions for this excellent feature. The
other out-of-door attractions will also
be of high order.
