TO DINE FARMERS CONGRESS.
Farmers of LOwndes Will Give Big
Barbecue and Dinner at Valdosta.

valdosta, Ca, Sept. 13.-The commit
tee of farmers which was appointed
two weeks ago to prepare a dinner
and barbecue for the members of the
Farmers National Congress, which is
to come here on Oct. II, met in the
Court House to-day to discuss the
matter. Most of them brought good
reports, though some doubt has been
expressed as to the day on which the
visitors will be here. This fact will
make it hard for local committees to
work, as only one or two days notice
will be given them as to which day
the visitors will come. They may re-
main in Macon four days and they
may stay there only three days. 1t
was determined, however this morn
ing to get up a bigger barbecue and
dinner and to have a number of speak
ers present to discuss agricultural
matters. The discussion this morn
ing will probably result in more social
features among the farmers in future,
as there was a strong desire manifest
ed on the part of those present for a
closer mingling and stronger bonds be-
tween the farmers of the county.

Control of Gainesville and Gulf to
Be Decided by the Courts.

Control of Gainesville and Gulf to
BE Decided by the Courts.
Gainesville, Fla, Sept. ia suit in
volving nearly hundred thousand dol
lars worth of property has been begun
in the court here. 1t is that of v. J..
Herlong VS.. Jas. NJ. Graham, w. w.
Hampton and J. J. Barr for the recov-
cry of seven hundred and fifty shares
Of stock, or the controlling interest in
the Gainesville and Gulf Railway
Company.
In his bill of complaint Mr.. Herlong
states that he deposited $50 shares of
stock of the Gainesville and Gulf Rail-
road Company, which represented the
controlling interest of said railroad,
with the defendants. with the provision
that the defendants would advance
$4,000, to be used for the purpose of
paying off some pressing Indebtedness
Of the road. 1t was agreed that the
defendant should resume charge and
management of the road and operate
same until the said road earned and
paid back the $4,000, with interest.
The complainant alleges that the
amount of $4,000, with the interest,
was paid on July of the present year;
that thereafter he demanded the re-
turn of the stock and the control of
the road, which the said defendants
refused to deliver.
The defendants state they refuse TO
turn over the stock and control OF the
road on the grounds that the money
advanced has not been paid. While
the books show that said money has
been returned. the defendants declare
that these books are Incorrect as they
propose to prove before the court.

BAD OUTLOOK FOR ORANGES.
Summer. Drought and September
Rains Mean Great Decrease in

Orlando, Fla, Sept 13.-This has
been a peculiar summer for Florida.
Ordinarily the Florida winter is dry,
the spring months the season when
drouths may be expected and the sum-
mer, from June until October, the
rainy season of the year. Last winter
there was more rain than usual, and
during the spring months good show
ers were frequent, so that the regula-
ton spring drouth was absent.
But the summer has been marked by
a lighter rainfall than has been re-
corded for the past twenty-five years.
This condition set in early in May
when the young oranges were about the
size of cherries. The drought caused
large percentage of the fruit to fall
thus materially reducing the crop, until
it is estimated that the Florida orange
crop of the year will be at least TWEEN
ty-five per cent. lighter than that OF
last year.
The fruit is now three fourths grown,
and during the past ten days rains
have been more frequent than during
the summer. The effect of this Is to
throw a large amount of sap into the
tops, and this sudden filling out is
causing many oranges to split, and be-
come worthless. This will result in
a further decrease of the crop.
Experts, who have been
over. the orange producing portion of
the state, estimate this seasons crop
at 10000 boxes. This will be a beggarly
crop in comparison with the old time
6OO0,O 900 boxes per year. And it empha-
sizes the necessity. of the Florida far
mer turning his. attention to other
lines. He is doing this, and each year
he produces more and more diversified
crops, of beef. of sugar cane, and a
dozen other things7th that go to make up
the sum total of life's necessities. The
orange industry will come back IN
time, and will exceed its former pro-
portions. But it will never again be the
only reliance of the people. They have
gained wisdom through their adver-
sty

Have Taken Positions Elsewhere.

Have Taken Positions Elsewhere.
Atlanta, Sept. 1S.-When the stud
ents of the Georgia School of Technol-
ogy return to Atlanta for the years
work on Wednesday, Oct. "a, they will
find several changes in the faculty
which were not expected when the
school closed last June. Prof. Floyd
Charles Furlow, who has been con-
nected with the Tech. for a number of
wears, and who was elected as profess
sor of experimental engineering last
commencement, will not be with the
school this year. He Is now with the
Otis Elevator Company Of Philadelphia,
acting as consulting engineer and sup
erintendent of construction. Prof. Fur
low will be succeeded by Prof j. N.
q Nesbit, a graduate of the technical
dena rtment of the Pennsylvania State
College. Prof. w. H. Written, Jr.,
recently of the Chicago Manual Train
ing School, has been elected assistant
professor of mathematics. He is a
graduate and a post graduate of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The prospects for the Tech' are
brighter this year than they nave ever
been before. Capt. Hall says that the
school is fully prepared TO take care or
zoo students, and from the number or
applications received IL seems that the
school will be well filled IN all IT'S
branches.

The man on the stage who does the
trick OF escaping from firmly tied ropes,
submits to the bonds with a smile. He
knows he can get out of the ropes that
are being knotted. Put the same man in
the woods and let Indian captors bind
him to tree for torture and he would
struggle to the last against the bonds.
When the stomach is diseased there
are bonds being woven every hour about
the organs dependent on the stomach
heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. The
folly of mankind is to passively submit
to the fastening of these bonds with no
effort to escape until the pain they cause
arouses fear.

POPULAR ELECTIONS
BILL NOW DOOMED
Senate Committee Adopts the
DepeW Amendment.
is SURE TO ALLEVIATE VOTES
Final Action Deferred Until Next Meet
ing-How Strength Of Measure Is At
fected - Tiilman-McLaurin Question
Not Considered.

A deathbIow was delivered today to
the proposition for the election of Sen
ators by popular vote, by the Senate Com
mittee On Privileges and Elections. Al
ter session OF two hours the committee
adopted By party vote the amendment
offered by Mr.. Depew 20 the House reso-
luton, proposing an amendment 10 tie
Constitution On the subject OF the popular
election Of Senator'S
Mr. Depew's amendment is as follows
''The qualifications Of citizens entitled 70
vote for United States Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress shall be uni
form in all the States, and Congress shall
have power to enforce this article by ap-
prOpTiate legislation, and to provide fer
the registration OF citizens entitled 10
vote, the conduct of such elections, and
the certifcation OF the result
This proposition would -disqualify from
participation in the elections the citizens
of those States. especially in the South.
where property OF educational qualifea-
tions are required of the citizens before
they are permitted to cast their votes.
It viii, of course, meet the determined
opposition of all of the Representatives
of the States which have such provisions
IN their constitution, and means the de-
feat of the House resolution.
Action upon the main question was
postponed until next week 1t is thought
to be possible that the Republicans on the
committee will decide to report the reso-
luton fayorabIy with this amendm a1t, but
if this is done it viii be simply for the
purpose Of having it voted down in the
Senate. The Republicans are no more in
favor of the popular election idea than
they were a week ago
The committee took no action on the
TilIman- -McLauTin matter today, and viii
not do so until the popular election ques-
tion is disposed OF.

PACIFIC COAST VIEWS
ON CHINESE EXCLUSION
Many kilograms Presented
to the Senate.
WIDE DIFFERENCE OF OPINION

Consideration OF the Chinese exclusion
bill was resumed in the Senate today upon
the conclusion of routine morning busi-
ness. M Gauinger Of New Hampshire
presented and read numerous kilograms
and letters received on the subject by
the President pro TEN
The first was from certain lawyers in
San Francisco, denying statements made
before the Committee on immigration by
Mr. Dunn, chief inspector Of the Chinese
bureau at that port. Others were from
san Francisco, Seattle, New York, and
South Carolina, favoring the Platt substi-
tute, continuing the present law till 1904
When Mr.. Gallinger had concluded, Mr..
Perkins (Rep-, CALI said that he would
present the antidote to that poison; and
be thereupon proceeded TO read kilograms
presenting the opposite side Of the ques-
tion. Two others. suppIementing those
read by Mr. Perkins. were presented by
Mr. Patterson (Dem., COLI and were read
by the clerk They had reference to the
exclusion Of Chinese from employment on
ocean steamships.
At this point the Senate proceeded to
executive business, the executive session
lasting only a few minutes.
The Chinese bill was again taken up
and kilograms for and against it were
read. Mr.. Fairbanks Of Indiana gave no.
tice that he would speak on the bill To-
morrow. sir. HeitfeId CDem-, Idaho then
argued in support OF the measure
