THE FARMERS FAIR.

October OugnG 10 Ue MAUI q Slo"' oNS
cess. 1t is not so much to help Macon
as for the benefit of the farmers OF the
state. 1t is in reality their fair, for
the exhibits, or the majority OF them,
will be theirs, and the premiums offer
ed are for them.
The state fair in Macon year ago
was the best that had been held IN
Georgia in many years, and the lndl-
cations are that the one this fall will
be still better. It will be made up OF
exhibits and excellent attractions, and
a big attendance is looked for.
THE Savannah Press wants to know
"if Bishop Potter is to be invited TO
Dawson to open the dispensary with
an address" Terrell county opened an
institution that has proved to be the
best solution of the whiskey question
number of years ago, and so well
pleased are the people with the condl-
tions that now exist that the bishops
assistance in improving them is not
needed. The New York churchman
NAV remain at home and devote all OF
his time to his "doxology saloon, IN
which he claims to have found settle
ment of the ancient and ever'present
problem.
NOBODY will seriously blame the tin
soldiers who were on duty at States
boro for not shooting into the crowo
that burned the two tiends, and it is not
necessary for them to try to shift the
responsibility of the lynching upon the
officers of Bulloch county. NeVerthe-
less, their inefficiency stands out bold
ly, and they present a military farce
of the frsC magnitude.
THE next session Of the state agrl-
cultural society will be held at Albany
down here in Gods country, where
farming is conducted on scientific
principles and the farmer is the most
prosperous and independent citizen.
The agriculturalists will be among
and will be welcomed by sure enough
farmers.
THE action of the legislature IN
creasing the salaries OF the Judges
81, 900 and forbidding them TO accept
or use free passes on the railroads
under penalty of Impeachment mas
met with general approval. There has
long been strong sentiment IN the
state that judges should pay II they
ride.
Tom WATSON's Georgia friends ana
admirers are disappointed at his &C.
ceptance of tho populist nomination Tor
president. The coming election Is
one for the south, and 1t
was hoped that there would be united
action by all of the anti, Roosevelt
forces. Mr.. Watson has made mis-
take.
DEMOCRATIC visitors to Esopus leave
with highly hattering impressions OF
Judge Parker's political genius and
tact. They say the democratic candl-
dldate has all the requisites for sue
;essfui leadership, and will demon
strate his ability in that line as the
progresses.
The democratic managers are not up
Auu doing as some think they should
be. The Macon Telegraph speaks OF
it as "a campaign which seems to be
late and tagging" That should not
be. Chairman TAggart and his helpers
should get busy quick-very busy.
GRANDPA DAVIS has been notified
of his nomination by the democratic
PARTY for vice.president. Colonel
Perry Cooke of Dawson went up TO
West Virginia last week to assist other
members of the committee in breaking
the news to him.
THE Fit. Valley Leader says eight or
ten blind tigers were rounded up in
that good prohibition town last week.
They were caught with the goods on
them, too.
THOSE Bulloch county people should
not have been so discourteOus to the
"mellsh."
A Summer Cold.
A summer cold is not only annoying
but if not relieved pneumonia will be
the probable result by fall. One
Minute Cough Cure clears the phlegm,
draws out the inflammation, heals,
