nd spectacular features with which thi
great exposition abounds
Many Interesting Diversions.

The scenes Of the Warpath during the
afternoons and evenings are enlivening and
enchanting in the extreme, and all nation
alities jostle each other In good-natured
carnival spirit, while the familiar, yet ever
strange, music lends a foreign aspect to
the surroundings. Looping-the-loop, shoot
ing-the-chutes, slides for life, aerial stunts
by wire artists double somersaulting in
automobiles from high towers acrobatic
performances and the like, are among the
free open-air attractions of the great fairy
land. while within the Enclosures there are
presented some of the best productions of
the kind ever seen.
But the Warpath is not all There are
balloons in the aeronautic concourse in
which the visitor may soar among the
clouds and take in the most magnificent
view of half a hundred nesting cities
broad rivers, widening and deepening into
roads and harbors, the great bay Of the
Chesapeake and the long line of white
foam, betokening the restless tide of the
old ocean. Descending, the visitor may
gaze in admiration and wonder at the
myrlads of vessels of every kind, which ply
hlther and th!ther, out and In among the
batteships at anchor in Hampton roads
Then there are the military parades and
drills of thousands of solulers from the
National Guard of the several states and
the infantry, artillery and cavalry branches,
to be seen daily on Lees parade music by
the Imperial Band of the City of Mexico,
military and other bands; recitals and con-
certs by famous musicians, airship fiigI4.s,
fireworks, Indian paradesS grand illumina-
ton of buildings, fountains grounds and
ships of the harbor and Of the cities which
scene of splendor such as can never be
forgotten.

Der of men in companies and regiments,
for 1t Is a fact that in many states So
called regiments of militia, instead of be-
Ing 100 strong, as they should be to meet
modern service demands, number scarcely
more than a battalion of 300 men, and
skeleton companies are everywhere in evil
dence.
The government rife club movement Is
said to be rapidly increasing. Since the LIST
of July new clubs have been organized in
Spokane and North Yakima, Wash; Wyan-
dotte, Mich: Portland, Col, and Cypress
Hills, N. Y. The national aspect Of this
movement Is noticeable. as. for instance,
the extremes of the country represented
by the few new clubs-the east, the middle
west and the far west. This interest is not
only confined to government rifle clubs, but
military organizations are also rapidly
joining. Within the last week applications
have been received from the Sd Infantry of
Minnesota, located at st. Paul, Mimi, the
Sd Infantry of Michigan, located at Owosso,
and the I'd Infantry Of Georgia, located at
Macon.
Rifiemen are kept busy these days, as
competitions are under way in all sections
Of the country. The National Guard of the
New England states held their competitions
at Wakefield, Mass. recently and the New
York State Rife Association matches at
Creedmoor followed those at Camp Perry,
Ohio.

Acting Secretary of War Oliver has called
under the terms Of the militia law Uhe
Dick bilD. the militia organization of the
states and the District Of Columbia must
conform to that Of the regular and volun-
teer armies of the United States.
Failure to meet this statutory require

the use Of of the allotment of the annual
appropriation Of S0OOOO for the support

ton of the act imposes the condition that
the number of it's regularly enlisted. or
ganized and uniformed active militia shall

With view to placing upon the statute
books of the state an organic military law
providing the necessary measure OF con-
formity to the organization now In force In
the regular army, or which hereafter may
become effective therein, Gen. Oliver sug-

enactment by the legislatures In brief as
follows:

quartermaster general and his assistants,

to make the companies and numbers of
officers assigned to organizations corre-
spond to the regular army.

THE PRESIDENT AT VICKS-
BURG.

From the general tone of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's speech at Vicks-
burg yesterday it is easy to be seen
that he is overwhelmingly impress
ed with the gratness of Mlssissip-
pi and of her sister southern states
and especially with that of the peo-
pie who dwell in the rich and
wonderful region of the lower Mis-
sissippi valley" He not only has
enjoyed his camping out i'll the
Louisiana swamps, but he is con-
scious Of the fact, and acknowl-
edges it. that he has prohted by
his unrestrained n1ingling with the
people of this southern section of
the country.
He admits that OH each of the
two occasions of his bear hunting
expeditions down in these quarters
he has learned much that has had
nothing 10 do with bear hunting.
1t is a good thing" says he, for
All American president to travel
over the country, not for what he
can teach, but for he can learn;
and it seems to me that no rAmeri-
can president could sphnd his time
better than by seeing for himself
just what the rich and wonderful
region of the lower Mississippi
valley is
The president declares himself
strongly for the Mississippi river.
He is for the big river first and the
smaller ones next. He goes back
to Washington with the set pur-
pose of doing everything in his
power to see that the federal gov
ernment does its full share in max
ing the great river practically a
part of the seacoast.
After discussing river improve
ment in some of its details, the
president passes from the consid-
eration of material things to the
duties of the man end citizen to
himself, his family, and to his coun-
try in the common everyday affairs
OF life, uttering sentiments on the
matter of civic duties similar to
those that have characterized his
other speeches. Meridian Dis

WIRELESS PHONES.

Human ingenuity is making still
further strides, and just as we are
becoming accustomed to the idea
of wireless telegraphy the wireless
telephone begins to reach a stage
of commercial utility. A few
months ago experiments were made
III Europe with a system of wire
less telephone which promised
much. inst what has become of
that particular plan it is impossible
to say5 Perhaps the inventor is
going ahead Independently and in
a short time may come forth with
a practical plan which will have
a commercial value. But in the
meantime Pittsburg invensor, by
the name af Frederic Collins, who
is we'll known in scientific circles,
claims to have invented a system
of wireless felegraphy which works
admirably at a distance of fifteen
miles, and he is confident of per-
fecting it before long to snch All
extent that he will be able to em-
ploy it over a distance of a hun.
dred miles. He has succeed in
inducing a number of hard-headed
business men of Pittsburg to look
with favor on his plan and as con-
sequence one half of the capital
stock of the Collins Wireless Tele-
phone Company amounting to a
cool million dellars, has been sub
scsibed i'll Pittsburg, Atlanta

AN INDEPENDENT CANDI.
DATE.

We very much regret the action
of some of the citizens of East Side
in placing an independent candi-
date in the field against the regular
nominee of the Democratic party,
the Hon. w. H. Fitzgerald, for
Representative. We believe that
the safety of the South depends
upon the harmony of the white
people-and that after a man re-
ceives the nomination for any office
by the Democrats, that he should
be elected without opposition with
out he be opposed by candidate
of another party. Regardless of the
views of different candidates on a
division of the county, and without
expressing onr opinion as to the
wisdom or expediency of such a
division, THE DEMOCRAT will sup
port ALL the Democratic nominees,
Mr.. Fitzgerald as we'll as Messrs.
Burrus and Smith.
Z The Democrats of the whole
county, in regular primary election,
nominated these candidates and
by their participation in the pri-
mary pledged their support to the
nominees in the general election to
be held in November. Safety lies
in keeping this pledge, and it is
ouly fair and just that all who par
ticipated in the primaries support
the nominees. We believe that on
sober second thought this will be
done. and that Mr.. Fitzgerald will
be elected.
