The penalty under the statute is a fine not exceeding three times the value of the timber cut and imprisonment not exceeding twelve months.

We can't promise him the county on election day, but we will toe glad to hear him speak. Atlanta Journal: The state democratic committee did not "order" a senatorial primary for June 6.

If he should decide to do so, our people can rest assured that they will be most delightfully entertained. Early county News: We hear of several free sliver democrats In this section who say they will quit the party rather than support round money. Gentlemen, if you have made up your minds not to abide the anion of the democratic party you should go out of 14 now. Ilcome populists at haven't got far to for decency's sake, don't go in a nomination, get licked, and then bolt. Thomasville Times-Knterprtse: The threat made in some quarters that the Oliver men will force the unit rule on the delegates to Chicago, will hardly be carried out.

Georgia never has, and we hope she never will, deprive her district delegates of representing their constituents on the floor of a national convention. Let us preserve some of the old landmarks of the party at least Fort Gaines Sentinel: We understand that the populists will put out a full ticket and make an unusual effort to elect it. Unless there is more than one democratic candidate for the same office and a division of party strength Is threatened, it Is probable that the democrats will make no nominations. With one os two exceptions the present county officers will all be candidates for re-election, and it is not likely that they will have any position from the democratic ranks. Augusta Herald: Judge Lawson having decided that If the national convention adopted a free coinage platform he would not be a candidate fur renomination, some of the counties in this district have taken advantage of the fact to attempt to shut him out of the race by calling that congressional convention on that rare day in June.

Judge Lawson says that he will simply disregard this pitiful little bunco game, but thus we see how the silver conspirators are breeding dissension in the ranks and undermining the fabric of democracy for their own selfish ends.

He has found that the rescue grass flourishes to perfection on his plantation, having planted It successfully on the same land for three years, and the present crop being as good as the others without fertilizing. This Is a beautiful grass about two feet high, and Is seeding at present. It can be cut green, and fed in that form, or cured into hay. The hay Is as fine as timothy, and the land would yield from two tons and upward per acre Mr. Van Duzer has also tried crimson clover, and with some success, although his superintendent.

Mr. McCaughrey says that the land must be fertilized annually to make crimson clover a profitable crop The rescue grass seems to he an ideal grass for this section, and It would pay the farmers generally to give It raoro attention.

Every nttslness Interest In the State Represented l'olttirn Eschewed and the Meeting Harmonious and Delegates Present and an Organization Effected. Spartanburg. S.

April Carolina has taken hold of the Chicago Cotton States exposition with a firm grip. She proposes to have the best exhibit at Chicago, as Chairman Clavert said, from the state In the There is a determined and vigorous life In the movement to have South Carolina properly represented at Chicago. The state has of recent years had a most remarkable industrial growth and wants the great west to become more thoroughly acquainted with its resources and industrial progress. Carolina was among the first to accept the invitation to be represented at Chicago. A delegation went to Chicago to consult the central committee and the convention here to-night was the result of that conference.

It was the substantial and popular acceptance of the proposition. There came an invitation from the business Interests to hold the first convention in Spartanburg, the center of the cotton manufacturing Industry of the south. Spartanburg, with 400,768 cotton spindles, thought It had a right to hold the first convention In the interests of a southern cotton state exposition and it has proven to be a great success Cos mm Is stoner Roche took the matter In hand, and. with She co-operation of tbe railroads and the people of Columbia, held the moat representative business gathering witnessed in the state. Every business interest met here to 00-operate In seeing that the state was thoroughly represented at Chicago.

Farmers and mill proprietors and hankers and editors and merchants came from ail over the state to consult and get the elbow touch. Fortunately, tor once politics was eschewed and a business meeting of business mem was held. The preliminary work was harmonious and enthusiastic. The Idea was to avoid a cut and dried programme, and with that view no financial plan was mapin-d out in advance, but it was thought best -to get a popular expression of oplnon, and so a committee was selected, with J. C.

Hemphill, editor of the Charleston News and Courier, who has been a prime mover in the matter, as chairman, to formulate a plan for providing funds. To-uay was devoted to organization and hearing speeches. There were about 150 delegates present, representing every county in the state. Among the prominent delegates were Editor mphiil of the News and Courier, who has been a business leader in the movement; President Moore of the state fair; Bank President Lockwood of Beaufort Mayor Sloan of Columbia; President Whaler of the Richland Cotton mills; Editor Gonzales of the Columbia State, Bank President George B. Edwards of Charleston, Gen.

James of Darlington, Jeff. Richardson of the Greenville News, Bank President A. Levi of Manning, Solicitor Schumpert, John R. London, cotton mill president; State Senator Moses, Editors Boggs and Robinson of Pickens. President Aull of the State Press Association, Railroad Commissioners Evans and Welborn, Traffic Manager Glover of tho Seaboard Air Line, Receiver Averill of the Port Royal and Western Carolina, President Gadsden of the Northeastern, Maj.

Boyle of the South Carolina and Georgia, President Flniayson of the Cheraw mills, George B. Edwards, president of the Chester Electric Power Company; President Courtenay of the Courtenay mills; President Duncan of the Union mills. President Burgtsz of Greers' mills; President Converse of the Clifton and Converse mills, President Montgomery of the Pacolet and Spartan mills, and the Port Royal and Western Carolina railroad; President Fewell.of the Arcade mills at Rock Hill; T. W. Lauderdale of the Winnesboro oobtun mills.

Editor Hoyt of Greenville, and Editor Garlington of Spartanburg Herald. The meeting, which was held in the opera house, was called to order by Commissioner Roche, who proposed Mavor Calvert as temporary chairman. Mr. Calvert welcomed the delegates and wanted to see South Carolina have the best exhibit from the best state In the south at Chicago. President Aull of the State Press Association and August Kohn of the News and Courier staff were elected secretaries.

On motion of Senator Moses the temporary organization was made permanent. Mayor Calvert then introduced Gov. Evans to the audience of delegates. He was well received and spoke at some length. Gov.

Evans said he was here for work and not talk. He said he had some experience with expositions. (Laughter.) The legislature gave him some trouble about the Atlanta money. There is, however, he remarked, a tide in state which if taken at its floods leads on to success, and he was satisfied that the flood was now here. The south has the resources and advantages and is rapidly going to the front.

The great advantages have been party recognized. There was no need to recount the development of the south in the last few years, but he believed that the time has come when parties will be organized according to geographic lines and not so much on principles. The south and west must and will unite for mutual protection. In the last ten years the south has gone rapidly forward in manufactures. In 1890 there were only 350,00 spindles running in South Carolina, while now there are In the state over 1,000,000 spindles.

South Carolina must advertise herself and blow her horn. There is no need for narrow-mindedness in hiding from the world the advantages of the state. There should be no such effort. He believed the people of the Piedmont were willing to help advertise the state. All that is asked is to furnish the exhibit.

Chicago will supply the buildings. The state thought Itself unable to provide funds for the exhibit. The thing to do it to organize and furnish the funds for a proper exhibit. It can be done. The south must advertise her resources and products, and this is her opportunity.

We met with some success in the appeals for the Atlanta exposition, but very little was raised outside of Charleston. There Is no reason to have such indifference again, and he did not believe that such was tho spirit of this convention. He hoped for and expected success. He then introduced Hon. Patrick Walsh of Augusta, the father of the Chicago exposition movement, and praised his work for the south.

Mr. Walsh was received with applause. He said he was full of hope and confidence for the south of to-day; he felt that it was in the hands of the mep of to-day to make this south and this people greater than in any era of the past. He said he had addressed similar conventions in Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, and this was the largest convention to promote the exposition yet held In the south. This exhibits a spirit of enterprise and improvement.

Most commendable strides have been made in industrial in recent years. Chicago fully recognizes that the south is on the march toward a greater industrial position and wants closer relations with the southland. Then he reviewed the liberal proposition made by Chicago and explained that all that was needed was to prepare the exhibit. Mr. Walsh made a long speech on the industrial possibilities of the south Maj.

J. C. Hemphill then offered the following resolutions which were adopted after some debate: Resolved, that a committee consisting of f(A MD 00DS one delegate from each of the congressional districts In the state be appointed by the chairman to prepare a plan for the organization of an exhibit of the resources of this state at the exposition at Chicago, and for raising the necessary amount of money to cover the expenses of such state exhibit. That this committee be instructed to make Its report to this convention at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. On this committee were appointed J.

April R. T. Nesbitt, commissioner of agriculture, and president of the Southern States Exposition Company, which was organized here a week ago for the purpose of getting up an exhibit for the resources of Georgia to be shown at the Chicago Southern exposition, to-day issued his address to the publio, calling upon all public spirited citizens to assist In the work. Chicago President Nesbitt says in his address, advertise the south far more extensively and effectively than has ever been done by any other means. Every class in every southern state has a direct interest in that, for it will tend to create a great Influx of population and capital.

It will build cities, factories, railroads. It will give work and wages to thousands who are now idle. It will double the value of farm lands and Increase the value of their products. It will give value to now useless forests, utilize mountains of coal and iron, expand every branch of trade, increase railroad traffic enormously and make bankrupt railroads valuable. "Georgia is one of the richest and most populous of the southern states, and it should not be excelled by any of its sister states in the extent and completeness of its display at Chicago.

The adjoining states are entering upon the work of preparation with much enthusiasm and will make magnificent displays of their resources. Georgia should not be second to STABBED HIS TEACHER. Bears In the Okeeflnokee Swamp Killing Many Cattle. Valdosta, April unruly youth named Willie Davis, who lives in the Clyattevllle district, stabbed Prof. A.

W. Strozler, the teacher at the school there, on yesterday and inflicted two very serious wounds. From the report brought here, it is learned that the lad was shooting grains of corn across the school room when the professor ordered him to desist. The lad retorted with a sharp reply and the teacher threatened to chastize him for his Impudence. The boy accepted the challenge with another smart rejoinder, when the professor sent out for a switch and began to use it upon the youngster.

He struck the boy once, when the youth opened his knife and made for the teacher. Prof. Strozler was cut in the breast and back, both wounds being very painful, but neither of them regarded as dangerous. The professor was brought to the city where his wounds were dressed and where he remains under a physicians care. He will probably be able to resume Ms duties In a few days.

The lad who did the cutting is said to be only 14 or 15 years old. Reports from the Okeeflnokee swamp say that the bears are killing more large cattle than was ever known before. The general belief that the bears had been thinned out there by hunters is said to be untrue. On the contrary, it is claimed that there are more bears there now than have ever been seen there before and they are larger size. It is said that they are increasing in number a great deal faster than they are being killed.

THE HARRIS 7 WILL CASE. Belief Thnt Sound Money is Gaining Ground in Georgia. Athens, April trial of the Harris will case, Involving $105,000, will come off on April 28. Both sides will announce ready then. This case will attract great interest.

Judge Harris, whose last will is to be attacked by his relatives, was for thirty years president of the Southern Mutual Insurance Company, and one of the most prominent Methodists in the south. One of the grounds of contest will be that he had a mania for giving awav his money to religious and educational institutions. Asa matter of fact, he gave the money that went to the building of the first Protestant church In China. He also established Young Harris Institute in Towns county, where over 400 mountain children get their education every year.

We Will Listen to your tale of woe in a very short while if you do not stop letting a little nickel plating and some red or blue enamel influence you in the purchase of a wheel. Everybody with a.nv sense knows that paint, priee or name plate does not make a wheel, and yet so many people are influenced is different when the paint and the name plate have something to back it up, like The Kemington Bicycle. The makers of same have a reputation for over eighty years that they cannot afford to lose, and they are not going to lose it either, for they are turning out a wheel that we are positive is 25 per cent, better and stronger than any wheel made.

Our One Hundred Dollar offer was not taken up by any one, as they well knew that their money would be gone where it would do a lot of good. The superiority of Remington Bicycles is being demonstrated each day more and more by the numbers that want to trade their wheels for a Remington. We have Hartfords, Spaldings, Sterlings, Ramblers, Crawfords, all which have found out the superiority of the Remingtons. The Lady Remington will be in some time soon. No lady should think of buying a wheel till she sees this superb wheel.

You make a mistake in buying a Tribune Bicvcle, as it is the finest running wheel that you will ever sit upon. It is especially a gem, for you know you want a wheel that you can ride a long ways and not tire. That wheel is the Tribune, on which it can be done. Come and see them and try them, and you will be delighted. forget our Famous Crawford if you pay SIOO for a wheel.

It is the best wheel made in this country for the money. forget the great Banner Lamp when you want a Light Giver. We have a full supply of Skirt Holders in, also anything else in the sundry line. Our Teaching Department is in full swing in our hall, as it is gettingtoo hot out in the extension. Our price remains the same, $5, which is deducted from price of wheel when purchased.

When we say we teach you, we do it, mounting and dismounting included. Lindsay Morgan. IF YOU WANT GOOD MATERIAL AND WORK ORDER YOUR GRAPHED AND PRINTED STATIONERY AND BLANK BOOKS FROM THE MORNING NEWS. SAVANNAH. GA.
