A ' he meeting of the Georgia State Lgricultural Society here to day he race problem came promi ently to the front as a topic of iscussion. The lion. I'ope Brown, (resident of the society, an ex rnsive and prosperous planter ol he state, asserted that the white nan and the negro are at the arting of the ways, and said the ormer should assist the latter in lis efforts to leave this country. That portion of his address on lie negro question was loudly pplauded. In this connection he ras also hold and unequivocal in eclaring that the South should top toadying to the North. Mr. Brown said in part: "It is ietween the white people of the louth and the negroes of the louth. The South haters of the iorth are at the bottom of all the rouble, and we need not flatter urselves that those South haters re few and far between. There re nlentv r?f tliom Tn ??%? n?;.i -- I V ?

C., WEDNKSDA\ 1 DREYFUS GAVE GENERAL MERRIER THE LIE TODAY. ' Famous Frenchman, Goaded to Desperation, Sprang to His Fret and Shouted the Words to His Enemy. ! Associated Press to The Times. Rennes, August 12.?The curtain rose today on the same theatrical scene as occurred on last Monday. The judges in uniform were seated on 'he stage behind the dark cloth-eovered table. Every inch of the court was occupied in expectation of something liOnualinnol There were more ladies present than on Monday. The person known as Madame Blanche (the white lady), who attended every move in the Dreyfus uil'air, was again present, wearing a superb set of pearls, but owing to the expressed objections of Colonel Jouaust she changed her conspicuous place on the right behind him for a more modest but still noticenbl??position in the body of the hall. Dreyfus on entering the court saluted the president. Colonel Jouaust returned the salute and said, 4kSit down, Dreyfus.'' The chair of the nrisoner was nlnppil ?. - ? I ? further to the right of the platform today. Instead of facing the judges Dreyfus sat with his hack to the table of his counsel, thus looking across the platform straight at the rail at which the witnesses stood. THE SESSION OPENS. Col. Jouaust immediately after the court settled down opened the proceedings by asking Dreyfus the following questions : "In January, 1895, the director of the penitentiary of the Isle of Diablo in course of his duty searched the clothes brought from the prison, lie found this document in the inside pocket of your waistcoast," and the president here handed I Dreyfus the paper, saying, "Do i you recognize it Drey Ins replied, "Yes. my .1 ona 11 <t?"-Whose was it V I )reyl'us?uMine.*' donated?"Will von tell me j how this document came into I your possession l Drevl'us?"It is n document 1 I mod during my trial to discuss the value of the bordereau : I ' wished to keep it Jouaust?"The military code rives you I ho right, to have a copy ol the documents in your 1 case.

Dreyfus?-'As a souvenir of the text of the bordereau." A STIRRING SCENE. A stirring scene closed today's session of the Dreyfus trial. (Jen. Mercier had spoken for four hours in ruthless denunciation of Drey Ins, who listened unmoved until Mercier concluded by saying, if he had not been convinced of the guilt of Dreyfus, and if the matter of conviction had not been since 1801, ho would admit he was mistaken. Dreyfus jumped to his feet and shouted in a voice like a trumpet note : "You have lied, you scoundrel !" The audience burst into wild cheers, whereupon the ushers were called for silence. '"WHY DON'T YOU, THEN?" Hut when Mercier replied that he would admit Dreyfus was innocent if there was any doubt about it, the prisoner shouted agaiu : "Why don't you, then?" At this juncture there was another outburst of applause. M. Casimir Herier then rose and dramatifallv HainonHarl *ko fronted with Gen. Mercier, in order to deny some statements. C/ol. JouHust ordered the court adjourned until Monday, for a conference, and as Mercier turned to leave the court the audience rose en masse and hissed and cursed him, those at the back of the court standing on the chairs and benches to better hound him down. Gendarmes placed themselves between the general and the audience, who showed a strong disposition to maltreat the former minister of war." ''VIVE, l.'AKMKK?" "VIVE hKKYKl S !" (len. Mercier hurried out of the | court room through side door amid fierce denunciation. < >n j emerging into the street the crowd cheered and cried: ''Vive, ParI tnee !" "Vive, Dreyfus !" cried ' the spectators of the scene in the [court, "if they had heard the in | human monster when he spoke they would not now cheer him." | Kodrl Dyspepsia ("lire thoroughly i digests food without aid from tlie stomaeh, and at the same time heals and restores the diseased digestive [organs.

Opinions of Cotton Farmers and (tinners After a Season's Experience. The attitude of cottou ginners and farmers towards the Roundlap cotton bale of the American Cotton Company, after a seasou's test of the machine, is illustrated by a letter received recently by the editor to the Manufacturers' Record, Baltimore, as-follows : Editor Manufacturers* Record : Some time ago you requested us to give you our opiuion of the American Cotton Co.'o cylindrical press. At that time we were unable to give our viewe correctly, owing to the short time we had operated the press. Now that the ginning season has closed, we can unquestionably say that the press is a success in every particular, not only from a ginuer's standpoint, but as practical farmers. The results from sale of our cotton have been eminently satisfactory and much beyond what we hfad anticipated. The advantages to planter and operator are so many that it would take up too much space to enumerate them. It is sufficient to say that no one who has baled their cotton on this press v. ould now or hereafter patronize any other. And why should they? Their ginning charges are less than the square-press people charge, and they receive from one-quarter to one-half cent per pound more than they could get in the square bale. There is no question about the round bale being here to stay, and we would advise the ginmen, especially those who are near a railroad, to i get in the swim at once and exemplify the old adage of the early bird getting the worm. They will not only benefit themselves, but their friends, the farmers, will get the cream that the middlemen, the commission merchants, have boon enjoying and getting rich upon. In conclusion, to condense t.ho advantages, will un v fhaf f lin Kilo io J v>?(?v ? uwiw in Iiinpil/Ulf j waterproof, dustproof, anil proof | that it i? a labor-saving and ! money-making bale to the farmer.
