Negroes Win Prizes. Rich Rewards Won by Them at State Fair io Atlanta. fBartow county took the first pre? mium for the best county display in the negro building, and the managers of the exhibit are richer today by a cool $1,000 for the excellent manner in which they have shown the pro / ducts of the Barlow soil as extracted by members of the negro race. The Bartow display in the negro building is exceedingly interesting every product of the county is rep resented in a most attractive manner, and the judges had little trouble in awarding the first premium. Pulaski county negroes took the second premuim, which is $500 in cash. The display of Pulaski is attractive and reflects much credit on the negroes who instituted the dis? play. One of the features of the display is the collection of the horse collars, baskets and foot mats made in HawkinsviUs from the fibrous grasses and bark. The third premium of $300 goes to the negroes of Floyd county. j Professor Peyton Allen, who is in charge of the negro building, says the exhibitors are the happiest mem? bers of his race in the State. They are all jubilant at the success of the negro department, and every one is j anxious to begin preparations for the next fair. They are loud in their praise of the work of the judges, Messrs. James Barrett, H G. Evans j and Mr Se wart, of Randolph. The negroes have good reason to be proud of the work they have j accomplished at the State fair. Not j only have they made a success of the department assigned to them, but they have created a deeper interest in farming and manufacturing indus? tries for the members of the race There has never before been an exposition of the negroes' work such as that displayed at the State fair. The members of the negro depart ment held a meeting last night and adopted resolutions of thanks to the Georgia agricultural society for the opportunity offered them to make the exhibit of their work The resolu? tions were adopted in a spirit of the greatest enthusiasm and will be pre? sented to the society at the next meeting -Atlanta Journal. Common Boer Expressions. Possibly the best quoted word just now of Sutch South African origin is TJitlander, sometimes written "Out lander." "Newcomer" or "outsider." is perhaps the nearest that can be got to this io translation and the word is pronounced as nearly as possible like eightlander. The name of the president of the Transvaal Republic ia written Kruger (more properly Krugher), but it is neither sounded as Kroojer nor Krowger, bul-as near as can be indicated-Kree er. The word Transvaal is, literally, "across the yellow" (or yeliowish brownj river Rand, short for Witwatersand, is pronounced as if spelt rant The word veld-the final Vt" is sometimes added-means field or common, .and is pronounced "felt" Kopje-a hillock, or piece of rising ground-is neither kop jay nor kop jee. but koppy Dr Leyd's patrony mic is pronounced Lides The Boer parliament house is cailed the Raad zaal, and the parliament the Yolk raad, the "v" being sounded like "f " Berg is mountain, the piural being formed by the addition of "en'.' after the *'g A drift ts a ford, and a drop a town, or village Thus we have Krugers.drop, etc I Stad also means t<>Tu ; and winkie -pronounced vinkie-a store, where aimost everything* So;^ Fontein, as the nome implies, means spring, and kratz, a cliff <>r precipice Bosehveld (pronounced bushfeit) is an open plain covered with bush To trek is to travel : v:>ortrekkers meaning pioneers A y let (flag) is a pool of water. mt>c??iy formed ;n the rainy season .Rooinek h the term of contempt ap p?ieJ to Britisher, and means "red neck'' ; it is not infrequently per fix? ed by the adjective ' verdomde" (ferdomdy) Rooibaaijes in Cape Dutch iot 1 Tommy Adkins," or red coats A stoep, (pronounced etoop) is a raised platform in front of a house .-something like a veranda-on which the Boer loves to take his weed.

Louisville, Nov. 8.-No matter what result the faoe of the returos of ypfcter day's State election shows, a contest is very likely to ooour. Additiona returns received today and tonight oontioue to show Republicans gaios, and, basing an estimate upon the cor? onal complexion of the precints still unreported, indicate a plurality of 6,800 or 8,000 for Taylor for governor. The belated returns are mostly from mountain counties,^which are strongly Republican. The hill district, which io 1896 gave McKinley a plurality of 19,000, is only about half represented. Eleven out of 19 counties ia this dis? trict give Taylor pluralities aggregating 12,060, indicating that the Republicans have carried the district by about the same plurality as in 1896 The Goebel people cling to their claim of a plurality of 5,000 io the State, these figures beiog the estimate made by the uomir.ee. At the Republican headquarters in this city Taylor's plurality is placed at 8,000. In neither case is it possible, to get the figures upon which the cli.ms are based, each sids evidently fearing that giving publicity to the reports of its agents throughout the State might work to the advantage of its opponent in thc event of a contest. REPUBLICAN BOODLE CARRIES OHIO Columbus; 0-, Nov. 8 -The 6tatis ticians at the Republican headquar ters have been busy all day and night endeavoring to eecure some accurate figures on the plurality of Judge Nash, the Republican candidate for governor and tonight an unofficial table of pluralities by counties was completed. This shows that in 57 counties Nash, republican, has 84,399 over McLen, Demo? crat, and in 31 counties McLean 34.035 over Nash This giveR Nash over McLean in the State 40,364. It is not believed the official returns will make any impor ant changes in these figures. Germany and the United States Gather Them in Berlin, Nov. 8-It was officially announced this morning that an agreemsot, subject to the approval of the United States, had been arrived at between Great Britain and Ger? many by virtue of which the Samoan act is repealed and the islands of Upolu, Savaii and the smaller adja? cent islands fall to Germany as free property, and the island of Tutuila and the subsidiary islands go to the United States Germany, it is added, renounces any claim to the Tonga islands and to Savage island in favor of Great Britain and also Choiseul and San Isabel, the two easterly islands of the Solomon group, with their insular surrounds, to Great Britain The consular repre? sentatives of the two powers in Samoa and Tonga islands are to be withdrawn for the present, and Ger man subjects are to have the same rights as British subjects in regard to the free and unimpeded enlistment of native laborers in the whole of the Solomon group in the possession of Great Britain, including Choiseul and San Isabel A rumor having gone abroad over the country that Mrs. Stonewall Jack? son, widow of the distinguished Cvn federate general, is absolutely penniless, j io want and hopelessly ill and bliud, i Mrs Jackson has said ?o a representa ti ve of tbe Associated Press that these j statements are very much rxaggerared.

Nov. 9.-Admiral Watson has cabled the navy depart? ment the foilcwiog account of the part played by the navy in the laodiog made yesterday by Gen. Wheaton oo Liogayen Guif. in pursuit of the plan to surround Aguinaldo's forces : Manila, Nov. 9. Tuesday afternoon Knox, wtth th3 PriDcetoo, Bennington, Helena,Manila, Callao aod Samar bombarded intrench? ed beach at San Fabian, Lingayen. Landed Wheaton's command.

The last line ia supposed to state the name of thc mau specially comm?t.ded and the boats to which they are attach? ed AGUINALDO REFUGE Washiogtoo, Nov. 9 -The war department defini:ely located Aguinal? do today as on his way to the towo of Boambaog, about 75 miles northeast of Tarlao. The recent calculations bave been that the insurgent leader was at the iowa of Bayaobaog, not far from Tarlac, in which case thc several forces under Geoerals McArthur, Lawton, YouDg aod Wheaton would have had him practically surrounded. There has been some doubt, however, as tc the name Bayambang, and today this was cleared up by definite information fixing Boambaog, iostead of Bayambaog, as the place of Aguinaldo's refuge. A dispatch from Gen. Otis meotioned Boambaog, aod at thc same time reliable information came through diplomatic channels that Lieut. Gilaoore and the other American prisoners were at Boambaog in the. mountains far to the northeast of Tarlac It is expected that the insurgent capital will now be shifted to Boambaog, and tho officers of the American military forces will be directed toward that point. It is in the mountainous country of the north and apparently ouc of the fertile and pepuious regions where Aguinaldo has thus far conducted bis operations. It is said to 02 accessible from the south by only one route along a river, which is a branch of the Rio Grande. This leaves the rebel leader with little or no opportunity of com mooicatiog wiih tho coast or getting io supplies. He aiso has left the railroad behind. It i* ?aid at the war department that the coiumns of Gen. Young and Gen. Wheaton will now push on co thc north, following up the iosurgeot leader and his scattered band*. Spectacular Affair in Which Navy Took Leading Part. Manila, Nov. 10, 5 55 p m.-The landing of the American troops at San Fabian Tuesday was the most spectacular affair of the kind since Gen Shaffer's disembarkation at Dai? quiri. The cooperation of the troops and the navy waa complete The gunboats maintained a terrific bom bardment for an hour, while the troops rushed waist deep through the surf, under a heavy but badly aimed rifle fire from the insurgent trenches and charged right and left, pouring volley after volley at the fleeing rebels. Forty Filipinos were cap tured, mostly non commissioned ofii cere Several insurgent dead and five wounded were found in a build ing which had suffered considerably from the bombardment. The town was well fortified The sand dunes were riveted with bamboo li0 feet thick which afforded a line cover. When the transports arrived in the gulf tiiey found the gunboats, Prince? ton, Bennington ami others waiting Alter consultation whh Gen. Wheat? on, Commander Knox of tho Prince ton and Commander Sheridan ol the Bennington, anchored two rhiles ofl shore The gunboats formed a iine inside the Helena, Callao and Mauiia close in line. With the first gun of the bombard ment the small boats were raj without confusion by Maj Cror. battalion of the Twenty third infi and Capt Buck's battalion o j Thirteenth infantry While the I of boats moved shoreward the boats poured the full force of l batteries into the trenches, forcing the insurgents to flee ton the burrows dug back of the trenc About 200 men held their pl until the keels of the boats gr on the shore when their Ma bullets commenced to sing overh The battalions formed in ? order. Capt Buck with Pierce's Patton's companies, pursued the surgent8 on t?e left, into the ban tickets On the right a frail bridge across the river leading to towns. Gen Wheaton, persor commanding, ordered a charge ac the bridge, and Capt Howland, o staff, led Coleman's and Elliott's c pany of the Twenty-third, who haved splendidly under their fire, into the town which was fo to be nearly deserted, except by aged and -some Spaniards who bidden in the buffalo wallows and who came shouting delight? toward the Americans Two companies of the Twenty t had a skirmish along the Dagupan i with the retreating Filipinos. Tbe troops camped io the rain dat the night and in the morning G Wheaton established his headquar in a church, quartered bis men in houses aod sent the captured Filip beyood the outposts, with orders to return. The inhabitants describe all the rc as practically impassable and say t believe Aguinaldo bas secreted a ya in the River Lonpago. near Subig, use in his Sight when be finds capture is inevitable Wedoesday was devoted to rec noissances.

Mars Twenty-third went toward Magdeleo the Dagupan road and bad seve sharp fights with small parties. Tt killed eight meo, brought io 20 pi oners and had five men wounded.
