CAPITOL IN NEED
OF MANY
KEEPER HALL CALLS ATTENTION
TO DILAPIDATED STATE
OF AFFAIR8.
Keeper of Public Buildings and
Grounds James A. Hall calla attention
In his annual report to the Inadequacy
of the Insurance carried on the state’s
buildings, and to the dilapidated con
dition'of the state capttol.
Under a general schedule the state
carries $810,035 Insurance- on Its va
rious properties, and other specific In
surance carries tha total up tc *’ *
81,000,000. The property of th
requiring Insurance Is now probably
-worth $8,000,000.
The Insurance contracts expire on
January 8, 1807, and new five-year
contracts will be necessary. Mr. Hall
states that It the general assembly de
sires Insurance for something like 75
per cent of the value of state property,
850,000 appropriation will be neces-
ry. If only 60 per cent, $36,000 will
be needed.
He calls attention to the constantly
Increasing necessity for repairs to the
eapltol. The executive mansion, which
Is old and defective. Is especially coat
ly to keep In habitable conditon. Mr
Hall Intimate, that a new executive
man.lon Is necessary.
Among the badly ^needed repairs In
the eapltol building that Mr. Hall calla
attention to Is the ofltce of the rail
road commission especially. The plas
tering over the galleries of the senate
and legislative chambers Is In serious
condition, and the roof U leaky.
During 1*05 repairs to the executive
mansion snd the eapltol cost 82.I0M8,
leaving a deficit of 88.731.11. At least
83,000 Is needed to remove- tha deficit
outstanding. Attention Is called to
heavy Increase In the cost of material
for making these repairs.

Augusta, Ga., July 3.—Jim White-
head, the 16-year-old son of Mr. and
Mr*. William Whitehead, escaped death
Sunday afternoon In this city in a
most miraculous manner, when a holt
of lightning struck th** family resi
dence. the young man having been
neated on the front porch.
Thu incident happened about f.
•Vlo.-k III th*’ afternoon, and at the
time the sun wiih .shining, although
a little rain was falling, a cloud having
Just passed over. Suddonly there wan-
a blinding flash, and It waa several
minutes before any of the occupant*
of the house were In a condition to ueo
what injury had been done.
The bolt had struck a chlnmberry
tree, at the comer of the plosxo, and
knocked out the top. It then passed
over to the house. The celling was all
torn from tha top of th*- vrrandu, all
tho posts wrenched from their sockets,
banisters wrecked, weutlierl>.*ardliur
tom loose and the plastering knocked
from the walls of th** front room. The
planks of tho wall against which young
Whitehead was leaning were ripped off
and thrown a great distance. The
overhead celling was also shattered, the
shirt worn by the lad was completely
torn from hia body, yet not a scratch on
his arm or body can be seen, and lie
whs struck by but ono of the falling
plmka
Portions of tho celling of tho piazza
were strewn 60 yards away, while one
of tho supporting pillars, a post,
driven through an adjoining fence.
The capers cut by the lightning bolt
are tho most remarkable and mysteri
ous that ever visited this section, and
are the chief topic of conversation.

The rain Monday afternoon had a
tendency to mako the atato agricul
tural college grow, as there waa a full
attendance of the member* of the com
mittee on goneral agriculture, before
whom Chancellor Dave Barrow and
several of the trustee* of the State
University appeared to urge the pass
age of the bill to appropriate 3100,000
for erecting a building at tho univer
sity to bo devoted to the study*of ag
riculture.
"I often wonder," said Chancellor
Barrow in nddreaaing the committee,
"why I was selected ns chancellor‘of
tho university. I hnvo been out of
the atata to a large city but one time,
and that waa. to Washington, our na
tional capital. I am narrow-minded, I
fear, for I believe that to become a
great American one must first needs
be a great Georgian.
"Gentlemen,” pointing to tho per
spective drawn by Charles W. Leavitt
of the university campus, experiment
Mntlon and agricultural farm, "we
havo here the w gnateat opportunity
that a Georgian can offer to her sons,
i mu narrow, but I wish to see Geor
gians own the land of our state, and
unless we embrace thle opportunity
foreigners will come Into our state and

Barrow, "approximately 1,000 acre* of
iMi Hi A BeeUon which atrfnds way up
In the cotton-pfoduclng counties of
Georgia. It la a great opportunity to
offer the aona of this state the greatest
advantage which may aver come with
in your power. I know a man, a grad
uate of the university, who failed aa
a lawyer, failed as a clerk, and la to
day making, with hi* brother, $3,000
each on their rented farm. What do
you suppose those men could have
done had they reoalved an education
ae farmers?
"I’ll tell you," concluded Chancellor
Barrow, "that as God Is my Judge, I
would esteem It on honor to resign
my position a* chancellor of the uni
versity to become the head of this ag
ricultural college If I were capacitated
to become Its head." *
Short addressee were also made by
Judge E. H. Callaway, Hanrle Jordan,
Professor Hharkelford, and Solicitor-
General Bennett, of Waycroaa, all of
whom were enthuslosatlc In their sup
port of the bill to appropriate HOC- I
