Keeper of Public Buildings and
Drounds James A. Hall calls attention
In hi. annual report to the Inadequacy
of the Insurance carried on the atat.'s
buildings, and to tbs dilapidated con.
dltlon of the state capitol.
Under a general schedule the state
carries S810,0it Insurance on Its va
rious properties, and other specific In
surance carries the total up to about
81,000,000. The property of the state
requiring Insurance la ndw probably
worth 13.000,000.
The Insurance contracts expire on
January «, HOT, and new five-year
contracts will be necessary. Mr. Hall
atatea that If the general assembly de
sires Insurance for something like 7S
per cent of the value of state property,
a 160,000 appropriation will be neces
sary. If only 60 percent, 616,000 will
be needed.
He calls attention to the constantly
Increasing necessity for repairs to the
capitol. The executive mansion, which
Is old and defective, Is especially cost
ly to keep In habitable condlton. Mr.
Hall Intimates that a new executive
mansion Is necessary.
Among the badly needed repairs In
the-capltol building that Mr. Hall calls
attention to Is the office of th. rail
road commission especially. The plas
tering over the galleries of the senate
and legislative chambers Is In serious
condition, and the roof Is leaky.
During 1606 repairs to the executive
mansion and the capitol coat 92,809.66,
leaving a deficit of 82.791.11. At least
88,000 Is needed to remove the deflclt
outstanding. Attention la called to
heavy Increase In the coat of material
for making these repair,.

Augusta, Go., July 3.—Jim White-
head, thp 18-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. William Whitehead, escaped death
Sunday afternoon In this city In u
most miraculous manner, when a bolt
of lightning struck the* Tamily resi
dence, the young man having been
-seated on the front porch.
The incident happened about 5
o'clock In the afternoon, and at the
time the sun was shining, although
a little rain was falling, a cloud having
Just passed over. Suddenly there was
a blinding flash, and It was several
minutes before any of the occupants
of the house were In a condition to see
what Injury had been done.
The bolt had struck a chlnaberry
tree, at the corner of the piazza, and
knocked out the top. It then passed
over to the house. The celling was all
torn from the top of the verandh, all
the posts wrenched from their sockets,
'• ml <ltTH \\ tvek'-d, \\ •'i f! i > • i 1- ■■■!
torn loose and the plastering knockec
from the walls of the front room. The
planks ot tho wall against which young
Whitehead was leaning were ripped off
and thrown « great distance. The
overhead celling was also shattered, the
shirt worn by the lad was completely
torn from his body, yet not a scratch on
his arm or body cpn be seen, and he
wds struck by but one of the falling
planks.
Portions of tho celling of the piazza
were strewn 50 yards away, while one
of the supporting pillars, a post, was
driven through an adjoining fence.
The capers cut by tho lightning bolt
are the most remarkable and mysteri
ous that ever visited this section, and
are the chief topic of conversation.

CHANCELLOR RARROW
TALKS ^COMMITTEE
URGE8 APPROPRIATION FOR THE
AGRICULTURAL BUILDINQ
FOR STATE UNIVER8ITY.
The rain Monday afternoon hod a
tendency to make the state agricul
tural college grow, ae there was a full
attendance of the members of the com
mittee on general agriculture, before
whom Chancellor Dave Barrow and
several of the trustees of the State
University appeared to urge the pass
age of the bill to appropriate 8100,000
for erecting a building at the univer
sity to be devoted to tho atudy>of ag
riculture.
I often wonder," said Chancellor
Barrow In addressing the committee,
"why I was selected as chancellor of
the university. I hnvo been out of
the state 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
great American one must Anil needs
ha a great Georgian.
'Gentlemen," pointing to the per
sportive drawn by Charles W. Leavitt
of tho unlvorslty campus, experiment
-tatlon and agricultural farm, "we
have here the gram teat' opfQrtgsliy
that a Georgian can • ■ rr<■ j- to her eons.
I am narrow, but I wish to see Geor
glans own the land of our state, and
unless we embrace this opportunity
foreigners will come Into our state and
reap Its great wealth.
"We have here," said Chancellor
Barrow, “appi'oxlmately 1,000 acraa of
land In a aactlon which atanda way up
In the cotton-producing counties of
Georgia. It Is a great opportunity to
offer th, sons of this slate the greatest
advantage which may aver come with
in your power. I know a man, a grad
uate of the univeralty, who tolled as
a lawyer, failed as a clerk, and Is to
day making, with his brother, 88,000
each on their rented farm. What do
you suppose thoaa men could have
done had they reoelved an education
as farmers?
"Ml tell you,” concluded Chancellor
Barrow, “that ms God Is my judge, I
would esteem It an honor to resign
my position a* chancellor of tha uni.
vanity to become the head of this ag
Iturel college If I were capacitate
to become It, head."
Bhort addresses ware also made by
Judga E H- 'Callaway, Hsrvle Jordan,
