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.

' 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.

I hnvo been out of the state to a large city but one time, and that waa to Washington, our na tional capital.
