Atlanta. Fob. 28.—Commissioner of
Agriculture Stevens said this morning
tlial the indications aro that Che oat
crop has been injured to a large extent in
this state.
'•1 am afraid,” said he, ”that the oat
crop lias been injured to such an extent
by the recent freezes of the ground that
the farmers will suffer considerably from
tile loss. If the ground had not been so
wet during the freeze, the injury would
not have amounted to anything, but after
the freeze, the ground being wet, it spew
ed up and loosened tie- roots of the oat
plant; then followed another freeze while
the root was in this condition with little
to protect it, and 1 have heard that the
crop will lie somewhat shortened by it.
We cannot tell now what will be the ex
tent of ihe injury. We have not received
full reports of it, hut as the rains were
general and Ihe freeze followed extending
to nearly every part oC the state, no sec
tion escaped.”
Gov. Candler received a letter to-day
from Mrs. Hailey of Georgetown. D. C.,
who says she is a resident of Rome, Ga..,
and having graduated in the study of law
at the Georgetown University, wishes to
be admitted to practice in Georgia, and
asks if she can be under the existing law.
Gov. Candler investigated the law on the
admission of persons to the practice of
law and found that the act governing the
same provides that the candidate must
be a male person. The Governor wrote to
Mrs. Bailey informing her that the Geor
gia statute does not allow women to prac
tice law in this state. This is probably
the first time that this question has aris-
an in an official way.
Assistant Commissioner of Education
Woodall sent to-<lay to the superintend
ents of education of the cUfferent counties
of the state the forms for the annual
statistics of the schools. The blanks,
when filled out, contain t'he details of the
school facilities and educational condi
tions of each county and this information
js embodied in the annual report of the
Commissioner of Education.
In response to the following questions,
propounded by the Journal of this city
to the Chairman of the County Democratic
Executive Committee, a great majority
that have answered so far favor the plan
"Do you favor a submission to the people
of your county of the question as to who
should be elected to the Senate by the
next Legislature?!
"Do you think that the Democratic
Committee of your county will submit this
question to the voters of the county?"
Chairman Charlton of Chatham county
says: "I do not favor the first proposi
tion. As the Senator Is to be elected by
the Legislature, and as the matter is con
fided to their judgment and their responsi
bility, under their oath, I do not think
they should be hampered in their choice
by the result of a primary. Conditions
might well change between the
time when the primary is held
and 'the time when the senator
is elected. If the Legislature is to be
bound by popular expression given months
before he Is colled upon discharge his
duty, it might well happen that he will be
in the anomalous position of voting for a
man who neither his conscience approves,
nor the Interest of the state would toler
ate. If there be any need of a change
in the recognized method it seems to me
this can be met by sending to the Leg
islature members in whom the people of
the state have entire confidence.
"As to the second question, I am un
able to answer that, as I have not dis
cussed it with any member of the com
mittee."
The Mims forces have been trying for
the past few days to get McCollough to
withdraw from the mayoralty race in
favor of their man. but the ex-Councilman
was obstinate. He was promised, if he
withdrew, the Mims votes for Alderman
from the Fifth ward. McCollough says
he refused to consider the proposition,
and that he expects to be elected Mayor.
