Brie! Summary of Interesting
Happenings h ulled at Random.

The net increase in the taxable prop¬
erty o( Georgia is ju t 857,475,818
These figures are made public by Com-
troller Wright, who has just completed
Jjjg annual report.
The increase in genoial property is
$15,‘227,33(5 and iu railroad property
$2,327,3*6.
This meiease iu taxable values based
on the present rate of 5 2-10 mills
would bring into the state treasury an
additional sum o! $00,873, which, but
for the constitutional amendment
recently adopted pensioning indigent
widows, would result iu lowering
the tax rate.
There seems to be a wide difference
sf o| union ns to just how nine i money
will be needed to pay the widows’ pen¬
sions. Commissioner Lindssv seems
to think it may amount to $250,000 or
! 3 )0,000, while other state officials do
not believe it will ho ovor $50,000 for
tiio first your or two.
On this depends whether or not the
tax rate nn bo le vered, but it is
known that every effort will be made
to do so.
The total value of general property
returned 'or taxation in the state is
$388,154,413, and of railroad prop
erty $46,181,721, but this does not
molude the Southwestern, Georgia,
Western aud Atlantic and those roads
which pay a lax on thoir income.
These would add another $18,000,000
to the value of railroad property.
The state treasurer’s report for the
fiscal year past ending shows receipts
,,f $3,542,00.1,69 and disbursements of
$3,514,647.11. The state had a sur-
plus in the treasury a year ago of
$438,723.72. Tt.ar, surplus is now
$416,146.30, but it will bo increased
by about $200,000 when the next pay-
ment from the salo of the Northwestern
railroad is icct-ived.
Treasurer l-|, or •llred oil XAttl.
Treasurer Speer, who has been in
barge of the finaui of the state for
the past four venrs, will retire ou Oe-
tob( 24tb, and will be succeeded by
Treasurer-elect Ii. E. Park, of Macon.
Treasurer Speer has made a remark
able record while in office and leaves
the treasury in splendid condition. He
succeeded the late R. I Hardeman,
tmt f a number of years previous
had h n connected with the treasury
depa rtment. will
Mr, Park announces that he re¬

ployed by Treasurer Speer. The force

for the district of Atlanta to fill the
vacancy made by the resignation of
Inspector J. P. Atkinson some days
ago. His term will expire October 1,
1902.
The appointment of Mr. Weldon to
H'' s office , which is oue of the best po¬

sioner of agriculture, gives pleasure to
the many friends of the appointee and

Top Crop a “.Ityth,
The government’s bearish cotton re¬
port causes considerable ta’k among
the farmers an 1 cotton men of the
state. All who express opinions from
the farmer's point of view state that
it is ridiculous to talk ahont a top crop
in Georgia or Alabirna, because in
many fields the cows are now follow¬
ing the pickers, and the last of the
crop will be marketed in a short while;
but even where the plant is late it is
short lived, and could not possibly be
mac j e p ro da C o a top crop. However,
lt lr a „ r( . e< i that the farmers have not
been in a better condition since the
w v and niliU y w ( 10Se backs have been

pae[eg are , low f r ,. e f rom debt, and liave thar

they have learned well the lesson of
diversified farming.
Fruit Grower* Not I>i*conrng:«<l.
Regardless of the past season, which
was only partly successful to the fruit
crop of the state, the Georgia growers
are preparing for extensive additions
lo their orchards and are already con
trading with the big nurseries of the
country for thousands of peach trees.

Hardwick Will Try Again.
Representative Hardwick, of Wash¬
ington county, says that ho will again
introduce his bill limiting the suffrage
at the opening of the next general
assembly. lie expresses great confi¬
dence that the measure will secure fa¬
vorable consideration when presented,
despite the overwhelming defeat of
the proposition at the last session, llo
thinks there has beeu a change in
legislative sentiment and says lie may
make some modifications in the orig¬
inal draft.
Special Meeting of State Kmbnlmer*.
Tho Georgia State Board of Ein-
balmers will hold n special meeting iu
Atlanta ou October 27th for the pur¬
pose of examining applicants for tho
state lieonse.
The board is only required but by this law
to hoi.I one meeliug a year,
special meeting is held for tho nocom-
modatiou of thoso who could not np-
pear before the last mootiug, which
oocnrred iu Savannah. Tho meeting
in Atlanta will be bold at 24 J West
Alabama street, and it is expected that
thero will bo about twenty-five appli¬
cants present. Tho hoard will be iu
session perhaps two days
Hurfoit «f Prosperity.
As a result of tho prosperous condi-
tions now prevailing iu Georgia mid
the increase in business which lias
followed, charges have been brought
against tho Southern railway in the
railroad commission of Georgia for
failure to Supply the demand for cars.
This complaint was file 1 a few days
ago by the oitizens of Mayaville and
Villa Rica, who allego that traffic is
congested in both towns and that they
are suffering an injury as a result.
The road’s officials promised to
make every effort to relievo the con¬
gestion nt the points montiono nt tiled
earliest, possiblo moment. If the road
complies the matter will probably
drop whore it is, but if not, then the
commission will prooeod with a further
investigation.
Dopendu (lio Sfat«.
If the’ railroads entering Atlanta
agree to pay as rental 6 per cent per
annuli on" tho cost of a union station
to he erected by the state, the outcome
of the recent conference betweon the
railroads and the depot commission
will iu all likelihood be that before
the close of 1901 Atlanta will have a
new depot on the site of tho present
one, costing between $400,000 aud
$600,000.
If the new statiou is erected it will
be erected by the state and not by the
railroads. Through the president of
the lessee road, Major J. W. Thomas,
the announcement was formally made
that it is out of the question for tho
depot to bo built by tho railroads.
That proposition is no loHger in con-
temptation.
Gridin’* CttrnlvHl a Surcem*.
Secretary Searcy, of tho Griffin ear-
i Lai company,made a statement show¬
ing that after paying all expenses and
outstanding bills tlicro was a balanco
on hand of $372.20 After some dis
mission it was decided to leave the
amount in the hands of President
Drake, to he out at interest as n
nucleus for a carnival fund for next
year. It is now a settled fact that
Griffin will havo another carnival next
year.
r«*rio<!I cjiI IiiHpeettou liGcoinmundo J.
Inspector General Obear in bis an¬
nual report to the adjutant general of
the state, strongly recommends that
the eight military schools of Georgia
which have been supplied at the state’s
expense with arms and accoutrements
bo inspected periodically as contem¬
plated by law. « The report points out
that while these institutions are bene¬
ficiaries of the state to a certain de¬
gree, they have never been subjected
to an inspection with the idea of en¬
couraging the worthy ones and
priving tho unworthy of the state's
equipment.
Farmer I* A**n**iiiated.
News was received in Valdosta Satur¬
day that Youtnan Padgett, a well
known farmer of the Cat Creek dis¬
trict, was shot and instantly killed by
an unknown assassin while at the
house of a neighbor, Thomas W. Ray,
assisting in nursing a sick child. Pad¬
gett was about to retire and walked
to the door, when the fatal shot was
fired, and he fell dead. The as¬
sassin escaped and there is no clue to
hia identity. It is supposed that l'at-
gett was shot iu mistake for Ray.
Croaker Did Not Contribute.
Richard Croker emphatically de¬
nies the story that $00,000 had beeu
contributed by him, as coming from
Tammany Hall to tho Democratic
national committee.

OM Laddie Is dead; our good old dog.
Wo ne’er shall see hi in more.
Ite died las' Sunday at 10 o'olook|
Wo burled him at 4.
Laddie was seventeen years old. We
raised him from puppyhood to doghood
and all those years he seemed like one
of the family. He loved ns all and we
loved him, for he was affectionate, goad -
ninmiered, dignified, courageous aud
very handsome. He mvev sought a
fight vidi another dog, but he never
dec ined oue and aiwin s eaino off the
victor.
His face nnd neck and foot and part
of his tail were white; his hair long
and glossy and his eyes were amber or
rather a brilliant yellow sapphire. In
• mill, he was a very handsome dog
and came from well-bred stock, bis
graudsire having hceu sold for $500
in Montgomery, lie was known ns a
shepherd dog—a Hootch collie—and
knew his duties and qualities l>y in¬
stinct aud inheritance. Wo did not
have to train him to go after the slieop
or the cattle aud bring tliem home.
\\ lion I left the farm and movod to
town he seemed lost and unhappy for
awhile, but soon adapted himself to
tho little grandchildren and followed
them around, and during his Inst ill¬
ness, when ho conldent walk, it would
please him for me lo lift him up to the
sandbed, where tho children were
playing. The smaller tho children tho
etrouger his love for them. They were
the sheep and ho was tho good shep¬
herd.
We did not send his carcass to the
potter’s field. I dug a shapely grave
down in the corner of the garden, then
lifted his dead body gently into the
wheelbarrow nnd rolled it to the place.
Tho wheelbarrow was the hearso. I
was the horse and five of the grand¬
children were the escort. When all
was ready my wife nnd daughters eamo
down to the funeral aud ivo buried
Laddie nnd mounded up his grave
and placed a hoard with his uamo and

Dogs have a carious and interesting
history. In ancient times they were
under the ban of Jewish contempt aud
"' ero pronounced and denounced ns

6 0u| l " 01 ^ '•* said <’f them in all scrip-
! lm ‘: “The price of a dog is an abom-
,na G° n to the Lord,” eaitk Moses,
J°b saith: “I disdained to set
their fathers with the dogs of my flock.”
Am I a dog?’ Beware of dogs.”
“For without are dogs and sorcerers
and idolaters and murderers, and who¬
soever loveth and maketh n lie But
surely lliey must, havo had some good
reputable dogs, or' they would have
killed off the breed. It. was the mean,
thievish, trifling dogs that gave a had
name to all the race, just as they do
now.
Ouvior says that dogs in general are
the most contemptible of nil domestic
animals, but that the improved species
are the most useful aud complete con¬
quest ever made by man. All their
faculties are adapted to profit and
pleasure arid protection. Barbarous
nations owe much of thoir better na¬
ture to the possession of tho dog.
Cuvier says that tho principal and
best species aro indigenous to certain
countries. Such as tho shepherd to
Arabia, the Esquimaux and Newfound¬
land to Siberia, St. Bernard to the
Alps, etc. But dogs have got mixed
and crossed into all sorts of forms and
fashions, like the Cubans in Cuba.

most of Hie different kind of dogs are
degraded mongrels. But a dog is a
dog and every man and boy loves Ins
own aud will defend him. “Love me
love my dog” is a proverb 350 years
old. Alexander Stephens was asked
tyhat was the secret of his attachment
to a dirty little snarling dog that fol¬
lowed him around. Ho replied,
“Well, I hardly know, but I reckon I
love the little dog because he loves
That was reason enough. He
hail neither wife nov children to love
him, and so he concentrated ou the
dog, lint still his friends thought ho
might have chosen a more attractive
one.

■Utaneu I, ICxpreted.
A Washington special says: Minis¬
ter Wu was one of Seeretary Hay’s
early callers Thursday. lie had no
lojp advices from China, hut camo to
learn the course of this government
on tho French proposition. Ho ex¬
pressed considerable apprehension
over tho press reports that a consid¬
erable military expedition was moving
on Pno Ting Fu. Ho looks upon this
ns likely to cause serious complica¬
tions nnd a renewal of ugitntiou among
tho Chinese.
Ho says that the reports of serious
boxer uprisings in south China nre not
correct and nro set afloat with a view
to creating the impression on this side
of the water that grave dangers exist
which call for a military campaign by
the allies. Tho best evidence of this,
ho says, is the fact that tliore are no
boxers in the south of China. Tho
minister feolH certain that Earl Li
Hung Chang lias arrived at Pekin.
Nothing has been heard from Mr.
Couger for a day er two. It appears
(hat it was an erroneous assumption
that tho minister had submitted to the
state department a list of Chinese offi¬
cials who had beon punished. Ho did
supply the department with n copy of
the imperial odict in which a number
of officials were mentioned, hut made
uo prescriptions himself, although ho
did express the opinion that other
Chinese besides those nauiod were Jit
subjects for punislimont.

The following was published brigade on
