THURSDAY, JULY 15,1897. In presenting this issue of the. Journal, we feel an additional pride in the same. We fully realize that our •very It iled experience in newspaper business compels us to work the harder ea 'h and every week, trying to imp rove the Journal in every way possi ble. The building up of a young county paper, we fuily realize, is a difficult task and if one is so fortunate as to succeed in this undertaking lie cer tainly deserves the support of such paper’s readers. At the same time he must never for a moment think that there is not great room for very marked impiovements. Therefore we must acknowledge with thanks, dbe receipt of many complimentary re marks upon the quality of the Journal We desire to say that these remarks have very greatly stimulated onr de sire, to still improve, and continue to build still higher. Therefore, we must say that our correspondents thoughout the county are to a greater or less extent res pnnsinhle for tne rising or falling of tlie quality of a paper, and that iu order to continue to raise it, they are as necessary as the plain white paper jtself. ' We fully expect to contiuue to try to improve on each preceding issue of the Journal, and we sincerely trust that our efforts iu this direction wig prove even more successful than they have been in 'he past, and now we desire to say to our contributors that their letters arc the cause of so many complimeuts being pouring in upon the very young Journal, and we feel very grateful toward them for their good wishes and work in the welfare of th Jonrnel And we can do nothing eis e hut hope for a continuance of this the Very best, of p'd.llc work.

LAYING IJY Some of xhe fanners of Georgia arc st ill suffering for rain, although The weekly crop reponr just out shows Tbar The rains have been prevalent' over a greater parr of The STaxe. Cotton lias made some improve ment and corn |is rapidjy catching up. Corron is fruiTing well. Peach es are of an inferior variery and tlio erof is small. The reporr for rhe week ending yesterday is as follows: While xhe prevaleuT weaTher con ditious over the state during the | asf week have been favorable to growing crops, them are quite a number of seexions where no ram has fallen and crops are sffering droughT. Corn and eoTTon have improved where rains have fallen and both are now doing well. In a few sections there are complaints of lice on the cotton and some is shedding, but as a rule, though the plant is small, it is nice and fruiting. Most of the corn has been laid by. The fruit crop is short and poor in quality. Pears are al most a failure in most sections. Peaches are dropping and rotting. Wild berries have been eutdown by drought. The hay crop is good. Pastmes have improved and stock is in good condition. With good season able rams the crops will continue to improve and cotton will soon catch ?- CONVENTION’S MTNTJTK.S I The Executive Committee of the Ranks County Sunday School Con vention met pursuant to "call at the j Court House.

As there seems to be a mistaken idea afloat that the celebration falls on tne last Saturday in July of each year, we desire to call your spe dal at tention to the fact that accord ing to the provisions of the Constitution governing the S. S. Convention,it is necessary for the celebration to be. held on the Saturday before the last Sabbath in July. This year July ends with Saturday the 31st, consequently the celebration will come off just i b ut one week e ,i“ Her than it usually does. So, make your preparations to be on hand sure. This being the firsi celebration fo,- two years it is the desire of almost every one that this will be the greatest in the history of these celebration exercises. The interest that is being taken in this matteris only partially shown when we inform you that the following Sabbath schoolshave taken prompt ste| s toward making the occasion ane long to be remembered, on account of its inter- esting and instructive features. These schools have expressed their desire for the celebration and have already e'ected delegates to the con vention: Baptitt and Presbyterian schools in Homer, Bushville, Beaver Dam, Two S. schools at Maysville, Mt. Pleasant, New Salem, Hebran, making nine in all. l!y reference to the above programme it will be seen that a good programme has been arranged, splendid subjects nave be.):; assigned to very competent persous, who are capable to, and will no doubt make them interesting and instructive indeed. You ought to lend your valuable presence to such an occasion, and you are expected to be here on Friday or Saturday the 23 or 24th inst.

He says that he will make a number of speeches through | the summer anvocating the govern ! ineiil owneiship of railroads. Blalock Committee Stiil on Capitation Tax. •Tc Blalock committee of the state ! legislature is still at work investi gating the capitation tax of the differ ent concerns throughout the state. They spent most of the day yester day ascertaining if die railroad com panies were delinquent in their pay ments and the result was somewhat startling. It was found that nranv of the roads ill the state had not paid tin's capita tion tax for a whole year, and some had never paid it at all. A few com panies have compiled with the law,hut the majority have not. The committee is making a full list of those who have paid and those who have not paid, and will present the same to the legislature. While there is necessarily a dvfie - eney on the sttite eiunptroler’s ho >ks, yet the committee does not hold him responsiablu for the non collection of! the tax. It is the duty of the tax receivers in each county to called amount, and Chairman Blalock indi cated yesterday afternoon t.he rec eivers would probably he held ae countable for this seeming neglect. It is the duty of the railroad com panies, however, to include this tax in their regular returns at the end of the ye r, and they may be made to show cause why they also fail <1 to comply with the law. The committee will likely be in session some time yet, as they have much work to do. The capitation tax will not l.e fin ished for several days, as the corn mittee lias to investigate telephone, t, 1 graph, electric lig! t compact s, the agents of firms negotiating loans and ihe lawyers, physiciuus ana den tists, all of whom are subject to this dapitation tax of sio per anuin.
