There lias been already delivered at
Powder Springs to farmers GOO tons of

amount will run up to 800 tons. Tho
amount in former years has been about
500 tons. O.io reason of this is that all

there is coming one of the biggest and

und many splendid industrial plants
within a very short time.
Work will be begun at oncer on the
erection of repnir shops at Atlantn for

Carrol county lends the state in many
things, and one of these is in the number
of postoftices. According to tbo late post
guieieB there thirty-six postoflices in Car-
roll county—three more than any other
county in the state haB. Corroll also,ac
cord ing to tho census of 1890, has nearly
double the number of farms of nuy other
county in Georgia. The county has a
white population of twenty thousnnd,
anil there aro more laDd tedders among
tho above Dumber of white people than
any other two counties in the state. In
the number of postoflices anil pout roaeis,
the number of farms, pretty girls, the
number of schools nnd school children,
Carroll county leads Georgia.

The Georgia congressmen urn being
flooded with applications for e ffice, and
there is not one of them who is not in
daily receipt of a volume of mail from
bis district from aspirants for e.ftice.
Tbc congressmen urc doing tho best the y
can, nnd aro working like beavers for
1 their constituents, but they are, of
course, helpless in providing as many of
their constituents witli oflieo us they
would like until Georgia’s apportion
ment of federal patronage is adjusted to
a fair basis. The mutter of justice rests
entirely with the departmental heads,
and it is, consequently, solely a mat
ter for cabinet consideration.
Tho thousands of ofliccs in the
different departments presided over by
tho members of the cabinet are theoreti
cally distributed among the states ac
cording to population, but practically
Georgia has bad no showing whatever,
leaving been aim* st entirely crowded out
by the republican administrations. The
qucBtion of adjustment of tbo basis of
teprescntaii- n is now a big one in Wash

so far heard from, Is ticnrlilv with tho
Atlanta Constitution in tin eiturt to se
cure just recognition for Georgia. Thi'y

Another successful attack Upon Iho
wild lane! sabs made under a lax fi. fa.
issued by Comptroller General Goltl-
smithi has beeli Hindu nhtl itte Hflesllon
gbotvlug oltt df it rooms to be no smalt
matter. This timo the case is from the
superior court of Dooly colmty. and the
esstta in tho caso wns whether or not the
lands hid bhcu advertised tl>H full time
required by Intv. This is a now pi ini e,f
attack on tho sales of Georgia’s wild
lands. It is a poiut, which having be en
decided against tho sale, will enter into
much litigation that will In all probabil
ity come from the snltthorn part of (he
state Upon the validity of llu-so rales in
the future. The case so recently decided
was argued under .Tuelgo Fish by Colonel
J. H. Ilnll nml Colonel J, W. Hnygooel
for tho plaint IT, who wnB Mr. Hugh A.
McLonti. Tho defendants were Messrs,
lledgooel nnd ltoyal. The enso si-ettls til
leave boor, one of unusual interest nnd
lasted several days at tho last term of the
court for Dooly county. Judge Fish
charged the jury that, if it appeared
that tho comptroller of that day and
time, meaning Comptroller General Gold
smith, did not aelvettiso the land in
dispute for four weeks or twenty-eight
days in the newspaper required by law,
the sale mado by the sheriff wns void.
Tho evidence! tho jury had on this p int

from this it was found that tha advertise

1877. Tho case,- was decideel in favor of
tho plaintiff. This mom s that, if there

Last Wednesday morning President J.
O. Waddell, of tho Goor £iu Agricultural
Society, ami Mayor 8. H. Price, of the
city of Macon,signed tho modified agree
ment or contract between the cily and
the society in roference to the rotation of
the stato fair. Thu following in tho
modified Agreement:
Georgia, Bibb County— 1 Th : n ngroemont made
and entered into this tho 22d duy of March,
1 HD J, between tho mayor and council of iho
city of Macon a corporation duly incorporated
under the lawn of mid state, and tho Georgia
Hi-ato Agricultural Society, a corporation duly
incorporated under tbo laws of said slate:
Witnessolh, that, whereas at tho rogu'ar
meoting of said mayor and council, hold on tho
7<h day of March 1893, tho following resolu
tion, amending tho contract mado nnd entered
Into on Iho 4th day of April, 1887, by nnd be
tween tho said mayor and council, of tho city
of Macon, and tho Georgia Stato Agrieu tural
Society was passed:
Whereas tho Goorgia 8‘afo Agricultural So-
cioly, through its president and committee
have expressed a desire to modify tho contract
with tho city to allow tho society to hold their
annual fair in other cities by tho system of ro
tation, and,
Whereas, It is Iho purpose nnd wish of the
city of Macon to aid tho society in its object;
now, therefore,
Resolved, That the present contract between
tho city and tbo society ho so •mended an to
permit tho society to hold their fairs in chiea
other than Macon; that 1h to ray, the society
shall hind thoimolvefl to hold their fairs in Ma
con each alternato year, beginning wbh 1893,
• ud that the moiety shall also bind thomsotvoa
not to liol I their fairs in any city thut will not
agree to not hold a fair of any hind in tho year
in which tho state fair is being hold in Macon.
Further, that tho fair of 1893 may ho hold in
any city soleotod by tho society, but tlio fair of
1894 shall ho held in Macon, and in each alter
nate year thereafter until the contract with tho
city terminates.
In pursuance with the aforesaid resolution
and in testimony whereof, the mayor of tho
city of Macon and the president of said society
hereby agree to Iho t<rms.expressod therein,
affixed their official signatures tho day and year
first above mentioned.
The agreement wns duly signed up nnd
attested. President Waddell is very en
thusiastic about the future of tho society
and the state fairs. He says that the al
ternating or rotating plan will arouse a
spirit of rivalry among the cities to got
the fair and acc which can have tho finest
exhibition. President Waddell further
soys that ho has received numerous let
ters from tho executive committee and
members of the society praising Macon’s
magnanimous and liberal action in con
senting to the modified contract.
The Geological Bucket.
The state geological board, at its meet
ing in Atlanta a few days ago, with one
sweeping stroke struck off the heads of
all three of the state geologists. They
were not only asked to resign, but were
literally turned out of their offices and
the keys are in the pocket of the secre
tary of tho board. This departmei t of
state, important rs it is, lrns been prac
tically abolished for some time, and out
o: this act the most notable sensation
that has taken place at the stato capitol
for many a long day evolves. Dr. J. W.
Spencer, the chief geologist says in effect
that he’ll not resign the office which ho
has filled so well. Professor 15. T. What
ley, the well-known assistant geologist,
sent in his resignation to tho board. It
wns a brief note und simply says
he resigns, nothing more. Profes
sor Anderson, tho other assistant geolo
gist, says that he doesn’t think that he de
serves such treatment, but in compliance
with the instructions of the board, he
banded in his resignation with the one
protest. The coup de etat was brought
about by the introduction and adoption
of a resolution dispensing with tho ser
vices of the above named gentlemen.
When the resolution had been read and
agreed to bo by the numbers of the
board. The secretary was instructed to
write the following letter and Bend a
copy of it to each of the geologists, which
he did:

urvey— the chief nnd flic iwo assistant geolo
gists--which want of harmony has rendered in-
flicient tho work of surveying tho stato en
trusted to them, tho ivs* gnat ions of iho mem
bers of tho survey should bo asked for at onco.
I am instructed lurtlior to ask that tho chief
geologist and i ucli of tho assistant geologists
blind in their resignations at a meeting of the
geological I ion ri I 10 ho had at 3 o’clock this af-
•noon, March 22d. I have Iho honor to ho,
•, yours most respectfully,
Stanhope Hams.
When this notification was handed Dr.
Spencer he made the following reply:
Mn. Stanhope Hams, Secretary Stato Geo
logical Board—Dear Sir : Your esteemed favor
of tills date, notifying me that owing to tho
“want of harmony among tiro members of tho
state geological survey—tho chief and tho two
Bistunt geologists--which want of harmony
...is rendered inefficient tho work of surveying
tho state entrusted to them, tho resignations of
the members of the survey should bo asked for
at once.”
Bicoubo of tho want of harmony, mentioned
by you, and the consequent incfiloioncy of a
portion of a work of tho geological department,
both of which were tho result of appointing
and sustaining untrained and incompetent geo
logical assistants, and of neither of which I
was respond b e for—tho incompetent work
I had already reported. I wrote and
handed to his excellency tho governor, my
resignation in which 1 gave ray reasons
fur wishing to withdraw from the survey,
which was rendered relatively inefficient by
the policy adopted by tho hoard itself. 1
withdrew that resignation which I put into
tho hand* of tho governor December 22, 1892,
to bo used by him if in his judgment tiro inter-
i st of tho surv y made it desirable, and I now
decline to send in my resignation in compliance
with the request of the board, mado this morn
ing. It may bo propoi ^.o say that I do not
recognize the right of the braid to demand
my resignation, though I am aware that tbo
governor, the appointing power has the right
to rotrtovo mo for incompctency, inefficiency or
misconduct. That I am inefficient, in that my
work has been so, except as a result of tho
policy pursued by tho hoard in hampering tho
survey by npp dnling assistants known to it to
be unfitted, 1 deny; that I ant incompetent ad
mits of easy dhproval by scientific men. That
I have been guilty of misconduct, official or
private, I also deny.
Your obedient servant,
J. W. SVEKGEB.
