L. Hen ry and tho Georgia Packing Company, butchcis. The council imposes certain market regulations which conflicts with the Interests of the abovo named parties, Major A. J. West nnd Lieutenant Sat* Itrlee viaitid Camp Northen a few days ago for tho purpose of having sorno changes made and the buildings of tho camp remodeled. They have done much on tho grounds to improve the plaeo, both in nppeurnuco und for the comfort of tho soldiers. v v # There lias been already delivered at Powder Springs to farmers GOO tons of ftrtil zets, and in all probability tho 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 the cotton seo.1 has been sold nnd not much compost has bceu made, and farm ers ate buying fertilizers for both cotton aud coin. * . . Another furnace will probably bo erected in Remit in the near future. It will be; similar lo tho one elected by the It mo Iron Company. Mr. L. S. Colyer, who has managed the furnace so success fully, has tnnde to the Rome bondhold ers a proposition for tho building of nnother sixty-ton furnace, und the suc cess of the first has bceu such that tbo bondholde rs arc giving the mntter si il eus consideration. <e* . * Upon tho completion of certain deals that arc now on foot In Cherokee county for some of her finest mineral properties, there is coming one of the biggest and best, booms that north Georgia has ever known. The county has some of tho richest and meet varied mineral deposits in Georgia. The feectB havo been made known to some loading capitallsiic enter prises nnd they ore now concluding ne gotiations that mean millions of money 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 the Southern Iron Car Company. A tem- pornry structure will be put up now nnd will be followed by a permanent build ings. They will he largo nnd will em ploy 800 men. The company will send 100 curs to the shops for repai-s as soon as they can undertake tho work. This company has thousands of cats and itas long wanted to seo a largo cir manufac turing and repair plant established. Getting tired of waiting for such an es tablishment, tho company detcrmincel to build a plant large enough to repair its own csrs. Laler the plant may bo turn ed into manufacturing shops. * V * 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. (■SDrala nr the Capital. 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 ington, and every Georgia congressman, so far heard from, Is ticnrlilv with tho Atlanta Constitution in tin eiturt to se cure just recognition for Georgia. Thi'y fet 1 this wav about it for two reasons: First. Bocauso they know it is a mat ter of justice for the state, ami, Settoltd, Hccnlisn they Wnnt to provide for as lliany of their constituents as is pos sible. * + * AltUiokln* Wit el Land Sates. 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 Was obtained from the flics of thee Atl ie- ta Constitution of 1875, it. Beems, und from this it was found that tha advertise ment had not tun the suflicient length of timer. The tax II. fa. was issued in Mureii, 1877. Tho case,- was decideel in favor of tho plaintiff. This mom s that, if there was no error In the decision of the court, much of tho wild land that went this same wny, will very s ion change hands in that section of tile stato, The caso in quoslion will be brought beforo tho su premo court of tbostiioaud Iheret will ho n coniiuuntion of the light. If Iho evi dence is as e'eur us it would seem from the judgment of tho court below, then there is going to bo a groat sensation ex ploded about the land thu people of cen tral and southern Georgia livo on at present. ♦ * Tho ,\ (tree in nil Niguori. 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: Atlanta, Ga., March 22.—Dear Sir: I are instructed by tho state geological hoard through Governor Northen as chairman, to ad vise you of the action of the board at its meet ing this morning.

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. How the mutter will cml loinnlna to bo won.
