Ample Supply of Doctors.
The ranks of doctors will soon be
increased all over the state. Eighty

cense before the eclectic and allopathic
Atate medical boards in session at At
lanta the £ast week, twelve standing
the eclectic examination and seventy
the allopathic.
The state board of allopathic medi
cal examiners bad just seventy appli
cants before them in the house of
representatives at the state capitol.
Of these three were negroes, but
there are generally one or two negroes
before this board at each examination.
The majority of the applicants were
the recent graduates from the College
of Physicians and Surgeons of Atlan
ta, but there were several from other
states, Maryland, New York, Missouri,
Alabama, Florida, North Carolina and

To Meet t Athens In Mny.
The annual convention of the coun
tv school commissioners of Georgia
will be held at Athens May 7th, Bth
and 9th. The date and place were
settled upon at a recent meeting in
Atlanta by the executive committee of
the association.

manifested in the convention this
year, it is said, and the outlook is that
the attendance will be large from every
section of the state.

Special Tax Tent Case.
Proceedings have been instituted in
the Atlanta city court to recover the
taxes receu tly collected from the At
lanta packing establishments by Tax
Collector A. P. Stewart, under an act
passed at the last legislature, imposing
n special tax of §2OO on each place of
business in the state. T. E. Kejirrer.
who is connected with Nelson, Morris
A- Cos., is the plaintiff in the case, and
Collector Stewart is the defendant.
The amount sued for is §207.15, of
which $2.05 is interest and $4.50 costs.
The tax was collected from all of the
■'oncerns in Atlanta, but this one ac
tion is to be a test case. The suit is of
a very important nature, as it will af
fect similar important establistments
throughout the eutire state. There are
about seventeen of these establish
ments in the state, and upon the out
come of the Atlanta case hinges the
validity of the tax act, as pertains to
them. The amount of money involved
is in the neighborhood of SB,OOO. It
is learned that an agreement has been
reached between the attorneys in the
case and Comptroller General Wright
to the effect that if the pending case la
successful be will refund all of the
taxes collected from these concerns.
The tax was formerly SIOO on each
place of business, but. the legislature
increased it to S2OO. The packing con
cerns in Atlanta did not pay the tax,
and Collector Stewart issued fi. fas.
against them. The tax was then paid
under protest and the matter resulted
in the filing of the suit.

*n the Fulton superior court at Atlan
ta disbarring Attorney L. J. Glenn,

For the Ocinalgee.
Macon merchants and business men
are growing anxious about navigation
on the Ocmulgee. They are weary of
paying such high freight rates, and
have been taking some active steps to
remedy the trouble by putting on aline
of boats between Macon and Bruns
wick. There has been much talk on
this subject for the past twenty years,
but it is at last assuming definite
■shape, and there seems to be every
reason to believe the desired end is in
*ight. Some parties with ample capi
tal have been investigating the matter,
and they assure the merchants that as
►non as the government work on the
hannel is completed they will be
•eady to launch several boats.

weather, aud he regards it as now out
of danger.
* * *
Hoard of Education Enjoined.
An injunction has been tiled on the
county board of education prohibiting
the illegal disbursement of the public
school fund to the South Georgia col
legs at Mcßae. Every county board
has appropriated annually a part of
the public school fund and sav they
were authorized by the state school
commissioner to do so under a guise of
a lease from the annual conference.
The case will be watched throughout
the entire state, as it is said some
other schools are being conducted un
der the samo guise for the mirpose of
getting the benefit of the fund appro
priated to the common public schools.
There are many denominational
schools all over the state that do not
ggt a dollar of the public fund, but
will if the courts decide this one is en
titled to it.

Protest Againat Convict Good*.
It has developed that there is going
to be some opposition to the establish
ment of a manufactory for boilowware
at the prison farm at Millegeville, a
subject now being carefully consider
ed by the prison commission. Repre
sentatives and employers of free skill
ed labor and other manufacturers are
opposed to the movement, and some of
them at least are going to enter a pro
test. The commission lias never had
any intention of having stoves manu
factured at the prison farm, but only
boilowware aud stove utensils, the
greater part of which is now manufac
tured by convict labor in four or five
of the states.

H. C. Tindall, who is serving an in
definite sentence in Bibb’s jail, at Ma
con, for contempt of court, in that he
is charged with violating an order of
court while actiug as receiver for the
Macon Hareware company, has set up
an office in his cell at the jail, and has
gone to work in earnest. He declares
that he will make enough money to
settle all of his troubles if be can just
get his work in shape. He has the
ageney for a patent, and is sending out
literature by the basket full. He is
also advertising his business quite ex
tensively in the newspapers.

£uit *f Clothes For Convicts.
The State prison commission has
adopted anew aud important rule re
lating to the government of misde
meanor convict camps. It is a rule
which will effect about 2,200 convicts
in Georgia.
Hereafter all misdemeanor convicts,
upon their discharge, must bo furnish
ed with a suit of clothing to cost sot
less than $5. All convicts who are
leased in counties other than those in
which they are convicted must be fur
nished with transportation back to the
county seat of the county from which
they were siut.
This will effect nearly every misde
meanor convict camp in Georgia.
None of the camps which now employ
misdemeanor convicts from other coun
ties furnish them with transportation,
and only one county, Floyd, furnishes
its convicts with clothing on discharge.

M ♦*ii Who Lon#* ,?*bs.
The four collectors who have lost
their positions as a result of a sweep
ing order from the internal rpveuue
department at Washington calling for
a reduction in the force in this district
are J. H. Griffin, of Atlanta; E. J.

current year and for the next fiscal
year beginning July 1 the appropria
tion will be several hundred thousand
dollars less.
