GEORGIA NEWS ITEMS Interesting Happenings In the State Gathered at Kandom. Ample Supply of Doctors. The ranks of doctors will soon be increased all over the state. Eighty two of them were candidates for li 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 ■South Carolina being represented. • * • m 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.

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. • * * Under Headrijjlit Lawn. Under the headright laws Secretary of State Phil Cook has granted 150 acres of land in Camden county, near the county line of Wayne and Glynn, to Matthew' Daniels. * * • liiillroad Charter Amended Secretary of State Phil Cook has .'ranted an amendment to the charter of the Dover and Statesboro railroad, which, in effect, gives it all the cor porate powers of the railroads more recently chartered.

Judge Lumpkin has issued an order *n the Fulton superior court at Atlan ta disbarring Attorney L. J. Glenn, which proceeding revokes the attor ney’s license aud prohibits him from practicing law in the state of Georgia. The proceeding against Glenn grew ->ut of his conviction in the criminal superior court recently of the charge of forgery. • * • 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. * * * Georgia Fruit Crop Safe. Commissioner of Agriculture O. B.

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. * * * Opens Ottk’ft In Jail. 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.

The Interstate Cotton Oil company, of Augusta, has filed with Secretary of State Phil Cook a certified statement of an issue of $100,500 of 6 per cent bonds to mature April 1, 1911. * m * £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. • * * Adjutant- Send* Out Letter*. Adjutant General Robertson is en gaged in sending out letters to the members of the governor’s staff notify ing them officially of the proposed trip to Albany on April 23rd.

Griffin, of Atlanta; E. J. Hinton, of Woodbury; R. S. Hender son, of Jasper, and W. E. Crockett, of Marietta.
