GLORIA mS HEMS Brief Summary of Interesting Happenings Culled at Random. Governor Cannot ltorrow. Attorney General .T. M. Terrell will file before Jml go Lumpkiu, in the superior court at Atlanta the petition for mandamus against State Treasurer Li. E. Park to require him to show' cause why he refuses to pay the school teachers’ warrants from the public property fund, as he is directed to do by the act of 1897. The situation was shaped up at the capitol Saturday so that this proceed ing can lie pushed forward at once. The warrants for toe teachers’ pay w’hich had been sigued l>y Governor Candler and countersigned by Comp troller General Wright were presented at the treasury for payment by State School Commissioner Glenn, and pay ment was formally refused. The state school commissioner promptly notified the governor of the treasurer’s refusal to pay. The gov nor had previously informed the state treasurer that he wanted him to pay all of the warrants or none When notified of the refusal Governor Can dler instructed Attorney General Ter rell to proceed to file suit an stated. Though Treasurer Park has an nounced that he would waive all legal technicalities, it will necessarily be some time before the question can be determined. Attorney General Ter rell expqpts to secure, a fiual determina tion of the matter by June Ist, aud will be satisfied if his expectations in that respect are realized. In the meantime the teachers will have to wait for their money. They wili uot he paid until after the su preme court has decided the issue. Governor Candler decided that he could not borrow $200, 000 for .ha pur pose of making the payments. The constitution and the statutes permit him to borrow- not exceeding $200,000 to meet a “casual deficiency.” As his pow'er to borrow is limited to a case of casual deficiency, that being the lan guage of the constitution as well as of the statutes, the governor considers that he has not the right to borrow ir the present contingency. • Norwood Citizens Insulted. The town council and mayor of Nor wood are greatly stirred up by the ac tion of the grand jury at the April term of Warren superior court. The grand jury iu their general present ments referred to the streets of Nor wood as “roads” and recommended that the justice of the peace have the roads w’orked. The town authorities have always prided themselves on their good streets, and consider the action of the grand jury an unwar ranted reflection, and have resented the same by some red-hot resolutions passed in executive session. NfW Georgia Potofflrpi The postoffice department has es tablished the following new postoffices in Georgia: Carlyle, Hancock county, special from Sparta, seven miles south, Julia R. Ivy, postmaster. Crouch, Merriwether county,Towns ville, three miles north, Rockymouut, three miles south, Annie M. Hayes, postmaster. Wampum, Haralson county, special from Delia, three and one-quartei miles south, Thomas 13. Hobbs, post master. Hauora, Lincoln county, special from Goshen, three miles southwest, John O. Caldwell, postmaster. Kingsboro,Harris couuty, Hamilton, four miles north, Cataula, four miles south, re-established, with John M. Bruce as postmaster. Cedar, Jackson county, special from Pendergrass,three and one-half miles northeast, Charles F. Evans, post master. Pharr, Pickens county, Jerusalem, three miles south, Talking Rock, live miles north, re-established, with John G. Pharr as postmaster. Winslow, Wayne county, to Pendar vis, two and one-quarter miles, and Mt. Pleasant, five miles southeast, James R. Bennett, postmaster. I he followiug postoffices in Georgia have been discoutiued: Panthersville, DeKalb county, superseded by rural free delivery; Snapfinger, DeKalb county, superseded by free delivery; W estviow, DeKalk county, superceded by rural free delivery. J. H. Cavender has been appointed postmaster of the fourth-class office at Baxter in Union county. * * * Murdered a Negro Girl. The W 7 are county grand jury has found a bill against T. J. Spence, ol W aresboro, for the killing of a little negro girl at that place last December. Spence is a youug man of excellent family and had no trouble giving i ' bond of $4,000 when arrested. * * * Melon Crop Damaged. Growers of watermelon and canta loupes in the Albany section state that the April cold snap has damaged the melon crop seriously. The injury to young cottou may be judged from the fact that parties in Albany who are | known to have cotton seed on hand J have been flooded with rush orders. I The Cotton Oil Company’s Albany mill ! has received orders ranging from a bushel to a car load of seed. Some farmers report the certain destruction of plants just out of the ground, and all plantings are more or less seriousb damaged. • * * Forty Nt*w Stntf Hank*. State Bauk Examiner S. G. Turner is making the annual examination of the state bauks. The increase in the number of state bauks in Georgia dur ing the last year has been something remarkable. There are jnst exactly forty more banks in the state today than there were ou September stl last, the time when Mr. Turner com pleted his examinations for last year Instead of haviug only 137 banks tc examine, as was the case last year, Mr Turner has this year 177 of them. • * Cotton Men Orgntiit'*. Tho Southeastern Compress Asso ciation was organized at Savannah the past week ny ibe consolidation of the Alabama Compress Association and the Georgia and South Carolina Asso . iit.ii/u. .. HOiU one JlUll ill i(I i. < u In of the U o associations were present They control the compressing ol square bales of cotton in the three states named. Speeches were made and papers read strongly urging the adoption of the standard bale of 2-1x34 inches. • * * Fruit Grower* Meet May t^t. The North Georgia Fruit Growers association will meet in annual session at Calhouu ou May 1. President G H. Miller will preside. Among the prominent speakers will be Professot Quintance of the state experiment farm and Dr. J. B. Huunicntt, editor of the Southern Cultivator, and Dr. H. C. White, of the State University President Miller expects a large at tendance and much good to result from the gathering. * m * Christian Scientists Turned Down. Judge J. H. Lumpkin, of the super ior court, of Fulton county has denied two different applications for a char ter for “The Atlanta Institute of Christian Science,” the effect of his decision being that Christian Scien tists cannot practice their treatment of diseases in the state of Georgia with out. having regularly graduated in medicine or passed an examination be fore the medical examining board, the same as other physicians. The decision of Judge Lumpkin will be of great interest, not only in Atlnu ta, but throughout Georgia and the entire country aud is bound to attract great attention. Judge Lumpkin holds that, accord ing to the decision of a case in the sit prerne court of Nebraska. Christian Science is the practice of medicine, and he further holds that the practice of mediciue in Georgia, according tc the state law, must be accomplished by persons who are regularly graduat ed from a medical school. Georgia Soldiers From Manila. Within a week it is expected thal many members of the Twenty ninth volunteer regiment of the United States will arrive in Atlanta. Tbe regiment has arrived at San Francisco from Manila. It has dis embarked and is now at the Presidio. It has been decided to muster the reg iment ont at San Francisco aud it will not return to Fort McPherson, where it was recruited. The Twenty-ninth was recruited nt the post and left a year and a half ago. It is composed of young men from Georgia and adjoining states, aud has among its officers some of the promi nent military men of the state. Dur ing its service in the Philippines ii has seen steady service in some of the most dangerous portions of the archi pelago. The record of the regimen! has been a flattering one. * * Poisoned liy Wild Honey, Monroe Miller, who lives near Bar nett Shoals in Oconee county, withhii son, a lad of ten years of age, cut i tree a day or two ago iu which somt bees had stored a quantity of honey. Having cut the tree both father and son ate of the honey and began im mediately to suffer intensely from poison. The son died in a very short time, and it was only by aid of the most powerful antidotes that the life of the father was saved. * * • Statement I* Called For, State Treasurer R. E. Park has sent out a circular letter to all the state banks calling for a statement from them at the close of business on April 15th. This statement is called for un der the act of 1891, as amended by the act of 1894, relating to state banks. * • • Savannah** New Depot. James H. McKenzie & Sod, of Au gusta, have secured the contract for constructing the union depot at Sa vaunah. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bough! Bears the Signature of OPPOSING DISPENSARY. \*vr<pjpt*r* if Koine, <bi., Knggi*d in 11 Lively (.'ontfHf Over Liquor Question. The Home, Ga. Tribune in its issue of Sunday eoutaiued a double column editorial opposing the dispensary. The Tribune bad been neutral in the contest up to that date and there was much speculation as to the position it would take. Editor Knowles, of the Tribune, is one of Fit yd’s representatives in the legislature, and Editor Wright, of The Times, also represents the county at the state oapitol. The Times is for the dispensary and The Chronicle and Tribune are oppos ed to the abolition of the saloon for the dispensary. CA.STOHIA.

PITTARD, Tax Receiver Bartow county, j March 15, 1901. I COLD PLAYS HAVOC Wind, Snow, Sleet and Floods Do Untold Damage. MANY STATES IN ICY GRASP In The Sunny Southland Frigid Wave Badly Hurts Cropland Fruit in Many Sections. Roaring storm**, continued high winds and heavy precipitatious of rain and snow have been conditions in many of the states of the south at the close of the past week. Little damage was done by tho winds, though it is feared that iu some localities young crops have been stunted or kill ed by the frost or cold. At many points, particularly in eastern Ken tucky, eastern Tennessee aud Vir ginia, the temperature was lower than known in a decade at this time of year. In Kentucky Saturday reports were received by the weather bureau from fifteen cities or towns and in most of them the minimum temperature of Fri day ranged between 30 and 34 degrees. The maximum for the entire state was 38 degrees at Earliugtou, in Kentucky. The coldest section was the blue grass, in and around Lexing ingtou. This is the best fruit grow ing part of the state, and here, it is feared, there was damage by frost, no! only to fruit, but to vegetable aud to bacco crops. In the mountains of Keutnekv the snowfall was unbroken and fourteen inches were reported at London ahd Middlesboro. All the streams there were bunkfull aud general prepara tions were being made to vacate the homes in the valleys before the thaws aud the expected floods should swoop down upon them. There has been mneb suffering among the poor mountain eers. Around Louisville there Lai been no damage of consequence. UKOKUIA COTTON KILLED. It is probable that much of the cot ton crop in the southern part of Geor gia, particularly about Americus, will have to be replanted on account of the damage done by the severe weather of the past few* days. " eather Forecaster J. B. Marbnry at Atlanta received reports from that section Saturday indicating that, the cotton crop had fared badly at the hands of both rain and wind. The rain, it seems, first put. the fields u sncli condition that when the high winds of the past day or so came the tender plants were blighted. I’rof. Marhury is of the opinion that the fruit crop is still safe, but fear* that the young vegetation in many seetions of the state may have suffered considerably. “fhiH is one of the most continuous wind storms that I have ever known, ’* said Mr. Marhury. “For more than thirty-six hours the wind blew at, a rate varying little from forty and forty five miles an hour. It even reached a velocity of fifty miles an hour, but tbi# did not last for any length of time.” According to the weather bureau the temperature for the past few days baa rather encouraged frost, lmt the high winds prevented it. Had there been no wind it is more than probable th 4 the entire state would have been vis ited by a killing frost, which would have laid waste vast sections. SNOW STORM IN OHIO. Saturday North Ohio was swept by a furious storm of wind and snow that prostrated telegraph and telephone wires in all directions. Tho wind came from the north and during the early hours of the day reached a ve locity of 55 miles and hour. All telegraph communication waa severed between Cleveland and points east and sonth. A few wires were patched up to the west, but even these were reported to be working badly. In some respect the storm was the worst experienced during the entire winter. The heavy wet snow came down in blinding sheets and the streets in tbs city were covered with slush. HEAVY ROSSES IN PITTSBT7RO. Conservative estimates of the total damage in the Pittsburg, Pa., district from high water in the Mouongahela river is between $2,000,000 and $3,000,- 000. Fifty thonsand workers are suf fering from enforced idleuess. While there have been greater floods at this point, there was never one that earthed so much financial loss and discorn r orfc. This was due to the denser population, caused by the recent rapid growth of the two cities, and to the fact that all the manufacturing plants ou the river banks were in active operation, most of them working night and day, until the rising water put ont the tires and drove the workers to higher ground. The loss to the railroads entering Pittsbnrg from flood, landslides wreck ed bridges, heavy snow aud the inter ference with traffic is roughly esti mated at $1,000,000. SNOW IN KENTUCKY. Heavy Rains Cause Freshets Which Ren der Many Families Homeless, A heavy suow storm raged tbrorgb out eastern Kentucky Friday. Two days’ heavy rnins preceded the snow storm and brought on freshets iu Pow ell’s valley, which rendered twenty families homeless in that seetiou. There was two inches of snow in Yel low Creek valley and it was a half fool deep on the mquutains.
