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.

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.

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.

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

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.
