Treasury statistics make dull
reading, but they have bright spots
; n them fox anybody who wants
light on southern investments.

remarkable appreciation of values
on southern railway securities sug
e S ts that those who make it their
Jusiness to know the trend of in
dustry and commerce are well sat
isfied with the outlooK in that part
0 { the country. The solid rock on
which they base their confidence
can be discovered with the divining
rod of government figures.
Under the _ex isting system of
railway operations —Which is the
natural system for a territory so
vast as that of the United States—
the in and out bound mo.yement
from any definite division' of the
seaboard iM function! of .'the in
dustry of the region tributary to
(hat coast. For it is wasteful in a
country so large to carry products
from the point of production to a
remole export point when an equal
ly good port lies close at hand.
The “straight lintheory of
transportation carried into effect
has produced certain well-marked
tones of production and export, of
which the gulf region is one. If
;he exports of that region increase
t is safe and accurate to assume
that its productivity has increased,
and if the increase in production
is at a rate greater than that shown
by the census it must be assumed
that the excess stands to the credit
of the natural resources of the re
giolLor- to-tke increased efficiency
of its industrial population, or to
.both in conjunction.
The treasury statistics of foreign
trade and coastwise commerce to
and from gulf and south Atlantic
ports, considered in parallel with
the census returns, enforces these
conclusions—that the individual
efficiency of the southern people is
being and veloped anc that t ic na
tural resources of the soutn are be

rate greater than the growth of the
papulation. And where this can
be shown of any community it is

The bill carries with it an ap
propriation from the treasury of
the state amounting to $3,770,000,
the largest appropriation ever
made before by one legislature.
It breaks all records, and the
state will be taxed to the utmost
limit to get through without bor
rowing money. The total revenue
of the state will be $3,550,000,
which will leave a deficit of $220,-

Governor Candler was opposed
to the heavy appropriations, but
to veto any of the sections would
have caused dissatisfaction in

THE HOUSE FOUND.
Isolated Building Where Young
Cudahy Was Immured.
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 21. —The
World Herald reporters, this after
noon located the house in which
Eddie Cudahy was held prisoner at
3604 Grover street, a point about
four iniHs southwest of the city.
The house is an isolated structure
on a promontory commanding a
full view of the country for miles
about. On the second floor was
found anew well bucket contain
ing water. About the rooms were
found hundreds of cigarette stubs
and burnt matches and a small
quantity of sugar and coffee.
Miss Madge Munshaw, who lives
’with her parents at 3608 Grover
street, first saw one of the occu
pants about ten days ago, when he
came to her house, and asked
whether or not the house next door
\vas vacant. She did not know.
The next day he returned and
told her when he met her in the
yard that he had rented the house
from Schneiderwing, the owner.
He said that another man had
rented it and paid $1 down for it,
but had not taken it. This man
Miss Munshaw describes as being
about 45 years old, black hair and
moustache, sprinkled with gray.
Tuesday evening, just after dark,
a light spring wagon drove up to
the house and two or three got
out. Wednesday morning a pony
was hitched in front of the house,
but the spring wagon and the
house were gone.

FREEM 8 HULL.
FEMALE CONVICTS
-1 Burn Woman's Department at the
State Prison.
Three women, confined at the
I state prison farm at Miiledgeville,
1 are suspected of having set fire to
1 the. buildings which were burned
down at the farm last week. Two
9f the women are negroes and one
is white.
Information was received from
the farm this morning by Chairman
Turner ot the prison commission,
to the effect that there is sufficient
eviuen-e to convict the three wo
men of the ciimv of aison. No ar
rests have been made, as the wo
men are already serving a sentence
in the penitentiary.
The fire caused a great seusatißn
at the time, and it was thought
then that the blaze was caused by
incendiaries. As was stated in The
News of Monday, the commission
has been carrying on an investiga
tion, and the superintendent of the
farm writes today that he has found
out who the incendiaries are.
The fire started in the woman’s
building shortly after dark and
spread rapidly. The superintend
ent has bee 1 keeping a close look
out since the fire, and has decided
that the three women he first sus
pected are to blame for the blaze.
It is believed that they set fire to
the building with the hope of es
caping, but not one prisoner got
away.
The women will be presented to
the grand jury at its session in
January, and it is very likely that
they will be indicted for arson and
punished accordingly.
The destruction of the buildings
proved a big loss to the state, as
they were all new, and cost about
$5,000. Work has commenced 011
new ones, however, and it will not
be long before they are com
pleted.
Reduce the House.
Philadelphia Times.
It would be very much better
for the public business to have the
number of members largely reduc
ed, but it is not practicable to com
pel a number of the states which
would lose in representation to ac
cept the reduction. Another rea
son that is presented with much
force, is that we now have
a number of pocket states whose
representation cannot be reduced,
as each state must have one mem
ber in congress.
Public iitterest will be likely to
be subordinated to the ambition of
congressmen and to the interests
of the states which would lose rep
resentation by maintaining the
present number of congressmen or
reducing them. The average con
gressman is very humanly human
and there is little hope of fixing
any apportionment under the new
census that would lessen the num
ber of congressmen in a number of
the states. In such cases there is
no telling who might be left out,
and that makes a general scramble
against an empty seat in the dele
gation of any commonwealth.

SOLDIERS’S HOME BILL-
Veterans Will*Now Have a Place to
Stay
Governor Candler has signed the
Soldiers’ Home bill. This means
that the old veterans of Georgia
will at last have a home, ana as
soon as possible the governor will
appoint the board of commissioners
to take charge of the place.
The bill, which was introduced
by Major Gary, of Richmond, car
ries with it an appropriation of
$15,000, to be expended in repairs
and to take care of the veterans.
There have been numerous ap
plications for the position of su
perintendent, but as yet the goy
ernor has not announced who he
will appoint. Some competent
man will get the place, however.
The home will be opened as soon
as possible, probably bv February

NO MONTHLY PAYMENTS
For School Teachers Says Commls
sloner Glenn In Annual Circular.
Atlanta New*
State School Commissioner G. R.
Glenn has prepared his annual cir
culars to the chairmen of the vari
ous county school boards through
.out the state. Tne most impor
tant part of the circular is as fol
lows:
“We are nearer to monthly pay
ment of teachers than we were at
this date, twelve months ago. It
is barely possible that we may not
even be able for two months next
spring unless the governor shall
see fit to borrow $200,000, Some
counties have ended this trouble
by teaching two months last spring,
so as to throw the five months
term begin in November and run
ning fall and next spring, making
the fall term begin in ‘November
and running through.to the Ist of
April. Those counties that adopt
ed the plan are now over the trou
ble provided we pay two months
next spring.
