TECH START NEW TERM.
Enrollment of More Than 500 Stu
dents Is Expected-
Atlanta Constitution.
The Georgia' School of Tech
nology opened yesterday morning
for the spring term with an enroll
ment of nearly 500 students. It is
expected the number will exceed
that when the lull enrollment for
the term is completed. President
Lyman Hall was exceedingly
gratified by the splendid showing,
and especially by the large num
ber of new students. The new
students were assigned to classes,
and those who could not be ac
commodated in the dormitory were
sent to boarding houses secured
lor them.
The old plan of entrance exam
inations has been done away with
by action of the faculty at a recent
meeting, resulting in a saving of
time to both professor and student,
and other advantages especially to
the latter. The students are anx
ious to see the new buildings put
tip and equipped, so that they may
seture the advantage ot them be
fore their terms expire. President
Hall is making all possible haste
with the new work and expects to
have the new building finished by
June. The students entered upon
their work enthusiastically yester
day, and the intervention of the
holidajs seemed almost to have
been forgotten.
Committee Plans-
Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 30. —
Judge J. G. Johnston, chairman of
the executive committee of the
Democratic National Committee,
who passed through Kansas City
eu route from Chicago to his home
in Kansas said:
"I am not in a position to say
what will be done toward main
taining the democratic organiza
tion perfected during the last cam
paign, but I will say that there
will be no reorganization of the
national committee. The commit
tee is organized until 1901 and
will remain practically as it is un
til that time. I believe that the
present organization can be
rnain f ained and made entirely
self-supporting.”

WILLING TO SWAP-
England Will Give Jamaica for a
PhilliDplne Slice.
New York, Jan. 1. —A special to
the Journal and Advertiser from
Washington says:
The British colo :y of Jamaica
will be given in exchange for a fair
share of the United States colony
of the Phillippines.
This is an international trade
which will probably be the result
of the acquisition by the United
States of the British Antilles.
In official circles it is thought
that Great Britain will not want
the island of Jamaica. If the
United States acquire the Danish
possessions and the prestige of
Great Britain as commanding the
highway to the Nicaragua canal
will disappear. The United States
will not only be able to command
the approach from the east but it
will, from its point of vantage,
control the ocean east of the Danish
Antilles from the magnificent base
which will undoubtedly be estab
lished there.
It will be interesting to recall
that when the United States senate
amended the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty the British press idea was
that if Great Britain was forced to
yield there should be some compen
sation to Great Britain What
Great Britain’s demand are will not
be clearly known. It is under
stood, however, that she will en
deavor to have the modus vivendi of
the Alaskan boundary made per
manent.
810 odv Duel With Pistols-
Charleston, S. C., Dec. —Three
men were killed in Abbeville, this
state, last night as the result of a
drunken man’s spleen and malice.
Two of them were the sheriff of
the county and a highly respected
Northerner, William Kyle, of
Massachusetts, who has been su
perintending the building of a cot
ton mill in Abbeville, were play
ing cards for pindars at the hotel,
when John Dansby, a notorious
gambler, and who was for several
years United States marshal, threw
$2.00 on the table and said: “Play
lor this.” This was refused, and
an altercation ensued.
Dansby suddenly drew a 45-cali
bre pistol and shot Kyle in the
abdomen, to the amazement of all
present. He then backed out of
the room, declaring that he would
shoot any man who attempted to
stop him. He was followed by
two policemen, but held them at
bay with his pistol until Sheriff
Kennedy and a number of citizens
arrived. The sheriff called to
Dansby to come out of the house
of his father-in-law, whither he
had fled and surrender. Dansby
came out closing the door behind
him, and with the remark: “Well,
we’ll all go to hell together,” com
menced firing. Dansby was shot
twice, in the leg and full in the
chest: the sheriff was struck once
in the left breast, the heart,
and fell as soon as hit. Dansby
walked some fifty steps and was
reloading his pistol when he was
shpt again, some say by the dying
sheriff. The sheriff and his slayer
died within a few minutes; Kyle
lingered until 2 o’clock today.
The Great Modern Newspaper 1 -
When all that portion of the
United States west of the Missouri
and Kaw rivers was a trackless
wilderness, nearly half a century
ago, the first issue of one of the
world’s greatest newspapers ap
peared. St. Louis, which was
then a mere overgrown town on
the western frontier of civilization,
has developed into a great com
mercial metropolis, and that great
modern uCwsgatnerer, the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, has kept pace
with the progress of its city and
section. It has been, from its first
issue to the present time, the chil
dren’s tutor, the youth’s counselor,
the woman’s companion, the farm
er’s instructor and friend. Its cir
culation extends to every state
and territory of the Union, to Can
ada and Mexico, and to every part
of the world where there are read
ers of the English language. It
ought to be in your home during
the coming year. See advertise

.of age, and had been an employe

lar. His funeral occurred at At
lanta, Rev. Sam Jones conducting
the services.
HEIRJTO MILLIONS.
Mr, T J. Felder, an Atlanta Man,
and Wife Receive $2,000,000-
Atlanta, Ga.. Dec. 31. —Confir-
mation of Thomas J. Felder’s in
heritance of $1,000,000 through
the death of M. j. Murphey, of
Nashville, was received here today.
The will has been probated in
Nashville courts, and by decree
Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Felder are made
joint executors of the Murphey es
tate, which is to remain in the
possession of Mrs. Murphey dur
ing her lifetime. At her death it
will be equally divided between
Mi. and Mrs. Felder. The estat*e
i valued at $2,000,0c 0, so that each
will receive a million dollars.
Mr. Felder was originally from
Aniericus, leaving that place sev
eral years ago to take up his resi
dence here, having been made the
representative of the Corbin Bank
ing company. He married adaugh
ter of Milton H. Smith, president
of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad.
From Atlanta Mr. Felder went
to Nashville, and from the latter
city to Baltimore, where he became
connected with the brokerage firm
of Hamilton & Cos. He is now en
gaged in the brokerage business in
New York city.
Met an Owl 400 Miles From Land-
Philadelphia Record.
The British steamer Etheireda
arrived in Philadelphia on Satut
day with a dead owl on board that
Capt. Marsey sent immediately to
a taxidermist to be stuffed. There
is a strange story connected with
this owl. It was observed in the
air by the sailors of the Etheireda
when the ship was 400 miles dis
tant from the Bermudas, the near
est land. It fluttered on to the
deck and when a man approached
it made a feeble bub vain attempt
to fly, and then settled down again
and turned over on its back with a
kind of moan. The man took it
up in his hands and it did not
struggle or make the slightest at
tempt to get away. It was as
thoroughly exhausted as any liv
ing thing ever was in the world.
The sailor killed the owl and pre
sented it to Capt. Marsey, who
prizes it highly enough to have it
stuffed because he thinks that to
have flown over 400 miles out to
sea, as this bird did, was a piece of
endurance never before equalled

BREEDING OF CATTLE
DEPARTMENT REPLIES TO SOME
QUESTIONS ON THIS INTER
ESTING SUBJECT.
HEREFORDS FOR REEF
About 100 of This Breed and Short
horns Have Recently Heeu Im
ported Into the State.
Questions. —1. What is being done
to secure for the farmers of Georgia
pure bred cattle that have been so thor
oughly acclimatized that they will not
die prematurely upou the farmers’ bauds';
2 Would it not pay some enterprising
person or firm to establish a stock farm
and keep pure bred cattle that have be
come imniuue against the diseases that
have caused such discouragement to tho
breeders of improved cattle iu Georgia!
3. Gould not the Prison Commission
do something on this line by •purchasing
a herd of pure bred cattle for the pur
pose of selling them between the ages oi
2 and 12 months to only those person*
in Georgia who will be bound by law tc I
use such cattle for breeding purposes
alone, and in this state ?
Answer—l. The Agricultural Depart
ment, in co-operation with Mr. Wade oi
the Southern railway, Mr. Sawtell, Mr.
T. H. Martin, Dr. Hunnicut and others,
caused to be brought to Atlanta during
the late Interstate Fair more than IOC
Hereford and Shorthorn beef cattle oi
from four to 12 months old. Coming
from an infected section of Texai
they are considered acclimatized and
immune. Some of them were purt
breeds and others from three-fourths tc
seven-eighths pure breed. Judges pro
nounced them as fine beef cattle as were
ever exhibited iu a southern state. Prob
ably one-half of the Herefords were
bought at cheap rates and sold at from
$35 to SSO each. About three-fourths oi
these cattle were sold during the fair in
Atlanta and the remainder at the Val
dosta fair and distributed over various
sections of the state. Good results are
hoped for from this fresh importation
and distribution of improved cattle.
Answer to 2 and 3. It has been sug
gested by some of our correspondents in
terested in this subject that the legis
lature might well appropriate a reason
able fund and authorize the prison f
commission to purchase for the prison I
farm near Milledgevilie a herd of puru '
blood bedf cattle, to be sold while be- j
tween the ages of 2 and 12 months to
only those persons iu the state of Geor
gia who will bind themselves to use such
cattle for breeding purposes alone and
duly in this state. We think this a good
suggestion.
Here we would urge that Herefords
be bred for beef and kept separate from
the Jerseys, which should be reserved
for dairy purposes. It should be remem
bered that the pure dairy strain is fat
removed from the pure beef strain.—
State Agricultural Department.
WORN OUT LAND.
It Can lie Restored to Fertility by
Judicious Fertilizing.
Question. —What can be done to re
store my worn out land?
A gentleman, who removed to Geor
gia from one of the states of the great
west a few years ago, visited Atlanta
during the Interstate Fair, held iu Octo
ber. In speaking of worn out lands he
said that Georgia farmers were not the
only opes who by an exhaustive system
of cultivation had deprived good lauds ;
of their fertility. When people began
to settle up the western states and found
lands that gave yields of 40 and 50
bushels of wheat to the acre, they
used the same laud year after year with
out returning anything to the soil, with
the result that the yield diminished uu-

til 6 bushel-• to the acre was the best
that could be obtained. Some of them
quit farming and began the raising oi
blooded cattle for the dairy and for beef
saving the manure and applying it tc
the laud in order to improve the pas
ture grounds. It was soon discovered
that wherever cattle wore kept the land
was being rapidly restored to its origi
nal fertility. Now there is no snob
thing as worn out lands among good
farmers in the west. Skillful fertilize,
tion and rot avion of crops keeps the
laud productive.
This gentleman purchased a place iu
Georgia on which most of the land was
what is called worn out. He went to
work to build it up according to the
methods so often recommended by this
department, viz: judicious fertilizing
with both commercial and homemade
fertilizers, studying the nature of his
soil and trying to supply it with the ele
ments most necessary for its renewal.
Among other things he purchased sev
eral fine Jerseys, which supplied him
with milk aud butter not onty for koine
consumption, but also for sale. The
•droppings from these cotLs were care
fully collected and applied to the land iu
some places alone and iu others in com
bination with other fertilizers. He
rotated his crops also aud now considers
his farm among the best of its size in
middle Georgia. He regards the pea
vine iiay as one of the best restorers of
laud and thinks highly also of the velvet
beau. This gentleman says that no land
that has ever been good can become sc
exhausted that its fertility cannot be re
stored by skillful farming.—State Agri
cultural Department.
