BETTER TIMES AT HAND.
Commissioner of Agriculture Stevens
to Georgia Farmers.
Atlanta, Jan. 30.—The monthly crop
report has been issued by Commis

farmers of the state who aro becoming
dissatisfied with low prices and bad con
ditions to stick to their work and give
np the idea of coining to the cities to
make a living.
Mr. Stevens says:
“1 am sure that there is reason for the
•faith within me’ that Georgia lias
reached the last milestone on the down
ward road to poverty, and will, from
this point, steadily, and I hope rapidly,
advance toward the goal of prosperity
and independence.
“Do not be deceived if as planting
time approaches the men who control
the prices of cotton permit it to advance
a little in value. They want a large
crop planted and are even new getting
anxious, because of the prospective de
crease in acreage.
“You have been caught by this at
tractive bait in former years, and ex
perience should teach you to recognize
and avoid it now.”

CARE FOR HEROES* GRAVES.
First Step Toward Carrying Oat th
.Suggestion of McKlaley.
Washington, Jan. 28. Senator
Pritchard has introduced in the senate
an amendment to the appropriation bill
whioh is designed to bo the first step to
ward carrying out the suggestions of
the president for the care of the confed
erate graves. This amendment provides
for an appropriation for the preliminary
work.
It is as follows:
“To enable the secretary of war to
make a thorough examination and re
port to congress as to the number of
confederate cemeteries in the United
States and the location thereof, and the
number of confederate soldiers buried
in other than confederate cemeteries
and the location of such cemeteries,
with the view of ascertaining the best
method of caring for the confederate
cemeteries, and also for the removal,
where practical or desirable, of confed
erate dead Irom private cemeteries to
finch confederate cemeteries, the sum of
$10,000.”
As the amendment explains on its
face, it provides simply for paving the
way for the work. This is probably all
that will be done by this congress, but
after the information has been ascer
tained it is fully expected that the work
will go on and that the gravos especially
in distinctively confederate cemeteries
will be cared for.
NO WAR STAMP REQUIRED.
Attorney General of North Carolina
j Renders a Decision.
Ralkigh, Jan. 28.—The attorney gen
eral of North Carolina has given the
following opinion to a clerk of the su
perior court:
. “It is not necessary for you to place a
documentary internal revenue stamp on
a report made to this office. The state
has the right to conduct its own busi
ness through its own agencies without
interference, directly or indirectly, from
the national government.
“A state is but a corporation and can
not act except through its own agen
cies. The federal government cannot
require revenue stamps to be placed on
the official bonds of state or county
municipalities, though I notice the com
missioner of internal revenue has made
a different ruling.
“The power to take involves the power
to destroy. Congress has no power to
make tax deeds issued by the state void
for the want of a stamp, nor can con
gress forbid the recording of an un
stamped instrument under the state
laws.”
CHARTER FOR A NEW ROAD.
Ydne Will Directly Connect the Cities

Atlanta, Jan. 28. —An application
will be made to the secretary of state in
the next few days for the charter of a
new railroad —the Atlantic and Gulf

under that name at Baruesville, Ga
, The notice received by Secretary Cook
states it is contemplated to build the
new line between Macon and Mobile,
and traversing the most important
counties in middle and southwest Geor
gia, make an almost direct line to Mo
bile.
The new line from Macon to Mobile
if carried successfully through, will bo
of great benefit, it is believed, to the
southwestern portion of the state.
j Lash For Youthful Thieves.
Montgomery, Ala., Jau. 28. The
senate has passed a local bill which
evoked spirited discussion. It sought
to legalize the whipping of children for
petit larceny, instead of sending them
to the coal mines, to mingle for a term

senators insisted that the legalizing of
the whipping post would be a step back
ward, and declined to make the law
general, although at the request of Sen
ator Lyons of Mobile it was made a local
law for his county.
